Business Prospects.

, It does not require much observation to note
the growing disposition among the farming
community 10 ecouomise in their purchases
Throughout the present season there has been
afalling off in sales of merchandise, especially
in the items of luxury, or what may be regard
ed outside of prime articles of necessity.
M.ny predicted that the sales would increase
with the new year, when goods might be OBJ
,tained on longer credit; but we are inclined
20 believe that there is deep rooted convic-
ton In the minds of the people, which operates
10 decrease their extraordinary demands, so to
speak, and connne their purchases 10 more
limited extent, with view TO diminishing
their Indebtedness. This state Of things argsss
fSsosably for the entire community, and indi-
eates i return to old-fashion methods Of doing
businese. which must tend to re-establish con-
6dence between ali classes of the people. Up
On tho farming community at last depends the
soiidity and soundness of every interest, and
unless the farmers are securely placed upon q
sound basis, there can be no permanent or en-
during prosperity for the country. The FIRST
stap in this direction is to reduce the immense
volume Of Indebtedness now hanging over the
heads of those engaged in farming operations,
and TIE sursst means of accomplishing that
desirable end is to economise in their outlays.
Too much credit has been extended, and the
farmers IS general rule have been too eager TO
avail themselves of these facilities. 1t has
worked injuriously to all parties concerned,
and the low price of cotton this season has
forced some reflection upon the consequences
Of plungipg headlong into debt. The time
hiss arrived for all classes TO pause in career
20 reeklessly pursued in the past, and mediate
seriously to what end the country will surely
eome. unless change is effected soon. Bank
tnntcy and ruin are not far distant, unless
greater economy is exercised, and moro caution
displayed in the contraction of debts. The
farmers generally are hardworking, industrious
citizens, seilipg from one years end to the
other. and striving to make both ends meet,
but often without success. The all-cotton the
o,v ba. deluded hundreds and thousands, but
ON ;nsatiate desire to obtain credit has de-
s.royed as many more. The improvement al
ready observed in this respect is commendable
90 far as it goes, and upon the practice of econ
omy in the future will depend the solvency of
q large portion of the farmers. By raising less
cotton and making more provisions, by having
corn-crihs and smoke-houses well-filled at home
instead of hundreds of miles away, and BY a
rigid and systematic economy in all things, the
farmers may confidently expect speedy and
permanent improvementin their financial con-
dition.

GUANAHANI GUANO,

AN important natural Guano-a genuine AMI
NAL Deposit. A Cargo Of 500 tons now on the
way to this port. This Guano gave great salts
faction in Virginia and North Carolina the past
season. Circular and certificates sent on appli-
cation.
Prof. Wilson, of Baltimore, Nd, says Of this
Guano: "By q critical examination Of the
analysis of the various cargoes you have inn
ported, striking feature is the great regularity
in the percentage of the important constituents
essential for the production Of all crops"
Prof. F. A. Genth, Of Philadelphia, Penn,
says: ''The Guano is evidently Of animal
original and the minute bones which were dis
covered in the same indicate that it is the result
Of the decay Of bats, mice, &c. The quantity
of organic matter which Is still present is about
IL per cent, and this yields about q per cent.
of ammonia. portion of the nitrogen Is
present as nitric acid, Of which about per
cent. were found: All the nitrogen present
would be equivalent to about 81 per cent. Of
ammonia. The phosphoric acid in the Guano
averaged about l21 per cent, equal to N.3 per
cent Of Bone Phosphate. A considerable quan-
tity of the phosphoric acid, however, is present
as so-called neutral Phosphate Of Lime, which,
being slightly soluble In water, renders the
Guano as quick in its action as corresponding
quantity of Superphosphates would do. The
small per centage Of potash which was found in
analysis adds TO its value. From all the ex-
periments which I have made Of the GUIANA
haai Guano no doubt can exist that 1t Is yalu-
Prof. Fl. c. White, of the Georgia State As-
ricultural Society, says: "As shown by the
ANALYSIS, this Guano contains, in good proper
ton, all the elements which are generally con-
sidered as Of value for plant food, and the
forms and combinations in which they are
present ara such as to render them available to
and assiInilable by the plant. I should judge
that the proper use of this article for purposes
of fertilization would be attended with great
profit"
Prof Charles o. Shepard, IT,, in a recent
analysis Of this Guano, says: "This Guano (of
animal origin) would appear from its physical
and chemical properties to answer every rea-
sonable expectation Of commercial manure"

