Protection from Cabbage Worms.

A correspondent of the Neag Eng
tund Former says ne last year raised
four hundred heads of cabbage. He
started them in hot beds about the
first Of April, and transplanted them
on cloudy day, as soon as the
weather and soil were warm enough.
The next day he put about a tea
spoonful of salt around each plant,
not minding at all if it fell on the
plant. This served to kill all worms
that might be in the soil. After the
plants begin to grow, lie stirred the
ground as often as possible; keep
ing it loose and friable. AS soon as
those pests, the butterfly that lays
the egg which forms the green worm,
appeared, he got haIf-pound of salt
petre, One-lOurth of a pound of cop
peras, and dissolved it in a half hogs
head Of water. With this solution
he watered the plants after each raid
Of the butterflies, which occurred
three times during the summer, and
by this means saved his cabbage from
the worms. not losing plant. This
method would not be very difficult
or expensive, and perhaps some Of
our readers may be disposed to try
il during the present season.

Fact in Grape Culture.

The following fact in grape culture
is Of some Importance. The fruit
bud from the base OF the past years
cane throws out larger and better de-
veloped grapes than either the first
or second. The grapes from these
buds seem also better favored, and
generally superior to those on the
first or second. In accordance with
this, cut the cane at such length as
to leave the third and fourth for
fruit. The number of fruit buds left
on the vine must depend on the age
and strength of the vine. If the
vines are strong and vigorous at three
years, from two to three punches of
grapes may be allowed to mature on
each branch without serious injury

Feeding Cattle.
Two.thirdg of the- COWS kept in tfe

Two-thirds of the cows kept in the
country would produce more than all
do now if they only had what they
ought to have to eat 1t is OF so
much improved breeds of stock that
are wanted as it is improved care of
what we have got. There is no
economy in letting an animal get
poor; but some people think it is all
gain if they only save little hay by
the operation. Some people argue
that they could make it up on grass,
not thinking that every pound lost
is lost, and has got to be replaced.
Whereas, if the animal had such feed
as it ought to have, it would not
have been lost.
One thing cattle need and do not
get, is plenty of salt +; they ought to
have some every day, but many do
not get it once a month. The best
plan of feeding is to give four or
five quarts Of corn meal, or corn and
oats ground together, (the finer the
BETTER well sailed, the first thing in
the morning; then roots, after Which
the cattle are turned into the yard,
where they should have feed of
straw and stalks to work at. and
plenty of water to drink. At night
give them what good hay they will
eat. They keep in first-rate order
on this. Feed four quarts of corn
meal a day all through the summer

IMPROVEMENT DEMANDED.

The South is emphatically an agricultural
country. By this we mean that the people of
the South are exclusively devoted to tilling
the soil. The natural facilities for manufac-
turing and stock raising are as good in the
South as in any other quarter of the globe;
but the people have been so long engaged in
agricultural pursuits, that there is in their
minds an aversion to engaging in anything
else. Such is the prejudice against every
other pursuit that it is more than probable
that no change will take place in the South
during the present generation. Our people
will continue to make cotton, and buy meat,
bread and clothes, as our fathers have done.
1t is a strange thing that, Notwithstanding
the fact that in the cotton growing States moth
ing but cotton has been raised, still no great
improvements have been made in the cultiva'
ton of cotton. But little effort in this direc-
ton seems to have been made. The effort
seems to have been to devise some mode by
which greater number Of acres could be
cultivated in cotton, but not to make the
acres produce the greatest possible amount of
pounds. Once this theory might be endured,
but at present it is runous. 1t costs money,

