become it requires only ono.third of the
' labor, and will oftentimes give an equal or
greater profk. . Take Indian corn, for ex.
ample, the average product of which I will
' assume to be thirty buslwtls an ncro. Now
if we make an acre of suitable rich soil
with twenty-five loads of un&rmontcd mar
nure, and tend the crop well, we may get
. ninety bushels of corn from the acre and
the amount has been often' swelled to one
hundred and twenty. -Here thtn is a net
gain of sixty bushels by feeding an acre
well, over the net gain of an acre not fed
well, a In regard to the cost of the manure,
call it if you please 925, and consider it
capital expended. If you deduct this from
the profits cftho well fed acre, there would
still remain difference in favor of the
latter, according to the common scale of
prices , of 8'25 I f you merely change the
interest on the outlay, this would be i 50,
and would diminish the diflerencc between
the good and bad acre but this amount, or
would leave the crop on the rich acre worth
59 more than on tlie pool1 acre.
Estimate the farwcrVcorn crop, at ten
acres, and you will perceive that tlie cultr.
vator of the, ten rich acres receives a net
$580 more than the cultivator of the ten
poor acres. f Carry put this comparison to
tho products of tlio whole farm, ; and we
aliall at once discover why tlie good farmer
finds a profit in an outlay every four-years
of 820 an acre in enriching his lands. But
" If we suppose what Die truth,
tliat the long manure w hich causes the great
increase in the- corn crop, is as. good for tlie
next crop as it would have been,, had it
been summer yarded, as was. once r and is
now often the case,9 the absolute additional
exftense is nothingthe food of tlie corn
crop is absolutely saved to tlie farm. I
might carry r these illustrations to other
crops, to farms and to districts of country.

irE plan of puhlisliing in successive numbers
picUirial works, illustrative of tlie w xnri
of countries, has been a popular one in Eiropc,
and is rapidly gaining favor in our own country.
1 be proposition to name auch a work, devoted to
the scenery of Georgia, although novel, wilt find
universal favor, and be rejrarded, as it is by the
,ui tor, a pun at once lelionous and Icaaible.
" There hi much scnery in our State that is not
surpassed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any
other Slate in the Union. Tho tipper counties

beauties of nature. Much of Iheenerv oOhe
North is inferior' In our own, but is yet visited by
thousands simply Because it has been written.
sua?, and " lionized," by author and travellon
until ita beauty has become universally known
and appreciated. It desirable that attention
' should be directed to our own resource of pietur.
; estj ue in natural scenery, and our own and North.
em tourists will speedily render our beautiful

faster these object. The publication of the pro
posed will it believed' be sn encetive bnsw
the foundation, a step towards the establishment
of our literary reputation, to which end much hon
orable enurt w now directed. - 'r-
A third consideration and the last which WiD
now be nrged. is the intrinsic value of Sfeh publi.
cation a."GsoaoiA IiJJUTaATEU." It will embody
the represent nitons of the beautiful and sublime in
our State scenery, and afford to alt, a't a trilling
expense, picture of our ruoun tains, cataracts, pub.
be buildings, wbicit they may or -may not
otherwise behold, but which, in either, ease, would
afford peculnr pleasure.
.The proposed work will be executed in a style
superior to any similar pictorial work in the coun
try. The plates wilt bo executed on steel by cm.
inent engravers, from original drawing, made ex.
pressly for the purpnoo, by Mr. T. Addison Rich,
aril, of Agusta.- 'ilie engravings will bs aceom
paniesl with Irttcrprc descriptions, prepared for
tho work, and in tlii department Uie editor will
secure, aa far aa possible, the assistance and co-op.
eratkjm of our best writcra. In short no pains will

kind, to tlie end that it may meet a welcome, re
