AGRICULTURE. THE NEW ORDEROF THINGS? CLOSR CULTIVATION. The following extract copied- from fix Rural Gentleman, an able Agricultural - * * * T> !? _ Magazine published'm uaitiroore, art commended to to the attention of agriculturists, as containing good bouoc scnso, which, if practised at this time mast redound to the advantage of the Southern plaBfer and farmer: We are glad to observe that the mis tffken Idea: of "pride of acres" is being gradually dispelled throughout the Mid die and Southern States, and that th< cultivators of the soil arc beginning tc realise from experience that smal farms, with good tillage and a liberal use of manure, arc the surest means ol success. And this result may be at tributed to the changed labor system o these sections, and the ppirit of theii agricultural press. Now, if we cxpoct our land to yielc abundantly, We must feed it well?feed it, too, before it gets hungry, and rest ii ere it becomes weary, as an eminent English agriculturist once said. There is also a great deal in the manner ir which we apply fertilisers. Dr. Vloecker, chemist to the R yal Agricultural Society, has cstablishod the fact that all manures are better applied upon tin surface, to Be washed in by the rains, than turned under by the plough. You should also study the nature ol your soil, so as to know what manures to use. Now Peruvian guano has ammonia in excess, while the Orchilla possesses phosphates and alkaline salts? hence of great value when combined. A Standard Super-Phosphate is the giant manurej being boo*-phosphate concentrated with sulphuric acid, producing the soluble phosphoric acid?'the chemical constituents of which absorbs ammonia from the atmosphere Rhodes' i?f we believe, recognized as a "standard super-phoephatc," and, being manufactured upon a large scale, can be sold to the farmer at a much lower price than he can produce it for himself. A farmer should sjlect standard ingredients and combine for himself?it being well known that amminia and phosphates are the leading properties to be obtained in sufficient quantities for agricultural uee?the other ingredients of plant food being furnished bj the soil ard atmosphere. So much for manures. Another idea Wore closing. We contend that the dignity of argiculture should be recognized by the young men of the country, who-should adopt it as a profession.? Avoid the crowded cities and towns, to engage in the uncertainties of commercial life. XememSer, that if agriculfore is allowed to languish, that being the true basis of the nation's wealth, dire confusion in every other pursuit must inevitably follow. Attend well to the fountain from which flows all oui prosperity, and we will hear less complaint about hard times, and nothing to do. Finally, We urge upon young farmers the importance and value of credit? which is equal to capital. Let "a far mer's note" not be a by-icord with Banks ands and money lenders, but rep fwentiog substantial security. Cutting Hay for Cattle.?E. W. Stewart states in the The Rural Ntu Yorker that he fed ten head of cattle as follows:'Fire were fed on twenty-five pounds of long bay each daily, and the other five on twenty pounds each of cut hay. At the end of the month, those fed on the cut hay had gained on the others, although we are not infbnned how much. The experiment Was then reversed by changing the animals, when it was found that those on cat hay gained on the others. A saving of at least twenty per cent, was ttrer aiftcted; by cutting?cqnal to fifty poondsa day for* the ten cattle, or three and a half tons fof the five foddering months at the North. At fen dollars per ton, this would be thirtyfive dollars. What would be the cost of catting the whole fourteen tons for 'Ma _ ,h1 1 It IN. ? roe ten cacue, ir aone Dy norec power: Cutting and cooking cotnbihed* wert fonnd to save one-third. ClfBk FOB Staggers.?A correspondent of the Arkadelphia Standard says: "I find the following receipt in an old number of the Southern Cultivator, which you will please publish, as there have been quite a numberjof fatal cases of "Blind Staggers" in this country of late." "Take one quart of Brandy or Whiskey, and dissolve one ounce of camphor in it, asd give for a dose one gill. In | about two hotrrs after taking this pre: I paration they will get up. Care should be taken to prevent the horse from drinking water for twenty-four hours in which lime, a Complete cure will be effected. 1 The author Warrants his receipt to ! care nine tim s out of ten having tried it successfully for several years. 1 VARIETY. i . The Colonel and Quartermaster of an. Ohio regiment have just been made to r j d ffjorge some seventeen bonds issued by the city ot Savannah, in aid ot ran, roads, which they stole from the State > Bank of Sottth Carolina, at Camden, I during Sherman's march. 1 General Grant's favorite steed for f horseback riding is said to be a beau tiful black pony, which was taken from f Dick Taylor's plantation during the r war.

W/1A V* t these are rc-elected to fill their own t seats, and sixteen are new members, - though some of these are not strangers 1 in Congaess. Morgan's Ratds.?The claim pre* ' sented before the commissioned ap' pointed in Indiana to ascertain the dam! ages inflicted in that State, by John ' Morgan's raids, amount in value to f 8497,399, and $413,599 of those have been approved. The Governor rccom1 mertds that the State should pay these claims and obtain reimbursement from the United States. A rice sowing machine, the object of which is to work close to the ditches or fences and over unequal ground, the invention of Mr. T. D. Dotter of Charleston, has been patented. A young man, 'illiterate but polite,' on being invited to attend a wedding, sent a note in response, saying, 'I regret that circumstances repugnant to the aeq.ttiescc will prevent my acceptance of i the invite.'
