Renovation of Worn-out Noils.
We call attention to the article on tho above
mbjebt by Prof. Mnasa, end would suggest to
our planting community that they preserve it
for future reference and imrtruction.
The science of agriculture in Europe ha* at
tained to more advanced theories, based on the
result* of actual experiment, than in America.
It* theories have all been tasted by the most em
inent scientist*, and from them eliminated what
ever wiut conducive to tho advancement of agri
culture and It* concomitant interests.
No on* has contributed so much to the gen
eral good of agricultural science, by travel and
and experiment, arriving at reauli* in furtherance
of ita necessities, as I*rof. George Villo, of Paris.
Hi* theories, as set forth in his great “Confer
ences” of 1864, which are in harmony with the
German methods an enunciated by Dr. Dretrner,
are the matured feet* as established by experi
ment, both in the field, on a variety of soils,and
in tb* lubratory. For Chi* reason bis opinion*
should havo great weight in the general treat
ment of soil*. Hie “Scrie* of tho Agent* of
Fertility” enable* the planter in every deportment
of agriculture the world over to know by practical
method* wlrnt ore the requirements of soli* with
reference to the vegetation sought to bo grown.
Of course, the mode of culture will vary in the
ratio of the success attending individual effort.
Prof. Mussa, by careful analysis, ha* shown
that tbs chief elements of fertility in a manure
are phosphoric acid, potn*h and 1 i. no, with a
moderate percentage ol nitrogen; of these
phosphoric acid forming the greatest constitu
ent of the cotton plant. Nitrogen being an or
ganic element, should be introduced in such
quantity as practical analysis will dictate. A*
to the forms of manure constituents, they should
be in the easiest soluble and assimilable form;
say for phosphoric acid either superphosphate
or precipitated phosphate of lime. Nitrogen
should be in the form of a nitrate in preference
to the more crystalized composition of amruoni
ncal suit. For potash the nitrate, sulphate or
silicate will answer, provided it is incorporated
iu it* needed quantities, which must be deter
mined by the nature of the soils on which tho
manipulation i* to bo applied. Gypsum, which
contains about the proper proportion, say 0.30
to 0.36 of sulphate of lime, in connection with
the superphosphate, keeps the other constituents
in a stale of uniformity, drynoss, and regulates
their permanent relativo position one to another,
constituting au Importrnt complement to every
soil.
We regret that the length of these notes will
not permit us to go more fully into the renova
vation of exhausted or worn-out soils. I’rol.
Mussa has shown that hnmus which Prof. Ville
says, as does Dr. Pretmer, of Germany, is no
tiling hut carbon and water, or snch elements
as plants have abundantly at thuir command in
air, earth aud water, can and does exist in ex
hausted nr sterile soils, having within itself no
fertilizing properties whatever. This is in direct
antagonism to the theory of Dr .Pendleton, of our
Htato Agricultural College. We do not, howev
er,intend to outer the lists with these learned gen
tlemen in the discussion of this question. Hu
mus is fertilizing only in ils assimilable state;
that is, w hen brought in contact and absorption
with the elements we have named as constitu
ting a manure, namely: Phosphorio acid, pot
ash nml lime, with their necessary constituents,
nitrogen, with the complement of gypsum to fix
them into permanence after assimilation has been
completed. Tho above humus Ims reference to
that kind existing in the turf of worn-out soils.
Where humus has been generated by the action
of forests on earth it jsissesses in a proper com
bination the mineral fertilizing substances ne
cessary to tho production of vegetation. These
constituents are geiierale.l in tho great lnbratorv
of Nature, whose processes are unerring, always
consummating their destiny, the gradual recu
peration of her own exhaustion trout mechanical
or natural means.
But in the application of a commercial fertil
izer to soil we have not so much to do with the
prevailing amount of hnmus it may contain, as
w ith the chemical needs of the crops desired io
be grown. When these are applied in the pro-
I>cr proportions, the results will bo more or less
remunerative, as the meteorology of the season
will determine. We should be careful lo assist
the action of any stimulating agent by suitable
cultivation, rendering the assistance that wHI
allow free scojs' to the plant, unchecked by ex
haustive weeds and grasses.
W* need uot fear the results when we put in
to practice tho principles which science demon
strates to be correct, from her long catalogue of
satisfactory experiments.
