Jfaraers' ?rprtiitcnt. From thc Augusta Constitutionalist. FEKT1LLIZEKS. Great agricultural changes must noce. sarily attend tho revolution ot" our ancien? system cf labor. The lack ol" reliabl. workmen will compel planters to econo mise their force, cud the impover;?hmen of lands direct their energies toward suc-i recuperation and high culture as the CHM demands. The question narrows itseli down to the consideration of reaping something like tm average crop from fewer acres and by the employment of a com paratively small number of hands. Th? lands thus worn out must be diligent!} and summarily enriched, and further, si enriched os to make up in fertility for thi broad acres out of use. For example, i planter who has been accustomed to furn a thousand acres will, in the majority o; instances, confine himself to five hundred ; and whprc he sent sixty negroes to tin field reouce his maximum one-half. Hi great aim, under such pressure, wouh unquestionably be to produce as mud from the five hundred acres and thirt\ Imnds as ordinarily came from one thou sand acres and sixty negroes. At the firs blush, this would appear impossible, bu a little thought will convince any one tba it is not or.ly feasible but indispensable. How then shall the planter accomplit?!: his design1? We reply that it can bc don? with the aid of fertilizers, such as guan, and the super phosphates known to all. We have conversed with a number of in tclligent tillers of the soil and found t! a their practical experience coincides tho roughly with the theory advanced. N<-t only had their crops doubled in quanti: j by a judicious comminution of the dil fore. , manures with thc most stubborn soils, but the soils themselves had beei permanently benefited by the application. Say that a ton (2,000 lbs.) of r>o:ne goof super-phosphate costs$125. Dist ri but in: this over ten aotrs there would bc a yield of at least 1300 pounds of lint cutton It will not te hasty to calculate tho price of cotton, next season, at less than ii" cents per pound ; we opine that it wi; reach a higher figure, but this rate wi! answer our purpose. At 25 cents pe: pound this M ill bring $325. Deduct On cost ol' thc manure and a clear gain i: had of $200 per ten acres. We have, ii our estimate, considered only inditiercn* lands. As a matter of course, thi in crease #?11 be proportionally greater nc cording to thc superior quality of th? soil. That which is true of cotton i> equally irue of corn and other bread stuffs. The planter assuredly must exercise discretion in the purchase of proper foo*' for his land end be careful of its distribu tion. Observation and experience wili guide him in such matters. But no ob servation and experience can warrant him in anticipating a conspicuous yield from starved land or lands gorged with stimu lating nourishment. There are lew manures surpassing thai which we formerly had in some abundance, viz: cotton seed. Jtiis, ac present,' Wi have not available, being so scare.' that ... bushel readily sells from ?5 to *10. Sub stitutes must be searched for and none answer the requirement so well as th* super-phosphates. By the usc cf the:>e. we have shown that even poor lands car. become productive and. permanently e<V ' hanced ; that :he yield can be doubled and labor greatly reduced. Planters will be guilty of a singular fatuity if the> neglect the opportunity afforded them ol rehabilitating their fortunes by the display of proper enterprise and tact. We wonder that no ingenious individu al has followed in thc tracks of the dif ferent armies and gathered ap the count less bones of dead animals for thc pur pose of manufacturing fertilizers. A ton of such bones pulverized is almost as pungent as a ton of guano. At present, all thia wealth is useless except as a ref uge for tom-tits. We understand that the eminent firm of Geo. R. Crump & Co., has made am ple arrangements to supply planters with the various fertilizers. These gentlemen promise to secure none but the very best and we can cordially recommend " them to th3 patronage of the planting interest. There mny be some difficulty in thc way, by reason of the scarcity of money. We hope that this obstacle may be re moved by granting substantial credits to -.responstbla parties. And from the same paper of a later -date we find this additional paragraph on the subject.of fertilizers: FBKT?LrZKK*-ONE WOKO MORE.-Lest 't?tere should.-be. H mistake as to the drift mm[? recent article, om? the above subject, we* make additional statements-. We " based our calculation of the cotton yield ....of tim scries-op?? the most impoverished land, trusting tba* a. process:.of induction would lead up from the lovett to the ... i,;._U?_-_li v?as palpable as to poor soils would more forcibly apply, iu exact progression, to tortile tract.?