A Word of Caution.
,y%e, have been pleased to see, says the
3hUk-0gee News, that farmers have pur
ohased.la.rgo quantities of fertilizers, and
yet we feel concerned for the result, and
why? We fear haste and carelessness
in the^r application. iBut few farmers in
(his section have any experience in tho
application of commercial fertilizers, and
it is to be feared that they will not have
the patience and take the time required
to follow the directions given by those
who have used them successfully. Farm?
ers have been used to haste in planting,
and that will not do, in the use of these
fertilizers, nor indeed with tiny manures.
It takes time and patience to go into all
the details of planting in the use of these,
if. they are made to pay. And where is
tho economy in expending large sums of
money in the purchase of fertilizers if the
hDjieditort gain is lost by hasty and care
jess planting.
Tho season has been very unfavorable
&rjpT?pjaration for planting., and that
will-tempt the farmer to haste and hurry,
and if"he does not rigidly watch himself
he will throw away his dearly purchased
manures. And let him remember that
his froe&men laborers do not like to "go
into the slow and laborous details of ap?
plying: such ^manures. It is a new thing
wifrhithem, and they are opposed to such
innovations, especially where hard work
?involved. You must be firm, and re?
main withr them while you aro engaged
in planting, anrfsoe that your fertilizers
ase^oproperly applied. .Remember that
four success in tho use of these manures
. is mainly in planting, and it must be done
welt,'or you will fail of meeting your ex?
pectations. Then fertilizers will be de?
nounced as humbugs. If they fail, let it
not be your fault,.
It roust not bo forgotten, that the
Southern farmer has much to unlearn as
well as much'to learn, in adjusting him?
self to the system of farming which he
is compelled to adopt. His hasty and
careless way of preparing his ground and
planting he must unlearn, if he under?
takes to uso fertilizers, and expects to
make them a success,- ho must conquer
bis aversion td the little, troublesome de?
tails of business ; he must diligently see
to the little things, to reasonably expect
big things*
'."There is money in fertilizers, as good
farmers have clearly demonstrated, and
wo should regret to see a failure in their
use in tin's crop, for a latal reaction would
follow, and their use, for a time, would
Ba-aJjandoned. and a serious injury to the
forming interests of -the country would
be the result. Will the farmer reflect
upon these suggestions ? Will he see to
itj that this, great investment of money
shall not be lost ?
. How Much is an Acre??As Agri
cultural Societiesare being organized in
various places, and adecper intercut than
usual seems to be felt among farmers on
tbe'strbject of farming, any lil;tle item of
a practical character will be noticed.
Weil,'we Bear of so many pounds of
guano to tho acre?one, two or three
hundred pounds?b"at how much is an
acre ? We look at a plus of ground and
say, or think, it contains an acre, but it
may be more or less, and we may put too
much or too little guano on the plat. An
acre, is 4,840 squaro yards, and we can
step off our field or patch and ascertain
its dimensions with sufficient accuracy
for all practical purposes.
The stepping business is a quick and
easy way of measuring land, provided
you 8tep a yard at a stretch. Then step
121 yards in length and 40 yards in width,
and you have an acre. Or if your rows
are from 485 to 500 yards long, step off
10 yc.rds in width, and you have your
acre; or 161 yards long and 30 wide will
give you the acre. Then, if you want
a iialf or the fourth of an acre, divide tho
above figures.
Layoff your ground for corn four feet
each way?put a tablespoonful of guano,
mixed with sawdust, dampened, to each
bill?ascertain how many spoonsful there
are in a pound of manure, and how many
pounds it will take to manure the fourth
or eighth of an acre?then you can de?
termine with accuracy how much you
ooght to apply r.o an acre, or to a field of
ten or fifty acres.
Lay off your cotton rows threo feet or
three- and a half feet wide ; step off a
quarter of an acre, 10 yards long and 7$
yards wide. Try one quarter with 20
pounds of guano, another wkth.30, anoth?
er with 40, and another with 50 pounds,
and the quarter that makes the most cot?
ton has been rightly manured. Experi?
ment ; don't farm by guess.?A. M. Pres

Cure for Ingrowing Nails.?It is sta?
ted that tho Cauterization by hot tallow is
an immediate cure for ingrowing nails.
Put a small piece of tallow in a spoon, and
heat it over a lamp until it bocornes very
bot, and drop two or three drops bolwecii
the nail and granulation. The effect is
almost magical. Fain and tenderness are
at once relieved and in a few dayx the
granulations aft go, leaving the diseased
parts dry, so as to admit being pared
away without any inconvenience. The
operation causes little if any pate, if the
tallow is properly heated.
