IiCttcr from Mr. JMcifson Commercial vs. Home made Manures. From the Southern Cultivator. Sparta, Ga., May 3d, 18G8. Editors Southern Cultivator: I had written to you that for the present I should not occupy any space in the (Mtkator, but as the planting interest might suffer somewhat from the article of Mr. Gift in the May No., if not an swered, I have concluded to reply to some of the points in it. It is distaste ful to me to say so much about my affairs, and must be to others, and I can only get my consent to do it, from the hope that good may result to the farming interest, so much paralyzed by the results of the war. You are aware that all my practice and teaching has been, that the use of the manures I recommend, gavo the farmer the means of making and using double the quantity of home-made manures. I again repeat this, and as well as I can, with demoralized hilor, still practice upon it. I not only con sider it hurtful to the purse, but sinful to waste manures, or not to use the necessary precautions to save them. My motto is, to increase the fertility of tho soil in a greater ratio than the pop ulation increases. My soil furnishes a portion of tho fuod to raise lish and oysters in tho Atlantic ocean, and if I can make a profit and improve my land by using tho excrement of birds fed on fish, &c, it is my duty as well as my interest to do so. Gen. S. Johnson (I quoto from mem ory) just beforo tho Lattlo of Shiloh tnul t hfl trim tost fit n. " the true test ot a ueneral was success." Ho admitted somo times it ! was a hard rule, but tho only one that ho could bo judged by. I say it is tho only test that will do to try a farmer by. Now I do not consider that I am on trial by Mr. Gift's article, but the discussion involves a vastly important subject one that will survive and be of interest after this generation has passed away. Mr. Gift says, in sub stance, that it is astonishing that I should have overlooked the great prof its of home-made manures, llo is mistaken in thinking that I have over looked them. One of the reasons that I use commercial manures is, that I may save double tho quantity of home made manure. I make double the crops:, have twice tho amount of forago to feed away, and twice as much cotton seed for manure. Mr. Gift has very much over estima ted tho manure he could savo from tho number of stock named, as I will show, by on cstiuiato of the horses only. He ! estimates tho ammonia alone, from I ' I ! fortv horses, (after deducting one-third) lfi,070 lbs., at -10 cts. per lb., equal to ($G,12S) six thousand four hundred and twenty-eight dollars, llo will not doubt that the corn and fodder aro worth moro as manure before they aro eaten by the horses, than after they are consumed ; then ho may savo the third he admits he will lose. The inanuro that will drop in tho stalls from forty horses that work in tho day, (say eight hours in tho field and on tho road,) three hundred days at work and sixty in the pasture, day and night: 40 horses, 1 peck each for .'JO days, makes .. . 0,000 bush. 10 horses, 10 lbs. fodder per day each, makes 120,000 lbs. The corn at 1 per bus. makes 3,000 The fodder at gl per 100 lbs. makes 1,200 One-third dropped in the field, and on the road, while in use 1 ,400 2,800 You fco there is only two thousand eight hundred dollars worth of tho raw coi n and fodder dropped in the lot by tho forty horses. Mr. Gift makes the ammonia alono in 3000 bushels of corn and ono hundred and twenty thousand lbs. of fodder, (after deducting ono third,) worth six thousand four hun dred and twenty-tight dollars, whilst tho wholo was worth in the market, before being fed, four thousand dollars. Mr. Gift prices ammonia at a higher rate than it costs iu guano. 2000 lbs. dissolved bones, cost me at home $07 ; 2000 lbs. peruvian guano, at home-$02. Tho Phosphate in that is worth one-half as much as tho bones -deducting $:3.50c. for that, leaves $0-3.50 for tho 300 lbs. of ammonia (at 15 per ct.) in the 2000 lbs. of Toruvian guano, (that I used last year contained 10J per ct.,) making it cost 19 J cts. ner lb. 4 If Mr. Gift had seen tho blazo that three hundred bales of cotton made, besides oats, wheat and machinery, and fifty-five fine mules, and other stock and property taken from me, ho would think I had felt Gen. Sherman, u not seen mm. It is true, that I mado fine crops be foro I used guano, bones, salt and plas ter ; but nothing to comparo with crops made with them. I will tell Mr. G. what some of the good guano, &c, does. It is self sustaining; it is punctual in pay ments; never repudiates or asks an extension of time ; wants no stay laws or military orders ; pays promptly, and ou an averago as much as one hundred and twenty-fivo per cent sometimes a small per cent, and at other times as high as four hundred ; it