The RURAI. CARoLISIAS FOR OcroBER.-The
present number Of the Rural Carolinlan COM
mences the second volume, and gives promise
that it will equal If not surpass, its predeces-
sor. Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken continues to
show himself one of the strongest thinkers
and writers, rs we'll as one Of the most success
full planters among the agriculturists OF the
South. His article in this number on Cattle
for the South is replete with sound sense and
practical suggestions. To give even orlef
sketch of the good things in this number would
take more space than We can spare, but we
cannot refrain from mentioning the following,
all of which should be carefully read by every
Southern planter, viz: "Beet Culture" by
Thos. G. Clemson; Experience. in Farming
By A. n. Latham, Especially noticeable as
showing that wheat can be proftably cultTa-
ted OF the SouthD ''Coffee and Coffee Culture"
:sFarm Accounts" Rural Review "Texas
Istle," by AK. s. Macrae, of Liverpool, Eng;
and Labor" by Hon. Alfred Huger.
The chronological and Home Departments
are worthy Of special notice, as being calcula-
ted to make the magazine Of more general in
terest to all members of the farmers family.
Take the number, all in all, the contents are
as creditable to the managing editor, Colonel
D. H. jacques, as the typographical appearance
is to the publishers, and that Is saying great
deal.
We are requested to state that the mailing
for the country circulation of the Rural Carroll
nian was concluded on Saturday, and that city
subscribers will be supplied to-day, those who
have postotice boxes, through the mail, and
others at their places of business.
