| take the liberty of addressing
this communication TO YOU, in view
of the very ereditahle spirit OF en-.
terprise manifested by your people
in their exertlonS To develop tue
resources of your locality, as shown
by the industries already created
hy them 4; aud my desire is TO sug.
eest one more subject which think
may be a very important industry
within their reach.
The pine woods lands bordering
on the Gulf are, as you are aware,
capable of being made very pro
ductiye with the aid OF fertilizers;
and nature has furnished the
means Of procuring the fertilizers
necessary ut You door. | allude to
tue mexhauStible supply which can
be obtained by utilizing for that
purpose the fish so abundant IN the
Gulf. A fertilizer OF great value
can lie manufactured from that
s)urce. There are places along the
coast, and seasons when any quan.
tity of fish can be caught with
seines. The fish SO caught are to
be thrown into u vat made OF wood,
and boiled With sea water by means
of steam pipes, and the boiling
continued until the fish are reduced
into pulp, the bones made Solt,
80 that all can he crushed and
mixed up. When this is done veg
etahle mold or earth is added t,
the mass, aud mixed with ii so as t
form paste or dough this is thel
made np by bands into round balls
and when partially dried, or a
any time the balls are ilattenet
down so as to form thin cakes an'
these cakes are dried in the sun ol

beach. or in siure-rooms till haru
Thpy are then broken up in pieces
aud hacked up in barrels for trans
portation. a very powerful iertlI
izer il thus obtained.
OF course fish of all kinds an'
sizes are proper for this purpose
and even sharks, when they can D
caught, are brought into play.
THIS fertilizer can be made Q
much greater value by the add
tiou of lime or ashes to the pul
while boiling. The oil of the ts
