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. Pro noxo publico.

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 starvation. Aife Tljffc DYING INFIDEL. ‘ What shall Ibo ? Where shall Igo ?

The undersigned have the appointment of thd American Guano Company, as their sole ■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 phate of Lime, and over 10 per cent of Am monia. The result of its use in 1859, by James Gardner, Esq., editor of the Constitutionalist, and by Frank Hampton, of Woodland, S. C., on cotton lands, leave no doubt that it is the best and cheapest of all Fertilizers offered in the market, and that Cotton Planters cannot compete with their neighbors without tho use of it.

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.
