AGRICUL T URAL DE PAR TMENT. Commercial Manures. Editors of the Chronicle and Sentinel? Gentlemen : Your well-timed and forci? ble article in your issue of tho 22d inst., on commercial manures, inviting thpso ?? whobnvo tried any of them to publish the result of their experiments, has in? duced me to avail myself of your invita? tion and give my experience. Believing, as you do, that if wo want to farm successfully under the present labor system, we must cultivate less land, and cultivate it better; that is, prepare the soil carefully and manure abundantly. I determined last year to try what deep plowing, assiduous attention at the proper time, and artificial fertilizing.could do, as j compared with the old system of scratch-j ing thb land with an instrument called a ''Scooter," and leaving the atmosphere to supply the olemcnts of fertility. I cultivated a few acres of thin red clay ? land adjoining my residence, and planted corn, cotton, Irish potatoes, turnips and tho usual garden vegetables. I had the land weirbrokcn with two-horse turn plows, then cross plowed, and then bedded. All this was done in season and at the proper intervals of time. I used the fer? tilizer known as Eeid's Phosphate, man? ufactured" by Messrs. Brightwell & Bar? row atilatey's Depot. Oglethorpc county, Ga. I selected this becauso I knew tho manufacturers, and was confident that tho articlo was unadulterated, because I believed that tho Super-Phosphates of ' lime are the most valuable of all the man? ufactured manures, from the fact that they stimulato the crop and permanently improve the soil, and because this fertili? zer was tho -only one of Southern manu? facture. ' I sowed it in the rows for cotton, and in the hills for corn at the rate of 250 lbs. totheacre, an'd planted tho seed on '?.the manure, and I cannot better give you the result than by referring you to the following certificate which I gavo tho manufacturers at tho ond of'the year: Athens, Nov. 6, 1866. Messrs. BrightvJell & Barrow?Gentle? men: I have used Reid's Phosphate this year on cotton, corn, Irish potatoes, gar? den vegetables, and grass, and have found it to bo the most valuable fertilizer [ kno w. On fourteen acres of poor red land, near Athens, I bavo picked over five bales of cotton. I havegathoredtwent}--three and ". a hair bushels of corn to the acre, and the grass seeds, sown, in my fro.nt yard late in April withstood the protracted drought of this year, and are now as thick and strong as if I had sodded the space which they cover. Of Irish pota? toes and garden vegetables, I have had an unusually largo crop. My onions from seed were finer than any l ever raised bo 1 fore from buttons. So certain am I that your fertilizer is the best, thing to renew our lands and give us healthy and early crops, I mean to use it next year on my plantation, in Oglcthorpe county, to as great an extent as-my means will aliow. Respectfully, *Wm. jKT. Browne. "Without manure, with so nripropitious ao agricultural season as that of last year, I should not have made more than "from ? 200 to 250 pounds of seed cottonrand from 300 to 500 Ibushels of corn. ? I remarked that this phosphate gave tlic crop such a start as to enable it to bear the drought? that it matured tho cotton earlier than any other artificial manure (except genu? ine Peruvian guano) I ever saw tried, and that its fertilizing properties are not ex? hausted by tho crop to which it is applied. I tested tho last named property by planting turnips where I had previously planted and gathered air unusually abun? dant yield of Irish potatoes, and without any additional manure I had as largo a crop, both: in quantity and quality, as I ever saw. The character of the manufacturers is a guarantee against fraud or deception as to this manure, and this i*enders it cspe ? *cially valuable to planters now, none of whom can afford to pay 8100 per ton of 2,000 lbs. for red dirt with a guanoish odor. I can only say in conclusion, and with? out attempting to judge of other fertili? zers, that I mean to use Eeid's phosphato on my plantation on evciy acre I plant; I intend to plant no more than I can ma? nure abundantly. Tory respectfully 3'ours, "William M. Browne. An Encouraging: Exhibit. - The Sandersvillo Georgian gives tho following favorable account of Southern ? enterprise: The Northern opinion of our enterprise .and industry has always located tho Southerners in1 the shade of some fence corner,, listlessly watching a gang of ne? groes cultivating cotton, rico or tobacco, or upon horseback riding over his broad acres, whoso productive capacity was alone stimulated by the crack of bis heavy riding whip. That the Southerner pos? sessed the ingenuity Or tho working ca pacity necessary to sustain himself with? out ttic negro, never entered tho brain of tliese speculators in moral philosophy