WHAT KIND OF MANURE SHALL WE USE
ON OUR GARDENSi


Much depends upon what kind Of soil the
garden is composed Of. III il is still clay, we
would manure in the fall. with sand and
wood ashes, and in the winter, we would dig
in a good coating Of stable manure, or guano.
Guano may be used to advantage in the gar
den it it is applied early, and there is any
thing in the soil for il to assimiate with. In
light, sandy lands It should have vegetable
matter 10 some form, muck from the swamps,
surface mould from the woods, OF something
of the kind to mix with il. The great adj
vantage Of guano over other manures is, that
Il Immediately becomes soluble in water,
and all iood Of plants must be in solution
before it can be taken up. Whatever ma
nures are applied to the garden, should be
well tur0ed under. Coarse manures may be
used il applied in the winter. Butthere can
be no doubt upon the mind Of any thorough
experimentalist, that old. well rotted stable
manure is the very best fertilizer for gar
den, as il contains all the requisite food oi
plants, and, when well rotted. there is little
danger OF using too much. The manure OF
the COW lot may be used on the garden with
out fear Of burning it IS not as stimulating
as horse manure, but i, safer. The manure
from the chicken-house i good garden ma
nure, il should be well pulyerised, and il the
garden be dry, motsiened beiOre 1t is used.

sUPFIcIENcY OF PORK IN THE SOUTH

Spectators in Bacon will find that as
winter approaches their chances for making
large profits from that source will become
precarious. and that they will be obliged to
betake themselves to some more honest call
ing if they wish TO "saye their bacon"
For some reason unknown, the general run
Ofpeople, spectators included, imagine that
everything Of real necessity is only to be
found and only TO be had in the North, and
especially is this true in regard to meat
stuis. Heretofore farmer in Tennessee,
or Missouri, or Kentucky, would sell his
beeyes or fat hogs to the Northern specula.
tor, who would have them slaughtered and
dressed, and then sent 70 New York or
Philadelphia and in due course Of time the
meatsluR thus procured would find its way
to Charleston, Savannah, &c., under the
name or "prime Northern" The blockade
has put stop To This kind of traffic, and
hereafter the extreme South will be supplied
through means Of railways but recently
completed, with meatstuifs direct from foun-
tain sources. Ii will no doubt surprise ma

The SE2UEsTRATIoN LAw.-There seems to be some
confusion in the public mind respecting the operation
OF this law Itissometimes supposed that it is general
spoliaon of all property of which the owners are living
in the former United States But this is clear mistake
The act has reference to but aliers Perhaps the
natives and naturaed citizens Of Massachusetts oranv
OF those States may be legally characterised as aliens
now. They were citizens of South Carolina their
civil rights depended the constitution of the United
States which gave the citizens Of any State rights of
a citizen in every State. And the constitution being
abolished the rights which depended on this clause are
abolished with it, that they now citizens of Mas
sachusetts, and nothing But citizen of South
Carolina residing in Boston is not alien The act has
words that apply to such persons. Even if he were
in the service OF the hostile government he would not be
alien, though he might be enemy. The State has
right to call upon its citizens home when their
services needed otherwise it is no offence to reside
in enemys country, 50 long as man does nothing
but live privately and peaceably there.
This is highly penal law, and must receive strict
construction; but fair construction can make the term
alien include native citizen WHO has never been legally
expatriated
Let therefore distress himself with the notion
that he is obliged inform against his eountryrnan or
countfy8oman that is kept n an enemy's country by
considerations of health or cheapness. LEGIsr.
