Fro:iiihe AudtriOH Intelligencer. Experiment in V? heat Culture? We are indebted to a friend for the following letter from Dr. A. C. FULLER, of Laurens District, aa experienced and practical formar, lt would give us great pleasure to enrich our columns with just such information as the Doctor gives, and enable us thereby to assist in the work of recuperating and energizing farm operations in this section : Hos. R. F. SIMPSON-Dear Sir: Your favor of the *-2.KII nit., making in quiries concerning a certain experiment in growing wheat, 1 hai made, came duly to hand, and would have Ueeu answered .r once, but for the hope that, by a short do.lny, I might lie able to furnish more fully the information s night. 1 b id stored tba crop off tho laud experi mented upon separately, with the view of threshing it when tba work was over with t?!<- corn am! < ottou. L:i>f week I started the hands to threshing the premium wheat, a* We calle 1 it. and gave them instruc tion's sufficiently plain to avoid the risk ol mixing it with the other wheat, anti stepivJ oui \\ > <:s Lo avoid the dust, bul sh u'tiy afterwards f-mud, notwithstanding th i' by a blunder, they had got it mixed np. I cannot, therefore, g?ve you the yield; nor answer Ute inquiries Ton were , pleased io honor inc .wi ta, as satisfactoi ily I des; iv. ? ii . land sown was : 2,1 acres, branch !> atom, cleared about ?"2 years; th.- quality of the soil gener ally good and well dr; ti ned. The soil is a sandy loam and h is'been manured tw vears since it was cleared. lt was in cor, last ye-ir. and the lan i was prepared by plowing down the ridges with the com mon bull-tongue plow. The grain wu* then sown, one .".nd a half IvisheK rei! -May wheat, to the acre, and plowed in cross AIM: witi'i the same p!?<w. On th 27th of March a top dro?s:ng <>f loo ;|. of Ford"s| .Superphosphate of Linie, pei acr-*, wats applied broad-cast. 1 thinl< ord i u iriiy, the land would tn kt? from lt to 15 bushels of wheat per acre. S.-vcra farmers who saw the growing crop, ih prcstnt year, pronounced it the best they had ever seen grow in this country, um exoressed the opinion that the best aen would yield thirty bushels. I think, my self, lite best acre did make, nt leaf twenty-five bushels, in instituting the experiment my theory was this : I thought by seeding heavily, so ns lo subdue tn g owth of weeds, and then sustaining th. crops by manure-:, sq as to bring it to th f ;:!. -! physical development, ir must ne i-e-arily make a large yield ; and I?; applj ing concentrated manures as a top dressing, after Iii.; fro.-**s Lav.; abaleo wiien ..:>;! \< Ifft in a i Upen, por m condition, ready to absorb whatever mi triment may !?c supplied, and the periot of aetive growth has set in, you escape li:-.: waste from leaching rains, during th ?^itnpar?itively dormatit season nf plant, an 1 realize thc good elfects of your manure until full maturity. 1 u.-cd tu superphosphate of lime, because 1 did no fear injury in applying it to the growin? crops, but. I should anticipate harm trot: Peruvian (?nano, applied in the sam? way. ! have no;, tried the .latter, bm would not hesitate to do so when corn posted with rich loam, lot manure, coa dust, or whatever would tend to neutra h i ?ts caustic qualities ; and would prefe lo n e it as a top-dressing the 1st March, an J should expect better result? than when put in with the wheat in the fall. Having made this experiment with n< thought of ever reporting it, or that other would manifest any interest in it, 1 hav. not been so particular in preserving th< details, as pcrlaps, I would have been. I>ut, such as it is, I give it to you. an' trusting, if there is anything of value ii ir. your practical judgment will boll eliminate and develop it for the good ol our poor country. Very respectfully, Your ob't serv't, A. C. 1TLLER. ?lauuring the IFheat Crop. Manure holds the same relation to th finn that steam docs to tho entine; i: i the force used to accomplish the result Let thc one fail in the engine ?ind iii wheels slop, let thc other be withdrawn from the soil and its useful products rap idly and constantly diminish. If the farmer cannot manure every crop, the? he should consider from which he can h esl withhold the fertilizers. If he designed growing a crop of oats, followed by one of wheat, it would not be wise to npph the manure to the oat crop and give nom to the wheat. It would not pay as well : the crop of manure would be sold in ?? cheap market. So, too, it might be inju rious to manure a crop of potatoes and ha\ e none to apply to the succeeding grain Tht season ia which .manure should b< applied, the