AGRICULTURAL LEGISLATION. ^Ve d eeni the present a most fortunate conjuncture in which to direct the attenlion of our readers to the subject of that improvement in the affairs of agricul ture which may be promoted by the action of the people in their organized capacity—by State Legis lation. The country -has passed through a fierce political conflict, during the rage of which no sub ject could en^ge attention but such as was inevi tably whirled into the political Maelstrom; but ba ring now, as we trust, laid down our partisan arms, it becomes us seriously to consider of and act upon those great measures of policy, relating to our per manent interest.! and happiness, which have been } too long neglectcd AVe can come to the labor now i with minds fitted for the accomplishment of our j great ends. No new and exciting contest is imme diately ahead of us to distract our sober thoughts and hurry us into strife and madness. We are all brethren hi interest and feeling, when we think of promoting agricultural improvement. On this sub ject, party cannot divide us. We are one—unal terably, inseparably one.

What then shall we do? What ought to be done? By what means, by what instrumentality shall we still further promote agricultural improve ment ? 7'hesc arc grave questions worthy of d*di- ! berate consideration. We liave repeatedly oflbred our individual views upon the necessity of legisla tive action in aid of the agricultural interests. The more v/e have reflected upon the subject, the more we have regarded the experience which every day brings forth, the more we have wayed the relations existing between the various classcs of interests and pursuits of the country, the more we have earnestly looked into the neccssary means of establishing and perpetuating tlie .solid prosperity of the people who rule this great republic; by so much the more are we confirmed in the faith that, so far as the distinc tive claims of agriculture are to be regarded, the legislation of the country must be efiectively and thoroughly reformed. We have not time or room here to go into elaborate reasoning on the subject; T/ie Oldest Republir n,i Earth.—Tho Ameri can Uuarterly Review contaiiL*? a letter from G. W. Trving.

The best manner of getting clear mange and lice, is to exclude your hogs from about your barn-yards and stables, and giving sulphur and anointing them with sulphur or inercu rial ointment.

And to assist and cheapen the feeding of May and Juno, we recommend the cultivation of the diflereni kinds of squashes, and also the sugar beet. They may eitlier be ted raw\ or boiled, which is prefera ble. Now, having brought your hogs to the 1st of July, tlie dilllculty i.s jiassed. If you can keep them in growing order until tin’s time, they w’ill fatten to the end of the year, provided you sow as much small grain as every planter in this country should do; that i.s, at least one third of the land which he has in cultivation, leaving the otijcr twu) tliirds for corn and cotton. This amount of stubble land, by the grain and grazing which it affords, will keep your hogs growing and thriving, imtil the pea fields can be opened, from Avluch time until Christmas, the y can be kept fat on a succes.^ion of-fpea fields. Wc are aware that there is a prejudice v/ith some, against feeding stock hogs on peas, but we are convinced from tixperienco, that it is entirely untbunded, and that with plenty of salt, and plenty of water, there is nothing better or cheaper for feeding hogs, and we earnestly recommend to every planter, to plant at least a hill of peas for every one which he plants of corn; they will not only keep his stock hogs in good order, for near three months, bat will almost entire ly supercede the use of corn, in fattening his pork. Let us now’ compare the cost 01’poric, raised upon the plan which wc have proposed, with the price W’hich wc are compelled to pay to the Kentuckians, and we think it will not appear str.ange that those planters who raise their own supplies of pork, are more, prosperous, and get rich faster than those who buy it. We have proposed that the hogs sliould be fed on corn or its equivalent in value, for the first four months of the year, and that some corn should be given for the next two months j but allowing for bad management, we will suppose that they arc fed on corn for the first six months. AA'e have found, on trial, tliat two bushels of corn in the car per diem, will be sufficient to keep a stock of 100 hogs in grow ing condition, for the first six months in the year, (together with the adjuncts betore mentioned,) which is the only portion of the year in which the e.xpcnses of feeding are felt; the two bushels of corn in the ear, will be equal to one when shelled, and allowing 100 ears to the bushel, which is nearly correct, it would be giving one ear per deim to each hog, it would thus require 3G5 ears, or little more than three and a half bushels to bring the hog to two years old, which wc think, is the proper age for fattening, be cause then they fatten kinder than when younger, and beyond that age, they do not improve sulHcient- ly in weight to warrant the expense of keeping. In addition to which, we tliink that after a good run on a pea field, one and a half bushels of corn will be sufficient to complete the process of fattening. A part of this committee have Ibund, that with the managenifjut herein