? Iff those- who grow poor crops would
blame the- weather and the seasons less
??would drain more, piow deeper,.and en
itch the soil by grasses and manure?they
would find that the weather and tho
seaso?& are not so much to be blamed for I
Ihe failure after all, /
Singular Adventure.?Onco upon a
time a traveller stepped into a stage
eoaeb. He was tv young man starting in
life. He found six passengers about'him,
all grayheaded, and extremely aged men.
The youngest appeared to- have, seen at
least eight}' wivteri Our young traveler,
struck with the singularly mild and hap?
py aspect whieh distinguished all his fel?
low passengers, determined to ascertain
the secret of a long life and tae art of
''making old age comfortable.
He addressed the one apparently the
eldest, who told him he had always led a J
regularambstemio'us li fereating vegetables
and drinking water. Tho young man wa s
rather duunlcd at this, inasmuch as he
liked the good things of this life. Head
! dressed the second, who astonished him
j by saying he had alwajrs eaten roast bee I
and gono to bed legularly fuddled for the
last seventy years, adding, all depended
on regularity. The third had prolonged
his days by never seek or accepting office;
tho fourth by resolutely abstaining from
all political and religious controversies;
and the fifth by going to bed at sunset
and rising at dawn. Tho sixth was ap?
parently mucb_youngcr than the other
five?his hair iWs less gray and there was
more of it?a placid smile, denoting a per?
fectly easy conscience, mantled his face,
and his voice was jocund and strong.
They were all surprised to learn that
he was by ten years the oldest man in the
coach.
? 'How is it that you have preserved the
freshness of life V exclaimed our young
traveler. j
? The gentleman immediately answered
the young traveler by saying:
'I have drank.water and wine ?I have
eaten meat and vegetables?I have dab?
bled in politics and written religious
pamph lets?I have sometimes gone to bed [
at midnight, and got up at sunrise and at
noon ;' he then fixed his eyes intensely up I
op the young man, and concluded with
this remark, 'but I always pay promptly
for my newspapers!'
Then the other old men chimed in
with? ?
'Of course, we always pay promptly,
and in advance, for onr newspapers. No
man deserves long life who does not do
this.'
Then the young man resolved that he
would render himself deserving tff long
life-?and immediately subscribed for five
newspapers, pa3'ing for thorn in advance.
He 'is still living.
Methuselah Drowned in the Flood.
!?We make the following extract from an
article contributed to the Louisvillo Demo?
crat:
All we know of the origin of the earth
and of onr raco we learn from JRcvela
tions. The chronology used by the civil?
ized world is founded on the data furnish?
ed in the Bible. We reckon the date of
the flood from the dates found in the Gth
chapter of Genesis. Wo learn from this
chapter that Adam lived before his son
Seth was born, 130 years; Seth lived, be?
fore his son Enos was born, 105 years;
Enos lived, before his son Cairiau was
born, 90 years; Cainan lived, before his
?son' Mahalahul was born, 70 years; Maha
lahul lived, before-his son Jared was born,
65 years j j'ared lived, before his son
Enoch was born, 1G2 years; Enoch lived,
bef'orn his son Methuselah (687) was born,
95 years; Methuselah livod, acforo his son
Lamech was born, 187 years; Lantech,
lived, before his son Noah was born, 182
years. Noah hence was born Anno Mun-1
di 1056.
In Genesis, 7th chapter 6th verse, we
are informed that Noah was 600 years old
when the flood of-water was upon tho
earth. Add 600 years (his age) to 1056,
the da^i of his birth, and w o have 1656,
the date of the flood. We learn from the
27th verse, 5th chapter of Genesis, that
"all the days of Methuselah were 969
years and he died." By referenco to tho
foregoing table, it will bo seen that Me?
thuselah was born Anno Mundi 687; add
his age (969) to 687, the dato of his birth
and we have 1656, the tima "when the
flood of waters was upon the earth." The
conclusion is as certain as figures, that
the oldest man was drowned for his wick?
edness.
.
A Fight with bedbug8.--"Talk about
bedbugs I" said Bill Jones, who had been
across the Plains, "you should "have seen
some of tlie critters I met in Idaho last
spring. I stopped one night with some
settlers who lived in a log cabin contain?
ing only one room.and a loft. When it
came timo to go to bed, they strung a
blanket across the middle of the room,
and tho settler's family slept on one side
of it and gave me the other. I laid down
to go to sleep, and tho bedbugs began to
gather like lunch-eaters around a free'Jay
out.' I tried to kiver up and keep away
from 'cm, but the pesky varmints would f
catch hold of tho bed-clothes and pull
them from me. They didn't think nothin'
of draggin' me round tho loom if I held f
on. 1 fit 'em till about mid-night and then
I looked s round for some way to escape. |
There was a ladder reaching up into the
loft, aiid 1 thought the best way to get
away :;rom tho blood-suckers was to get
up thar, so 1 did. There wasn't an}' bugs
in the loft, so I laid down congratulating
myself on ni}' esc/tpe.. Pretty quick I
heard the ladder squeakin' as if somebody
was com in' up. Bimeby I saw a bedbug
raise himself up through the hole made in
the floor, and looked carefully around the
loft. Soon as he saw me he motioned to
Iiis chums below?the bloodthirsty cuss?
and cried exultin'ly, "Come up, boys; he's
hero!"
