The Law of Manures.
We notice that the question— Do Manures Ascend
•Descend.’ has lately been considerably discussed
; tour ovn n part we should no more think of asking
. discussing such a question, than we should whether
mature ascends or descends ! it obviously does both :
si so it is with manures, unless the terms manures
gw be restricted to mineral substances only,
lint though we believe that the valuable parts of tna
aaresmay be both carried into the air and washed into
at earth, we dopiot admit the propriety of some posi-*
M3, by which the fact i3 attempted to be illustrate and
i r nist.nee, it is said—“ the gases of manure ascend
m; the salts descend.” The fact is here lost sight ol>
rat the same substances are capable under different
rcjjnstances, of assuming both a gaseofls and solid
fern.—Such is the case with carbon—which constitutes
„ -atest part of ordinary manures, ns well as vege
• substances ; and also with nitrogen, which has
iNierly been held by chemists, (and is. indeed, still
.-.edby many chemists,) as the most valuable and im
portant element in manures.
I; a heap of manure is left to ferment on the surface of
„eearth, or without being covered by some substance,
sbulk and weight are greatly reduced. What has
oecome of the lost portion ? It has ol course, gone
i ‘to lhea;r,as it would have done, if the manure had
‘ecu acted on by tire. The manure or a certa in por
.01! ol it, has been resolved into its original elements
id the carbon and nitrogen it contained have again be
come parts of the atmosphere.
I The nitrogen in manure is in the form of ammonia,
snd that it escapes during fermentation, has been prov- J
i; it is perceptible by the smell, and, has also by means ;
f acids been detected in its ascent. Most people are
wniltar with ammonia in the form of salt and know!
that in this way it is extremely volt,tile, and readily
isses into an aerilorin state. It is also easily soluble
in water; and, is, thereloie readily washed into the j
earth by rains. Thus the very substance which forms a
salt, may become a gas and ascend into the air ; or it
may become e. liquid and ascend into the earth.
Manures may be combined with substances which
“..i prevent the escape of ammonia ; such as charcoal,
charcoal dust fiom the pits,peat,muck,soil,and veg
erable or carbonaceous substances generally. If the
process of fermention is properly regulated, and the
mure is combined with articles which will absorb the
cases as they are disengaged there will be no waste. It
may be considered a rule, that whenever smell is emit
!by manures, some of their valuable properties are
ring dissipated ; hence thcM odors should not Le was
“on the desert air; they should he saved and con
verted into vegetable substances m which condition
tney are not only agreeable to the olfactories, but be
come substantial elements of animal nutrition.
As to the sinking of manures, there is positive evi
.'tice oi the fact. We have in many instances seen its
e! sto ‘he depth of several feet. Oil the farm of Mr.
• -e. near this city it was lately noticed, in d;g
----c. tv near where a compost heap had laid, tha [
11 tn tu til- depth of tiiree leet from the surface,
Ji it was ot quite a compact and clayey nature, was
■ impregnated witii the qualities of the manure that
: y were plainly perceptible. And the effects of ma
nure are always traceable to a greater or less depth,ill
proportion to the porousness ol the soil and the quantity
manure applied. It is Liebig's opinion that the so
luble parts of manures, “ phosphates, and other salts
“nil alkaline bases,” are drawn olfand wasted to a great
extent by percolatian.
The depth to which mutini es should be buried, is
Mother subject, which, in connexion with the question
whether they rise or fall has ben much discussed ; and
rome who belieAe that manures always ascend, have
arrived at the conclusion that they should be placed
rom •• a loot to eighteen inches under ground.”
” e do not suppose it is practicable to lay down any
Sied rule in regard ic the covering of manures. Some
- ml piinciples however, may form a guide. It is
evident that manures can only afford nutriment to plants
“iien they are in their soluble condition. In their ap
plication, therefore, the causes which produce solution
and decomposition should be regarded. These causes
are principally, heat, air and moisture ; though in eliin-
Vation and assimilation of food by plants, light and
eicctrtcity are evidently powerful agents. Most of these
Principles act with the greatest force near the suface.
In some cases, as in dressing grass-lands, we would
g pr-ad manures on the top ot the ground. But msuch
cases we would use a well rotted compost, in which the
animal manures had been combined with such substan
ces as would absorb the matters that during fermentation
ni! ht pass off. The reason why we would prefer, for
such a purpose, manure that has passed through the firs
decomposition in the manner mentioned, is,
at it would be more readily soluble, than in a fresher
i” l!e an d would be immediately available to the crop ;
‘'nue at the same time its fertilizing principles would
“solar combined and fixed, as not to be liable to
“aate.
Bat the practice of leaving manures entirely on the
‘ “ K “, is not, in many cases, the most judicious for the
■'.ng reasons: J. It it is applied in an unferment
-state, uncoriibined with absorbent substances, some
1 valuable properties might be lost during decora
| ‘tion. ‘2. \v |iji hoed crops, fresh or fibrous manures
1 tlle surface of the ground would be an obstacle
“-ie or less according to the quantity; to cultivation.

