COMMERCIAL FERTII.IZERS.
AND
“ UNDETERMINED ELEMENTS.”
A painter of old conceived this
quaint, yet shrewd device :
Drawing a king arrays 1 in royal
apparel, with crown and sceptre —a
bishop, in mitre and gown—a soldier,
armed cap a-pie —and a farmer at the
plow handles—lie wrote as follows :
King. I rule over all.
Bishop. I pray for all.
Soldier. I fight for all.
Farmer. I feed all.
The feeding interest is the great
material interest. When it flourish
es, so does the whole body poikie.—■
When it languishes, all else goes into
a decline. Whatever is inimical to it
is an enemy to every other interest of
the State.
No interest can permanently clash
with the agricultural—for every other
is really independent upon it ; anrl
any interest which opposes the farmer
and oppresses him and thrives upon
the oppression, can do so only tempo
arily—for it is sap] ing the very foun
dation of its own prosperity, and must
sooner or later, pull down the temple
upon its own head.
The fanning interest may he noth*
ing*more than the “belly” of the old
fable ; but it is the “belly” that sup
plies the nourishment for all llie oth
or members, and it is the most im
port ant organ under all the aspects of
health and disease.
Such were the thoughts excited,
when reflecting upon the present lan
guishing stale of agriculture in Geor
gia ; and, whilst seeking to explore
the cause, there appeared three great
enemies or classes of enemies to that
important interest—yet all bear the
guise of friends :
I Commercial Fertilizers.
11. Speculators in Bread Stuffs and
Lien Laws.
111. Homestead exemptions.
On the present occasion battle will
be waged against the first, and those
insidious friends will be considered
under the heads of (1) Frauds ; (2) ef
fects upon soil ; (3) effects upon farm
ers and farming. Some proofs wil
then be given and a remedy pointed
out.
FRAUDS.
Whilst glancing over some tables
of analyses of commercial fertilizers
largely used in Georgia, the attention
was lixtd by the words undetermined
dements." Immediately there arose
the question, '‘Why are not these elo
meats determined ? The reply
prompty came. Because they are
worthless
Curiosity being aroused, the tables
were scrutinized with more erne,
when it was discovered that every
hundred pounds of those manipulated
fertilizers contained
25 to 31 pounds of undetermined elements,
15 " 19 ft moisture,
-13 “ 34 *' organic matter,
14 ‘’l3 “ genuine fertilizers.
That is out of every 10d lbs. of
such fertilizers the farmer gets only
13 or 14 pounds of some thing not
furnished by his own farm. Every
thing else he has theie in abundance,
'fhe nature of the "organic matter"
is not given ; blit, as its only province
appears to be to yield a little aminoj
-Hyt, tlie* presumption is tnat every
farm can supply such "organic mat'
ter," or its equivalent, in sufficient
quantities for all necessary purposes.
llesearch being stimulated by these
results, other analyses of other-popu
lar manufactured fertilizers were
sought for, ami this general conelu
sion was reached : that none —3o far
as the examination extended—con
tain more than 30 per cent of genu
ine commercial fertilizers not found
on farms generally, whilst few contain
more than 15 to kO per cent.
Those manufactured commercial
fertilizers are, there*ore, frauds rp*
on the farming int rest. It is true
ihe analyses are published ; but few
have access to them, or read them
with care, or consider their import.—

effects upon soil.
Os the value of a good commercial
fertilizer tuere can be no question.—
It seems to give crops an early and
vigorous start—stimulating the soil,
so to speak to the greatest exertions
to push forward vegetation to abun
dant fruitage and early maturity. But
it must be judiciously applied, and
farmers should remember that plants
do not derive all their nourishment
from the soil.
Moreover, there is some danger to
be apprehended from the long contin
ued use of highly stimulating manures;
for tlm.experience of market gardens
has proved that they tend ultimately
to make tile soil lifeless, productless
and that rotation of manures is as
important as a rotation of crops. —
Commercial fertilizers should not.

