WHAT KIND OF MANURE SHALL WE USE
- - ON OCR GARDENS!
Much depends upon what kind of toil the
garden ia composed of. If it it till clay, we
taoulil manure iu the lull, witn garni and
wood aahei, and in the winter, we would dig
in a good coating of etable manure, orguano.
Guano ma; be used to advantage in the gar
den if it ia applied eurlr, and there ia any
thing in the anil for it ti assimilate with. In
light, aandy lands it should have vegetable
matter in some lm m, muck from the iwamps,
surface mould from the woods, or something
of the kind to mix with it. The great ad
vantage f guanu over other manures is, that
it immediately- becomes soluble in water,
and all loud of plants must be in a solution
before it can be Uken op. Whatever ma
nures are applied to the garden, should be
well turned under. Course manures may be
used it applied in the winter. Hut there can
be mi duubt upon the mind of any thorough
experimentalist, that old, well rotted stable
manure is the very bett lertilizer for a gar
den, as it contains all the requisite fnoJ of
plants, anil, when well rotted, there is little
danger ol uting too much. The manure of
the cow lut may be use I on the garden with
out fear of burning ; it is not as stimulating
as horse manure, but it afer. .The manure
from the chicken-htiuse ia a good garden ma
nure, it should be well pulverised, and if the
garden be drv, mttened before it is ued.
Ml'LCHIXG GRASS LANDS.
Am'ng the pioneer in the cultivation of
English grasses in the Cotton Slates, crop
iiidit-pensahle tn Southern independence,
Henry Hull, E., of Athen, is likely to
hold a distinguished place. Hy mulching
Iilee grass it has been made to flourish on
his plantation in Olethrope county, where it
of the sun, and fertilize the soil. W heat ana respectable young tanner ; wttli ah mil
straw was spread over the ground for the ,some house, nice farm, and beautiful orchard
purpose indicated. Blue grass seed was and garden, and plenty of fine cattle and
sown with that of clover, orchard grass and horses ; but with all these advantage he was
herd's grata, but did nt appear fir a year one of the b.slilulest fellows in town. He knew
or more after the clover ami orchard grass j his own interest in a bargain ; the value of
had made considerable growth, and until at- j his cattle and his crops; ami the respective
ter the ground was slutted by utiaw. It is j merits of all the mure celebrated preachers,
important to know that nearly all grass seed . and politicians in the land, much better than
will lie for vears in the earth or on it, with- j he did his own. Far he was continually un
out losing tneir vitality if they do not germ- deiraiing himself; and his awkwardness, and
mate.
The seed of crab grass is a ease in
point, and familiar to alt
Suite seeds have
been known t lie dormant lor centuries, and
then grow as well as fresti seed, when all.
the condition are favorable.
Mulching grass lands with forest leaves,
or one straw, weeus, cornstalks or the straw
ol train, will be found very useful to cool,
moisten and enrich the soil. Mr. Hull ha
many acres in g as, and find it of great
value to his hogs, mutes, mares and cults,
(and other stork. Fur horses and hogs, nnth-

