4 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.

This Manure is sold under a legal guarantee of Purity and Freedom from all Adulteration, from the eminent Manufacturing Chemists, Messrs.

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.

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.

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.
