While it is true that all fanners will
readily admit that no soil, however
naturally good, can t>c kept in a stale
of fertility and capabla of producing
heavy crops, without the yearly application
ot fertilizers in some form ; yet
the great majority do not take as much
pains to collect and save the manure
made on their farms as they should,
and probably would, if they could J?e
made to realize its full value. Instead
of plowing and sowing and working
over a large number of acres, year alter
year, with the application ol little or
no manure, as many do, and then at
harvest, working and traveling over
this largo area of land, to gather a
small crop, the better way is to take
a smaller piece of land and manure it
highly, till it thoroughly, \md have the
satisfaction of harvesting a large crop.
To this all manure should be carefully
applied. It is a common, but bad prac
lice, lor fanners to throw the manure
from their stables into the open air, lor
the spring rains to leach out the
strong'.I), and for the hot summer situ
to burn. Slut il the (aimer is so situated
as to be unable to provide a shelter
for the manure, much of the evil
resulting fiom its exposure to the open
air, can be obviated by drawing a few
loads ot soil from the woods, or rotten
wood, or dry sods, or, where it can he
cheaply obtained, sawdust, and keeping
the manure-heap constantly cover
ed a few inches deep with such materials.
Common soil will do very well,
it these substances cannot be obtained
readily. Leaf mould from the woods,
or any of the substances mentioned,
should be daily scattered over the towyards
to absorb the liquid manure,
which is much more valuable than the
solid portions, and also to prevent the
ammonia troin escaping. Many Farmers
have
JtliAL MIXER OK WEALTH
in their swamps and lowlands, the soil
of which is composed mainly of rotten
leaves, trees, and the ( grass and weeds
that liaye grown and decayed upon
them, as well as very line mineral and
animal substances which have washed
ml A t Iwid /1/nie/ioaiAiia I IIA
Ill wvF \j IILDU VlV'j'l vooiv;ijo liv/lll I I I V" II J j
lands. Such swamp soil is therefore
very rich, and when drawn out and exposed
to the action of the atmosphere,
and a small quantity of lime mixed
with it, the compost will make manure
nearly equal in value to that obtained
horn the stables.
A heap of dry leaf mould or (mo rotten
wood, can be easily accumulated,
upon which the suds from the washtub
and all tire slops l'rom the dwellinghouse,
should be thrown. Hones, fishheads
and scales, refuse of vegetables,
and many other substances, especially
all contarnintr salt, should be lurried
in this heap, and additions to the heap
can be made from time to time, as the
farmer has leisure. In this way, a
heap of the best manure will soon be
obtained. Many thing besides those I
have ment'oned, and which are generally
wasted, can be saved with a little
labor.
Farmers, feed your lan 1 well, and it
will not fail to feed you in return.

Turnip Crop.
There is no crop that the farmer can
put in the ground that pays him heller
than the turnip. We are aware that
with some persons it is looked upon as
of little account; but it has never re
ceiveu the consideration to which it is
really entitled ; and those who turn
their noses at it are not genuine farmera.
It is a crop, moreover, that is put in
at a time when the hurrying work of
the season is over, and it occupies
ground that lias been u^ed for something
else. The cultivation, also, say
of from one to two acres of turnips, in
volvea comparatively little labor. The
crop, too, m harvested in November,
when there is almost no labor on the
farm to interfere with it.
As to the variety of need to sow, wo
believe there is no turnip equal to tlu
purple top. A top dressing of bone
manure is almost indispensiblo to an
abundant crop.
For an early crop take the early flat
Dutch and sow broadcast early in July,
' 'he purple top for the regular farm
crop. This should be soweil in drill*
thirty inches apart, and when the turnips
are the size oi hickory nuts, thir
out to eight or ten inches apart in tin
row. They seldom tail in affording ?
satisfactory crop. I ho crop can bo put
in the latter part of July or the firsl
half of August.

| The commercial statements of the
j business of Charleston, are a forcible i
and convincing rcjilv to the occasional
, report*, cliiotly circulated hy correspondents
of the Xormorn press, thai
t-his city, in a business sense, is in a
moribund condition. Our carefully j ;
prepared tahular statements show that ]
I trade is healthy and vigorous, and in j
all its branches, steadily increasing in ]
volume. This progress is eminently | .
encouraging, both on account of its j
magnitude and regularitv.

