The Plowman. Tearing np tte stubborn soil Trudging, drudging, toiling, moiling, Hands and feet and garments soiling Who would grudge the plowman's toil ? Yet thero's lustre in his eye, Borrowed from yon glowing sky ; And there's meaning in his glances That bespeak no dreamer's fancies For his mind has precious lore, Gleaned from nature's sacred store. Toiling up yon weary hill, He has worked since early morning, Ease and rest and pleasure scorning, And he's at hu labor still Though the slanting western beam, Quivering on the glassy stream, And j un old elm's lengthened shadow Flung athwart the verdant meadow, Tell tbat shadowy twilight gray Caunot now be fur away.

Ye, who nursed upon tho breast, Of ease and pleasure enervating, Ever new delights creating, Which not long retain their zest Ere upon your taste they pall, What avail your pleasures all?

Xo Mi .mee for Imposition. Messrs. WILCOX, Ginns & Co., 241 Broad Street, Augusta, Ga., are now, and have been since 18G0, engaged in import ing direct from the Islands large quanti ties of the Phoenix Guano, considered by many of our most practical and intelli gent planters, one of the best and cheap est fertilizers as yet introduced. It is a Natural Guano, imported direct to Savan nah, in bulk, and sold in its natural state without grinding or manipulation, which is the best guarantee that Planters can have that it is pure and unadulterated and Messrs. WILCOX, GIBBS & Co., are the only parties in the Southern States who have it come direct to Southern ports in bulk, and there discharged in such manner as to preclude the possibility of imposition. Although it is essentially Phosphatic Guano, it has, in addition to a large amount of Phosphate of Lime (which renders it a permanent fertilizer,') a sufficient proportion cf the Sulphates of Ammonia, Potash, and Soda, and Organic Matter, rich in Nitrogen, to secure for i prompt and efficient action upon the first crop. In 1S60 they first introduced this valua ble Manure, and distributed a small quan tity of it to some of the best Planters in different portions of Georgia, which they used to their perfect satisfaction. In the spring of 1866 they imported and sold several hundred tons, all that arrived in time for the spring crops, which, notwith standing the unprecedented drought, gave general satisfaction ; and the fact that the same parties bought largely of thc Phoe nix this season, is a sufficient guarantee that it is highly valued by all who have given it a trial. This Guano is said to bc superior for thc Turnip Chop,-and now is the time to attend to this very important crop. Send down and get a sack (200 lbs ) or a barrel (300 lbs,) and put in an acr? or so in Turnips. You will never regret using the Phoenix Guano. For the Wheat Crop it has a wide spread reputation, and as it costs only $60 per ton in Augusta, it. does appear reasonable to suppose that farmers would use it 'argely this fall on their grain crops. W . should judge from the following, from thc Savannah News d) Herald, that the Messrs. WILCOX, GIBBS & Co., have on hand a tremendous supply - of the Phoenix,-sufficient to meet the wants of all. Let everybody usc ruano-it is a good investment, and always pays from 50 to 100 per cent. The News ? Herold, of Monday, an nounces the arrival, at Savannah of the ship S. L. Tilley, with one thousand tons of this fertilizer, being the second direct importation by the enterprising firm of Wilcox, Gibbs & Co., of Augusta. The News & Herald continues : "This Phoenix Guano is acquiring wide reputation, and is being very general! used, not only at the South, but in the North, the importers having already re ceived orders from Connecticut for a lot of it " It has been extensively used in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Louisiana. " We take much pleasure in recording items of intelligence of this character. Every direct importation to Savannah of a foreign product important to the State of Georgia and such other territory as is supplied by her, is of a local advantage far beyond what is indicated by the mere financial magnitude of the transaction, and its benefits are felt all over the South. By the enterprise of her citizens Savan nah has risen high in the list of commer cial cities, and with proper enterprise and devotion to her own real interests, she may soon exceed anticipations that were regarded as loo sanguine only a short time since. Let us encourage direct trade with all important points, and no longer import guano from New York, or Eng lish goods from Boston, or give all our j profits on exports to Northern shippers. Even Yankees will respect us the more for thus attending to our own interests, and no longer have a standing advantage of Southern dependence upon them." RAISING HENS.