" Miasm."
Miasm and Malaria both mean a bad at
mosphere, but Miasm is applied to a par
ticular kind of air; it means literallv an
ii
'emanation," something rising up from the
S
round, and is believed by scientific men to
e the cause of almost every disease which
falls upon communities from Asiatic cholera
and yellow fever down to intermitteuts,
ague, and similar maladies.
Miasm arises from decaying leaves, wood, !
and other vegetable matter found in flat
lands. Moisture aud a heat over eighty de
crees Farenheit are essential to itsexistence.
i'he periods of its greatest malignity are the
hours including sunrise and sunset." A cool
air of sixty degrees and under causes it to
settle on the surface of the earth, so that it

whole blood, causing death within a week

fevers. On the other hand, heat an-
tagonizea it by rarifving the atmosphere j
and ending it upwards towards the sky, j
where it cannot be breathed. !
Musmaiw effects can always be prevented j
in two ways. Hence fever and ague, all
classes of intermitteuts aie preventable and

AGRICULTURAL.
Deep and Shallow Plowing.
A prominent and successful planter giv
res
his views on the important subject to South
ern Agriculturists. in the following language:
"I have paid a great deal of attention to
what is termed deep plowing, and I never
yet have seen any plowing that can average
over six inches deep, and that looked so
deep, to an experienced person, it could
easily be palmed of as eight or ten inches
deep. But after trying satisfactorily both
deep and shallow plowing, I have come to
the conclusion that plowing should be regu
lated to suit the land we were plowing. If
I went into a field with but four inches of
soil, I would turn over that land but three
or four inches, and subsoil in the furrow of
the turning' plow; that would be my system
for the first time I plowed such. And the
next year if there were stubles or weeds on
the land, I would turn under again, going
this time from four to six inches that is, 1
would never plow deeper than its soil the
first plowing with a turning plow ; but each
succeeding breaking up, I would gradually
go deeper, until 1 reached the depth of
seven or eight inches, which is the maxi
mum depth I have yet seen done by the
very best plows, plowmen aud team of two
and three horses; and if we have weeds,
stubble, clover or peas to turn under annual
ly when breaking up, soil can be made
deeper than when we first commenced.
My rule for plowing is, to be governed
entirely by the quality of the land lam go
ing to plow. If shallow soil, I plow shallow",
and subsoil; and put on the land such crops
as will make the most rubbish to turn under
and, in time, a field of shallow soil can be
deepened by judicious plowing and rotation.
1 would never turn up the clay to the
surface if it can be av oided ; and if a field
had so little soil I would break up such lands
entirely with subsoil plows then sow them
down with small gram, cut stubles ioug,
and then turn under as above described.
There is no impliment we use of so much
importance as the plow ; it is our first and
greatest implement, hence every farmer
should make the plow and plowing his study;
he ought so to understand it as to be en
abled to instruct or aid the manufacturer in
its construction telling him what he wants
and what is necessary to make a plow per
fect, liut as it is, there are so few farmeis
who understand the plow and plowing, Ave
have been dependent entirely upon the
manufacturer to stilt us in plows, in accor
dance with their own ideas of. what the
plow should be, and, right or wrong in con
struction, we find but lew who Know it.
The plow may break and turn well, and
the draft may be too heavy, or the
draft may be light, and the work imperfect
ly done ; also, the fault sometimes lies in
gearing in of the beam. Rut be the fault
where it is, the farmer should so unuerstand
the plow, plowing and gearing in of the
same.
as to detect the error and po.nt out
the reined v. If not, his plo wings are acci
dental, whether right or wrong.
In turning lands, it will be uoaced that
some plows turn the furrow siice liat over,
or lap on the principle of shingling. Where
the plow turns the lurrow over Hat, 1 perfer
such a pow for manurial puposs, tiiat is to
turn under clover, weeds, or stubles.
Rut in breaking the ground for cultivation,
and especially corn, give me the plow thai
lodges the furrow as, when the lurrows
are so lodged the ground remains longer
loosened aud broken as it is not so easily
run together and compress, d by rams as
when the turning over is flat.
To Destroy the Cotton Worm. Mr.
A. Bestwick, of Richmond, Texas, furnishes
to the Macon Telegraph the following rem
edy for destroying the cotton worm.
Gather the stramonia, or Jamestown weed,
while in full bloom, chop it up fine and fill a
vessel two-thirds full and boil it for an hour
or more. Add a small quantity of lime and
then sprinkle the cotton with the solution.
Mr. Bestwick states this application will
kill the worms and destroy the eggs, and so
poison the cotton plant that it will not be
again attacked. A party in Galveston has
invented a sprinkler which is easy of use,
and sprinkles five rows at a time, using the
solution economically. The plan is a simple
enough one, and will no doubt belullv

