The snbject is of vast importance to the direct prosperity of our agriculturists; one that shouldtengage the serious attention of every farmer and land owner in the south. I am satisfied that it is an easy task to prove that if it were not for the great leak or loss of plant-food carried off in the surface ran ning water and that sustained by it leaking through the soil, that Georgia farms wonld be richer to-day than they ever were, for be it remembered that lint cotton is the main product exported ont of the limits of onr state. Take for instance the analysis of one thousand pounds of tint cotton and its money value, and compare with tho9a of any product of the farm, and see what is the dif ference in their valne. For instance, take a thousand pounds of either corn, oats, wheat, barley or any of the varieties of hay or for age, and see the number of pounds of plant- food; namely, so many pounds of potash, phosphoric acid or nitrogen contained in one tnoueand pounds ot each,and compare them with those contained iuonethousand pounds of lint cotton containing: Fotaab, 3'A lbs.; phosphoric acid, nearly ITf lbs ; nitrogen,- 0X lbs???worth from sixty to one hundred dollars. One thousand pounds of wheat con taining potash, 8 pounds; phosphoric aoid, 4 pounds; nitrogen, 7 pounds???worth from six teen to twenty-five dollars. This is about a fair average of the comparative amount of plant food contained in all those substances and values of, compared with a thousand pounds of list cotton. So you can easily dis cover that it is not so much the amount of those valuable elements of plant-food con tained in on;- lint cotton that is carried off In the exportations of our cotton crops; for I feel site in saying that the elements of plant- food contained In the meat, corn, whtat, oats, hay, cheese and various other articles of food for both men and beast, shipped into -BBr state from tho west, is far more than tvo bSVpori out of It in our cotton crops, to say ??? fl-t,.f -'to tno-.-s .gd->f ipe- of cat Cial fi-rilliz is uppne-l annually to our ??oH Yet, ns a rule, not only Georgia farms, bnt may say southern farms, are becoming poorer every year. And I again assert, without the fear of suoceesfnl contradiction, that the trouble lies In the aurface washing and leak ing of our soil. The late Ur Furman in his famous address before the Georgia slate agricultural conven tion, in demonstrating that in order to im prove our soils, that we must restore annually more plant-food to onr fields then our crops will take np, ho made use of the following words: ???The scientific trouble if gone, but the mechanical difficulty remains. Shall I say what it is? Do you not all recognise It? It is the fearful loss of the top soil with its valuable elements of fertility, mused by our tropical raina and the shallow system of cul ture to which we are driven In the cultiva tion of our standard crops, corn and cotton." This subject claimed my attention at an early age, and for quite a number of years did! try exoerimentafter experiment, My aim was to fiud a plan by which I conlu con vey off the surplus water without carrying oflr the soil, and I claim that, after muDy fail ures, to have discovered the true principles of constructing drains so as to carry off the surplus water comparatively pure, without carryinguff thesull. My system is far supe rior to any tldrg in the way of ditching or terracing that 1 nave ever seen. I have written a book eutitieu: ???The pres- ervation and protection of cultivated lands from surface washing; systematizing or rota tions of crops best suited to our climate and gradual improvement of our sill; hints on tbe manufacture and use of drain tile."