recommended, a hog of the right stock, may be made to w^eigh at two years old, 200 lbs. neat. The stock alluded to, is a cross of the Cobbet and Calcutta, though we have no doubt but that any of the crosses betbre mentioned would do REPORT ON HOGS, Read before the Agrioulfural Socioty ol Newbcrryi S. C., by Dr. J. N. Hehni>oVj on the 2Gfh July, 1841. In pursuance of the direction of this Society, we beg leave to present some few facts and observa tions, on the subject of raising Hogs; and in doing so, we are not so much influenced by the hope of enhghtening this Society, as by a belief that it is the duty of every member of it, to contribute what ever he is able, no matter how small, to the advance ment of the objects for which it was created, as well as the importance which we attach to the subject which lias been assigned us. And we feel certain, that none will suppose wc have magnified its impor tance, wdien he reflects on the large amount of near ly one million of dollars, which we pay to the Wes tern States for the single article of Pork, according to the accounts kept ^he Mountain toll-gates, a few years since, exclusi^t^’ l .Tge quantities of Bacon imported to C^harleston, via. New Orleans, and from the Northern States. It appears to us .a strange in fatuation, that could induce a Slate or people, to make themselves dependant on other countries for one of the necessaries of life, when they possess all the facilities for procuring it, at a much cheaper rate. Though we feel satisfied that it would be a waste of time and argument, at this late day, to attempt to com’ince any member of this Society of a fact, which experience has already taught him, that it would contribute greatly to the interest and independence of the people of this State, to produce their own sup. plies of meat, instead of buying it abroad, and from countries which do not reciprocate the advantages of the trade, by receiving in exchange some of the products of our country. To the attainment, therefore, of so desirable an end, we shall briefly recommend the plan which we consider best calculated lor that purpose. One of the first and most important considerations^ should be, to select a breed suitable to our purpose. According to our present plan of economy and man agement, we require a variety which arc disposed to grow large, and which ■will attain a tolerable size, even with the scanty allow’ance which our hogs are accustomed to receive; and not such as require the liberal treatment, and high feeding, which grain countries are able to aflord, which could not be al- low^ed them in a cotton growing country, without en hancing their cost to more than their value. Wc arc of opinion, the desired breed may be produced^ either by crossing our common slock with the large class of improved hogs, which have been introduced, or by crossing the large class, with some of a small class which have been introduced. The large class alluded to, includes the Woluin, the Calcutta, and the Bifield, all partaking of the same general charac teristics. That is, they are all large, coarse, ugly, | flopeared, and of lazy, indolent habits. The small j well; so that 200 lbs. neat pork, instead of cos t- class, before mentioned, comprises the popular Berk-1 j^g ^12 to be paid in cash to the Kentuckians, costs ITEMS IN DOMESTIC AND RURAL ECO NOMY. To prevent horses, which are disposed to break their bridles, from doing so, place a pad within tho strap that passes back of the head, the inside of which is lined with cotton or linen, and in which the points of three or four sharp nails, pointing inu’nrds, are concealed. When the horse draws hard upon his bridle, these prick him,vand cause him to desists Stoves for heating rooms, will throw ot;t much more heat for the amount of fuel consumed, if^ aa soon as the wood gets well burning, the draught belov) and above the fire, is closed. Far less heat is swept by the draft up chiqnney/ On tliis princi ple, the blacksmith increases,^e heat of his forge, by sprinkling water upon tlie ignited coals, and pre venting the flame from rushing'out; and also, green wood on a common fire of^;cn prevents, the rapid es cape of heat up the chimrtey, for a similar reason. All stov(^ should therefore be provided vith a valve above ait well as below thejird. Cracks in stoves and stove pipes are readily closed by a paste made of ashes and salt with water. Iron turnings or filings, sal amoniac, and water, make a harder and more durable cement. An excellent cement for broken glass, is made by grinding together linseed oil and white lead, to the consistency of a paste. Nails are prevented from rusting by heating them, and dropping them while hot in oil. ^ Gates work much better for having the hinges and latches greased. To keep them so, bore a hole, and plug up a quantity of grease in the gate post, where it may always be at hand when wanted. Ice, on door steps, may be easily removed by throwing salt upon it, which will cause tlie ice to crack to pieces. Cattle should be duly supplied with salt during winter, which is of\en forgotten. Hay and oats may be economized by feeding cattle with ruta bagas, which they soonloarn to eat. An excellent and cheap paint for rough wood w'ork, is made of«6 pounds of melted pitch, 1 pint linseed oil, and 1 pound of brick dust, or yellow ochre. Cream, which churns with difficulty in winter, if loo sour will speedily produce butter by the addition of saleratus. If too cold, hot water may be applied, but it is better to warm the cream and keep it so. If the thermometer shows 70 ° of Fah. it will soon come. When minute granules of butter appear and it does not gather readily, throw in a piece of but ter, and it will “ lump ’* together in a tricc. Stumps in fields arc made to rot, by placing earth upon them. Saving of Seeds.