Contributions on practical farming
are solicited from our friends throughout
the couutry. Or any interesting facts, ex
periments or recipes; anything that will
interest or instruct in this department.—
We will correct all communications, no

We would be glad to receive communi
cations from any of our farming friends,
who have anything that will prove inter
esting or instructive to our many readers.
The science of agriculture opens a large
field to the intelligent and iuquisitive mind
from which to gather facts, by experiment
and otherwise, and which will be safely
garnered if sent to us. There is scarcely
an observing man that does not bave.good
ideas stored away, that will be of no bens
efit to the community unless published.
PRESERVING LEATHER.
The extreme heat to which most men
and women expose boots and shoes
during winter, deprives leather of its
vitality, rendering it liable to break
and crack. Patent leather, particular
ly, is often destroyed in this manner.
When leather becomes so warm as to
give off die smell of leather it is singed.
Next to the singing caused by lire heal,
is the heat and dampness caused by
the covering of India rubber. India
rubber shoes destroy the life of leather.
The practice of washing harness in
warm water and with soap is very
damaging. It a coat of od put on im
mediately after washing, the damage
is repaired. No harness is ever so
soiled that a damp sponge will not re
move the dirt; but, even when the
sponge is applied, it is useful to add a
slight coat of oil by the use of another
sponge. All varnishes, and all black
ing containing the properties of varnish
should be avoided. Ignorant and in
dolent hostlers are apt to use such sub
stances on their harness as will give
the most immediate effect, and these,
as a general thing, are most destructive |
to the leather. When harness loses its
lustre and turns brown, which almost
any leather will do after long exposure
to the air, the harness should be given
a new coat ot grain black. Before
using this grain black, the grain sur
face should be thoroughly washed with
potash water until all the grease is
killed, and after the application of the
grain black, oil and tallow should be
applied to the surface. This will not
only “fasten” the color, but make the
leather llexibie. Harness which is
grained can be cleaned with kerosene
or spirits of lurpenine, and rio harm
Hints on the Use of Draft Horses,
“If a horse cannot lay to 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 lor
the purpose of drawing a vehicle, it is
of the utmost importance that he should
be aide to employ all his strength to ad
vantage. Every one who considers at
all, must acknowledge that it a horse
has to do his work in a cramped or
confined condition, or when he is in
conveniently placed as regards the
loaif, he cannot exert his full power,
which is so much loss to his master ;
or, it forced to perform a certain
amount, that he is obliged to waste a
great deal more of his strength (or mus
cular power) than is required, to his
own great pain and injury.
The question how to properly attach
the horse to the vehicle is, therefore,,
one of the greatest importance to every
master who wishes to get a proper'de
gree of work in a fair arid rational
manner. Yet, from being unacquaint
ed with the principles, few examine
closely into the practice ; ari immense
deal of horse strength is wasted every
day on loads which, if properly attach
ed, might have been comfortably
moved with far less trouble, exertion
and pain.
The act of pulling is pertormed by
leaning forward, with the weight of the
body against the resistance of the op
posing force and then, by strong move
ments of the limbs, keeping up and in
creasing the pressure; the weight of
the body being of the utmost impor
tance, as any one may try by pulling
at a rope passing over one shoulder,
and standing upright all the time. It
will be found that what was before
pulled with ease cannot now be moved
at ail, or, at any rale, only by the most
severe and continued efforts ot the
limbs. These muscular movements,
exhausting the strength, try the system
violently, whereas the body-weight is
easily employed without consuming the
vital energies.
From the upright position of a man’s
body, he is not fitted to draw loads. It,
therefore, this great difference is per
ceivable with his light frame, how
great must lie the. waste of strength
when the horse is prevented from
throwing his whole weight fairly into
the collar. Yet this is constantly the
case through various causes.
First, and, unfortunately, in too many
cases, the coll r is quite unfit for the
animal. A horse collar is, we are sor
ry to sa“, frequently looked upon mere
ly as a ring for the neck, to which the
traces are to be affixed ; whereas there
is no part of the harness which is so
, -u if ti, 0 a- . .i important, and which ought to fit so
will result it the parts affected are 1 , r1 • r , i
u, i „„,i i r . i r accurately. How otlen is a little co
lled and oiled immediately after- . . p c . ,
was
ward. Shoe leather is generally abus
ed. Persons know nothing or care less
about the kind ol material used than
they do about the polish produced.—
\ itriol blacking is used until every par
ticle of the oil in the leather is destroy
ed. To remedy this abuse the leather
should be washed once a month with
warm water, and when about half
dry, a coat ot oil and tallow should
lie applied, and the boots set aside for
a day or two. This will renew the
elasticity and life in the leather, and
when thus used upper leather will sel
dom crack or break. When oil is ap
plied to belting dry it does not spread
uniformly, and does not incorporate it-
sell with the fibre as when partly damp
ed with water The best way to oil a
belt is to take it from the pulleys and
immerse it in a warm solution of tal
low and oil. After allowing it to re
main a few moments the belt should
be immersed in water heated to one
hundred degrees, and instantly remov
ed. This will drive tire oil and tallow
all m, and at the same time properly
temper the leather.
