o. The American Agricultural in
speaking of the Thoroughbred horse,
says: This is no ideal animal thatI have
imagined for the entertainment of my
readers but real flesh and blood. ches-
nut horse, with u white stripe in his face,
that l see constantly in my neighbor' :
team. He cost no more to raise and he
costs no more to keep, than the rcrie.t
club-footed. ''lunkhead' tina. spends hall
his life OH three legs, and would rather
take my chance of getting full season S
work out OF him the coming year than
out of any other farmhouse that know.
lie may die any day, but until he does
die he will be ''for duty" lie will be
game to the very end as is the nature of
his wiry tribe. lie is not only real
horse, but he is of the type that every
farmer may have who will 60 to work
in the right way to get it. The whole
secret is explained in my neighbor's
statement that IF we want blood any
where, we want it on the farm We
hear great deal now about thorough
bred Jerseys and Shorthorns and Southe
downs, and our Walking and Taking
friend from whom we learn so much ev-
cry month convinced US that we must at
least have thoroughbred boars. Imam
tain that the king of all the thorough
breds is the thoroughbred horse. am
glad to have pure-bred males for every
kind of stock from cattle to chickens. but
the one pure-blooded sire on which |
depend not only for profit and economy
Of food and work, but for intelligence
and kindly disposition, and friendship
as well. is the thorough bred horse.
In these Horse Papers shall endeavor
TO stem the tide that now sets so strong
ly in favor of fast-trotters (Which are
well enough in their way,) and to cal,
the attention of my readers to the inn
portance ofcreatinga class offarm horses
which shall combine as many as possible
of the most desirable qualities, with
speed enough for all practical purposes
using as means thereto tho Thorough
bred blood" horse, that is the English
race-horse. This is beyond comparison
the most purely bred domestic animal
in the world, having, in this country no
less than in England, clearly recorded
pedigree without flaw or defect, running
back hundred and forty years, and
possessing more strongly than any other,
the power of transmitting his excellent
qualities to his progeny.
Then again. as 1.-The master il half of
the horse shall try to set forth the
duties which the ownership of fine
animal imposes OH the farmer; end to
suggest improvements i'm our modes of
treating the faithful friends who uncom-
plainingly do so much for us.

From the American Agricnltrrist.
Action of the Frost On the Soil.

Sandy soils are not as rule benefited
By fall blowing. and by thus being more
exposed TO the action OF the sun and
frost than they otherwise would be. =
This is doubtless because the organic
matter which is So important in this class
of soils j. much more rapidly decom-
posed and caused TO disappear when thus
treated. Pcaty soils orthose in which there
is al excess oi organic matter are benefit
ted for the same reason, and because the
peat becomes less pasty or tibrous,which
ever nature II has, and more granular. =
\ very marked example Of the effects
of frost on some organic substances may
be- observed IN ease crop Of buckw heat
intended for plowing under be caught
by severe frost. Though the crol, nn
lhc iiuiG might have annotated 10 several
tons. the frost and the occoupositions
which follow will reduce il To an appar-
entity valuclcss mass in Il very short time.
Little besides the stubble is lett TO appear
auce. and We are assured by Il farmer ac-
customed TO plcwing under green crops,
that not enough. of value is left 10 pay
for turning under. This we doubt, bu.
We do believe much besides water is ac-
tually lost.
The action Of freezing and ;hawing in
clayey and heavy gravelly soils is diiier-
ent; while il destroys a portion of the
organic matter in them. which, however.
is not of such importance 10 them a. 10
lighter sandy soils. it coinminutes the
particles. renders cloGs friable, and brings
larger portion 81 the inorganic part in
to a tit condition to be appropriated by
The plant.
The bcneficisl action of frost is not
due TO its holding the soil in frozen
state. but 10 the Get of freezing: consc-
qucntly, thawiug is almost as useful as
freezing 10 the soil, and this useful action
takes place most in moderate weather.
In cold winter weather il is best for the
soil to be covered with snow, which il
wei! called 1.-The poor mans manure,
for the alteration OF freezing and iliaw-
ing is not altogether arrested by the COW
ering of snow while, ii the ground is
bare. the high winds of winter scatter
great quantities of the finest particles of
the soil.

