Political economists long ago discovered
that the division of labor is source OF
national wealth.
Plantation economy requires that this
principle be carried out so far as prac-
ticable. 1t is therefore good plan, to
detail portion Of the working force
for the special purpose of manuring
keeping them at it throughout the year
In the tide water region where vegcta-
Bile deposits and mari of lime abound,
the adoption of this plan secures to the
farmer surprising amount of manure
in the course of the year. A man with
a mule and cart working two hundred
and fifty days, (Which is not an over
estimate for the year, and collecting
twenty loads of manurial matter daily,
will cover fifty acres of land at the rate
of one hundred loads per acre. Sup
pose that this will add three hundred
pounds of seed cotton, worth six cents
per pound to the production of each
acre. This will make an aggregate of
nine hundred dollars gross as the result
of the labor of man and mule, besides
the permanent improvement to the soil
which results from a system Of high
manurinr. Fdrmrr.

GENTLE WORDS.


The sun may warm the grass 10 ife,
The dew the dropping flower,
The eyes grow bright and watch the light
Ofautumn,s opening hour
But words that breathe Of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.
1t is not much the world can give.
all its subtle art,
And gold and gems are not the things
To sltisfy the heart;
But o, if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentle words and loving smiles'
How beautiful IS earth.

PLASTER OF PARIS AS A FER
TILIZER.

IF one must use some commercial ma
nure, he will do well to make trial of
Plaster of Paris, unless he should live
where he cannot obtain it without great
expense.
That it generally produces favorable
results wherever used, is E. well estab-
tablished fact; but the process by which
those results are gained does moi appear.
Some observers think that the plaster
retans the fertiliziug gas that arises
from decaying vegetable matter, and
gives it eff at the proper time for the
use of the growing plant. Others think
that the effect is due to the lime and
sulphur of which plaster is composed
it is sulphate cflime.
Flint, in his book on Grasses, says:
"The infectious odor which rises from
d,caying vegetable matter from the ma
nure heap, and imperceptibly from the
whole surface of the earth, is one of the
most important elements for the growth
of the plant. Plaster fixes this, and
the frss:shower washes it into the earth
to feed the roots ofplants.
The relative value of manure depends,
in measure, according to the general
ly received opinion on this subject,
upon the amount of this noxious odor,
or the ammonia, commonly known as
hartshorn, is an exceedingly powerful
stimulant. Nor will it appear u1im-
portaut when we bear in mind that two
and one.quarter pounds of this ammonia
lost by fermentation, is equal according
to some, to the loss of one hundred and
fifty pounds Of grass or grain"
One fact seems to favor this view of
the case, and that is, that plaster, when
plowed under, produces no perceptible
effect on the crop; but when sown upon
the surface proves powerful stimulant
to the growing plant.
Sir Humphry Davy found, by cxpcr-
iment, that the ashes of an acre of red
clover contain no less than three bushels
ofplaster of Paris. This fact would
seem to prove that the substance of the
plaster is absorbed by the plant, for
there is no plant that shows the effect
Of plaster moro readily than clover. In
many instances, it is believed that from
one to two bushels of plaster sown on
an acre of clover has nearly doubled
the crop.
On a:Hght or sandy soil plaster is of
very little value, but on the surface of
damp and compact soil may be used to
great advantage. 1t is useful on pas
tures as we'll as on meadows and when
mixed about half and half with wood
ashes, and dropped on corn or potatoes
soon,as they come up, about heaping
spoonful to the hill, the result will be
manifest. ......
II was common for fGrmers in New
England; forty years ago, to haul plas.
ter in the rock hundred and twenty
miles, break it into pieces about the size
Of hickory nuts, and take it to the mill,
where it was ground for use on their
farms. The prime cost of the article
was trifing, but the labor bestowed
upon it brought it up to high price
but as they persevercd in the practice
year after we conclude that they believ ed
it to be paying operation.