During the year ending August 31st,
Charleston received 343,179 bales of j
upland cotton, and 11,001 bales of sen
islands, against 100,21 1 bales of upland, !
ami 55li3 bales of sea islands receivid
in 1 OOo-h.lo, the lirst yearaltei the war.
The receipts of uplands, there-lore, have
been more, than trebled in live years.
Last year 207,7 12 bales ol'uplands were
received, so that the receipts of 1071
are 14 per cent, larger tban the receipts
ol 1870. In rice there is a similar improvement
, the receipts being 12,080
tierces lor 1 h70?,71, against 38,528
tierces for lOOO-^O. In naval stores
and lumber there is a satisfactory advance.
The export s ol lumber for 1870
-'71 are 15,707,011 feet, against 12,130,071
lor ISOO-'YO?a gain of over
25 per cent. The exports of naval
stores lor 1870-'71 are 02,988 barrels,
against 78,090 m the preceding year-a
gain of about 20 percent. The phosj
phatc business Iuih, also, assumed very
large proportions. I hiring the year just
closed, the export of South Carolina
phosphates amounted to 35,530 tons
against 30,802 tons in 1870, and 20,000
tons in 1800. Last season was one ot
the most favorable ever known for
fruits and vegetables. There were
shipped, 10 New \cik alone, 15,157
barrels of potatoes, and 35,252 packages
of vegetables, against 11,0 11 barrels
of potatoes and 15,350 packages of
vegetables in the season ol 1870. Large
quaiilit ies, showing a like increase, were
shipped to J'hihuk Iphia and Baltimore
and by the Northeastern Uuilroad.
Besides the business in cotton, rice,
lumber, naval stores, phosphates, and
iruitsand vegi tables, Charleston boasts
ol a flourishing jobbing trade representing
many millions of capital. The estimated
sales during the year were as

A IfrumcANR of Stovks.- In Znrate,
a city of the Argentine Uepublie, t here
I happened on the sth of June last a
1 frightful hurricane with stones. The '
Cordova I'rcnsa describes i' as follows.
It was about half-past 1 A. M ; the
atmosohere without the slightest
' breeze? and suffocating. The. clouds i
went on slowly accumulating in great ;
' masses in the west ; 5 A. M. struck,
1 when a dii'l yet frightiull sound was
heard far oft* the westward. A minute
' after the storm broke in an awful form.
It began whhasound like the discharge
1 of heavy artillery, with lightning. The
'* Pampero wind swept over with units
ual violence and fury, bringing with it
1 a cloud of stones, such as had never
been seen before. These stones were
1 as big as goose eggs, fell everywhere,
very fc w being as small as thai of a
t pigeon's. Houses, huts and roofs of all
sorts snft*ered terribly; some were
r knocked over, others unroofed, and all
| injured. Not a |>a??? of glass or a pub1
j lie lamp survived unbroken, and many
i were carried a great distance by the
force of the wind. Buildings exposed
1 to the fury of the blast looked as if a
? ritie corps had been doing their beat
1 against them. Many animals were re^
ported killed, and one woman and
child.

The Newark (N.J.) Advertiser, and
nearly all the other journal*, aver that
lho original report that Dr. f(. T. I ltd inl>ohl,
of huchu tame, had attempted
suicide, was substantially tnt , notwithstanding
the doctor's denial. The
Advertiser says "his failure weakens
our confidence in shot guns as a deadly
weapon," and adds :
"lie borrowed a gun at the Arcade
Hotel, and going about a mile from t he
Branch, he alighted from the carriage,
and stepped a short distance, placed
the hut of the gun on the ground and
the muz/.lo under his chin. Being a
very short man, ho had to stretch to
reach the triggt r, and in doing this the
muzzle of the gun was thrown on one
side, and the eharge passed alongside*
his lace, merely singing it. The colored
driver immediately ran toward
tho doctor, hut before ho could reach
him the doctor had emptied the second
barrel in the same manner. Not being
injured by either charge, the colored
man then got him into the carriage and
and drove back to the Arcade, wbera
the doctor washed the powder from his
face and drove home. Of course ho
was immediately interviewed ty the
inevitable reporter, and ho tells one of
the queerest of queer stories. 4TI?o fact
is,' said he, 'I went out with the intention
of hunting those little snipe, and
is I was going up in the carriage I got
blue all of a sudden, and I thought.
i\ hat's the* use of living this way any
Ion nor? and with that I just lot go
both barrels. You see I have done :i
good deal of advertising lately, and
have a good many engagements to
moot , and I felt nervous. It all came
over me in a minute.' The Doctor expatiated
at length on the causes that
led to this lata I determination, and denied
that he had heen drinking heavily
ol late. iMrs. 1 lelmhold joined heartily
in the denial, 'lie's not hecn dissipating
at all,' said she, 'but he's bothered uboul
business matters.' "

Wavk.?"One of the most terrible of
the appaling ealamities that have lately
occurred in those quarters of the globe
which are subject to great convulsions
of nature is reported from the f>ita\in
papers by t ho cable. A small island
in the Malay archipelago, known as
Tagalonda, was swept by a wave forty

that Crusoe Wand adventure again.
This Sun.t-A large portion of the
huii's surface is again covered by spots.
Yesterday there was nearly a circular
spot not far from the centre, and four
other clusters distributed around it, in
trapc/.iuiu form, each being not far
from uiblwaj between the centre and
the ciivumlerence,. Three of these clusters
were composed of several spots
each, and one containing more than a
dozen ?f them, suul resembling a huge
cake of honey .comb. A very small
telescope, fitted with colored glass,
shows all these spots distinctly. ? Chifllili.