-. It was shown that even ibe most wasted land would bring.threo bags to the len acres, stimulated by sti per-phosphatcs, leaving a balance of *200 clear profit! Let its ?sc?nd from this cal cuhtion to another, founded upon the I superior qalitics of the soil.- We will j take, therefore,'a high ratio, say, one bale to the aore. Here we have ten commer cial bales from as many acres, or 4,000 pounds of raw material. At 25 cents per pound we get $1,000. Deducting the cost of the manure, $125, there re main $875 profit. We UH?H't to infer j that a considerably greater amount bf cotton or corn could be garnered with the use a? fertilizers than without ; and that lauds worth any culture were worth the applica'iun of phosphates, inasmuch' os the augmented crop doubly repaid thc planter for the expense incurred. Our facts are mainly derived from in dividuals who claim to have the guide of p rael Jeal'eAT'?ri?n?cv Planters, like'meh of all4>.vdc:ttio)is:, disrgree. We make no el.tim hi agricultural infallibility ; we -imply present whaL appears tj) b<-. a fair view of sueh .* ulj>-el-:, and would'be pleaded to hi ar from any friends on ibis .gestion. involving, as it does, a vita! problem for the South. 1'nprotitaMc Farming. The Field and Turf thus widely ser monises upon "miprolitable farming. There i-? need of this" preaching : 1. Purchasing poor lands at a low prier, instead of the best al u higher one. 2. Want of underdrawing in all [daces where work is retarded, growth lessened md mannte lost hy a surplus of water. 3. Im-flielent fence*, admitting depreda ors to de.^oy crops, aud deranging farm order generally. 4. Building poor barns and stables, and allowing them to become dilapidated. 5. Wintering cattle, ?-heep and colts at stalls in open fields. C?. Plowing iiadly, on the shallow ont itid cover principle, Mislead of throwing ip inc soil into o line, dc p, even, mellow ?ed, ?.f i art h. 7. Covering seed imperfectly in coii=e pience of such bad plowing,.and thus al ?owing we- ds and grass a joint occupancy of the land. S. Wa'mibg and sowing too late, thus Jiminishing the crop to an amount equal .o what would be the whole nett profit : .hat i-, throwing away the entire .'avails. 0. Allowing corn-fields to be filled villi a dense undergrowth of woods, and potatoes and iumi[?s with a dense over growth cf-the same. ? 10. Procuring cheap implements, and osing many times the cost of good ones ?y the slow and imperfect work they per form. 11. Leaving implement!* exposed to .he weather, tu crack, warp and decay, ?allering them in fields, about tho barn hard, or along thc side of lae public Highway. 12. Throwing brush, rubbish, etc., dong fences and highways, thus promo ing the rapid growth of mullins, thistles, rurdocks and nettles, instead of destroy ng such brush by fire, and leaving neat md clean borders to your fields. 13. Planting the same crop year after ??ear in ino same field, thus diminishing he product and filling inc land willi weeds. 14. Omitting to sj r?ad the manure ai he righi lime, and then telling e?r giving it away to get rid of it. 15. Raising-humpback cattle and land pike hogs, that will consum? monthly heir entire value in feed, instead of tbe :>est animals, that falten easily on little, ind sell quicker for cash at high prices 16. Feeding animals irregularly, capi ng them to fret for their food au hour me day, and to receive it before they are ready for it thc next. 17. An entire omission to keep ac counts of the cost and profits of cae h iL-iU, anti of ihe whole farm, annually. -? *. How to Foretell Weather. Ina manual of the barometer, compiled .y Rear A?miiai Eitzioy, and just piiL. ?shed hy the Board of Trade, the follow ng useful observations occur : Whether clear or cloudy, a rosy sky t sunset denotes fair weather, a red sky ii thc morning, bad weather i-f much A iud, perhaps rain; a high dawn, wmd, md a low dawn, fair weather. Soft look ng or delicate clouds foretel! fine weather, A-i th moderate or light breezes; hard elged, oily looking clouds, wind. A ?ark, gloomy blue sky, is windy ; but a ight, bright blue sky, indicates fine weath T. Generally, th?> softer 'clouds look, l<iie .ess wind, but perhaps more rain may be .xpected ; and the harder, more greasy, rolled, tufted or ragged, the stronger the :oming wind will prove. Also, a brighl yellow sky at sunset, presages wind ; a pale, yellow, wet ; and thus, by the preva lence of red, yellow, or gray tints, thu coming weather may be told very nearly ; indeed, if aided by instruments, jmoM exactly. Small, inky looking clouds fore ?ell rain; Jight.scud clouds driving across masses, show rain and wind ; but if alone, may indicate wind only. iiigh upper clouds, crossing the sun, moon or stars, in adiiection diff?rent from the lower clouds of the wind then felt below, foretell a change of wind. When sea birds fly out earl-, and far lo seaward, moderate wind and fair weather may be expected. When they hang about the land or over it, sometimes flying in land, expect a strong wind with stormy weather. There are