and political economy. But the Southerners, in tho midst of the desolation, which was brought to his door by the vandalism of his "Northern brethren" friends, will demonstrate his self-reliance, his enteqjrise and his ende pendenee ?f negroes and Yankees. Virginia is setting an example to her sister Southern States. Her magnificent .water power is being laid under contribu? tion by the hands of genius and industry. The hum of tho spindle and the loom, the noiso of the busy machinery in every de? partment of the mechanic arts, is waking the echoes of those lovely valleys, where but a few months ago, u a crow in flying over them would have had to carry alon^ its rations." Tennessee, with the incubus of Brown Ib-w.and-his hungry pack of " Loyalists," is reported to have twelve mills in suc? cessful operation,- with an invested capi? tal of ?,1)0,000, and producing an annual aggregate- ot manufactured goods to the amount of $1,000,000. Soutb Carolina, upon whoso devoted head bherman poured out liis vials of wrath, brings into phvy from her ashes, 11 cotton factories, ruuning 27,000 spin dies.-and.996 looms. In the vicinity of Fay etteVille, in North Carolina, there arc one dozen factories. At Raleigh, in the samo Slate a mammoth building is to bo erec? ted for the manufacture of cotton and woolen goods?while Charlotte is now producing cloths and cassimeres of a superior quality. This latter mill alone runs 25,000, spindles and consumes about 3.000 poundsof wool weekly. Mississippi and Alabama are working out the prob? lem of their independence., while Georgia, our own scourged State, sends out a loud amen from 72 mills in operation and 12 in the process of execution. Of these latter, some are projected on a scale to rival the notorious Lowell, or the pre? tentious establishments of the learned Senator Spraguc. Three miles from Cov inoton, and but sixty from this office, has grown up since the war the village of Stcadraan. Under die magic touch of its founder, Mr. E. Steadman, mills for the fabrication of prints, woolen goods, home? spuns and 3'arns are rapidly rising, and will soon suppl}r a demand which has filled heretofore the pockets of our New England tax assessors. Only keep your hands oft, ye self-right? eous Pharisees, and we will soon demon? strate our equality, if not our superiority in your own boasted art of manufactur Facts in Farming. Thero are' some things in farming that are established, namely: That manure must be applied, not only to get up land, but to keep it. up. That wet soil must bo drained, cither by ditch? ing or otherwise. Thatsubsoiling is good. That grain should be sown earlier than it generally is; that it should be harvested earlier than it is done; that grass should be cut when in blossom; and never when ripe, unless for seed. That our soil is not sufficiently worked, especially in hoed crops; that stirring the soil and keeping it well pulverized, is a partial guard against drouth. That tbo most advantageous grain for horses is tho oat; that it improves fodder to cook or steam it. That warm shelter in winter saves fodder, and benefits stock. That the best blood is tho most profitable. That thero is much advantago in selecting the best seed, the earliest matured and the plump? est. That in-and-in breeding is not good in close and consecutive relationship, but must be carried on by foreign infusion of the same blood. That warm quarters and good treatment aro necessary in winter to produce eggs from most hens. That top-dressing grass lands should bo done with fine, well-rotted manure, applied closo to tho ground. That it is, in gene? ral, best to sell produce as soon as ready for market. That blackberries require rich soil; strawberries and raspberries vegetable mould?such as rotten leaves, chip manure, &c. That more lime should be used. That salt, in some cases, is good for land?also, plaster, tho phosphates, guano, &c. That fall ploughing is the best for clay lands; that land should not be plowed wet. That }*oung orchards should bo cultivated. That compost heaps are a good institution. That clay and lime, rather than animal manure, be employed in raising fruit. That manure should bo rotted before it is used. That agricultural papers are an advantage to the farmer. That a cultivated mind is requisite to high farming,and that a good reputation exerts a good influenco on the farming community.?Rural World. -!