Mimic minstrel Mocking Bird.
See bim, swinging inliis glory,

Caroling his aui rous story,
Like some wild crusader's byniu!
Now it faints in tun'.- dclr iuu

Troubu iour ot siinnv climes,

tie application of the lime, the viild would not,
have execivl'c! six hundred pounds per acre.
; . rJ ho lime was applied at so late a. period that
the straw, was not 'fully converted to manurcTanl3
: in consequencs the past trjp failed to receive tho
full beneiit ot it.
; .The great desideratum of planters in this sec
anu. as u coiiseouenee, iu ejny uiiuiu nr. uui
cotton growing seasons are. too short fur the full
development of the plant, esccpt in--ektiaw.lv--
nary years like the past ; lieneo the necessity of"
usinc some means to supply, asfar as practicable,
this defect in the climate, by pushing the cotton
to early maturity
I am fully convinced, from fhc small and iiu-
perfectly conducted experiment by me; that Unto
will suplily this desideratum. Its cheapness and ,
. fnoilitiea-of transnortatioli, place it in the power
0f turineis of infilled weans to improve their

. permanency of its effects saves tho- cxpcr.se of