enables ono to make double tho quantity of home mado manures; improves "tho land; gives tho means of keeping mere and better stock; improves crops; makes the laborers moro cheerful and willing to woxk ; puts money in tho hands to do fancy farming ; purchases good ma chinery aud tools; will afford some luxuriea as well as substantial ; cna- bles you to work freedmen when they 11. I.. ... . . wouiu oring you in ueot without it. If I could realize all tho profits on $12, 000 to $20,000 worth of guano, I could do well throwing in the vise of land, horse-power, tools, capital to furnish supplies, together with my attention, which alono increases the crop more than half. As largo as j'ou thought my investment last year in manures, my losses in stock and by theft Was equal to that. The guano and the rise in cotton wero tho only things that saved me. Guano pays back the purchase money in cotton lint, which is but little loss of matter, and the guano furnishes more than that los3, and leaves a still larger amount in pocket. It enables one to plow twelve inches deep in a thin soil, inasmuch as the guano placed near the roots of plants, gives them vigor to go forth and find the soluble matter that is diffused so thinly through the land ; without tho use of some concentrated manure, the plant would never have vigor to hunt up tho crop food so deep ly mixed in tho poor land. I will tell you something that guano did for mo when I could direct labor and be obeyed. I made per hand 10 to 14 bales of cotton, 800 to 1200 lbs. of pork, ono mutton, three-fourths of a fat beef or 300 lbs., 8 to 10 colts per year, with corn, wheat, oats, rye, &c, to sell, amounting to $100 per hand ; to keep one yoke of fiue young oxon for every three hands, to ail in hauling muck, slraw, and manure generalh', and keep 200 acres of land uuder a good fence per hand ; six to seven head of cattle, ten to twelve head of hogs, five sheep per hand all besides being a cotton planter. Instead of penning my stock to make manure, 1 left a shade treo for lT twenty-five acres of cleared land The stock would feed until full, then go to the shade to rest, and would drop but little manure until they got in mo tion, twenty to ono hundred yard from tho treo. I would place salt over tho field in the right place ; mako straw pens and shuck pens in tho right place in the field sometimes litter around them. I know this plan paid in meat, manure and dollars. Tho result is stranger than liction. Tho profits have astounded me, and no person who did not know what I commenced with and what I had in 1861, can believe so much could bo made in so short a timo by farming under any system, with or without manures. Messrs. Editors, I am willing to rest tho caso with tho farmers, as to com mercial manures, where Mr. Gift leaves it ; but if you think this will benefit any of j'our readers, you may publish it ; but under any circumstances, I close now on uus subject, ana leave me question of ammonia, bones, &c, to 1 , 1 i. . 1, .,- those wno are interestea in its use. Very respectfully. DAVID DICKSON. Notk To My TitivATF. Cokkksponh kxts Your interesting inquiries have been received. To most of your ques tions you can lind answers in the South ern Cultivator. I havo not tho time to do any more than I am doing. I get a great many orders for tho Dickson Select Cotton Seed. All the credit heretofore for tho improvement, is dua Mr. David Dickson, of Oxford, and I prefer he should get the reward. I have used his seed for twenty years. I con-ider them the best seed out. I have now selected my seed throe times in the last threo years, which will jus tify mo in selling. If I should con clude to do so, I will advertise in tho Southern Cultivator in due time. David Dicksok, of Hancock. Tlic Hot Sulphur Springs of the Kocky Mountains. A correspondent of the Chicago 7W- bune has paid a recent visit to the Hot Sulphur Springs beyond tho Uocky Mountains in Little Wind River Valley and forty miles from South Pass City, and the description he jives of them is very interesting. They lie in a bisin contaimnp; about 1UU acres, and are a quarter of a mile in extent. The mid dle spring is bottomless, seemiug to como from the very bowels of the earth, and the volume of hot water it throws out is positively immenso. The water at the edges was so hot that one could hardly hold tho hand in it, and the temperature gradually increased toward the center. Tho water is of a deep blue color, strongly impregnated with sulphur and very clear. The Indians have long bathed in tho springs, aud call them "great medicino for sick man," and tho party of which tho cor respondent was a member found a bath very invigorating. It is quite a curious circumstance that within a hundred vards of the snrincs a well has been ! dug which contains