stage of the crop, and th. depth at which it should be placed, an . also topics which the farmer should th uk much about. Many consider that if ma nure is only buried in the soil it is enough no matter whether it be deep or shallow whether the subsoil be firm or leachy if the manure is in the earth, thc crops, they argue, will get the full benefit of i; -some time or another, i?ut this is not always true, and it is certainly more seicnti'ic and profitable farming to appl\ manure-not to increase the general fer tility of thc soil with a view to be bone fiiting several crops in succession-but to duectiy augment the yield of a speei ficd crop. This course will bring the most profit, forproducts which command ( p . the highest prices arc thu? largely in-js; creased. f Doubticss most, farmers will assent to the assertion that thc wheat crop need.- s; manure as much as any other one, and rc pays as well for its liberal application, tl \j r the profits of this operation may bi- al greatly varied by thc manner in which ii c< is clo ie. Flowing ?ii manure deeply will tv not give UH good results as placing it on. pi or just under, the surface, lt is less labor for tho larmer to plow in the manure, for it is easier to haul it in on hard surface w than over fresh plowed ground. And it then is it ont of the way of the harrow m and the drill ; but when buried deep it dr does not nourish the young plant in it* th first growth, uni impart to it strength and eh size to endure the approaching winter, fri Nor does it mulch thc surface and protect m thc plants from heaving frost and blight- tai ing winds. The rains in their descent be wa<h the soluble clements downwards in; ?nd away from the searching roots. Sur- bh face, manuring reverses these processps, tel and is more rational and productive of an moro immediate and visible results. At Well fermented farm-yard manure is as good enough for any crop, and the best int manure for all, but the trouble is we can't res get enough of it. Whenever the wheat ins grower can alford to purchase and use the sui fertilizers is a question which we must a f settle by experiment and observation, mu Lime may often be used with great pro- stn fit ; plaster is beneficial in some seasons, ' the and salt returns a libera! profit if sown on land rich in humus. Fertilizer*] for the wheat plant should be applied before the seed iias germinated, as a general rule, at lea>t before the spring growth begins. The preferable lime is just be fore sowing.-Kural New Yorker. fj?r* The Phoenix Guano, on hand in large quantities, and sold at the lowest fig ures by WILCOX, Ginns & Co., Augusta, is said to be one of the best fertilizers for the Wheat and other grain crops. Try a ton or two of it on your Wheat. And send in your orders immediately. OCT A correspondent of the Southern Cultivator says weil, and says truly: .'Every larmer who is cultivating as much as twenty or twenty-five acres of ?and, could wei! alford to pay you ten dollar/! for the Cultivator, and if he would read understandingly, mid thou practice what he would gather from the experience of your numerous intelligent correspondents, it would be the host in vestment he could possibly make." Horae-Madc Coucou rated Manures. Fruin tJiK Turf, Field and Farm. How deplorable1 is the improvidence, or negligence, or ignorance, call it what you will, of many of our farmers and planters, who give ruinous prices for con centrated manuros of doubtful valu*', while they aro surrounded at home with all the materials for making cm their own ?arms, at half the cost, a botter article than they can purchase from the manu factures? We would point t< immy a homestead in Maryland ?md Virginia, around which tho. ashes from tho dwelling and quarters have been accumulating for half a century without being turned lo account, and yet good farmers ut the North are glad to give ten cents per bushel fi>r wood ashes mid haul them ten miles. The wonders wrought by Colonel Capron fifteen years ago in the. improve ment of the poor lauds around Laurel factory between Baltimore and Washing ton, arc due to the application of wood ashes brought from a distance of twenty miles. How rarely is the carcass of any domestic animal converted into manure? and yet a dead horse will make a cord of the bert manure, abounding in nitrogen and fully worth ten dollars. How often in riding across the country, do we see the skeletons of horses and cattle bleaching in useless decay ? And yet many a farmer gi ves, or complains he connot give fifty cents a bushel for Lone dust, when he could make it himself at twenty-five, simply by lotting the ! ?fer.? in