Georgian ot Monday with a report ol

just now is very timely and valuable,
we condense the following from lift
longer report of the Colonel, l'he In-' 4
he selected was uniform in quality and
all verv poor. The preparations tor

“In the preparation l folA>wed the

traces tire to be affixed ; whereas there
is no/art of the harness which is so
important, and which ought to fit so
accurately. How often is a little col
lar only fit for a pony, jammed on the
neck of a much larger animal, so that
every pull he makes gives the feeling
of strangulation, and that will, in all
probability, cause some kind ol fit, it
long continued, besides its liability to
gall and wring the poor animal’s shoul

work cannot be fairly performed; and

six or seven inches, running the rows
three feet nine inches apart, and a
space of five feet lielween each four
rows, with the tows one hundred and
forty vards long, In each of these four
furrows, or rows, I had the different
fertilizers distributed at the rate ot
twelve dollars per acre, (equal monied
value of each brand.) Around their
manured rows l had a Jong scooter
plow run on each side, fdrming a ridge
and covering the manures. Around
this 1 had a turning plow run forming
a bed. In these turn plow furrows I
ran a sub-soil plow deep in lhe subsoil,
breaking the land thoroughly to the
depth of seven inches or more, the re
maining unbroken ridge 1 ran a double
winged turning plow, completing the
preparations tor planting-
“On the sixth of May I opened the
beds and planted the seed with the
Dow Law Colton Planter, a machine I
used before atui since, the war suecess-
fuilv ; a planter that I think stands yet
nl lh<- head of such machines.
“The land being dry, mV cotton did
not perfect its stand before the sixth o! j
June. The cultivation adopted was

Second iv, the horse is often prevented
from throwing his weight into the col
lar by a check-rein—a useful and pain
ful incumbrance, introduced by vanity
and retained by thoughtlessness a-
mounting to cruelly. Ask horse-keep
ers why they use it, and hardly any
two will give the same answer, although
it is generally supposed by them to be
a great safeguard in case of stumbling.
The real object with which it was in
troduced, was to make every horse to
which it was applied, however weak
or old or poor, assume, tlie lotiy car
riage of the thoroughbred horse; and
the tossing of the head, the foam of the
mouth, and the restless agitation of lhe
body (mute, but expressive signs of
j pain and suffering) come, in a little
while, not only to lie disregarded, but
even looked at with approbation. For
tunately this vitiated taste is rapidlj’
going out of fashion as better informa
tion is diffused. Few of the London
cab drivers use check-reins, knowing
them to be inconsistent with proper
work; and when one is observed it
will invariably be found to be on some
poor animal whose wearied and hag-

Ilints cn the Use or Draft Horses.
“If a horse cannot lay u> his work,
and bend his head down when he de
sires to do so. be sure that he is not
improperly harnessed.”
Whenever a horse is employed foi
the purpose of drawing a vehicle, it is
of the utmost importance that lie should
be able to employ nil VJ 3 strength toad-
vantage. Every one who considers at
all, must acknowledge th\t if a horse
has lo do his work in a (tramped

conveniently played a s rr „ anis ,j ie

Men who hive loaded carts and driv
en horses all their lives, ought to know
how a horse should be worked to his
master s adva age and his own com-
nui , but the fact is the generality of
workingmen know liule and careless
on the subject. If this is not so, how
ts it that we frequently see the follow
ing error ? A disproportion between
tiic vehicle and the animal. May not
a person everywhere observe a fault of
t..!o mm. a little horse slaggerin"
under the weight of a high and heavy
tail, which, if the load he in fi-ont of

T. J. Sailor, oj Union District, S. C., by the use of the two-horse plow and the
WaneJo Fcr'iUza has been enabled to gather from a portion of lands ji/rty-three
bushels of wheat: At am ; and from the average lands prepared in like manner, he
has harvested twaity-six and a hall bushels per acre. Mr. Sartor is a large farmer,
and, as shown bythe above statements, is an enterprisiug and successful one. This
is the largest aveiage yield of wheat wo have ever heard of in this State.
Blackvili.g, S. C., October 28th, 1869.
Y«mr favor of li>th inst. is at hand, and, in reply, will give you the information de
sired in regard totho Wando Fertilizer. I put out the 1st February, fifteen bushels
compost manure t) the acre, running a deep furrow, then ridged on it, and about the
1st April ran a hlrck over the ridge and applied 100 lbs. to tbe acre, throwing with
good turn-plow, tvo furrows; and on tbe 15th I threw out the balance of the middle,
and planted my cit'tou. I think with the compost it woald have yielded 600 lbs. seed
cotton to the acre. I got per acre, with the Wando, 1,000 lbs. seed cotton, which I
consider a short cnp. The long drouth and excessively hot weather cut it oft - at
least one-fourth. I applied some on thin laud, without anything else; that I gath
ered last year 250 lbs. to the acre, and this year gathered 500 lbs., which shows an
increase of 100 per cent, with the unfavorable seasons we have had. Used 100 lbs.
per acre on the tjin laud above. K. J. RAY.
13ennettsvh.le, S. C., October 2Gth, 1869.
In reply to yours of 15th inst,, it affords me pleasure to report favorably on tho
Wando Fertilizer, as to its merits a3 a manure for cotton. I tried it on two of my
plantations, side by side with Peruvian Guano, both in equal quantity and equal cost,
under cotton, on urimanured land. Where I used it dollar for dollar I think the yield
will be twenty-five per cent, more than the Peruvian Guano, and where 1 used it
pound for pound I think the yield will be ten per cent, more than the Peruvian
Guano. Z. A. DRAKE.
Herrniion, Buuke Co , Ga., October 25th, 1869.
We bought, las^spring, two tons of W’ando Fertilizer, and used it, side by side
with Peruvian, Nixl.aud raw cotton seed, under tbe cotton crop alone, the eye guid
ing solely in its di^iribution, without reference to quantity, upon old land, with a deep
silicions bed from eiffiteen inches to two feet and cropped, with little regard to rota-
tation more than half a century. Without an active manure, «ill not produce, ua-
favora|ie seasons, moro than 300 lbs. of seed cotton, nor five bushels of
t. Thpresults are entirely satisfactory. Tho “Wando” has yielded
more than Peruvian and three times the quantity of cotton seed, lilerally applied as
a fertilizer. *
The present has bjen tho most blighting and disastrous season known in this sec
tion for thirty year!, and concentrated fertilizers a failure, especially those not com
bining a gentlious qtmtity of nitrogenous matter.
From tho results 9 this crop we are satisfied tho “Wando” will prove a safe and
profitable fertilizer,.rnd next year we shall prove “our faith by our works.”