The OnjtAT Geoboia State Fate.— Mayor W.
-4. Huff of Maoon, has issued an address to the
people of Georgia setting forth the leading fea
ture* of, and tho results to be accomplished by
the grand industrial exposition to be bold in
Hint city next October. Mayor Huff's letter is a
practical thesis of the present state affairs, and
deals with ungloved logic with that theory
which seeks to base the prosperity ot the coun
try on the sole production of cotton, to the ut
ter exclusion of diversified husbandry. Every
man in the State should read and ponder the
opinions of Mayor Huff.
The next State Fair will be the greatest ex
position ever hold iu Georgia. Nothing tlint
energy and enterprise can accomplish, or taste
suggest, will l>o wanting. Upwards of $15,000
have been offered in prebiiums, and special at
tention is being given to county displays, com
peting for four prizes of SI,OOO for the county
mukiug the best display, SSOO to the second, S3OO
to the third, and S2OO to the one making the
fourth best display. Ample preparations are
making for tho accommodation of immense
crowds, and a good time is promised.
The Contention or School Commission-ebb.
—We direct the attention of County School Com
missioners iu tliis and adjoiniug counties to the
communication of Prof. Gustnvus J. Orr, State
School Commissioner.
This contention in every respect will beau
im|wrtant one to our public school interests,
and it is hoped that much good will accrue to
the cause of popular education iu Georgia.
The object ol the convention ia to awoken the
popular mind to the interest of the public school
system. It is necessary that the masses should
reap some of the beueflts of State education;ami
in order that theyjshould be secured in this
privilege, it behooves those having the matter iu I
charge to devise through their conventions tho
beet plans for placing the common school sys
tem within the reach of oil who seek to become
its beneficiaries.
It is the province of this system to educate
the masses, and thus elevate the tone of society,
tho standard of morality, by bringing into ac
tive promisence the holier instincts of our hu
manity. Much is vet needed to perfect the pres
ent system; and to accomplish satisfactory re
sults it is necessary that harmony and a thor
ough enti-rehauge of opinion should character
ize (he dt liberation of the Convention. The
city of Atlanta with her accustomed spirit and
liberality, is making proper arrangements to
entertain those iu attendance on the convention.
Lonse i in Cotton Future*.
The Mobil© correspondent of the New York
Ballot in estimates that the city of Mobile alone
loet one million, and the South one hundred
million dollars on speculations in cotton fu
tures. These operations were based on the
supposition that the lost cotton crop would not
exceed 3,000,000 or 3,250,000 bales. Subse
quent figure* have demonstrated the extent to
which they were deceived.
The total sales of the last crop did not exceed
more than $300,000.000, which have been ab
sorbed imrtially by betting strongly on cotton
“shorts” and paying provision bills in the West,
and the remaining thousand and one expenses
that attach to our present system of conducting
business. This deficit of $100,000,000 in the
Boa them exchequer has occasioned a crisis
worse than that of 1837, which lasted a year,
while the effects of the present deficiency will
continue to cripple our resources for years to
come.
Cannot our people be practical, and lot this
cotton gambling rest with the sharpers of Wall
Street, who originated it ? A desire for the rap
id gains promised by “futures,” is good pre
sumptive evidence that we are chafing under
the old processes of money making, and are
disposed to accumulate wealth with too much
rapidity for it to be t onest or legitimate.
If our people are determined on looking to a
one crop system for revenue to support all the
demands of the country, most assuredly they
should be prudent enough to secure from tho
actual sales of their product the proceeds of their
labor. Even this plan will eventually bankrupt
the entire country; for the history of agriculture
is clear iu its enunciation of the benefits of diver
sified industry, while it demonstrates with equal
clearness the futility, the defective economy of
a one crop system. The practical men of the
country recognize this as lact, and yet seem
borne on by the pressure of popular action in
the matter of their farm industries. If they
would save themselves from bankruptcy let them
jdopt the more diversified methods of culture
that distinguish so eminently the successful ag
riculturist
Letter from Fort Valley.
CROPS— PLEASANT DRIVE—COL. WM. BBOWN —BY-
-INOTOM HOUSE, SOUTHWESTERN B. R., ETC.