his vicinity know that he wil! give ? half a cent per pound for old bo ie**. We remember seeing on the road between Culpepper Court House and Woodville a luise colcotha accumulated in this way. and the hones, we were told, were di< s lived ina weak solution of sulphuric acid and mixed with woods oar:h. |>r... dicing a home made concentrated manure superior to the best Peruvian guano, und a' half (he cost. The annexed on this subject was com municated to that able Journal, the South ern Cultivator by a correspondent whose appreciation of that noble old Hornau. Governor Wise, cannot exceed our own In January, 1SG0, 1 wrote to Cul. Nut. Tvlor, of tho Richmond Enquirer, re specting the commercial manures to be had in that locality. He hande l my let ter to Gen. Wisc, to whom it made refer ence in another connection, but who re plied to this part of it in this wise. I extract from his letter as a favor to your readers: " You can't have the concentrated ma nures sent to you, as you proprose at five times their value. Make your own ma nure/ A pit t.vo feet deep, eight by ten square-the bottom made firm and inclining to one corner; at tho lower corner place a reservoir, sunk below the corner, to catch the fluid percolating through composts in pit ; in that reservoir fix a hand pump; cover the pit by a roof on posts seven feet high above ground; then in the bottom of the pit lay muck eight inches thiek ; then cover the. muck with the manure, finir inches thick ; then muck again eight inches, u;td then manure foul* inches; and so on until you roach up four feet high or four and a half, and then top on with muck-muck at top and bottom. On the top put a trough or shal low tray, with lHes in the bottom, this tray, the same size of your compost heap, say eight feet long, four feet wide, and four and a half feet higii-a full cord of more than one hundred and tweniy-t ght cubic feet. Then dissolve one bushel of >alt in just water enough to dissolve it Pour that brine in the reservoir; then lissolve three bushels of limo in water f.o make a strong milk of Hine. Pour that miik in the brine in thc reservoir, ind mix well. Then put your tray on ih<; compost heap, and pump the salt mixture tito the tray, and let tiie mixture percol ate through the compost. It will run ?nek into the reservoir,' and can bc re lumped, say once every two days, and n six days you will have a cord of ma mre equal to guano.'''' I shall try this process in thc fall season know personally th:it Ex-Governor Wise s one of the best informed and practical nen in America. It strikes me however, hat the process he describes may be ad antageously dispensed with, by making he compost h^aps in the open field, and nixing the salt and lime mixture with he muck and manure, as the layers are 'Ut into thc pens, and leaving them well overed, to bo used on the ground at Janting time. His process is indispon ible to making a commercial manure >r transportation. . I suggest it is not. improbable that the true end. of enriching the soil, might bc lore advantageously attained by putting ie muck and manure in the open furrow S once, pouring the mixture upon it, and avering it up with a turn [dow. Tho hole subject is suggestive, and may rompt practical experiments of value. FALL Tor-DRESSING.-Every farmer ho has practiced fall top dressing, knows is invaluable. This does not ari - so uch from tho. feitilizing matter in thc 'casing, as from the fiict that, it. protects e surface of the earth from sudden hi langes of the temperature-prevents its L ?ezing so early in the fal!, or losing ?ts Ii oisture and heat by a- too direct con- at ct with the wind. In short, tho real w nefit of full top dressing is ?ti its mulch- ta ? the soil. Stable manure is too vulua- |e ? to be used for this purpose. Far bet- m . to keep this lo apply in tho spring, nj d then cover it with earth immediately, j ac least ninety per cent, of manure, used ac fall top-dressing, is wasted by passing [ni o the atmosphere. Nearly thc same J la* mks can be obtained by fall top-dress \ Fi : with leaves, by straw, or any oiher stance tnat W'H cover thc surface. Let yn armer try the experiment, by thus ve Ichiuga small piece of grass land with kn iw, leaves, or other like substance, in Al fall, and apply the manure in the mt spring; and on another piece, apply the same quantity of manure in the fail, and aive us thc result.- Ohio Farmer: O A NODE TO TO.UATTUSSES.

Tho rniid weather oi carly Fa'l is peculiarly favorable to put tic;; DU fat, and thc sooner Mich lings asare intended fur thc pen are pul in a course ol im prove munt,the more economically they will be. fed.