other signs of ? coming change in the weather known less.gener al ly than may be desirable, and arc, thert ibre, worthy of notice ; such as, when birds of long flight-rooks, swallows and others-hang about home and fly up and down, or low, rain and wind may be ex pected. Also, when animals seek shel tered places, instead of spreading over their usual range; when pigs carry straw in their styes ; when smoke from chim neys does not aeCend readily, or straight upward during a calm, an unfavorable change is probable. Dew is an indication of fine weather; so ?3 ft>g. Neither of these formations1 occur under an overcast sky, or when there is much wind. One sees for octa sionally rolled away as it were, by wind, but seldom or never formed while it is blowing. MODKL FAKMS.-Thc following sugges live paragraph concerning model farming, from the New Bedford Mercu'y, might, be true, if it "Isn't. "A retired' New York merchant, who had bought a farnr : on Long'Wami, was visited one day by an old friend, wbb wished to see Ihe mar yellows improvements and 'Wie Splendid stock of which' he had heard 'si> much boa-ting. After a fatiguing walk over the premises, thc city farmer invited ?H?K- '. weary; friend into the house. " Tinj:e" he.sB?^?l^on'?MtyB seeVthe best famuii ~ {ftc State':"- nbw'" sit- -down' .andyest, and take something. 1 have milk.p\\? chah?" J pagne. Take y oui choice ; they emt the j ?me," J ' "SALT" I*OR TOE GAR>EK.--Latterly some practical men have recommended the ap plication of salt to gardens, cither in au tumn, after the crops hare been removed, orin the spring before or after digging fur thvir crops; and wc have no doubt from our own limited experience ju its use, that it will effect all that 13 claimed fur it. For years it has been established that salt hay from th J marshes; overflowed by sea- water, was fur to bc preferred as a mulch to any other substance. Thc application of urine, also, to fruit trees, especially the plum, where it has been most generally used, is ft?] known have a very beneficial J?fl?ct. The fruit growers of New England and New York claim for salt many advantages By vow ing it U:ider pear trees. They say it gives the blush to this fruit, lt will "have the effect in a garden, also, qf'destroyingnox ious insects which have their winter habi tation in the ground. -? -?- * - -? A GOOD KKMF.DV AGAINST INSECTS. We found il next to impossible last, year to protect tlie young cantelope vines against the. persistent attacks of the black gnat ami iii!? striped bug. Voting radishes planted duse around the hill, repeated ap plications of ashes in tho morning when the dew was on, strong aloes,water, &c, had lillie or no i-ffoct Eventually, soap suds was applied, which seemed to do thc business, both in driving them away and in keeping them a way. .It.shouhl be ap plied'screral times, nud always after a rain has washed off the effects of the previous sprinkling. Whale oil soap is the best fer this purpose, using about one pound to four gallons of water. This soap can bc obtained nt the agricultural stores generally, as well as some of the drug and grocery stores. HOUSE RADISH.-Growing horse-radish is generally considered a matter of very little consequence, in regard to the man ner of cultivation; and tho result is, in run-t cases, small roots, which are inferior in flavor, arc raised. lt is very easy to grow this plant with roots as large as a mail's wrist. Select a rich, warm piece, nf ground, fully exposed to the rays of tho sun, and early in the se ison d:g it deep; mark it off for rows three feet apart, and haul the earth out of the rows, so ns to receive a heavy manu ring; then cover thc manure with thc dirt taken, from the rows, and set the roots about eight inches apart, and keep them free of weeds as you would every other crop, and the result will be a growth of horse-radish that is worth growing. CHEAP SOAP.-A correspondent of the Southern Danner gives the following re cipe for soap making, and adds that it would bc worth thousands in the hands ol a selfish person-bul bereit is gratis: Six pounds of potafch, four pounds of lard, fourth of a pound of. rosin,-beat up the rosin-mix np all together well, and set aside for five days., then put the whole into a ten gallun cask of wann water, and stir twice a day for ten days ; at the expiration of which time you will have one hundred pounds of excellent soap. How TO PREVENT SORE SHOULDERS ra WORKING-HOUSES.-An exchange says: The plan we have tried and never found to fail, is to get a piece of leather and have it cut into such a shape ;:s to lie snugly between the shoulders of the horse and the collar. This fends off all the frictions, as thc collar slips and moves on the leather, and not on the shoulders of :he horse. Chafing is caused by friction, hence this remedy is quite a plausible one, and is much better than tying slips .f leather and pads of sheep skin under 1\Q collar.
