PLANTATION WOI?K FOR MARCH.
March is the biftlaarag " &Irin in the
cotton States, mid tin- rum crop sliouUl now
be planted as rurly and us rapidly mm the
weather and a proper pr; nnitioti of the
Innd will permit. Wfl nrV aware that many
of our planting frieiuN jnt ther BCcd com
in the gTound with tin,- cold and frost of
February, but wi- can m no advantage in
Nidi ill-judged liu.-te: mid as we never could
ee any thing proper or eoaaotendatorj in
a manifest error, we cannot recommend
planting corn in the winter, though it be
e-vcr so popular with those planters who
crop to the extent of 25 to ,'JU acres to tho
hand ; we are not that far along yet !
If you hav: spent tin- month of February
iu the proper preparation of your corn land
in plowing it up deep am! close, and you
have a littlo n:uure, such as cotton seed
or guano, i put on it, ynu need have no
appreheniui:-, if you get your corn planted
by the loth to the tiOth of March ; n. other
planting is so likely, as yours, or so certain
of producing a fine crop of corn. Of this
out. fact, ho'.vcver, no planter should lose
fight, that you u d not calculate, with any
probable degree of certainty, upon a re
numerating yield, when you plant your
corn upon unprepared land, whether you
plant early or late, and the seasons will
most probably hit wrong during all tin
growing year- Time and care expended in
putting your corn in the ground in good
condition, tells most advantageously upon
the prosperity of the growing crop, and its
usury is realized in the gathering. A good
start, and a fair start, in the planting of the
crop and by that we don't mean a winter
start is like a good start in all other un
dertakings ; we feel its benefits through all
the wock.
Planters differ very materially, and even
under very similar circumstances, as to the
frpacing and distancing of the corn rows on
the laud, and the hills or stalks of corn on
the rows. We do not here propose to de
tain our readers with our individual mode of
doing this work, which we have written so
often; hut this we will say, that itjs a mat
ter of the first importance, after the proper
preparation of the soil, to so arrange your
rows by levelling, distancing and spacing
tho stalks on the rows, that, at the most
luxuriant period of the corn's growth, while
It is in the bearing stage, the land should be
just even full ; if too thick, and a greater
quantity of the proper elements of the grain
bo needed than can be furnished by the soil,
the whole crop suffers ; and if. on the other
hand, your stalks occupy so much as 20,
25 or lit) superficial square feet, as we fre
quently see, the crop, however flattering,
does not more than pay expenses, and but
poorly compensates the labor.
This is a subject too little cared for by
our Southers planters ; few think of meas
uring, or estimating, or even givinga thought
as to the quantity of soluble fertility, or
plan food their land may possess per acre;
henco t-o little system and rule in regulating
tho stalks of corn or cotton on the land
Every planter should know, with a very
good degree of certainty, the capacity of
every oore of land he cultivates. If you
havo land containing sufficient soluble food
for 4') bushels of corn per aore, and you
very thoughtlessly or carelessly plant it, so
as to gather but 20 bushels or less, either
by putting too many or too few stalks per
acre, your interest suffers, and the failure
Is attributed to bud seasons. Deep, deep
plowing, the thorough preparation of the
land, is the first important object; the pro
per arrangement of the rows on the land,
and the hills or stalks on the rows, is the
next essential; and when this is the case,
our word for it. the seasons will hit exnctlv
right for a fine crop, nine years out of ten.
W hope the planter, who doubts this, will
endeavor to disprove it by experimeut.
Much of the preparation, in tha way of
plowing and bedding the land for cotton, is
to be done this month. Do not allow your
self becuuse some one or more of your
neighbors say they are done bedding and
have commenced planting cotton by the
20U of March to be hurried into a slight
and half performance of this absolutely es
seutial work, by which any thing like a
certain and full yield of the land is to be
obtained. Bear this in mind, because it is
an axiom successful cotiou culture that
the preparation season, if understandingly
and properly employed, is the most im"-
portant season during all the culture of the
crop. Let nothing deter you from plowing
deep 12 inches, if you have the team and
plow to perform the work, and in this furrow
12 inches deeper, with a subsoil plow,
Such work will secure a good and heavy
crop on any character of land, and under
any ordinary vicissitude of season. Indeed
u is me ouiy work that can he rejied
for a crop on any hind.
Mr. A. says, "1 dare not plow my samlv
land but (i iiwluii J v. .. .
(' oecause if i too
upon
and friable soil; this is the direct effect of
deep plowing on all land. By the subsoil
ing, as deep again, you relieve the growing
crop from all surplus moisture at a wet time,
and in a drought you furnish the sure means
for sufficient moisture; first, you facilitate
the dip of the roots of corn and cotton down
into the earth; second, in the same way,
you facilitate the capillary attraction that
is always going ou between a loose, pul
verized surface and the moisture below.
There is no plant more benefitted by sub
soiling in our climate, and on our lands,
1 than the cotton plant. Much rain and
! surplus moisture injures cotton, at all stages
j of its growth; deep plowing and subsoiling,
; in preparing the lands, counteracts the
effects of too much rain and moisture at the
surface.
CrjKi ion a Founder. The Ohio Cul
tivator giveB the following recipe for cur
ing the foundur more correctly speaking,
the water-founder : Bleed the horse from
the neck as long as be can stand up ; then
make him swallow one pint of salt; annoint
well around the edges of his hoof with
spirits of turpentine; keep him from drink
ing too much water, and he will be well iu
a few hours. The writer says : "The above
recipe cured a valuable horse for me, last
spring, after trying nearly every other rem
edy without success. The six dollars paid
for the back numbers of the Cultivator has
saved me a horse worth upwards of $100
otherwise he must have died."
HOW TO AVOID THE FIRST CROSS
WORD.
