IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS! jj* as 0 *> * should Tlie extreme lateness of the season renders it imperative that Cotton Planters use a jirst class Fertilizer, as it is a well established fact that such an article will cause the Crop to mature a iull month earlier than it would without Manure; and no Planter should try to make Cotton this season with¬ out using Standard Guanos, such as our Manipulated Guano, Guano, Scdt and Plaster Compound, and Phoenix Guano, which we are offering on the following liberal terms: Wilcox, Gibbs & Co’s Manipulated Guano.......$70.00 per ton. Guano, Salt and Plaster Compound..................... 65.00 “ “ Phoenix Guano.............— • • ................... ..... 57.50 “ “ At Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S. C. Payable in Middling Cotton at fifteen cents per pound, delivered at Planters’ nearest Depot, on or before the 1st November next, with option of paying money, if so preferred. One hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds per acre of these articles, applied during April, will advance the Crop and make up for the backwardness of the season, and we are satisfied will pay the Planter a handsome profit, Orders will be filled promptly, by ourselves or our Agents in the interior.

Sweenie in Horses .—Can you or any of the readers of your valuable paper furnish me with a recipe far the cure of sweenio in horse?, if there is is any cure ?—A Subsbcriber. The best veterinarians, we believe, refuse to recognize any such disease as ex¬ isting. Jennings says, “Oases called sweenie are invariably the result of in¬ jury in tome remote parts, as the knee, the foot, etc. When the animal picks up the foot clear from the ground it may be depended upon that the in¬ jury is not in the shoulder ; if how¬ ever, the leg drags with the toe on the ground the injury may be looked for in that locality . H McClure says sweenie “applies, when used by horse¬ men, to a falling away or shrinkage of the muscles cf the shoulder, and indicates not so much a lameness in the shoulder as it does a disease else¬ where—in the foot, or leg, as corns and duease of the pastern joint.— Atrophy should he substituted for sweenie, as it is generally sympa¬ thetic, and, moreover, means that the body or a part is diminishing in bulk. Remove the cause of atrophy or sweenie and the effect will pass away.” We m : ght quote from other authors to the same effect. From what we have said, it will he seen that the word sweenie means nothing as lo¬ cating a trouble. If the cause of what is knowu its, or called, sweenie is in the foot, the treatment would have to be different than if it is lo cated in the shoulder. Our corres¬ pondent must, therefore, find where the trouble is and we may then be ble to aid him. CABBAGE, ONION, SQUASH !
