GEN ERAL REMARKS.
Copied from Articles by VIM. H. Young, Esq, Of
Columbus, Georgia

To secure the best results from farming, Planters
must cultivate only good land, or land made good by
1anuring and thorough preparation. BY subsoiling,
the land is saved from washing, holds longer the
moisture OF the winter rains, and thus enables the
land to Counteract the summer droughts. TO sub
soil turn under the grass, &c, with good turning
pillow, and follow in that flrrOW with subsOil pillow.
In old countries where lands have been cultivated
hundreds OF years they still produce abundanty by
proper cultivation and generous feeding with ma
nure. Such lands are now worth from $50 to $500
per acre according to location
While lands were fresh, they yielded abun-
dainty, but the system of shallow blowing together
with failure to feed the land with manure, has
resulted in the soil being impoverished and washed
in unsightly gullies.
The garden is well MANFRED and yields accordingly
(but even there, blowing or spading is neglected.
while the fields are continually exhausted without
manurng.
Cultivate less land, cultivate it well, and manure it
generously, and you will be well paid for your labor
the other hand if YOU cultivate thin or unmanured
land, you will find it costs more than it comes to-
Let us suppose some cases and see results

PERUVIAN GUANO.

1t may be thought that Peruvian Guano is an ex-
cepton to the above We think the contrary may
be shown 1t is quite true, Peruvian Guano has been
extensively used with good results for the time beng
but whatever may have been the opinion enter
taned in the earlier periods Of its use, it will not be
doubted 110eo, Jy those o0 oS tie subject Mtegfntcon-
alteration, that is not best adapted to use in tie condi
ton in tehich 1t is imported.
Peruvian Guano is the only higtly drnnaotiucn
Guano discovered. Rain never falls on the islands;
hence its AMMONIA is retained That it aJuunt2s IN
this element TO EXCESS and is dffclen in the n40ye D.-
portant element Of phosphate Of 6me is capable OF
rational deduction from facts developed by long eX-
pei ence.
Nature furnishes in Peruvian Guano a Source Of
ammonia which will not be applied to its proper use
in this country until it be made available to sup
ply that element to the unammoniacal Guanos when
being prepared for use, at cost much less Man tts
present market price, The present high price of Peru
Wan Guano makes its use ior this purpose too ex-
pensve compared with other sources of ammonia
More than twelve years ago, published an
article in which attempted to show by deductions
from facts, that the cont nued application Of Peru
Wan Guano must sooner or later bring about CON
dition of exhaustion Of the soil. This conclusion
was predicated upon the fact that its application r
ntshes the soil ch less phosphate Of lime than the crops
grown renaoces hence we urged that gTddudl TIT
certain process of exhaustion was kept up, which
would sooner or later be realized in diminished pro-
ducts though not noticeable in the vegetable growth
That result is now beginning to be realized
IT is tho untuerSGl opinion and testimony of farmers
"Mat Peruvian Guano is not 80 good as IN former
years." The truth u.s. as shown by late examinations
By analysis that is tdenscaAy the as imported in
former gears.
The TACT is, its use has exhausted the so1 of pAos-
phates and the condition is realized which confirms
our deductions made years ago.
