Cabbage: How TO Nefeat the Cut
ECsm.

The first step to filling out cabbage
squares with vigorous plants, is to trans
plant them well. The first difficulty that
meets you after that, is the cut.worm.
Among some Old clippings in our drawer
VIC find method which purports to meet
the whole case. Try it On part of your
garden:
"Prepare a mixture of parts Of rich
fine mould, part SCOT, and one part flour
of sulphur, put them together in some
vessel, and mix in water until the whole
is reduced to the consistency of cream.
When the plant is drawn from the seed
bed, let it be dipped into this prepara-
ton up to the first leaves. This will pre-.
vent the attack of the cut-worm, and will
give hcalthful impetus TO the growth of
the young plant. Care should be taken
in setting the plants into the bed-never
setting them upon u bed or ridge, but
should be set rather lower than the level
of the ground. When raised they are
subject to the effect Of drought, as the
garden is more easily affected than any
other plot of ground on the plantation.
The culture should be frequent and al~ays
deep"
All right:-exccpt that the garden need
not be "mvrc easily affected than any
other plot of ground on the plantation. F."
Remedy: Trenching.

The Sweet Potato kgaia.

JAN sArls," in the Culeitator, gives
his plan of planting and working this val
liable crop. 1t will probably be Of ser
vice. and we therefore extract it. But
how came "Jam Salts" to say, in speak
inS of this csvr:cnt: "Thi.; crcp, more
;l.an ANY other, has prevented the rccur
renee of those dreadful t;llnines of which
We read in the history of Europe" Look
out for the critics, "Jam" But to the
extract:
"Whcn the time for planting arrives,
or just before, open witha shovel Il broad,
deep furrow, in which place liberal guam.
tiiy Of compost nlauurc, and upon this
build the ridge. When the plants are
ready for setting, attach to the plow stock
IL blunt, round pointed shovel, and over
this iasten board covering all but 2! or
3 inches of the shovel point. Run this
shtly over the ridge, which will be left
on top slightly concavc or hollow. The
ridge should be at least foot high when
thus knocked of: Ii the slips are 3 or 4
inches high, take them up carefully, wet
ting the bed, if they arcdisposed to break
in two. Wtha stick eight inches long and
one in diameter, make the holes four inch
cS deep along The centre Of the ridge;
then, with tile left hand, dip the slip to
lhc first leaves in these holes, at the same
ti:nc, with the right hand, slightly com
press the earth together and downward.
Never wait for rain, but do as above,
and when the holes are made, fill with
water and quickly insert the slips. In
very dry weather, it is essential to water
on the following evening. The time for
setting is late in the afternoon.
The first plowiug is done with q collier
or a long buIl-;olgue and an eighteen inch
solid sweep, the Golfer running near the
plant, ana the sweep throwing the dirt TO
them. The hoe should follow, still keep.

HORSES FEET REQUIRE MoIsruRE.-
Nine-tcnths of the diseases which happen
tn the hoofs and ankles of the horse, are
occasioned by standing on the dry plank
floors Of the stable. Many persons seem
to think, from the way they keep their
horses, that the foot Of the horse was never
made for moisture, and that if possible it
would be beneficial if they had cowhde
boots to put on every time they went our.

Something Decidedly New.

