371 cents per week, thus showing
that the value of the manure more
than coverstheswhole cost Of feeding.
We get these Statements from a
letter Of Conrad Wilson, in the New
York World. Prof Stockbridge, of
Massachusetts, discredits the state
ment by the very reasonable calcula-
ton that the solid excavations which
are credited to Mr.. Dana's cow more
than doubles the whole amount Of her
solid food. After making large abate-
ment, however, from these reported
results, there is no doubt that the
cost of the feed used in fattening cat
tie is very largely repaid in the value
OF the manure. 1t is accepted as Il
maxim in farm economy, that the best
way to market the products Of the
field is by turning them into the flesh.
We thus get the full value Of the food
consumed, and save the manure for
enriching our fields
4 sensible farmer remarked to us,
not long since, THE manuros YOU
bay are called commercial fertilizers
because they enrich the merchant;
the manures you make at home are
agricultural manures, because they
enrich the farmer. II is certainly
wiser economy to spend SO in home
made manure, when the animals which
make il repay the cost in flesh, tban
to c&pcnd 1t even Tor thv best com
mercial fertilizers, Better still, to
make thc iced at home, and thus
make both the meat and the manure,
without paying out amy money

Save Your SOdpSudS,

Who would throw away barrel
tull Of soft soap ora box of hard soap?
Were it not otherwise useful it
would be of great value as a fertilizer,
If spread, in its raw state, about our
fruit trees or berry bushes. But, after
being dissolved in water and passing
through the wash tub, cleaning the
impercoptible clements Of the best
manure from soiled linen, its tertiliz-
ing power is vastly increased. In
deed, we may almost say, that the av-
erage soapsuds from the kitchen and
laundry is worth more than the soap
which produces it. Do not, then, al
low your soapsuds to run away,
-Asasted, while Sou have trees which il
might benefit. t.-Er

The Cotton Picker,


A Charleston man claims to have
invented a machine by which cotton
can be picked at the rate Of one dollar
bale. While there seems to be no
limit to the inventive genius Of man,
We confess to considerable skepticism
in this instance; and the following
description of the machine does moi
serve to strengthen our faith in its
merits:
1t IS SO arranged that ebe driver,
leaning back in bis seat. can stop tie
picking in order to drigo away 20 the
unloading place. The machine is des-
oribed as having the SIC and weight
of . two-horse wagon. and is upon
three wheels, the center one running
bctU two rows, and the other tvs @
outside Of them. The two driving
wheels, from which j, worked the
machinery, are high enough to carry
everything above the cotton The
front wheel is about half the height,
and works on pivot ioint, to which
are attached the horses, which walk
between the rows The picking ma
chine consists Of two hundred finger
shaped cards on India rubber, work
ing up and down through the stalks
as the machine advances. These cards
will not take hold of anything but the
lint Of the open cotton, and takes that
whether it is on the ground or on the
top of the stalk. Leaves, twigs and
hulIs will not stick TO them, but the
cotton touched in ever SO little de-
gree instantly adheres, and will not
let 60 until pushed of the top by the
brusher 1t is taken on an apron of
bands, and deposited in receptacle
in the rear in light straight fern,

Home Sources Of Manure.

1t is stated, from an experiment
carefully made by Samuel f. Dana,
that a cow fed on daily ration Of
twenty-four pounds Of hay and twelve
and half pounds OF potatoes, will
yield. in addition to her liquid evacua-
tion, over $1,000 pounds OF dung per
year, containing 189 pounds Of am
monia, which, With other chemical
materials, amount in value to over
forty dollars. BY the same authority,
il appears that the liquid manure
amounts to over 1900 pounds per
anpum, and surpasses the solid dung
in value, iu the ratio OF two to one
This makes the total value OF the nIa-
nule equal to the cost Of feeding.
Josiab Quincy, Jr., found that Z
rood COW, when kept on the soiIing
system. yields three and d half cords
OF solid dung, and that the liquid ma
Dure, when absorbed with muck, is
worth more than the solid, making IN
aggregate Of more than fifteen cords,
worth from So 10 IS per cord

Peas as a Green Manure.

The value Of clover as a renovator
of the soil is well understood. There
is no trouble about restoring fertility
to . field, if it can be once we'll set in
clover. But on the light lands of the
South this IS impractieable; aud even
on those soils which are adapted TO
clover, where they are SO extremely
exhausted, as is the case with many
Of our lands in the cotton States. it is
impossible to get growth Of clover
The soil must be comparatively rich
to make clover sod We have,
however, in the COW Pea, substitute
for clover which will grow anywhere
in the South, and on soils too poor to
grow anything else, and this is the
great resource Of tho Southern farmer
for green manuring. Tie pea has,
moreover, this advantage, that it will,
the first year, make a much heavier
crop than clover, and there is thus a
saving Of time.
There are three modes Of using the
pea as manure crop: 1st. By plant
ing in corn land at the second plow.
ing Of corn, about q peck or a peck
and half to the acre, On land very
much worn, the spockled or whippoor-
will pea is most reliable; on soil of a
better character, those varieties
which produce more vino would be
better. Cultivated in this way, the
peas cannot be turned under green,
but the vines afford a covering to the
soil, and if allowed to rot upon the
ground in the fall, will furnish valu-
able coat ofmanure. I'd. P!antin drills
tive and Q half or three feet apart, in
May or June, about half bushel OF
seed 70 the acre and give them one
good plowing when they are large
enough to work. Sd. Break up the
land broadcast, and sow Gown two
bushels ct seed to the acre, and at the
same time two hundred pounds super.
phosphate Of lime and three bushels
Of land plaster, covering the whole
with a light plowing In the'fau turn
the whole crop under, ana sow down
in small grain
The pea, like the cloves, is a broad
leaved plant, and feed largely from
the atmosphere. 1t is, also, a deep
rooted plant, ike the clover, and

Sand Pear VS.. Oranges.

Discussing the Chinese sand pear,
the Quitman Reporter believes that
it's culture in Georgia would prove a
great source Of wealth to the State,
and would be in every way preferable
10 orange culture in Florida, Of which
so much is written. Says that paper:
owe had the pleasure of an interview
with Mr.. Varnadoe, who resides near
Thomasylle, last week at the fair, and
learned from him many things of in
terest and value in relation to the
sand pear-its history, and how it
was introduced and by whom first
planted in Georgia soil. Mr.. Varna-
doe gives it as his opinion that an
orchard Of this kind OF pear will, when
in fall Loaring, produce one thousand
bushels per acre, and that they can
bv proper treatment be brought to
till bearing in much shorter time
than any pear known To this country.
He sold his pears last year in New
Yorl, at about 512 per bushel. He
saws that he has never known mildew
or blight on the trees, nor in any other
way has he ever known them to be-
cQ.ne diseased, being free from all IN

nostrils, they are suffering iroru what
is known as roup, 1t is simply ca
tarrh, and is the consequence Of the

in Other animals. IF they are kept
dry and warm, and their roosts are
well ventilated there will be no ca

afterward battle the eyes aud nostrils
