BONE EAItTII.
We arc anxious to see a more general uo i
of crushed I sines, as we believe that they are
the most valuable manure (so far as- pennu
noncy is concerned) that can be used on most
crops. The following from Prof. S. W. John
son, to the Connecticut Agricultural Society,
will be read with interest:
Having lately been asked by several, agri
culturists if there is any method known of
bringing whole bones into a pulverized con
ation. otherwise than by grinding, or treat
"•merit with oil of vitriol,*l take the opportuni
ty to communicate to the members of the
Statu Society the process of reducing them
into a convenient form by fermentation.
This process has been practiced in Eng
land, for ten years or more, having been
brought before the public there by Mr. Pusey,
for many years the editor of the Journal of
tl e Royal Agricultural Society, of England ;
but it appears not to have become very wide
ly known iu this country.
The process depends upon the fact that
bones consist to the amount of onclthird their
weight, of cartillage.'or animal matter, which
under the influence of and moisture,
readily decomposes, (ferments or decays,)
and loses its texture, so that the bones fall
to dust.
From the* closeness and solidity of the
bony structure, decay is excited and main
tained with some difficulty. A single bone,
or a heap of bones, never decays alone, but
dries and liardcnson exposure. If, however,
bone* in quantity be brought into close con
tact with suite easily fermentable moist sub
stance, but little time elapses before a rapid
decay sets in.
So too, if fresh crushed bones are mixed
with sand soil, or any powdery matter that
fills up the spaces between the fragments of
bone, and makes the henpcompact, and then
are moistened with pure water, the same re
sult will take place in warm weather, though
more slowly.
, The practical process may be as follows:
The bones if whole, should be broken up as
4 far*-i jnnveaieut by a sledge-hammer, and
mndejfnto alternate layers* with sdu3, Warn,
saw-dust, leached ashes, coal ashes, or swamp
muck, using just enough of any one of these
materials to illlSpmpactly the cavities among
the bones, but InCrdiy more. Regin with a
thick layers ol’ earth or muck, and as the
pilo is raised, pour on stale urine or dung
heap liquor enough to moisten the whole
mass thoroughly, and finally, cover a foot
thick with soil or muck.
In warm weather the decomposition goes
on at once, and in from two to six or more
weeks the bones will have nearly or entirely
disappeared.
If the fermentation should spend itself
without reducing the bones sufficiently, the
heap may be overhauled and built up again,
moistening with liquid manure, and cover
ing as before.
By thrusting n polo or bar into the heap,
tho progress of decomposition may be traced
from tho heat and odor evolved.
Should the heap become heated to the sur
face, so that ammonia escapes, as may be
judged by the smell, it may he covered still
more thickly with earth or muck.
The larger the heap, the finer the bones,
and tho more stale urine or dung liquor they
have been made to nhsor'b, -the more rapid
anti complete will be the disintegrario.pt.
In these heaps, horse-dung or other rupicj
ly fermenting manure may replaced the’
ashes, etc., but earth or muck should be used
io cover the heap.
Tliis bone compost contains the phosphates
of lirno in a finely divided state, and the
nitrogen of"(Y;<vwliicli has mostly
GROWING POTATOES UNDER STRAW.
Hiking seen, in the Agricultural journal ,
mme than twenty, years ago, reports of ex
traordinary* success in raising potatoes l y
covering of them up with straw, I was in
duced to try a smull experiment, ihe result
of which 1 will relate for the beuefit of your
readers.
A plat in my garden, jiboutfiO feetsquare,
of well manured clayey loam, was nicely
spaded up and made fine anil suioolti. It
was then marked out in shallow drills, two
feet and and a half apart,-and potatoes (of
the pink-eje variety) planted “Whole, two feet
apart in the drills, and barely covered with
earth. The whole patch was then covered
with light dry wheat straw—which has been
very much broken bv its passage through a
thrashing machine—and the same spread
lightly and evenly with a pitchfork, to the
depth of about two feet. Several showers
occurred soon after the potatoes were planted,
which settled the straw very considerably,
and in due time the vines came up through
the straw, and soon covered the entire sur
face with the rankest vegetation.
Nothing more was done to the patch til!
the vines were killed by frost in autumn. —
Not a weed appeared tunong them. At the
usual time of digging potatoes the dead vines
were all pulled, add removed; then, with a
potato fork, jthe layer of straw—which was
pretty well rotted, and not more than four or
five inches in thickness—was carefully re
movod. To my great surprise, there lay the
potatoes on the surface, literally covering the
ground, and almost as clean as if they had
been washed. They were picked up and
measured, but the quantity I do not remem*
ber. This much, howovor, I well recollect,
that I never raised so good a crop by any
other mode of culture. They were of very
uniform size, and of good quality.
S. Mosher,
Latonia Springs, Ky\
Undoubtedly: the above method of growing
potatoes is worthy of future trial—especially
by those who live in warm latitudes. Pro
tected by the straw from the scorching rays
of the sun, the ground would naturally re
main moist and cool—thus providing for the
potato roots those conditions of soil best adapt
ed to their growth. So says tho Ohio Valley
Farmer.
Should any of our readers take it into their
heads to adopt this ifovcl mode of planting,
we shall be happy to lay’ the result before
the readers.—Ed. Clipper.
PLANT CORN—OATS—WHEAT!
Macon, Feb. 1800.
Editor Daily Telegraph —
I am a planter—blest the present year
with com and bacon enough to do do me—
therefore, can I*not lift an unselfish Voice of
advice to my fellow planters? It is about
the time for planting of the corn crop. Now,
1 urn jot a uutoil-.man. .buLgreatly dewy Jo
see an independent South, and am tired of
so much “buncomb” talk while there is so
little exertion on the part of Southerners to
bo independent of northern abolitionists.—
Will confess that it anuoysiueto sec so much
northern hay, caiial and Hiram Smith flour,
and such like, from, the very scat of aboli
tionism, as is for sale iu our city at the pres
ent time. Rut to the corn crop—corn is now
worth here 1.10, meal 1.20, fami’y flour $5,
oats 90 cents, bacon 12) cents. Are not
these prices more remunerative than 10) cent
cotton, or trashy cotton as many of our plant
ers have this season at 7 and 8 cents? It
used to be tho common saying of a wealthy
planter near l>y, “ show me a famor who
raises a plenty of provisions, and I will show
you a man generally easy in money matters.”
Now I frequently hear the planters complain
that grocery merchants get all they make,
;*nd the Ledger foots up eight, twelve and
fourteen hundred dollars—but see the items,
look at tho hundreds of lbs. of bacon at 12)
cents, while the best of cotton is about 10)
cents.
Come, friends, let us have more corn and
bacon, cleaner cotton, and no northern hay
or Hiram Smith flour. But enough.