Wheat Growers.
J Wheat has acquired the first rank of all the cereal
~ I ' U!,S * m consequence of the nutritious q la lity and
luge q I unity ol gluten which it contains, Gluten is
’ V ,I SJI; elastic substance which remains when
w.ie.it >nr is wrapped in u coarse cloth and washed
under a Stream ot water, so as to carry off the starch
<tn.i soluble mattcis. ’’ This substance, in a state of
purity, is inodorous, insipid, tenacious, adhesive and
• I isiic. It separated Irotn the starclt and other matter,
ui I kept warm, it freely ferments. It is an essential
ingredient in ;i.i grains, and isalso found in numerous
i vegetables and I: iits. it isalso the essential pa 1 1 of
1 yeast, and resembles albumen so nearly, ti ct i isdif
i dcult to distitigirsh it from the substance. Fro i the
I hirge quantity oi nitrogen which it con tun s, it has
Oeen termed in c r-g -to-aninnl principle. A. cor ling
j to experiments made by the celebrated M. Manemlie
in tiie feeding of animals, it It is been proved that “g>-l
----! atin,fibrin, tmd albumen, when taken sing y, da not
p .-.-ess the power of sustaining life.” The reverse is
tbe ease, however, with gluten, upon which animals
; ihiive well an 1 long without otm r lootl.
Wego at length into tlti s scientific description ofths
component parts ot wherit, winch consists of triuten,
sturc.i, sutrar, I>r lll , rind water, so that our re~
ina, ks may !m* thoroughly comprehended. Starch is by
■ar iessnuiricions thin giiilen, and ah utuls in the pro
portion of about 6 to 1 of giiiten. Tits latter is then
the valuable nutritious matter in wheat, and from till
that has been developed by the ai l of science, it has
been clearly proven that gluten can be varied an i in
creased by emnate and tii • character of the fertilizers
used to promote the growth of the plant. These facts
have been well attested. l'he mere difference in eli
inaie upon a fair trial, and by analysis of the grain, has
resulted in the following satisfictory statement, in la
vor of t.ne warmest regions in which wheat is success
fully grown:
f Varm Climate.
Starch 56,05
Gluten, 14,55
Sugar, 8,48

Bran, 2,30

Let die reader look below* at the result of the analy
sis ot wheat grown in a cold climate, and compare the
great preponderance of starch with that of the former.
Also obsetve die large amount of gluten, sugar,contain

