Think tor one mo in «-J wtuit our coiulitiyn would Im; without tuis source of ier- tility o|>tMi our light soils. I remetu- bef years ago the 1 ougbtiul taiiu er was diwtur'jed by the r< flection, ibat it was «n»U H qil^StlOU of tiBiO when the sn|»t»nl’ ot Peruvian guano must become exhausted. We did uot luby realiz- then that we had at home, in the residiuni of our load- iug ci op a son roe of that precious element, nitrogen, almost equal to uimI far cheaper than Peruvian gnaflo Wfcfile. tteieltMf, cotU»u may be no longer a commercial king, the farmer in his quiet home may well crotrn our glut ions cotton plant which whi e it yields income infe rior to no other, l^ui es behind ih its priceless seed the elements of its owit reproduerton hml of all the food crops which w cultivate. 1 shall present what 1 have to say upon cotton se>-d as a manure, Under tne following tifcnls : First Its vultie; what it chemi cally consists of, and to what crops It should be applied. Hecondly. in wlmt form it should be used. Thirdly. The quantity to be ap plied ’ i consider first, its value and to xjifbal crops u should be applied Cotton seed meal contains about yiglit per cent, ot umiuotiia, two and a half of pfaoaphotie acid and one aud a balfol jK)!ash. The whole seed ooutnins alaiut one-thinl ot tbesei>ro|M>rtious. It is, therefoie, a highly nitrogenixed manure, and is dliiefly %’aluahl« for* this element. Hence it should be used upon all crops requiring nitrogen,embracing iu theory all of our mual field crops excepting alone the (tec. But what has been practical ex perience f lathe oldeu time cot ton seed w as regarded as the very best manure for corn, to which it wsschkdiv applied Upon cotton it was fouud uot to act so well; for some cause, if used in large quanti ties in u green state, it destroyed the stand and gave a sickly hue to the plant, though when the amount was uot too Utrfje, the ultimate etfect was good. The old idea was that it was not safe to use more than • thirty bushels of green seed to the »cie upon cotton, while to corn it might be applied to almost any amount To what was this differ ence due! I hare always ascribed it to the large quantity of caustic ammonia generated by the rotting seed acting too strongly upon the delicate tap rooted structure ot tin* cotton plant; while corn living more hardy and fibrous rooted did not get at Onee or ft*«T the full force of Ibis caustic agent This theory seems to l»e sustained by the fact that acid phosphate combiln-d with the seed prevents ibis injurious ef fect aud in this form it may be used |n any quantity upon cotton I had occasion to observe tills very early after the introduction of acid phoa pbate 1 applied upon a pet field of cotton eighty bushels of seed, combined with four hundred pounds of acid phosphate per acre. As an experiment a part was left without the acid. The contrast w as st rik ing. Where the combination was used the crop, from the start, gave evidence of an active ami healthy manuring, while the cotton seed alone seemed absolute poison. This has probably been the experience of every observant farmer, and the value of combining acid phosphate and cotton seed is now uuiver*ally recognized. To what is this effect due f 1 think it may be ascribed to the same chemical action which takes place iu the compost heap. The acids of the phosphate acting upon the ammonia as generated and fix ing it as a salts and thus not only retaining it from immediate injury, but storing it up for the gradual use of tin- crop. Whethei lln-. the contact sofc tiou or not there is no (lohot that the addition of acid phosphate to cotUmjseed gives to them a value as manure for 00'ton which tjiey never possessed before, and is a practical solution of the question of a supply of nitrogen to the Southeru tanner for all crops aud for all time. And there is to us in the older States this comfortable reflection, that while we may no longer draw our supply ot ammo eiarrom Hie Isles of Peru, we may yet get it in the cheaper form of cot ton need meal from the fields of the where they have uot yet appreciate manure, that just as we seem ^jved the problem of os a manure for cottou, theory has sprung up at va with the old idea that cotton hrae fikspecific for corn. Profeasor Atwater has by a se ties of experiments established to bis own satisfaction, that it is not important and does not pay to use nitrogenous manure for com. This has to some extent been ac- and a Southern scientist, Prb£ White, of Os. has by an ex in which he used saw dust with phosphoric acid and potash, as a substitute for cotton seed, sought to establish the same theory, and from his experiments deduces the conclusion that the chief value of cotton seed to corn, is the bulk which it gives to the small modicum of phosphoric acid which it contains. 1 to show the difficulties the farmer in his search I take the fact to be um: mat the soils upon which these experiments have been made < abounded largely in nitrogenous ' humus aud, thcref'ce, it was n< t necessary to tarnish this element;! but upon our soils, exhausted of! vegetatrie matter by constant til-! lage, it is of the highest importance i to furnish a nitrogenous manure, j The experiment Which 1 am now { making upon this point is decided ly iu favor ot the view. And I think we may go on manuring ou.ri corn with cotton seed witti the full assurance tb t we are acting in ac-j C<rd with the teaching of long ex-i periend and of true'science. I consider secondly, the lortu in! which cotton seed should be used. J Shall we u-e them as whole seed or shall We exchange theiT. for sicalw or shall we crush them upon the farm ? E icb has its advantages. Thu whole seed contains all that the meal does with the advantage j ot bulk. The meal is of more ea.-y and certain application, and strange j to say ot trio ver and more gradual ; action. This feature is important 1 and iqiou mere theory wou'd seem very improbable. I observe that Dr. Jones ot the Cultivator, a very high authority, has fallen iuto the error ot thinking meal quicker than seed, and therefore recommending meal for quick and seed for slow action. The truth is the seed rot sooner than the meal, which is due, 1 think, to the geiminating princi ple causing the seed to swell ami I soften aud thus admitting the air with its oxygen to commence the work of decomposition. {concluded next week.)

Uer system became so affected and reduced that she was confined to bod at my house tor some time, and received the attention of three physicians, and used a dozen bot ties of an extensively advertised blood remedy, all without tho least benefit. She finally commenced the use of B.
