SOCIETY OF BAKES COUNTY, 6A.

[concluded.]
The true theory and practice of successful
farming demand a return to the soil of all the
chemical elements produced and abstracted by
the crop harvested; either by feeding the crude
materials on the farm to stock, and diligently
nud carefully saving their excreta, or we must
artificially reproduce what has been carried
away and sold. This imposes the necessity for
making manures. We must be taught by ob
servation and experience whether it is more
onoinical to make composts and diligently save
r ,dl the excrements of animals so rich in ammo
nia and many alkaline salts, or shall wo depend
npon the purchase of commercial manures.—
Diverse opinions are entertained npon this sub
ject by the most experienced farmers. Some
advocate the opinion that domestic manures by
the usual process of saving them are so bulky
and tedious of transportation or application,
that for the same amount of time and labor be
stowed in these processes we are enabled to pur
chase highly concentrated manures which are
comparatively easy of application.
Others assure us that the expense of employ
ing the latter is so great that the benefits accru
ing thereform are comparatively trifling. The
application of domestio manures, even prepared
iu the old-fashioned way, very rarely disappoints
us. For the permanent improvement of land
they are to be preferred to commercial manures.
The latter are not by any means uniformly sat
isfactory in their results. We are compelled to
trust to the honesty of dealers, and in these
times of moral obtuseness, men’s consciences
are often too pliant and flexible, and are very
apt to lend a listening ear to tho whisperings of
selfishness and cupidity; and they not unfre-
qnenlly furnish an article that would not repay
us for tho trouble of applying it. Hence, the
conflicting statements that are made with refer
ence to tho utility of foreign mannresC ’’ Interest
and prudence dictate that wo make as much of
the former as possible, and supply the deficiency
with the latter. Find out what your land re
quires; whether it is deficient in mineral or veg
etable matter, or both; purchase the different
ingredients and manipulate them yourselves.
Plants require a great diversity of elements to
meet their demands. The production of gum,
sugar and starch, demands somewhat different
food from that which enters into the constituents
of the seeds of beans, peas and wheat. We
must, therefore, make our manures to meet the
wants of the crop to be planted. The phosphates
of lima and magnesia, decomposed animal and
vegetable matters and common salt will fulfill
all the indications required.
tiiuuto varies in the quantity of ammonia it
contains from five to twenty-fivo per cent. If
an article can be procured which will be war
ranted to contain from ten to fifteen per oanb
of ammonia, with the addition of the phos
phates and salt, there can hardly bo any risk in
compounding a manure that will pay hand
somely. Those of us who have not had much

, Bcntlepaen, have I endeavored, in a
„ 7 and imperfect manner, to throw ont
* *® w toe view of elucidating
the^principles involved in the art of ag-
ncultnre The subject is so exhaustless and
fuU of interest, that those topics of which I have
£to Present but a very faint outline,
should be elaborated in separate essays. This
you will be enabled to do, at your subsequent
meetings, by the different members of your so-
ciety. The economy of feeding men and ani
mals is of hardly less importance than a knowl
edge of the modu* operandi of producing food
for them. It would be exceedingly interesting
to discuss the chemical and physiological prin-
ples which explain the nature and value of dif
ferent kinds of food in the production and
maintenance of the different tissues of the body
and the economy resulting from preparing and
administering food in accordance with these
principles; but I fear that I have already tres
passed too long npon your patience.
In conclusion, allow me to congratulate you
upon the organization of a society which, if con
ducted with zeal and a spirit of inquiry, will re
sult ia benefits to yourselves, individually, and
to the community of which you are members.
In the midst of the intellectual desert which
stretches out on every side, your society, will be
an Oasis spreading ont its green pastures and
offering its limpid streams to the hungry and
thirsty inquirers after progress and knowledge.
Hi comparing the results of different modes of
cultivating crops, testing the value of improved
agricultural implements, the relative superiority
of different kinds of agricultural products, the
best breeds of live stock end the most economi
cal method of feeding them; the most judicious
plan of controlling our system of labor; in
deed, going through the whole curriculum of ex
periments with a view to progress and perfec
tion, you will stimulate a spirit of inquiry and
research, habits of close attention, minuteness
of detail in making experiments, and accuracy
in summing up results. Your deductions will
thereby be made with more confidence and sat
isfaction to yourselves, and they will be of more
importance to the world. ...