Bran i,oo
Water, 10,00
100,49
I hese statem tits fully show the great superiority of
our climate over our more not them regions for produc
ing tie most nutritious grain. The agiiculturist who
desiu-s to embark in the successful growing of wheat,
should not allow his inquiries to rest at this point ; for
that is only the advantage which nature has given him
in the superiority of the ingredients of this grain after it
is produced. The grand secret of successful produc
tion is the key which he must master. It is the busi
ness oj the Southern agriculturist to apply that science
to the culture of this gram which will enable him to
compete in the quantity produced, and by excelling in
quality thus make this branch of farming profitable
Here is the difficulty u,ion which experiments with
wheat have failed, for they dil not understand the com
parative value of fertilizers used to improve the quality
of the grain. Experiments have shown that the fol
lowing is the relative value ot fertilizing manures which
have been tried :
Wheat, average crop, gluten, 19.00
Received on soil manured with ox blood, 34.24
L)o dodo do human fa?ces, 33.94
Do do do do urine, 35,01
Do do do do horsemanure, 13.68
Do do do do cow do 11.06
Do do do do cottonseed, 18J6
i his statement is not entirely applicable to our sys
tem oi applying manures ; tor he increased quantity
ot gluten, both from the manure ol horses and cattle, is
much greater than is stated; for with us the urine of
these animals is invariably mingled with it, and in the
above this is not estimated. The manure of horses as
it is usually curried out from our southern farm yards
and stables, is capable of yielding an increase of gluten
ofat least 23 per cent, instead ot 13 63 p. c. as staled : n
the above table ; and is the best manure we can apply
in large quantities to our wheat crops It is more
warming in winter, and hence more beneficial than
; the manure of cattle, which is of a cold nature, and
suited to summer crops. Imparting stimulating nutri
ment to the young wheat plants, it gives them such a
healthy and vigorous start, that they readily appropri
i ate ail the food which is furnished to their organs, both
j by the manure and the soil, and the crop so provided is
j soon out of harm’s way.
It is our opinion, that by the aid of highly stimula
ting manures, we may be able in the south to grow as
many busheis ot wheat per acre as do the northern far
mers, with the great advantage over them, that in actu
al nutriment five bushels of our wheat will be equal in
value to six bushels of ordinary northern wheat The
wheat crop, in the best grain growing sections of South
| Carolina, is not subjected to more vicisitudes than in
. the north—for their crops are equally ravaged and
| blighted by Hessian fly, smut and rust. In tact, if we
I were to make the comparison, we would see that
; though they take great pains in cultivating this grain, it
: is far from being a certain crop, whilst the reverse is the
case with us ; lor, with little or no extra preparation of
the soil, it usually makes a fair remunerating crop.
; All these things plainly show the influence o 7 climate
j on this grain in inducing the production of great nu
: tritton, and also the eflect of artificial fertilizers of the
soil on this crop. At some other tune we tnay devote
our leisure to actual experiments, made with the view
to test the effects of both soil and manure on seed wheat
brought from the wheat growing region of New York
and planted by us in South Carolina. —Columbia South

