More of Commercial Matters

The lOng-tried farm experiments of
the great English experimental farmer
at Rothhamsted, J. B. Lawes, goes to
show that ammonia and super-phosphate
of lime have produced ON his moderate
ly heavy soil nearly the same results
when used alone as when used with the
salts of potash, soda, and Magnesia.
He is of opinion that all clay soils con-
tain potash in a more or less soluble
state, which is made soluble by the &C
ton of other manures. Magnesia is
common to soil, and little salt in the
compost will supply both soda and
chlorine; and soda is in part an equiva-
lent for potash. The oottOn-growing
States have so long used commercial
manures that their farmers fully under
stand how to apply them; and the opin-
ion is now fixed that concentrated chem
icals have no effect on poor land, ex-
hausted of all vegetable matter; hence,
the plan now is to compost chemicals
with farm-yard dung, muck, bone-dust,
salt, plaster, &c. The following formula
is from farmer who has had great sue
cess from It's application year after year:
No. l, fresh, unexposed stable dung,
200 pounds; No. 2, nitrate of soda, 40
pounds; No. 3, sulphate of ammonia, go
pounds; No. 4, common salt, 30 pounds;
No. 5, bone-dust, one barrel; No. 6, land
plaster, one barrel; No. I, hard wood
ashes, one barrel. Dissolve 2, 3, and 4
in a barrel of water, and sprinkle it on
the stable dung, spread it on a tight
floor 8 or 10 inches thick, stir it well,
add and and mix it well together;
then sprinkle on the ashes and shovel
all in a heap to heat and ripen ready for
use. 1t costs but S13 80 per ton with
out the stable dung, and $50 to 800
pounds, with Is bushels of cotton seed.

Alexander the Great in China.

After Alexander had made war against
PaOr, he marched against the Emperor
of China. The monarch did not cOnsid-
er himself equal to the conflict, and
went in disguise to the Grecian camp.
He was discovered and brought to Alex
ander, who asked how he could act in
such manner. The Emperor replied :
az was anxious to see you and your
army. | could have no fear on nv own
account, as I knew was not an object
of dread to Alexander; besides, if he
were to Stay me, my subjects would in
stantly raise another king to the throne.
But of this have no fear, as I am salts
fed that Alexander can never be dis
pleased with an action that shows q
solicitude to obtain his friendship"
The Conqueror was completely over
come by this truly Chinese fattery, and
concluded treaty by which China was
spared, on condition of paying tribute.
The Emperor returned to his capitol to
make preparations for the entertainment
of his great ally; and the third day he
returned with an army, the dust of
which announced its great numbers,
which made Alexander prepare his force
for battle. When both lines were oppo-
site, the Emperor of China, with his
ministers and mobiles, alighted and went
towards the Grecian prince, who asked
him why he had broke his faith.
~ wished" said the Emperor, to
show the number of my army, that you
might be satisfied l made peace from
other motives than an inability to make
war. 1t was from consulting the stars
that l have been led to submit. The
heavens aid you, and war not with
them"
Alexander was so gratified that he re-
leased the Emperor from paying tribute

Be Your Own Right Hand Man.

People who have often been bolstered
up all their lives are seldom good for
anything in crisis. When misfortune
comes, they look around for somebody
to cling to or lean upon. If the prop
is not there, down they go. Once down,
they are helpless as a capsized turtle,
and they cannot find their feet again
without assistance. Such persons do
not resemble men who have fought
their way to position, making difficulties
their stepping-stones and deriving deter
mination from defeat, no more than vines
resemble oaks, or spluttering flashlights
the stars of heaven. Efforts persisted
into achievements train man to self
reliance; and when he has proven to
the world that he can trust himself, the
world will trust him One of the best
lessons father can give his son is this :
Work; strengthen your moral and
mental faculties as you would strength
en- your muscles: by vigorous exercise.
Learn to conquer circumstances you
are then Independent of fortune. The
men of athletic minds, who left their
mark on the years in which they lived,
were all trained in a rough school.
They did not mount to their high posi-
ton by the help of leverage they leap
ed the chasm, grappled with the oppos-
ing rocks, avoided ayalanches, and
when the goal was reached, felt that
but for the toll that had strengthened
them as they strOve, it could never have
been obtained.

