J. J. MArEs, No. IL Beekmsn ST.:
DEAR SIR-I have very great pleasure in wri-
ting you, touching the effects of your Superphos-
phate of Lime on our Cotton Crop. Having tested
it against four other preparations, the appearance
of the plant is most hopeful and promising, as re-
CARDS large and remunerating yield. feel
certain your manure will give from one hundred to
one hundred and thirty pounds of Cotton more
than any other preparation, per acre.
It is remarkable fact that no Rust is seen in the
plant where your manure has been usod, while all
others show Rust or less and this is especial
ly the case whore Guano has been used.
And last, though not least, ao regards the Plan
ter's interest, I feel certain that Cotton from Su-
perphosphate will WEIGH MUCH HEAVIER
than from any other preparation; in this particu-
lar believe Phosphates are destined to work the
greatest possible revolution in the Cotton-growing
States.
The plants look most vigorous and luxurious,
some being six feet high, and holding from eighty
to one hundred and ton bolls each stalk. I en-,
very truly, II. LOMAS.

An Agricultural paper says: "We can
not let the month of March pass without
putting in good word for the rhubarb
or pie plant. There are few plants that
are not actual staples, that are more real,
ly useful than this, or that will yield
greater product on a. given space of
ground; and certainly, pie-plant should
be found in every garden. Not the long,
spindling, tough, stringy stalks, such as
are usually found in our market, that
consist of but little else than skin, strings,
and the balance green Shiny juice, just
such as would exude from the pressed
leaves of green trees; but the large, ten
der, thin-skinned stalks, of mild, acid
and agreeable flavor, such as the Linn@us
and Victoria varieties afford. There is as
much difference between these latter va
rieties and the other stuff, as there is be-
tween the yellow bellaower and wild
crab-apple."

procuring thereby the materials necessary
for the artificial propagation; and for
about one month every appearance cor
responded to results stated in published
accounts. But eventually, they all turned
white, which was evidence that they had
lost vitality. This is one of the failures
alluded to above. The other was this !:
The connection between the spawning
ground and the home of the brood-6sh

screening, so as to prevent the young
brood getting in with the parent fish, and
before / was aware of it, schools were
there, and becoming less every day, in
consequence of the voracious habits of
the older fish; under these circumstances,
and having no facilities for separating
them, the result was, that when / drew off

the spawning.bed this Fall, found only
about thirty of last Winters Matching.
These varied from three to five inches in
length, and when first discovered about
the first of last April, they were from
one-half to hree-fourths Of an inch. As
| have watched the movements and pro-
pensities of the trout, am convinced that
the destruction of the younger by the
older is immense, when not prevented by
artificial arrangements.
GAS the result of close observation, |

PRESERVING HAMS THROUGH SUMNER.
Make number of cotton bags, little lar
ger than your hams; after the hams are
well smoked, place them in the bags; then
get the best kind of sweet, well-made hay,
cut it with knife, and with your hands
press it we'll around the hams in the bas, !;
tie the bags with good strings, put on
card of the year to show their age, and
hang them up in garret or some dry
room, and they will hang five years, and
will be better for boiling than on the day
you hung them up. This method costs
but little, and the bags will last forty
years. No flies or bugs viii trouble the
hams, if the hay is we'll pressed around
them; the sweating Of the hams will be
taken up by the hay, and the hay will
impart fine flavor to the hams. The
hams should be treated in this way before

Breeding Horses for All-work.

As am great admirer of fine stock
of all kinds, | take pleasure in reading all
that appears in the Rural on the subject !;
but am forced, from experience and OBJ
seryation, to differ with some of your
correspondents. contend that like be-
gets like and that it's impossible to
change the Laws of nature. therefore
contend that no horse is suitable to be
bred to all kinds Of mares; so as to pro-
luce fine animals from I'll. And | furth-
crmore contend that no stallion can pro-
duce animals suitable for all kinds of
work. If thorough bred stations will DO
so, why was it not done IN the blue grass
country Of Kentucky?
Some twenty odd years ago, everybody
bred to thoroughbred stations the con-
sequence MAS that the horses became too
small for everything but the saddle. Then
they rcsortcl to the other extreme, and
imported a number of draft stations. 1t
is true they increased the si=e of their
horses, aud produced many fine animals,
and at the same time many worthless
weeds. lie Who breeds " small mare to

The Cadenhead PloRstock.

Col. JOHN D. WILLIAMS, of Laurens,
one ct the best, most successful and scien-
tific farmers in the State, has tried the
"Cadenhead Plowstock," and speaking Of
It's merits, says: =
A week or SO ago, a very Intelligent
gentleman from Alabama, Mr.. w. FELTON,,
came to my house and exhibited q Patent
Plowstock, known as the " "Cadenhead
Piowstock; at first, | looked upon it as |
had upou many other patents, with but
little interest. But US soon as heard the
explanation Of its merits, and saw its per-
iormance, saw the great advantages in
the Plowstock, for ease to the plower, la.
Dor saved to the horse or mule, and a
9low. that would do much better blowing
tsn auy other plow had ever seen, be-
sidGsa plowstock that would last one or
two generations.
This .plow was patented on the 9TH of
March, 1856, for VIM. & J. J. Cadenhead,
and it has only been introduced partially
in Edgefeld and Abberillo Districts, and
one or two other places in this State,
within the last year. 1t being so highly
recommended to me by practical farmers,
such as Mr.. Jas, Creswell, DIR. Abner
league, Maj. Il. A. Griffin and others, as
the very best plowstock they had ever
used, and | was so pleased with it, de-
termined to purchase plantation rights for
all of my farms.
Farming is my delight, and to see well
managed and regulated farm, and one
properly cultivated, speaks great praise
for its owner and manager; but to see one
cultivated up hill and down hill and across
flats and hollows and washed in gullies,
and oftener than otherwise plowed when
the land is entirely too wet, condemns
the owner, and i'll my judgment shows he
is no farmer, but land murderer, and
that he feels but little interest in those
that come after him.
There is nothing more ruinous to land
than to plow it when too wet, or to suffer
stock to run over it iu that condition,
thing l never suffer; that, with improper
cultivation, will ruin and wear out any
,:nuntry, no matter how rich the land may

wonder when riding about over the coun-
;ry if the farmers never will learn how
to cultivate and save their lands.