Land Measure. —Every fanner should
have a i*od measure—a light, stiff pole, just
10) feet long—fir measuring land. By a
little practice, he can learn to step just a rod
in five steps, which answers very well for
farm work. Ascertain the number of rods
in the length and width of the lot you wish
to measure, and multiply oue number by the
other, and divide by 100, anti you have thej
number of acres, as 100 square rods makti
one square acre. If you wish to lay off odta
square acre measure thirteen rods one sitleu
by twelve and a half on the other. This
gives two anti a half rods over a full acre.
The Potato. —Sir Walter Raleigh who
was the first discoverer of the value us tip*
potato as food for man, one day ordered jWot
of dry weeds to be collected aud tmral-v
Among these was a lot of dried potatoes!
After the bonfire, these potatoes were pickets
up thoroughly roasted. Sir Walter lasted
and pronounced them delicious. By this ac-.
eident was discovered a species of food whitwt
has saved millions of the human race from

What shall Ibo ? Where shall Igo ? (
I’d give a thousond worlds to know. i
Shall I exist, or shall I not ? jk
Coasing to be-M[ dread the thought—
Ityes death, in fact, destroy the whole, yj
And with the body kill the soul ? t .,M
Beaton ! I choose thee for my guide, j
I’ll hear thy voice, and none beside;
Come now, deside the doubtful strife,
’Twixt endless sleep and endless life.
Some, who thy sole dominion own.
As Nature’s brightest, eldest son.
Say thou bant taught the soul will live,
And her account to God must give.
Others deny that this will be,
And both for proof appeal to thee.
I feel, 1 kuow that I have sinned,
Aud conscience rages here within ;
If there’s a God—l fear ’tis true—
Does he the creature’s conduct view ?
And if the soul immortal prove, ;
Can sinners ever taste his love ?
Will they have nothing then to fear,
Because he governs there and here ?
If lie is good, will he destroy,
And banish every human joy ?
Are parents hurried to the tomb,
Merely to give successors room ?
If He regards our action here,
Why uot revenge tho oppressed’s tear!
And crush the crdel and unjust,
With pride and malice iu the dust?
These thoughts an anxious doubt create,
That this is not our final state.
If there’s then who can tell,
There may be heaven, there may bo hull,
Thu Bible doctrine may be right—
If so I sink to endless night.
I hate that God which fliey declare,
llis holiness is too severe ; 9
I hate His law, which says I must
Be holy like Him, or be curs'd.
Once I could laugh at what I feel,
And scorn the thought of heaven and hell,
But reason shines as clear gs day,
Alt ho'’ my outward man do Jay ;
Yea, it may shine and never stop,
And misery fill my future cup.
Draw near, my friend—if friend indeed,
You will assist mo now in need;
With you I spent the jovial day,
Ami east the thought of death away ;
I spurned at God, and Christ, and hell,
As imme:£that priest and womau tell ;
I gave the rein to sin and lust,
Which hastened my return to dust.
0, can you screen my soul from harm
Against the power of any arm ?
Ah ! wretches, stop—deceive no more;
I’ve heard all you can say before.