clear, cold water, I perfectly sweet, and without tho least IUII1L Ul ouipiiui. jluo Oman oucau in this valley are remarkable for the quantities of trout and whitefish they contain. Two gentlemen took seventy four, aof the speckled variety in two hours somo of which weighed nearly three pounds. " No sooner would the hook touch the water," says the cor respondent, " than there was a splash, a jerk, and you knew by tho nervous tightening of tho line you wero ready to land a line fish." 4 A Civil Woud. " If a civil word or two will render a man happy," said a French King, "he must be a wretch indeed who will not give it. It is like lighting another man's candle by your own, which loses none of its brilliancy by w hat the other gains." If all men acted upon this principle, the world would be much happier than it is. The Little People. A little boy one day was playing with a favorite dog on the lawn, and the boisterous Newfoundland happened to knock him over. He jumped up and started for tha house, swearing like a trooper. His mother listened in horror, and calling him to her side, said: "Jake, do you know what becomes of bad little boys who swear, when they die?" "No, tnam." "Well, they go straight to a lake of burning brimstone, where they burn and burn forever." " No, golly, no, not forever ; I'd burn up long 'fore that !" " No, it will be bo fixed that you burn forever and yet stand it," explained Madame. " Oh, well," returned the precious youth, a if I can only stand it I don't care a cent." Wife was undressing little four-year-old Charley the other, evening. He silently felt of his chubby arms a little while and then looking up into his mother's face, and said: 'Mamma, who made me ?" The good man up in tho sky," answered mamma. Char ley turned a steady, sober, searching look through the tree-tops into the sky for a moment, and then innocently cap ped the climax with the important question : " liut, mamma, who took me down ?" A little Westfield, Mass., boy, having climbod to the highest point on a pilo of lumber tho other day, said to his sister that he was the biggest man in Westfield. She said no, he wasn't as big as God, when the little fellow re torted that he guessed God didn't stay round Westfield much. "John," said an affectionate mother the other day to a promising boy, " if j'ou don't stop reading so much you will get so, after a while, that you won't care anything about work." " Mother," replied the hopeful, leis urely removing a very long cigar, and turning another lear, "I have got so now." " Mother," said a lad, to break egg-shells ?" is it wrong " Certainly not, my dear," said his ; "Uecauso I havo just dropped the basket, aud broke the shells an more'n two dozen volks." " Sammy, run to the store, and get some sugar. " Excuse mo, ma ; 1 m somewhat indisposed this morniiijr.

There are ou tho globo 1,288,000,000 souls of which : 3G0,000,0v)0 aro of tho Caucasian race. 552,000,000 are of tho Mongol race. 190,000,000 aro of the Ethiopian race. 176,000,000 are of the Malay race. 1,000,000 are of tho Indo-American race. There are 3,6-12 languages spokeD, and 1,000 different religions. Tho yearly mortality of the globe is, 33,333,333 persons. This is at the rate of 1)1,554 per day, 3,730 per hour, 62 per minute. To each pulsation of the heart marks the decease of some human creature. The averago of human life is 33 years. One-fourth of the population dies at or beforo the ago of 7 years. One-half at or beforo 17 years. Among 10,000 persons, one arrives at the age of 100 years, one in 500 at tains the ago of 00, and one in 100 lives to the ago ot 00. Married men live longer than singlo ones. In 1,000 persons, 95 marry, and more marriages occur in June and Decem ber than in any other month of tho year. One-eighth of tho whole population is military. Professions exercise a great influence in longevity. In 1,000 individuals who anive at tho age of seventy years, forty three aro priests, orators or public speakers; forty are agriculturists, thirty-three are workmen, thirty-two are soldier or military employers, twen nine advocates or engineers, twenty seven professors, and twenty-four doc tors. Those who devote their lives to the prolongation of that of others die the soonest. There are 336,000,000 Christians. There are 5,000,000 Israelites. There are 60,000,000 Asiatic religion ists. There are 190,000,000 Mohamme- clcLUS There are 300,000,000 Pagans. In tho Christian churches : 170,000,000 profess the Roman Cath olic. 75.000.000 profess the Greek faith 1 80,000,000 profess the Protestant. Love and Agd. We doubt not that many a heart, covered by the frosts of even sixty winters, will read the following beautiful lines with the eirtotiotis of yonnger years crowding about it ; and he who never attempts to read pootry of any kind