AMMoNIATED MANUREs.-Lct farmers
beware how they purchase ammonia lated ma
nures. When we who live in wooded and
cotton-growing country buy aninrsuia; we
commit as great a folly as buying coal to
carry to New Castle. This ingredient in
the manures we use is costly and constant
ly escaping. We have the material with
us to produce it in sufficient quantities and
at cost far less than what we now pay for
it. 10 do this requires some management
and industry. Let us inquire how much
of this costly ingredient is necessary for Il
good fertilizer. Experience il this, as in
most matters pertaining to our calling, is
the best guide. y few years since We were
told that sixteen per cent. Of ammonia was
nccdet to make first class manure now
two and half to three per cent. next,
will answer, nonc-that is, buy none from
the manufacturer. | do not mean to say
that no ammonia is necessary to the growth
and development Of plants and their fruit,
but that we should not buy it. We have a
better and cheaper way to get it than that.
We have been taught by experience that
corn requires a different manure from cot
ton -; that one manure is not adaptc>. for all
plants. 1t bchoovcs us, then, to study
carefully this matter, SO that we may apply
our means and labor to the best advantage,
that nothing may be wastcd-'I" in Au-

Coal AsHEs.-Coal ashes as fertilizer
are said to be very beneficial for tomatoes
and potatoes, and to a less extent peas and
beans. Moreover, they improve the me-
chanlcal condition Of the soil. and arc there
fore especially beneficial to claycy and rigid
land generally. They should be worked in
deeply and uniformly in the proportion of,
say, one part of ashes to two Of mold As
it takes long time to dccomposc them
their tcrtilizing properties are slow in action,
but continuous. TO obtain the best advan-
tasc from their use, some other kind of
manure should be applied in conjunction
with them. AS there arc seldom enough for
field culture, the garden is the best place in
which to use them, and inasmuch as they
arc generally considered mere inconvcnicnt
refuse, all the advantage secured from their
use will be clear gain.--R"rm " Writer.

partn,cnt:
DEAR SIR At my last visit to Rio dc
Janelro, treatise on tea culture written in
Portuguese, was presented me by the author,
the priest superintendent of the Imperial
Botanical Garden. | was travelling in com.
pany with the Governor towards Grcenville
| District, when the death of Junius Smith
was rumored. | urged the Governor to de-
fleet from his route to inspect the tea plants,
and if il might he, in his official capacity,
instituted b Mr. Smith, promising ags ID saS6
case, to make a translation of the treatise
and send it to him. No steps however were
taken i'll that direction. In acknowledging
your communication, l reiterated the
promise to make the translation, for your
department. A prolonged unsuccessful
search among my papers for the treatise has
been one cause of the delay of this my an
swer.
Eighteen years ago some half dozen tea
plants, brought from China, were sent IN ?.
They were set in a soil friable, of medium
quality, unmanured. The war and its con.
sequences supervening, have coutcnted
myself with merely securing. a supply of
tea for my househo'r. Nothing has been
done beyond keeping down weeds with the
hoe. : No protection has been given the
plants, although during tho Hssh6enmmer,
seedlings hads some shelter, -.AS3st, there
has been no-damage>fro blighG Or from ID

moderation, from every part of the bush

prepare them for infusion, they arc ground

five inches and as you will perceive, exhi-
biting three varieties.
The capsules of the tea nuts afford the

This is the perfect climate for the tea

THE DOCTRINE o? NO IIELL.-It is GER
tain that the greatest of iniidels have at
tackled the existence Of Hell as prelim.
mary in getting rid Of the tremendous idea
of a God. 1t is only too apparent that in
spite of all assaults from philosophers and
philosophy, there is fixed in the human
mind the dread belief that if good deeds
shall merit hereafter place Of rcfrcshmcnt,
light and rcposc, the works of evil will
bring upon their authors scclusion from
happiness, banishmcnt from the abode of
virtue, and confinement to place where
the wicked never cease from troubling and
the weary never arc at rest. What appears
a complex proposition may be reduced to
very simple formulation If men are dcs-
pcratcly and deliberately intent upon evil
in this world without repentance or amend
mcnt, they will carry into another world
what they harvested here. If they hated
virtue here, they shall hate it hereafter
If they preferred association with sensual.
ity here, they cannot expect to keep compa-
ny with the pure hereafter They would
not be happy in such an atmosphere, if ad-
mittcd oit. They go to their places-placcs
ofthcir own selection, What those places are
may be conjccturcd but they cannot be
paradisical.-AyU&ia Chronich.
