Gentlemen : By way of postscript
to a recent communication on the sub-
ject of manures, I enclose a briet article
on composts, which was recently pre
pared as a general answer to enquires
on this subject, which are lrequently
addressed to me by practical farmers
in dillereiit parts ot the State.
AN ith the view of promoting the
manufacture of manures in a small
way, by all our tanners, and the saving
Of an enormous amount of material
which annually goes to waste for want
of a little care and a little instruction,
11 1 uesiraoio 10 piace in tneir nanus a

ble anywhere 111 the State, aild callilisr
loroniy such materials as are generally
accessible.
Here are two which should be pre-
pareu in summer or laii, to be used
inc loiiowing spring; the materials
may be either thoroughly mingled and
Uien thrown into heaps, or laid down
in alternate strata.
Formula 1. Peat, 1 cord.
Ashes, 10 bush.
For ashes may be substituted twice
the quantity of marl, or of leached
ashes.
Formula 2
Peat, 3 cords.

This will give three cords, nearly as

Formula 4 Peat, 10 bush.

For night-soil, may be substituted

of hen house, smoke house and privy,
kitchen and chamber slops, animal
offal of all sorts, soot, ashes, waste
brine, &c; all of which are turned to
valuable account, instead of being al
lowed to pollute the air by their noxi
ous exhalations, and to poison the wells
bv their teachings, as so often happens,
especially in towns. These may seem
small matters, but they are not so to
those who look for the "co uses of
things," and cannot be so regarded by
any to whom the wealth of society are
not also such.
Perhaps you will not consider it an
intrusion if I add a few suggestions on
the subject of the revival of agricultur
al Societies in the State, and the best
means of promoting the ends which
your Society lias m view.
I desire to call your attention to
some considerations, on the propriety
of organizing three subordinate Agri
cultural Societies, corresponding to
the three natural divisions of the State,
viz : Eastern, Middle and YY estern.
3 regions are as diverse in their
leading geographical, climate and ag
ricultural features as it separated be
half a continent. The Eastern division
is characterized by the prevalence of
level or slightly undulating plains and
by peaty, alluvial and sandy sous; the
middle, by a rolling and hilly surface
and clayey and gravelly granitic soils;
the western by a succession ot lotty
mountain ranees witn limnire cross
chains and spurs, intersected and
divided by narrow valleys and elevated
plateaus, with various soils, generally
gravelly aud open,' often clayey. And
these differences are accompanied by
climatic features quite as distinctive,
tne western section neing, in mis re
spect, as strongly diverse from the
eastern, as the latter is from Xew York.
And it is apparent that the agricultur
al products, the modes and implements
of cultivation, the means and sources
of fertilization in a word, all those
matters which constitute the staple of
the discussions of agricultural societies,
must show a corresponding diversity.
What interest, e. g. have the farmers
of Duncombe in the discussion and
experimentation of marls and peat, or
in the cultivation ot the scuppernong,
or cotton? And ou tho other hand,
why should the farmer of Edgecombe
or Perquimans waste his time in study
ing the conditions of stock-raising, or
the manufacture of cheese, butter, &c t
lho suggestion I would make is,
that the leading farmers of the middle
section of the State, Mecklenburg,
Guilford, Orange, &c, unite their
influence and efforts to form a Society
for the discussion and development of
thos3 points which are common to the
running iiiieiesis or iiiuao cWmiip,
such as the proper selection aud rota
tion of crops, the best methods ot re
novating exhausted soils, the kinds,
sources, manufacture, cost, transporta
tion and modes or use ot lertilizers,
&c: while a similar association ot
farmers in the East take up such sub
I" i li 1.. !. . il .
lects as market caruenmcr, tne uiinza
tion of marls, peat, &c, the cultivation
of tho vine and other matters of special
importance to the agriculture of tin.-
region ; while in the A est they will
naturally occupy themselves with cat-
tie, fruit, dairy-farming, &c.
There would remain a large residum
ot subjects, whose interest is as wide
as the limits of the State, which would
belonsr to the proper province of the
State Agricultural Society. Among
those inn v lm mentioned iioiinnUnrnl