If humanity dors not lead to care in preven tion and cure, interest will prompt it, tor certainly a hone wlthsonnd shoulders will do more work than if these be swollen and lacer ated. Prevention is better than cure. The first point is to secure good, well fitting col lars, those of soft leather, of equal hardness on both sides. Many collars are stuffed more solidly on one side than on the other, and abonld be rejected. The horse should be fit ted to a collar at the shop, as two very aeldom have shoulders exactly alike. I have often wondered that farmers do not have collars mede especially for rach bone. The cost wonld be atopy repaid, as it is slight com par ed with the increa-edeersice that w mid thus be secured. I prefer a collar stuffed with hair. The learner should be kept well oiled, especially wbere meeting tbe shoulder. Pure neat's foot oil makes tbe leather soft and pli able, and is a good preventive and cure for ???ore shoulders. Cloth collars are now made, and clo'b pads to cover the entire collar face. I know that i bey are good and recommend them to other farmers. Early in the spring, at lcaat two weeks before plowingcommencei, begin bathing the shoulders ot each work horse with strong salt brine. I keep in tbe ???tails an old fruit can, and a rag tied to tbe end of a cob; and it takes but a moment to throw in a handful of salt with some water, stir it up and apply tbe briar It tonghens and hardens tbe skin and cools it, ailayiog Inflammation. Ido this each evening; after work begins I first wasbofftbeshoulders with dean wa'er. I have never been troubled with sore sbonldera since Iffiave uken to care fully selecting collars, keeping them soft , water. The best cure for sore Bhouldcra is . rest, and this may bo secured without stnp- dtng work, by removing tho pressure from tbelrritatedspot. One method is to cut a long, nerrow slit in the barns groove opposite tbe soreness, remove part of the stuffing and make a little depresilon by pounding the face over tbe sore. The slit will not injure the collar. Another method is to use pads above and below tbe tender spot to keep off tbe pressure. After considerable experience I consider the best pad eue made by stuffiing a coat sleeve with hay, about one inch thick between tbe collar and shoulder, but thinner where it passes under the harms. Hay works Into lumps less then regs, hair or wool, and is elastio enough sospriug tbe collar from the shoulders when the draft slacken, giving them opportunity to cool and rest.???J. M. S. in American Agriculturist. Pbij'Abation ron Corn.???When the season for corn opens it is the signal for a busy time in every department of the farm as other matters must be cleared up in or.Iar to get iu tbe crop that rtquirea an early start and a favorable season. In some sections it is tbe custom to use a fertilizer in tbe hills of corn as a stimulant, but such a practice is not necessary if the soills rich andin good com ditioa. The first thing to be done is to pre pare the soil, which means iometbing more then plowiug it, and then patting in the ssed. If the soil is light end somewhat sandy, a single thorough plowing will suffice, bnt if it is heavy, the land should not only be plowed bnt broken up by passing tbe cultiva tor over the field once or twice. Corn is a plant that feeds near tbe surface but sends down a tap root for moisture lo quite a con siderable distance. This tendency of corn to keep near the surface enables it to quickly appropriate any nutritive matter that may be afforded it, but if the soil is poor and lightly plowed, the roots will feed throughout that portion of tbe soil which contains the greater proportion of those elements that are neces sary for tbe growth and maturity of tbe crop, and tbe rootlets will alto be sent upwards to the surface, in order to procure moisture from the condensation of that which is deposited at night aud when tbe atmosphere is very hu mid. it is apparent, therefore, that the finer the condition of the soil the easier the facilities allowed tbe plants for feeding, and the greater tbe feeding room the greater the quantiry of roots, which are essential during times of drought and lack of moisture, to say nothing of the vigorous growth and rapid progress of tho corn by reason of its greater rootsurface. Many controversies regarding deep and shallow plowlBg wonld perhaps tlna an amicable solution if the nature of tho soil and method of plowing were con sidered in exact relation to etch other. Same farmers have found deep plowing highly ad vantageous, especially on clayey soils, simply because the roots wore permitted to eearen through a large quantity of soil for food, and also to more ca.ily procure moisture from be low as well as through absorption of moisture by the toil. Other farmers have found shal low plowing more preferable, especially on light soils, which resists in tbe establishment of a greater mass of roots near tho eurlaco, while tbe porosity of the soil and its light uature enables the corn to go downward os easily es msy be desired. Wlille it rusy be admitted that corn thrives well on nearly all kinds of soil, the difficulty is that wh do mot know what the seasons may be. Tbe main object should be to give it an early start end push it forward iu the begin ning, for then it will better endure the drought, and mature before the frost can catch it. In order >o do so, prepare the eoll thoroughly in the beginning, have it fine, cultivate often and well, and allow no grass or weeds to occupy too field for even a day. Keep the cultivator in motion and the corn growing. Points AdoutRaisino Tobkkys ???The ono thiog that has paid the last year la '.nrkeya.