dant supply of wholesome food Too
much stimulant may he as had jor

made food is generally better and freer
from adulteration than any other.
EFFECTS UPON FARMERS AMD FARMING,
These are palnfu'ly evident. Re*
lying upon commercial fertilizer,
fanner have largely neglected home
made manures, and have turned their
attention almost exclusively to money
producing crops. Bread crops appear
to be at a discount, and speculative
farming to be all the go. The result is,
“Hard times and worse a coming.”
Georgia owed abroad in 1871, for
supplies upwards of thirty six mil*,
lions of dollars. Os th is amount ten
millions were for commercial fertil
izers v The speculative crops did not
pay expenses, and the general conse
quence of speculative farming is that
the people are getting deeper and
deeper in debt eveuy year.
Speculation is a disease, a mania ;
and the speculator is a sort of business
loon. He is sometimes successfu'
but he generally ends in bankruptcy.
When then speculation pervades the
entire community, what is to he exs
pected ? Universal disaster. So
teaches the past.

other drain will be stopped—millions
being kept at home that would other

3. Let each county have an agri
cultural society and organize a com
pany for the home preparation of com
mercial fertilizers. The State should
aid in this matter by having a coins
potent Slate Agricultural Chemist
whose, duty it shall be to study the
different varieties of soil and prepare
formulas for the manufacture of fertil
izers the best adapted to the different
crops cultivated at different times
on the same field, the county
companies, organized in the interest
of the county fanners and maintained
at their expense, supplying the man
ufactured fertilizers to home consum
ers at the bare cost of production.
CONCLUSION.
%
Commercial Fertilizers, as now mans
ufactnred and sold, are enemies to the
farming interest, because (1) they
fraudulently deceive farmers as to
their composition and value ; (2) the
continued use ol highly stimulating
manures tend to exhaust the soil very
rapidly ; (3) their use tends to dis
courage the preparation ot home ma
nures and develops a state of specula
tive farming ; and this style cf farm
ing leads to speculative living and fi
nancial disaster.

XsGE It lias often been said that
“truth is stranger than fiction.” The
following has lately came to our ear?.
Whether it be true or not, we are
not, at the present time in our pres
ent condition, prepared to say, but
still it was tons to us as such, and
we dare not doubt it. A young man,
living near Alcova River, about 5
miles from here Las greatly puzzled
the neighbors by Ids ingenious man
ner of capturing wild ducks. He puts
a hollow pumpkin over his head, and
trades into the pond where the ducks
frequent. Presently these unsuspect
ing birds perceive a floating pumpkin
and, with quacks of joy, proceed to
dig out the seed What the ducks
who view the scene from a distance
cannot understand is the singular way
in which those who arc investigating
the pumpkin suddenly dive and do
not come tar the surface again. The
pumpkin also reappears day after day
in an undiminished state That boy
thinks that unless the ducks grow
tired of investigating the matter, he
will be able to retire from business in
a few weeks, and devote the rest of
his life to the peaceful pursuits of
marbles and mumble-peg.

It appears that Dr. Franklin in his
will left Boston one thousand pounds.
As he had an exaggerated idea ot
prudent savings lie directed that this
one thousand pounds should be in
vested until it amounted, as he calcu
lated in one hundred years, to one
hundred and thirty-two thousand
pounds. Then it was to be spent on
public works. The sum has amount
ed up to the present issue, to one hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars.—
The Bostonians take things in time, so
they have commenced the debate as
to what shall be done with this mon
ey. A public parkis advocated, as
preferable, to Franklin’s idea of “for*
tification, bridges, aqueducts, public
buildings, baths or pavements.”
Editorials. —A noted chap once
stepped into the sanctum of a vener
able and highly respected editor, and
indulged in a tirade against a citizen
with whom he was on bad terms. ‘I
wish,” said lie, addressing the man
with the pen, “that you would write a
very severe article against II , and
put in vour paper.” “Very well,” was
the reply. After some more conver
sation the visitor went away. The
next morning he came rushiu >• into
the office, in a violent state of excite
meat “What did you put in your
paper ? I have had my nose pulled
and been kicked twice.” ‘I wrote a
severe article, as you desired,” calmly
returned the editor and signed your
name to it.

