IT is often remarked by strangers visit
ing our State, that we show q larger
proportion OF good horses that any other
State in the Union. This, We tell them,
is owing to two principal reasons in the
first place, we breed from the very best
stock /; and in the second place, our peo-
pie use SHERIpAS's CAVALRY CONDITION
POWDERS, which in our judgment are OF
incalculable advantage.

THE FARMERS.

Of all pursuits by man invented
The farmer is the best contented;
His profits good, his calling high.
And on his labors all rely.
By him are all mechanics fed,
Of him the merchant seeks his bread;
His hands give meat to everything.
Fen. from the Beggar to the king.
Milk and honey, corn and wheat.
Are by his labors made completes:
Clothes from his efforts first arise.
To deck the fop or dress the wise. \,
Then we by vote may justly state
That farmers rank among the great;
More independent they than ali
That dwell upon this earthly ball.
All hail ! ye farmers !! young and old,
Push on your plows with courage bold;
Your wealth arises from your sod,
Your independence from your God.
If, then, the plow supports the nation,
And men of rank in every station,
Let kings to farmers make q bow,
And own the power of the p1ow.,

PRoF1T OF FARMINa.-No small expert
ence and some observation eonVinces me,
that circumstances being equal, farming will
furnish as ample dividend upon the capital
invested, as the common trades which men
engage in, and even the ordinary pursuits
of mercantile and commercial life. Of
course except all extraordinary cases Of
good fortune, and all matters Of gambling
and speculation.
The returns of most crops strike one some
times with establishment, and would, if taken
as a test, lead to the most delusive specula.
ton. A grain Of seed sometimes return one
hundred fold and this being sowed a second
year would, perhaps, give ten thousand fold,
and so on in geometrical ratio. Seven
bushels of potatoes planted, will yield four
-s4r.,rrsarea OF twenty -ffor-onc; a peck of corn
planted viii yield sixty bushels, or two hum
dred aud forty for one; pound Of carrot,
bdet or ruta baga seed will produce six to
nine hundred bushels, worth one hundred
dollars. ......
4 The proceeds in these cases seem to be
enormous, yet they are constantly realized,
and that too, in many cases at comparatively
small expense But no confident conclu-
sions of the exact profits of farming are to
be drawn from such results as these so many
untold circumstances of abatement enter in
to the cost, that if these were only the ele-
ments given in the case, the solution Of the
problem would give the most erroneous and
deceptive results.
We are not to look to agriculture for any
extraordinary or sudden gains, as for exam
pie the drawing of prize in lottery, or
shrewd speculation in stocks
IF we will take ten merchants with fixed
amount of capital, and ten fapmers with the
same amoapt, we will find that at the end of
twenty years the farmers have the greatest
increase, is more evenly divided among them
than among the merchants. Farming is al
so far safer and more certain to secure COM
potency than mercantile pursuits. Iventure
to say that twenty merchants fail in business
to one farmer, and this ought to open the
the eyes of young men with small capital
going into business.

CLOVER IN THE SOUTHERN STArEs.-I
have read several articles in the Argus in re-
gard to growing clover in the Southern
States. I am satisfied from personal observa.
tion and experience that it may be grown in
any of Southern States wheret there is clay
soil I have seen it grow well in the neigh
borhood Of Meridian and Aberdeen, Miss,
both on the prairie and the post oak land
1t grows we'll in Greene and Hale counties,
Ala. The great difficulty is that the farmers
pasture their clover too closely, and thereby
destroy it the first year. 1t should be pas
tured the second year little, but very little.
The first year it should not be pastured at
all. twill prove to be valuable crop by
not being pastured at all if the hay be
moved. Mr.. Charles Sherrard, near Colum-
bus, Miss, has founditto beavery remunera-
tive crop, and he has two hundred acres oft,
and intendes to increase the quantity. 1t is
much better to SOW it alone and not with any
kind of grain. It is much more apt to live
and do well in this .way.---Whenever the
landi is deeply plowed and the clover well
sewed it's sure to succeed Nothing will
do the lands Of the South 80 much good as
red clover. Hone half the open land of the
Southern States was in clover, and the other
half we'll manured and well cultivated, there
would not be such demand for labor, and the
country would produce much more than it
now does. I am glad to learn that in the
Tennessee valley they are increasing the

A Coop WIFE-Tne following sentences
from krchbisop- Seekers Wedding Ring are
worth reading:
Hast thou soft heart? 1t is of Gods
breaking. Hast thou a sweet wife? She is
, Of Gods. making, The Hebrews have a
saying, ~"He is not a man who. has not a
woman" Though man alone may be
good, it is not good for man to be alone.
Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above" A wife though she may
not be perfect gift, is good gift, a
beam from the sun of mercy. How happy
are those marriages where Christ is at the
wedding! Let none but those who have
found favor in Gods esfnd favor in yours.
Husbands should spread mantle of charity
over their wives infrmities. Do not put
out the candle because of the snuff Hus-
bands and wives should provoke one another
to love; and they should love one another
Notwithstanding provocations. The tree Of
love should grow up in the midst Of family
as the tree of life grew up in the garden of
Eden: Good servants are great blessing;
good children a greater blessing; but a good
wife is the, greatest blessing; and such help
let him seek, for that. lacks one; let him sigh
for that has lost one; let delight in that en-
joys one. ''''', 80.

The USE OF WATER.--Ihe. celebrated
French physician, Duomoulin, in his last
moments, while surrounded by several o.
his colleagues, who were deploring his ap

"Gentlemen, leave behind me three ex

present conceived himself to bo one of three
but they were soon undeceived, when he in

acater, >erercise and diet tt
AS the last two have been sufficiently
treated of in these articles, the first may
now demand attention, as it is of great i'm.
portance. The application of cold water to
the body is beneficial as purifier and as a
tonic. 1t is a true saying, that "cleanli.
ness is next to godliness !" the ancient law
givers recognized the intimate connection be-
tween the former and health, and secured q
great many sanitary blessings by making
ablution a religious ceremony. :
The skin is the natural outlet for the dis
charge of carbonaceous and effete matters,
the retention of which is liable to produce
disease; ifthe pores Of the skin be obstruc-
ted, the lungs have double duty, to perform
in separating the carbon from the blood
Cold water acts also as tonic, the most
powerful as also the most natural, promoting
the circulation in the skin, relieving inter-
nal organs, and, by its consequent reaction,
increasing the vigor Of the whole body.
The most convenient mode of application
is by means of sponge, thus avoiding the
sudden shock of the shower bath, and the
greater cold of general immersion The
use of cold water implies almost Of necessity,
that of friction; this, however, is valuable
in itself, by increasing the flow of blood to
the skin and relieving the internal conges-
tions-the primary cause of many diseases.
The digestive system, especially in old per-
sons, sympathises strongly with the condi-
tion of the skin; at this time of life, Ian
guild state Of the cutaneous circulation is
frequent cause of indigestion and i'll health
The Duke of Wellington, well called the
"Iron Duke" owed, in great part, the re-
markable preservation Of his physical facul-
ties to habits Of exercise, and to his vigorous
and persevering use of friction over the
whole body. He heartily approved of that
excellent invention, horse hair friction

EIGHT ACRES OF CYMLINs.-There is a
spontaneous cymblin patch in the Dismal
Swamp that covers eight acres of land when
the vegetable is in full seasonable growth.
The vines run up on trees fifty feet high,
and hundreds of lumher-getters use the
cymblins as feature of their diet all during
the season. The patch, it is said, originated
from single squash left on the ground
several years ago by some of the swamp
negroes, and every year the prolific plant
spreads out farther and farther in its
