MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA LANDS.
MESSRS. EDITORS —The extinction of slave
ry in Maryland and Virginia naturally awa
kens much interest in the agricultural re- j
sources and advantages o£ those States,
which I have been requested to describe. j
Taking the District of Columbia as the cli
mate average of the two States, my expe-j
rieuce is that a man working four days in a
week, may produce as much food and other i
necessaries of life in a year, as lie can in i
Central New-York by working six days in
a week. This problem is based on natural
agricultural forces, which are as reliable as
night and day, summer and winter. No S
man has to my knowledge better demonstra
ted the agricultural forces of Central New-
York than Mr. John G. Webb, in the last
Country Gentleman, by telling how he had
raised about ninety tons of what he had
better consider coin hay than corn "fodder,"
on ten acres. (Fodder is peculiar to plants
grown for their seeds of grain. It is like \
over-matured timothy or straw ; and infe-.
rior on that account. In good corn hay,all i
the nutritive elements are in the cells of the j
plant for forage ; which can never be in !
corn " blades" of the South, nor in corn tops,
or '' fodder" of the North.)
Mr Webb says that the 10th of June is
the best time to sow or plant corn for for
age in that climate. Twenty days later
will do here, and after a crop of rye has
been harvested, which was sown after corn
was cut in autumn. All must see that this
crop of rye expresses an agricultural force
that does not equally exist yi Oneida Co.,
N. Y. Here, market gardeners set out
acres of cabbage plants in the (fall to get
their growth in the winter months—when I
have seen snow deep enough in drifts to
drive an ox-sled over high fences in Oneida
and Herkimer counties—and the same late
in March. It is neither an error nor a mere
pretense that claims fifty per cent, advan
tage in the Southern States of Maryland
and Virgini v, over that of New York.
Soil-force is aver3 r different matter. I
wish I could make it as plain a question as
that of climate. Virginia and Maryland
are distinguished for the increditable tide
water shores which they possess—incredita
ble for length, depth of marl, sea-weed, and
other fertilizing substances. It is now fif
teen years since the late Washington Park
Custis told me of raising ten thousand bush
els of wheat a year on one of his marl plan
ations iu lower Virginia ; and I have spent,
time and money in visiting large districts,
but recently elevated above the brine of the
ocean. This land, being quite near the cap
ital of the nation—near the industrious and
enterprising people of the free States—
must soon be settled and cultivated by a
dense population. A small steamer of one
or two hundred tons may start from Wash
ington, hug the Virginia shore, go up seve
ral of its rivers like the York, James and
Rappahannock, visit the Capes, Philadel
phia, Baltimore, go up the Patuxent to
within fifteen miles of the Navy Yard in
Washington ; return, enter other inlets,and
at last tie up to the Federal metropolis
—having seen over twenty-five hundred
miles of bay shore. It is a misnomer to
call the water that lies between New-York
island and Long Island a " river ;" so it is
a misnomer to call the deep and broad wat
ter from Alexandra to the sea by any name
than bay. The Potomac river falls into the
Chesapeake at Georgetown ; and all below
is a part of the bay. This noble river cre
ates a water power in the District of ines
timable value. Both coal and iron float
down the gentle current of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal to Washington cheaper
than either can be transported to Philadel
phia by railway. In a word the same caus
es that have made Philadelphia a great
manufacturing city will do as much for the
District of Columbia. While the Hudson is
locked in ice above the Highlands, all for
eign goods may penetrate the continent
several hundred miles without breaking
bulk, to the capital of the great Republic
Its population is estimated by the Census
Office at seventy-seven million in twenty
five years from this time,and at one hundred
million in thirty-five years. While capital
and inhabitants here and in Europe increase
rapidly, land does not increase ; and there
fore the latter unavoidably grows rapidly
in the amount of gold that an aere will
command. A farm near enough to Wash
ington for the owner to hear all its church
bells in his house, that can now be bought
for §IOO per acre, will soon be worth ten
times that sum for suburban residences.—
.\ dense population makes even poor soils
valuable. Now farmers and gardeners here
are selling onions at five or six dollars a
bushel ; and they sell more turnips at more
than a dollar a bushel than under that price.