A General View.

lady sends us the following sen1ible article which, in few words, exhibits the foundation upon which the fabric of Territorial prosperity must yet rea- its giant dimensions. The fair writer denies the presence of any very considerable min- eraI wealth and in tn 2 respect, alone, do her opinions conflict with ours. Had she conformed to the general custom of newspaper correspondent ts, by enclosing ''Personal," we should have felt much greater satisfaction. Editors always like to know the names of the correspondents
 MR. EDIroR:-A gceat deal has 5een written about Arizona, for and against, but never any thing by lady. Now, propose to give you a statement of facts without favor fear, affection. Much has been said about gold an silvor mines, which as general thing exist only in the inagna- tiou (of course with few exeptiOns.) But Ari- zona has other advantages, beyond it's gold and silver; its valleys, for the tiers of tho soil, are of the very richest it's climate is unsurpassed in any part of the world; it is true the summes are very hot, but relieved by cool pleasant nights and if only tn til lers of the soil, instead of the visionary gold hnnter would come here, it could soon be made the garden spot ofthe world. The tenacty of the present settlers, to the gold idol is its ruin let the cry be, Two Crops per Annum and the husbandman will make the territory. Up to this timo, no one has came into tho country sxept those who expect to make fortune in a day, (thrOugh being sharper than their neighbors, and then leave it, or those who expect to strike 8 rich mine. l again say, let the farmer and me- ohsnc settle this country, and give us respectable society instead of gamblers and gold hunters ; and Arizona will loom up greater when these is no cry of gold gold! where there is gold, very little. When the pIOughman comes here, th Apache will have to give way, as the Indians did, from the East to the fSr West, in the days of oar forefathers.

Pacific Guano Co.'S Works.
WOODS HOLE and CHARLESTON, SC.

The works Of the Company constructed at the
above places of the most extensive and complete
character, and involve an outlay IN hxed capital oil
from $3500O0 TO 100000 The investment OF so
large an amount OF fixed capital in works and ma
chnery besides that required for the prosecution OF
the trade IL, cessary Identifies the interests OF tins
Company with the agricultural interests oil the South
ern and Middle States; hence 1t is the policy and
highest inter st of tie Company to avail OF every
resource within the reach of enterprise and the leg
mate use of capital to furnish planters with the most
effective concentrated fertilizer that can be produced
from the resources at command. Certainly, enter
prise and capital cannot be employed in any more
useful channel than that directed to increase Of
the products of labor devoted to agriculture.
Tie soil is the ultimate source from which the
wealth and pre- speTity Of nations is derived hence
those agencies which materially increase its pro-
ducts without an increase Of labor are Of TIE highest
public utility.
Agricultural chemistry teaches that the power Of
coils to produce crops depends upon the presence N
them Of certain well-known clements, which furnish
essential nutrition to plants that without the pres
ence of these elements in adequate quantity o
soil cannot be productive. 1t also teaches that by
long-cOntinued culture, without restoration, soils
once fertile become unprodueye by the gradual but
certain removal of these elements of fertility and
that the only remedy is found In system OF ludicOus
restoration by means of the direct application Of the
elements which have been removed The truth of
this teaching of science is confirmed by the eXpe-
rence and observation Of the present generation.
and the subject now enlsts the attention of political
economists and scientific men in all parts Of the
world to an extent never realized at any previous
period
1t an interesting reflection that just at the period
when the necessity arises it is found that nature has
laid up in store ample supplies of the most essential
elements Of fertility in forms and conditions which
the lapse Of time has not impaired demanding as
an equivalent the exercise of skill, experience and
enterprise to render them available for the highest
utility in promoting the interests of agriculture.

These letters are from farmers in VTg'"d' AG'yHN''

their experience of the use Of this Guano applied 10
all crops grown in these States. They all testify to

crop to which it is applied and to its effects as an
imnrover of the soil If space permitted we could
add many more letters, of similar character from
