3t*)ricuUural department, FiOm {lie Southern Times and Planter. Remarks of Mr. J. S. Newman, of Hancock, on Home Fertilizers before the Rome Convention. Written out for the “Plantation” in response to a resolution of the Convention asking its publication. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention.” In response to the invitation of your committee to introduce the dis cussion ol Home Fertilizers,” I pro pose, without attempting a speech, to introduce the subject with a few plain, practical remarks. With the exception, perhaps, of the Labor question ; there is none of such vital importance to the Ag riculturists of Georgia as that of cheap Home Fertilizers. I do not propose to limit the subject to mere manures saved or prepared on the farm, but will treat of it in its w id- est scope, embracing all of the econ omic means, at the command of die landlord, of permanently improving his soil and increasing his annual income. This involves a judicious rotation of crops to secure and pre serve an abundant supply of humus in the soil—deep and thorough prep aration—careful husbanding and manipmalion of all animal excre ments and a judicious concentration of the latter. But, Sir, 1 am met on the very threshhold with a serious, though I hope not an insuperable difficulty. We must combat, not only prejudice, but habit and prac tice. Our people are not sufficiently self-reliant or sell sustaining. We have too long depended upon for eign skill and industry lor com modities, the material of which lie in waste at our very doors. With our mountains teeming with the richest iron ore; vve import the plows with which we till our lands —the hoes with which we cultivate our crops—the axes with which we fell our forests—in a word, every tool and implement used on our farms. With the toughest oak and hicko ry growing in our forests, we even imDort hames and axe-helves. I might extend the enumeration until it enbraced every article of prime consumption ; for we even import our own cotton, in fabric, al ter the price has been quadrupled by shipment, manufacturing and re- shipment. Indeed, Sirs, the habit of import ing is so fixed, that vve are prone to regard as imferior, that which is of home manufacture. This militates against the devel opment of our resources ; and while I would not counsel the extreme of rejecting all importations, let us first husband and utilize our home resources and supplement these by importations from abroad. Under the influence of this habit to which ] have alluded, our planters have neglected the means, which nature affords them, of fertilizing their lands, and relied loo exclusively up on commercial manures; many of which are excellent, but too costly for profitable use upon lands so de nuded of vegetable matter as those in the cotton region generally are. Let us examine for a moment these natural means of fertilization as adapted to our old and worn lands. Our lands have been cultivated so constantly in humus—destroying crops, that the first step to be taken is the turning under of Green Crops. as a means not only of supplying humus to the soil, but of ameliora ting its physical condition to prevent baking, and admit a free circulation of atmospheric air with its fertiliz ing properties. Nature points to peas and clover, ki-arfred plants, which send their lap roots deep into the subsoil and drying up the mineral saits from be yond the reach of the plow, which absorb ammonia from the atmos phere in an eminent degree, as pe culiarly suited for the purpose of green manure. By returning these to the soil while green, we return not only all that was extracted from the soil, but an important element of fertility from the atmosphere. There is no soil which is not adap ted to one or the other of tfiese plants. Mr. Edmond Ruffin, the great ag riculturist of Virginia, quadrupled the product of his lands by the use of marl and clover as fertilizers.— Lands in Virginia which twenty years ago were worn and gullied, and turned out as exhausted, are now producing forty bushels ol corn per acre. What has been done in Virginia may be done here. We have fol lowed their excmple in one respect. They exhausted their lands by con tinued cultivation in tobacco; we have exhausted ours by shallow preparation and continued cultiva tion in cotton and com. Glover and plaster, with the aid J in liquid and solid exciemeuts ; none of nock, have restored their lands of them are al senu In these are in their original fertility. Let ns fob I present not only ammonia, hut also low their example arid build up our , alkalies, phosphates ami Sulphates, waste places. ! in the relative proportion in which But, gentlemen, as our President ! thev exist in our cultivated plants, has well said, tr succeed we must I Nature, then, has given us a per fect that we are permanently loca-j feet manure, but in a form too much led and must ha\e faith in our work, i diluted—too bulky lor economical If we will use the means at our j transportation or application. What command we can restore our ex- j is the remedy lor this? It is very hausted lands to their virgin fertility, i simple. Nature has given us the By the use of green manures, I lormula—commerce supplies us with grass, stock, deep plowing and j the ingredients—analysis indicates cheap Home Fertilizers, the “red old the proportions HEW FATili cto WIMTP2I L aooDS. hills ol Georgia” may be made to “bloom as the rose” and rejoice the hearts of the husbandmen with abundant harvests. But here we are met by another difficulty. You say we have not time for all of this. Cotton demands all of our lime.— This brings us to another important point upon which we have had “line upon line,” and precept upon pre cept,” to no purpose. We plant too much cotton on too much land poor ly prepared and poorly manured. If we will concentrate our efforts upon a smaller area thoroughly pre pared, well manured and thorough ly cultivated wc will have lime to improve our landed capital, and yet realize a better per cent on the in vestment than by scratching over the whole surface. I have been surprised to see over I the signature of an eminent agricul tural writer, the deterioration of the land charged in the cost of produc ing cotton, can we boast of progress when a portion of our profits must come out ol our capital; The same writer advocates the old practice of surface scratching with turning shovels and scooters against deep and thorough prepara tion. Hall preparation and half cul tivation, of the largest possible area, has been the bane of the South, Times have changed and we must change with them. The time for wearing out land and moving West is past. As our Pres ident has remarked, we must first feel that wp are permanently settled, and then determine to succeed, to progress, to improve and beautily, instead of desolating the land in which we live. Where clay is in reach of the plow, restoration is ea sy. Bring to the surface, each year, an inch of new clay early enough for the fro3ls of Winter to pulverize and incorporate it with the surface soil. You will thus improve both the chemical and mechanical condi tion of the soil. This is especially the case where the surface is sandy. Besides the increased capacity lor absorbing ammonia from the atmos phere, the dark color imparted by the clay causes a greater absorption of heat which is of great service in “starting off” vegetation in spring. Stock occupy a conspicuous place among the agencies of Home Fertil ization. The determination ol the best mods of utilizing their excre ments, solid and iiquid, is a matter of very great importance, and one which has received too little atten tion at the hands of ihe Southern Agriculturist. As usually saved on Georgia farms, the best parts are lost. The common practice is, to collect in an open lot the year’s sup ply, exposed to the injurious effects of both rain and sun. Thus expos ed, the soluble parts are leached through into the soil below, or car ried off into gullies or creeks : while the ammonia, which is always in the form of a carbonate is volatilized and lost. Unless stock can be kept in sheltered stalls, they should be penned at night on cultivable land where '<he liquid parts can be imme diately absorbed by the soil, and the solid part preserved by plowing them in as they collect in sufficient Then, using well preserved sta ble manure as our base, we will add to it ammonia, phosphates, alkalies and sulphates in the proportions which nature indicates until the compound is rendered sufficiently concentrated to be economically ap plied, and we have the great desid eratum of agiicultuie—a good and cheap manure. I have this compound applied to cotton in equal weights per acre with two standard commercial manures. The former cost one cent per pound, the latter three and four respectively. Up to dale, the most experienced eye can detect no difference in ei ther the growth of weed or the quan tity of fiuit. This is what we call the “Bryan manure Note—Being absent on Committee duty when called upon in the Conven tion for the formula by which the above compound was prepared, and being un willing at a later stage of the proceed ings of the Convention to occupy its time, it was not given to the Convention. 1 therefore append it.