-+ Hints?Agricultural and Horticul? tural.?Never mix ashes with a super? phosphate. They will change it to an insoluble phosphate. Peruvian guano is best for those remote from railroad or river communication, as it is most condensed. One bushel ot carrots is as good in feeding stock.of any kind, as a bushel ol corn. Carrots like rich, light soil; will yield from 4 to GOO bushels to the aero. The seed should bo soaked thirty-six hours before planting. Ashes and salt aro good manures lor them. Plant in drills about 14 inches apart, and when the plants arc 3 or4 inches high, thin out to 6 inches. January, February and March are the best months for planting. Onions do best in old ground, a light, sandy loam; must bo kept free ot weeds, and "worked constantly; will produce 500 bushels to the acre. Four pounds of good new seed, are sufficient to plant an acre. New land requires five or six pounds. Put in rows perfectly straight, about one foot apart. When the tops be? gin to fall over, tho onion is maturing rapidly; but sometimes, when the crop is backward, it is necessary to bend the tops over. This is done by rolling a barrel or keg over two rows at a time. In digging bo careful not to cut any, for one dama? ged one will ruin all. For manure, uso heavy dressing of well-rotted manure. Peruvian guano and Superphosphates. Sow in February. All the abovo wc condense from the Southern Cultivator, a valuable paper pub? lished at Athens, Ga., at ?2.00 a year. -?-: Labor Saving Machinery/.?Wc arc behind tho ago in almost everything which is calculated to advancotho materi? al prosperity of the country. With labor saving machinery the North was able to export an enormous quantity of bread stuffs, and at the eanio time support a million men in the army. Tho Northwest has been revolutionized by these late inventions, and land has advanced to al? most fabulous prices without a corres? ponding advance in grain, owing to the reduction in tho cost of cultivating it. Tho lime has. passed when wo can ridicule and despise YivnUco inventions. We have do negroes to work for us now, and wc are compelled to imitate tho industrious and hardy men of the North, and avail ourselves of their improvements in all kinds of maehinjjy by which manual labor is dispensed with. We can all take a ride1 now without getting into a wagon, if wo will purchase a Stafford cultivator or a prairie plow, and direct a team. There arc at least five hundred* idlers on out streets, three-fourths of whom are white, who would act honestly and wisely if they sought emp^ment in the coun? try, and would take off their coats and rolfup their slcoves, and go to work like men.?Shreveport Gazette. ?It is a pretty poor practice for a far? mer to dig and delve, tug and grub, and clear up fitly acres of land at a cost ot two thousand dollars, and then iu the third year, surrender about a fifth ot it to briars, brambles, and ox-eyed daises. How Bibles are Made. DESCRIPTION OF THE BIBLE II0U8E IN ASTOR PLACE. The immense brick edifice known as the Bible House, at Astor place, in this city, stands by itself on an open square, bounded by Third and Fourth avenues, und Eighth and Ninth streets, containing about three-quarters of an acre, and hav? ing a circumference of over seven hundred leet. The building is six stories high, built of brick, with freestone copings, and from# its magnitude, admirable propor? tions, chaste, neat and appropriate finish, attracts attention. This vast establish? ment is devoted to the mauufactureofone book?the Bible-! For those who have the time to examine into tho details of this extensive Biblo manufactory, going over the house from top to bottom, it will bo found that it is one of the most inter? esting places to visit in this city. No longer ago than 1776 the Congi'ess of tho United States recommended that the government take immediate measures to import twenty thousand copies of the Biblo from Holland, Scotland, elsewhere for on the breaking out of the revolution? ary war, all British publications were kept out of the country, and a greatscarci ty began to be felt. In less than one hundred years how vast thechangc. The Bible Society printed the past year at his own expense, 1,119,559 volumes of Bibles, Testaments and psalms. And instead of' being obliged to send to England for a supply, that country is now sending to Now York for plates from which to print tho Bible which she cannot obtain within her own borders. It may also|be said with truth, that tho whole world looks to New York for its supply of Bibles, and readers will be surprised to learn that this vast establishment, although crowded to its ut? most, is unable to meet the demand. Bi? bles arc printed at this house in fifty dif? ferent languages and dialects, at all prices, ranging from twenty-five cents up to as many dollars. Besides tho vast number of English Bibles which are printed, the principal languages arc German, French, Spanish, Welsh, Irish, Chinese, Prussian, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Italian, Arabic, Syriac, Hungarian, Bohemian, Polish, Greek, Latin,Hebrew. Dutch, Gae? lic, Finnish, African, Sandwich Islands, Indian, Armenian, AiTawack, besides a Bible for the blind I This forinidalo list of languages gives but an imperfect idea of the vast