A CHEAP WEATHER-G

Take a glass jar, such as is used to can
fruits, and fill it with water within two or
three inches Of the brim. Then take a
pint olive-oil flask or bottle, with a long
neck, and, after cleaning it thoroughly
with saleratus and water. turn it upsid e
down into the jar. Should the weather
be fair, the water in the neck of the flask
will remain about half an inch above the
level; but il 1t inclines to rain the water
sill rise in the neck, and as the atmos-
phere grows heavy it will continue to rise
as much as two or three inches in few
hours. This is desirable invention for
the farmer, because its cost is tride, it
gives no trouble. the water does not re-
quirc changing, and outdoors or indoors,
heat OF cold are alike immaterial. In
frosty weather, however, it should not be
exposed to too great degree Of cold, for
if the water should freeze it would break
the jar. Of course, this simple little APP.
paratus will not show with scientific pre-
cision the amount Of mois ,ure in the
atmosphere, as barometer does yet
the warning of an approaching storm will
be given by the rise of the water in the
neck Of the flask. and domestic arrange
ments and farm work may be directed by
its aid, to the benefit of both the house
wife and farmer.

CUT WORMS.

If balls Of fresh clover or other green
grass be scattered throughout the field,
the cut worms are said to be attracted to
them and crawl into them where they can
be easily destroyed. But this cannot be
entirely effected, especially on sandy LAM
badly infested, and close watch must be
kept and whenever traces of their work
are seen, they must be dug out and kill
ed. With early tomatoes and other early
crops, which would justify the expense,
have saved the crop by scraping away the
dirt at the surface, and applying from a
pepper box Paris green, mixed with -four
or plaster, Under this treatment, though
many plants are attacked, yet little dam
age is done. Tomatoes in particular,
when eaten half off, do not seem to suffer
much from it.-Root'S Manual.

WHEN TO VEST CROPS

Just when to harvest crops in order to
get the most profit from them, says the
Ohio Farmer, is a question of consider
able Importance to every man who is en-
gagged in their production. If there be a
difference in the value of crop or grass
resulting from the stage of growth or con-
dtion Of ripeneSs at the time it is harvest
ed, it is of advantage to every producer
to understand the difference and the cause
ofthe difference. As it is a question 10 be
determined by experiment entirely, it is
worth the attehtion of farmers to inquire
what has been the result of such trials as
have been made to determine this ques-
ton. In an experiment made for this
express purpose of throwing light upon
this subject, three plants of wheat of
equal extent, cut at different stages of
ripeness, yielded of grain as follows:
Cut twenty days before it was ripe, 100
lbs; cut ten days before it was ripe, 900
lbs; cut when fully ripe, 206 lbs.
From this it will be seen that that which
was cut ten days before complete ripeness.
gave eleven pounds, or five per cent. more
gain than the equal plat cut at full ma
turity. Allowing field to yield at the
t.
this would be equivalent to saving Of one
bushel per acre in the simple act of cut
ting ten days earlier. But not only is the
yield increased by this early harvesting
the percentage of the -four, bran, etc., is
also affected by the difference in time of
harvesting. The following exhibits the
difference in -four. bran, and waste from
equal quantities of wheat cut at different
times:
20 days before ripe, -four 74.7 bran, etc,
253; 10 days before ripe, -four; 79.1 !;
bran, etc., 20.6; when fully ripe, -four,
72.2., bran ETC., 27.S.
Here the difference is in favor of both
the early cuttings, being as much as per
cent. between that cut at full maturity
and that at ten days before. This, is a
crop Of 20 bushels per acre. would be a
saving Of As bushels. Still another ben
eft growing out of early harvesting Is
found in the different portions of the glu-
ten and water contained in the -four The
more gluten and the less water it contains.
other things being equal, the more valua-
bic it is. In the above experiment, the
different cuttings contained these con.
Stituents in the following proportions !:

ANTIDOTE TO STRYCHNIA.

The Journal of Applied Chemistry
says it is asserted that salad oil, prompt
" applied. is an antidote to strychnia
The remedy has not been tried on ren.
but on dogs half pint of oil is said to be
sufficient to prevent fatal results. The
late James F. Reed. Esq, of San Jose,
California, some years ago assured US
that he relied upon lard as an antidote,
and had, by its administration, saved the
lives of dogs and other animals on more
than one occasion. The people of Cal.
ifornia employ strychnia to kill the
gophers, and thus the dogs and other an
imals are liable to be poisoned.-Er-

A CHEAP CISTERN

A cheap way to construct cistern is
to make box two feet square and two
and one half feet long. and sink it two
feet in the ground. Digging is then be-
gun at the bottom Of the box. the earth
raised through it, and an egg-shaped cav
lty made. Care must be had not to make
the cavity SO wide as to allow the earth
to cave in On the workmen. If the soil
is hard. and there is no presence of water
towards the cistern, it can be made very
good by plastering with water lime and
cement. 4 good cover should be put on
the top of the box, and pump put in
the cistern.-Country Gentleman.
