Agricultural. (Communicated.] Dk. Cari.ton : —As I have not re ceived a “Banner for one month I cannot answer the queries of a “Sub scriber” only a« remembered by a neighbor. The Hughes Riding Plow is manufactured ia St Louis, Mo., lrat Long, Allstatter A Co., of Ham ilton, Ohio, have the right of sale for Ga. Tho plow is much more than the maker, Mr. Hughes, claims for it. I have now used it upon every varie ty of soil found in Habersham coun ty. On Savannah loam, sandy, mu latto and red clay, rocky or rather gravelly clay, and what the Virgin ians call chinquepin land, and in a 20 acre orchard. In each and all I did better plowing than I ever saw done. Every farmer and many from every section of the county have witnessed the plow at work and every one un qualifiedly pronounced it the best ever seen. Capt. W., who is noted for thorough preparation, good teams and good tools, told me a day or two ago that land which he ploughed twice was not halt so well prepared aa mine. E. II. McAfee, the most energetic and successful farmer in the county, alter ploughing a few rounds said to me: “Dr., if I had time I would walk after your plow all day jU6t to see it turn, it does it so beau tifully. I ploughed a ten acre lot wbieh averaged 33 1-3 bushels shelled corn per acre, anjd no one can tell the land was in corn, and the cultiva tor tells me he has found no trouble in laying oft’ and covering the corn with a plow, the stalks being cut up by the coulter and turned beneath the cut of the one-horse plow. From a memento of Fredericks- burg, I cannot now walk and plow ; therefore, since *C5 I have been watching for a plow that I wanted aud the first day I saw the advertise ment in the St. Louis Christian Ad vocate I wrote for the plow. It cost me $60, and 1 have saved fully that amount in two months, and I would not to-day take $250 and do without it two years. With it I am hide pendent. Can turn land when I wish, which was the great desidcr atura with me. With a reaper, a mower, and the riding plow the Georgia farmer should live easy and make money. But I shall buy a sulky cultivator as soon as I can find one, which I think will pay. We do not want emigrants to cultivate our lands, but improved implements, tools with which we can make light yields pay a profit. I have kept a farm account for 27 years with the exception of’61 to ’65, my corn in ante bellum years averaged 20 cents per bushel, since ’65, 35 cents. ' But hence I think it will be less than 20 cents. If our farmers would sow oats in August, wheat and rye early in September, plant corn from 20th March to 10th April we would -succeed. Twenty years ago I commenced sowing oats in July and A - Have sold seed oats every year, sometimes hauled to Athens, not one •of my immediate neighbors follew -suit and each of them bad to buy •every year seed oats. It is strange but true, two other neighbors sowed when I did and sold seed oats, but now only one sowed last fall, E. H McAfee and he has 25 acres which will -average-40 to 50 bushels per acre. A “dry milch cow” is something have never had—because I sow small grain and have pasture. Jab. P. Phillips. from the stabler. Block estimates that 100 pounds of hay furnishes 172 pouuds of fresh dung; 100 pounds oats give-204 pounds, and 100 pounds of grass gave 43 pounds of fresh dung. Morton estimates that a horse furnishes annually 12,000 pounds of solid excrement and 3,000 pounds of urine. In Boussingault’s experiment about 17 pounds of hay and 5 pounds of oats furnishes 35,4 pounds of fresh excrement.

Thess horses were fed with oats, cornmeal and cut hay in nearly equal proportions. Accep ting the*calculations of Boussingault and Johnson, and putting them to gether for the sake of an estimate, and reckoning that two-thirds of the droppings arc saved—we have 10,000 pounds as the annual amount of ma nure from a horse, containing 53 pounds of nitrogen. The nitrogen of | stable manure is worth about 15 cent9 per pound ; which gives a value to the nitrogen of $7.95. may 21.ly.187S. JO FOREST CITY An!

It cures Headache in twenty minutes, and there is no question but what it is the most wonderful discovery made in medical science.
