Agricultural Kxperimeut Station. - j Bulletin No". 7. April 2d J881. Field ETptrUnents. What does my laud need to produce a given erop to the tost advantage, is the living, alpimportant question with .the intelligent farmer. Different soils have very different wants, varying with their original character and with the kind of exhaustion to which they have been sub jected. It should be the aim of the' far mer to supply exactly what is needed and nothing else. It is only in tliia way that the highest profits are made, j If, for ex ample, the farmer puts phosphoric acid, ammonia and potash in one of the socall- ed complete manures nt the Cost of $40.00 per ton, upon his soil whe"u Really only phosphoric :icid isju-eded for his crop upon that 8oil, aml this can i be had at jifUK) per ton, for his imuiediute purpo ses at least, he is throwiug uvyay $10.1X1. It. is ti tle that very often our worn lauds need nil these rtetiieuta of plant-Nod ami the coiuplete manure very generally docs well therefore.- Hut it is not by any means much doubt, for example, whether iu the majority of cases he gets any sufficient -return for the 2 to 3 per centJof ammon ia in the nitrogeuons matter to render it wortlrthc five to ten dollars additional which he has to pay for it. j Tlie farmer asks then, how shall I find exactly what it will pay life blest to apply to my soil for a particular fcrop f Tho laboratory method which has I been pro posed gives a verylincertniu reply. The comparison of the analysis of the soil and Jthe plant tenches us little definitely. The analysis of the soil can of necessity rep resent only a few ounceB of soil at most. Thousands of tons of soil am Vrithin Hach of the crop. What probability is there that the few ounces will accurately rep resent tho thousands of tons There are many other reasons why this method is very unreliable. ; The practical test with the crop upon the soil is worth more than all the analy ses soils the chemist can make. The answer nature makes to theuestions put directly to her in field experiments are far clearer and more reliable than the theories of the chemist. Such experi ments every farmer should conduct for himself. These results would be his sur est guides in fertilising his land, j I present here a simple Scheme for some such experiments having reference to the elements of plant-food most often needed a pou an inexpensive scale. The questionto which the experimenter seeks the answer is, will it pay me pest to use phosphoric acid ammonia or potash upon my soil with this crop. Will the return be best with any one of these alone, auy combination of two of them or with all three together f I j An acre of partially exhausted soil is selected of as uniform character, and as level as possible, It is accurately divid ed into ten parallel strips. The different substances are applied as illustrated by the diagram,, three lots being left with no manure to serve as standards of compari son. Nothing. . 2. Phosphoric acid. . w - r i 3. Ammonia. 4.

Corn, and cotton will be found convenient crops W ptllUUV TT I fell A UU.Ugll ft AIJ IO" riety of field or garden crops adapt them selves to such experiments. .. If the experiments have been' carefully conducted the farmer will see clearly from the results which element or elements of plant-food were needed for this crop.- Of course many more factors come into the problem in practice and must be .consid ered" in' drawing the final conclusions. But the system of experiments present here iu merest outline will be found to be in any case very instructive. ' The necessary chemicals will cost un der $8.00. I shall be glad to correspond with farmers interested in such experiments and will sdpply them with further direc tions, if desired. Cnxs. W. Dabxev, Director. From the Raleigh Xews. A Prize Worth Contending For. We have twice before called attention to the "star" premiums offered by the State Agricultural Society to the young men and women of our State. Col. Polk, the secretary, lias favored us with the following particulars and roles in regard to them, which we know will be read with great interest by the enterprising young people of the State ; THE VOUXO MAN'S STAR PREMIUM. To the unmarried man under 24 years of age, who shall bring to the State fair the greatest and best variety of the pro ducts of his own hands, a premium of $50 iu gold. THE YOUNG WOMAN'S STAR PREMIUM. To the numan-ied lady under 22 years of age, who shall bring to the State fair the greatest and best variety of products of her own liauds, a premium of $50 in gold. For the next best display by a young man and young woman, as above, $25 in gold to each. Parties Competing for the above pre miums will be required to observe the following rules 1 1. Each- exhibitor must furnish the secretary with a full list of all the ai ti cles to be exhibited on or before .Satur day, October 8th. 2. The displays for this premium must be iu position and ready for examination by 12 m. on Tuesday, the 11th. . .3. The list of articles furnished the secretary, nnder rule 1, must bo accom panied by the affidavit of the party mak ing the entry, setting forth that the ex hibitor does not exceed the age prescri bed j that each and every article exhibi ted is the product of his or her own hands, and that said articles have all been made since the 1st day of November, 1880. Printed forms of affidavit will be furn ished by the secretary on application. 