the dairy c*w. Clempon College, August 13. ?Col. Alvord's advices** already mentioned, was in snh^auce as follows: Taking up the question of worn soils and heir renovation by means of the dairy cevr, he aid in substance : Long cultivated, worn soils are ?>ffeo trnr.- 'aokiv.? *n meobnniofii condition than iu actual mineral ingredieut, and what we need for such soil is home made, bulky manures, such as come from the stable of the cow. Those improve the texture of the soil in addition to adding fertilizing Ingredients, while commercial fer tilizers furnish only mineral ingredients chietly. Green manures are a waste, hence we turn to animated manures as restoratives. Hogs as furnishers of manures are of little consequence, because of insufficiency. Sheep need more consideration as manure producers, and so do horses, but this discussion is confined to cattle as tnauure producers. Hence the selection ot the "dairy cow" as my theme. She produces double dividends?milk and manure?and is the moat profitable animal on the larm. The dairy farm is the most pro uucuve phase of turming. The questions of pasiariug, water, fencing, etc , must he considered. Stall feeding of dairy cattle gives greater opportunity for accumulating stable manures. Such a variety of foiage crops can ho grown here that there is no question of furnishing adequate food stulFs, and by adding silo storage to green pasturing you can have the greatest sulficiency of food. Housing in the South is, ol course, a simple question. The most imf of all questions is milk production. Proper care, economic feeding, etc., are requisite, and though laborious and exacting, are very profitable in returns. Aside from care in selection of breeds (q pnit nnrpnoa^ l^ra yot t>? selection of individuals from these breeds. Oows aunt be ?p. lected with a view to condition* ; to produce milk, buy one kind ; to produce butter, another ; to pasture cattle, one kind ; to stallfed, another. Dairy farming on a large scale has been shown to be profitable. A few good cows near well se lected market furnish grenfur opport unity in this line in this section perhaps than in any other part of the country. TOO FEW MILK COWS liKRE. In this State there are lens than 100 dairy cows to 1,000 people. In dairying states? Vermont, Wisconsin* eto?tbe cows exceed the people. Tons of cheese and butter made in other states are sold here. Not only cities, towns and villages, but in many cases your own families are not adequately supplied in milk, etc. EOT bent, flfttiflfftntirtn in rloi?-v _ ? - ?-- " ""'V ing~t is desirable to have cool i springs, natural pastures, etc.; but not now, as formerly regard ed as essential, for they can be had artificially. On the other hand, markets are better, prices are higher and natural conditions most favorable in every part of! South Carolina for profitable] dairying. Farm lands are invariably made high priced by sue cessful dairying. Whole coun-i ties in Iowa have lieen enriched by the diary cow, which is a soilenricher and mortgage raiser. 'The extension of dairying in South Carolina, the keeping of' more, done in a cautious, judicious, business like manner, will add greatly to the jfriKmltnrnl interests of the Staton mmd en j hance the comfort ami ygpipority f its farmers and chemical minum.

Hardin, chief chemist, who was to have apI pea red on fhe subject, beiim sick. He said in substance : Ot the seventy-odd elements, only about fourteen are much concerned in animal and vegetable lite, and for ordinary practical purposes, only three are of vital interest as plant food. These are household words to tlie lurmor?phosphor ous, nitrogen and potash. These are rapidly removed by plants, and the maintaining of them in the soil is a problem for the farmer. Rotation of crops, etc., with a view to this is properly a question for the agriculturist Farmers early observed the value Guaranteed by Crawford Bros, Funderburk Pharmacy and J. F.

So with clover and other legu minous plants. The year 1840 marks complete change in principles of agriculture, with the introduction of scientific knowledge of mineral fertilizers. Leibig lirst recommended treatment of bone with acid to render available the phos phorous. No matter whence phosphorous comes. Commercial fertilizer, containing all three of these elements is generally known as a "complete fertilizer." The value of a fertilizer depends upon and is determined by the amount, chemical combination and avail ability of its ingredients. A soil is fertile only when it contains all the ingredients needed by the plant and in perfect form. Phosphorous must be applied in compound form, mado solublo with acid. Phosphates are not readily washed out of the soil. The same is true of the other ingredients?nitrogen and potash. This is a wise provision of nature. Nitrogen OCCUrs in forma sulphates, nilrales, etc. Plants get nitrogen in form of nitrates mostly. Potash occurs as kainit, rnnri-ito, pto Mnrintp i?a nrn|? > * * " " i ahlv the cheapest, form. By commercial valuation we mean money value of raw materials containing the three ingredients, and it does not necessarily correspond with agricultural valuation. "There are things in nature," remarked the philosophical physician, "that completely overawe me. Often do 1 experience the great dilliculty in finding language to express myself." "Yes," replied the chemist, bl thought that it must be something that way when I try to read your prescriptions." End of Bitter Fight.