Growth of Corn.

While the accidents of season.
modify all our crops more or less, no
other crop is so sensitive to meteorolog-
ical influences, or varies so far either
above or below the average, as this one.
Requiring an elevated temperature,
long continued, those delightful cool
nights which sometimes come to make
our crest real real refreshment, are
inimical to the corn. The weather must
be sultry hot, to make it do its best,
and grow on the (" jump" so that the
early frosts may not catch it I" soft. ;"
From the day when the seed is buried,
to the day when the ear hangs ripe,
corn is the best epitome of steady,
active pushing business, to be found in
the care of the husbandman. Given
only favorable conditions, and growth
ensues which is a marvel of activity,
and a wonder in it's immense economi-
al results.
From one seed we may get from l 200
to 2,400 or more, and that too inside a
hundred days from planting, and beside
all that, from an acre from three to four
tons of valuable rough feed, if we
choose to utilize it. To grow the great
plant sometimes fifteen to eighteen feet
high, with a rOotage of scores of yards
in length, and to ripen up thousand
fold or more seed, is surely a sturdy
100 days labor. But there must be no
delays, or hindrances in the way, or
poor maize will suffer. IL can not wait
day, much less week for needed cul-
trre, but must suffer if lacking any of
the many conditions favorable to
growth. GA day lost can never be re-
gained is never more true than in the
corn-tield, for each of the days of the
plants short life has its work, and the
excuses for neglect which may be very
satisfying to our own minds will never
weigh an atom in favor of corn crop.
There must be fearful amount of
this neglest of corn in these United
States too, for we learn that the general
average is for 1868 a yield of "a. bush
els per acre; for 1869 a yield of 235
bushels per acre; for 1870 yield of 49,
bushels per acre; while the State aver
ages range from 80 bushels per acre in
South Carolina in 1870, to 48.4 bushels
per acre i'll Kansas in 1869.

Discovery of Buried Cities in Africa

Recent discoveries in the South Afri-
can republic of Transvaal have led to
the supposition that at one time the
east coast of South Africa was inhabi-
ted by race of men who were in the
enjoyment of great wealth and far adj
vanced in the arts of civilization. The
ruins of several buried cities which have
been discovered and partially explored
have yielded specimens of ancient ar
chitecture which have evidently the
works of a civilized and refined people.
The ruins of the ancient cities, situa-
ted on farm near Bloemhof, on the
banks of the Vaal, are to be thoroughly
explored, and the results of the excava-
lions already made are such as to excite
deep interest among archeolOgists. In
another buried city, which is being ex-
plored by Herr Mauch, the ruins cover
an area of at least two square miles.
The walls of this city, were thirty feet
high and eighteen feet tick, built of
blocks of hewn stone, laid i'll cement
which is as hard and durable as the
stone itself. Within the walls iron wa
ter-pots have been found, and vases with
ornamental handles. It is supposed
that the inhabitants of these cities in
these day utilized the rich mineral re-
sources of Transvaal, as there are nu-
merous mines within the limits of the
republic which were evidently worked
in former ages, but have been long
abandoned.
A Mr.. Guzman, who is promoting the
organization of company for the con-
struction of n railroad from Pretoria to
Delagoa bay, says that near the Limpo-
po river he found one hundred and six
tv pits which had been worked for min
erals. He recently exhibited at the
diamond fields specimens of ores taken
from these pits which were very rich,
and included copper, tin, silver, bis
muth, cobalt, nickel and quicksilver
Alluvial and quarts gold has been found
in different places in Transyaal, but re-
ports differ as to the richness of these
deposits.

Chinese Farming in Arkansas.

The Memphis appeal gives an ac-
count of the success of five Cinnamon
who hired one hundred acres of land
near that city in Arkansas, of which
sixty were cultivated in cotton, and
forty in corn. They plowed the ground
seven times before planting, and their
crops and fence corners are as clear of
weeds and grass as the best kept gar
den. Any amount of land is now at
the service of these people for rent, if
they desire it. They have enjoyed ex-
cellent health in districts where white
laborers would be sick from swamp
miasma. Their clean cotton is admired
in Memphis by dealers.