It is not so much the cost of land and man
ure,as that of hauling manure and paying la
borers. Manure is taken in vessels to the
eastern shore of Maryland and close to
Philadelphia. This cheap transportation of
manure, wood, hay, straw, potatoes, cattle,
A\, is a great advantage to Maryland and
Virginia. These tide-waters so rich iu fish
and oysters, have no freshets to destroy,
like the Susquehanna and other rivers, and
never fail from drouth. In districts where
the soil is rich, the water is impregnated
with lime and magnesia salts, and billious
fevers are not uncommon ; but where the
soil is poor, the water is generally soft and
pure, and the country very healthy. In
many parts of the South, planters live in
the poor pinev woods and cultivate distant
swamps which are very productive Con
centrated fertilizers are doing wonders on
poor, dry, sandy lands. For twenty-five
years the writer has been calling attention
to the fact that 9st parts in 100 of cotton
are nothing but the elements of water and
carbon, or air. N inety-soven per cent of
corn is made up of the same-worthless in
gredients. Atmospheric air, moisture, so
lar light and heat, and a little concentrated
manure attain the most satisfactory re
sults. Maryland and Virginia have used
more guanos and other commercial man
ures than any other States. It lias ap
peared to the writer that more attention
should be paid to perennial grasses and
clover, to draw mineral food from the deep
subsoil to enrich the surface soil, at the
minimum cost ; while cattle, horses, sheep,
and wool sold, will give a fair income with
little plowing and less planting. Farmers
and planters who have lost their servants
may see the necessity of making land pay
with less labor, in pasture and meadow,
than is required in raising tobacco, grain
and cotton for Market. D. LEE.
District of Columbia.
GROWING OATS.
MESSRS. EDITORS -The oat crop is getting
to be of very considerable importance, and
the vast consumption in the army, and con
sequent high prices, will be very likely to
induce farmers to sow all they can this
spring But aside front this demand, the
ease aid facility with which oats may be
grown on all kinds of soils, and under all
circumstances, and the fact that there is
no other grain that is so handy, or in such
universal demand for feeding horses, must j
continue make raising oats an important i
part of farming.
But the ease with which oats may be
grown often leads to sowing them where
justice is neither done to the crop nor the
land. There are several ways in which
this is often done. One is sometimes
practiced on some of the best farms, where
wheat is made the leading crop, and is
partly owing to the opinion that oats are a
very exhausting crop, and consequently
injurious to land that is principally intend
ed for wheat. In such cases oats are only
sown on some of the poorest, out-of-the
way portions of the farm, and where, from
the limited amount of laud devoted to the
crop, they are sown very frequently, and
often several years in succession, on the
same field. This, of course, will not give
very good crops, and often they will be
quite poor, while at the same time the ef
fect on rather poor land without manure,
or frequent seeding down, as is generally
the case, of course cannot be favorable
It is also a very bad practice to sow oats
year after year on the same field, until the i
iand is so badly run down as to hardly give
half a crop. Of course this practice is in
jurious to the land ; and so it would be to
grow wheat or barley in the same way.—
In fact there can be little doubt that either ]
of these crops grown the same length of
time on one field, would injure the land !
more than oats, while undoubtedly they
would fail to yield paying crops much
sooner than oats.
But while growing oats year after year
on the same field is a very bad practice, it
by no means follows that they cannot be
grown to good advantage in a rotatiofl
where corn and clover occupy a prominent
place, and where they are not sown oftener
than once in from four to six years. In
such a rotation oatß should always be sown
after corn, or some other hoed crop, when,
! if the land is in anything like good condi
tion, they are sure to give a heavy crop.—
In this waj', in common seasons, my usual
average is over 50 bushels to the acre ; and
| instead of oats grown in this way injuring
j the land, it is constantly improving and
; the crop increasing. And this is the case,
although I have never applied any manure
; directly to the crop ; though when the pre
vious crop of corn is manured, of course
the succeeding crop of oats is benefitted
by it. I also find that oats is the most pro
fitable sown crop I can raise after hoed
crops ; and I always want to sow such
land, so it may be seeded to clover. And
i then oats do better when sown after a well
tended hoed crop, having a blighter, strong
er straw, which makes them much less lia
i ble to lodge, or get down so as to injure
the crop. They are also less liable to rust,
though if sown very late, they are some
! times injured. Like all other crops, they
1 are the surest and best when sown in good
; season.
