E litors American Farmer:?la .giviug the particulars respecting iny exper- 1 imerits with ammoniated fertilizers, I will J J st r t with corn planted upon land that had ben farmed by outside teuauts until its { fertility was so reducod that it was found ; II too unprofitable to coutinuo its cultivation. ^ This particular field [ prepired and planted corn on, with an application of about 300 ' pounds per ncro of Ammoniated Booe Black, g 'at a cost of 834 00 per ton. This fertilizer * was applied to the cntiro field, excepting about ton acres which had about 200 pounds t per acre applied of^ouili Carolina Hock entire field is of the sauio quality of land, as near as I can judge. The result of this < experiment was one third more com whoro the South Carolina Rock and Kuinit was j applied than where tho Auinioniuted Bone 1 Black was used Tho ammonia eauscd the o corn to fire badly nud materially shirtened fKrt i?rAn VMW V? Vp? A Experiment No. 2?Finding the South ^ Carolina Rock and Kainit proved so satisfactory with iny corn, I concluded to try ,, five t ns on uiy wheat in the fall of 1830? ' but knowing that wheat was composed, to ^ sonic extent, of diffcront constituents or ele- |] mcnt* from con, and that ammonia was thought imperatively necessary to produce " a good crop, I purchased five tons of auimo- ^ mated South Carolina Rick, four tons of H ' auimoniated Auiuial Rone, four tons of ^ slaughter house rofuse and South Carolina Rock mixed, one ton slightly uuiuioniated Auiuial Bone, and?tons auimoniated Bone f Black. I applied the several articles each * by itself on the same character of land aud the same quantity per acre in each instance, ,, . aud 1 am very sure there was not one peck ' more wheat per ac.e on the laud where the ^ most expensive auimoniated fertilizer was a used thau whore the South Carolina Rick aud Kainit was appliid. The clover sowed " ou tiic wheat in the spring of 1831 was unU T| foruily good over the eutire cultivation. W Experiment No. 3.?Tho South Caroli Tl oa Rock aud Kiiuit proving to be much more economical thau the auimoniated fcrr -j- I " ****** - n tho exception of about ono aero nrar y its centre, in the fall of 1881. On this acre I applied 400 pouuds of South Car* ? olina Rock auimoniated, at double the cost of the nou-ammoniuted. At harvest time \\ there was not one particle of difference * in the wheat, either iu ouautitv or nualilv ' * * A V On another field ? used Aniuial Bine nmuioniutcd, South Carolina llock and a Kainit nt half the cost of tho two first jr named. There wa9 no preceptible difference in the yield or quulity of wheat, where ? the same kind of wheat was sowed, and so clearly was this developed that the party who threshed my grain, a very practical Ti New England gentleman, remarked that there would bo a groat demand for South Carolina llock and Kainit this fall. This same gentleman has been threshing my grain ^ for tho last four years, and as he is a live Q< Yankee, ha9 been watching my experiments very closely, and so thoroughly couvioced u , was he last fall of the supjriority of tho ' South Carolina llock and Kainit over any p , of the ainmoniated fertilizers, he got me 0 I to procure for hitn sufficient to apply to Ms Pl ' entire wheat crop. This fertilizer cost him, nppliod to the land, not over $20.00 | per ton. This season he had the opportu- t| nity of comparing results with a neighbor ? who used a forty-eight dollar ammonia ted 8( fertilizer. They each used the same num- 8i ber of pouuds per aore and seeded tho same u 1 quantity of wheat. The neighbor's laud ti ' ought to bo- the best, as it is river land and - owned by a very praotioul man who tries to 8 I work things to the best advantage. The g( y gentleman .eferred to raised 100 bushels " more wheat (he threshed both orops) than * tho neighbor who used tho forty-eight dol- ^ lur fertilizer. So thoroughly convinced o am I of the uselessness of tho artificial ap ? plication of ammonia to laud, thitl shall 9 rely in future entirely upon thorough cul 1 tivation to attract and retain beneficial at inosphoric influences, and when uiy land is oot in active cultivation make it a point to II keep it well oovorod with olover or mixed grasses,lime upon these,and when fallowed, u apply South Carolina Rock aud Kainit in re seeding down. Phosphoric aoid-and potash are '.he elements most needed in our lands. After these thorough teats I aui inclined to give Di. A P. Sharp all the credit possible for his long, persistent efforts to establish a fact that woulu have saved tho r agriculturists millions if he could have ioflu> euoed them to abandon the use of an article that has boon the jruin of many. To my own knowledge. Dr. Sharp has made a very fti\ne faCiti nna /\f ?Ka niAnt ? ? ? - r~' " ?? ?ujr I in the very fertile oounty of Kent, end in i doing so has ignored the application of am- t ^ moniated fertilisers entirely, excepting in < r making experiments. May he be blessed j with a long and happy life, and the coin* ( ?- munity he has tried to serve so faithfully bo ] brought'to a proper appreciation of his bon* I ^ ost and faithful efforts to serve them i Respectfully yours, T.