number of different books and editions which are actually printed. Under the head of In? dian languages for examploj there is the Cherokee, Choctaw, Ojibwa, Mohawk, and Delaware so that the total number of dif? ferent Bittlcs issued is two hundred and sixty-two! This Bible House is tho great central organization for the printing and supply? ing of Bibles, no less than four thousand other organizations in this country alone looking to It as the head. As may bo sur? mised, it is one vast hivo of industry," some four hundred people being at tho present time employed to keep tho establishment in full working order. Tho working force in tho BiDlo House is divided into two de? partments, the oxecutivo and tho manu? facturing. In tho first of these, fifteen person are employed; in the last of them, comprising all the departments of tho engineer, de? positary, and those of printing, electro typing, proof-reading and binding, there are three hundred and sixty-eight making a total of three hundred and eighty-three ! All this for the manufacture of Bibles.? It may be interesting to know that with this force the house is able to turn out about thirty-five hundred each day. Going into tho engine-room, we find the engine to bo a forty horso-powcr steam en? gine, then there is five horse-power square engine, and a donkey engino. Then there arc five cylinder boilers, forty feet long, and three feet in diameter, and it takes five tons of coal per day to feed them !? There are thirty miles of steam pipo in the house! The call for Bibles is so great that the establishment has had to add two now Adam's celebrated platform power press? es, and now the press room contains twen? ty of these mammoth contrivunces in con? tinual operation, thus the society is able to print between four and five thousand copies of tho scriptures during every working day in the year. The great de? mand for bibles at the present time is in the South. In the printing department there are sixty-fivo men and girls employ? ed. The composing room is large, and hero type in all languages may bo seen, with men at work in Hebrew, Indian ,Arabic ? Tho great work which tho Bible House is now engaged upon is tho Arabic scrip? tures. Some idea of the vast amount of labor employed upon it may be inferred when we learn that tho typo from which the book is to be printed had to be manu? factured in this house. No type founder in New York or-tho United States would undertake so costly and delicate a job as tho casting of a font of Arabic typo. In all Europe it could not be obtained, and when the American Bible Society has finished a set of electrotype plates of the Asiatic Scriptures the British Biblo Socie? ty will purchase a set and one will be sent to Syria. One hundred and twenty mil? lions of human beings speak and read this language. For over a year and a half work upon this Biblo has been in prog? ress, and it is confidently expected that by next July it will be completed?a splen? did triumph of American genius, benevo? lence, skill and industry. The estimated cost of four , setts of plates for the whole Arabic Bible is not less than forty-five thousand dollars.? Tho work of translation was- begun in 18 47 and not finished until August, 1864.? Then all the steel punches, matrices, types and elcctrotypo plates had to bo made at the Bible house, and the first plato was not ready to be electrotyped until March, 1866. Compositors had to bo instructed in the art of setting up the typo, which at best is a slow process, a good workman' only being able to put up about forty lines a day. Some six compositors arc at work upon the book. Tho manufacture of a font of this type is somothing fearful to contem? plate,. There are in the Arabic lajiguage about thirty fundamental letters and six? teen accents, as the}7arc called; these with their combinations and variations produce something liko eleven thousand different characters! Ono letter, in the various relations which it sustains, will undergo fifty different transformations in shapo and style, so that the last has little if any resemblance to the primary form. For all these steel punches had to be made ami ?corresponding matrices. It would be impossible, in an ordinary news? paper article, to givo the reader a good idea of the immense difficulties met and overcome in the printing of this Bible.? Suffice to say there is not another font of type in. the worlds like it, and when the printed page is presented to the Arab, it bears so close a resemblance to his manu? script Koran, that it seems as if it wero done by hand, with a pen instead of mov? able type. In tho binding department there are ninety-two males and one hundred and ninety-eight females employed. The rooms are of immense size, some of them being nearly two hundred feet long. It is an interesting sight to see scores of girls