lAi 
are few, if any, lands which are not benefitted by sub- 
soiling — plaster or gypsum is an excellent top dressing 
for growing crops of Peas, Clover, &c., and lime aids 
greatly in decomposing green manures and preparing 
them to feed other plants. — Eds.] 
Propagation op Fish. — An interesting report on the 
artificial propagation of Fish, made to the Massachusetts 
Legislature, by the Commissioners appointed last year, 
embodies a great number of useful facts. The conclu- 
sions of the report are as follows : 
That the artificial propagation of fish is not only prac- 
ticable, but may be made very profitable; and that fresh 
waters may thus be made to produce a vast amount of ex- 
cellent food ; that a small outlay of capital and a moder- 
ate degree of skill, aided by such information as can be 
■derived from books that any man can procure, will enable 
the proprietors of small streams and ponds to stock their 
own waters; that in I’espeet to the larger streams and 
ponds a combination ofindividualsmay be necessary, with 
such legislation as is adapted to each particular case, and 
guarding the rights of all persons interested in the wa- 
ters — especially when they have been applied to mechani- 
cal purposes.” 
What will give a Horse an Appetite. — Editors 
Southern Cultivator — I have noticed a good deal said 
about the diseases ofhorses— Blind Staggers, Botts, &c. — 
in the Cultivator. Now if you, or any of your subscri- 
bers, can tell what will give a horse an appetite, I hope 
they will be good enough to make it known through 
vour valuable Cultivator. I hear a great many farmers 
complaining, saying their horses would not eat. Mine 
has beeift so for the last month that they will scarcely eat 
any corn. If you can give any information it will be 
thankfully received. Yours, &c., E. A. M.

article ot NEGRO CLOTH, made of strong, double well twisted 
cotton waxp and pure wool ill ling, which I warrant as a faithful 
article, and to wear longer than any Northern goods 
Being one of the pioneers in manufacturing in Georgia, I have 
hadtostrnggle against a fierce competition from the Massachusetts 
manufacturers — for their skill could pmt a good face ou an inferior 
article, v/hichthey could s^il nominaiiy cheaper than I could a faith- 
ful article. Hence, merchants as well as planters, refused to en- 
courage Southern enterprise, because Northern goods wdre offered 
at a few cents per jwd less, OAmrlooking the A-ast differcnce'in'the 
quality of the material used. Is not now the time for planters to 
encourage Southern manufactures, and make us independent of 
the North, especiaJly when goods are offered at a reasonable price, 
and of a qualitj'^ that Avill give satisfaction.
