BROOM CORN. The prices which broom command in the South, ought to Induce our farmers to cul- j tivate broom corn, mid eonie of our citizens to fro into the manufacture of brooms. Com , brooms are WW wiling at to 374 c-nts ' each, while they could be made and mM 1 ere l hi nie, with a profit, at Id cents. But. the South, blind to its own interests, goes to the Nottb even for its broom? a j well as tr thousands of otlieir tilings which ; could be manufactured cheaper ai.d better ; r.t home. Ab.ut the lo;g;tude of New Yolk, the j proper time to plant broom corn is from the j J.-t to the 15th ot June. Tiie rows should j be about tatCO and a hu'.f feet apart, and , Ike plants when thinned out to stand from tour to pis inches apurt. The land MMTi iiifbk for broom coin is not t!ie richest Indiun Ban land, but rather a Debt loam. ia good tiltii, deep plowed and finely pul verised with the harrow, and manured with well rotted compost, or with guano or super sulphate. The cultivation at first requires a good deal of careful work with the hoe. to thin out the weeds and keep them clear of weeds and grass. The after cultivation can be done with a horse hoe. It is labor lost to hill up broom corn, as well a.-. Indian corn. Just before the seed is ripe the far mer goes through his broom coi n and breaks down the stalks in such a manner that two rows interlock and support each other. This process keeps the brush strahjhter than it would be if allowed to come to ma turity upright. It should be hurrested be fore the seed is fully ripe, us it then has a brighter color and tougher brush. The teed should be stripped otF as soon as the brush is cut, and the stalks cured in the shade, while the seed saved for use must he kiln-dried, or carefully cured in the sun. The seed, unless fully ripened on the stalk, is very ditlicult to cure. If allowed to lay in a heap it will heat so as to endanger buildings from spontaneous combustion. The yield of an aere of broom corn, upon good land, say such as would produce 50 bushels of corn, will be from o0) to 8lK) pounds of brush, worth from live to ten cents per pound, according to the demand. It is generally consididend a profitable crop ; many think it an exhausting one. o ATTEND TO YOUR PEACHES. The Alabama Planter says: A gentle man handed us yesterday the following, which may be of service to some of our readers. A friend of mine has just inform ed me of the success he met with by the application of charcoal to peach trees. A few years ago he had some fine peach trees in his garden whic h invariably had worms fruit, and the tree- were full of gum. When the fruit was about the size of marbles, he bad the earth removed from each about two f et round and three inches deep, and filled with charcoal. The result was that the fruit grew to a fine size, free from worms, and every year since the fruit has been good, and the trees become healthy and free from gum, while two trees left without the charcoal continue to bear wormy fruit and are unhealthy. HOW TC KILL HAWKS. Take a large teaspoon full of grated or rasped Xnx Vomica, or as it is sometimes called "Or Vanit," and add to it one pint of corn meal ami mix it thoroughly; after which, feed to the small chickens, in the yard, and as sure as a hawk takes a chick en when the Xux Vomica is in the craw of the chicken, so sure will that hawk never come after a second chicken. I am satisfied. .Mr. Editor, that after one yenr's experiment, never to be without the Nux Vomica if 1 continue to raise chickens or turkeys, where the hawks are trouble some. So far from the Nux Vomica injur ing the chicken or turkey it keeps them lively and thrifty. Of course you will dis- I continue the use of the Xux Vomica, when ! the chicken is large enough to keep out of i the way of the hawk. The discovery is not original with me. i a e i i i . i , I dui so mr u t unow, wus mane ov an oiti widow lady, who had more poultry in her yard at one time, than many others togeth- er, and not a gun was fired at a hawk, whilst her residence was near a swamp.

TRUE FRIENDSHIP. BY JEAS L. BRUCE. Oh ! what happiness what brightness, Iu Bare changeful scenes appear, When w e meet kind words and actions, And we feel they are sincere; When the smil'-s of friendship greet us, And we know they are true, What greater charm hath this fair world To odfer me or you ? With the beaming ;-ky above us, And the lov.-ly earth beneath. With the music of the ocean, And the hewYenacnel'd heath; With these beauteous scene of Nature, What more cheering would you ask Than the glance that speaks ahVction, From the heart without a mask ? For pure tiuth is such a jewel. Oh ! so precious and so rare, That it seems a spark fhsttl heaven, Beldam lent to moita! care; When are meet it in earth's friendship, Let as prist its holy might, For it senses unto our spirits. Like an angel aing'd with light. IDLENESS. The besetting sin of this country is idle ness. It is the root of all evil. Vice, crime and immorality, are the sure fruits of idle ness. The industrious man or woman has not time to concoct and earrv out schemes j of villainy and crime. They are alien to i the thoughts, and inclination, and pleasures ' of the industrious. As sure as the rising I sun gives light to the world, just as sure is idleness to bring in its train vice, crime and i inimoralitv. Why does the rambler resort to the games of chance ? IJecause he is idle. Why does the drunkard visit the grogshop? Ik-cause ho is idle. True it is, that an idle head is the devil's work shop. In passing through the country, we are often amazed at the idleness of the people. We sec great big children moping away their time in idleness, instead of being at school. The parents are not at work, if not at grog-shops. It would seem that the chi f object of life was to be idle as much as possible; that the great pleasure and charm of our existence was idleness ! We are taught, in Holy Writ, that man is to live by the sweat of his brow. Six day? are wo commanded to labor. This com mand is as imperative as it is to keep holj the seventh day. Of the two it is the more important to our existence on this earth, beyond all doubt; and we have much more confidence in the genuine goodness and piety of the man who labors all the week, than we have in him who simply observes the Sabbath day. Every one who has tried it must know how much of pain and uneasiness there are i;i mere idleness. Hence it is that the idle are driven, from idleness, to vice and crime for occupation. The drunkard resorts to the bottle, and the companionship of the vicious, to kill time. The rambler goes to j the card table und the wine glass for the same purpose. The idle boy seeks vice and crime in which to kill his idleness, it is with other idlers.

Wood Dear Sir : Unsolicited, I send you this fertifieate. Alter being nearly bald for a long time, and hav ing tried afl the hair restoratives extant, ai d hav ing no faith in any, 1 was ind iced, on hearing ot yours, to give it a trial. I placd myself in the hands of a bartier, and had my head tu.:b' d with a good stiff brush, and the restorative then applied, and well rubbed in, till the scalp was a glow. This 1 repeated every morning, and in three weeks the young I air appea.ed. and grew rapidly fiom August last till the present time, and is now thick, black, and stroiii' soft and pleasant to ihe touch; where as, before, it was harsh and wiry, what little there was of it, and that little was disappearing very rapidly. I still use your restorative about twice a we k, and shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair. Now, it I bad read of these things and who has not ? but have not seen hitherto any case where any person's hair was really benefited bv any of the hair tonics, etc.. of the day; and it really gives me pleasure to recoid the result of my exper ience. I have r?commend d your preparation to others, and it already has a large and general sale throughout the Temtoiy. The people here know i's effects, and have confidence in it. The supply you sent us, ns wholesale agents for the Territory, is neaily exhausted, ai d daily inmnries are made for it. You deserve credit tor vou: discovery ; and I, for one, return you my thanks for the benefit rt has done me, for I certainly had despaired long ago of evei effecting any such result.
