Stabled Gotten Seed as a Manure for Cotton, EniTOK Sot'TIIKKX Ct r.T?VATOIt:? Just about three yeatfsago, I" made a test on n small scale, ol'stniblcd cotton seed as n manure for cotton, and promised in my artiel? m your paper about it, that I would give the result in tho fall, but neg lected to do so. I havo now tested jth?m thoroughly fo* two years, and think I can confidently recommend thetu to the farmers of the country. The enclosed article on flic subject was intetttJcd for your paper, but I thought I would send it to the nearest newspaper first. J. W. CRAWFORD. Cold1 Spring*, Piekeus co., S. C., Feb. 14, '74. For two years I have used this manure (?Imost exclusively") for cotton, Applyi?g only fifty to sevcuty-five pounds of guano per acre, with the planted seed, in bot tom land. ' ?? . ?'? Previous to the dicovery of this, ma nure, I used guano almost entirely. 'My success with this manure has giyen the greatest satisfaction exceeding any guano J have tried, and I have used the' 'befcf kinds. I will state the results of the use of this manure.. 1 live near the noJthcrn limit of tho cotton belt?almost tin dor the shade of the Blue Ridge. The lauds planted-arc very old, mostly in sedge 27 years ago, when 1 came in possession of them. They were originally good for this papt of the country, aud have been planted iir eotton for 20 years, except during the war. The yield of tho crop hist year from 55 acres was 43 bales, of 420 lbs. This year 40 acres have made 35 bales, of 430 lbs.?Thcae crops were made entirely with this manure, except 75 lbs, of guano to the acre, on half the land (bottom) each year. Had the cat erpillar not injured 20 acres of this year's brop, the yield would have been not less than ten bales more, which would have been 45 bales from 40 acres. I feel cer tain of this yield-, as the same land made 1,430- lbs, per acre last) year,, and only 750 this, which is the belter cotton year of the two. ' The mode of making and applying this manure is simple ami easy, but requires attention, I will stale, in the first place, I have four moles aud one horse, and do not make any of it during the months of June, July and August, an it would en danger the health of the place. The mules stand haltered in separate stalls, and in eaeh one I put about 35 bushels of seed- right from the gin house, These seed arc stirred daily w'th a ma nure fork, mixing the excrement tborugh ly with the seed;, every other day would do, but is better done every dayr only rc quiring about twenty minutes to do it. 1 lind it requires about twenty days to get them thoroughly mixed with exerc meat.?At the espiraSron of this time they arc carried out nnd deposited in an open log house, well covered,and remain till 1 am. ready to put them on the land Occasionally they should be thrown about in this house to prevent burning, or fire fanging. Burning deteriorates their value' and i: cannot be obviated, unless a very large shelter is used, or mixed with somctbong else that will prevent the escape of ammonia, which is objectiona tic, ns it increases greatly the labor of nanling ami applying. 1 apply them by preparing the land j'nst ns I would for any other manure, which should bo deep and close. I apply about 35 bushels per acre; 20 or 25 is enough ibr old red hit d. as they will born the crop in dry time on this kind of land, On low, moist land. '10 bushels or move would not bo loo much, but when this quantity is put on, the plough should be run through them after they arc dc posited in the furrow, mingling the soil with them, so they will not present any mechanical obstruction to the roots of the plaid, while young und delicti to, In fact, this is a good p'nn with manures, but more particularly where they arc abundantly applied. I bed on them ns with other marure. \N hat I claim for this manure is, shut it is the only substi tute for gun no?that is, it is the only manure oxecqf guano, that can be exteh sivelv used. Ofc?>iir?o it can no* Im? hauled and applied w easily and rapidly ns guano, but lour mules etm haul enough for four cr five acres at ono load, and three hands can apply them about as fast as one can guaivo- I use handled baskets in 'distributing 1110%!, Many farmers say they have nofj seed* enough to make this manure. I reply thatl bought no seed for last year's crop or this, but sold over 200 bushels, and had about this much left aftor planting cotton this year. If 800 or 1000 lbs. of" seed cotton aro vnade per ocre, it will be sufficient to manure the land. In conclusion, I will say that those my neighbors whe* have . followed ?this ex nmple, and those who have seen crops, verify all I sayjabout it. If the farmers of the country will.carry cut this plan !nsStated, and are* not. greatly delighted with the result, I shall be sadly disap pointed. The general use of cotton seed applied in tins way would ruin every guano com pany and saue millions of dollars to the planters. I hope I am not over sanguine about this matter. I try to be practical. TRAVELLERS' GUIDE. ' " ? . ?? -M. ?..mi to t.it*--, -.a ttfeutttftd 31 -i fl-il SOl'TII CAROLINA RAtbROA'fL Ciiaklbstok, S. C, Oct. 18-, 1872.