4. The names of exhibitors must not appear on any of the articles. They will only be made known after the premiums have.becn awarded. 5. Each display will be made ; as a whole, and may be arranged under the personal supervision of the exhibitor. 6. Persons iutending to compete for these premiums must notify the secretary on or before the 1st of August. 7. These exhibitions will be subject to the same rules governing entries made for other premiums, and will not be re moved til the close of the general exhibi tion. The a wards be will made by commit tees composed of ladies and gentlemen mo chosen as to guard most effectually against injustice and partiality. These udges, as well as those for all other departments, will be selected and their services secured as soon as possible.! All awarding committees for the coming fair will be chosen beforehand and with an eye single to their peculiar fitness and qualifications for tho work to which tl.ey may be assigned. Col. Polk asks that all the young men and ladies, who desire to erlter the list for this hiirli honor and this splendid premium, will communicate o with him. He will answer all letter aud inquiries promtply aud cheerfully. State papers, will please copy, , On a certain day, years ago, two men and an Indian squaw arrived at a swampy ; spot with a-wagvn. , They went- to work and stuck up a rude shanty. A man shot a woodchuck and the squaw skinned aud cooked it. They ate the woodchuck. Then they all crawled into the shanty and iwent to sleep. These proceedings, ridiculous as it may seem, are to be celebrated in great style, with much braying of trumpets; and beating of drums. Much gunpowder lis to. be fired and several men blown up, to cele brate the slaying of the woodchuck. j For the proceedings' of those ' two men ! and that squaw constituted the founding of Chicago.

' 1 I Tns Coming Fight I Against Mahone lx ViRorxiA. Washington, April 11. Ex Congressman Goode, of the Norfolk district, has been traveling through Virginia during the past month iu connection with the York town celfcbnrton. ne returned hereto-day and says that his inquiries in all parts of the Jitate Satisfied him that the result of the coalition between the Republicans and Ma hone will be, to unite under Democratic leadership about all the respectability of the State against the rabble that will follow Stahoftts for public plunder. Mr. Goode predicts that the Democrats will carry the State by an overwhelming majority in the fall election. Another well known Virgin bin from Richmond reports the feeling there over the cealition to be quite as intense as Mr. Qoode found it elsewhere. He says that the Democrats have nothing to fear from a union of the Republicans' and Rendjusters In Richmond, for such a union wns itrno- minionsly beaten in November last. Mr. 0ode is now engaged in soliciting subscrip tions among the original thirteeen States for the $250,000 authorized by the York town centennial association. Mr. Goode says all the stock will prolkibly betaken by July Jeff. Davis, in his forthcoming book, col lates the opinions, and utterances of North ern men in 1801 to the effect that there should be no effort made to coerce the South. Among them is the following: The New York Tribune the leading organ of the par ty which triumphed in the election of 18C0, had said, goon after the result of that elec tion was ascertained, with reference to se- c&feion; "We hold, with Jefferson, to the inalienable rights of communities to alter or abolish forms of government that have be come oppressive or injurious; and, if the Cotton States shall decide that they can do better out of the Union than in it, we in sist on lettiug them go in peace. The right to secede may be a revolutionary right, but it exists nevertheless ; and we do not see how one party nan have a right to do what another party has a right to prevent. We must ever resist the asserted right of any State to remain in the Union and nullify or defy the laws thereof; to withdraw from the Union is quite another matter. And, whenever a considerable section of our Union slia 1 deliberately resolve to go out, we shall resist all coercive measures de signed to keep her in. We hope never to live in a republic whereof one section is pinned to the residue by bayonets." The New York Tribune of Tuesday quotes down to this and then stops. That paper reminds u? of the little boy who had gotten down in the barrel to the sugar that didn't taste good. 2s'ec ind Obeicrter. Jeremiah S. Black, who knows