—As far as possible, every farmer should save his own seeds. If he is careful and se lects none but the best, if he gathers them at the pro per time, he is more sure of their kind and quality than if he purchases, or, as is too frequently the case, begs them, and is, of course, less liable to failures and disappointme it in hia crops. There arc many small seeds, such as are wanted for the garden, herbs, roots, vegetables, flowers, &c., which should be saved as they ripen, and are nearly always wan ted and welcome when the seasons come round.— No vegetable or plant should be selected, or planted out for seed, that is not of the best quality, as it costs no more to raise seed from a good plant than an in ferior one.—Cultivator. shire, the Cobbet, and the once admired, but now abandoned Guinea ; this class, especially the Berk- | shire and the Cobbet, are remakable for beauty and symmetry of form, having great length and thick ness, with small head and standing ears, and small and well turned legs, not so short as to render loco motion difficult. With those materials, we think it would not be difiicult to produce hogs of any tbrin, size, or habits, we may desire. Having procured a suitable breed, the next object will be, to produce and keep up a suflicient number for our purpose. To this end, six or eight good breed ing sows will be sufficient for a stock of 100 hogs. They should be kept separate from the other hogs, particularly about Arrowing time, and not too many of them together, for fear of over-laying or smother ing the pigs; and care should be taken to exclude them from lying under houses or shelves, where there is dust, which being inhaled by the young pigs, is very destructive of them, produc ing irritation and inflamation of the lungs. Now, having a sufficient number of hogs, of the right stock, the next object will be, to raise them in such a mannner as to make them cost us less than to buy them. The plan which a part of your Com mittee have pursued, and wliich wc beg leave to re commend, though far from perfect, we believe will fully,accomplish that purpose. It is as follow's: com mencing at the first of the year, we are under the necfessity of feeding our hogs, through January and February, either on raw corn, or on boiled corn Inoculation.—Cherries, plums and pearfe may be inoculated or budded with success in thin month, unr les.^, as in some instances may be the case, the trees arc too far advanced. This may easily be ascertain ed by examination, and it must be remembered, that the later in the season this operation is performed, if the bark will but peel, the more certain will be the growth of the inserted bud. Inoculation is one of the easiest and best methods of improving fruits, par ticularly some that will not readily bear grafting, I and should be practiced by every farmer and or- chardist whose fruit is not the best variety.—Ib. you five bushels of corn, and the run ot your stubble tlelds. which would be lost, if you had no hogs ; and the run of your pea fields, which only cost you the trouble of planting; for they require no gathering, are of very liultt mjiiry fo yotir corn crop, and of | Pieces.—The abominable fraud of great service to your laud. But to ensure success I 10cent pieces for twelve and a half cents, in raising hog.«, it will be necessary that their health should be attended to. The diseases to which thev are mtFSt hable, arc-innauimation df the lungs and throat, poisoning by mu^hrooms^ kidney worms, and mange 'and lice,, The first is generally produced by lying in dusty situiitions, though very often it ex- has become such a nuisance in our community as to demand an immediate reform. For several years back, thousands of dollars have been brought out annually for the purpose of swindling our citi zens out of 25 per cent, in making change, over ists as -au epidemic, .adecting the hogs of a whole j and abov'e the profiit made upon the goods sold to neighborhood at once. The syntptoius are wheez-j them. The consequence has been, that tho3S^*n- ing, and a drooping sluggish appearance. We con- J (erested have withdrawn fromeirculation nearly, all aider tar given in the feed or by Jrewiiing, as the | q^^jter*. sevenpences, foarpences, and -r. forms almost our entire circulation. AVe know of.no remedy for# this evil but that of purchasers of goods refusing to receive them for more than their value, or ceasing to deal stimulating action on the exhalente, of the-parts af- { fected. Tiie poisono,us efi'ects of mushropns arig much more easily prevented thaji cured, for which purpose they should be either kept up. during, the wet seasons, whleli proniote the ^l^wth of mush rooms, or salt' and ta^ should be given frequently at those tinies, with tlie vie’^ of invigorating and guard ing the etomach agtSftst the pcfnicipus, influence of the mushrQoms j -and salt bI^ouW be given at ^jast once a week through tho,. whole year,-for the p^ir^ pose of promoting the general health of yoisr'hogs.