And this price Is not exceptional. Tbe average for good New England turkeys for the last twoniy years, I believe, will exceed 18 cents a pound, if it does not reach 20 cents. If a farmer has reasonable ???luck??????that is, if he lies es good luok as generally comae of intelligent cere???ba can make 1,000 pounds of turkey meat for $100 easy, and sell the same for $200, or, putting it better; A Sock of 100 will not cost him in grain fed ont over $73, if they are killed before Thanksgiving, and liny, ought to average twelve pounds eaoh, which makes 1 200 pounds In all, and to sell for 20 cents a pound, or $240. ??? I have raised turkeys for many years, most years with fair success, and, whatever the success, they have always been the best paying prodnstiou of tho farm. This is my plan: Keep over ten hens aud n tom; the hens the beat birds in the fall flack, part old and part young. Old hone of good habits are to be preferred. Feed lightly all wlnler. About March 1st increaso the feed aud provide places for their nests near the house When they begin to lay be care ful that the eggs do not get chilled. Do all you can to get your turkeys toaetttngas etrly as possible. Early turkeys are twice as likely to live as late ones. When the yonng come off put them in little board pens in a warn place for a week or more, feeding them six or eight tirats a day with coarse and chopped hard boiled eggs mixed with water, or,' what is bitter, sour milk. As soon as they are strong enough give them a pasture range at first, then turn them into a meadow, but by all mesne feed them at noon, and to this end drive them up to tbe home. This will get them accustomed to coming up for their din ner, and so they will not go ftr away from home. Bee that they are always fully fed tod softly housed at ulgbt, so that foxes and skunks will not and cannot destroy them. Make U a matter ot thought to see mat jour turkeys aiesafe all summer. Begin to fatten in September and kill for Thanksgiving, aud you will be able to put a few doliare iu sumo near savings bank which you may honestly call pay for your care end work aud profit in tbe grain fed. This baslasas cannot oe over done, and I advise farmers to put a few dil ute into turkeys for next season (if they can find them) at once.???Farm and Home. nnd some who keep only one cow devote small space to it for that purpose, es it can be pulled up by the roots, the bed cleaned, and tbe grass appear luxuriantly again. Oats alone answer well, and the tops of all kinds of vegetables may be used advantageously, Quinci CultUb*.???The quince is a gross feeuer, as It indicated by the multitude of its fibrous roots in terlaciug and grasping every portion of the soil in its vicinity. It delights in hollows that have received tbe washot fer tilising matters from higher grounds, nature's pockets, that have been storing up fertility for ages; aud from this fact came the mista ken idea that the quince should be set in low, wet plaaes, and It is often planted where water stands the greater part of the year. In such situations no fruit will thrive. I have had as good success with quinces, set in up land that is quite dry, but iu good condition ot fertility, as with those aet lu moist, heavy soil, each receiving the same treatment. This fact has caused remark from many visitors. Tho injury done the quince by over-fertiliz ing is greater thou is liable to occur to almost any other fruit tree, as in very rich soil, or when abundantly supplied with stimulating manures, its growth la excessive, lo the ex- cluaiou of fruit spurs, and tberanksucculent growth continuing until the approach of winter, must receive injury from freezing, producing blight the ensuing season. In rich soils cultivation should cease after July, and any shoots of excessive growth should be pinched. A moderate quantity of fertilizer, annually supplied to soil of fair condition, ia all that isrequired. Leaf mould, muck, sods, mud from ponds, form a safe and lasting dressing for the quiuce. It need not necessarily ba incorporated with the soil, for when placed about the stems, new roots will be sent out to forage throughout tbe mass. An orchard so treated will lung continue in health and productiveness. When propa gated by cuttings, strong shoots of the cur rent year's growth are cut in the fail to oue foot la length, having a bud close to the base, and the whole space between bade left on above tho top bud. Bury in bundles below Eably Gbzbn Food fob Cows ???When cows are soiled, or when only a single cow is kept in a small enclosure, one of tbe greatest diffi culties is to procure green food at this season of the year. Aa epriug comes on the trouble increases, owingto the winter consumption of roots and ensilage, and as a email proportion of green food is necessary for tbe proper diet of the cow, her health ia Improved, her diges tion assisted, and beriyattut purified and in vigorated by the change from dry to partial green food. Eusilage answers well in winter, as it known, bnt there is nothing like the fresh, sweet growing vegetation that comes up early ia tbseeieon, and which it so highly relished by all classes of stock. It is not an easy matter for one who has no pasture to supply a cow with green food unless it it grown in small patchea especially for her use. And just what to grow, and bow much, Isa r iroblem also, for it is not in season for sow- ng rye, and clover will not come in et all from this seiaon???s sowing until very lato. If a sow ia liberally fed she will do well with a ???mall allowance of green food? It Is not ne cessary to feed her a fu.l meal of an b, as it may be more iejurione than beneficial.

