Lime as a Fertilizer.
Pai kkmo, Row as, Co., N . C.
January 18th, 1H07.
Mn. Editoh : The. enclosed letter, Irom Dr.
Powell, oil the use of lime as a fert lizer, al
though not intended for publication, contains
information ol so much practical value, thai I
hope you will give it a place in the columns of
your paper, and that other Ldltors will to! low
your example. I have no experience in "com
posting," hut I desire to add one or two sug
gestions derived from the recent perusal ol a
pamphlet, on the "Agriculture of North Caroli
na" written by the late State Geologist Prof.
Emmons, and published in lno, which," I think,
the present Legislature would do well to repub
lish and scatter broadcast over the State.
- It is a well known tact that compost heaps,
hy the tipie, they have properly fermented or
rotted, are reduced to one-half their original
bulk. This has usually taken place at the cud
of some 10 or 12 weeks and is ow ing to the es
cape of 'the gases ami water, w hich may he often
seen and smelt, during the process of decompo
sition. These gases are the most valuable fer
tilizers, and should hy all means he fixed and
retained in the heap. Among others that en
cape, I will enumerate carbonic acid and the
salts of ammonia. The following table will
show the organic elements contained in 1,1X10
pounds each, ol the-agricultural and other pro
ducts enumerated, and serve to Illustrate the
importance of paying the greatest attention to
the chemical changes produced, in the compost
heaps:

Animal bodies j 550 70 KIO 220 j
Now ammonia is a compound ol two of tin
alwve elements nitrogen ami hydrogen, and
guano contains about 84 per cent, of its salts.
Lime disengages ammonia, in compost heaps,
and various devices have la-en used to fix and
retain it. Weak solutions ot copperas (sulphate
of iron) or gypsum (sulphate ol lime) sprinkled
over the heaps, will effect this object; but Prof.
Emmons says "covering the dry manure in the
soil answers the same purpose." Alter mixing
the stable manure, litter Ac, and the lime, as
Dr. Powell does, I have seen it cluew here sug
gested, to interpose at certain distances, in the
heap a thin layer of any kind of soil; and in
addition to thus top dressing the heap, lo cover
it, and protect it Irom the rains, as the sulphate
of ammonia, thus formed, is quite soluble.
Carbonic acid is composed ol the other two
ingredients, in the above table -oxygen and
carbon. The lime absorbs this acid ami lixc
and retains it. It is not improper to add that
guano, also contains something over 20 ier cent
of lime. By composting with litue, we thus see
that we get at least 50 percent, of the virtues of
guano, besides the very large amount of vege
tabla matter decomposed and ready for use.

UilN. J, Q. lUfya-XY, JArnr Sir: Our business
copartner, Mr. Sherrill, requests mc to answer
your inquiries iu relation to the beat model of
using lime as a fertilizer. From what cxf-ii-ence
I have from its use for ten years,! would
say that the most economical mode is in the
way ol compost heaps, made by mixing, as iu
timatcty as possible, say one bii-Jicl or lime to
a good four horse loud of halt rotted manure
from the farm-yard or stable, leaves, lit ter or,
in fact, any vegltable matter. I am now clean
ing up my farm yard, and putting up the glean
ings in pens in this way, to be put in corn drills
fn MarciK I am also using lime as a tup dress
ing lor wheat, when there is a vegitahlu mold
or grass. . When am .,ve fallowing and there
la, confeauently, a large amount ol grass on the
ground unrotted at the time of seeding, I
am Iinung witn ao or jo uusiicis to inc acre
which amount think is good lor a lew years:
as the quantity of lime is benehcial only
i . i - .v. f. e t i
prstporvtoa U the amount ( rageuble matte.
upon which to act, although a surplus docs no
immediate harm and, in time, all comes into
action.
Last fall I visited the country aliovc Balti
more with a. view of ascertaining the best mode
of using lim), and there found the larmcrs
using alxiut, .W bushels to the acre, sowing it
broad cast of their fallow fields, before break
ing up the land. This they do about every
seventh year, before sowing wheat; adding all
the compost manure they can make. They are
xuus raising irni uu to 40 bushels ot wheat to
fh acre. For root crops, such as potatoes, tur
nips, lieets, wnrtzel, carrots, &c, they comixrat
altoget her.
Lime costs 4- cents per IiubIicI at the great
"Texas Lime Kilns," above Baltimore, and corn
is worth 80 cents and wheat $2,00 per bushel.
Here we sell it at 25 cents at the kiln, and com
is wtwth $t,W antt wheat $3,0a-s6 if the far
mers of Maryland and Pennsylvania can make
it pay there, we certainly can here. I have for
years looked upon it as our only means ot im
proving ..iir lands, and have lieen at great ex
pense so far, to manufacture it at a price that
will make it available to our larmcrs generally,
and am happy o lind so many of nu; promi
nent men. as yourself, taking a-i interest in it.
We are now enlarging our nn-aiis of manufac
turing, and will soon la- able to turn out a
larger amount, llmue-h not adequate to the de
mand. We also purpose getting up a "Circular
on the use ot Lime a a Fertilizer," w hich wc
will send you n -non as readv.

