absorbent of ammonia and moisture in
the soil, it furnishes lime and sulphur.
The nominal value of this ton of ma
uure 10 NJ follows.

600 lbs. Acid Phosphate l2oO
100 lbs. Landplaster. $4,000 .............-.-. Luz
To,,I .SlS.37
For corn or cotton, as ordinarily cul-
tivated, not less than five hundred
pounds to be applied per acre. A market
gardener would apply ton or more and
find it profitable.
In removing the manure from the box
the surface layer of earth should be
mixed with the lower layers. Manure
composted as above is as easy of appli
cation as a commercial fertilizer, which
would not be the case if stable manure
entered into the compost, for it would
make it bulky and lumpy too, unless
thoroughly pulverized before using.
As stable manure is chiefly valuable
for the ammonia that is in it, there
is no need for its going into a compost,
where cotton seed is the basis. If the
supply of cotton seed is limited of course
it can he used, but ordinarily it is more
economical perhaps to manage it sepa-
rately and in such manner as to require
only one handling. Now that the
country is divided up into small farms
and only few stock kept, the accumu-
lation of stable manure is not great on
any one farm, and the best use it can be
put to, is in manuring the garden in the
fall, where it may be hauled out and
broadcasted and lightly narrowed in.
However large the quantity Of stable
manure, put it in the garden, charging
the garden if necessary to receive it. A
rich garden of one acre we'll managed is
worth more to farmer than five acres
of cotton, and he can afford to treat it
literally.
Of course it is not necessary that cot
ton seed should be composted in order
| that full value IS a manure should be
| realized. But where it is designed to
use it as manure for quickly maturing
plants and to be applied at time Of
planting, it is advantageous to decompose
it with other substances that will absorb
the ammonia and present it in soluble
form for immediate use. YEA.

FOOD PROJECTION IN THE SOUTH.
New Orleans Times

New Orleans Times.
From the indications king cotton is
not only tyrannical monarch, but one
whom heretofore loyal subjects are de-
termined to overthrow. In Mississippi
his claim to exclusive possession of the
soil for years has been disputed, but re-
cent indications develop the fact that his
sway as monopolist has been termin-
ated nine planters in ten seem to have
concluded that the cultivation of cotton,
to the exclusion of every other commodi-
ty, is simply ruinous. The prospects are
that not only will the corn crop of this
year be largely increased but that for the
first time in its history will the state be
independent of the western packer.
So great was the interest felt in the
cultivation of meat that at the last ses-
sion of the Mississippi legislature bill
passed making the stealing of hogs a
penitentiary offence. 1t was unquestion-
ably constructed into a political meas
ure, designed to involve the negro, and
qoted by the late governor; but should
the general assembly be called in extra
session it will undoubtedly become law.
Mississippi planters have at length real
lied that food products are prerequisites,
and that farmers first duty is to pro-
vide for his family, his employees and his
animals. Whatever surplus time or land
remains may well be devoted to the great
staple; but rather than sacrifice prime
necessities, every other crop should be
abandoned. No such contingency is,
however, expected. Were the seasons
carefully watched and the time fully &C.
cupied, ample opportunity would be
afforded, not only to raise meats and
breadstuffs, but even the ordinary crop
of cotton. The planter in that event
would enjoy this advantage, that instead
of being compelled to mortgage his grow
ing crop, and add to the price of food
consumed, commissions and freight,
every pound of the staple raised would
be his private property. He can send it
to market or hold it for better prices at
his option, and at the same time, in the
former event, possess collateral upon
which he could borrow any reasonable
sum. When the farmer learns to pro-
cure the most necessary articles first, he
will indeed be on the road to prosperity.

Africa is, however, now the great point

"Fixes the population of the country
at about two and half millions, and
says that the surface elevation of the
land is from west to east, with an eleva-
ton of from one thousand to one thou

from the eastern heights, falling into the
two principal rivers, the Kafa and Peaka.
The country is divided into seven prov
inces; the religion is Mohammedan, and
the king, whose power is arbitrary, is
looked upon as a sort of divinity. The
kings harem consists of about five hum
dred wives, and all his sons, except the
heir to the throne, are blinded with hot
irons, duty performed by the king of
the smiths, who is also the surgeon of
the harem. The people are skillful

purpose. and any man upon whose prem
