Jissr*. bj lit'trs American Farmer:?In giving the particulars respecting my csper- i iiiicnts wiih nnmioniatcd fertilizers, I will st rt with corn planted upou land tliat had b uu farmed by outside teuauts uutil its fertility was so reduced that it was found too unprofitable to continue its cultivation This particular field I prepired and planted corn on, with an application of about 300 pounds per acre of Amuioniated Hone Black, at a cost of 834 00 per ton. This I'ertillizer was applied to the cut ire field, excepting about ten acres which had about 200 pounds per acie applied of ^outli Carolina Hock and Kaiirt, at ..?25 00 per tou4 prepared by the Muryiauil Fertilizer Company. The en'ire lit Id is of the sauio quality of land, as near as I can judge. The result of this I experiment was one third more corn where the South Carolina It ick and Kainit was applied than where the Ainuioniuted Bone Black was used The ainai mi a caused the corn to fire badly and ui aerially sh?rtenod the crop. Kxi'Kitl.mknt No. 2 ? Finding the South Carolina 11 ick and Kainit proved so satisfactory with my corn, [ concluded to try five t ns on my wheat in the fall of 1830 but knowing that wheat was composed, to some extent, of different constituents or elements frouj corn, and that ammonia was thought imperatively necessary to produce a good crop, I purchased five tons of anitiioniatcd South Carolina *11 ?ek, four tons of amaioniatcd Animal Bone, four tons of slaughter house refuse and South Curoliuu llock mixed, one ton slightly auiuioniated Animal Bone, and?tons auiuioniated Bone Black. I ap, lied the several articles each by itself on the same character of land and the.same quantity per acre in each instauce, and I am very sure there was not one peck in oc wheat per ac.eon the laud where the most expensive auiuioniated fertilizer was used than where the South Carolina II ick and Kainit was appli d. The clover sowed on toe wheat in the spring of 1331 was uuN family good over the entire cultivation. Kxi'KltlMKXT No. .*>.?The South Caroli na llock and Kainit proving to be much more ccouomieal than the auiuioniated fertile exception of about one acre n. ar j its centre, in the fall of 1881. On this acre I applied -100 pounds of South Car- ? olin a K ick amuinniated, at double (lie cost | , nl' the uou-amuiouiatcd. At harvest time there was not one jiuticle of dilfereuee in the wheat, either in quantity or qualityOn another iiehl I used Animal II me ainmoniatcd, South Carolina Rock and Kainit at half the cost of the two first named. There was no preceptible differi nee in the yield or quality of wheat, where the same kind of wheat was sowed, and so clearly was this developed that the party who thre-hed my grain, a very practical Xew I'jiigland gentleman, remarked that there would he a great demand for South Carolina Rook and Kainit this fall 1'liis same gentleman has been threshing my grain for the last four years, and as he is a live Yankee, has been watching my experiments very closely, and so thoroughly convinced was he last fill of the supiriirity of the South Carolina Rock and Kainit over any of the a ami mi ited fertiliz irs, he got 1110 to procure for him sufficient to apply to his entire wheat crop. This fertilizer cost him, applied to the land, not over Slid.01) per ton. This season he had the opportu* i \vh > used a forty eight d >11 ir amnion! , fort i I zor. Tlicy each used the same ntiin- J lier of p minis j> w aere and seeded the same (|U uitity of wheat. The neighbor's laud j ought to be tin; best, as it is liver laud and ! nwueil l>y a very practical man who tries to ' work things to the best advantage. The) geutlcui in .*e for rod to raised 10!) bushels more wheat (ho threshed boh erops) than tlie neighbor who used the forty-eight dollar fertilizer. So thoroughly convinced am I of the usolessu -s- of the artificial ap plio it ion of am n mil to laud, t h it I shall rely in future entirely upon thorough nil tivatiou to at>r let and rMiin h m -fi -i il at i um-phcric iiillu -nces, and wlien my land is not in active cultivation make it a point to keep it well covered with clover or mixed grasses, lime upon these, and when fallowed, apply Smith Carolina llock and Kaiuil in re see ling down.

