[aOSTICCtTCBAU]
OPERATIONS FOE DECEMBER.
The genoral directions given for the latter part
of last month, apply to the present one when
the weather is not too severe.
In the Kitchen Garden, when the ground is
not too wet or frozen, trenching, digging and
ridging may proceed. In mild weather, trans
planting may be done, and in frosty weather
get manure upon the ground. All hardy per
rennials may bo set out, if not done last month,
such as Sea Kale, Rhubarb, Asparagus, but the
roots must not be exposed to cold winds or
frost, and after planting cover the beds with lit
ter. If not already done, gather and store win
ter cabbage; it keeps best with its roots planted
in the soil, on the nortli side of a fence or build
ing. with a few plank thrown over, to screen the
heads from die sun while frozen. See that all
work neglected or unfinished last’ month now ]
goes on.
English Peas of the early sorts and Broad j
Beans may bo planted, though there is but little
gained thereby, except in the low country.
Protect Asparagus, as directed last month, if
not already done. Collect forest leaves, swamp
earth, decayed tan, or sawdust to litter the
yards and stables and increase the supply of ma
nure. Collect peabrush, beanpoles, stalks and
supports of all kinds and prepare them in in bad
weather, under cover, for spring use. set up a
stock of tallies to bo ready as needed.
In the Fruit Garden give the roots of the vine,
Pear, and other fruit trees, their annual dressing
of manure, do not spade it in but dig it in with
a broad tined fork and the surface roots, so es
sential to the prouctiveness of most trees, will
be uninjured.
Pruning should now rapidly go on, beginning
with the vine apple or pear. Reserve the peach
and other stone fruits until towards spring as
pruning uow is thought to hasten their period
of blossoming in the spring; clear away all the
dead wood and useless spray. Do not prune
anything during heavy frosts.
Take up worn out fruit trees and shrubs of
all kinds and plant young ond vigorous ones in
their stead, but do not put in their places
other trees of the species but a dif
ferent sort entirely unless you choose to remove
the whole body of soil into which the roots of
the old tree extended and supply its place en
tirely with fresh soil. The secret of raising
Raspberries with success is to shift the location
of the plants and put them in fresh soil every
three or four years. Do not let an entire orchard
or plantation of fruits get w’orn out arid fail at
the same time.
In transplanting, do no fear to prune freely
your young trees and vines. They will bo larg
er a year lienee if well shortened in when plan
ted out.
Scions of all kinds may now be cut and pre
served in the soil or in close tin boxes ready for
use in the grafting season. Protect your figs
by a screen of evergreen bushes put over to
shield them from the sun when frozen.
In the Fbwer Garden and Shrubbery, cut off
and remove the decayed stalks of chrisanthe
mums and other plants, carry oft' the fodder
leaves and dig the borders thoroughly with the
fork taking care not to injure bulbs therein.
Around the roots of the plants and shrubs not
fully hardy place a mulching of light litter, leaves
or moss. If leaves, cover them lightly with
soil, to prevent their being blown off, a few
evergreen twigs stuck into the soil about a
young tender rose just planted out are a great
protection to it in severe weather and will often
save its life.
Continue in mild, dry weather operations upon
ground such as grading terracing laying out
walks, laying turf, Ac. Procure and plant all
hardy flowers, shrubs and perennials. Os
shrubs, some of the best deciduous ones are the
red and blush, Pyrus Japponiea, Persian and
other Lilacs. Mock Orange, (Philadelphuscoro
naria), Roses of sorts, Azalea calendulacer, Ja
pan corchorus, Speroa prunifolia (double),. S-
Reovesii (double and single) Calycnnthus, double
Hanthorus, Florreny ast, Deutzia Scalra and
Gracilis. Altheas, Snowball, Weizelia, Rosea
and Amalalis. Rhus Continus, Snowberry, Irce
Paeonia, Forsythia, Dwarf Almond, Yitex Ag
nus Castus, Daphne Mczereum, Ac. Evergreen
shrubs do better in general it planted in spring
just a9 the season opens. Box edgings may
however be set at any time during the winter
when the soil is fit and the weather is mild.
Plant only at such times, exposing the roots of
no plant to frost and drying winds.
In the pit. the store plants must be kept rath
er dry, giving water as they need more abun
dantly to those in a growing state, and very lit
tle to such 09 are dormant. Give pleuty of air
in mild weather and cover the frames with shut
ters or mats in time of severe frosts, keep the
plants free from dead leaves and damp litter.
Loosen the soil when green or hard. See that
the drainage of the pots is perfect. If any Dah
lia tubers are still out better take them up some
sunny day, dry them and keep in a dry. place
freo from frost.
—
Wash fob Buildings. —The following recipe
was sent by a gentleman of New Orleans to his
friend in Philadelphia, who writes that the wash
was satisfactorily tested upon the roof of the
Phoenix Foundry, in that neighborhood. It is
not only a protection against fire, but renders
brick work impervious to water. The basis is
lime, which must bo slacked with hot water in a
tub, to keep in the t steam. It should then be
passed, in a semi-fluid state, through a fine sieve.
Take six quarts of the fine lime, and one quart
of clean rock salt, for each gallon of water the
salt to be dissolved by boiling, and the impuri
ties skimmed off. To fivo gallons of this mix
ture, salt and lime, add one pound of alum, half
a pound of copperas, three-fourths of a pound of
potash, the last to bo added gradually, four quarts
of fine sand, or hard wood ashes. Add coloring
matter to suit the fancy. It should bo applied
with a.brusli. It looks as well as paint, and is
as lasting as slate. It stops small leaks, pre
vents moss from growing, and renders the work
incombustible.—[.V. }' Farmer.

