RELEASED ON His Own REcoGSI-

following story: fs
A planter of this county, when out in
field the other day, lung his coat over
fence near the public road and went to
work. Soon aftcrward negro came
along the road and saw the coat, and
waiting his opportunity, hoped over
the fence, secured the coat and returned
to the road. Just as he leaped over the
fence with the coat the planter spied him
and gave pursuit. Being in his shirt
sleeves and swift of foot, lie soon caught
tbs, thief and recovered the coat. "What
did you do with him?" we asked. "Well
sir" replied the planter just turned in
and whaled himlike HI, and released

Facts About Fertilizers Wanted.

We Want reliable nformation-facts
collected on the plantation by thorc who
have failed,as well as those who have
succeeded. Analysis is of no use to us;
formulas and fancy facts are not what we
want. The only security the planter has
is the whole truth being published, and if
those who use the various fertilizers
would frankly and faarlessly come out
with their results at the close of the wear
in the Agricultural Press, it would save
many dollar to the planter, and at the
some time prove the greatest check upon.
adulteration. We must stand by each
other. Individual expressions of opinion
amount to nothing: but if the, general
voice of the farmers is raised it becomes
serious warming, and will be sure to
attract attention. 2 sEs r -
1t is not to be expected that the manu-
facturers of fertilizers will publish their
failures. From their circulars we only
get one side of the question. We want
both. We are very willing for the
manufacturers to make good thing of
it, but not Mt our expense. Thereis no
doubt of the fact, that these commercial
Fertilizers pay better upon some charac-
ters Of soil than others-in some seas ons
better than others--that there is some
thing in the mode of'application and the
after ertreatment-thats something depends
upon the seasons. All these things
should be noted by planters and the
results published. We have taken new
departure in planting, and must try to
introduce moro order. The deficiency
and unreliability of our labor must be
compensated by more systematic manage
ment, better preparation Of our land, let
ter implements, labor-saving machinery,
and a careful registration of oar failures
as our snccesses. The young men who
have thefuture destiny of our agriculture