How to Dye Colton Yarn of a. Dc
Blue Color.—Take one pound of log.
wood, chipped line ; boil it in sufficient
quantity of water until the whole color
ing matter is extracted; then take
about one hall gallon of this liquor and
dissolve in it one ounce of verdigris and
the same quantity of alum; boil your
yarn meantime in the logwood water
'for one hour, stirring it well and keep
ing it loose; takeout your yarn, and
mix the half gallon containing the ver
digris and alum with the other then
put your yarn into the mixture and
boil it four hours stirring it all the time
and keeping it loose ; take it out once
every hour to give it air, after which
dry, it ; then boil it in soap and water
and it is done. This.recipe will dye
six noiuids of cot Inn vam „l
ir only fit for a pony, jammed on the
neck ot a much larger animal, so that
every pul! he makes gives the feeling
of strangulation, and that will, in all
probability, cause some kind of lit, if
long continued, besides its liability to
gall and wring the poor animal’s shoul
der. When tliis has taken place, the
work cannot be fairly performed ; and
to do it all, the anguish of the poor
horse must be indescribable.
Secondly,the horse isoften 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-
mountiiig 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, the lolly car
riage of the thoroughbred horse; and
the tossing of the head, the foam of the
! mouth, and the restless agitation of the
body (mute, but expressive signs of
[ pain and suffering) eorne, in a little
cp\
while, not only to lie disregarded, but
even looked at with approbation. For
tunately this vitiated taste is rapidlv
going out of fashion as belter informa
tion is diffused. Few of the London
cab drivers use check-reins, knowino
them to be inconsistent with proper
work ; and when one is observed it
will invariably be found to be on some
poor animal whose \vearied and hag
gard appearance is attempted to be
disguised by tliis iinplemement of tor-
tun*.
Thirdly, a great cause of unnecessa
ry pain and labor to many horses, is a
neglect in keeping the wheels properly
greased, “Some persons may not be
aware,” says Hiover, in bis work on
Bipeds and Quadrupeds, “that the

It is a Fertilizer made in Charleston from the wonderful phosphate discove
ries near that city, which have been pronounced by scientific men the most
valuable as well as the most remarkable deposit of the kind known in the
world.
We ask a careful perusal of the following certificates, selected from a large
number of an equally favorable character. Send lor a pamphlet.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF THE WANDO FERTILIZER.
Cotton.—From 250 to 300 pounds per acre—on tLe list—bedded or in drill with
seed. .
Corn.—From 300 to 400 pounds per acre, 200 to 300 pounds in the hill at the time
of planting, and the balance when the crop is 2h to 3 feet high.
Wheat.—Prepare the ground by deep plowing and barrowing. Apply, broadcast
with tbe seed, about 300 pounds to the acre, and in the spring from 100 to 200 pounds
as atop dressing. This will ensure a large yield.
Potatoes.—Apply the quantity designed for au acre in tbe drill; 250 pounds has
usually givou an increase of four to one.
Vegetables.—Compost always with stable manure or leaf mould 300 to 400 pouudp
per acre, in the drill and under the seed.
CEKTIFICATES.
T. J. Sartor, of Union District, S. C„ by the use of the two-horse plow and the
YVamlo Fertilizer, has been enabled to gather from a portion of lands forty^thret
bushels of wheat per acre ; and from tbe average lauds prepared in like mauner, he
has harvested twenty-six aud a half bushels per acre. Mr. Sartor is a large farmer,
aud, as sbowu by the above statements, is an enterprising and successful one. This
is the largest average yield of wheat we have ever heard of in this State.
Blackville, S. C., October 28th, 1869.