Raising Melons ???A common cause of fell, are with this crop, is the lack of sufficient manure. One puts a shovelful of manure under tbe seod, without care for the rest of the ground where tbe roots are lo penetrate and seek most of their food. The melons are gross feeders, and require much water to sup ply the abundant juices snd large evapora tion from their extensive leaf - surface, while the northern season is none too long for them. They grow with great rapidity in hot weather, and tbe most must be made of the summer months, by supplying them with ail tbe food they can appropriate; it should be broad-cast ed with plenty of well-rotted stable manure, and plowed as long before planting as pos slble, that it may be well diffused through the soil. Early in August we visited a garden where the melon.patch, about a quarter acre, had received twelve cart loads of manure, of about a half cord each. The melons appar ently never suspected they were not growing in the tropics. Another trouble with many farmers is indifference to good seed. A melon is a melon with them, whether It is scrub or a thoroughbred that has lisd gardoer's care aud been raised from selected 'rnits for a dozen years. There is as much difference in melons as in other products of the garden. The old fashioned muskmelon, that was popular fifty years ago, is hardly worth raising. A well grown ???Nntmeg," or ???Cassaba,??? or ???Black Spanish" watermelon la a feastof fat things that lingers in memory. Like begets like in the melon patch. Fight ing bags, giving room for the spread of vines, thinning the plants to two in a bill, and fre- quentl cultivation are other important points ' this husbandry.

TheDantte leader now beckoned our party to move on, bidding us leave our heaviest log-chain behind. Tbe |horcenien merely glanced at each other. They knew what woe to be done, and swung into the saddle as one man. No Cromwnll ever had troopers obedient as were these ignorant and desper ate followers of the false religion in America. If you who have this question to settle, sooner or later, will only stop lo consider n moment, you will observe that ail such monstrosities that poor humau nature lias brought forth ou the earth have two elements for their establishment: one, the fa her of them, a learned man, a superficially learned man, a ???crank;" and Ihe other element, a deusely ignorant rases of mankind to low his doc trines among, to mature and maintain them when they take root. And these two ele ments are never wanting in recruits. Thoy uever will ba while ignorance is so general upon the earth. Of course you cannot de stroy tbe leaders, the ???orsnka," men crazy over their books aud about religion. But you can utterly destroy their following. Plough up the field, cultivate it, nnd the tares will perish in time. This is the remedy. Culti vation, Intelligence, education, nesociation with others, have already done much, broken off the hard corners of this rook in the sea. But let ignorance prevail there e* it did thirty years ago, and you will see renewed ell the ferocity, cruelly, and crime in the name of tbe new religion which wc knew then. Destroy these people by war I No, you can not destroy them by war, even though you pour lo a million of men with guns end all the treasure of this universe. You might kill them every one and confiscate their homes. And yet in Europe???anywhere, everywhere where there is ignorance to fol low and fanaticism to lead???you might eee a Mormon churoh. Our train moved on. The horsemen gal loped alongside fora little way after having had somesllent orders from their giant and iron-hearted leader. Then they rede back. Then they galloped up tbe hill alongside again, and so remained until we had reached the top of the steep hill. Here we wore ordered to atop and wait, till we were per mitted again to move on. No oue bad spoken to the girl to say good- by. Hope had been kindled in .her heart. She had even taken a step forward to (all in with the moviDg train and follow us os we started. A heavy hand fell on her shoulder. She lifted her eyes to the missionary's, let them fall, and stopped as stilt os tbe dead, When wo turned about to the full white moonlight on the hill, and looked after the horsemen while they daelied down tile hill lo a cloud ot dust, *e could eeo but dimly. But a man who professed to see clearly, said the giant was leading the girl down toward his own camp, and the ugly coffin hiding away