“Signs of the Times.”
THE END OF THE WORLD WHEN SALI.
IT BE !
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AT THE
VERY DOOR.
DISCOURSE BY ELDER T. H. HARRIS.
On Sunday evening last, at the
Christian Church, in this city. Elder
T. 31. Harris concluded his series of
sermons on the “Sign other Times,”
as to the second advent of Christ on
earth.
A large and intelligent audience had
assembled to hear him on this novel
but interesting subjec*. The house
was crowded to its utmost capacity,
every seat being occupied. For two
hours the distinguished divine en
chained the undivided attention of
his auditors while he snemitted his
arguments in favor ot the proposition
set forth that “the signs of the times
indicate that the second coming of
Christ is near at hand— at the very
door.”
3lr. Harris stated that since ho had
been investigating this subject a tide
of correspondence, principally fr 1 a
annoin mans writers from all part* ot
tiie country had been ushered up u
him, calling for answers to questi ms
propounded by them. This, he in
ferred, was produced by reports of Ids
discourse having been published i:i
the Atlanta Herald, the
culation of which he concedes and
appreciates. In support of the first
proposition, the speaker added there,
io-wit : That no dispensation had
lasted more than two thousand years,,
and that tins will not ; that the pres*
out dispensation is Gentile, as contra
distinguished from* the Jewish, and
enceeeds the latter. lie also submit
ted what is known as the serentary ar
gument for the reason that holy writ
abounds in illustrations by sevens ;
instance—God created the world in
six da,sand rested on the seventh.—
The application was made to the ef
fect that, as God rested on the seventh
day, would the Saints rest in the sev
en thousandth year. 3lr. Harris as
serts that the coming of Christ will
be premillenium and not post-milleni
nm. Again, that the coming qf Christ
will be concurrent with the downfall
ot the Papacy which lie considers
now in a rapid and permanent de
cline.
WHEN IIE WILL COME .
T he preacher annoiuiced that Christ
may come at any time : that it is near
at hand, and lie evidently bases it on
tie ground that the advent will be
contemporaneous with the completion
ot the year of the world six thousand,
and that tins will occur before the
year of Christ nineteen hundred. lie
affirms that the cronological table, es
tablished by Pope Gregory of Ron in
is erroneous, in that it makes the
world one hundred years at least
younger than it really is—the tables
establishing the year, of the world six
thousand. He stated that there are
Christians now living who will prob
ably see Christ descending through
the air. The discourse was elaborate
and wejeannot expect in a brief a out
line, to do more than give the most
prominent points made. The speaker
evidently has bestowed thought and
attention upon the subject, and how
ever the fact in regard to the time of
the coming may he, Lis theory, when
backed by his arguments, appears at
least plausible. We regret our ina*
bilily to give the discourse entire, and
that any person in the city tailed to
hear it..— Atlanta Herald.
Humbugs and Sv/indles.
The world is full of cheats, in every
department of its existence. There
is hardly any article of common use
that is just what is represented to b
where there is any chance to imitate
it. Connecticut has long been famous
for its wooden nutmegs and hams, and
the genius who sharpened both ends
of his shoe pegs and sold them for
anew variety of oats was doubtless
a citizen of that State. Many of
our readers, whose heads are not yet
very gray, can doubtless remember
the time when tin pans, pails etc.,
were almost as lasting as pewter.—
Then the thrifty house wife would
scour them when they became dirty,
and restore them to their pristine
brightness and beauty. Now sheet
iron of gosamer thickness—of. thin
ness—is washed over with a solution
of lead, which evaporates after a few
week’s use, leaving an unsightly, rust
eaten abomination, to remind us of
human rascality.
Modern pins are another cheat
which ought'to stick in the conscien
ces of their swindling manafacturers.
A genuine brass pin has got to be a
thing of the past. We buy a paper
of pins, paying full price for them un
der the impression that they are real
brass, but find to our cost that they
are badly made of iron wire, washed
over with a thin coat of tin which will
last till you stick it in a garment, but
wo be unto you if it chances to get
wet. No amount of pulling will dis
lodge it, till ydn tear it loose by main
strength. A fish hook would almost
do as well.
We once bought a large lot of
needles nicely polished, and beautiful
to the eye, but which might almost as
well have, been made of type metal
when put to real use. They were a
delusion and a snare. So it goes, all
through the catalogue. Cast iron
tacks and scissors, paper soled shors,
fur hats made of cotton, nothing is re
al. We are getting to be people of
sham and sh w, and the man who
can make the best imitations reaps the
greatest rewards
We have almost got to believe with
Hudilras Butler:

In being cheated as to cheat.”

