MANUKES—DOHE8TIC A- FABEIUN
At the Annual Convention of the
South Carolina Agricultural and Me
chanical Society, held in Columbia in
November, 1670, Dr. J. H. Furman
read the following report. There is
probably no subject upon which the
farmers are more ignorant than on this
roost important one of fertilizers
Mr. President: Among <the many
questions engaging our attention, a
successful solution of which is deman
ded by the progressive spirit of the age,
there is perhaps, none of greater inter
est to us as an agricultural people,
than that involved in the fact, that
our once rich and virgin soil has been
robbed of much of its fertility, and
that it is anually taxed to an extent
which must, if not arrested, ultimately
result in exhaustion. This is a fact
which will apply, with a few excep
tions, to the length and breadth of the
land.
Travel over large portions of our
own, and of adjoining States, behold
field after field once covered with na
ture’s richest verdue, now barely pro
ducing a partial covering of dwarfed
pines and stunted broom-sedge, insuf
ficient to conceal the general aspect of
naked sterility. Witness the slow' but
steady decline in the average produc
tion of wheat in the New Kogland
States, and on the more favored farms
of the great North-western States,
where the yield has fallen from thirty
to fifteen and ten bushels to the acre—
many of those States originally expor
ters having now become importers of
grain from the virgin lands farther
west, till now the valleys of the
g^at Pacific slope are being looked to
for a supply of breadstuff's by many of
them. And this, too, in spite of the
the fact, that no people have directed
more successfully a highly inventive
genius to the discovery and perfec
tion of almost every variety of agri
cultural implement, and labor-saving
machine. The fault is not in a defi
ciency of mechanical appliances, or in
their use, but in indflerence to or igno
rance of the fact, that a due propor
tion of certain elements, organic and
inorganic, in a condition to be appro
priated by plants, must be present in
the soil, or the labor of the husband
man, however faithfully applied, will
ultimately give him a meagre return
—will prove but vanity and vexation
of spirit. For no system of tillage
however perfectly applied, can stay
the tendency to exhaustion where
there is iudifference to or ignorance of
the chemical requirements of the land ;
where manuring is neglected, or its
application is defective..
The importance of, nay, the necessi
ty for some mode of procedure by
which there shall be a return made of
the elements of fertility taken from
the land by cultivated plants, being
conceded a broad field for enquiry, in
vestigation, discussion and suggestion,
at once presents itself too extended for
anything more than a cursory survey
by your committee, whose report
must necessarily be brief, and can be
little more than suggestive.
The three elements, nitrogen, phos
phorus and potesh, and their combina
tions are of prime interest to the agri
culturist; and it is mainly on the
presence oi one or more of them in
various proportions and modes «f com
bination that the different and num
berless commercial fertilizers base
their claims to the consideration of the
purchaser, and it is to the ’predomi
nance of one or ;he other that its advo
cates ascribe the peculiar excellence ol
their favorite compound—either in
peculiarly favorable circumstances giv
ing results which would seem to place
it above the o hers ; which in their
turn give equal y flattering and seem
ingly contradictory results—thus cre
ating the conflict of opinion and seem
ing inconsistency of statement attend
ing their use—showing the danger of
assumptions based upon limited data,
and a too ready generalization. When
soil shows a marked deficiency of any
one element, the fertilizer containing
that element in excess, will give the
most marked results; and vies versa—
a deficiency in the fertilizer here
would ensure failure. Therefore, the
importance of a judicious system of
experimenting on the part of the plant
er, with a view to ascertaining not
only the general wants of his land,
but the requirements of each field that
he cultivates—a slight modification
resulting in the difference between
piofit and loss. Soil analysis is not
sufficient here—with its assistance, en
lightened and judicious experiment is
the true test. Failure, often ascribed
to deficiency in the material used, is
perhaps more frequently the result of
its lack of wise adaptation to the
wants of the soil and the demands of
the plants cultivated. Take Peruvian
Guano lor example—the most perfect,
perhaps, and generally applicable of
all known concentrated fertilizers:
we find that with a marked predomi
nance of ammonia, the great life-giver
and energizer of vegetation ; all the
other requirements of the plant are
combined in a greater or less degree;
and yet there are other special man
ures, of infinitely less general applica
bility, which upon some fields will
give larger returns, because they con
tain in excess the very one ingredient
in which those particular soils are
most deficient. Hence the tendency
with agriculturists to run into ex
tremes iu the advocacy of certain spe
