A HOLE IN THE POCKET.
A great many men have a hole in the pocket,
and so loee all* the little change they put in it
And the worst of it is they do not know it—if
they did they could mend up the hole, and so
put an end to the loss. Every day they are mi
nus a few dimes, and they wonder how they
come so short When bills are to be paid, they
cannot imagine how they come to be so short of
change. At the end of the year they are sur
prised to find so poor a footing up. They work
hard, rack their brains on plans, and still they
do not get ahead much. Bills accumulate, in
come diminishes, and still they do not discover
the Jiole in the pocket
One man has had fences, gates and bars. The
cattle break through every now and then and
destroy crops, and occupying time in driving
them out The pigs creep through the holes.
The horses get away. The boys and men and
servants and dogs are kept on the run alter ro
guish cows and jumping horses and climbing
hogs. The stock becomes uneasy and does not
thrive. The crops are injured. The fences are
broken down. Time is consumed. The trouble
is, that man has a hole in the pocket One man
has no sheds, nor barns, nor granaries, nor tool
houses. His grain is much injured and wasted.
The rats eat his com; and the damp weather
moulds it His potatoes rot His pumpkins are
destroyed. His apples do him but little good.
His tools are rotted and rusted in the open
weather. His stock is chilled and stunted for
want of shelter. His trouble is, a hole in his
pocket out of which slip all his profits, with
much of the fruits of his hard labor.
One man has poor plows, of the senile stamp
of his ancestors. He only skims the land with
it He can’t afford a modem plow. He don’t
beliove in subsoiling. Draining is the nonsense
of scientific fools. Drills are a humbug. Deep
plowing would spoil the land. So ho plows and
sows as his grandfather did, on the worn-out soil
of his venerable ancestors. He has a hole in his
pocket, and will have it till he wakes np to the
importance of good tools and good culture of
himself and soil.
One man don’t tako a paper; can't afford it;
has no time to read; don’t believe in book-farm
ing ; likes the old ways best; denies all the sto
ries he has heard from rumor, about large cattlo
and crops and profits; doesn't believe in new
notions. For forty years he has planted his
com on the same ground; sown wheat in the
same field; pastured tho same land. He has
heard of rotation of crops, but doesn't know what
it means, nor cares to know. A bad hole has
this man in his pocket
And who hasn't got a hole in the pocket. Read
er, havn’t you ? Look and see. Is there not
some way in which you let slip the dimes you
might better save; some way in which you
waste time and streugth and mind ? If so, then
you have a hole in your pocket Indeed, many
a man's pocket is like a sieve. Whose pocket is
a treasury, safe and sure?—[ Valley Fanner.
HEAD WORK Or FARMING.
It is surprising how much muscular labor is
wasted every year, which might be saved, or
better directed. This is true in all kinds of bus
iness, and not the least in farming. For instance;
how many farmers toil on, year after year, with
scanty or imperfect implements of husban
dry! The modern improvements, which save
much labor, and do the work cheaper and better,
they will have nothing to do with. Improved
varieties of seed, they hold to lie almost without
exception, humbugs. Draining and subsoil plow
ing are ranked in the same catalogue— they are
labor lost; but manuring coid, wet lands, and
plowing late in summer a sow inches deep, gath
ering scanty crops— this is not labor lost 1 Ro
tation of crops. and manuring lands with refer
ence to the grain or roots to be grown on them,
they consider something like book-farming—a
very dangerous thing.
We never could see why farmers should not
think for themselves, and be able to give a sat
isfactory reason for every process they under
take. Wo never could see why they should not
endeavor to improve in all farming operations—
to learn the very best way of doing everything,
. and then to do it so. It is told of a certain back
woods farmer, who had not yet found time to
clear the stumps from his fields, that his boys
complained bitterly of their troubles in plowing
and harrowing; the old fashioned ‘ drag ’ espe
cially troubled them by its frequent overturnings
while plunging among the stumps, and needing
to be set right side np at every few rods. ‘Boys!’
said the enraged fanner one day, ‘ take that har
row over to the blacksmith, and tell him to make
all the teeth twice their present length, and
sharp at both ends, and we'll see what that'll
do!’ The thing was done, the teeth now pointed
both ways, like those of a revolving rake. ‘Gee
up, Bill, now go along,’ ‘ But, father, it has up
set again, as bad as before.’ ‘ Never mind, boy:
go right ahead, it will work well either side up.
See, now, what conies from a little thinking.’
And sure enough it did work, and the field was
harrowed in spite, of the stumps. We- might
have selected a more dignified example ot the
use of head-work, but this homely story will an
swer our purpose.
In the matter of rotation of crops, there is need
of forethought and management. Some fanners
neglect to manure largely, because of its expen
siveness; they would like to underdrain more
extensively, and to subsoil plow their lands, if
these things did not cost more time, labor 'and
money than they think they can spare. But
it costs no more to follow a good system of rota
tion of crops than it does to carry on a farm
without any such plan. Yet such a system may
bring tho fanner three-fold greater and better
crops. Nor in devising suck a plan, has he got
to depend entirely on his own experience or sa
gacity. Books and agricultural journals are at
hand, containing the result of other men’s expe
rience, and all he has to do is to adapt such in
formation to the wants of his own case. A very
little head-work of this sort would pay well.
m in
Fruit and Fruit Trees.—Two of the best
farmers North communicate the manner in which
they secure good fruit. It is thus : They dig at
some distance from the body of some favorite
tree until they find a root, which they cut off.
The part disjointed from the tree is then turned
up so as to appear above the ground. It sends
forth shoots the first season, and bears, in a few
years, fruit precisely like that upon the parent
tree. Let those whose trees are decaying, or
who wish to increase good varieties, try this ex
periment. It is but an hour's work.

