The amount of strength attained by the structure is spoken of as being wonderful. The inventor feels confident that no weight which could be placed upon it, could break it down. This consideration, taken together with the economy with which it may be built, will render it worthy the attention of all who are interested in the subject. This bridge is adapted peculiarly to Rail roads as well as county roads, as it can bo made of any re quired span, so as not to obstruct the navigation of streams when rafts or boats might be desired to pass, and can also be built at a very moderate expense.

From the Southern Cultivator. The Science ef Ploughing. Messrs. Editors At your very polite request, 1 have undertaken to give a few hints upon Southern Husbandry, and for present illustration, have chosen the following topic : Ploughing, in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, embraces the various methods of ameliorating the soil by means of machinery propelled generally by animal power, and upon the perfectibility of that ame lioration produced only by the combined efficiency of the machinery and skill of the operative, depends the most material and essential principles of farming. Ploughing being the first operation towards preparing cultivated land for a crop, a defect in this department cannot possibly be compensated for in after cultiva tion. It is true that, in a new country, blessed with a pure virgin soil and congenial clime, very fair crops may be produced with comparatively little labor or plough ing. But, I ask to know, can this be considered skill? Can this be called farming? It is well known that in new countries agricultural machinery is necessarily rude and inefficient, not only on account of the re moteness of manufactures, the great expense of trans portation, by private conveyance, and incompetency of settlers generally ; but from the fact that the more improved and complicated implements ai d machines are not well adapted to the cultivation of new lands, with all or many of their natural incirtnbrances. We must not therefore expect extensive imptovements on the present system of cultivating new or fresh lands with the plough, until we become possessed of porta ble and cheap machinery for the extraction and remo val of stumps, rocks, &c. But these facts which we have admitted cannot be taken as an excuse for bad farming, or more properly "no farming at all." We have now in almost any portion of Georgia sufficient quantities of old cleaied land on which to commence an improved system of cultivation, thereby improving our lands, and at the same time deriving an increased product from the expenditure of our substance. Perhaps some may remark: " We are notable," or, " We have not time to introduce this new system of cultivation. We do not know how to manage this new style of Book Farming." Another may say : "I don't believe 'twill do; 'twill ruin our lands;" and a thousand other pleas have I heard voluntarily put up against an improved system of husbandry, of which ploughing constitutes the base. I have practically demonstrated all these assertions to be unfounded and untrue, on these very southern lands ; and, of course, under the influence of this verv scorching southern sun ; and have never yet " killed ' an inch of land during my agricultural career ; but, on the contrary, have reclaimed " Indian old fields'' that were so poor as to be able to yield nothing but sassa fras, and rendered them more valuable than the best new lands. All this has been done by deep and thor ough tillage turning under such material of fertility as are generally allowed to be washed away by the branches, accompanied by the most va'uable portions, of the natural soil. All the various reasons and excuses so often urged against improved farming are based upon ignorance, indolence, prejudice and parsimonionsness. There never yet was, in my humble opinion, a man able to give a reason ior a bad system of farm management satisfactory to any one but himself. Theory would say that, at the South where nearly all the land is kept in constant cultivation, an improv ed system of ploughing would be found to predomi nate over ihe north, where from one-half to two-thirds of each farmer's possessions are kept in grass for pas tures or meadow. Bnl such is not the case. The fact seems incontrovertible that when the least proportion of land is cultivated, farming attains its greatest per fection. What conclusion then are we to deduce from these facts ? They seem to be these : Our crops are not sufficiently diversified. We cultivate too much land and do not make use of the best implements and machines for performing that operation. The present system of southern ploughing is so well understood that I shall not advert to it, only for the purpose of comparison. I would spend my time and paper in striving to point out a more efficient method, and whether or not I succeed in so doing, I leave for the public to determine. The southern custom would be, with a force of twenty hands and as many horses or mules, to start each hand with a simple animal and plough, scratch ing the surface of the earth indiscriminately from two to four niches deep ; a tiansverse section of the fur row representing a triangle with its vertex turned downward. Hence, it will be perceived should a far mer succeed (which he rarely will do) in getting the entire surface broken up, the furrows being four inch es in depth, on an average, it will be perfectly obvi ous to any man of reason, that the mean depth of bro ken or pulverized soil will amount to only two inches. But even this meagre cultivation if attained with per fect equality throughout, would, in many respects, surpass, in point of utility, the common bull tongue system. It would give the roots of plants an equal chance of supplying themselves with nutritition from the soil, by affording an even depth of pulverized earth for their luxuriance, and theeby effect one object to ward securing an eveness of crop, if in small grain, which is a point of the greatest importance. The small furrows formed by the pointof the gopher or bull-tongue plough, offer the greatest inducements to washing by rain. It will be noticed that all lands of considerable inclination have nearly every year, and sometimes oftener, the greater portion of their soil swept off by floods of rain water, which invariably commence (when the inclination will admit) in gutters formed in the hard subsoil by the point of the plough. I hsve even seen recently ploughed land after a vio lent rain so entirely bereft of all broken or pulverized earth that the direction of every furrow might be traced on the subsoil. Nor is this all. 0;i comparitively level lands, when the inclination is not great enough to carry off the surplus water, (which when the plocgh ing is so shallow, must be considerable during the in tense rains.) the injury from the removal of this sur plus moisture by evaporation, when the subsoil is, s s in many sections of country, nearly impervious to wa ter, can hardly be estimated. During jirotractpd drouths, also, this surplus moisture not having feen permitted to descend to a greater depth than that reach ed by the shallow ploughing; (and, as we have al ready seen, it must have been removed almost entire ly by evaporation,) the consequent depression of tem perature which invariably accompanies this proCefs, has thus far materially affected the growth of vegeta tion. And no? that the excess of moisture has been nearly all removed, and the soil has become, to a cer tain extent, warmed by the influence of the sun's rays, the sickly plant (for they always appear sickly on wet unploughed land) appears invigorated and shows faint, promitory symptoms of giowth. " Well pays the shallow cultivator, " I shall yet make a crop." The drought continues; in let than a week the soil is too dry; the moisture has all been dissipated by the al most vertical rays of the sun, which now strike di rectly through this lean strata of half pulverized earth, at once threatening the vitality of the tender roots which had been prevented from descending so deep as to avoid this occurrence by the rontiguousness of the underlaying and impenetrable subsoil. It will at once appear obvious, from the fnregoing remarks, that one great cause of the failure of crops is that plants are injur eJ from excess 01 moisture and depression of tern perature at certain periods, atid at others score bi freer!

