EXPERIENCE m APPLICATION or MANURES
i . . T0 TIjE SURFACE.
Mr. Editor: In the Planter for February
I was pleased to find vour article on the an.
plication of manures by ton-dressintr." and
as confirmatory of vour views a tliprin .
pressed, permit me to submit the results of
my own practice in the premises. Some five
yeai a since, when entering on my career as a
farmer, I knew nothing of the merits of the
several modes of applying manure ; but just
then I. met with some suggestions of vour
own in the Planter, and resolved to adopt
them. And now I state in the eeneral that
after five years reading, reflection and ex
perience, 1 am satisfied of the correctness of
your viewg. My practice it this: Whenever
mere is manure to be carried out, I take it
directly to the field or lot where it will be
needed, and spread it from the wacon or
cart, and I care not whether it be in the cold
of winter or the heat of summer sun-shine,
snow or rain. 1 pile manure neither at the
stable, farm-pen, nor in the field.
1 his day (the btli of April) 1 have been
carting manure to the tobacco lot there to
remain in its present condition, till I go to
prepare the land for hilling.
"Sow, to specify some of my experiments
in this regard : In 1853 I cut the pines from
an old field which had been given up as ex
hausted of what little native fertility it had.
During the winter of '53 and '54, . I spread
such manure as I could get on this Geld,
throwing over the broomsedge, weeds, &.e.
At one time the ground was covered with
snow four inches deep, and over the now j
.t. " J .1 . .
me inauuic vtas sprrau. in me spring Ol
'54 this field was fallowed for corn. Not
intending to report the results of the experi
ment, 1 was not careful to measure the corn
that grew on the manured ground any esti
mate, therefore, must be simply conjectural.
My opinion is, that the yield was about five
barrels per acre whereas, without the ma
nure, perhaps a single barrel would have been j
the outside.
Again: In '53 I cutahe pines from another
piece of exhausted land that was thickly
covered with broomsedge. In August, 1854,
on one of the hottest days of the season, hav
ing leisure fur my horses, and mr stables
j needed cleaning out, I had the manure car
ried to the aforesaid piece of ground, and
spread some of it lodging, I well remem
: ber, on the pine brush, and some kept from
the ground by the broomsedge. This land
has been cultivated, and with the following
results: In '55 it was followed and put in!
corn, urmgtng a line heavy crop, in 50 i
.sowed it in peas, preparatory to wheat. The
I peas came so rank that Watt's cuflfand brace
J plow, No. 7, could not cover them. In '57 1
cut fine heavy wheat from the land : anil it

Eabl Wiir.T. We published, some two
or three weeks ago, a paragraph from the
Richmond Whig, in relation to the early
maturity of a crop of wheat grown on the
farm of Charles II. Botighton, Esq., of the
county of Essex. The circumstances ol the
case are these :
Seven year ago Mr. Uoughton found, in
hi field of wheat, four head that had ripen
ed some fifteen days earlier than the remain
der of hi crop. He preserved the grain, and
sowed it, and ha continued re-sowing it
every year, until hi crop comes in, this
year, at least a month earlier than usual. He
lias been applied to from lime to time, to sell
portion of it being offered from four to ten
dollar a bushel for it but he ha refused to
ell any, until he could make his entire crop

Esq., Tappahannock, Va, The advantages
of having a variety of wheat that matures
eany are apparent to all. Most ot the acci
dents and cusualtiesthatbefull the wheat crop,
overtake it late in the season so that a kind
that ripens early, it appears to us, would be
very desirable. The wheat, besides being
harvested so soon in the season, is, we un
derstand, of excellent quality.

RAT PROOF CORN CRIB.
Dr. Cloud Dar Sir: One of vour cor
respondents in the December number of the
Cotton Planter, inquires how log corn cribs
could be built to prevent rats from getting
into them. By cutting vour blocks two feet
anu a halt, or three teet long ; cut in sugar
loaf shape ; little end op, with a cap on it as
large or larger than a barrel head, (or pillars
built in the same shape) will effectually keep
these troublesome animals out: provided,
you make no other way of entrance by lean
ing something against the crib, "or throwinz
your corn in such bjeaps on the ground against
tne cno, as to enable them to get in. trained
cribs will not effect the object, unless secur
ed in the same way ; for rats would not re
quire longer than two nights to cut through
any framed crib, when they can get to it.
inepian will not put on one dollar addi
tional expense, and the saving would be con
siderable. The only crib. I ever saw secure
from rats, was built in this way. liuild your
cribs in this way, and give the corn you have
been raising for rats to a better purpose.

Whose station ia at home;
Then wad the sea-boy's simple prayer,
And let it oft be w!iiper'd there,
While iu far cliinca I roam.

Farewell to Mother! first daa." ahe!

And keep her hull in gxd repair,
To tow the smaller craft.