-An exchange says : The inquiry often arises amongst inexpe rienced /armers as to the actual profils of keeping kens, ?Jd mw/ affirm that ibejr les troy, uiore.thun they are worth. T [ a?ii uunviuced, after several years Dcricnce, is not true, but they are in profit th;m any other fowl raised upon farm. I usually keep about fifty, wi ire allowed to run about at large o the farm, or remain in the hen hoi By thus giving them freedom to st ibout, they get much to oat which, w they confined, would have to be suppl LO them in corn, grain, &e. I feed re larly every morning during the yeai them two quarts of corn. This, v sour milk in Summer, and a few boi potatoes in Winter, together with pie of pure water, is ail the food they.requ During the year 1SG4 I sold fourhund and eighty-seven dozen of eggs, for SIS 30, besides using what was required fe family of six persons. During the y of 1S65 I raised one hundred and fi chickens and sold five hundred and thii two dozen of eggs, which, at thc aven price, amounted to $156.40. The chi ens I sold for thirty cents apiece, mnk $31.50, a profit on fifty hens of $187. This is my experience in keeping he and I have always found where they w kept well they would yield a profita reward. The labor required in tak care of them is very little, and I wo urge any who have any doubts as to til profitableness to try the experiment. ?-? Turnips, If full crops of the Ruta-Daga t Aberdeen varieties of Turnip Seed h: not been already sown, delay no long A rich, light loam suits the turnip be but it will grow and do well on a!m any kind of land, well prepared a manured. The planter should select the b ground ho has, break it deep and pulv ize well. If he has manure enough should broadcast it over the ground 1 fore plowing ; if not, the land should trenched, (after being plowed as deep possible,) with a scooter, or narrow shov and the manure distributed in the tren and then the trendies-covered by a lt{ turnplow, and thc ridges formed ; I seed put in with a drill, if to bc had. bottle, with the mouth covered by a pic of sheet lead, perforated like a pepp box lid, makes a very good apparatus I sowing the seed. The ridges should be about 20 incl apart, and the seed so put in thc that t plants will stand about ten inches apt in the drill. Thus planted the after c ture of the turnip becomes an easy tn, ter. We of the South have never propel estimated the importance of this ere In Europe it ia second to scaicely ar thine: else except the wheat crop. lit ses, cattle and, sheep are fed with t turnip, and thrive and do well upon Here, the turnip is equally important an economical husbanding of our resoi ces. It may be made to yield as we and we may save the trouble and expen of gathering and housing the crop, whi they have to incur in Europe. If o people, could be once induced lo try ti experiment, fairly, after that the Ku Baga would bc found to be one of ot most valuable staple productions. " It is not too soon to begin to prepa the ground for the later varieties of tu nip, which should be sown about the 20 of August. The best varieties for tl table are the White Flat Dutch, and tl Red Top, also, a flat turnip. These ai the earliest varieties. At the same time theso are sown, tl Globe and Norfolk, field turnips, shoul also be sown. They come later, an will stand all the winter, retaining the crispness and sweetness. These varietu should be sown also for stock. Thc y iel per acre is enormous, and they are ?ava uable as a food for stock. A similar pn paration and manuring of the land a prescribed for Ruta Baga, is requisit for the successful growing of the ollie varieties of the turnip. A correspondent of the Southern A? riculturist, says : To such a slate of perfection have th English brought tho culture of turnip; that they have revolutionized the agricul ture of the Kingdom, and the turnip ero of England is annually worth more that the Cotton crop of the United States Sow common turnips in August, Septem ber aud October. The Ruta Baga ma; be sown from 20th July to September should be planted in drills, two feet apart and thinned out to twelve or fourteei inches. The Ruta Baga is destined soot to work a great change in Southern agri culture. They are as easily managed a: the common turnip, are more nutritive keep much longer, and afford gr?ent equal to collards, if not superior. Steel of all kinds are fond of them, and