Top Dressing.
Editor of The Rural Carolinian:
In your May Number you request
vour readers to give you more inform
ation in regard to “Top Dressing,”
with commercial manures. Three
years ago T experimented in various
ways in the application of commercial
manures, more particularly in cotton.
My Jn tan tion was to find outtc/icreand
in what way agiven number of pounds of
guano to the acre should be applied so
as to get the .greatest profit.
The lands were about equal in pro
ductiveness. In the main, the same
kind and amount of labor was given
to each. The result was that those
acres treated as follows paid me best.
One-half the quantity was strewed in
the furrow -on which the beds were
made. I put this in at that time in
order to get my cotton up healthy and
si rong. and to keep the fJ&nt thrifty
and growing during the cool nights of
A pril and early May. The stand was
preserved and the cotton went on
finely. I applied .the balance in the
last of J une and ewtty *iu July, as a
top dressing, with the hope that my
cotton might be pushed safely .through
the “ Rust" season. That succeeded
ulso, rnd I have iu variably top dressed
since.
Rust is certainly the greatest natunfl
enemy to cottor. in this part of South
Carolina. I am at present -strongly
impressed with the belief that it may
be avoided by a liberal use of our
'Charleston phosphates, applied late in
dune or eariy in July as a top dress-
ing.
I agree with “ AY,” in the Mny
Number, that Inuring ol! is very in
jurious to most crops and especially is
it true of cotton, as vast numbers of
.surface roots must be cut in the pro
cess. My suggestion is this 1 ; Your
cotton having b.en “ scraped,” say
week before you commence to top
tires*, strew the guano or phosphate
broadly in the trail of the sweep.—
You may then cover the manure, get
rid of the middle and dirt your cotton
lightly all at the same time by split
ting the middle with two furrows from
mi Arnes, or other good turn plough.
Or what 1 like hotter, split the middle
with a large sweep with the wings
knocked forward a little. My experi
ence and observation leads to the opin
ion that the h-M results can hardly be
attaint'd without Top Dressing. P,
S, C,
the ground we cultivate, than the
heathen consciences of the aborigines
of this continent?
It strikes nte that we disgrace our
moral not less than our intellectual
culture as a natiou of reading and ed
ucated farmers. A nation may know
its duty and do it not. When then ?
It must suffer the wrath of Him who
nude the universe.
D. Lee, in Plantation.
Effects of Stirring the Soil.
A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman having expressed the opin
ion that where the land is clean or free
from weeds and grass, all cultivation
is useless, the editor replies:
The repeated breaking of the crust,
as it successively forms after heavy
dews and rains, mellows the surface
and increases the growth of nearly all
plants. We have known instances
when cultivating the rows of corn once
a week till the crop was too large to
admit further work, increased the pro
duct more titan twelve bushels per
acre; and the past season three harrow-
ings of wheat in spring by the smooth
ing harrow, increased the wheat be
tween five and six bushels per acre
over the unliarrowed field. We could
mention many other examples where
mellowing the soil prevented the bad
effects of drought aud greatly accelera
ted growth.
Potash In Corn Cobs.
Several months ago we published
the results of analysis of com cobs
raised at Lakeside farm, with the view
of showing their nutritive value. The
ash constituent of the cobs was not al
luded to, although some interesting
facs may be stated regarding it. The
corn cob is very rich in potash, and
it has been suggested that our supplies
of the alkali might be greatly increas
ed, if all the cobs produced in the
country were collected, burned, and
the ash lixiviated to procure the pot
ash. The average amount found iu
the a$h of cobs is about 74 pounds of
the carbonate in the hundred, which is
twice as much as is found in the ash
of the willow, the richest of all woods
in this salt. If it were practicable to
.procure and remove the potash front
all the cobs grown in the United
.States, it would indeed constitute a
mountain of the valuable alkali.
The corn crop of the United States,
for 1870, was 1,094,000,000 bushels,
of which amount
Illinois yielded 201,378,000 bushels.
113,150,000 “
94,990,000 “
93,415,000 “
sides and bottom were planked. The
bottom sloped to the rear about six in
ches. Blocks were laid on the slop
ing bottom, and a quantity of rails
and poles were laid across, to make a
false bottom, on which the manure
was thrown as it came front the stable.
Drains from the stables and sheds car
ried all the liquids into this pit, where
it escaped at the rear into the cistern,
together with all the water which fil
tered through the manure pile after
rain had fallen on it. The cistern was
lined with hemlock plank, which after
three years was still perfectly sound,
and was ten feet deep and eight feet
square. A pump of wood was set in
the cistern, and when necessary the
rain-water from the barn roof was
turned into it to dilute it. In this
way a large quantity of liquid manure
was procured, which was found of the
greatest service, both in the garden
and in the field. Spread on a piece of
clover, it enabled four cuttings to be
made during the season, which was
estimated as equal to five tous of hay
to the acre, and which otherwise on
account of the dry season could have
been cut but once, with but a fourth
of this yield.
For hand-use a wheel-tank was made
with joints dovetailed and put togeth
er with strips of brown paper smeared
with tar placed between them. This
made them water-tight. The tank
was three feet square and deep, and
cattereu the liquid over six feet wide,
or over three rows of fodder corn,
which, in this way, while young, could
be easily watered with this cart at the
rate of an acre an hour, and thus its
early growth could be rapidly forced.
Of all the economies of the farm it is
safe to say that there is none in which
greater improvement and saving may
be made than in that ot the manage
ment of manure, and the saving and
utilizing of all the liquids. Here is a
simple and inexpensive plan, which
may, however, be improved upon after
experience of its usefulness and possi
ble defects. The puntp, by being turn
ed, could either discharge the water
from the cistern on the manure-heap
to prevent too much heating, or direct
ly into the small tank, or any other
speading apparatus.—Agriculturist,