And trampled on the Saviour’s blood.
With him I now no part can claim,
For still I hate the very name. #
Yet he must be nure safe than I,
Better prepared to live or die;
If I were right, still he is well,
If he is right—l sink to hell. •

The undersigned have the appointment of

■kino Mr the -;iif or nuafio from -Jarvis it
Bilker’s Island, in the Pacific Ocean, for the
►States of Florida, Alabama, and Tennessee,
hereby caution purchasers against buying
front all other persons—as there are as many
as three spurious cargoes offered in the nmr
kfils which were not imported by said com
pany, and were taken before any chemist
bad arrived on the Island to make selection.
Mr. 1). 11. \\ ilcox, of Augusta, has a cargo
not imported by said company, anti as he re
fuses to inform us from whence he received
it, it is prsumable that it is one of the cargoes
rlluded to. Others may lie offering the whole
or partsof the other cargoes referred to. But
purchasers will do well to buy from us, or
our agents, the genuine article, selected on
the Island by competent chemists. We are
selling a large cargo recently landed at .Sa
vannah, direct front th*> I-Inna, which was
ottrefulTy selected and shipped by a compe
tent chemist, sent out for the purpose of ana
lyzing it before shipment.
Seventeen samples of Guano from the
Island, forwarded by Com. Charles 11. Davis,
to the U. S. Government, were analyzed by
order of Mr. Touccy, Secretary of the Navy,
under direction of Professor Henry of the
Smithsonian Institute at Washington, which
averaged over 71) per eent. of Bone Phos

JARVIS AND BAKER'S ISLAND
GUANO
Imported from the South Pacific Ocean,
* BY THE
AMERICAN GtJANO Cos., N. Y.
THIS GUANO, far superior to any other Ferti
lizer known, and of permanent value to the
soil, is sold at THIRTY PER CENT LESS than
Peruvian Guano. Its peculiar .natural combina
tion of the Phosphates und Sulphates of Lime,
enables it to restore to the soil the properties lost
by constant cropping, and tho planter will be en
abled not merely to reap from its use a present
crop, but find his land at the end of the season,
healthier aud stronger, requiring u less amount of
Guano for the next planting.
This Guano feeds, but does not stimulate to ex
cess. the roots of plants, and they are thereby en
abled to withstand the effects of drouth to a great
er degree than by the use of any other Fertilizer
known. The universal objection to the use of Pe
ruvian Guano, from its fatal results during a dry
season, is obviated by the use of the American
Guano.
The application of this Guano, 75t0 100 pounds
per acre will insure wonderful crops of cotton,
corn, wheat, rye, tobacco, vegetables, Ac.

‘‘My Manipulated Guano having become the
accepted and successful rival of Peruvian Guano,
I trust I shall be pardoned for putting upon public
record what is so universally known in Baltimore,
that I am solely and exclusively the originator of
this article by the use of Machinery.”— American
Farmer , 1857.
We sold this valuable Fertilizer last season upon
well authenticated reports, received from other
Stotes, and, so far as we can learn, the experiment
; has been eminently successful. The sales* in our
j State show an increase of over 500 per cent, on
; salesMf previous years—au increase unprecedent
! ed in the sale of Fertilizers, which we think strong
|. evidence of the groat value, of this Guano, con,
the elements necessary for the growth Os
improvement of laud/Su rational propor
tions. It cannot fail to render Satisfaction as long
as the Article is kept up to its present standard*
Asa guarantee for this, we can fully vouch, having
ascertained thoroughly the character and standing
of Mr. John Kettlewell, of Baltimore, the proprie
tor of this article, of which we have additional as
surance by a letter of Hon. HoWcll Cobb, in which
he says he is a personal friend of Mr. Kettlewell,
of many years standing; and that he can com
mend him in every respect as a gentleman worthy
of regard and confidence. On Cotton, Corn, Oats,
Wheat, Root crops, Ac., it has produced great re
sults—increasing the product to a very great ex
tent. This manure is not a manufactured pre
paration, liable to changes from one season to an
: other; but, as will bo perceived from the heading
• of this advertisement, is imported Guaho of cboico
i kinds, and has decided advantages over the Peru
j viau Guano. First, in price; second, in contain
ing double the Phosphate of Lime—tho element
to make crop and improve laud, with an abund
ance of Ammonia; and thirdly, the fine and dry
condition—making it ready for u§e.
Mr. Kettlewell’s enfcjpxi-*^ *** 80 successful
that m£| His.- I'll I 111 are now forced upon the
mere mixtures of doubtful Guano,
hand and shovel, claiming to be Manipulated
Guano; other Guano with but little Phosphate of
Lime, and no Ammonia. Aud we think it would
be well for planters to use proper discrimination.
Certificates regarding the use of this Guano, from
prominent planters of our Stute, could be added;
but we deem it entirely unnecessary, referring to
pamphlets on hand and in circulation, for further
information, and to letters at our office.
As the harbor of Baltimore is frequently closed

Warren Covnty, Feb. 17th, 1860.
On or about the middle of January, my wife
Martha A. E. Wheeler, eloped with Marshall E.
Latimer, of Hancock county, who left a family in
Hancock. iShe left me without assigning any
reason. I caution the puhlio against permitting
her to contract auy accounts on my credit, and
hope that their living together will be understood.
They left together near Lafayette, Chambers Cos.,
Alabama, where she was on a visit to ijer relatives.
When last heard of they wero in Mobile, likely
going ‘Vest. 1 hopo that the press generally will
pass them around. B. M. WHEELER.
