Nanures in the West.

Speaking of the, land in Iowa, the
Homestead, of this State, makes the
following, unique remarks :w
So inexhaustibly rich are most of
our Iowa lands that man who would
take the trouble to draw manure from
his barn-yard to the fields, with view
of enriching them, would be looked up
ON as a curiosity in some localities.
We know of field that has been crop
ped annually with wheat and corn for
eighteen years, and this year has as
promising a stand of Catawba Club
upon ii as we remember to have seen
in the Genesee Valley, of New York.
The time will come, doubtless, when
manuring will be necessary, but not
in this generation until then the
straw stacks will be burned to get rid
of them, and the manure piles contin-
ne to accumulate into vast nnisances
Our readers will, from this, understand
why we say so little upon the subject
OF manures, phosphates, carbonates,
gnano, etc. 1t would be labor wasted
upon a people who never use them,
simply because they do not yet see the
necessity. While admitting that the
gradual wasting Of the strength Of the
soil is short-sightcd policy for our
farmers, we are thankful that the soil
is rich enough to stand the drain for
SO many years to come.

Southern Sentiment.

The tone of our Southern cXchan-
yes in relation to the adoption of the
Constitutional Amendment, is by no
means rcassuriug. The papers OF
nearly all the principal Southern
cities, treat the adoption Of the amend
ment as Of no practical value, il
having been ratified by the aid of the
Southern States that have not been
admitted TO their full rights in the
Union, and were therefore unable to
give legal effect to the ratification
They further claim that the ratilica
ton being made condition prcco
dent 10 their admission into political
equality, it was given under durcss
and will not hold good. All are not
equally explicit in their avowals, but
such is the sentiment openly or CO.
verify expressed. If these papers
faithfully represent the feelings aud
intentions of the Southern people,
there is great danger ahead, but there
is a considerable element yet to be
found in Southern editorials in spite
of four years hard lessons. Ictthcro
is ground enough for careful action.
The second clause in the amendment
empowers ccrsvess to pass such laws
as will give vitality to the Amend
ment itself, and no time should be
lost in passing such laws.