In yonr deliberations none may plead the want
of ability to contribute the results of their ex
perience. You deal in facts, you search after,
facts; we wish the benefit of yonr observation
and experiments. The simple truth that our
ideas are clothed in language, adorned with clas
sical purity and rhetorical beauty, invests them
with actual importance only so far as they com
municate or substantiate facts.
let me urge upon yon the necessity for acqui
ring a knowledge of. correct principle*, by glean
ing the abundant harvests of truth to be reaped
by the study of nature as well as art, from the
many agricultural works and {current periodical
literature of the day. Ia this connection, allow
me to presept to you.the claims of the Southern
Cultivator—tho pioneer, as well as the advocate
and expounder, of Southern agricultural princi
ples for nearly thirty years. It maintained its
existence thronghont the war; and, though it
struggled hard with the poverty of the times,
yet its plainly-clsd pages were always filled with
words of cheer to the despondent Confederate
and with lessons of wisdom and encouragement
to all. Now, in a new dress, it always furnishes
a bill of fare appetizing to the most fastidious.
A long and intimato acquaintance with ita edit
ors will enable me confidently to assure you that
it will ever maintain that degree of exceUence
which wo alone can expect from such resources
as are to be derived from long and intelligent
experience of practical details in the cultivation
of the staple productions of onr country and a
correct nnderstanding of scientific truth. Every
. ilanter who cultivates ten acres of land should

experimental acquaintance with the application be a subscriber to it, for there are none who will
of these manures can safely rely upon tho weU
established reports of others who have not any
pecuniary interest in their manufacture as ar
ticles of trade. Mr. David Dickson, of Han
cock, whose experience in the use of commer
cial manures is probably greater than that of
any one, at least in our State, thus writes; “It
is true, I made fine crops before I used guano,
bones, salt and plaster; but nothing to com
pare with.crops made with them. I will tell
Mr. Gift some of the good guano, etc., docs—
it is self-sustaining; it is punctual in payment;
never repudiates or asks an extension of time;
wants no stay laws or military orders; pays
promptly, and, on an average, as much aa one
hundred and twenty-five per cent.; sometimes
a small per cent, and at other times as high as
four hundred; it enables one to make double
the quantity of home made manures; improves
the land; gives Ihe one means of keeping more
ami better stock; improves crops; makes the
laborers more cheerful and willing to work;
puts money in hand to do fancy farming; pur
chases good machinery aqd tools: will afford
some luxuries as well arf substantinis,' and en-
nblis you to work freedmen,' when they wonld
bring you in debt without it”
Now this is an admirable summing np of evi
dence in favor of his cause; but although Mr.
Dickson may realize these results, it ia doubtful
whether there are many who can employ mate
rials with the application of as much skill and
judgment as he undoubtedly possesses. If,
however, the half of what he assures can be
realized, we should require no stronger induce
ments to encourage us to go and do likewise.
The course usually pursued in the manufacture
of domestic manures is most wasteful and ex
travagant Lot manure derived from animals
•almudiAly fed upon com, fodder, oats and
peas, is Ughly stimulating; abounding in those
alkalies and salts which enter into the ^structure
of the plants which, produced those grains. Am
monia, one of thq most volatile of salts, is con
tinually passing off into the atmosphere, known
by its peculiar pungent odor. There are many
other soluble salts which are subject to the con
tinual washings of heavy rains and to the dissi
pating effects of intense solar heat. The econ
omizing of these valuable fertilizers would be
greatly augmented by having our mules and
horses confined under cover, and their stalls
made impervious to liquids by having tho floors
covered with day well beaten and made hard
and compact, and by tho aplication of thin lay
ers of land plaster and bone dust to the beds of
straw hauled in from time to time. The volatile
ammonia in the form of a carbonate would then
enter into chemical union with the land plaster
and bone dost and be permanently retained.
Moreover, the presence of these substances
would greatly accelerate the disintegration and
fermentation of rongh manures. We would,
therefore, not only increase the quality, but the
•quantity of manure. Composts made in the
■open air should be treated in like manner, and
always covered with a layer of earth or charcoal,
to prevent the escape of ammonia. By em
ploying one hand and a yoke of oxen, di
the year, at this business, we would be an
at the quantity of manure produced, laden with
organic and inorganic materials exactly suited
to the wants-of onr land, and equal in quality
to -the best commerciaTfertilizers.