seated at long tables folding the sheets, from which the books are to be made; to watch tho process of stitching the back at what seems to be scores of little hand-looms?in short to follow the whole process of Bible making from the casting of tho type to tho depository, where cords of them are stowed away. In the mean while, the gilding is put on the edges of the leaves; some thirty dol? lars worth of gold is used every day.? Where the covers arc manufactured two embossing machines are kept in constant operation. There is in tho depository at the present time a stock of about 125,000 volumes. In one stack thero are 15,000 Testaments?it was at least eight feet square by fifteen in highth. "But for all that thero is such an im? mense number of books on hand, they will last only for a short time, for the ex? ecutive department is sending off from sev? enty-five to one hundred and seventy-five thousand books each month. Last De? cember some 8CT enty-threo thousand cop? ies were sent aw a}'. Rowland Phillips, the paptist cal vicar of Grogdcn, in a nolcd sermon which he preached at St. Paul's Cross, London, in 1535, exclaimed : " Wo must root out printing, or printing will root out us I"? After passing through the Great Bible House, it looks as if printing had got hold of tho " root" of the matter. The Two Armies. The following article is from DeBow^s Review: Here stands a Federal camp; A thou? sand and ten thousand snow-white tents farther than the eye may reach; The Star Spangled Banner of richest silk floats on the breeze which swells with "Hail Colum? bia" or "Yankee Doodle" of some grand band of brass which has fignred in the sa? loons of the metropolitan cities. Sleek and well fed war horses neigh and prance, great herds of lowing cattle are seen in the rear. In yonder tent officers with blazing insig? nia and rich broadcloth send the jest around over all the viands of Fulton market and wines of France. The champagne pops. The fume of regalias scents the air. Vel? vety mats and cushions and cunningly de? vised camp equipage are spread around.? Books, newspapers and stationary, maps, charts and pictures! Enter again. This time you arc in the soldier's tent. What comfortable blankets, and oil cloths hnd overcoats which might defy the snows of Greenland; what well tilled haversacks; a little stove warms him, good coffee cheers him; all of those oxen bleed for him, and well baked bread erowns^iis board!? See that yellow flag. It coveis the hospi? tal. Enter if you please. There are piles of bandages, pills and potions of medicine and specifics in neat boxes and vessels of glass crown the shelves. Those cases are the most exquisitely fine instruments of surgery. Those surgeons and nurses are practiced and expert. There are cordials and wines in those bottles. There are lemons and ice and all the delicacies of the tropics in those enclosures. Those sick, men are clothed in fine linen and re? pose on genial couches. That body is being embalmed tobe sent home. Oh, dreary Contrast! We are now in a Confederate camp; no tents are here; .war has worn them out. No silken banner floats?it is in shreds and patches and can? not be replaced. The solitary fife and drum discourse the inspiring strains of "Dixie." Lank and worn the war horses plucks the leaves and barks the trees; a few cows, tough and old and attenuated await their fate. Under that tree grey frocks, faded and worn, with some lace and embroidery, an old newspaper printed on one side, an old map and a spy glass which was used in the Mexican war, tell that Stonewall Jackson or Forrest are there.? Around the fire, smoke dried, reclining on the naked earth, two or three on a blan? ket, as a matter of economy; the over? coat is in tatters, the haversack is turned inside ofltj the cqnteen has been traded for from Yankee prisoners, the cloak has been picked up on a battle-field?you have the Confederate soldier! Those boots gape and let in the cold and rain; that hat" has been shot to pieces; those pantaloons have lost six inches of the extremity?bxit when can they be replaced? The soldier cooks his hard meal bread and toasts his bacon on the embers, and in his tin cup he has contrived a substitute for coffee, which is not honored by either milk or sugar. No? ble soldier ! He is not cursing the com? missary or the quartermaster, but recount? ing the adventures of yesterday in which many a dear comrade went down, telling rough jokes of the day^ of rejoicing in the glorious conflict of arms which the mor? row will bring forth. But we have said nothing of our hospi I tafs. Seek not to recall the sickening pic? ture. At first we did very well, but soon even ordinary comforts were Impracticable and thousands died from the mere want ot those ministrations of medicine and genial stimulants which it became impos? sible to provide. _ W.