Fort Valley, Ga., June, 1873.
Notwithstanding the excess of rain, over
flows on the river, Ac., crop reports are favora
bly rendered from different sections of Houston
county. An immense amount of guano has
been sold at this point the present year. It is
reported heavy kisses have been sustained ou
cotton speculations known as 4 ‘futures,” by mer
chants and planters of this county.
This morning we enjoyed a delightful drive
with Miss 8., iu her pheuton to the spkmdkl res
idence ot ('ol. Win. I*. Brown. We were glad
to find this useful and good man fast recovering
from his recent severe attack from which he came
near dying.
The Byiugtou House continues to be the fa
vorite with the travelling public. It is perfectly
splendid.
The Southwestern Railroad boasts ol other
excellent hotels, the MeAffee House at Bui it h
ville; Albany House, at Albany, and Geneva
Hotel, at Geneva, which we recommend travel
lers to patronize.
Between Macon and Col umbos a large portion
of the truck, has been rolaid with Finch bar
iron, joined together by clasps aud bolted,
which make it a continuous rail. Scarcely any
iuotiou in felt, riding as smoothly os a boat on
a lake. Certainly Messrs. Wadley, Holt. Bowers,
and Rogers, deserve the everlasting gratitude of
the country for the successful efforts they have
made to advance the interest of the people by
reducing rates of passage and freights to as low
figures as it is possible to mukw them consistent
with the interest of the company.
Tho Central and Southwestern Railroads are
well officered, recognizing none but men of com
petence and ability in the various departments.
It would be difficcult to secure four men in the
entire South of equal capacity and experience
possessed by Wadley, Holt, Rogers and Bowers.
And where can you find nobler fellows than
Giles, Jeter, Burn, Bennett, Kemp and Jeffers,
conductor?, who have held their places for yearn
on tho different lines of the road; or a more ef
ficient agent than R. A. Paschal, at Geneva,
who has discharged his duties and obligations
iu a most satisfactory manner, tor years, iu tho
employ of the road. J. B. G.
There are fourteen thousand drag stores in

Iron and Protection. —Recent valuable sta
tistics of the consumption of r&ilroed iron in the
United States show that while we only imported
150,000,000 pounds in 1868, its importation in
1872 was increased to 236,000,000 pounds. The
United States consume annually about 800,000,-
000 pounds bar iron, 236,000,000 pounds of
which we import, and pay an average duty ot
1 io. per ponud. This demonstrate* the beauties
ot our system of protection. In this country
bar iron commands higher figures than anyw here
in the world. Protection does not keep Brinish
iron out of the market, norare the Pennsylvania
iron masters able to supply one halt the domes
tic demand.
Transportation.—The friends of the Atlantic
and Great Western Canal project say, with truth,
that tho Erie Canal, by building up Central and
Western New York, made the New York Central
Railroad possible; and the business of the ror.d.
this day, far exceeds the most sanguine expecta
tions of its founders, while the traffic of the Ca
nal has grown, side by side with it, from one
million one hundred thousand tous in 1847 to
nearly six ipilliou five hundred thousand tons iu
1871. Facts developed by large and long expe
rience of this hind are almost invaluable. When
the canal was carrying a million tons of freight a
month for ***“reliant* and others, the railways
were the most passengers and ma
king the most money. The prosperity ot one
kind of business helps all other industries in the
vicinity. The farmers, mechanics and manu
facturers of New York move the products of their
skill and labor forward to the best market at the
cost of a half cent a mile for two thousand
pound* transported. Such encouragement
enterprise creates capital rapidly.
Letter from Schley County.
Ella ville, Ga., June 0, 1873.
Ediiort Standard:
Thinking that your numerous readers would
like to hear of the prospects and condition of
the crops in this section of Southwest Georgia,
prompts me to write on this occasion.
,It has rained a great deal since tho 15th. of
last month, which has caused the grass to grow
rapidly. The wheat and oat crop is remarkably
good, but, unfortunately, the area sown is small.
The corn crop is considered very good, together
with a splendid stand; it is now buuching for
tassel, and being laid by. I think, from what
I can learn from inquiry, together with iny own
observation, there will be a sufficiency of corn
made in Schley to supply home consumption, if
the seasons should continue.