The comparatively recent discovery of a phos-
phatic deposite in the form of fossil remains of
in, so said, inexhaustible quantities,
near Charleston, we hope will, ere long, supply
us with a valuable fertilizer. The .ordinary su-
Derohosiihate of commerce nsuallycontains about
55 per cent, of phosphoric acid, whereas, that
which we have just noticed fa said to contain
from 66 to 88 per cent. Extensive preparations
ire now betas made for the application of this
manure to to? soil. The facilities for its trans
portation almost to our doors will tPBtUaJ*. we
ET to obtain it at a cost that will sustain ns
in its liberal application. It will not 1

but for incorporation with animal or 8_ ^
mamity's rich in ammonia or carbonac.o - -
ter. no. only enabling ns to employ a smaller
quantity of the latter, but adding greatly
duration of their fertilizing properties.
The profitable cultivation of our lands witn
free labor without the assistance of manure is
very doubtful. We will soon be absolutely
compelled to curtail the quantity and lin P r
the quality, thereby increasing correspondingly
the productions of the soil. Experiments attest
the increased production of corn and cotton to
from 100 to 400 per cent, by the judicious and
liberal applicat ion of manures, as well as a
material improvement in their quality, 6
can thus dispense with one half of the labor usu
ally employed, and annually and materially
not be the wiser from ita perusal.
It is believed that nine-tenths of the fixed
capital of all civilized nations is employed, and
probably over two hundred million of men spend
their daily labor in the canso of Agriculture. It is
the basis of the success of all great enterprises.
plied science holds out her beacon-lights
rect your pathway, and personal interest and the
demands of yonr impoverished country loudly
invoke the exercise of yonr best energies. It is
true that the demoralized state of our labor sys
tem environs the execution of yonr plans with
difficnlties which are often annoying and embar
rassing. But is it not wonderful that, in the
midst of the chaotic condition of society, onr
laborers are so efficient? Their sndden transi
tion from a state of absolute servitude to the ex
ercise of almost unrestrained license, wonldhave
severely tried the principles of any people poss
essing infinitely moro elevated mom and intel
lectual culture. The rule of passion must soon
give way to that of reason, when we will be able
i o organize our system of labor, and make it an
efficient element of production. The principles
of miscegenation will be illustrated only by such
luminaries as Thad Stevens, Anna Dickinson,
$nd their immediate satellites. The impress of
omniscience in inerasable physical lines has de
fined tho relations of the two races to each other.
Socially they are as immiscible as oil and water.
Let us, therefore, in our deportment toward
tho freedmen,’ by acts of kindness nnd -uniform
justice seek to secure their confidence and
friendship, and elevate them in the scale of
morality and intelligence. The immense physi
cal resources of our noble old State will demand
for their development a largo importation of
foreign laborers. Our exhaustless beds of lime,
coal, alumina, granite, marble, iron and gold
cannot fail to attract an influx of capital and
laboT. The vintners of France and Italy will
adorn the “clay galls” of Middle Georgia with
their smiling cottages and the luscious fruits of
the vine. The music of ten thousand busy
files will awake to life and activity the
altering energies of the desponding croaker
who wastes his life in useless regrets for the
past and apprehensions for the future. Many
sit - -*. i —before the teeming
in upon ns over the
industry and skill in
the mechanic arts, and their already trained
habits in the production of cotton and nee, as
well as their climatic adaptation to the cotton belt
of the country, will add immensely to onr agri
cultural and mineral wealth. The spmt of the
ace will demand liberal governmental patronage
to the cause of agricultural education, and the
development of Southern genius in the mechanic
arts The field for effort is boundless, and the
rewards for labor are rich and tempting. I can
not too urgently impress npon yon die necessity
for pursuing yonr avocations as planters, not
merely as a temporary necessity, but with a view
to permanency.
The mercantile and professional departments
of business are now overcrowded, and multitudes
of anxious aspirants after wealth and distinction
are eking ont an attenuated existence upon
“hope deferred.” It has beenpretty well de
termined that foreign nations have failed in se
curing such a monopoly of the cotton supply, by
producing » staple that will compete with cure,
as will depress the price to astage that will make
it unremiLrativetous, ^ith a good constitu
tion steady and industrious habits, energy and
ordinary foresight, any yonng man may^carve
out of the soil a foundation upon which to rear
a superstructure of wealth and influence. 1;1-
said that the staple productions of Massachusetts
are granite nnd ice'; and yet with her immense
wealth and Yankee shrewdness, though most a-
mentably misapplied, she furnishes the prepon
derance of motive power that controls the ma
chinery of this Government. With our genial
climate, mineral treasures, unlimited waterpow
er and fertile soil, and the use of proper energy
and skill in their development, we will yet re
gain onr lost political and commercial suprema
cy. Do yonr part, then, in the great work of
recuperation by engaging with diligence and
zest in vour noble calling, liet ** excelsior” be
inscribed upon yonr banner, and ever remember
that labor, physical as well as mental, is man’s
natural heritage, and the only road to preferment
and honor. You have as colaborers in the great

'T ibroa * Compoai-
and Pannebi lor Roof,
and Walls or Buildings, etc.
