Defensive Medication .

Investigation is &s necessary for the protes-
tion of the human body against disease when un-
healthy influences abroad, as iron Armor and
granite easements are for the protection Of ships
and fortresses when assAiled by shot and she'll
Hence, it is desirable when those potent enemies
of vitality, damp and cold, pervade the air we
breathe, to put the system in the best possible
condition to encounter them. The stomach is
the organ by which every other organ is nour
ished and sustained, and therefore upon it's Wig
orous and regular action depends, in q great
measure the cap scity Of the system to resist the
assaults of the invisible enemies Of health and
life, by which, at this inclement season, IL s sur.
rounded Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an ad-
mirAble tonic and regulating medicine for ali
seasons, is never more needed than In winter,
when the torpifying influence of q chilly atmos-
phere affects all the vital functions, and renders
the body extremely susceptible. BY toniDg the
digestive organs, and the liver, and the bowels
with this unequalled vegetable specific, physi-
cal condition ia attained which seems to be proof
against all varieties Of temperature. and that is
inimical in the air of winter. Defensive nedica-

As remedy for biiousness. dyspepsia, nervous

comparable to this wholesome restorative.

How In This ?

Hon. Oassius M. Clay made a speech in
Richmond, KY, last Monday, in which he
took strong and decided grounds against
Grant and the present Administration; un
aualifiedly favored universal amnesty, and
advised the negroes that if they would be
prosperous and happy. they must stand by
their late masters, and cease to act upon
the ridiculous and totally unfounded hore
of ever being their social equals. When a
man like Mr.. Clay, with all the peculiar
political tenets that he has held for SO
long, takes the stand that he has taken, it
affords one of the most significant signs OF
the times, and still further confirms the
rapidly growing opinion that the days OF
Radicalism are numbered. Mr. Clay. see
ing at last that the course of the Radical
party is certain, if persevered in, to en-
tirely ruin the country, lifts his voice
against it, and no little credit is due him
for it but his decided and manly express
sions will fall like O wet blanket upon the
Radicals of Kentucky, who had been con-
fidentIy expecting him to stump the State
in their behalf They had better profit by
his exsmple, and reassert their manhood
and their dignity before it is sternally toe
late.-Lexington (Ky.) Observer.

AN EXPERIMENT WITH SEVEN DIF-
FERENT KINDS OF FERTILIZERS.
BY GEORGE G. DIXON, CAMERON, GA.

There are now in the market for sale
about forty different kinds of Fertilizers.
Each OF these are supported by long list
of certificates from various planters who
testify that they have used them-some
one and some another-but all bear wit
nees to good results. No proprietor or
agent is without his list of certificates to
show that his particular Fertilizer is as
good, if lot better than any other Now,
how are planters to know which is the
best ? notwithstanding these long lists
of certificates, we find some farmers. yea.
too many, who find that by practical ap.
plication, after giving them a fair trial,
prove them to be worthless fertilizers Tor
so called fertlliZers) and come out in debt
and denounce al Guanos.
Now if farmers would put themselves to
little trouble we can soon find ont the
standard or best Fertilizers, but to ascer-
tain this We should try different kinds of
Fertilizers, side by side, and publish the
| co'nmuai.y tie method Of application, mode
Of culture, and tie character of The land
planted. Even if but one kind is used the
result should be made public. Such pol
icy will enable the farmer to gain informa-
ton, not only as TO the best and most
reliable Fertilizer applicable to the differ
ent soils but of the best method of appli
cation. If any particular Fertilizer proves
worthless pHbLiSh IL, but state at the same
time the character Of the land and the
met ods OF application and cultivation
BY SO doing farmers will be able to Judge
as between the Fertilizer and the expert
menttr and thus be enabled to decide be-
tween the various kinds OF Fertilizers
and what is more, to determine whether
the manufacturer or manipulation is dete-
riorating his products by adulteration, to
reap frandulently rich harvest Of wealth,
or is perfecting his manufacture year by
year.
This year / have tried seven different
kinds of Fertilizers, side by side, viz:
l. Bradloy's Super Phosphate of Lime.
2. Whann's Raw Bone.
3 Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.'S Manipulated
Super Phosphate Of Lime.
4. Patapsco Guano.
>. My own Compound.
6, Soluble Pacific Guano.
7. Mapes Super-Phosphate Of Lime.
The laud was a very poor old field, clay
near the surface. 1t was planted IN cot
ton last year but clay out " the year be
fore. The rows were three feet three in
ches apart. l did not break the land
" flush" but ran furrows between the old
rows, with on eight inch shovel plow,
furrow we'll open. This shovel plow ran
twice in the same furrow. Then
drilled the Guano in this furrow
at the rate of 32O pounds to the acre,
ran No 10 cast iron plow (Yankee) about
eight inches deep on each side, covering
the Guano. This left ridge on the old
bed where the o.d cotton stalks stood,
about seven or eight inches wide, which
''bursted out" by running my two winged
shovel plow very deep. The land was
planted April 10th and cultivated with the
sweep plow and hoe. The rows of this
experimental field were one acre, or Il
yards long.
The following is the result: picked