Til, alert editors Of the Southern Gil.
Grutor present novel method of improv-
ing exhausted soils. Afraid TO subscribe
to its wisdom, VIC yet put it forth among
our readers as at least a curious problem.
Worked out properly, it may do,-n
Georgiia;; but in South Carolina we fear
the Q. E. n. would show very ligh.priced
bacon. Still, the Culhieator is prime au-
shortly. and we advise all to read what it
says on the subject:
:; As the improvements Of our worn lands
in the older portions of the Cotton States
is or should benow the great object of the
planter, we submit the following cheap
.clhnd Of improving portion of the
plantation, afterwards to be placed in a
condition to improve other portions. Let
lis suppose that it requires only five bush.
els of corn to fattcn a hog, after he has
illd full run Of the pca-liclds. The plan.
ter who kills 100 head Of hogs will, there.
fore, require five hundred bushels of corn
to t;ltten them. If the yield of land, old,
worn and without manure, should be ten
bushels of corn to the acre, then it will re.
lure fifty acres Of corn 10 iatten his hogs.
Suppose, that instead of putting all the
land in corn and peas, every fourth row
should be planted in pumpkins or sweet
potatoes Instead of gathering the corn.
let it be gathered by the hogs pcnned III
small lots. The portion in pumpkins or
sweet potatoes will prevent the necessity
of turning out the hogs to water or haul
ing it to them. If the land be poor, the
rows in pumpkins must be manurcd be.
fore planting. As soon as the produce of
the land pcnncd in is eaten up, the. pen
should be moved, and the whole field
should be gone over in this way.
BY this plan there is 4 great saving Of
labor. The moving of the pens is not
nearly SO much labor as gathering and
hauling the Corn and afterwards feeding
i! by hand The hauling Of the manure
is saved, except the small amount ncccs-
Sary ior the Pumpkins or Potatoes. ]! II
be preferred: the fourth row may be left
implanted, but regularly worked and Tur.
nips sowcd at the proper time, giving the
row a manuring of Supcr-Phospllate Of
Lime. The Turnips have more water in
them than either of the other plants. and
are perhaps better on that account.
All the manure Of the hog, both solid
and liquid, goes to the land 1t is evenly
scattered by the animals themselves
The restoration of one crop TO the soil in
this manner would greatly benefit it. II

Red and White Clover should follow the

y WORD TO PLANrExs.-Wc trust the
citizens of the Confederate States vii!
iaugurate this year a system of agricul.
ture at variance with the former usagcs
and customs. We would, if possible, urge
upon every planter, large or small, rich
or poor, to cultivate less land in cotton,
aud cultivate it better, handle it more
carefully, and bale it well. Let the motto
of every planter be quality, without re-
gard to quantity. The result of such a
course will be a better article of cotton.
bringing u better price. More corn and
small grain, FIT horses, hogs and cattle,
and fewer ovcrworked masters and ser.
wants, fields left in better condition, and
some time during the year for rest and
enjoyment. The Confederate States of
America is and should become the garden
spot of the world, as well as the most
wealthy and intelligent republic on the
globe. Her SONS and daughters can make
her so, and none can contribute more to
so desirable All attainment than the farmer
and plauter.-Columbus Sun.

Some one says, talking Of tattening
animals:
Whatever may he the food given,
two indispenSablcs must be observed,
namely, cleanliness both of animal and
food, and regularity. We have known
half the value of food wasted by fifth and
diScomtort-worse than throwing away
cash; and We have known animals to
waste more flesh by trcttipy long for an
expected meal, than the food restored.
Another hint from another quarter or
sao,her point, is this:
BE careful that animals have sufficient
exercise, and plenty Of pure, fresh air.
Stables must be well Ventilated

This most interesting hrauch of field

Sc Food For the Sick"

In i long list of articles of diet for the
sick, furnished to Northern paper, We
find the following cmetic:
"Cut some codiiShto bits the size of q
pea, and boil it minute in water TO fresh
en- it. Pour oil all the water, and add
some cream and little pepper"
To make amends for this nauscating
suggestion, our Yankee caterer gives some
of more delicate quality, among Which are
these:
"A very excellent food for delicate
stomachs may be made by swcetcning
water, cold or hot. with refined sugar, and
crumbing into it stale bread;
In ali cases of sickness, when the ap.
petite Graves fruit We would give it, ripe
aud fresh in its season, or preserved and
cooked in the most simple manner. Ap.
Plies for the sick should always be roasted
SO should potatoes.
BEEF TEA is another sine qua non in a
Northerners dietctic dispensatory, and is
thus prepared:
Take perfectly lean parts CT fat beef,
cutit into cubes half an inch square. and
soak it some hours in cold water. ard then
boil all together for an hour. You may
impove this by adding toasted cracker
on each bowl-full."