A patent was obtained a few da vs ago by the
American Fibre Company, for an entirely novel
mode of constructing roofs and walls of build
ings, water-proof floors, tanks, etc.
lie fibre used is made from the cane or reeds
of the canebrakes of the Carolinas and other
States, disintegrated by the explosive force of
steam, by the process which is in operation in
this city. The Bichmond Dispatch gives an ac
count of the new invention, by which thin fibre
is now being used for roofing. As we are sadly
in need of fire-proof roofs in "Wilmington, and
which are now constructed at great cost, we
give it not only as opening a new branch of
business, but which must result zn great benefit
to our city. The fibre as it comes from the
steam gnn is in the shape of long, fine tendrils,
resembling oakum. Tins fibre is twisted or
spun into a single yarn or strand, several of
which strands are interlaced so as to form a stout
matting, which is charged with a composition of
tar and pulverized slate or soapstone, limestone;
etc., forced into and amongst the fibres by
great pressure, so as to make a solid slab. The
fibre being thoroughly disintegrated and very
absorbent, forms a good base for the mast.
;A series of these slabs made with rabbit*
joints are cemented and then another series
of the slabs, made in the same manner, and laid
over the others bo as to break joints in every
direction, the upper series being fastened to the
lower with a mastic composed of the pulverized
slate,etc., and tar, and the joints being cemented
together. A light, strong, solid, indestructible
slab is thus produced, thoroughly water-proof,
■■^■ioally fire-proof also. A similar com
position, used for roofs in Montreal and New
Orleans, is unaffected by the heat or cold.
As the steam-blown reed fibre can be supplied
from Norfolk, Va., and Wilmington, N. O., to
New York, Bichmond, Baltimore, Boston, etc.,
for fifteen to twenty dollars per ton, and the
pulverized slate can be obtained at about the
same price, and the tar is cheap also, it ia
claimed that this invention secures the cheapest
as wellas the best and most durable roof ever
made.
The roof resembles a solid block of slate or
stone about an inch thick. A coating of sand is
forced into the composition so as to lighten the
color and make itresemble stone. The cost is
less than that of a tin roof.
The inventors propose to make the same slabs
available for the onter walla of buildings in lien
of bricks, stone or wood. The same company
have also obtained a patent for a substitute for
lath and plaster. For this purpose fibrous com
position panels are made by the above method
from the steam blown cane fibre, in combination
with silicate of soda (liquid flint), lime and clay.
These panels are fire proof, and well adapted
for ceilings, inner walls and floors, also cabins
of steamboats and railway cars. It is claimed
that the fibrous composition panels ore much
cheaper than laths and plaster, and that they do
not warp, crack, peel crumble or decay and that
they keep out heat and cold.
Certainly these inventions open a wide field
of usefulness. They seem to be the most prac
tical ideas, and in fact have been tested to a
sufficient extent to establish their utility. As
already stated in this paper, it is designed to
erect in the city a manufactory of boards out
of the cane fibre.— Wilmington Journal.
\~ Corafield Peas.
We are in a happy mood, dear reader. In the
fullness of our heart, we are content to lay aside
the divining rod of politics and betake us to a
tamer, but more inviting subject. We confess
to an inordinate fondness for those delicious
j lobules, known os Cornfield Peas—yea, Corn-
: eld Peas! Best easy, Shade of Epicurus, while
we twit you with the name!
Bacon and greens will answer for those un
lucky mortals who have not a cultivated taste;
hog and hominy is prime in its place, and “ dev
illed ” ham is delightful; but how coarse—how
tasteless—how insipid, O unprejudiced gorman
dizers—are these articles of diet,, when com
pared to a dish of savory peas!
