FARM AND GARDEN.
PEPPERMINT.

In an exceedingly interesting paper
read before the American Institute Far
mers' Club, on the 2sth ult, by DR.. E.
W. Sylvester, of Lyons, N. Y, he states
that within ten miles of his home there
is annually made $500, 900 worth of oil
from peppermint, and that the work is
mostly done by old men and children,
who are unable to perform heavy labor.
The peppermint will grow with luxu-
rance on land nearly worthless for other
plants. 1t likes best half drained black
swamp and wet river bottoms. Burrows
are laid off, from fifteen inches to two
feet apart, and mint roots, one yea old,
are streWn along in such manner, that
about three roots are abreast of each
other in the furrows. No cultivation is
necessary, except keeping down the
weeds and grass. 1t is moved when in
blossom and treated very much like clo-
yer hay. 1t is afterwards distilled into
oil. which sells for from 1925 to $3.50
per pound, an acre yielding from twenty
TO thirty pounds of oil. DR.. Syl-
yester estimates the clear profit at
from S25 to 800 per acre. He thinks a
crop of peppermint oil sold at $3.50 which
has been well fortified with brains will
pay well; without this fertilizer it will be
a loss. The Doctor thinks that the pep
permint grower is especially to be COM
mended, that instead of making two
blades of grass grow where only one grew
hefore he makes bright dollars where
none s-ew before. The kind planted
is what bo,t snists call Mertha viridiS.
As our farm, ais are looking more than
ever to a diversifc 'StiOn of crops, it might
be well to make experiments with such
as have not been tried in our State, and
yet have proved profitable IN others. We
trust our enterprising Robertson county
Association viii appoint committee to
try an acre on some of the swamp lands
in that county, and have it distilled In
one of the many distilleries that are now
standing idle through governmental inter
ference

A GLANCE AT THE sITUAS lON

We see but one way of overcoming the
many obstacles that impede the prosperity
of the farmers in the South, and that is
to recognize facts as they sre. That we
hayaa rich soil and genial climate is Cd
mitted by all. That we have facilities
for the transportation of produce no one
can deny. That we can diversity our
production to an almost unlimited extent
is q conceded fact. Then why are not the

perous as they are any wherei How does it
bappen that while the farmers of the North

RUTHERFORD, March 81, 1s71.--I am
much pleased with the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN, especially since you devote so much
space to agricultural affairs. Can you
not induce correspondents to be a little
certain of success before sending out a
recipe as effectual that is not worth the
trying, and is calculated to lessen the
value of tried experiments The idea of
putting a trammelled hen and her brood
to catch tobacco fess is certainly original,
but will not be resorted to by any one
acquainted with fleas-better unite the
hen and let her go to scratching for her
young. Subscriber, in the last number,
comes little nearer, as l know from re-
peated trial. A heavy sowing of GChe0t
bran on turnips or tobacco, just as they
make their appearance, and to be up
rooted after rain, is pretty effectual, be
cause the fly prefers sucking the bran
rather than the young plant; and if you
will take the trouble to examine in few
hours after sowing, you may see the little
pest seated OF his spech of bran contented
and happy. The plants in a few days
will be beyond his power to destroy.
That hen and chicken tale will not be
tIisd twice by the same man.
