MANURE.
Pomaria, S. c., 1858.

Manure is the foundation Of agricul-
tural prospcrity-and agriculture of
national prosperity.
Every plant obtains a portion of its
support from the soil, and therefore
exhausts the soil Of certain constituents
on which it grows-and hence every
crop diminishes the fertility of the
soil when the plant is removed from
the field. Asucccssion Of crops, raised
and removed from field, must soon
deprive the soil Of certain parts which
arc essential to their growth, and they
must anguish, unless an equivalent in
manure Is given.
If the farmer wishes to increase the
efficiency Of his manure, let him haul
mari, clay, and Icachcd ashes on to his
sandy land, and undordrain his wet
land. But, after all, these are but
helps; barnyard must be his reliance.
Here is the farmers treasure. Leaves,
straw, hay, muck--any thing animal,
vegetable, or mineral, may be added
with profit. Effort must be used to
accumulate manure, care to preserve,
and liberal hand to spread it.
The manure from twenty-five head
Of cattle, if properly taken care Of, will
increase tho yield Of corn, on eight
acres Of land, from twenty-five to fifty
bushels per acre.
The cultivation Of the corn crop fits
the manure for y crop Of wheat, so
that the same manure adds two hundred
bushels Of corn the first year, and adds
as much, in proportion, to the wheat
crop the second year. After the wheat,
the ground is then in fine condition for
crop Of clover. Each head Of cattle,
with proper care in raising it, will pro-
ducc four cords Of manure during the
season Of foddcring, aud every cord Of
manure is worth two dollars.
Without manure, no part of the
world can continue fertile under the
cXhausting process of cultivation. If
the f'thcr, without returning an equi-
valcnt to the soil, obtains large crops,
hc will entail n barren soil on his chill
drCn.
Farmers, then, should save all their
10anwe,and tho liquid is more valuable
than the solid. There is nitrogen
enough in a pint Of urioo to make
pound Of wheat. 10 allow it to 20 to
waste is rs wasteful as to throw aGay
whcnt W the pound. Stables and
baYnyards should be 50 constructed that
the liquid manure may run into ~ bowl
shaped reservoir, and chat kept sup
Piled with straw, bones, muck, or other
aJsorJonts that will dctain it, and its
ga5scg.
The manure from the stable should

the rain and snow, to prevent it from |
heating, and by opening the heap, OF
otherwise, should be kept from burning.
All the weeds should be pulled W
before they so to seed, and put into
the barnyard for the cattle to manu-
facture into manure, for every farmer
should know that it cxhausts the soil
as much to mature the crop Of weeds
as it does crop Of grain. ,..,.1 .

manure should be cleared for the benefit

But judgment is required even in the
use of u good thing to apply tho
same quantity and quality of manure
to all crops, is as injudicious as to give
the same quantity and quality of food
to all animals. .0......o ,.. '......
Broad.leaved, succulcnt plants, as
corn, beets, turnips, cabbage, and the
like, are gross-feeders, and admit of
abundant manure. But small grain,
as wheat, and barley, may be so heavily
manfred as to run to straw, at the cx.
pcnse of the grain. ..# BIO.
The first crop after manuring, then,
should be q gross feeder, as corn OF
oats, and these fit the soil and manure
for crop of wheat the next season.
Manure should be applied to the

possible, that itmay become thoroughly

DOES CHINESE SUGAR CANE KILL
p. ...a ..ra CATTLE!
From tie Charleston Dfereuru.

Mr.. EDITOR IL have fed this plant
to ailkinds of stock for the past sea-
sons, in every stage of its growth
green, ripe and oured--as fodder. 1
have found it the best selling plant L
ever raised-horscs, mules, sheep,
swine, goats and cattle, rapidly fnttcn
when fed on it. l fed two hundred
and fifty bushels of the seed during the
past winter to sheep and poultry, and
! attach the relative value of oats
TO it rs winter food for these animals.
Ia April last | sowed twenty acres
broadcast in sugar millet, intended it
us u pasturagc for calves and mich
COWS. On tho first of July 1 turned
the mich COWS, sheep, goats, calves,
swine, and geese, upon it, and have
not lost II single animal. They have
all improved rapidly, and although l
have large numbers on the field, the
heritage bids fair to keep ahead of all
demands made on it. I made it a point
to take my animals from good pastures,
and fed them we'll before turning them
IN, allowing them plenty of salt. If
4 halfstaryed COW is turned on wheat,
peas, or Indian corn, she is Just as
likely to die from oyer.eating these
crops as she is from Chinese Sugar
Cane. Tho disease which kills cattle
when oyer.fcd on green food in a hun
cry state, is termed lIoove, the best
cure for which is drcnch Of salt dis
solved in gallon Of water. This will
relieve an animal sometimes in a min
ute. Peas, Of all green food, is the
most dangerous, from the flatulcnt ma
ture Of the plant. I have frequently
seen half a dozen COWS die in few
hours after they were turned into a
luXuriant pea field in the fall, and have
as frequently seen others relieved by
tho above dose. y cow which, like
the asses Of Ephraim, had been fed on
the East wind during the winter, and
gazcd upon the roadside and bushels,
might be expected to die from Joy af-
tcran overEecdof sugar millct. / have
sowed broadcast at the rate of one
and a half bushels Of sugar cane seed
to the acre, meadow which | intend
to convert into good nutritious hay for
winter food. | think more COWS will
die for the want Of this food in our
State than from being over fed on it.
| do not think, with the proper pccau.
tions, it is in anywiSe moro dangerous
than other green food we are accus-
toned to feed, and would advise its
extended use as 4 soiling and hay crop
in the South.

Sheep are valuable to tho farmer,
not only from the product of wool and
mutton, but from the tendency which
their keeping has to improve and enrich
his lands for all agricultural purposes.
They do this: .......... :. .
1st. BY the consumption of food re.
fused by other animals, in summer ;
turning waste vegetation into use, and
giving rough and bushy pastures a
smoother appearance, land in time eradi-
eating wild plants, so that good grasses
and white clover may take their place.
In this respect sheep arc invaluable to
pastures on soils too steep or too stony
for the pillow. In winter, the coarser
part of the hay refused by horses and
COWS, is readily eaten by sheep, while
other stock will generally eat most Of
that left by these animals.
For these reasons, among others, no
grazing farm should be without a flock
OF sheep, for it has been found that as
many cattle and horses can be kept
without them, and without any injury
to the farm for other purposes. 4
small flock, we said; perhaps half a
dozen to each horse or COW would he
q proper proportion. A variety of cir
cumstanccs would influence this point,
such as the character of the pasturagc,
and proportion of the same fitted and
desirable for tillage.
ID. Sheep enrich land by tho pro.
duction of large quantities of excellent
manure. y farmer oflarge experience
in sheep husbandry thought there was
no manure so fcrtlizing as that of sheep,
and-of which there is no doubt-that
none dropped by the animal upon the
land suffered so little by the waste from
exposure. a German agricultural writer
has calculated that the droppings from
one thousand sheep during a single
night, will manure an acre sufficiently
for any crop.
by using a portable fence, and NOV.
ing tho same time, farmer might
manure distant field with sheep at
less expense than carting and spread
ing barn manure Country Gent.