A Stupendous Swindle—a he
South to b3 the Scapeeoat
For some time past intimations
1 have been given out in various quar -
ters that a movement was on foot, the
object ot which is to indube Congress
to come to the relief of the South by
assuming the debts of the Southern
States. The latest development in
reference to this grand carpet-bag
scheme to render available and good
the utterly worthless bonds with
which, in their plundering operations
they have burthened the Southern
States under their control, is in the
shape of a Washington dispatch to
the Northern press which says : “It
, is saidjthut Ben Butler will engineer the
job, and that the plan is to scale the
debt, paying twenty-five cents on the
dollar. It is also said that Gilbert C.
Walker, the present Governor of \ a
ginia, is largely interested in the job.
lie has been investing largely in \ ir
ginia securities, and ho ires to he elec
ted to the United States Senate this
winter through the combined influ
ence of Tom Scott’s Southern Secu
rity Railroad Ring and the lobby that. 1
is t.i w rk for the assumption by the
Unite 1 States of the Southern State
debts."
We regret to o v serve that some
‘v.'Ui’iern j uirnals favor this stupen*
and ns swindle, on the ground that it
will relieve the South from indebted*
ness which her peep! • never contrac
ted, and from which they have derived
no benefit. There is some specious
ness in the argument that a large por
tion of the debt which has accrued
since the war was fraudulently crea
ted by the carpetbag governments
forced upon the South by the Federal
Government, and that since that Gov
ernment is responsible for the acts of
its agents, lawful as well as unlawful
it is but right and proper that it
should assume the obligations, fraudu
lent though they he, that its bayonet
installed satraps have created. Such
reasoning sounds logical and just, and
would not be without force it the re
sponsibility of compounding with our
plunderers could be devolved solely
on the Government. But this cannot
be. Whatever obligation the Feder
al Government may assume iu the
the premises, is shared by the plun
dered taxpayers of the South, while
the benefits to the result from tire as
sumption of the debts of the Southern
States, would go mainly to our plun
derers and the rings of lobbyists and
speculators who may unite their in
fluence for the accomplishment of the
object in vtew. m
\Ye shall not be much disappointed
if this grand scheme for plundering
the United States treasury, now that
the Southern State Treasuries are ex
hausted, is pushed through Congress.
The interests at work in its behalf are
potent. Beast Butler, the unscrupu
lous intriguer and corruptionist, it is
understood, is deeply interested in bo .
gus Southern State securities. As
leader of the movement he may safely
count upon the carpet-bag strength in
Congress, while the temptation for
speculation is so great, the scheme will
not fail to command a powerful lobby
influence. It would be strange in
deed, if such a combination of influ
ences could not succeed in carrying a
measure involving millions of plunder
through a Congress that only recent
ly belonged to the Credit*Mobilier,
and which did not hesitate to perpe
trate the back salary steal.
But if it is impossible for the hon
est men in Congress to defeat this
stupendous fraud, we hope for the
honor ot the South, it will meet a vig
orous opposition and a stern protest
from her true Representatives.—>67:-

A medicine that has done more than
all the prescriptions cf the pharoiaco-*
paeia to protect the human system
against the bodily ills superinduced
by unhealthy surroundings, is certain
lv worthy of universal confidence.—
It is mainly on account of its extra
ordinary preventive properties that
Hostetler's Stomach Bitters is so ex
ceedingly popular in localities subject
to the visitation of miasmatic fevers
and other diseases produced by em
poisoned air. A family that has es
caped sickness during a sickly season
in consequence of using the Bitters
as a safeguard, is a living advertise
ment of the virtues ot the prepai alien.
The whole neighborhood realize the
fact. “ I coulden't have believed it,”
says one. I scarcely credited the
'advertisements ; but one must believe
what one sees,” says another. 41 It is
the very thing we need in this un
wholesome section of country,” re
marks a third. And the result is that
the instinct of self-defence, the first
law of nature, induces three-fourths ot
that community to obtain a supply of
the g. eat vegetable antipode before
the next sickly season sets in. In
winter, when the system requires ex
tra vigor and elasticity to enable it to
j bafile the effects of damp and cold,
the Bitters will be found particularly
serviceable. Rheumatism will not be
apt to fasten upon muscles and nerves
that have been braced up by this ex