As to cotton, I will confess the farmers have
it on tho brain. I think there is about the same
acreage in cultivation as there was last year. I
hear of some squares. The plant is not in a
healthy condition, owing to too much rain.
Taking all things into consideration, I think
my county is in a tolerably good condition.
Respectfully,
E. L. Baldwin.
Con vent ion of County School
Commissioners.
Department of Education, |
Atlanta, Ga., June 10, 1873. j
Alter consultation with his Excellency the
Governor, I hereby call a convuiition of the
County Bchool Commissioners of tliis State, to
be held in this city on the 25th. ond 26th. days
of this month.
The objects of the convention are to awaken
interest in the public schools, to promote uni
formity in the practical workings of the system,
to secure a better understanding of its details,
ami to gain fuller information as to the shit us
of school affairs throughout the entire State.
Through the kindness oi the citizens of Atlan
ta, arrangements have already been made for
entertaining one hundred of the members free of
charge, and I feel safe in saying, from efforts
which I am now making, that I shall succeed in
providing for the remaining forty in the same
'/he folk)wing railroad companies have shown
their poblic spirit by granting a free return to
all members who j>ay full fare in coming, viz;
The Western and Atlantic, the Atlanta and
Richmond Air-Line, the Central and its connec
tions, including the Macon and Western and
the South Western and its branches, (he Geor
gia, the Rome, the Cherokee, the Atlantic and
Gulf, the Macon and Brunswick and the Atlan
ta and West Point.
In order to relieve the members as nearly as
possible from all expense, I hereby instruct the
several County Boards ol Education to consider
the throe or lour days devoted to official duty,
allowing the commissioners the usual per diem,
inasmuch as I feel assured tlmt this time wisely
spent will result in more solid good than the
same number of days occupied with any of the
regular labors.
The chief executive officers of systems in cities
and counties, established under special laws,
are also invited to attend.
Members, on coining into the city, will be met
at the trains ami shown to their homes by my
self and assistants. That they may beidt ntitied
l request them to wear, each, a ribbon tied in
the lapel of his coat My soli and assistants will
wear nine ribbons tied in the same manner.
Let nil come that they may consult the great

CUSTOMS MANNERS - DOOR AND CARTS- VEGETA
BLE MARKET AT CATHEDRAE OF DE VILLE—MAN
UPAerons of lags, carpets, etc.
The customs and manners of Belgians are as
singular as the people themselves.
This morning we rose early at our Hotel de
L’Tuivers, in the center oi the town, as was our
habit iu entering large cities like Brussells, Our
intention was, first to see the extensive vegeta
ble market in the open spuare opposite the Ca
ihedrnl do Ville. Imagine our surprise when
wo discovered our situation among the women
aud tbt ir dog coifs completely blockaded up in
the principal street leading to the market. There
were more dog* than horses employed by these |
hucksters in the transportation of milk, meats'
and vegetables, products of the little farms. The
scene presented is one of indescribable interest,
grotesque and amusing to an American tourist
There are several styles and sizes of the little
carts,employing from one to three dogs in draw
ing them. They generally consist of two wheels
with handles like a wheelbarrow, which are held
up by the driver, as the animals harnessed up
pull underneath’ The other style is similar,
with only one dog hitched to shaft, like a horse
is worked to a dump cart in Georgia. When we
see thase hundreds of dogs, all employed in the
commerce and traffic of tliis lovely city, how our
heart sighs when we remember that this very
day, iu old Georgia there are as many worthless
curs and hounds prowling about the sheep fold,
laying destruction and waste in their tracks.
There Blanche, Carlo, Trey and Troopboy are
rioting iu luxurious living, fnt lamb and mutton,
destroying thousands of dollars worth of proper
ty in Georgia annually, while their ancestors,
here, in Belgium, are used ou the tann and in
the city, earning their bread by the sweat of
their brows.
Finally, we reach the public plaza, where acres
of vegetables and wares are being exposed for
sale. In looking over the variety we observe
many fine vegetables, such as cabbage, beets,
onions, lettuce, squash, raddisli, &©., to remind
us of home. Tffe cauliflower here, as in other
parte of Europe, is cultivated extensively in
Belgium. Prices are about, half what they are
in America. We have not seen a single ear of
corn in Europe, thus far; it is not cultivated.