will be instantly touched when his eye falls upon these lines. I played with you 'mid cowslips growing, When I was six and j'ou were four ; When garlands weaving,flowcr-ball.sthrowing, W ere pleasures soon to please no moro. Thi-c groves and meads, o'ergrass and heather, With little playmates, to and fro, We wandered hand in hand together Lut that was sixty years ago. You grew a lovely roseate maiden, And still our early love was strong; Still with no care our days were laden, They glided joyously along ; And I did love you very dearly How dearly, words want power to show ; I thought your heart was touched as nearly, JJut that was fifty years ago. Then other lovers came around you, Your beauty grew from year to year, And many a splendid circle found you The centre of its glittering sphere. I saw you then, first vows forsaking. On rank and wealth your hand bestow ; O, then I thought my heart was breaking ; 15ut that was forty years ago. And I lived on to wed another ; No cause she gave me to repine; A ud when I heard you wre a mother, I did not wish tho children mine. .My own young flock, in fair progression, Made Uli a iileas.int Cli-itv...jo L 1 "i.uUIIM I M n , My joy in them was past expression ; Hut that was thirty years ago. You grew a matron, plump and cornel v, You dwelt in fashion's brightest blaze ; My earthly lot was f ir more homely, J!ut I, too, had my festal days. No merrier eyes have ever glistened Around the hearth-stoue's wintry glow, Than when my youngest child was christened; Hut that was twenty years ago. Time passed. My eldest girl was married, And now 1 am a grandsirc gray ; One pet of four years old 1'vo carried Among the wild-floweret! meads to play, In our old fields of childish pleasure, Where now, as then, the cowslips blow, She fills her baskets ample measure And this is not ten years ago. Hut though first love's impassioned blindness lias passed away in colder night, I still have thought of you with kindness, And shall do till our last good-night. The ever rolling silent hours Will bring a time we shall not. know, When our young days of gathering flowers Will bo an hundred years ago. Sweet Love of Mine. KV GEKI.D MANSE Y. No jeweled beauty is my Ijove, Yet in nor earnest face There's such a world of tenderness, She neods no t tlier grace ; Her smiles, and voice, around my life, In light and music twine ; And deir, oh, very dear to n.e, Is this sweet Love of mine. Oh. joy! to know there's one fond heait, J 'eats ever true to me It sets mine leaping like n lyre, Iu sweetest melody ! My soul springs up in deity, To hoar her voice divine, And dear, oh, very dear to me, Is this sweet Love of mine. If ever I have sighitl for wealth, 'Twas all for her 1 trow ; And if I win Fame's victor wreath, I'll twine it on her brow. There may be forms more beautiful, And souls of sunnier shine, Hut none, oh ! none so dear to me, As thu sweet Love of mine ! A Field Transformed into a Lake. The Jtor'h German correspondent says : A singular phenomenon has been witnessed in the vicinity of a village in upper Austria. On Thursday, August I 10, the soil covering several yokes of land in tho neighborhood of Moll, a few leagues from the town of Steyer, suddenly fell in with a crash like thun der, and w here the oats were waving a few seconds before there suddenly ap peared a lake, lho water of this new est addition to Upper Austrian scenery is clear, its temperature is very low, and it is said to have much resemblance to the glacier lakes. Though the river Steyer passes tho place at no great dis tance, it does not appear that any com munication exists between them ; at all events, there is reason to believe that the lako received no contribution to its waters from tho river, though the con trarv may be possible. The water of tho stream is said to be chemically dif ferent from that contained in the newly discovered natural reservoir. As may bo supposed, all sorts of the ories have been invented to explain this phenomenon. According to one of them the ground had been gradually undermined by tho action of subterra nean water, ana the tall ot tho root oi tho space thus hollowed out occurred as a matter of course. Tho village of Moll is situated at a considerable eleva tion above tho level of tho sea, and the spot where the lake is now to be found was beforo this unexpected change a gently undulating plain.

Twenty-two years ago a couple were married in New York, had one son, lived together ten years, and then, af- i ter losing all their property, procured divorce.

And now that woman has become a rich widow, she .as remarried her first husband, and they are going to Chicago for a second- rand honeymoon. Young men in pursuit or rich wives will be glad to learn the whereabouts of Miss Anna Gargaria, who is said to )c worth S75.000.000.