there iu the shadows. One of the horsemen redo down to the mouth of the little stream where It fell into the lake, and drew a boat that was hidden there up into a little cove formed by the Outers of the break. We could not atto the girl now. What war being done? As said before, we could see but indistinct- li-ttow. By and by seme ono saw tha mon f,trout giant open more pushing his long black box before him down toward the lake, and pointed out the dark object to others. The horsemen rode some distance leisurely be Ind, with their hats in their hands. The girl still coaid not bteeen. At length a dreadful suspicion crept over us, and a cry burst front one of tho women. She wrung her hands and cried hysterically that the girl was In the coOla and they were going to bury her in the lake. The woman was silenced with effort, nnu all stood still as death, watting, waiting. The tnoon seemea only a little way above in, only a little higher on the bill, and oh, so pale and pitiful and sorrowing she seemed I 'The far white mountains of snow shone like stiver in this whitest aud brightest of silver moons this side of Arabia. Why were wo oorapelled to stand hero and no all this? Surely they meant to murder this girl and make us witness it, in order to spread terror and the fear of their power to "Judge??? and to ex ecute Jadgment through tbe laud. Here wm a muider to wbiclt the murderers demanded witnesses and compelled tbe presonce of wit nesses. But still, aa I said before, wo could see but dimly. The moon was sinking fast bow. How slow and deliberate they were I Tre barrow evidently had a heavier load than ever before. Tbe heavy chain aud tbechain- ed girlVI It moved heavily, eluwly, through the great white girdle ol gleaming aalt; slow ly and sadly, like a funeral march. At last it reached tbe edge ot the dark waters. All was Mill, as silent death. It seemed that Borne *ne of these men???two of them, three of them, all of them??? rauet dii- obey thle giant aud monitor, kill him if necee- eery, and save title beautiful girl. Even if they bad no eenee of chivalry or virtna or valor In them to help tbe helpless, it did seem aa if some one, any one, all, might do almost anything re proteot her, rave her. Two men code np, dismounted, held their horres by the long tethers as they stood there fretful nnd knee deep In the glesmlng girdle ???o hastily lifted tbe long black long strong back, surged to and fro in tho fall ing silvery moonlight, and then with vehe ment force threw it forward into tho depths of the dark water with all the tremendous power that was in him. The waters dashed np, gloaming like a sun rise, closed over, and all was still again in the heart of the great dark waters of death. A band was lifted to ns. from tbe nearest horseman, and we pasted on over tbe hill right in the fate of the great round moon now eet'l-ng down to rest in tbe for off 8ierros, and I never saw the place again for twenty years or more. Ana when I did retnrn I came from Lon don to write np the trial of Brigham Yonng, who wai then being tried for his life for com plicity in murders like this. By good fortune I fonnd an old friend of mine wns then governor of the territory. We searched this spot for the skeletons; bnt, ns before observed, the lake had eo filled that, while we fonnd the burled rock and little island, we found nothing more. ??? I told h Mormon elder this story, and he earnestly tu-sured me that all we had seen of the end wns the mirage???a delusion; that the missionary did not drown tbe girl, but lied taken this course to save her from tbe Danltes; that be had left the girl in the wii- lows, to fall in witli the next train that came by, white he had thrown only his hag of breed or something of that sort with tbe chain about it into the black waters of tho great lake. Let us hope so at least. -I'opyrlchteil by ft of salt, and coffin into tbe host. Tbe giant solemnly and silently took bis place at the oar aud began to move slowly auti certainly toward tbe dark and deeo.ate rock in the Jeeps of tbe lake. The horsemen remounted, drew back, bate in hand, anil so k it with the others looking out at the colossal and silent boatman with hla singular freight. .Wes he rowing to reach this rock where tbe corpse had been eee load ed down in tbe water with chains? Wonld he not go on, on, on. anywhere, and escape these brutal aad blind followers, who believe him a saint engaged in maintaining the chnrcb of Jeans Christ?
