Commissioner Of Agriculture

PEANUTs.-As we are in the midst of
planting time for peanuts, and as We have
received inquiries from several parties as to
the method and policy of making them
specially for reason given, We venture to
publish another article upon the subject of
the cultivation cf the peanut, particularly
as it differssiu some respects from the arti-
cles already publishsd A friend in Horny
County, ofthv atc, writes us as follows: j
The peanut is q profitable crop in this
section, and is worth from 81 rs to 50 so
per bushel, according to quality and hand
ling. Sandy loan suits them best, and shell
lime and surface from the hammock are ex-
collept fertilizers The land should be pre-
pared by thorough breaking. and laid off in
thirty-inch checks. Two peanuts should
be planted in each check. Shell before
planting and select the seed. Cultivate
with sweeps entirely, and as much upon
level as possible. running the burrows both
punches branch out. Chop through twice
with hoe. Keep the land as level IS pos
sible. Any time after the middle of April
and before the lst Of june is the time for
planting When the leaves become spot
ted, in the fall, the crop is ready to be har.
vested, and, if the nuts arc dug before frost,
the tops furnish the finest kind of forage for
s kns4 e sa sassh a9A aay HHa gatSe4ed at
that can be seen, there will be left in the
ground enough to fattcn at least one hog to
every acre. From forty to fifty bushels per
acre is fair crop in this vicinity.
We think from what we have published
that peanuts, where the soil suits, must be
a remunerative crop. We like that idea of
the refuse fattening the hogs. IF our far
mers only knew it, how easy it would be for
them to grow their own meat. Five acres
of red oats to the mule and one acre Of pin
ders to the hog for $50 pounds of bacon
needed, with potatoes, chufaS peas, and a
little corn, will make any farm in South
Carolina selfsustaining, andgivc the farmer
his cotton crop as net income. But these
little things are too troublesome. They dc.
mand too much Of our time, which we can't
spare from the cotton crop. Hence most OF
us plant cotton to excess, and grow poorer
every year-AIKEN in Ne,os and Courier

RoUp IN FowLs.-Regarding this often
sivc, troublesome, and often fatal disease
among fowls, farmer gave it as his opinion,
before the American farmers club, that
seven out of ten cases were owing to the
neglect of the poultry keeper, who permits
his birds to be exposed to wet grounds, cold
draushts and bad ventilation in the hem
houses. To prevent this troublesome visi-
tor, give the hens u wide, clear range and
plenty Of fresh water; keep them cool and
airy in summer, and warm and dry in the
winter.
This speaker thought that the best food
for newly Matched chickens is shelled oats
boiled few minutes and mixed with meal;
- -s=a---~~~sA L-n-l
egg, or, better still, crumbs of bread
Boiled potatoes given warm and corn meal
are also good. When they need animal
food the mother hen will provide this with
insects and the like A Aspoonful of sulphur
stirred with the food now and then will rid
fowls of vermin and tone up their systems;
this was particularly advised for young
chickens and turkeys.
DR.. j. V. G. Smith thought it all non
sense to try to advance the LIVER order of
animals; he did not approve of so much
codding and cooking for them. Give fowls
a wide range and they will take care of
themselves. Wild turkeys rarely lose their
young, and yet once domcsticated in the
barnyard the farmer finds much trouble in
raising thom, .-..,-......s...

Death otU. n. Consul Nawyer

DctAth VI Gs Ne SOHAul sawyer
NEw YORK, May IA cable dispatch
conveys intelligence Of the death OF Hen,
ry Sawyer, twenty.three years Consul Of
the United States at Paramaribo, Colony
Of Surinam, South America. The i'm.
mediate cause Of his death was injury
received q few days before atthe hands Of
sailor Of whom, in his official capacity,
Sawyer. had been called on to take cog.
nlzance. The sailor struck him violent
blow and otherwise maltreated him, in.
tlcting such internal injuries AZ to result
in hemOrrhage and death.
At the time Semmcs was in command
OF the privateer Sumpter he put in at Sur.
imam for coal and supplies. Sawyer
quietly bought up all the coal in the city,
70 that the rebel commander was unable
to get lump. A planter offered to fur.
nish Semmes with a quantity which he
had on his sea-shore estate, whereupon
Sawyer hired all the scows, punts and
boats in the harbor, so that Semmes was
obliged to use his own boats TO coal up
with. The consequence was that Semmes
was detained in the harbor ioE upward
Of a week, whereas he intended 10 re.
main only a few hours. In the meantime
Sawyer dispatched message to q United
States steamer then lying at Cayenne, but
the cowardice or treachery OF the com.
mander allowed the Sumpter to escape to
sea again, and the commander was sub
sequently cashiered for his conduct