It me make some sere low estimates
in reference t-v the loss occasioned bv this
treatment in thirty years. First, if the sheep
a . . '
.liora two pound, of wool per head under!
this trratnu nt, they would have .Horn three
p 'und. bad they received gooil care. Se
cond, one pound difl'cience per head on one
thousand sheep makes one thousand pounds;
one thousand pounds in thirty yeats. at forty
cents per pound, twelve thousand dollars.
It is very low estimate, counting slurp at
the lowest common price, that a (luck of one
thousand sheep should yield nve hundred
dollar worth of surplus slock to tell each
years this in thirty years amounts to fifteen
thousand d.dlart. Feed taved by shelter,
say two hundred dolloarteach year, worth In
thirty years, til thousand dollars; simple in
terest at six per cent, on amounts saved in
thirlv years, tnirtv thousand sit hundred and
.. I r .l - - - i . r . L
ninety dollars; drrence of the value of the
flock on hand at the end of thirty years, one
thousand dollars j value or shelters to the
proprietor at the close of thirty years, one
thousand dollars; amount laved siity-five
thousand six hundred snd ninety dollars.
Per contra shelter! cost say three thousand
dollars ', additional gain in feed, say four
hundred dollars each year, in thirty years,
twelve thousand dollars; interest as above,
sixteen thousand five hundred and sixty dol
lars ; for keeping shelters in repair, one thou
sand dollars total thirty-two thousand five
hundred and sixty dollars. Difference in fa
vor of shelters and good eare, thirty-three
thousand one hundred and thirty dollars.
Don't look at this as a fancy sketch; it is s
reality, and the only incorrectness about it
is, that the estimated difference in favor of
good keeping is ia everj particular below the
reality."
SUFFICIENCY OF PORK IN THE SOUTH.
Speculators in Bacon will find that as
winter approaches their chances for making
large profits from that source will become
precarious, and that they will be obliged to
betake themselves to gome more honest call
ing if they wish to "save their bacon."
For some reason unknown, the general run
of people, speculators included, imagine that
everything of real necessity is only to be
found and only to be had in the North, and
especially is this true in regard to meat
stuB. Heretofore a farmer in Tennessee,
Bvvsaaarv. v-a v. Swa ws . M i.imujvv,
or Missouri, or Kentucky, would sell his
I IV. t .1... V.l... ...I-
beeves or fat hogs to the Northern specula
tor, who would have them slaughtered and
dressed, and then sent to New York or
Philadelphia; and in due course of time the
nieatst u IV thus procured would find its way
ti Charleston, Savannah, &c, under the
name or " prime Northern." The blockade
has put a stop t this kind of traffic, and
hereafter the extreme South will be supplied
through means of railwavt but recently
completed, with nieatstuffs direct from foun
tain sources. . It will no doubt surprise ma
ny of our readers to learn that, according to
the statistics of the "hog crop" of the Uni
ted States as given in in the census report
of 1350, the Southern States, including
Kentucky and Missouri, raised upwards of
twenty millions of hogs against ten millions
in the Yankee Slates. Ckartutte Dtmvui.
THE SISTER'S STRATAGEM.

Harry Grave was a good looking, talented,

for Harry would be awkward Harry still.

Tired at last of reasoiiinz and ridiculing,

Ilaaaf Uaavi,
A few morning after this note had been
received by Miss lla'per, Harry and his sis
ter were sitting i the breakfast table when
one of the servants brought a package of let
ters and paper from the office ; one of which
a eery genteel, gilded and perfumed note,
he opened hastily, and began to read. At
he did to, hit face crimsoned, and getting p
in the greatest agitation he began to pace the
floor.
" Why Harry ! wftat on earth It the mat
ter ?yo look a if yon were going into a fit,"
aid the misrhievoo. girl with a mnrk '
lemnity. "Come now, tell me, it It a lv
letter, a dun, or aomething even more myt
terinus and terrible ?" And aeizing her op-
portunity, the laughing girl caught it from
his hand and fled from the room and up the
broad staircase. -
' Harry followed with all speed; but with
the usual ill luck, fell up stairs, which gave
the little mischief tune to run her eyes over
its contents, before he could rise and recov
er himself.
" Come now, Harrv, up to my room, and
don t be angrv, that's a dear;" said she
coaxingly. " I've been mistrusting this af
fair a ions time, but I didn't stipne vim
had courage enough to make the avowal that
is implied in that letter."
Nor had I, flattie, and this is why this
confounded me so. It seemed to be an an-
fswer to my thoughts, but not to anything I
ii :.. l- 1 ..'ti t. . .
have ever written. For 1 will confess, now
that you dived into the mystery, that I do
love Sarah Harper, and have thought, per
haps a hundred times, that I would teil her
so; but I never have. Hut somebody must
have mistrusted my feelings, and written to
her in my name to solicit such a reply as
this, or else this is a forgery."
' Well, I think I know Sarah's handwrit
ing. Let me read it more at leisure and I
will see."
" Dear Sir: Allow me to say that I was
very much surprised, ami 1 might 'v pLa