II. i( lioTOTHK F.xuts?The term "Fair" '3 may not always bo tlie most appropriate one is for llio autumn Show*. Exhibition is a better word, but far less frequently used, o Not only should the farmer go to the Fair, e but he ought to take his family with hiui. >. The going simply, is not enough. All uicmt. hers of the housdioM should make s ita p/.nt t > take so nothing to exhibit. 0 Que of the boys uiay lake a fioe colt, and if f it is his own, th to wiil he all the more g pride in obtaiuiug n priza Another tou 1 uiay have a yoke of steers that he ha3 train ; ed for the exhibition. As for the girls, i there are a thousand difTcreut things that i can bo made with the needle that will grace 1 the walls of the "Woman's Pavilion" or the e rooms of tho IIou -ehold Department. Even so common a thing as bread may be baked o with special cure, and will attract much atI tention. Then there arc the garden vegeg tables, potatoes?a new kiud, perhaps? pumpkius, squashes, &o., and tho prod jets y of the farm and orchard. It is not wiso to o leave all things at homo, and then criticise v the Exhibition bccauso you can say, "We have better things at homo." To go aud i- lake things to the Fair is not enough. The i- Exhibition should become ascliool at which >, all the exhibitors aud visitors make a study i- of the impleuicuts, cattle, poultry, fruit, i% graiu &c., that are there. A farmer uiay d owe his success iu growingsome crop to tho | 0 knowledgo gained at a town Fair. The r- farmer that has a real pride in the farm e wili take great interest in the local Fair, aud i. will exhibit the best products of farm li.'e in e the boys and girls, who are interested exhibitors at the Fairs. The day at the Fair 1 should be asocial one, every one making it ? a point to meet many neighbors aud others i| with a pleasant word. It is a place for i asking and answering questions, nnd the v person who goes through the Exhibition I- without opeuiug his uiouth, is ccrtaiuly hot g getting all the good that is within his reach, e It is our advice that all go to the Fair?all it take something to show, and all find out as much as possible about the variou exhibits >i that arc made by others. In this way the r day at the Fair will be a most profitable i, one. It may be that a pr-uiium will not bo L ?..i i?r,. c ??r-? r only a small 'part of the value that an cxhibi itor may receive from a Fair, that has beou used as a means for a better understanding i, of the products of the farm, garden aud household.?American Agriculturist. t h Advice to Young Writers.?William f Cullcn Bryant once gavo the followiug sensible advice to a young uiau who had * offered him an article for his paper : "My young friend, I observo that you 1 have used several French expressions in t your lottor.

I have always found it so, and iu all that I have written, I do not recall an % , ' instance where I was tempted to use a foreigu word, but that, ou searching, I have jL iUuJ m Uit? nn? in v own lauguage.? ^ He simple, unaffected; be honest in your speaking and writing. Never use a long word when a short one will do as well. \ Call a spado by its name, not a well known oblong instrument of manual labor; let a home be a home, and not a residence ; a o j place not a locality, and so on of the rest. ^ Wheu a short word will do, you always lose by a long one. Yon lose in clearness ; you lose in honest expression ; and in the esti^ tuatiou of all men wiio are capable of judging; you lose iu reputation for ability. The . only true way to shine, even iu this false world, - is to be modest and unassuming, j Falsehood may ber a thick crust, but in the course of timo. truth will God a place to break a 1 ^ through. Elegance of languago may not j be in the po.vcrof us all, but simplicity and j. straightforwardness are. Write much as you would speak, aud as you think. If ^ with your inferior, speak no coarser than ' usual; if with your superior, speak no Gner. r Ho what you say, aud within the lules of u prudence. No one ever was a gainer by , sin&ularitv of words or in nrnnmimntion a " ' ; r The truly wise uiuu will so speak that 110 one will obtervo how lie speaks. A ts man may show great knowlcdgo of cheui. istry by carrying bladders of strange gases to breathe; but one will enjoy better health, and find uioro time for business, who n . lives on common air." "Sidney Smith once remarked: "After you have written an article, take your pen ot and strike out half the words, aud you wil] in be surprised to see how muoh stronger it is.'' M ??# . n- Judor Mackkt Declines tiib Contest.? ?y Judge Mackey authorizes the statement thai in id view of the present complications, and in obedi? ence to his convictions o' duty, he ha* concluded is- to withdraw from any further candidacy forConag gress in the Fifth Distriat. There is no doubt that this will put an effective period to the Independent movement in that district or render n* it utterly contemptible. Juge Mackey will set im forth his reasons for his oourse in a card shortIt ly. and we doubt not that them will bo credita>y | ble both to his head and heart. ?Col.

In such localities the potatoes that have been hilled arc entirely dried up, and will not pay tho diggiug, except those that were planted early ; while thoso that have been cultivated level aro yet iu good order; and if seasonable rains come will givo a fair yield. What is true of potatoes is true of corn; though, as yet, the injury is just as great; but we havo seen some fields of corn in the dry districts that have been hilled so high as to be past recovery unless very tic??j ..i.. ? The immense loss which will be sustained this year by the hilling process ought 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 that lie who fully understands the best methods of cultivation* will very seldom sustain much loss to his hoed crops, by drouth. 11 is laud is kept level aud thoroughly pulverized near tho surface; always cultivating often enough to prevent the formation of a crust ; thus keeping up a c justant draught of moisture from below; while he who adopts the hilling system fiuds it impossible to keep his land well pulverized ou the surface. By hilling he scrapes up all the fiuo earth aud places it around the hill, whero it 90011 forms a crust that will shod all of the water that may full ; and the hollows bitween tho hills, not boing well pulverized on the surface, bake bar 1, and thus the whole surface is crusted over, aud is so uneven thai it is not easily stirred Tho effect of this is not only to compel what water that fulls to break through tbo crust in the hollows, and thus descend at odcc to tho subsoil in large streams, where it passes off by the underground streams to the rivers, but the orust also prevents the upward curreut of moisture. ju*t tho same as a crust on the wick ??f a 1 mp prevents tho upward current of oil; win n tho oil 00 tho top of the wick is exhausted by tho flamo, tho light goes out and ieuves tho wick dry ; and when the sun h i".ns out all of the mmture in tlf-'erun ir loaves tho soil dry, because the soil b ? no power to draw moisture from below. - - There can bo found r V 1 >rtu than the love of truth.
