Tfc Pride of Indiajas a Manure, being Replies
to Letters of the Editor on the subject.
Mr. Editor\?With pleasure, I comply
with your request to furnish you with die
result of my experiments on the " Prido.pf
India as a Manure." I have tried it as such
for three or four years back, and can, with
confidence* speak, as to its g$eot usefulness j
My mode of collecting it is somewhat Vlo.y^
ciSy. I suffer the leaves and berries of the.
tre^to Jrop.off in the fall, when I -gatfcl|
them and'throw them as a litter in my cowv
pen. I find" that the cattle cat Jh'e "leaves
with great uppetite. This , manure when
well laid upon the land and listed in, drives
urnrmc nnrl inswvrts; ' I
urr uj uu ouiuu v? IF V? .wfv..-. ?
have tried it on a small piece of my cottonland
for four years, and while, at all times
my other plants were cut down mid destroyed
by insects, 1 -never kn$w. one plant growing
upon the Pride of India manure, td be
touched* I consider the tree an invaluable
one, and have accordingly planted it nil
around my dwelling and negro 'houses. I
should, perhaps, have said, that in collecting
this manure, I mix the leaves and berries
together. The latter contain'a great
deal of rich oil, which may be discovered
by mashing one of them upon tlie floor. If
this hasty letter can in any way serve you,
vou can use it as you think best.
Respectfully, yours,
A SEA-ISLANDER.

i f' **..- "
.Mr* E$tor,?-You ask rfie to say what
haa been the result 'of my experiment on the
Pride of India a? a manure. I am no writer,
and must bog you to excuse me if f express
myself v^y imperfectly in
tgfchis matter. I have never tried the Pride
oflfcdiu upon, any tiling, but corn, and'sow
plants in my vegetable garden. I>hali tell
you bow 1 have triedfc with my cornr"a?*
' what was my success. I alwaysutrlfif ?iy
L trees, as your correspondent of the January
Numbaradvises, analhcn collect 4bele?yes
and berries frowtheliipbs thus loppod off.
These;! put together into toy manure peff
to-rot?which titty wilt-pretty efleciUaHy tlo
before spring*- Wherever threymamire has
been put, I have never had any trouble with
grubs j my com has never been cut do\rh
by them, and I belcive that yo? can get >oi
insoct whatever to live wherever it cato be
smdt. As an evidence of: this,.wben I wish
to get rid of bugs hi my bedsteads ! make a
decoction of the roots or leaves oftlus tree,
and by saturating tlie same with die mb#tge,
I totally destroy or drive them away.' I
have frequently had the cabbages in my gardep.
dreadfully eaten by worms?by throwing
the leaves of this tree 'oyer them, I hayfi
invariably totally destroyed them. I have
never seen the caterpillar; on my place ; bul
I hesitate not in saying that where vdr ^hey
are to be met with, the Pride oflndia leaves
will destroy them. The late Mr. Reynolds
of St. Johu's, Colleton, oi\co told .me, thai
one yew: hie whole plantation, on Wadma.
law, was infested with'these insects, wkb the
exception of a small spot. This spot was
near where several Pirlde India trees
grew, And he never found the traces of ;?r
insect near the cotton. If I lived on the ?>
landr and planted cotton, I would, ere,this,
manure as much a? possible. I consider il
in richness, superior to any Cotton-seed
ever u5?d.* There itf-some little trouble in
using the seed frr nim^m*
ter the cotton has arrived at a w^Jtv v90d*
height, and it can be as eaeiljr cat down, As
the sprouts fiompotton-seed manure. The
corn which f xgtoured with it, produced, me

CARE OF FARMING TOOtSr a .
A topic not yet sufficient^ enforced or
the attention of farmers, is the wasteful .peg.
ligencc evinced in the Exposure'ofjhgricui
tural implements to tlie injuries of tne;p0k
sons. The sled curling and cracking, _bj
the side of the wall in summer, and the car
half buried in snow, and seasoning ift th<
winter storms,are symptoms ofwaste ah*
extravagance, which will ripen into acop
sumption, to be hastened to prematotf
termination by the visits of the sheriffs,?
( The whole secret of wealth, consists in eco
nomv, and the prudent care of those sma]
rills, which without great vigilence, are slip
ping through the chinks of the best wovei
purse; and it may be considered quite a
safe to predict that none of these sloven!;
gentlemen will be prosperous, as to writ
in the style of the calender soothsayers
through the priuted page of the month c
January, "expect snow about these days.