Wife.?There is no combination of let?
ters in the English language which excites
more pleasing associations in tho mind of
man than wife. There is magic in this
little word. It presents to the mind's eye
a cheerful companion, disinterested ad?
viser, a nurse in oickness, a comforter in
misfortune, nnd a faithful and ever affec?
tionate friend. It conjures up the image
of a lovely and confiding woman, who
cheerfully undertakes to contribute to
your happiness, to partako with you the
cup, whether of weal or woe, which desti?
ny may offer. Th s word wife is synony?
mous with the greatest earthly blessing;
and wo pity the unfortunate- olan who is
condemned by fate's severe deeress to
trudge along through life's dull pilgrim?
age without one..
? The Philosophy of Love.?Editors
seldom ever ?full in love?not because they
are not susceptible to the charms of tho
fair, but btcause they haven't got the time
or the monejr, arid it takes a deal of both;
but we have found one who tried it on
anyhow. Just hear how tho poor fellow
philosophizes ovor his melancholy experi?
ence with a swamp angel:
A man loves a girl?be sho lovely as
Holen or hideous as squinting Sallie, with?
out intelligence enough to sot a rat trap
?simply because he can't help it. He can
no more control his feelings in that re?
spect than he can roast on a sunbeam.
We know it?we've been there. We were
smitten with a queenly creature once, and
have since fostered a disgust for her;
but it's like preaching the gospel to a sail?
or?futile.
? Oft i swore to love lier never.
Yet I love her more than ever. ?
Such a girl aa sho was, to? I?none of
3'our short, dumpy, yellowish kind, a foot
and a half between the eyes, and built
like :t scut?c-bwtt?naiy. Her form was
the incarnation of symmetry, and every
movement was sylph-like and graceful?
! but nature didn't break Iii? dies sho was
molded'in, as there were nine more in the
family; her complexion was that of a daz?
zling fairness, which all women sigh for,
like a snowy-white-rose blushing beside a
poppy, her eyes of heavenly enchanting
cerulean, such as arc seen but once m a
creation, into which a follow could gaze
enraptured, and fane}' he had discovered
the only avenue by which his soul might
enter?and then melt into a greaso spot;
but when she "got her vinegar up," or a
bunion hurt her foot a little, those pretty
eyes" of blue would snap like a patent
gopher-catcher, and flash like a flintlock,
and then her mouth?oh! the mouth of
her I nm-m-m ! the sweetest, plumpest pair
of ravishing ruby lips ever mortal sipped
love's nectar from, to which our own have
clung in tho helplessness of ccstacy, while
all the angels seemed conspiring tostnpo
fy us with bliss, bat we were not "stuck
after" her because sho was of such queenly
figure and so bewitching; it was her in?
fernal stubbornness thatcoralled our sym?
pathy. She was possessed of a most
wonderfully developed spirit of contrariety
?contrary as a toe-corn, and would go a
mile to participate in a dispute; she would
stop eternity's time piece for opportunity.
She's gone now, and tho honey-flood ofj
those sweet lips is gobbled up by another.
She "flunged" us. ?

A Good Move.?Senater Pool, of North
Carolina, has introduced a bill which well
illustrates the poor working of the test
oath down South. It happens to be desi?
rable, for reasons not given?but probably
because no other men can be found compe?
tent to fill the positions?that ex rebels
should be appoiutcd postmasters in nu?
merous Southern villages. To remove the
'disabilities from these persons by solemn
act of Congress would be an interminable
job at the usual rate of procedure of that
business. Nor is it probable that the ex
rebels whom the Postoffice Department
would like to appoint would care to ran
the scathing gauntlet of partisan "abuse to
which so many of the same class were
subjected in the fortieth Congress,, with?
out getting a pardon after all. In this
dilemma Senator Pool?doubtless with
the knowledge and approval of the Post
office Department?offers a bill- to dis
?pense with the ironclad oath of July 2,
18G2, for the benefit of postmasters of the
fourth class and their assistants, author?
izing them to take instead the oath of
July ll,. 1808, which simply requires
them to support and defend the Constitu?
tion, &c, and faithfully discharge their
official duties. In other words,the substitu?
tion of the latter oath for .the former is
exactly equal to a removal of all disabili?
ties resulting from participation in the
rebellion. The act of clemency-contem?
plated here would be purer and more
beautiful if it were more disinterested on
the part of the United States. Had the
necessities of the Postoffice not required
the co operation of the men now under
the legal ban at the South, would this bill
ever have made its appearance ? Pur
haps not.?N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
A Hint to the Fair Sex.?I have
found that the men who are really the
most fond of the ladies?who cherish for
them the highest respect?are seldom the
most popular with the sex. Men of great
assurance, whose tongues are lightly hung,
who make words supply, the ideas, and
place compliment in the room of senti?
ment, are their favorites. A due respect
for women leads to respectful action to?
ward them, and respect is mistaken by
t hem for neglect or want of love.