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.
THE RICHMOND FACTORY, Richmond county,
Ga., continues to manufacture WOOLEN CLOTH
at \i)4 cents per yard for plain, and 16 for twilis—finding
every material except the wool. The extensive and
constantly increasing patronage the Factory has enjoyed
for past years, assures the proprietors that the article of
Winter Clothing for negroes, made by them, has not been
surpassed by any cloth made North or South.
. Recent extensive Improvements, and others now being
erected, enable ns to keep np the standard of the Goods,
and to secure an early delivery.
Planters, or others, who may wiah to send us wool t*
be made into cloth, can send it'dirty or elean. If washed,
it should be done in cold water, and done thoroughly. If
sent dirty, we charge half cent per yard extra for wash
ing. Burry Wool Is not objectionable; the burs are re
mo vod by machinery. The name of the owner should be
marked upon every package sent.
Wool sent bv railroads in Georgia, Alabama, Tennes
see, or South Carolina, to the Augusta depot, w ith the
owner's name, and “ Richmond Factory ” marked upon
it, will be rcgnlarly and promptly received, and the cloth,
when made, returned to the |>oints directed. Each par
cel Is made up in the turn received.
We would especially urge ujxin our patrons the great
necessity of sending in the wool as soon as clipped ; if
this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of
having the cloth in ample time.

over Peruvian Guana, or any other Fertilizer now in

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.
We subjoin an extract from a letter of A. L. Alexan
der, Esq., of Wilkes Co.;
Washington, 12th Nov., 1859.
“I like the result of my experiment with‘Hoyt,’ and
my trial acres have attracted much 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,
it would have been greater. Up to 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.

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 imported 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 the Highlands, New Jersey, and en
titled the “NATIONAL FERTILIZER,” suited to
staples of every section.
It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, ami tbor
ongiy dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thusaffording food in
really form for assimilation to plant. With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also
commingled large proportions of Marine Fish, King
Crabs, and other Crustacea, yielding the properties Am
monia—as deposited by birds of tbe Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile element, a modicum of
Green Shell Marl is used. By virtue ofthis the ammonia
resulting from decomposed fish, is at once fixed and laid
dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses. With
three important essentials. Potash and Soda, as combined
with soluble Silica, arc 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, os to be suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works and Fisheries are very extensive, and
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 tho land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure.
It is 30 percent 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 up in strong bags
of 200 poti nils each, 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.

without deterioration of the crops, or fruit trees growing

RHODES’ SUPER-PHOSPHATE! —
F. ASTERS seeking Manures, will recollect that
Rhodes' Super-phosphate is the only Manure the
late eminent Analytical Chemist, Prof. Bickcll, 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’ Snpc- 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 im|>ortant 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 Corn and Cot
ton. The result exceeded my expectation, 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 botli instances, and
the 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
Corn, and a tea-S|>oonful to each stalk of Cotton—and the
last as late In the season as the 18th of July. Some of
the Weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet branches,
covcredVith bolls, while the unmanured was not half so
good. It is my intention next year to test it more fully.
Very respectfully,
Your most ob’t serv’t.
(Signed), M. C. M. HAMMOND.
Union Point, (O. R. R.) Nov. 28, 1859.
Messrs. J. A. Anrley A Co—Gents : 1 bought a ton of
Rhodes’ Super-Phosphate in Baltimore, last Spring,
through Mr. 11. D. Leltner, of Berzelia, to test its value
as a Manure. I put about 125 pounds on an acre of Cot
ton, In the drill, on land that would not make over 75 to
100 pounds of Seed Cotton per acre, without manure.—
The result is entirely satisfactory. I have made at least
450 to 500 pounds 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.
Yours, in great haste,
(Signed). P. W. PRINTUP,