But oats are much more apt to rust when
sown on an old sod. On such a sod, coin
posed, as is usually the case, of a mixture
i of timothy, June and wire grasses, oats
i make a slow and feeble growth in the fore
part of the season ; but in the summer,
when the sod begins to rot, and the roots
of the oats begin to take hold of it, the
| ciop comes forward much faster, but makes
i a kind of a squashy growth of very soft,
limber straw, that get down easily, and is
j very liable to rust. Hence a good crop of
! oats is scarcely ever raised on such a sod
in this section. A good clover sod will do
much better, but is usually wanted for
! wheat or corn, and undoubtedly is more
■ profitable for these crops.
Alter various trials in growing different
! crops after oats, I have become well satis
| (ied that it is decidedly best for me to seed
i clover with oats I not only find clover
! the most profitable of any crop I can raise
after oats, but it gives, in a good clover
| sod, the best preparation I can have for the
j succeeding crop of wheat or corn. I also
find it much better to be satisfied with two
; grain crops in succession, than to try to
i grow a crop of wheat after oats. True, a
fair crop of wheat is sometimes grown af
! tor oats when the land is well manured.—
But this course requires an amount of rna
; nure by manuring for corn, and then again
in two years for wheat, or twice in a rota
i tion of some five years, that is more than
I am able to make ; while I am satisfied
that 1 can improve iny laud much easier,
cheaper and faster, and raise much better
j crops of wheat, by seeding to clover with
j oats, and getting a good clover sod to turn
under for wheat. And then, by thus seed
ing down with oats, and then again with
wheat, I can raise and have more clover
hay to feed to make manure.
CURE EOR RINGBONE.
In the Country Gentleman of March 3,
Mr. J. H. FOSTER inquires how to cure ring
: bones on horses. I will tell him how to do
i it when they are not past cure.
Ist. On the ling-boned foot, have a shoe
with high heel corks and little or no fore
! cork. This is to prevent a pressure of the
; excrescence on the hoof.
2d. Use something which will cause the
i excrescence to be absorbed and carried off.
| The excrescence is caused by a derange
ment of the vessels secreted there, and if
overcome it must be absorbed and carried
! off, and this too before it becomes a sort of
I eartillage or bony substance, and perfectly
formed. To do this blistering is resorted
i to, but I will recommend a better and sur
, er way, viz., make a compound as follows:
j Tincture lodine 1 ounce.
do Capsicum, 1 do
do Camphor, strong, 1 do
Oil thyme, 1 do
Alcohol, 4 do
Mix and apply this to the ring-bone three
times each day, and at the same time give
the ring-bone a severe rubbing. Then cov
er it with a woolen cloth closely, two or
; three thicknesses.
In a short time the excrescence will be
gin to grow smaller, and finally disappear
—that is, unless it is past cure. There
will be no difficulty in obtaining all the ar
ticles mentioned, except the oil thyme —that
will be found difficult to obtain. The wri
, ter has never been able to find a pure arti
! ele, except from importers of French drugs.
It is commonly understood to be the oil of
' origanum, but it is not, and is as far from it
j as the oil of hemlock.
This compound will not always cure, for
ring-bone is sometimes past cure. There
is little danger of hurt arising from the
use of this medicine, although it may take
; off the hair, and sometimes produce a sore.
The writer of this has known it to be used
in many cases, and has never heard of but
one instance where an excessive sore was
made, and that was in a case where other
ingredients were added. J. J. F.
As Dru. AS A HOE.—Why should the hoe
be made the whipping post for so many
bluntedged scythes, axes, knives, and oth
| or tools ? As dull as a hoe ! Many a farmer
works the year through with a hoe whose
1 edge is thicher than an old-fashioned cop
i per when a few minutes turning of the
grindstone would put it in good working
order. A sharp hoe saves time and
strength, and does one's work better thau
a dull one. So farmer will mow ordinarilv
longer than a day, without grinding his
scythe ; why not always keep an edge
also upon the hoe ?

Richmond. Fact. It is tnrm oil.