[/Vom the Southern Cultivator.']
Ohas. A. Peabo?y on Commer?
cial Manures.
HIS METHOD OT APPLICATION AND
RESULTS. .
Editors Southern Cultivator : As I am constsmtfy
receiving letters from all parts of the cotton-grow?
ing States, asking my views of Guano?what kinds
1 prefer?how I use it, and what quantities??I
will make the Cultivator the medium of my answer
to all. Some twenty-five years ago, I began to ex?
periment with Guano. First, I tried Peruvian.
This gave good satisfaction, but was, I then
thought, rather expensive. I have since tried all
of the other varieties of note. Some were good,
others worthless. I had come to the conclusion
that the Peruvian, however costly, was the cheap?
est in the end. as a hard-working, industrious man
could manipulate it, with any other substance he
thought proper. I have found salt, plaster, Sow?
er of boaesy swamp muck, &c, valuable to ma
'nipnSatfr with Peruvian Guano, but the labor of
manipulation is great, and in the process of ma?
nipulation, much of tbe ammonia escapes. From
this fact I have been led to inquire, whether there
was not an excess vf ammonia in- Peruvian1 Guano,
and whether it would* not be more advantageous to
pay for the Phosphates, than to pay so much extra
for the volatile ammonia. Whilst full of this
idea, I struck the Soluble Pacific Guano, and was
so well pleased with it, that last year I manured
one-half of my cot ton with it, and? tlte cdier half
with the genuine Peruvian. The same quantity of
eaeh was used per acre. The land was of the
same quality, the planting and culture was in all
respects the same, and when the crop was gather?
ed, it was impossible to tell which was the best.
Now the Soluble Pacific Guano cost me $20 less
per ton, and as a consequence, I have this year
used the Soluble Pacific Guano alone. It cost me
at the Agent's Depot in Columbus, $75 per ton.
It may be well hero to state the character of my
land. I do not live on exactly what would be
called pine barrens, but it is next to it. The older
portion of my land will not, with ordinary culture,
bring three hundred pounds of seed cotton to the
acre. A field of ten acres, which I wished to ex?
periment on with tbe Dickson Cotton, hybridizing
it with my Upland Long Staple. I plowed and
sub-soiled in March, leaving the surface perfectly
level;the 20th of April, I laid it off in lands about
twenty-five feet wide, and sowed Soluble Pacific
Guano broadcast, at- the rate of two hundred
pounds to the acre, This I turned under, with a
turn shovel, then opened furrows three feet apart,
with a Jong point scooter, following in the same
furrow I put two huudred pounds more of the Gu
ane to the acre. Then I threw the furrows togeth?
er into the centre, with a turn shovel, which left
but. a slight ridge, and on this ridge planted the
seed. The Dickson variety bears much thicker
planting than other kinds. The growth and fruit?
ing of the crop was superb?nothing equal to it
had ever been seen in this section of the country,
and if tho worms had not swept all the top and
end bolls, it would havo made two good bales to
the acre. As bad as it has turned out, it has made
a bale to the acre. To a half acre near my dwel?
ling, that I had cow-penned last winter, I applied
two hundred pounds of the Soluble Pacific Guano
in the drill, and, notwithstanding excessive wet
weather in August, and the worms, which took all
the lato crop, I have picked over two thousand
pounds of seed cotton from the half acre.- There
are .those in my neighborhood, who plant land as
good as mine, but without Guano, that will scarce?
ly realize a bale from ten acres this year.
And now a word to the purchaser. If you would
get the Soluble Pacific Guano Genuine, purchase it
i only ot the*authorized agents of the Company. I
have tried the Peruvian and Pacific on my garden
crops, but with no good results. Peruvian Guano
seems to be emphatically the food for the cotton
fruit?other fertilizers may make more weed; but
in the purchase of Peruvian Guano, we are pay?
ing for a volatile ammonia, much of which is
; bound to escape, without benefit to crops. Will it
not be to the planter's interest to take that Guano
which is richer in phosphates, and yet an abun?
dance of ammonia for all practical purposes? The
Soluble Pacific Guano I havo found from sound
practical tests, to be equal to the Peruvian and
much cheaper. I hold that no man can afford to
I plant ootton without Guano.

we do with barn jrard manure. We had tho early