They should be brought, therefore, within a small enclosure und fed moderately tiil i hey become accustomed to the change, when heir supplies nv?y bc increased til! they g?;t as mu. h a< they will cat. If we would not consult thc strictest economy, but make tho best meat, thc fattening should bo completed in a. snip.ll grass lot. with a running stream, or otln-r abundant supply td' water, ?iud a shelter open to the South, where (hey may bc always dry. There is very great econo my in the. usc of well ground grain, and cooking increases the value of thc food very much. If, in addition to this, even pair he put into a sty. raised fron: the ground ?ind well protected from weather, the strictest suggestions of economy will be. observed. In this case the bottom of the pen should be open enough to let all the droppings pass freely through to litter supplied underneath. DRILLING ' IN WHEAT.-Whenever a wheat drill can be used without injury, this "method of seeding has a decided ad vantage over all others. Hy the breaking down of the minute ridges thus formed in the soil, the plant escapes winter-killing, stands the action of the frost belier, and whilst there is a great saving of seed whea*, tho. product ?it harvest will gener ally Lc heavier. Koli before, but never after, seeding with.' the. drill.-Maryland Fanner. -? -?- ? BONE?.-Dr. James R. Nichols, chem ist, says, "a most excellent method of preparing bones for field use, is lo dis solve or saponify the gelatinous portion hy th;* employment of cost ic alkalies. For this purpose, tak<* 100 pounds, beaten into as small fragments ?us possible, pack them in a tight ca?-k or box with 100 pounds of good wood ashes. Mix with the a-lies, before packing, 25 pounds of, slacked lime, and 12 pounds of sal soda, powdered fine. It will require about 20 1 gallons of water to sat?rale thc muss, but more may bc added from time to time to Maintain moisture. In two or three weeks thc bones will be broken down completely, and the whole turned out ipon a flour, mixed with two bushels of iry peat or good soil, and after drying is it for use." ----. ?? ? STOPPING THE FLOW OF BLOOD.-House keepers, mechanics and others, in handling mi ves, tools and other sharp instruments, reqtiently receive severe cuts, from which )loud flows profusely, and often-limes en langers life itself. Blood may be made o cease, to flow as follows: Take the fine lust of tea and bind it close to the wound -at all innes accessible and easy to be ibtained. After the blood has ceased lo low, laudanum is advantageously applied' o the wound. Due regard to these in trudions would save agitation of mind, nd running for a surgeon, who probablv rould make no better prescription. Tj?f" Drop cakes are very (be for tea, nd hero is the way to make them : One nd a half teacup sour milk, half a teacup ream, sall, one teaspoon salerai;;:; ; stir nick with flour, and drop in a buttered ripping pan. -? -*- ? LAND MEASUKE.-Every farmer should ive a rod measure-a light, slid' pole-just 5? feet long, for measuring land. By a ttle practice he can learn to step a rod .five paces, which will answer very eil for ordinary firm work. Asccr- \ 'ming the number of rods in width and ngtb of the lot you wish to measure, ' ultiply one into the other, and divide f 1G0. and you have the number of rcs, as 1G0 square rods make a square n re. If you wish to lay off one acre, * eas.iire. thirteen rods upon each. This i sksi only a rod of full measure.-Prairie W immer. [A four rod tape line is better, when u have a boy to carry one end. It is ry important that every farmer should ow tho acreage and yield of his crops | sandon guess work and begin measure- ^ mt at once.] J Sensible Advice. Geo. W. Kendall writes from Texas to the New Orleans Picayune, and gives the following sensible views: Thc lessons which adversity teaches are hard, yet they must be learned. And these lessons are always useful. 1 know that it comes hard for a young man to walk behind a plow who once rode be hind a fast trotter: nor is it agreeable to a young lady to make and put on her dresses all by herself, who formerly had a couple of servants to take these irksome jobs off her hands. Yet I can see no 01 her remedy, at le;ict for those who have simply been ruined by the war, and the list is a long one. That a large majority have accepted thc situation cheerfully, I am glad to.say is true-I mean the situa tion to earn their own living; all must do it. And there are many who think, and I am one of them, that in the long run it will be all tho better for the lising gen eration of the South-a generation which is to follow one notoriously brought up in ignorance of work and indolence as to any useful occupation. The race of men growing up will be more muscular-the women .stronger and heartier-and their children again improve upon the stock. 'I have never heard that exercise was hurt ful, and I have consulted good physicians on the sulject. How often do wc hear our people com plain that they have been out all day hunting for a servant, without success. Had they turned to in the morning they could have done all their work themselves in a couple, of "hours, and saved money und shoe leather by the operation Too many people in the South have been brought up to be waited upon ; they must now tie their own shoes, and 1 repeat that the sooner they begin, the better it will be. 1 know that many think they can escape this state of things by going lo Brazil, or some other out oft he-way coun try ; but toil is is' the common lot of the poor man the world over, so far asl have seen, and in no p.nt of ihe. world is toil as remunerative as in the Southern States of America.