Union, in which there is not a loyal man except
black men, I would clothe the black man with
the franchise and other rights under the govern

Mr. Hunter said: "So far as I am concerned it
is a base lie."
The Speaker said that Mr. Hunter's words
were out of order.
Mr. Randall said : "nevertheless true."
The Speaker decided Mr. Randall's remark!
out of order.
A vote of censure on Hunter was passed by 84

Veto Message.
WAgnisoTOH, Jan. 28.
The President's veto of the Colorado bill wai
sent in to day and is as follows :
I return the act admitting Colorado. A lease
of duty prevents my approval. With tho ex
ception of an additional clause, it is the same
that was vetoed in May last, which still awaits
the Senate's reconsideration, and I am unable to
see any renson for changing my opinion, but
see additional reasons for Confirming the former
veto.
The additional section makes tlie bill more
objectionable. The Constitution of Colorado
promises that the laws existing shall continue.
Among these- is one absolutely prohibiting negro
suffrage, and the recent territorial legislature
almost unanimously refused to repeal it. And,
pending the passage of the act by Congress, the
territorial legislature passed an act denying
jury rights to negroes.
The bill before mc grants rights denied by
the Legislature and Constitution of Colorado.
This incongruity, and th protest on tho part
of the people against a 8tate government, clear
ly indicate the impolicy and injustice proposed
in the ennctment. It is a subject of serious en
quiry whether the enactment is not an attempt
to exercise powers not conferred by the Consti
tution. The President submits evidence of the repug
nance of the people of Colorado to a State gov
ernment. The total population of Colorado, is
27,809, only one, fifth of what is required lor
Congressional representation, and argues the
injustice of allowing this small community, one
representative and two Senators. Such admis
sion of States was not practiced in the early
days Florida's admission in 1845, resulted from
sectional strife, which we would do well to re
gard as a warming ot evil, rather than an exam
ple for imitation.
He shows by statistics, that other States,
when admitted, hail a population entitling them
to one and nearly two representatives. Kvery
organized Territory equally with Colorado is
entitled to admission. The logical precedent,
admit Dacotah, Montana, Idaho and the other
Territories, when they present themselves.
Giving us ten new Senators and five Kcpresnta
tives lurnished by a population scarcely entitled
to one Representative in the existing States,
while the average population for twjw Senators
is now nearly a million.
The cnabing act for Colorado was passed
under false statistics and the delilierate derision
of the people against forming a State; besides
the hill is so framed as to render its exec ution
impossible, and tbe question is whether it is not
a nullity or not in itself, and argue at some
length the incongruities of the bill.
In conclusion lie says : The admission of
States is regarded as an epoch in history mar
king the progress of the nation ; but he cannot
see that the proposed proceeding accords with
the uniform policy of the government in the
admission of new States.

Broom Cons. As there is constantly an in
creasing demand for broom corn, it has become
one ot the staple articles of produce in this
country, and a most profitable crop to raise in
certain sections, by those who understand it;
lor in this, asm anything else, you must under
stand what is to be tlone, and how to do it.
Soil that will grow Indian corn, will also pro-
d nee good broom coru. Never prepare soil for
the cul'ure ol broom corn, that produces poor
Indian corn, if you do not wish to reaD the
same results in return. The soil should not be
plowed long before planting, and it may be
prepared in the same manner as for Indian corn,
while care is taken to have the ground thor
oughly harrowed. In selecting the seed arreat
care shculd Ik- exercised in purchasing the very
ueni mat can te procured, as it is a crop that
deteriorates rapidly, and the seed should I
changed often.
Nunc advocate clmngiug tne seed as often aa
every other year, in order to secure a good crop
of fine blush. To lie certain that the seed is
perfectly good, it is always best to test some of
it by sprouting liefore planting ; many a failure
of securing a good crop has arisen in conse
quence of neglecting to test the seed ; too much
caution, therefore, cannot be exercised in this
respect. From the 10th of May to tbe 10th of
June is the usual time for planting ; but gener
ally it is best to put in seed snout the S5th of
May. la planting by hand, mark off the field
in rows three feet apart, anil drop eight or ten
seeds in a hill, the kills being about eighteen
inches apart, and cover with a hoc about an
inch deep with fine moist earth. Where large
fieW aft planted, a seed planter can be used to
great advantage. Itural American.