Your favor of loth inst. is at hand, and, in reply, will give you the information de
sired in regard to the Wando Fertilizer. I put out the 1st February, fifteeu busLels
compost manure to tbe acre, running a deep furrow, then ridged on it, and about the
1st April ran a block over the ridge and applied 100 lbs. to the acre, throwing with
good turn-plow, two furrows; and on the 15th I threw out the balance of the middle,
and planted my cotton. I think with the compost it would 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 crop. The long drouth and excessively hot weather cut it off at
least one-fourth. I applied some on thin land, 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 percent, with the unfavorable seasons we have bad. Used 100 lbs.
•per acre ou the thin land above. B. J. RAY.
Bennettsville, S. C., October 26th, 1SC9.
In reply to yours of 15th iust„ it affords me pleasure to report favorably on the
Wando Fertilizer, as to its merits as a manure for cotton. I tried it on two of my
plantations, side by side with Peruvian Guano, both in equal quantity aud equal cost,
under cotton, on unmauured land. Where I used it dollar for dollar I think the yield
will be tweutv-five per cent, more than the Peruvian Guano, and where I used it
pound for pound I think the yield will be ten per cent, more than tbe Peruvian
Guano. Z. A. DRAKE.
Herrndon, Burke Co , Ga., October 25th, I860.
We bought, last spring, two tons of Wando Fertilizer, and used it, side by side
with Peruviau, No. 1, and raw cotton seed, under tbe cotton crop alone, the eye guid
ing solely in its distribution, without reference to quantity, upon old land, with a deep
silicious bed from eighteeu inches to two feet and cropped, with little regard to rota-
tation more than half a century. Without an active manure, will uot produce, un
der the most favorable seasons, more than 300 lbs. of seed cotton, nor five bushels of
corn per acre. The results are entirely satisfactory. The “Wando” has yielded
more than Peruvian, aud three times the quantity of cotton seed, liberally applied as
a fertilizer.
The present has been the most blighting and disastrous season known in this sec
tion for thirty years, and concentrated fertilizers a failure, especially those not com
bining a geueious quantity of nitrogenous matter.
From the results of this crop we are satisfied the “Wando” will prove a safe and
profitable fertilizer, and next year we shall prove “our faith by our works.”
• J. H. Sc H. P. JONES, Jr.
Fort Valley, Ga., October 2d, 1S69.
I used the. Wando Fertilizer this year, aud am satisfied it increased my crop at
least 100 per cent. I applied 200 pounds to the acre.
JOHN L. MURRAY.
Fort Valley, Ga. October 14th, 1869.
In answ r er"to your inquiries with regard to the results of the Wando Fertilizer used
by me, I reply that I am satisfied with it, and regard it one of the best fertilizers now
extant. E. W. JONES, M. D.
Fort Valley, Ga.. October 12tb, 1869.
The Wando Fertilizer bought of you has been tested by me on cotton, and though
seriously injured by the long-continued drouths, I am pleased to say has been entire
ly satisfactory. I regard it as a first-rate fertilizer. JNO. F. TROD r lMAN.
Marshallville, Ga., September 28th, 1869.
I used your Wando Fertilizer on corn. It acted finely until the drouth set in, and
even then remained green throughout, and made a good crop, at least 50 per cent,
more than the same land would have made without any fertilizer. S. WARE.
Milledgeville, Ga., October 29, 1S69.
Messrs. Hall and Buudage are both pleased with the Wando, and particularly Mr.
Hall, who says he wants it auother year. T. T. WINDSOR.
Yorkville, S. O.. October 25tb, 1S69,
I used Wando on cotton tbe present year. I feel satisfied that I made 75 per
cent, more cotton than I should have made without it. My crop suffered very much
for rain. Y. B. DANIN.
• Frog Level, October 22d, 1S69.
I used your Waudo Fertilizer on cotton this spring, by the side of Peruvian Guano.
The Wando caused the plaut to grow off ahead of the Guano, gave it a better colo.
aud matured it earlier. I am now using your Fertilizer uiider wheat and oats in
preference to Peruvian Guano, and so soou as they are gathered will give you the
result. MATHI AS WICKER.

EUREKA
Will commence arriving in December, and we would like to have in all or’
ders at an early a day as possible. We consider it unnecessary to iuimsh any
certificate of its excellence, as it has been tried with undeviating success in
this State for four years. The manufacturers assure that it shall not be adul
terated, nor depreciated in any way. We speak with great confidence in favor
of the “Eureka,” as it has stood the severest lest of any fertilizer now before
the public.
Time sales made on usual terms for satisfactory acceptance payabie in an)
city in the State.