Gardening for Profit. A small gar
den spot made rich and well tilled will fur
nish three-fourths of the food for the family
for six months, and the most wholesome and
palatable food in all varieties at that. But
how many of our farmers, or planters rather,
"hav e no time" for such business, they being
always overrun with work in the cotton
field, and a few pole beans, and onions, and
long-legged collards are all their gardens
afford through the summer. These are the
same men who '"have no time" to save the
manure from their lots and cowpens, nor to
litter stables nor mend broken gates, and
"nor time" for anything but cotton, and gen
eral dilapidation and shiftlessness.
A Truthful Picture. The Fayclte

class of shiftless farmeis in that section,
whose counterpart exists in every county

aruas slow and lazy and blundering as ever.
They growl at everything, were""ruined"
by the war, have shabby victuals to eat and
odd-looking clothes to wear, and could do
many things if they had money, but see no
chance to ever do any thing as things are
now with labor deranged, and poverty,
ruin and weeds on every side. These same
individuals come to town often, go to meet

An Anecdote of Buchanan and Jackson.
From Col. Forney's Reminiscences of Public Men,
Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's return from
Russia in 1834, to which he had been sent
by President Jackson in 1832, and imnie
diately following his election to the Senate
of the United States by the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, to fill the unexpired term of
William Wilkins, resigned, who, in his turn,
was sent to succeed Buchanan in the same
foreign mission, Buchanan called upon Old
Hickory with a fair English lady, whom he
desired to present to the head of the Ameri
can nation. Leaving her in the reception
room down stairs, he ascended to the Presi
dent's private quarters, and found General
Jackson unshaved, unkept, in his dressing
gown, with his slippered feet on the fender
before a blazing wood fire, smoking a cor
cob pipe of the old Southern school. He
stated his object, when the General said he
would be very glad to meet the handsome
acquaintance of the new bachelor Senator.
Mr. Buchanan was always careful of his
personal appearance, and, in some respects,
was a sort of masculine Miss Fribble, ad
dicted to spotless cravats aud huge collars ;
rather proud of a small foot for a man of his
large stature, and to the last of his life what
the ladies would call "a very good figure."
Having just returned from a visit to the
fashionable continental circles, after two
years ot thorough intercourse with the
etiquette of one of the stateliest courts in
Europe, he was somewhat shocked at the
idea of the President meeting the eminent
English lady in such a guise, and ventured
to ask if he did not intend to change his at
tire, whereupon the old waniur rose, with
his long pipe in his hand, and deliberately
knocking the ashes out of the bowl, said to
his friend : "Buchanan, I want to give you
a little piece of advice, which I hope you
will remember. 1 knew a man once who
made his fortune by attending to his own
business. Tell the lady I will see her pres
ently." The man who became President in 185G
was fond of saying that this remark of An
drew Jackson humiliated him more than
anv rebuke he had ever received. He
walked down stairs to meet his fair charge,
and in a very short time President Jackson
entered the room, dressed in a full suit of
black, cleanly shaved, with his stubborn
white hair forced back from his remarkable
face, and advancing to the beautiful British
er saluted her with almost kingly grace.
As she left the White House she exclaimed
to her escort, "Your Republican President
is the royal model of a gentleman."
A Wonderful Invention. There is
no doubt that we are upon the. eve of a new
era in the manufacture of woolen fabrics,
when every family in the land can supply
itself by its own industry with w oolen cloths
of every description and of every degree of
fineness and elegance. The mechanism
which is to produce this change in the histo
ry of woolen manufactories is a marvellous
in v ein ion, which has already excited the
admiration oi capable judges of its n:e hs
in some of the leading manufacturing cen
ties of iew England, aud which iias been
on exhibition in Boston, it is an elegant
and simple -constructed machine. The space
occupied by it is tive feet eight inches by
five feet, lhat is the extreme length aud
breadth of the loom. It is very easily
managed, one girl tending four looms with
out the aid of section hands. The rapidity
with which it works is something miracul
ous, a single loom producing the enormous
quantity of 25u yards of cio.li in one day,
while the best ordinary loom produces only
25 yards.

Out of Debt, Out of Danger.
In one of the great speeches made V
John Kandolph, of Roanoke, in opposit
to the new constitution of 19 a
which the freehold qualification of suff
was abrogated, the condition of a Jf
who have suffered themselves to become
volved in the meshes of debt, is strikinc
depicted. In strong and vivid words ?h'
orator argued that the clamor for chan
was attributable to no inherent defect ia tP
old constitution, which the iu.,l
j j ' Vt TU
about to repudiate, but to the deenerap
of the people themselves who had fallen
to debt. T he following extract is especial
ly memorable:

the defect is not in the form of the old edi
fice; neither in the people of Virginia. To I
my knowledge that people have changed I
from what they have been. The four hun- 1
dred men who went out to David were in I
debt. The fellow-laboi
ers of Catiline were f
in debt. And I defy you to show me a desper- '
ately indebted people anywhere who tan I
bear a regular sober government. I throw '
the challenge to all who hear me. I 8av
that the character of the good old Virginia
planner, who lived by hard work and "paid "
his debts, is passed away. A new order of
things has come; a period has arrived of
living by one's wits of contracting debts
that one cannot pay ; and above all, of Hv-
ing by office-hunting." Debates of the Con
centin, pp. 790, 791.