Soluble Pacific Guano.
What Profit does its Use Pay the Planter
for the Money Invested?

This is practical question. It is ques'
ton of no less Importance to US as manufac-
turers and sellers, than to the planters who
are the buyers of the Guano. An answer
might be given to this question by reference
to the fact that, since its introduction to the
planters of the South, its consumption has
steadily increased from feao hundred tons, the
first year of its use, to many thousands of tons,
and that Notwithstanding an annual increase
of facilities for its production, the Company
has been heretofore unable to furnish supplies
to meet the increasing demand. This fact will
be testified to by hundreds who have been un-
able to purchase supplies. 1t certainly may
be assumed, that if its use had not proved
profitable, its consumption would not have
continued and increased.
But we propose to answer the above enquiry
in a more direct and demonstrative manner,
by showing not only that the use Of this Guano
pays the planter for the money invested, but
by showing also how, and how much profit is
realized from its use, with cotton selling at the
present low price. We propose to show by
figures voluntarily given by planters who ap-
piled it to the last crop, that its use paid a
profit on the money invested in its purchase
with cotton as loa0 as 15 cents per pound, which
is NOT and cannot be realized in any business
enterprise known. Investments which pay
profit of from l2 to Is per cent per annum
are eagerly sought after, but we are able to
show, in manner that cannot be controverted
or set aside, taking for our facts as basis of
calculation, othe voluntary and disinterested
testimony of planters themselves. that the
money invested in the purchase of

ESPECIAL NOTICE
F. L A N n E r s

IT is important for Planters to keep in
neind that Sozuble Pacific Guano is brought
into market by the Pacific Gasano Com
pany ONLY and that it must not be con-
founded with any other fertilizer to which
similar name has been given, with the
prefix Of any manufacturer name, such,
for example, as A. D. or SIS Soluble Pa
cifc Guano; all such are encroachments
upon the legal trademark of the Pacific
Guano Company, and are calculated to de-
ceive consumers desiring the Soluble Pa-
cifc Guano. Hence we caution planters,
in ordering supplies, to procure it from
the agents of the Company, or give spe-
cifc directions to their factors to that
effect. The name of John s. Reese d Co.,
General Agents, &C., is branded on the
sacks of all genuine Soluble Pacific Guano,
which is the distinguishing mark.

We ask the attention of planters to, the an
nexed results, calculated from reports made by
planters whose names and address are given,
and whose letters are published in another
column, the originals Of which are in our pos.
session or the possession of our agents. It will
be seen, as stated above, that the profit realized
ranges from 100 to 700 per cent, averaging S93
per cent 1t is doubtless true there are ex.
ceptions to these results, but they are few, and
exceptions only, and are due to obscure causes,
which we cannot be expected to explain, The
quality and composition Of the Guano is pre-
.cisely the same in all cases, hence, where ex-
ceptional results are had, they must necessarily
be due to some local incidental causes, and not
to the Guano. The results given are concur
rent and general, and have been realized for a
series of years, Notwithstanding the contingen-
cies Of seasons, such as ercessive drought, er-
cessiue rain, late cold spring, attacks Of cater
pillar, rust, &C., dc.
If these results are true, to only one-half
what they are shown to be, can any planter
afford to dispense with the use Of Soluble Pa