" 'Hut I hear my Mistress cotniug, Said the Hose; She will take me to her chamber, Where the honeysuckles clamber, Atid I'll bloom there all December Spite of snows. ' Sweeter fell her lily finger, Than the Bee! Ah, how feebly I resisted. Smoothed my thorns and e'en assisted, As all blushing I was twisted Otf my tree. " 'And she fixed me in her bosom, Like a star; And 1 flashed there all the morning, ..'asinine, honeysuckle scorning, rarasnes lorever tawuiiig Thai they are. " Ami when evening came she sat iuo In a vase. All of rare anil radiant metal. Ami I felt her reil lips settle t)n my leaves till each proud petal Touched her lace. " 'And 1 shone about her slumber Like a light ; And 1 said, instead of weeping In the garden, vigil keeping, Here I'll watch my mistress sleeping livery night. " -Hut when morning with its sunbeams Softly shone, In the mirror where she braided Her brown hair, I saw how jaded, Did and colorless and .aded, 1 had grown. " 'Not a drop of dew was on me, Never one; From my leaves no odor started, All my perfume had departed, I lay pale and broken hearted In the sun. " 'Still I said. Ik r smile is better Than the rain, Though my fragrance may forsake ino, To her bosom she wi.l lake me And with crimson kisses make me Young again. " 'So she took me?gazed a second ? Half a sigh ? Then, alas ! can hearts so harden? Without even asking pardon. Threw me back into the garden, 1 llCI'C to lilt*. " 'The jealous garden gloried In my fall How I lie sneering jasmines bid me Light the long grass that now hid me Like a pall. " 'There 1 lay t encalli her window 1 n a swoon, I'ill the earth worm o'er me trailing, IVoke niejiisl at twilight tailing. As the whip-poor-will was wailing To the moon. " 'lint 1 hear the storm winds stirring lu their lair. And I know they soon will lift me In their giant arms and sift me In the ashes as they drift tne Through the air.

It can be_ come rich through small farms, mixed firm, ing and intelligent I ibor. together with its i fictories, its in ties :?:nl i.s forests The mud sills of t!ie whole superstructure of prosperity in the South sire mixed firuiing I and iut' lligont agricultural labor. This opens the door to m i i tficturiug, mining ; and the u iveiling an 1 utilizing of all l!ie j I valuable resources of tlm S.iutli ?mh#?rn I ' prosperity in agriculture will draw capital and enterprise from abroad, as well as create and stimulate tlicm at home. But how is this intelligent labor to be brought about? Wo mean general and almost universal industrial intelligence among the farmers of the South ; we do not questiou that all of these States have very many farmers whose intelligence and enterprise wilt comp ire favorably with those of any other portiou of the Uuitcd States. The South suffers to day, and will con tinue to suffer, by her neglect to teach Southern boys, thirty, forty and fifty years ago. how to work, how to make a living at farming, horticulture, stock raising or some honorable trade, calling or profession that would make them useful to society as as well as to themsevjes. Slavery and African labor formerly sto ?d as a gre it impediment to the proper training of the b ?vs through succe?_ sive generations down to the close of tli e late war. And how are boys taught farming and useful trades now, in 18S2, in the South? Who are their teachers, and what useful and practical lessons do they study in the j great industries of the South ? How many generations will he left to acquire agrieul tui'aI knowledge without teachers, acquiring 1 habits aivl erroneous ideas that will plague then and keep them poor as long as thev live ? ' Highly intelligent fanning will form and fashion beautiful farms, and greatly improve the rural architecture of the South, at'tv5T^ice to the young men. The character and habits of Southern boys, as being formed to-day, will in a great measure be the charac" ter of the South thirty or forty years hence, or sooner. If we bad thousands of indusiri d school* in the South at the present time, most of them agricultural schools, with j efficient teachers, they w uld do the country an amount of good which could be ropre scntcd in part by hundreds of millions of money ; but tee benefits to coming generations, morally, politically, socially and religiously, would be far greater than that wHieh may be reckoned in gold." ? - HoUSKIIoU) llhill l\S lib' Wo.MKN. ? X.> j one who has not boon tried can imagine the discomfort and incnuvenionc; that results i from irregularity in regard to meals.

Again, the various contrivances ami iuf proveuients, for making housework lo.*s labo rious, and thereby saving both time and strength, should be c ui-idered as great a necessity in tin house as upon the fa: m. A woman does not grudge the money expended for machinery in carrying on the business of the farm, and if she did it would probably make no diflerenee, ami it is just that she. too, should avail herself < f the helps that ( lighten the hibors ot her ?l??p irtmont.