more law and politics than most men, directs public attention through a newspaper interview to the novel fact that President Garfield can go into the Senate and make speeches if he chooses. It seems that Number 65 of the standing rules of the Senate, adopted no one knows how long a'go,: provides for a confer ence between the President and the Senate, and. even stipulates that he shall have a seat on the right of the Chair. The veil of secrecy which surrounded the meetings of the first Congresses leaves it uncertain how generally this rule was practiced by the Presidents, but Judge Black avers that they practiced it upon occasion. Later the rule became practically abrogated by the adop tion of writing as a means of communication between the White House and the Capitol, and thus through three-quarters of a centu ry of disuctude has become utterly lost to sight. But it Is still on the list of rules, and the Ex-Attorney General thiuks Gar field might do well to revive it, and use his gilt of eloquence to stop the present dis graeeful dead-lock, and get the Senate down to business, in the interest ot pure tun a3 a Syracuse student would say we hope the President may think favorably of this pro position, and embody it in practice. A little discussion on the floor of the Senate as to the exact terms of the Mentor deal between CoLkliug and Garfield, would make a charm ingly appropriate inaugural for this gentle spring season. UtkaN. Y,, Daily Observer. Miss Hattie Duel has at last succeeded in committing suicide by starvation. She died at 12:45 Monday afternoon. Her final de cline began on Saturday, and from that time she had not-strengtn enough to write her wishes. By signs she indicated that she did not wish to see any more strangers. She had a high fever, but by morning it bad abated and she lay quietly until the hour of dissolution. At noon she completed the forty-seventh day of her fast. It is said that her last meal was eaten on Washing ton's birthday. MISOE1jIANEOUS SoTjTHEiiif Industrial Progress. The capital stock of $300,000 has been snbscrib ed for a cotton factory at New Orleans, and a site has been purchased in the business portion of the city. It is proposed to com mence work on the building at once, and in the meantime the machinery has been order ed.' Work on the New Orleans bftain factory is progressing rapidly, and it il promised mat its looms will be in motion before mid-summer. - Alluding to these and several other manufacturing enterprises now under way ia.tbat city, the New Orleans uupeiHiry remarks that "these clearly indicate the tendency of capital, and portray more, progress in the direction -of manatactunng Industry than has been wit nesssed during any season since the wsr. The Biblical Recorder savs : Rev f? G. Mauley writes to the Central Jlnnthi from Augusta, Kansas, March 17, and says: The temperance question is the topic here and has been for the last six months." Already, he nsseits, "we don't see one drunk man where we saw twenty one year ago. Blear-eyed, bloated drnnk- ards begin already to look ruddy and heal thy. It is a time of rejoicing with God's people." Heclosesthus: "Sincethe strin gent temperance bill that recently passed our Legislature and goes on to our stat utes as a law came into existence, a ter rible wail has come up from some of our local papers in leJialf of our churches. What can they do without wine in the sacrament t I don't know how you do iu idissoun. But we (I mean the Baptists) here in Kansas discard the use of fermen ted wine in the sacrament almost unani mously. We are glad that we can say in the future entiielv." It is said that the first cotton seed mill was erected at the South in 1860, and that now there are 51 in operation. There are exported to Europe annually about 130,000 barrels of oil, which doubtless comes back to us, part at least, as olive oil. It is also used in soap, white oils, stcarine, and for hundreds of purposes. The cotton seedcake is a capital cattle food, and made into prop er shape is a splendid fertilizer. Its com parative value as attested by the State chem ist of Georgians $37.50 a ton and it can be sold for $22 to $25 a ton. An rdinary fertilizer that has a commercial value of $37 is sold at $50 to $70 a ton. It is admitted that a ton of cotton seed yields 35 gallons of oil at 33 cents $11.50. It yields about $5.50 worth of cake and $1.50 worth of lint. It costs about $10 for the seed and $6.50 forJ working, barreling, etc., making $16.50 cost on a yield of $18.60, or a net profit of $2 a ton. In this section perhaps there may be a difficulty in obtaining a large quantity f the seed, but surely, enough can be obtain ed to justify running a small mill and mak ing the profit above estimated. II. II. II., writing to the Charleston JVra and Courier, from New York, says : Dr. Philip Schaff, one of t he American reviewers of the New Testament, told me to-day that the books will be for sale on the 30th of May. All the stories