fron: their rich golden col ur, sweet and deli cate flavor, are unsurpassed for the table Farmers, try the Ruta Baga, and learn how it saves the corn-crib! The Ruta Baga is not inclined to seed in this cli mate ; but this is a benefit rather than ar objection, as thereby the root keeps sound much longer. A correspondent of the Rural Ameri can gives the following, which is an Eng lish mode, and which he has proved in th?9 country : . To prepare the seed before sowing, take a dish that is large enough to hold all the seed that is intended to be sown, and turn on enough of new milk to cover the seed ; let it soak six hours, then drain it dry ; take sulphur, and put on a good quantity, mixing it thoroughly before sowing; the milk causes the sulphur to adhere to the seed, and as the seed vege tates, the strength of thc sulphur so im pregnates the young plant that the turnip fty will not molest it. Sods and Weeds. it should be a general practice with farmers to gather up all the sods, weeds, md . even the year's growth of briars, bushes, (Sec., and stack them in large com pact heaps, thero to remain for from one Lo two years, or until they become pro perly discomposed, and resolved into one mass. It would take but little to gather Lhese, while in doing so the fields would be cleared of this trash, which, if left to remain, obstruct the growth of plants md encourage the increase of these draw backs to growing crops. The "manure" ivhich ought to be produced on a farm of in hundred acres by this process, would mrdly be believed until properly put in operation. But we can say in advance ;hat there ought to be realized, at the owest calculation, one cart load per acre. This substance is extremely valuable for gardens, and especially for corn, as well is for soils of a heavy and tenacious maracter. We have long been convinced that this >nrt of a farmer's business has not learly been so generally attended to ns it night to be. In the pursuit of ngricul ure there are as negligent ann indifferent armers as other business men. Some, ndeed, appear to have no desire to sue :eed, or to make more than a mere from iand-to mouth Jiving; they never learn .ny thing from the experience and exam ple of their morp energetic neighbor*, j. They know enough.dj>epce are con tent to humdrum their lives away, leaving their children to pattern after them, un less they possess superior innate faculties of their own, and copy, in spite of the example of their parents, after those who have kept pace with the spirit of the age. In passing through agricultural districts the observant person sees many different phases of farming. He constantly notices where the eye and l and of the intelligent attentive and successful farmer belong. He requires no guide to point out to him where the soil as well as the mind has been improved. He sees no failure of crops there unless through the visitation of agencies over which man has no con trol. Even severe drought has little effect upon his crops. Judicious manu ring and thorough tillage and draining alone work these agricultural wonders. Who, then, who possesses the true spirit of the Farmer, will not go and do like wise 1- Germantown Telegraph. Too Much Land. The desire to own a very large farm is natural, but often pioves unwise in its re sults. When a man wishes to p.actice a mixed husbandry, it is doubtless wise to annex more territory. Neighbor Jones has twenty acres of good meadow land which is suitable only for Jiay, or grain or hoed crops. But as he finds a small dairy would be profitable, and sheep would bring in good returns, it would be advisable for him to buy several acres of hilly land adjoining. But this accom plished, let him stop, and bc careful to buy no more than he actually needs for his special purpose. For, this new land will have to pay taxes, will have to be fenced, and may need other expenses laid out to open it. At any rate, it will add to his cares, and perhaps bring him no adequate return. We know a farmer who, ten years ago, owned 150 acres, and was doing very well ; he now owns five hundred and is worse off than before. And why ? Because this large farm is a great bill of expense to him ; he cannot afford to keep it up in good condition, and it hangs a millstone of cares about his neck. His wife and children, both sons and daughters, are obliged to work hard to keep thc great machine running. We presume his boys declare they will liave home as soon as they are old enough ; and the girls say they will die before they will marry farmers. Neither sons or or daughters are educated as they deserve to be ; they cannot be spared for this from work on the big farm. Now, we declare that such a farm is a curse to its possessor and his family, and an injury to the whole agricultural inter est If that man wants to save himself and his household, he should sell at least one half of his land, improve the rest to make it more productive, release his children from bondage, and try to make his home on* of comfort. He will live longer, lay up a good properly, and will train up a more intelligent and happier family.