(jo T-> TilK F \nts?The term "Fair" may not always be the most appropriate one for the autumn JShows. Exhibition is a better wortl, hut lar less frequently used. X >t only should the farmer go to the Fair, but he ought to take his family with hiui. The going simply, is not enough. All mem* hers of the housdiol I should make it a piint t > take sou-thing to exhibit. One ol the b<>ys tu iy lake a line colt, and if it is his own, tli -re wid be all the more pride in obtuiuing a prize Another tou may have a yoke of steers that he haj train ?m1 lor the exhibition. As for the girls, then; ;ire a thousand dilfjreut lliiugs that can bo in ido with the uccdlc that will grace the walls of the "Woman's l'aviliou" or the rooms of the Hou -ehold Department. Even so common a thing as bread may be baked with special c ire, and will attract much attention. Then there are the garden vegetables, potatoes?a new kind, perhaps? pumpkins, squashes, &e., aud the predicts of the farm and orchard. It is not wise to leave all things at home, anil then criticise the Exhibition because you can say. "We have belter tilings at home." Togo and take things to the Fair is not enough. The Exhibition should become a school at which all the exhibitors and visitors make a study of the implements, cattle, poultry, fruit, grain Ac., that are there. A farmer may owe his success in growing some crop to the knowledge gained at a town Fair. The firmer that has a real pride in the farm will take great interest in the local Fair, aud will exhibit the best products of farm lie in the boys and gil ls, who are interested cxhib iters :il tlie 1-airs.

It is a place lor asking and answering questions, and the person win) goes through the Fxliibitimi w ithout opening his mouth, is certainly not getting all the good that is within his re it'll It is our adv.ee that till go to the Fair?all take something to show, and all find out as much as possible about the varioil exhibits tli.it are made by others. In this way the day at (he Fair will be a most profitable one. It may be that a pr"tni 11:11 will not^bor only a small part ufthc value that an exhibitor may receive from a Fair, that has beon used as a means for a better understanding of the products of the farm, garden and household. ? America it Agriculturist. ? Advick to Vouno Wit it kits.?Wiiliani Cullcu Hryant once gave the following sensible advice to a young niau who bud offered biui an article for his paper : "My young friend. I observe that you j have used several French expressions in your letter. I think, if you will study the Knglisli language, tliu you will find it capable of expressing all the ideas that you may have. 1 have always found it so, and io all that I have written, I d > uot recall au instance where I w is tempted to use a for eign word, but that, ou searching, I have luinx) n Ultni-ono illJIlV OWI1 laUgUllgC. lie simple, unaffected; be honest in your speaking and writing. Never use a long word when a short one will do as well. Call a spade by its name, not a well known i oblong instrument of manual labor ; let a home be a home, and not a residence ; a place not a locality, ami so on of the rest. When a short word will do, you always lose by a long one. V m lose in clearness; you lose in holiest expression ; and in the esti- j ination of all men who are capable of judg- I ing; you lose in tvput it ion for ability. The only true way to shine, even in this false world, is to be modest and unassuming. Falsehood may be-a thick crust., but in the course of time, truth will find a place to break through. Klegance of language may not be in the po ver of us all, but simplicity and straightforwardness are. Write much as you would speak, and as you think. If with your inferior, speak no coarser than usual ; if with your superior, speak no finer, lie what you say, and within the lules of prudence. No one ever was a gainer hy singularity of words or in pronunciation. The truly wise man will so speak that no one will observe bow lie speaks.

In such localities the potatoes that have becu hilled arc entirely dried up, and will not pay the digging, except those that wore planted early ; while those that have been cultivated level are yet in good order; and if seasonable rains come will give a fair yield. What is true of potatoes is true of corn; though, as yet, the injury is just as great; but we have seen some lie Ids of corn in the dry districts that have been billed so high as to be past recovery unless very licit?j ? ? The immense loss which will be sustained this year by the hilling processought to stir the farmer up to a change; but we suppose but few will realize that they can do anything to carry crops safely through a drouth ; yet it is a fact thit he who fully understands the best methods of cultivation* will very sold un sustain much loss to his hoed | crops, by drouth. 11 is land is kept love] and thoroughly pulverized near the surface; alwiys cultivating often enough to prevent the Pbraiitiin of a crust ; thus keeping up a c instant draught of moisture from below; while he who adopts the hilling system finds it impossible to keep his land well pulverized on the surface. By hilling he scrapes up all llie line earth and places it around the hill, where it soon forms a cru-t that will shed all of the water that in ty fall ; and the hollows between the hills, n >t being well pulverized on the surface, bake hor I, and thus the whole surface is crusted over, and is si uneven thai it is not easily stirred The effect of this is not only to compel what water that falls to oreak through the cru-t in the hollows, and thus descend at once to the subsoil in large streams, where it passes off by the underground streams to K.-v in *i'j Knl /iriut o1j.\ nr.if.tntc I iiu upward current of in i??tur-\ ju-t the sainu as a crust on the wi< i iv* pr' v^-ifs tiic upward current .1 , . 0 1 on llie top of the \vi ?'< "i* I by the flame. the t< ; > an'. . i ces tlio wick dry ; and v out ( dl of t!i in lis: 11 r1 in t . v * 1 hu j soil dry. h-oiuso the p-.v -r to j draw moisture fr> in In-low 'I'herc can he foumi 'oin the love of truth.