several weeks duration in North Carolina.
He visited Dallas, Lincoln, Newton and Hick-
ory Tavern, saw and conversed with men from
all the counties along the line of the road,
and is enthusiastic over the prospects of the
sure completion of his road. The private SUBJ
scription is increasing rapidly-in fact much
more is being subscribed than the most ardent
friends of the measure dared to hope for.
Colonel Gardner has completed the final sur
vey to Dallas, and informs DR.. Davega that
he has never in all his experience run line
50 adapted by nature for railroad as the
one located from Yorkville to Dallas. There
is no embankment nor excavation on the
whole line exceeding eleven feet in helgth or
depth, and for six miles on one stretch it is so
level that absolutely no grading whatever
will be required. The estimate is that the
subscriptions to the capital stock already made
are enough to grade the road from Yorkville
to Lenoir. Ifthis is so there is no doubt OF
the final consummation of this great and i'm
portant work."
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1873-09-11

and a great deal of it, too, to cultivate an
acre of land. It is clear that the greater
amount of cotton that each acre produces, the
greater will be the profit. If one acre of land
can be so improved that it will produce as
much as two acres do at present, the income
is more than doubled. The investment is
only half and the taxes and other expenses
reduced in proportion; still the income is the
same as if double the amount of land were
cultivated. On an average, we suppose that
about four hundred pounds Of seed cotton to
the acre is as much as is, at present, raised on
an acre. This is, we are convinced, not an
under estimate. 1t may be an over estimate.
By proper cultivation and by improving
the seed, we feel safe in saying that the aver
age yield might be made three times as much.
The expenses would no doubt be greater for
cultivating an acre properly than it is at pres
ent but not as much as might be supposed.
1t usually costs less to do thing right, than
to do it wrong or improperly. Now the
change which we think is demanded, is that
cotton be so cultivated that it be as remunera-
tive as possible to the cultivator. In order to
bring about this change, the theory of large
farms must be banished from the minds of
our people, Large farms are like overgrown
horses it takes great deal to feed them and
they soon wear out. Wealways have thought,
and still think, that there are portions of the
State of South Carolina that is excelled by no
other section on the globe. Nature has done
her part, but art has not done much. If COT
ton we're cultivated in South Carolina as grain
is cultivated in some portions of the world,
there is no telling what would be the results.
The same thing might be said about the cul'
tivation of corn, wheat, oats and the other
cereals. The average yield of breadstuffs
might be increased four fold. The climate OF
South Carolina is better adapted to the growth
of corn than Pennsylvania. Why do we not
make as much corn per acre as is made in
Pennsylvania? The only reason that can be
assigned is that we do not properly cultivate
our corn.

peared yesterday, myriads of catterplllars
having passed over them in the twenty-tour
hours. The fields literally presented the ap-
pearance of having been swept by fire."
The very striking difference between the
receipts of cotton last year and the present at
New Orleans, is stated as follows in the Times,
of the Both August: "There have been fur
ther receipts of 62 bales of new crop this week,
making the total to date II bales, including
one from Texas, against 1,641 bales last year,
including 210 from Texas. The crop accounts
have been much more discouraging, and
caused a pretty general reduction of esti-
mates"
The cholera is still raging to an alarming
extent in several of the Western States. In
Fayette Mo-, out ola population of six hun
dred, fifty have died. At Oakaville, Illinois,
twenty-three persons died in twelve hours, in
cluding five persons out of one family. Pa
tients die within fifteen minutes after being at.
tackled and turn black Immediately after death.
At Millersberg, KY, eighteen deaths, besides
twenty new cases, were reported in twenty
four hours.
The reports from the Virginia canvass in
dicate full vote and an overwhelming Con-
servative triumph. General indignation is
felt at the insolent attempt of the Administers
ton to control the politics Of the State and
organize there another Louisiana. The feel
ing and the activity of the canvass will prob
ably secure a majority larger than Governor
Walkers in 1869, for Kemper, the Conserva'
tive candidate. Col. Mosby says that KEN
per and the Conservative ticket will be elected
by from 10000 to 10000. 1t is said that il
the Conservatives carry the Legislature, there
will be general concurrence in favor of re-
turning the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter to the
United States Senate.