cial manures, and the failures which
often follow their extended use.
The recent discovery of the vast de
posits of phosphatic material, created
by a munificent Providence, within
our own borders, has thus far proved a
benefaction to the agriculturist of the
State, only bo far as its introduction
may have lowered the general price of
that material—the planters of the
State deriving no advantage from it
agriculturally, which is not equally
shared by parties beyond her borders.
Converted into a superphosphate, its
value has been fully demonstrated,
and by the liberal addition of nitro
genous matter and potash, a most ex
cellent general fertilizer is formed.
The failure in many instances, attend
ing the use of the Carolina phosphates,
(being doubtless ascribuble to a defi
ciency of ammonia and potash, par
ticularly the latter, in the compounds
used. The planter should, as far as
practicable, manipulate his own man
ures; purchasing only of reliable par
ties, he should see that the manure
used upon each field is supplied in due
proportion with those ingredients
which the land needs; this being done
under his own personal supervision;
thus doing away with the necessity
tor middle-men and reserving to him
self the profits they would otherwise
absorb.
Iu the use of concentrated manures
upon our lands which have been long
cultivated, and therefore to a large
extent deprived of humus to obtain
the best results, as large an addi
tion of vegetable matter as possible
should be secured, consistent with the
judicious distribution of available la
bor. This may, to some extent, be
accomplished by resting and turning in
the vegetation which accumulates
upon the land, but which alone will
not furnish the amount of humus re
quired upon land much worn and not
capable of producing a full crop of
weeds. Here the compost heap, the
nearest accumulations of muck, and
the leaves of the forest must, as far as
possible, be made to contribute this
essential ingredient. The cultivation
and ploughing under of green crops is
of great importance, not only because
of the amount of humus thus secured
to the land, but “on the supposition
that ozone is emitted by plants, it is
plain that those crops which produce
the largest mass of loliage develop it
most abundantly,” and “ by the ac
tion of this ozone the nitrogen that
bathes the leaves being converted in
to nitric acid, which in its turn is ab
sorbed by the plant,” the burying of
the crop at that stage of its growth at
which it is most heavily freighted with
this invaluable constituent, must also
add its enriching properties to the soil
The plant best suited to these pur
poses is the cow pea, which’is a build
er up and sustainer of our over-taxed
land, has receiv ed but little of the at
tention it richly deserves.
One prime delect in our domestic
ammoniated humiferous manures con
sists in a lack of concentration from a
bad system of preparation and care
lessness in protecting them. General
ly when the compost is not made un
der shelter, the lot is too large in pro
portion to the number of animals en
closed, is frequently located on an in
dined surface, and only a thin coat
ing of straw ar.G leaves spread to re
ceive the droppings of the stock. In
stead of which a basin should be se
lected, the atea of the enclosure be
made as small as the comfort of the
stock will permit, a coat of straw and
leaves thrown in twelve or eighteen
inches thick at first, and gradually in
creased as the animals trampled down
and impact the mass, till it has attain
ed a depth of three or four feet. In
this way the loss by leaching and the
injurious action of the sun and winds
will be very much lessened, the mass
will be kept constantly moist, decom
position will go on regularly, injury
by overheating (fire fang) will be
avoi <^ed, aud if the cattle are well fed,
having fair pasturage, by spring there
will be an excellent compost ready for
use, far better than muck which is
prepared under shelter, at considerable
expense of time and labor.
It is to be feared that the present
year’s operation will show but little
profit to the planter on investments
made in comtnercial fertilizers. De
monstrating that with cotton below
fifteen cents it is only whece a general
system of close economy and good
management has been berried out, to
gether with a nice adaptation of the
means used to the end in view, that
anything like a remunerative return is
to be expected. It is, indeed, a ques
tion whether, upon the whole, the ex
tensive, slovenly, and unscientific use
of commercial manures has not been a
source of pecuniary loss to our people;
the excited hopes of the cultivator
leading to large investments, frequent
ly on credit; the attempted cultiva
tion of more land than could be done
justice to; the large aggregate pro
duction, and consequent lowering of
the price, while a large portion receiv
ed has to go to pay for fertilizers; all
tending to a disastrous issue, and point
ing to our true policy the narrowing
down of the area planted in cotton,
resting and rotation, cultivation and
ploughing in green crops, the faithful
saving and application of domestic
manures, and the cautious and discrim
inating resort to commercial fertilizers.