“What do Wheat and Corn Eat?
We eat wheat and corn, said a little boy to his fath
er, but what does the wheat and corn eat ? At first we
thought this was a childish question indeed, but on a
little reflection we find it a wise question in a childish
form,and one that cannot, in the present state ol agri
cultural science, be so readily answered.
That the wheat and corn crop, like every other, must
be sustained by certain elements, is evident to all, but
what those elements are, in regard to corn at least,'has
not yet been .ascertained.
We have several times made an abstract of thp re
ports which different chemists have given of the analy
sis ot wheat, in their researches, in regard to the ingre
dients of this valuable grain. At the risk of usimra
repetition, though we hope not a vain repetition, we
shall again give some statements on the subject.
The Royal Agricultural Society, of England, hav
ing lunds sufficient tor the purpose, employed chemists
from time to time, to analyze crops, soils, manures, &,c’
&c.—Some time since they employed Mr. VVay, ati
eminent chemist, in this business. “The question sub
mitted to him, was, in substance, what inorganic ma
terial does an average crop of wheat take from the land?
Or, in the more simple language ofthe child, what does
the wheat eat l
Alter analyzing about fifty specimens, of different
sorts ol wheat, he found that what might be called an
average crop, took Irom the land the following: 84 lb s .
ot silica (flint;, 20 lbs. of phosphoric acid, 4 sos. of sul
phuric acid, 8 lbs. of potasn, 1* lb. of soda. These are
the inorganic substances : or, in other words, the mill
era! substances which the“ieAe< eats;’’ and as we eat
the wheat,these are the mineral matters which we eat
though they are so combined as to become palatable
loud, and not dust to our mouths.
Well,if this is what the wheat eats, it is important
that every field of wheat that we sow, should have
enough to eat.
The greater part of the above ingredients, you will
see, is flint, which gives to straw and the coat of the
grain, its peculiar gloss and durability. The phospho
ric acid and the alkalies are supplied by manures of dif
lereut kinds. Bone dust, tor instance, being made or
obtained by animals that eat grain or something that
contains it, will, if applied to the crop, supply iTagain
with phosphoric acid. Ashes will afford the potash
Piaster affords the lime—and the soil generally affords
the silica or flinty matter ; or it may be taken from the
ashes of plants.
But besides these mineral or inorganic matters, wheat
eats what are called organized substances, or such mat
ters as have been a part and parcel of some organized
being,either of the animal or vegeta b'e kingdom. The
principal of these are carbon (or charcoal) aini nitro
gen. These are obtained from animal or vegetable
substances applied as manure. These organic substan
ces, when the plant is burned, fly off into the air in the
form of smoke and gases.
What does the corn eat ? Here we are not able to
answer so definitely, because there lias not as yet been
so complete and thorough analysis made of Indian corn
as of wheat. We mean, of the stalk, leaves, roots,
husks, kernel, cob and nil. It is evident, however, that
it contains as many kinds of inorganic or mineral mat
ter as wheat, but the proportions must vary from them
essentially.
It isaiso evident that it contains a greater proportion
of organic matter than the wheat does Its body is lar
ger—stem larger and more tided with carbonaceous
matter—its leaves vastly larger—its roots more spread
ing and extensive, and the cob also containing much
carbonaceous and alkaline matter. Hence one reason
why it bears high manuring with animal matters, so
much better than wheat. Still, no accurate analysis
has yet been made, by which we are informed iiow
much it eats —or, in other words, what amount ol inor
ganic substances an tWerage crop of Indian corn takes
from the land.
If any of you ascertain soon, we should be happy to
htar from you. — Maine Fanner.

The Widow*
| A widow is a dangerous thing,
With soft, black, shining curls,
And looketh more bewitching
Than a host of romping girls:
He: laugh is so delicious—
So knowing, clear, be-ide,
You’d never dream her thinking
S*ion to become a bride.
Her dress, though made of sables,
Gives roundness to her form—
A touch of something thoughtful,
A witching, winning charm ;
And when she sits down by yon,
With quiet and easy grace—
A tear may fall unbidden.
Or a smile light up her face.
Her voice is soft—melodious—
And lute-like in its tone:
She sometimes sighs “tis dreadful,
To passthrough life alone.”
And then she’ll tell you, you remind her
Ol the lov’d one dead and gone ;
our step, your form, you features ;
Tiius the widow will run on.
Oh! listen, yet be careful,
For well she plays her part—
Her lips distil the nectar
That doth enslave the heart;
Be guarded, or she’ll w in you,
With sighs, and smiles, and tears ;
I faith she’ll wear the breeches too
And box your silly ears. Mobile Herald.

; Wistar’s ilalsnm ot Wild Cherry.
East Boston, May Sgd, 1847.
Mr. S. IF. Fowle —Sir: I have seen so much of the
virtue of ‘‘WistarV Balsam of Wild Cherry,” that I
feel it my duty to add my testimony in its praise. My
son, about 14 years ol age, has for the last ten months
been afflicted with a severe cough, pains in the side
and body, and a gradual wasting, until he was but a
mere living skeleton. I had had t o advice of tbtee
physicians, but none of them could give him any re
lief, and gradually, yet surely, lie seemed to be sink
■ng into the tomb. Having accidentally to see some of
your “Free Almanacs,” we felt as though the Balsam
would help him, and there were some cases that had
been cured when they were as bad as he was. ] there
fore procured a bottle of Dr. Kidder, the Agent in this
place, and beiore he had used all of it he began to grow
better, and by using three bottles Ins cough was all
gone, and he is now enjoying good health, for which
he is solely indebted, thr- inffl the blessing of God, to
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.
