An Hour at thc Old Play Ground.

I .-at an hour to-day, John,
iij-iJo th? ufa brook t>irtu.m,
Whore wc were school-boys in tdd (imo,
'?> Waua mauhood wai ti dream :
Tao brook ii ch..kid with fallen leaves,
The pond ii? dried away
I scarce believe yon would know
T.'ie dear old place to-day.
Tho school-boose is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees ;
Tho wild rose by tho window side
Xo more waves in tho breeze :
k? Tie scattered stones look desolate,
The sod they rested on
Has bsen p'owed up by stranger hands
Since you and I were gono.
Tho chesnnt tree is dead, John,
And what is sadder now
Tho broken grape vino of our swing
Hangs on the w?there 1 bongil ;
I reid our names upoa th? bark
Aod foupl the pebble* rare
I, ail! up lei: e., io tho hol'.ow *:do
A) wu had piled them there.
II.-n-iath ibu :rj..?-sr--WH bn'-ik, J?bn,

That b-ai.bled doca the uljcr path,
Tiree pnces lr..m tho swing;
Thc ra?hes gr-iw upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
And not a foot, .J?? many a day,
It seems bas trodden there.
i I took the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the hill;
'Tis darker than it used lo bc,
And seems so lone and still !
Tho birds sing yet among the boughs
Where unco the swoot grapes hung,
Uat !t*t a vcice of aumin kind
Where all ou.- v-.ioei rung.
1* sit me on thc fence. Job?,
That lies as in old time,
The tame half panel in the path
W-s used so oft to climb
And thought how o'er thu b?rs of lifo

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- '.

"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.