other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it does alwavs

Its composition. We have thousands upon thou
sands or certificates of their remarkable cures of the
following complaints, but such cures are known in
every neighborhood, and we need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates;
containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug,
they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable
no harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action — remove the obstructions of the
stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the
body, restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange

the laud where used. I used from 50 lbs. per acre up to 300 lbs. to the acre,
but found that 100 lbs per acre paid me best; with that amount there is no
danger fiom the drought. I used part in the drill and part upon the.seed
when planted, by rolling the seed in the Eureka. I used the Eureka upon
corn lrom 50 to 100 lbs. per acre; 50 lbs. made the best ear; the 100 lbs.
made the best stalk and fodder. I have used the Eureka upon turnips, melons,
ifcc., with good results. I expect to make use of the Eureka another season
upon all the land that I may plant. Yours truly, Wm. Barnes.

risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This “ CtruE ” expels
the miasmatic poison of Fever and Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first
approach of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral; consequently it pro
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
bad the disease.
Fever end Ague is not alone the con
sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, ntaeuma-
tlsos, Gout, Headache. Blindness,
Toothache, Earache. Catarrh. Asth-
Palpitation, Painful Affection
of the Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the
Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derange
ment of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittent typo, or become periodical. This
“Curb” expels the poison from the blood,
and consequently cures them all alike. It is
an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in
the malarious districts. If taken occasion
ally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure; and few
will ever suffer from Intermittents if they
avail themselves of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity,
and producing many truly remarkable cures,
Where other medicines fail.

and Refuse Liquors, doctoreb, spiced, and sweetened to
please the taste, called "Tonics,’’ “ Appetizers,” “Restor
ers," Ac.. that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and rain,
bat are a tree Medicine, made from the native roots and
herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimu
lants. They are the GREAT BLOOD Pl UIFIKR.
and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect
Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all
poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy condi
tion. No person can take these Bitters according to directions,
and remain long unwell, provided their hones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital or
gans wasted beyond the point of repair.
Tbeyare a Gentle Purgative a* well aaaTonle.
possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful
agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver,
and all the Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, whether in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at
the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no eqnal.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rhrumntlsm
and Goat, Dyspepsia, sr Indigestion, Billions,
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases ot
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,these Bit
ters have been most successful. Such Diseasea ara
caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced
by derangement of the Digestive Organa.
DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, Headache. Psin
In the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness,
Bour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Month,
Billions Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of
the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hun
dred other painful symptoms are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled efficacy
in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and imparting new
life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions, Tetter. Salt
Rheum, Blotches, Spots. Pimples, Pustules. Boils, Carbun
cles, Ring-worms. Scald Head, Sore Eyee, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurf*. Discolorations of the Skin. Hnmora, and Diseasea of
the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dng up
and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of
these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince ths
most incredulous of their curative effects.
CleRnse the Vitiated Blood whenever yon find its Impuri
ties bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or
Sores; cleanse it when yon find it obstructed and sluggish in
the veins; cleanse it whon it is foul, and yonr feelings will
tell yon when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of ths
system will follow.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system
of so many thoussnds.are effectually destroyed and removed.
Says a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an indi
vidual noon the face of the earth whose body Is exempt from
the presence of worms. It is not npon the healthy elements
of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors
and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of dis
ease. No system of Medicine, no vermifuges, no asthel-
mintiea, will free the system from worms like these Bitters.