We envy the fortunate individual who sits
down to his first plate of pear. How exqusite
must be his enjoyment! Header, if you are of
this class, make haste to open unto yourself a
new world of Epicurean delights. First, eat
them boiled—cooked to a nicety; add a modi
cum of salt and red pepper, and corn-bread, as
an accompaniment; then, with a spoon, fall to,
not with coyness, but with right hearty good
will, and we promise yon, beforehand, a meal
such as potentates might envy.
Gentle husbandman, raise peas; allow no gre
garious beast to tear the trailing tendrils or de
stroy the fruitful pod. Pod, did we say ? Nay!
the worthier name were OUapodrida ; for are
not these the combination of all the excellencies
and virtues of vegetables! are they not at once
bread and meat and dessert—at onoe substantial
and delicious? *
We imagine it was not altogether modesty
which impelled that historical young woman,
whose fame was heralded over our grandmothers’
tea-cups, to carvo each of her peas in two. How
estatic must have been her enjoyment at dinner
—an enjoyment fully realizing Milton’s idea of
‘sweetness long drawn out,” and utterly beyond
the appreciation of this materialistic age.
Perhaps the legend which Ulysses has written
upon his shield may mean something, after all.
We call npon our agriculturists to respond to it.
If there remains a spark of patriotism in this re
bellious South—a remnant of “testhetic culture”
among those Confederates who vexed their stom
achs with mule meat and hard tack—we know
they will appreciate our interpretation of Presi
dent Grants motto: “Letns have peas!”

Remarkable Marriage—Betrothal to
Three Brothers.
From tic American Courier.]
We have been given the particulars of a case
this county, in which the bride was betrothed
to three brothers, and married two of them
which is rather remarkable :
On the 6th of August, 1866, a young man came
to Americus and procured license to marry an
estimeble young lady, residing several nules
from this city; went home, and was married in
the afternoon of that day: He was attacked by
a congestive chill, which terminated m his death
the following Saturday—the stricken bnde fol
lowing his remains to their last resting jaace,
clothed in the same suit in which her heart had
been made glad by becoming his bride.
On the following August (1867) the second
brother of the same family came to Americas
for the same purpose which had brought the de
ceased one year previous. On his way home-
re ioicing in happy anticipation of making the
worthy widow of his lost brother his own bnde
—he was caught in a heavy rain, and amredat
home with his clothing thoroughly saturated-
f rom which ho was taken with a congestive chill
the same evening and died the evening previous
to the marriage, which was to have taken P“® e
the following Sabbath. Again, instead of list
ening to the merry ringing of the
bells? the death knell was heard, and a fimeral
procession took the place of
V Some time daring the month the Unrd brother
of the deceased procured license and was hap
pily married to the twice-bereaved lady.

of many who will not do without It if It is to b. bad,
but we prefbr to give a letter from a man who Is well
and favorably known by almost everybody In Bibb
and Monroa counties. Koto a man is Dr. LEROY
HOLT:
Moxboi Coontt Ga.. December 25, 1888.
MESSRS. JONES, BAXTER k DAY. .
Qkxtlkmen ; In reply to your inquiry, I take pleas*
are in raying my experience with tbe CHESAPEAKE
.PHOSPHATE. I bought of yon lost spring, has been
very favorable. I used (300) two hundred pounds
npon <30 three-fourths uf an sere, third year’s pew
ground, applt ing it In tho drill rows three feet apart,
sixteen inches in the drill, on wbleh I bid five thou
sand seven hundred stalks of eotton. From this; I
gathered (1824) eighteen hundred and twenty-fonr
pounds of cotton. Tbe lost of August, the worm com
mitted great ravage* in it, destroying all of the late
crop. Had it not been for the worm I should bare
made at least one-third more on the land. I can cheer
fully reoautnend it to Planters as a Fertil iter for cot
ton. Respectfully,
(Signed)
L. HOLT.

Read the following letter from a wall known eitiien
of Monroe county:
Moxeoe Cooxtt. Go*. Jan. 4.1869.
Mr. Qeo. Dnodnle, Baltimore, Md.:
DgiE Slo—I made an experiment upon Cotton tbe
past season with Baugh’s Raw-Bone Phosphate. I
tued it at the rate of only One Hundred Pounds Per
Acre, applying it in the row with the seed, and the
yield ofootton from land to which the Phosphate was
applied, wss One Hundred Per Cent, greater than
from land on whiclrtio fcrtHixrr was used; tho differ
ence being so great that I eonld see to the very row
where I stopped dropping the Phosphite.
lean, with confidence, recommend Bangh’s Raw-
Bone Phosphate as being a reliable and satisfactory
article.
