r I I I ' r r- : -j- From the Bl of the South. HINTS ON SEVERAL SUBJECTS- Makiimng. I nm of the opinion that strong table man area rare best pot on broad cast, in sufficient quantities to cnricli the land : I have tried several modes of manur" iug in the hill, and drill but find none of them to answer so rel as putting it on broad cast. I find apes experiment, that cotton seed sowed thick in the furrow, preferable to dropping them in a bunch around the corn. (I drill all my corn, especially in dry weath er.) The corn in not .so apt to fire as when the seed ore thrown immediately around it. I experimented upon one acre of very poor pine land this year, (in crn.) I had a small handful of cotton Rned sowed upon the corn after it was dropped, (I mean to he hill) and the corn covered with a board. 1 plowed it as usual. The second plowing after the corn was. hided, I had another handful of cotton need sowed in one of the iding furrows. I gathered from this one of poor land, three barrels, of fine corn. Fkepari.no Lako fob Planting Corn. I break my land deep with a scooter. rather in bed- : I tben lay off the beds for planting, by opening then in the centre with a, large broad topped scooter, with a brood round point, have the corn dropped about U feet apart i:nd covered with a board. In light sandy soils, I ase nothing but a mole pointed sweep with the riyht wing turned up like a mould board, to throw the dirt to the corn. In giving it the plowing in this manner, I bare a nice bed thrown Up to the corn. I find that deep plowing is lajnriew in light soils. The cause why deep plowing is bo very injurious to oropa of oorn on light sandy hinds, is, there is not unc tions matter enough to make the soil stick to the young roots of the corn. Therefore the coin mu-t make a stand for the want of nutriment from the earth until there comes ruin to settle the dust to the roots. Any one can test this by pulling up a stalk of oorn on light sandy land and one in closo land. I am very particular in selecting my seed oorn- It is a law in philosophy, that like products like ; or, in other words, that like causes produces like effects and if this bo the case, how important is it that wo should select good, sound, well matured ears of corn for planting. My mode of selecting my seed corn, is, when I am taking it up from the pile, I then have a chance to select ears of large size, and those that are heavy and well matured. And another thing essential is, to seieet tho?e ears that have good hard cobs and large hearts. Corn that has large hearts coines up much stronger than corn that has small hearts. Also, I think large cobs pre ferable to small ones, when the grains aro long. Freparino Land for Cotton. On clay lands, I bed as is the custom of the country. On light soils, I turn two furrows together, leaving a hard space between them, then plant the seed in a small drill, covering them with a board. The cause of my leaving this ridge of hard earth in the oentre of my cotton beds, is, that the cotton does not commence growing until the tap root gets to a hard surface. This I found out by palling up cotton plants at various ages, when it first comes up until it begins to take the second row of leaves. I roll my cotton seed in strong ashes : this makes them sow very even and thin, whioh is n great advantage in chopping out; the plants are much stronger, and being thin in the drill, it is not so subject to die; and another advantage from being thin, it does not require being chopped out so soon, and a hand can chop much more than if it was thick. I raise a fine stock of cotton sent from Mississippi, (the Reyuold's cotton.) It makes 34 pounds of ginned cotton to 100 in need. I also plant old seed ; this gives me the full matured seed, the faulty drying up, which keeps my cotton from adulterating. Best Oats, is a large Northern Oat, that turns very yellow when ripe. The time to sow them is in October and November make one third more than oats sowed in -int r. Sweet Potatoes. I take my potatoes up in the spring, after the moon fulls in March, and put them out in beds, that they may sprout, t-o that by planting time, I can tell those that will not come up. I then (about the iridic of April.) plant them, two small pieces in a hUL I usually plow mv ground up two or three times, and when I want to plant my potatoes, I bed up mv land like for cotton, some three feet aport, and check it oft' the same distance, to throw my potatoe land in hills. I then throw my potatoes on the middle of these beds, and rake up dirt enough on the potatoes to cov er them. My mode of tending them, liko most of my crop, is with the sweep, until uk hmhi are too long tor the sweep, and then frequently cut them off, finding it cheaper to cut off the vines, than to culti vate the potatOfl with the vine. I hill them up about the last of July or first of August, leaving a flat hill, so that it may not be too high from the surface of the earth : when the hills are made very high, in dry seasons the hills become so dry that it is almost im possible for rain to moisten the hills through. Every third year at least, I raise my seed !otatoes from vines cut about 14 iuches ong, and planted like draws ; this keeps the potatoes smooth and clear of strings. t D. MUSE. Moisture by Deep Plowing Morri son says in the Farm Journal. that he broke up a stiff sod for corn with a heavy plow, drawn by four oxen. A sub-soil plow fol lowed, running down six or seven inches deeper. The whole was so thoroughly per formed, that a stick could be thrust down into the loose earth, in almost any part of the field, to the depth of fifteen inches. The summer was exceedingly dry, pastures were burnt and bare, and all the" crops suf fered severely? Hut the corn on the sub soil land continued green and luxuriant throughout the season. j THE MODEL WIDOW. She wouldn't wear her veil up on any account. Thinks her complexion looks fairer than ever, in contrast with her sables. Sends back her new dress because the fold of crape on the skirt isn't deep mourning enough. Steadily refuses to look in the direction of a dress coat for one week. Wonders if that handsome Tompkins who passes her window every day is insane euough to think that she will ever marry again ! Is very1 fond of drawing off her glove and resting her little white hand on her black bonnet, thinking it may be suggestive of an early application for the same. Con cludes to give up housekeeping and try boarding at a hotel. Accepts Tomkins's invitation to "attend the children's concert," just to please little Tommy! Tommy is delighted, and thinks Tompkins is a very kind gentleman to give him si much candy and so many boa boas. His mamma begins to admit certain little alleviations of her sorrow, in the shape of protracted conver sations, walks, rides, call. She cries a little when T inmy asks her if she has not forgotten to plant the flowers in a certain cemetery. Tompkins comes in and thinks her lovelier than ever, smiling through her tears. Tommy is sent out into the garden to make lpretty dirt pier-,' (to the utter demolition of ft. new frock and trousers.) and returns very unexpected to find hi mamma's cheeks very rosy, and to be tossed up in the air by Tompkins, who declares himself his "new, new papa!"

The fact now being established that a Rail Road is to be constructed immediately connecting the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, running through the entire length of the county, East and West, and in view of the great fertility of our soil, the unusually line growth of pine timber on the land, the healthfulness of the climate, and the reasonable terms on which lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps no section of the Union which affords equal inducements to the emigrant from the older States. Having had some experience in farm ing on the different kinds ot land, and ac quired a general know ledge cf them through out the county, and having acquired unusual facilities for pointing out such as are for sale either of public or private lands, he feels very confident of making it the interest of all persons wishing information, or who may have deter mined to settle in Florida to call on him.
