From The County Gentleman.
CHARCOAL AS A FERTILIZER.


!, OF all the absorbents, not even excepting
gypsum, charcoal is by far the most yalua-
Bile; and the only objection urged against its
more extended use, is the expense which at
tends its introduction into many parts Of the
country. But were its true merits, not only
as an absorbent but fertilizer, better known,
many means could be brought to bear which
are now unthought Of, and it would be seen
occupying more exalted place in every
farm and garden, Fertilizer. did we say ?
Yes, Fertilizer; and to justify ourselves we
will give our reasons, for we wish to com.
mend il to the respect and confidence Of our
been 50 anxious to maintain until the close
Of these remarks. Now anything which
adds fertility to the soil, according to our
Webster, is fertilizer, and as such we take
leave to name charcoal, substance which
never remains inactive, unless under the dis
charged receiver Of an air pump.
On the earth, in the stables and yards, at
the dungheap, il is ever at work. taking up
FIRST the ammonia and nitrogen to feed poor
half starved vegetation. Anon, its Office IS
changed, its field Of work is in the clouds,
the thirsting plant is refreshed BY its dewy
contact. grows, gains, and ripens the rich
seed all through the medium OF this piece OF
dust-this nonentity, as il is called, which
contains many times its own weight Of nutri-
tion and subsistence.
For proof of this we need only refer to the
authority Of an eminent Swiss chemist,
Saussure, who, by actual experiment, ascer.
tanned that one cubic inch ot fresh box wood
would absorb and condense 90 inches of am
moniacal gas, S5'of carbonic acid, 81 of oxy
gen, and II of nitrogen and. as remarks
this distinguished naturalist, " this property
gives it its great value in putrescent COM
pOslts and as a manure"
Although we should advise the use Of char
coal mostly as above recommended, still we
do MT doubt that when it can be uhtaip.d
at a moderate expense u will pay, applied as
a top-dressing, especially on grass and clo-
yer fields. When thus applied, from thirty
to forty bushels TO the acre should be used.
IL is also recommended as a top-dressing for
turnips, and in dry seasons would undoubt.
edly prove Of great advantage to them, as il
would absorb moisture from the dews for
their nourishment during the parching inilu-
ence of drought.
II could be used even after the drought
had fairly commenced. and might be produc.
| tive OF unlocked for results.
Turnips are known TO thrive in very dry
seasons when supplied with moderate dews,
and the effects Of charcoal would be TO make
the most Of these wise provisions Of benefi

MINISTER'S SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

The salaries Of the clergy Of the United
States do not average Eve hundred dollars a
year, aud yet, as a class, they are the best

With less culture, with less character. with
less mental power, there are men, all over
the land, who earn from one 10 twenty five
thousand dollars a year. But look at the

two cuttings on one acre, in one season.