RHODEN’ SUPER-PHOSPHATE!
PLANTERS seeking Manures, will recollect that
Rhodes’ Super-phosphate is the only Manure the
late eminent Analytical Chemist, Prof BickeU, of Mary
land pronounced Standard! and which has been con
firmed by every section Into which this Manure has been
introduced.
This Manure is sold under a legal guarantee of Purity
and Freedom from all Adulteration, from the eminent
Manufacturing Chemists, Messrs. Potts A Klett, under
whose (icrsonal supervision Rhodes’ Supe-Phosphate is
manufactured. This Manure has been used in South
Carolina for several years past, with great success, in the
culture of Cotton and Corn, and is now thoroughly es
tablished for these inqiortant staples. Do not let the sea
son pass without the experiment
Read the annexed letters from gentlemen who have
tried it the past season.
J. A. ANSLEY A CO,
No. 800 Broad St., Augusta, Ga.
Athens, Ga., Nov. 22, 1859.
Dear Sir: Rhodes' Super-phosphate has been applied
by me this year, on a small scale, to both Com and Cot
ton. The result exceeded my e\[>eetation, althougn
the experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could
not be conducted with due caution ; yet I am entirely
satisfied that the growth of weed, in both instances, and
tlie fruit in corn and in the "number of bolls of Cot
ton, were fully double the yield in the portions unma
nured, and this when only a tablespoonful of the Super-
Phosphate was applied as a top-dressing to each hill of
Com, and a tea-spoonftil to each stalk of Cotton —and the
last as late in the season as the ISth of July. Some of
the Weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet branches,
covered with bolls, while the unmanured was not half so
good. It is my intention next year to test it more fully.
Very respectfully,
Yeur most ob't serv’t.
(Signed). M. C. M. HAMMOND.
Union Point, (G. R. It) Nov. 28, 1859.
Messrs. J. A. Ansley A Co—Gents : 1 bought a ton of
Rhodes’ Super-Phosphate in Baltimore, last Spring,
through Mr. 11. D. Leitner, of Berzelia, to test its value
as a Manure. I put about 125 [munds on an acre of Cot
ton. in the drill, on land that would not make over 75 to
100 iionnds of Seed Cotton per acre, without manure.—
The result is entirely satisfactory. I have made at least
450 to 500 iiounds to the acre on"this very poor land. I
expect to purchase from 5 to 8 tons for my spring crop.
My overseer wishes me to put his name to this also.