-American Agriculturalist. How to get a Ton of Guano Without Buying lt. A correspondent of the Country Gen tleman gives the following account of hen manure as a fertilizer: " On cleaning out my hen-house last Spring, I had more than a wagon load of clean hen manure. I drew this into my barn, intending to drop on the h'lls of corn as soon as they were up. I planted one acre on the first of May, but atter that the weather v*as so very unfavorable that it was the end of May and begining of June before I could get through planting. Long before this the manure began to heat at such a rate that I had to unload it on the barn floor, and on going into the barn a few days after, the effluvia was so powerful that 1 was glad to escape. Hav ing some plaster on hand I mixed it with the manure, spreading the latter thinly over the floor, and chopping and bruising it very fine. It was then thrown into a heap and remained in that condition till i the corn was ready for it. There was no further perceptible escape of ammonia. With this I top dressed all my corn, eleven acres, and I had a barrel left o/er fur other purposes. So well satisfied am I with the result that for the future I in tend to prepare my hen manure in the same way, and use it upon the same crop. I mixed enough plaster with it to make il dry and inoffensive to handle. 1 eau speak of this from experience as I drop ped it over four acres myself. Now here is a manure equal in value, I doubt, to thc average of imported guano, which every fanner can manufacture for him self, for every farmer keeps fowls. But he must have a suitable house for them, and keep them, from roosting in other places about his premises, and even in trees wasting that yalu ble manure, which is too frequently the cause. So highly do 1 esteem this manure that I make it my duty every night to see that all my fowls are in their proper house. Sociability Among Farmers. Naturally the farmer is an unselfish man. His labors are mostly out of doors. His calling takes him much i broad, and enables him to mingle considerably with the world. Yet looking at the very large proportion of the population embraced in his pursuit, and the important influence exercised by it over all our public affairs, it is a subject of common remark, even by agriculturists themselves, that their social intercourse should be so much re stricted. There is no other cause for this seelusiveness on the part of farmers that wc can see than the " treading in the foot steps of their predecessors." Be this as it may. there are other causes operating which appear to be changing this for the better. Country fairs, bringing agricul turists together from districts sufficiently near to each other to make acquaintance ship pleasant and lasting, and putting them in friendly emulation in matters and things involving their agrestic skill and success, are clearly working to form more close companionships between those whose domestic comforts and family en joyments must be greatly promoted in the future. Little clubs among the farmers of a neighborhood, to meet once a week, to discuss or talk over the innumerable sub jects connected with fhe intelligent prose cution ot their noble profession, produce a decidedly fraternizing and socializing effect. While these locftl associations should not bo too formal and restricted, they should have an official organization as bettet calculated to cause punctuality at the meetings, as well as to add to their permanency. On these occasions the wives and daughters of families should always accompany their husbands, fathers, or brothers-not to participate of course in the proceedings that may take place, but to increase the agrecability of thc meetings, and to share in the pleasure of these delightful interchanges of good neighborhood. Indeed, if th* truth munt be spoken-and we^ are ready to do it upon ali occasions, especially upon such , an QB8 w ibis--there ia very ijtio social ' enjoy m en t_ in thc world which is not re fined ?nd ?ii?idc doubly enjoyable'hy the presence of woman.-Germantown Tele graph.