about a stock of books now on hand in New York, under lock and key, are false. The Testament will contain a supplement of a dozen pages, giving the suggestions of the American committee which are not accepted by the English re visers. The majority of the American sug gestions were, however, accepted. It will surprise many persons to learn that, al though almost every verse in the New Tes tament has been altered, it will sound very much like the old book. Many alterations concern the punctuation simply or unim portant words. Six New York publishers are now preparing to reprint tbe Testament, as revised, within twenty-four hours of its" appearance upon the market, which will be simultaneous in England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia and the United States. The mar gin of profit is small, however, as the edi tion will be sold at retail for 25 cents for paper covered copies, and 40 cents for those bound in cloth. I forgot to say that the American suggestions rejected by the En glish revisers relate -chiefly to archaic ex pressions which the Americans wish to have replaced by modern forms and the English prefer to retain. " Cheek." No, my son, cheek is not better than wis dom; it is not better than honest modesty; it is not better than anything. Don't listen to the sirens who tell you to blow your own horn or it will never be tooted upon. The world is not to be deceived by cheek, and it does search for merit, and when it finds it merit is rewarded. Cheek never deceives the world, my son. It appears to do so to the cheeky man, but he is the one who is deceived. Do you know one cheeky man in all your acquaintance who is not reviled for his cheek tbe moment his back is turn ed ? Is the world not continually drawing distinctions between cheek and merit ? Al most everybody hates the cheeky man, my son.

Prohibition Does Prohibit. !Here4bIIo8 the truth from the ttolston Methodist a good point : "If prohibition actuall increases the evils it is intended to prevent, it is a remark able fact that liquor manufacturers venders and drinkers ore usually ar rayed against it, while the more so ber and virtuous favor it. The fact is, Prohibition does prohibit, and the . menus of whiske know and feel it. Put the question of local option or liumujuon in any lorrn, before the people, and the last doggery keeper m ine land will go to the polls and ca$t his suffrage against it. What does that mean? Does it mean that the devil is opposed to the increase of dev iltry? That his imps will vote against the enlargement of his dominions'? Nay, verily.. It mcans tiat the liquor combination has sense enough to know that prohibitory laws do have a ten dency to place an embargo on the nqcor t rathe." Manna Loa-Thc Great Volcano of the Occident. Private advices from the Sandwich Islands report that the famous volca no, Mauna Loa, is still in eruption. and has been continuously so since the early part of October. The in habitants say that the present erup tion exceeds in grandeur, extent aud activity any that they can remember, or, of which there is any record. The American residents say that the spec tacle is magnificent and well worth a voyage thithtr. The principal cra ter, some 16,000 feef long and 9,000 to 10,000 feet wide, is constantly- belching forth smoke, steam and flame, and occasionally throws up vast rocks, while the lava pours down the sides of the mountains, nearly 14,000 fett high, in broad streams. Some of the eruptions have lasted thirteen months, and it is thought that the present one will be fully as long, for it has steadily augmented from the outset. It has been com pared with the action of 1859, when the three new caters were opened on the side of the mountan, the loftiest being ten thousand feet above sea lev el, though the two lower were the most violent. From one of these rose a column of liquid firefive hun dred feet high. There are now six craters active, and it is said that the chief one throws out occasionally a stupendous mass of fhmcsix hundred feet in altitude. Several of lire rivers of lava are five or six milfs wide, and these actually form cascades, and in some instances are so voluminous as to run up hill. The lava has also forced its way through subterranean outlets, aud tumbled with a hissing, roaring sound into the sea. Mauna Loa has been far more en ergetic of late years than it used to be, and is now distinguishing itself uni versally. Some of the lava beds -are enormous. The lava streams frequent- cool on top, and when new lava is added the crust breaks with loud explosions. Considerable uneasiness is felt among residents of Honolulu lest tboir dwellings be destroyed, and the opinion is generally expressed that in no volcano on the globe have finer natural pyrotechnics been seen than now are there. - Itailroart Topics. We are pleased with the subjoined criticism of Mr. Best from the Char lotte Observer. We think it just and fair : There is with us, and should be, we