A known and highly valuable Fer
tlllzers have now OIL hands u full supply
and will be glad to furnish such of their
customers as intend using them next
year. Every one remembers how diff
cult it was to get Guanos last Spring.
Many farmers lost several days of val
liable time in coming to town with their
teams. and not a few, alter several inef-
fectual trips, failed at last in securing
Fertilizers. TO obviate any further
trouble of this kind, and to enable plan
ters to take their Fertilizers. home when
they are marketing their Cotton, an
early supply has been ordered No one
can fail to See the advantage to be deriv-
ed by the saving of time in the Spring,
when every moment is valuable to the
farmer. The standard Of the Etiwan
Guanos remains the same it has always
been. No Fertilizers manufactured in
this country have q higher standing, or
are more generally used. If the acreage
in Cotton is, 10 be reduced another year,
land all will admit that there is too
much Cotton planted) the greater will
be the need for Fertilizers. Plant less,
but enrich your lands more, is the true
policy. .JlaH,.ss -... ...

VALUE OF GEESE AS FARM

To the cotton farmer, geese are
the most valuable Of ali domestica-
ted fowls. Ten gosiings are fully
equal to the best hoe-baud in the
cotton patch. They viii keep ten
acres OF ground perfectly elem Of
grass, II the ploughing is properly
done. The most careful hoe-hand
will bruise and skin cotton more
or less, but geese will carefully
pick all the grass from the young
cotton without injuring it in
the least. I am surprised that
farmers DO not make more and
better use OF them. They pay
for the keeping many times
over lin killing grass upon which
they fatlcn; are saleatle in
market, aud iaxury upon the Ia
ole. \ farmer in my neig borhood,
who know their value, was Offer
ing last spring four dollars a pair
for common geese, to pat III his
cotton field.
Since the war, have raised all
geese l could, conveniently, and,
principally, for the purpose Of
a0orhlng cotton. And more than
once, when it would have been
impossible for me to have saved
my crops with the labor at ms
coptrol. they saved it. | find
the large white Bremen not only
the most beautiful Of all the Va,
rietieS, but the best "workers" and
easily raised. lwould advise every
farmer,lo have his flock Of geese,
andspure Bremen, if he eau procure
them. They will work his cotton
we'll without watching, and will
save him good deal Of tedious
work or money. It is 4 beautiful
sight to see thirty or forty Bremen
geese in q field Of cotton carrying
their rows almost as regular as
: hoe.ltauds. Any farmer who plants
twenty orthirty acres OF cotton,
will never be without geese after
once testing their value. The
greatest .objectiensto them is that
they have not forgotten that
deatlueug quack with which their
.aucestors saved Rome. Any unu-
sual sight or noise about the pre-
misses. will pat the whole flock to
quacking.-L. Il. H., in the Planta-
