THE BENE PLANT. . ,
We make the following extract of a letter
Irom a ciirrepontent ol the Patent Office,
dHteil Monroe, Waaliit Parish, Im'miang,
which is held in the publication in the fot tii
enmin" Dgricultural report. It treats of the
" bene" pttnf, from which oil of pure qM
itty is pniiluced in great abundance!
In 1843 I tent sixteen bushels of seeds nf
the bene plant (itsamum orientate) to a mill
in Cincinnati to be manufactured into oil.
It yielded thirty-nine gallons of clear oil, and
about five quarts of rel'ue oil, or about two
and a half gallons tti the bushel. .
In consequence of the mill imparting the
flavor of flax-af eil, I could not use it. as a fa
lad oil, for which purpote I am confident it
would be superior, when pure, to the adulte
rated impni ted olive oil. I used it, however,
as a substitute for castor oil, and gave a con
siderable quantity of it a war for that purpose.
wnu uku ii piaiM-u it ntgiiiy, uotn lor its

Oil.
I cannot slate villi certainty how ntacli
seed this plant w ill produce to the acre, but
believe that twenty buahcla is a moderate
estimate. ,
'I he leaf of the plant is an excellent rente
dy for bowel complaints in children, and alo
in adults. For this purpose, two or three
leaves are put in tumbler of water, which
they immediately render mucilaginous, but
impart no disagreeable laMe. The negroes
cultivate it for food, using the parched seed
with their meat.
I consider it so useful that a few stalks at
least should be raised in every sarden. And
seed.
I doubt whether it will mature well north
of latitude 56 degrees. It should be planted j
a soon as the frost is out of the griming
j P.Mir land is best suited to its production, as
. it bianchrfcioomuilt in rich soil, and becacee
ihe noils are more likely to shatter from the
branches than fiom a single unrif-ht slein.i
! The set
feds should be planted in dulls three
feet apart, ami six inches distant along the
drills.
From the Southern Planter.
SHEEP.

raising and wool growing, having all of the

negro man who attended t them, " master,
these 1 1 rove sneen nave ine uisientper, or
some other ailment." At length I found the
ailment was from loss uf tertli by old age.
I thenceforward ordered him at shearing to
put a death-mark with tar upon every sheep
which had bad teeth. The followinz fall 1

There is a popular error extensively pre
valent, that to stall beef ur mutton, you must
tint them in water. This is against nature
and against reason. Let them have free ac
res Io water, and they w ill very urely drink j
enough to hurt them.
It is hard to lurego the pleasure of eating
fat lamb and err en teas in their season. But
the true policy of those who go fur the fleece j
and meat, is to spare the young and slaugh
ter the old. In my opinion, uo provident
sheep and woo! grower will slaughter an ewe
lamb ; and even the young rams ought to be
rastraird and spared, until they become full
grown wethers.
There is a loutish popular prejudice against
bull-beef and ram-mutton. Any man, yea,
even the most fastidious lady, who lutes good
beer and mutton, can easily be cured ui tins
prejudice. It the animal be castrated be

evidently hare the advuiinigp ol ilinse who de

Cotton M amifacti'iik in thk Soctii. An
able writer, in a northern periodical, has ta
ken up this subject, and shows very conclu
sively that the Southern States ought to be
come the manufacturers, as well as the pro
ducers, of cotton lor the world. From lads
fut nislteil by this writer, it appears that the
cotton manufacture makes up nearly one halt
of the external trade of the British Kingdom.
The United States furnish four-fifths of the
six hundred millions of pounds imported into
Great Britain. The writer proves, by statis
tics and figures, that the British manufactu
rer receives five times as much for convert
ing the cotton into cloth, as the farmer fur
producing the raw material, and both employ
the same amount of capital. It appears that
the same disproportion exists between the
profits of the Southern planter and the north
ern manufacturer. The writer then sets forth
the ei cat advantage possessed bv the South
ern planter for manufacturing, and shows that
tne mere saving in toe iranspounuoii vuuiu
go largely to the payment of the manufacture.
He urges that instead of increasing the pro
duct, already too great, the true Southern
policy is to enter largely into the manufac
ture, and thus withdraw a portion of the la
bor engaged in the production, and employ
it in the inure profitable mode of manufac
tures. For the llilUbornugh Recorder.
SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

have I it tie time fur reading during the six
days of labor; and the brief intervals at

seasons when the body is so fatigued, and the
spirits so spent as to be intellectually value

meanwhile, taking no note ol them ; but a
mighty work is silently going on. The fal
low ground of millions of minds is brought
under spiritual culture. The virgin soil of
young hearts is turned up, and exposed tn
the warm breath of instruction. Ihe indi
genous seeds of evil arc carefully sought anil

" What rich fruit has this institution al
ready yielded ! The Sabbath School is a nur
sery of national righteousness. It has sup--plied
men of integrity for responsible station
in society. It has supplied the pulpit with
not a few of its brightest ornaments, and given.
the first impulse to many of the most dis
tinguished missionaries of modern times.
Who can compute the number of dormant;
minds it has quickened into activity tha
fine intelligences it has opened and expanded,
the virtues it has supported ami invigorated,
and the vices it has withered and destroyed ?
" It is, moreover, the peculiar excellence
of this educational system, that it not only
develops intellect, but it develops it in the
right manner. It does this, not by artihcial
stimulants, forcing a precocious and sickly
growth, but by simply aiding the healthy ac
tion of nature. For it is not the abstract
acutcness and capacity of any mind, but the
proper application of its powers, that should
be a matter of solicitude. A splendid intel
lect prostituted to the advocacy of error ts a
fearful curse, while humble talents plighted
to truth, and wisely directed, may prove a'
enduring blessing,
" Had the Sabbath no benefit to boast save
that of educating the incipient mind ol th
working classes, this alone would entitle it
to high regard and commendation. If the
wild undergrowth of youthful mind be nut
carefully watched and trained in its earlier
stages of develpinent, subsequent efforts to
improve it, where it has attained a dwarfish,
misshapen and stubborn maturity, will be un
availing. For other teachers are in the field.
Life opens its beguiling scenes. Harlotry