conceive, throughout the Slate, 110 disposition to laugh at Mr. Best. He has unquestionably done the State some service and bis worst enemies have yet been unable to show that his purposes wereTiot sincere, (hough his methods have not been such as to ex empt him from criticism. It may prove, and is indeed now very likely to prove true, that he will not beabte to realize the ardent hope with which he closed, amid rapturous applause, his sjHjech before , the Legislature in 188, namely : "To carry them across t!ie Blue Ridge to Paint Rock and Pin-con River," but there is nothing to show that his -desire to do so was not genuine and his faith implicit If he has failed through adverse circum stances of becoming the chief instru ment in accomplishing this great work for the State, he is nevertheless an es sential element in the forces that will accomplish it. The Richmond & Dai Tille company could never have got ten the road from the State on ac count of prejudices which theif undoubtedly- existed aud which need not be analircd j or criticized here, Mr. Best, then, accomplished what th Richmond t Danville road could not uo, and now they in turn promise to do what Mr. Best . could not accom plish. When, therefore, the road ha b-en completed and the celebration of tlie event Js at its higliest, we hope to vote for a resolution thanking Uf Best for his efforts in helDi'm? tho State to build a railroad which she " confessedly was not herself able, to build, and which must in any event prove an advantage to her. Currying the war UiVo Africa, How Vie Democratic Senators are' Pro-1" cceding to dotliis. Cor. Baltimore Sun. Washington, April 11. Two no table speeches were made in the Sen ate to-day, one by Mr. Call, of Fieri- da, and the other by Mr. Vest, of i! auissouri. uotn these Senators carried the war into Africa. Mr. Call took as- lis text the cry for a fir baHot antt an honestfeount, impartial suffrage, &c, charges upon which Ira ve been made with so much iteration anA m. leration by .Republican Senators, and more especially by those from New En- and. He reviewed the laws and regu ations concerning the elective fran chise iu the three States of Massachu- . setts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and showed what is already gener ally known, but seems somehow or' other to have been lost sight of, that such a thing as impartiaF suffrage or a fair ballot is not in existence in cither of those Commonwealthsr By the laws of all these States thousands and thousands of men, white, not black, are absolutely disfranchised,and in Massachusetts, as Mr. Cal Exhibi ted on the most irrefutable evidence, a system -of espoinage and terrorism over the voter is exercised by employ ers winch has no parallel even in the wild romances fabricated by tbe out rage shriekers about the South. As to the disfranchisement of voters, if the . 40,000 or more colored voters of the State of Maryland who exercise the right to deposit-on every electionTday their votes without let or hindrance for the Republican candidates should emigrate in a body to the Republican State of Massachusetts, not 4,000 of them would be permitted to vote un- ' der its laws. As to the State pf 'Con necticut, there never was such a tra versty on popular government arit presents. Mr. Call, in the course of his speech to-day, touched upon the representation in the popular branch of the Legislature, and read from thoT" apportionment system, showing that towns ami cities of from twenty to forty thousand population were only 1 allowed the same membership as towns of five hundred to one thou sand population. Mr. Call-omitted to mention that the large towns are generally Democrat icjL while the small ones arc Republican. It is abotat time that the New England Senators were reminded that they should take the beam out of their own eyes before un dertaking to remove the. mote from the eyes of others. It would be much better if they would take their new ally,' Mr. Maltone, up n their own. .section, and inaugurate the crusade there, where it is most neededJbr a free ballot and an honest count. Mr. Vest mado both an eloquent and an argumentative speech. In reply to the assertion of Senator Sherman, a few -davs ago that no Republican commu nity had ever repudiated, he gave a concise but graphic account of the $5,000,000 indebtedness deliberately repudiated by the Republican State of Minnesota, without one shadow of justification, and also cited the numer ous instances of repudiation by Re publican countifs and townships i i the northwest. Mr. Sherman was un- e able to make any adequate reply to this shewing but be was much more -taken aback when Mr. Vest, quoting from the official correspondence of -the Treasury Department,showel that only eighteen months ago Mr. Sher man had laid down the rule that anyr j federal official in Virginia, found act- . in with therepudiationistsorMahone party would be removed 1 - s . i - i ; i : U ; - i:. j 4-J-' .Lf;f...V i - !.- i . i V-