It is cheaper. *
It has no unpleasant smell.
It will not destroy seed by contact
It is fine powder, ready for application.
It will resist drought
It will prevent or lessen rust
It will cause earlier maturity.
It is a permanent manure, enriching the Soil.
It is guaranteed to be of uniform quality.

der, Esq., of Wilkes Co.:
Washington, 12th Nov., 1559.
“I like the result of my experiment with ‘ Ilovt,’ and
my trial acres have attracted inuch attention. The Com
has been gathered, and the ratio of manured to unma
nured, is as 25 to 11, or 100 to 44. In a favorable season,
itwonld have been greater. Upto date, the Cotton stands
as 518 to 127, bsing rather over 4to 1. When the Cot
ton is all in, I think it will be about 700 to 200.

ORCHARD GRASS SEED~
CROP OF 1859.
PRICE $5, per sack of two bushels. Warranted free
from the seeds of noxious weeds snd other impuri
ties.
In Upper Georgia, it succeeds best when sown about
the usual time of seeding oats.
One bushel of the seed should be used to an acre, nn.’
to give it a start, 60 to 100 Ibsof Peruvian Guano sow!
broadcast to each acre, and harrowed or brushed in.
As the seed is light it can be sent at a reasonable cost
to any part of the Southern States in charge of Adams
A Co's Express.
I have 40 acres seeded in 1853, and 60 acres seeded in
1858, and I have satisfied myself that for an upland pas
ture, it Is the most valuable and reliable of all the grass
es with which I have experimented during the last ten
years. RICHARD PETERS.

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS.
THERE is great demand for a strong and permanent
“ Fertilizer,” and experience of late years has prov
en the inefficiency of f!ii|K>rted manures for securing
crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of the
times, and give to exhausted lands of the Atlantic and
Gulf countries, a superior fertilizer at moderate cost
we have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable
compound made at tho Highlands, New Jersey, and en
titled the “NATIONAL FEKTILIZEB.” suited to
staples of every section.
It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, and thor
ougly dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thus affording food in
reaily form for assimilation to plant With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also
commingled large pro|>ortions of Marine Fish. King
Crabs, and other Crustacea. yielding the properties Am
monia— as deposited by birds of the Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile element, a modicum of
Green Shell Marl is used. By virtue of this the ammonia
resulting from decomposed fish, is at once fixed anil laid
dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses. With
three inqiortant essentials, Potash and Soda, as combined
with soluble Silica, are chemically manipulated, and the
entire mass is ultimately made fine, dry, and immediate
ly applicable to soil. The “ National Fertilizer,” as
shown in Circulars, is so compounded by change of these
and other valued ingredients, as to be suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works and Fisheries arc very extensive, anil
though their enterprise is but recently started, they have
a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer
tilizer for the Cereal Grains, Cotton, Vegetables. Ac., and
another specifically for Tobacco, and another for Sugar
Cane : thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly
adapted to them, and which, by rotation of crops, they
are known to extract constantly from the land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this mannre.
It is 30 per cent less cost per ton than Peruvian Guano,
but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob
ject of being stimulant to growth, and invigorator to
soil.
Mode of use: broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit
ing in hills. It possesses but half the moisture of Guano,
and suffers less deterioration by carriage.
Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but tin in strong bags
of 200 |K>undseach. or in new barrels, all stamped with
Company's brand, and shipped to any order in the United
States. Agents established in all the cities. A fair trial,
with discreet and liberal attention, is solicited.