Czerny, of Austria, states that as the result of long continued observations and experiments, that the strongest and best iruil trees can be raised from seed, thus obviating a great deal of expense and disap pointment to the pomologist. Ac cording to his observations, the ex tent and ramification of the roots ol a healthy tree is to that of its crown in the ratio of three to two, so that the action ot the roots is always pre- pondertaing. In this relation he finds the reason why fruit seeds from trees, budded or grafted upon indif ferent stocks, have always been found unreliable, and he endeavors, as the first step, to obtain good trees grown upon their own slock, the seeds of which, he says, will repro duce their parents with cerlaintv. To this end he lays a branch of a good tree, which, when well rooted, serves him as stock; into which he introduces buds or scions of such varieties as promise to improve the original fruit. By judicious cross fertilization he obtains fruit, the seed of which will propagate, to a greater or less extent, the good qualities of the varieties ss used in hybridizing, and thus a new fruit is originated, which, when suitable, can always be reproduced from its seed.

The loss in the manure thus pre served is insignificant. The air be ing excluded by its compactness, no fermentation takes place—no heal is generated until the bulk is broken and exposed for a time to the air. This should not be done until its final manipulation preparatory to its ap plication to the soil. We are all fa miliar with the injury the manurial properties of cotton seed when the seed are heated in bulk without plas ter or an absorbent. No one would think of exposing commercial ma nure without shelter during a win ter ; then why treat home manures thus! Stable manure is adapted to all crops and all soils. Is it strange that it should be, when we remem ber that it is derived from the very soil to which we apply it, and thro’ the medium of the very plants to which we return it as food ? The excrement, solid and liquid, of fully grown animals kept in uniform con dition, contain all the elements of the plants from which they derive their food.

IMPORTERS AND WHOLESALE DEALERS IN If! a man wishes to make a living by farming, Dr. Voelcker thinks that at least from three to five times as much of all the more important fer tilizers must lie put annually upon the land as ate removed from it in the crops, a depreciation in (he crop resulting when a materially less a- rnount is applied. UNDunnraining.—Otie important advantage of the underdraiu is, that it is at work when the top of the ground is frozen, of course, a sur face or open drain is inactive ; thus making the subsoil so dry and po rous that when the frost comes out the water drops through at once and leaves the ground dry.—Ploughman.
