Cotton Seed as q Fertilizer.

EDITOR REGISTER l read an ar"
ticle in your valuable paper of date
of March 1S on "Home-Made Fer
rilizers." over the signature Of "B.
B. r." of Aiken, S. G. He con-
demns the use of commercial fer:
tilizers, because they leave the land
sin far worse condition than it
was before planting" He substi-
tutes cotton seed meal in place of
the commercial fertilizer, and says
that "this will improve the land and
give strength for the next years
crop" I endorse everything he has
stated concerning the commercial
fertilizer, unless the rotation system
is adopted. and then l think they
can be used to increase the growing
crop without detriment to the land.
I would prefer the cotton seed
meal, but can't see how the land
would be much benefited, after a
growing crop. unless there was a
great deal of it applied to the land.
From 184S to 1861 I used cotton
seed as a manure for cotton every
year with great advantage, whilst
ny brother farmers were using
Peruvian guano. During that time
I averaged FIVE bales of cotton to
the hand every year. This fur
nished me with great many seed
as manure, and planting more than
half the corn crop on bottom land
not requiring the cottonseed. | used
them as q fertilizer for cotton by
running a deep furrow and drilling
in the seed at the rate offrom fifteen
to twenty bushels per acre and COW
ering them up with a very heavy
lap. This was done from February
Is to March 20, and at times until
April l. I now use cotton seed and
acid phosphate by putting the seed,
in its green state, in the furrow and
strew on it the acid and cover up
with q heavy lap. I have had bet
ter results from this mode than COM
posting or with any fertilizer 1 have
ever used. except stable or compost
manure. 1t will make less stalk and
more fruit by lasting through the
season, which is not always the case
with soluble marures. But the ques-
ton arises. can you improve land
permanently without adopting the
rotation system and the blowing un'
der of green crops, with the exclu'
sion of cattle from the eating OF
every vestige of vegetable matter
left from the growing crop. / have
been taught that it requires humus
or vegetable matter to restore cx-
hausted land to its original fertility.
I have often thought to enclose a
field, (say ten acres,) protect it
against washing off, include cattle
and plant in cotton every year; re-
turn all the seed to the land, except
enough to plant in cotton again, and
follow this plan up for a series Of
years. If the land was not greatly
improved. it would still produce
remunerative crops and not be i'm
poverished, as many farmers think
it is done BY the indiscriminate use
of the commercial fertilizers. Let
us have the opinion Of our best
farmers on the subject.-J. NJ. G.

Sioux POINTER.

THIS is the way they take hold Of
things in that thriving 60 ahead city of
Sioux Falls:
The county commissioners at their re.
cent session raised the license on saloons
from $50 to $500 a year. The village
license is afso $500 = year, 80 the vendors
of "but1ge" must come down with $3.50,
including the government license, before
they can proceed with their traffic. This
action ON the part of tie powers that be
creates some vigorous kicking, but the
commissioners, the village dads and the
red ribbonites are confident Of their pow
er, and compIacently ask what are you
goi"g to do about itg"-Cor. Ydskton