In the Southern Ladies' Companion for
June, a happy wife thus imparts the secret
of her happiness : "In the first place, it is
important that you should marry the man
that you lore. Without love, the first,
second and third cross word will be apt to
come ; aye, and sour looks, sneers, und alter
cations too. Marry the man you love, and
after you arc married do not consider that
your husband has nothing to do but to dance
attendance on you. But consider that he
has the business that is necessary for your
welfare on his hands, and that if he neglects
to attend to it strictly he will become in
volved, and perhaps come to beggary. In
the next place, consider well what is your
duty, and endeavor to do it to the very
letter. Base indeed must be the man that
will be unkind or indifferent to a wife, when
he knows that she does her duty. In the
next place, confine yourself in your expen
ditures to your husband's income. It must
be a very great cross indeed to a man to
have an extravagant wife. When your
husband comes home, weary with the busi
ness of the day, have everything as neat
and comfortable as you can. Let his repast
be as good and well served up as you can,
without being extravagant, Greet him with
a smile. If he is full of conversation, en
deavor to be so too. If he is not disposed
a
to talk, do not annoy him with a constant
chat about indifferent things, but endeavor
to engage him in conversation by talking
about things that will interest him. If you
do not succeed, do not sit down moping in
doggerly silence, as if you had been slight
ed, and think, because your husband does
not talk to you, that he has ceased to love
you ; but attend to your own business, and
when your husband speaks to 3011, answer
him kindly, and let him see that you are in
a good humor. If your domestic affairs
perplex you, and you are out of humor when
lie comes in, do not frown on him, nor
answer him sharply. Let him see that you
are kind and affectionate to him, though
your feelings maybe harrowed up by other
matters. Should your husband speak harsh
ly to you, do not answer him in the same
way, but speak kindly to him. and ask him
in what way you have offended him, (if you
do not know.) and endeavor to do so no
more. 1 am convinced that nine-tenths of
husbands will assume a pleasing look, and
be as attentive as ever. True indeed is the
proverb, "A soft answer turneth away
wrath." If you have children, govern them
strictly, yet kindly ; do not let your hus
band have that on his hands. Let him see
that you can have order in your house
without scolding, while he is present.
Never oppose your husband's will. You
may give him your opinion on anything you
may think proper ; but never set up your
way, and contend for it to go so. A woman
was not made to govern, but to be a help
mate for her husband. If your husband
appears cold and indifferent to you, do not
upbraid bin with a want of affection for
you; but be as affectionate to him as ever,
and even more so. If you have a husband
that has a common share of human kind
ness about him, (and I hope none of the
fair readers of tho "Companion" will be so
unfortunate as to get one that is not,) he
will soon lose all his coldness, and be the
same he was the day he plighted lasting
io e ami mtciity to you at the sacred altar
WHY SOL JENKINS STOPPED
DRINKING.
Sol Jenkins was fond of a dram, and at
any time Sol would work for hours around
the taverns and depots for a glass or two of
the particular, when no money could induce
him to work for wage. The freight agent
often found Sol a useful character in sepa
rating and delivering merchandise at the
depot. About a month after Dan Rice's
Circus and Museum were exhibited at Do
Kalb a barrel was found at the depot marked
'Professor Lap wig, Cincinnati.' By some
oversight it had not been shipped as direct
ed. When the agent observed "pure spirits"
marked upon the head he had some mis
givings about Sol's having had some anterior
knowledge of the matter, and what increased
the suspicion was that the barrel had become
partly empty. Now, to ship it in its present
condition would not only involve the Com
pany in a loss, but subject the agont to a repri
mand from the Directors of the Illinois
Central. Sol looked very grave when the
subject of the barrel was mentioned, assur
ing the agent that he knew nothing of the
matter. At last the agent thought it ex
pedient to open the barrel and discover if
anything of value was contained in it. Sol
happening to be around at this moment he
was requested to knock iu one of the heads,
when lo he beheld a dead boa constrictor
that died at Maurice, a few miles west of
De Kalb, about a month previous, while
being exhibited by Dan Rice Sc Co. Sol's
appearance can better be imagined than
described. He suddenly turned paler than
the lifeless body of the monster snake.
Then there was a sudden upheaving of his
innards; the agent at once smelt a mice
and being somewhat of a wag, and having
some of the weakness of human nater in
him, advised Sol to go over to the tavern
and take a glass of whiskey, as he did not
appear to be well. Sol has not been known
to take a drop since the awful disclosure.
Once he stepped up at the bar, but as
the glass met his lips some one standing
near said, "snake." Sol left without the
drink, and was soon seen under a shed en
deavoring to throw aside all the taste of his
snakeship.
The Irish Highwayman. Pat's finan
ces having become low, he borrowed an old
pistol and turned out highwayman. See
ing a jolly old farmer come jogging along.
Pat concluded there was a good chance to
possess himself of some of the requisites he
so much stood in need of. Presenting his
old pistol, he demanded the farmer 'to
stand and deliver."
The poor fellow forked over fifty dollars,
but finding Pat somewhat of a greenhorn,
begged a five to take him home, a distance
of a half mile. The request was complied
with, accompanied vith the most patroniz
ing air. The old farmer was a knowing
one. Eyeing the pistol, he asked Pat if he
would sell it.
"Is it to sell the pistol! Sowl, and it's
that same thing I'll be after doing! What
will ye be after giving for it ?"
"I'll give you a five dollar bill for it?"
"Done ! It's a bargain !"
The moment the farmer got the weapon
he ordered Pat to shell out, and threatened
to blow bis brains out if he refused.
Pat looked at him with a comical leer,
and buttoning his britehaloons pocket, sung
out: "Blow away, ould boy! duse a bit o'
powder's in it."
It is said the farmer told the last part of
the story but once, and that was by the
purest accident.