May some good ship a tender prove,
Well founj in store of truth and love.
And take her under Ice.
Farewell lo C.wge! the jolly boat!
And all the little craft afl iat,
In home's delightful bay ;
When they arrive at aailing age.
May wisdom give the weather gauge
And guide them on their way.

Through stress of stormy weather ;
But summon'd by the Board ohove.

And all tie moor'd together.

Loxo Faces. What a sad mistake it is
to suppose that a man should be gloomy be
cause he is devout ; as if misery were ac
ceptable to God on its own account, and hap
piness an ollence asatnst llis dignity. A
modern writer of much wisdom and pith of
writing, says; xnere is a secret Deitei
amongst some men that God is displeased,
with man's happiness, and so they slink
about creation, ashamed and afraid to enjoy
anything !" These are the people of whom
Hood says
" Tbey think they're pious,
When they're only biliou."
A good man is almost always a cheerful
one. It is fit that bad men should scowl, 1
and look blue, and be melancholy ; put he ,
who has God's smile of approbation upon1
him, should show its radiance in his coun
tenance. Dr. Johnson said he " never knew
a villain in Ins lile that was not, on the :
whole, an unhappy dog" and well he may
be. But an honest man the man with a
good conscience let him enjoy his sleep, and
his dinner, and the love of his w ife, anil the j
prattle of his children, and show a beaming !
face to his neighbor. Purely, there is 110
worse theology than that which teaches that
he who has given such fulness of joy to
beasts and birds, delights in the misery of
men, or that, having filled our hearts with
gladness, we ought ' to give the lie to his
goodness, by wearing faces beclouded with
woe and furrowed with pretended unhappi
ness. PLEASURES OF THE WEALTHY.
In the latter part of the last century, there
flourished in Paris a very wealthy "banker
named Nicholas Beaujou. By his liberality,
churches and hospitals were eudowed and
established, tome of which even at this day
bear his name. He was also at one time, the
owner of the celebrated Klysce-Bnurbon,
long the residence of princes and of persons
of note, w hich he enlarged and embellished,
and which subsequently became a roya! pal
are. The fame ot his magnificence was such,
that an Englishman, jealous of his reputation,
was determined to satisfy himself of the fact.
He called at the banker's residence, and was
shown into the dining-room. The table waj
covered with tempting dishes.
" Your master lives well, at all events,"
said the sceptical son of Albion.
Alas, sir," the attendant replied, " my
master never sits down to table ; he partakes
of only one dish of vegetables."
"ell, lie has wherewithal to gratify his
eyes," continued the visitor, ash looked up
at the pictures.
" Alas, sir, my master is nearly blind."
I suppose," muttered the astonished l'n
lishman, as he passed into another room, " he
comforts himself by listening to beautiful
music." "
Alas, sir, my master ha never heard
that which is played here, he goes to bed
early in the hopeg'nf getting a few moment'
reptwe."
" Well, but your master, at all events, en
joys the pleasure of a walk."
Alas, sir, he can no longer w alk."
So from question to question, and a1a to
alas, the Englishman found that the million
aire Beaujou was the most miserable of men.

THE CATIlOLnTcliuRi SLAVE
QUESTION.
The Archbishop and Bishop of the Catho
lic church, who recently assembled in pro-,
vincial council in Baltimore, have issued a
pastoral letter to the clergy and laity of that
denomination. Among other subject to
which it refers is the slavery question. The
following is an extract:
" The peaceful and conservative character
of our principle, w hich are adapted to every
form of government and every state of socie
ty, has been tested, and mado manifest in
the great political struggles that have agita
ted the country on the subiect of domestic
slavery. Although history plainly testifies
that the church has always bofrierulpil th
poor and laboring classes, and effectually
procured the mitigation of the evil attached
to servitude, until through her mild influence
it has passed away from the nations of Euro
pe, yet she has never disturbed established
order, or endangered the pcare of society by
luiiiiwiiij- mem its 01 paiiauuiropy. ,
"Faithful to the teachings and example
of the Apostles, she has always (aught ser.
vants to obey their masters, not serving to
the eye merely, but as to Christ, and in His
name she commands master to treat their
servant with humanity and justice, remiml
ing them that they also have a Master in hea
ven. We Lave not, therefore, found it ne
cessary to modily our teachings with a view
of adapting it to local circumstance. Among
ti there ha been no agitation on this subject.
Our clergy hive wisely abstained from all in--terference
with the judg-meut of the faithful,
which should be free on all question of poli
ty and ociaI order, within the limits of the
doctrine and law of Christ. We exhort you,
venerable brethren, to pursue this course,
o becoming the miuister of Christ and
dispenser ol the mysteries ot Gud. Lt the
dead bury their dead. Leave to worldling
the care and anxieties of political partisan
ship, the struggle for ascendency, and the
mortifications of ilispptiinted ambition. Do
not. in any way. identify lue inttM'Pkta if niir

but, preaching peace and good will to all
mankind, study only to win to truth the de
luded children of error, and to merit tha
confidence of your flocks, so that, becoming
all to all, you may gain all to Christ."