A wise and improved system of managing labor, would dictate that the twenty horses taken in the oth er case, for illuftration, should be coupled and attach- -ed to half the number of ploughs, and consequently re quire only ten hands for their management. Thus, in the first place, i: will appear that just hklf the expense of manual labor will be saved; and in the next place,' the double-team, with a turning plough cutting fiom ten to thiiteen inches in width in stubble ground, and from twelve to fifteen inches wide In greensward, witU one hand, will break up a greater area in a given lime than two hands with single ploughs, provided the lat ter shall plough " close enough " to disturb the whole surface. The mean depth of the funowa of .the first class turning ploughs, in fair' hands, may be taken at six inches, although I always exceed seven; there fore, it will be perceived that with half the number of hands using improved implements, and allowing the same area to the horse, just twice as much earth will have been cleanly and systematically broken as in the use of the common one-horse bu i-tongue. ' For sake of illustration, we will reduce the two sys tems to figures. Allow the labor of a negro and hor.-e to be worth one dollar per day, and we have, upon the southern plan for our supposed number of ploughs and horses at one dollar per day for one week, one hundred and twenty dollars, or equal to one dollar per acre for breaking land to the mean depth of three inch es Now, if it be worth one dollar pr acre to break land three inches deep, it is certainly worth twice as much, or two dollars per acre, lo break it six inches deep, our calculation then would stand thus : Under the old System. 20 horses and hands, one week, ploughing three inch es deep, at$l per acre $120 00 Under the trnprovtd System. 20 horses and ten hands, oue week, ploughing six inch es deep, a t $2 per acre $240 00 Labor of ten hands saved at 50 cts. per day 30 Ot) $270 00 Deduct value of week's ploughing under old system. $120 00 Balance in favor of improvement .$150 00 Nor is this all. In adopting the improved style of ploughing, we not only derive the advantage of a deep soil for the luxuriance of the roots of plants growing thereon, below the action of frost in winter and the injurious effects of the sun in summer; but its value as agreat storehouse for the absorption and retention of rain water in times of excess, preventing washing to a certain extent, retaining the moisture below the influ ence of evaporation, to be carried up by cappillary at traction in times of drouth, with the various nutiient principles which it holds in solution to be gathered up by the spongoles and assimilated by plants, thus in creasing directly their vigor and growth at the time when shallow ploughed lands, as previously explained, have lost all iheir moisture by evaporation, and the plants growing upon them are entirely unable to de rive from the soil that sustenance so essential to vitali ty. ' Where the common southern process of ploughing is practiced, the refuse of crops and other vegetable matter, such as stubbles, corn stalks, pea-vines, crab and other grasses, manure from the farm yard, cow pens, &c , is scattered about on the surface, or per haps, as often occurs, the grass and corn Malks are hauled by the ploughs into piles fo that nothing at all will grow under them, and to say nothing of the loss of this great amount of vegetable matter, the inconve nience of it is so great that many occupants of land (I would not call them farmers,) collect it into large heaps and burn it, thereby destroying entirely the veg etable portion anJ leaving the mineral or incombusti ble ingredientsf the mass wherever a bunch of this "troublesome refuse" might happen to have been gathered. And after all this, I remajk: ("Oi r lands of late seem to gather so bad we can't work them. We must have fresh land if we are compelled to go to Oregon for it." On the other hand, the improved farmer starts his ten double ploughs, with his ten spare hands before them, with hoes ground sharp, or knives fothe pur- ftose, cut ing corn stalks into pieces about one foot in ength, and if any accumulation of rough vegetable matter should not be turned under, one of the ppare hands at once strews it in the furrow lo be covered by the next round. Thus every portion of the woik i carried on with the most perfect system, ease and sat isfaction, not only to the master hut to the hands and teams, which is an object of the highest confederation.