Fruits of various kinds are scarce yet and high,
except plums, prunes, Ac., which we find to be
perfectly delicious. Grapes are obtained, now,
lrom Italy and the Isles of theMcditeranean.not
ripening in this part of Europe till hist of Au
gust and September. Belgium buys nearly all
her wines from France and Germany, which are
consequently higher here than iu those countries.
Before leaving the grand market we must men
tion two fine statues of Counts Egrnout and
Hoome, by Fruiting. There is a curious little
bronze statue, probably a thousand years old,
of a boy, on the plaza, representing a fountain,
disehaiging water. Great interest is attached
to this statue and on fete-days he is dressed
up in a gorgeous style. It is called the
“Mannakin” and has a world wide reputation.
We now pass through the “Grand Arcade,”
a large building covered with glass, opening at
each end, ou different streets, similar to the ar
j cades of Glasgow, Loudon and Paris, containing
; hundred* of shops, displaying the finest laces"
; jewelry, and goods of every description. Turu
! mg to the left, a few paces up the street, we en
j ter a lace manufactory, employing a number of
i women, who are at work with their fingers, mak-
I ing the celebrated Brussells lace, so much ap
j predated by us in America. We conversed with
| one of the ladies, who informed ns the process
! WfcS tedious and laborious. The samples shown
j were perfectly splendid, especially tha points
j ai } cottars, of which we liked to have purehas
| but tor want ot sizes and not knowing for
j whom to purchase. [This comes of the old sin
j ner g being a bachelor.—Coiq>.] Lace is also
manufactured in Brussells by machinery; prices
j about half of those in JfewYork. Carpets are
| made in Brussells and surrounding towns about
1 half the cost in America. J. B. g.

The startling drawback on nearly all medicin
al agents lias ever been that in their process of
purgation and purification they have also debil
itated the system. To obviate this difficulty
i physicians have long songht an agent that would
PURGE,PURIFY & STRENGTHEN
At one and the same time.
Their research has at lust lieen rewarded by a
discovery which fully realizes the fondest desires
of the medical faculty, and which is justly re
garded as the most important triumph that Phar
macy has ever achieved. This important desid
eratum is
Dr. Tutt’s Vegetable I-iver Pills.
Which purify tlie blood and remove all corrupt
humors and unhealthy accumulations from the
body, nnd yet produces no weakness or lassitude
whatever, but on the contrary tones the stomach
aud invigorates the body during the progress of
their ojieration. They unite the heretofore irre
coneiluhle qualities of a Strengthening Purga
tive and a Purifying Tonic.
Dr. Tutt's Pills are the most active and
searching medicine in existence. They at once
attack the very root of the diseases, and their
action is so prompt that in an hour or two after
they are taken the patient is aware of their good
effects. They may be taken at any time with
out restraint ot diet or occumition; they produce
neither nausea, griping or debility, and as a fam
ily nu-ji.'ine they have no rival.

Is the rnobt powerful cleanser, Btrengthener
and remover of Glandular Obstruction known
j to itileria Medico.
It is specirlly adapted to constitutions “worn
down ’ aud debilitated by the warm weather of
Spring and Summer, when the blood is not in
active circulation, consequently gathering impu
rities frem sluggishness and imperfect action of
the secretive organs and is manifested by Tu
mors, Eruptions, Blotches, Boils, Pustules,Scro
fula. Ac., &c.
M hen weary aud languid from overwork, and
dullness, drowziness and inertia take the place
ot energy and vigor, the system needs a Tonic
to build it up and hdp the vital forces to regain
their recuperative power.
In the heat of Summer, frequently the Liver ’
! and Spleen do not properly perform their func
i lions; the Uterine and Urinary Organs are inac
tive, producing weakness of the stomach and in
testines and a predisposition to bilious derange
ment. °
Dr. Well’s
EXTRACT OF JURDBEBA
is prepared directly from the South American
1 lent, and is peculiarly suited to all these diffi
culties; it will cleanse the Vitiated Blood,
strengthen the Liee-Giting Powers, and Behove
all Obstructions from Impaired and Enfee
bled Organs.
It should be freely taken, as Jurabeba is pro
nounced by medical writers the most efficient
