What in Manure ?
Any tiling which upon being applied
to the soil, causes it to produce a more
abundant crop, is manure. Manure is
of three knids—natural, mental and me
chanical. Natural manure is anything
which, being decomposed, assists the
earth to support plant life. It is na
ture's original agent in preparing the
barren waste, which our earth for
merly was, as a fitting abode of man. —
The progress of decay and death in the
animal and vegetables kingdoms is the
only mode of creating natural manure.
This is the beginning as well as the end
of all earthly things. *
Mental manure is brains—not the an
imal composite which we call our brains,
but the active, creative principle, which
is the guiding power of man, and which
when applied to the operations of farm
ing, produces the third kind of manure,
the mechanical manure is]the result of
brains applied to rural affairs. Meehans
ieal manures are of more real value
to the farmer than cither or both the
other two. Mechanical manures con
sists of plows, harrows, cultivators, roll
ers, spades, shovels, rakes, etc., “ id om
nes.” If the farmer hooks on to the
mechanical manures, guides them by a
thorough application of the mental ma
nure, and stirs up the natural manure,
he farms he loosens up
the soil, the life giving atmosphere en
ters in, heat and moisture, in contradis
tinction to cold and wet, prevade the
earth, nature asserts her perogative,
seeds find themselves in a congenial ele
ment, the growing crops feel the treble
impulse, comes to harvest
abundantly.
All these manures are dependent up
on one another. It is necessary to cov
cr the earth with the natural; then the
mental comprehends the necessities of
the case, and applies itself to good work,
and calling in the aid ot her oldest son,
the mechanical, so manipulates our
mother earth that smiles spread over
her whole face, finally bursting into a
laugh of golden joy, which rings
through all the happy harvest.
“ And thus may we three meet again
Whene’er we sow our fields to grain.”
■ • -
C lean Farming.
We heartily endorse the following
bv a correspondent of Coleman’s Rural
World:
Nothing should grow or be suffered to
grow on a farm that cannot be convert
ed into money. Weeds and briars,
therefore should not be permitted to
grow, for there is no money value in
them, therefore they are a nuisance. A
crop of weeds, permitted to go to seed,
will exhaust the soil as much as a crop
of grass or grain, which have a money
value. It is amusing to hear men—
farmers —say that they let their fields
go to weeds in order to rest their land,
and to be ploughed under the next sea
son for manure. There can be no ob
jection to the ploughing under of green
crops as a manure, Jbut the defunct
weeds will add but littlo to the fertility
of the soil. Why not grow grass in
stead of weeds? With very little
trouble land can be seeded down to
grass, and used for pasture of hay ; this
can be converted into milk, beef, wool,
mutton or pork, out of which money
can make. The droppings of the stock
and sod full of roots, may be ploughed
under for another crop in rotation.—
Any system of farming that will admit
any part [say one field] of the farm to
remain unproductive for one year can
not be considered good farming. Ev
ery acre of tillable land on a farm, if
properly managed, will produce some
thing that can bo converted into mon
ey. Here is where the great secret of
good farming lies. Talk about giving
land rest! (Jive it plenty of food, and
change of occupation, and it requires
no rest. With a system based on these
principles, it will grow stronger and
better every year.
.
Fattening Cattle—Sweet Food.
In fattening animals time is often a
matter of importance to tho feeder.—
Sometimes a month gained is equal to
2D per cent, greater weight at a later
period. Cooking food renders its con
stituents more soluble and digestible,
therefore more rapidly entering into
flesh and fat. Asa condiment aud ap
petiser for fattening animals, molasses
has no equal. A small quantity of
which used upon hay, will cause a
larger quantity to be eaten with relish.
We have often tried molasses upon poor
animals with great satisfaction. A poor
horse will show a change in condition
in a few days. The molasses is not on
ly an excellent food, but being so solu
ble and assimilable it soon produces an
fmmedratc effect upon the condition of*
the animal. Three pints may be fed to
fattening animals per day but to cows
and feeding stock it may bo fed spar
ingly, not more than a pint a day to a
cow; as too much sweet will prevent
their breeding. When necessary to use
straw for fattening sick animals, the use
of molasses diluted with eight or ten
proportions of water to wet the straw
before steaming, will be found to ren
der it very palatable, and cause it to be
eaten, incorporated with other fattening
food, as readily as hay. Some noted
chemists have supposed all starchy food
to be converted into sugar by the ac
tion of the stomach before it becomes
assimilated as food. Perhaps this will
account for the remarkable effects of
aweet food upon animals.— Extract from
Stewart's Frizz Essay.
Young Men.
This year is sure to be the hardest
one you have ever known. Money will
be scarce, provisions high and difficult
to obtain. Now, we wish to tell you
that it is not yet too late to go to work.
If you are in the country stay there ;
if you are in town flee to the country
and pull off your coat and go to work
without delay. Do this and you may
be saved.
“ If you dally you are a dastard.
If you doubt you are damned.”
On you and your toughened sinews
the country relies. The old men of
tue land can never redeem its lost for
tunes. You may be men if you will;
success is within your grasp. Ther
mopylse bad but one messenger of de
feat, you teed have none. Leonidas
•and his three hundred perished as he
roes ; if you starve it will be as worth
less idlers. You Jiave waited long
enougbt for “ something to turn up."—
Rise like Sampson when he shook the
stout cords from his fettered limbs ;
shake off laziness from your stout arms
and seize the plow and ply the hoe
early and late, if you fail blame us
with it.
To those who are already in the
field we would beg them be of good
cheer, for in the season they shall
reap if they fail not.—■ Greenville Vin
dicator.
Xcw Method of Cotton Culture.
According to the Yorkville, S. C.
Enquirer, a planter in Edgefield district,
in that State, under a process similar to
that proposed by Mr. Poullain, raised
fifteen hundred pounds of lint cotton to
one acre of land. He planted two stalks
to the hill, at a distance of eight feet
each way. The hills were prepared as
if for transplanting fruit trees, being
dug down to a depth of twenty inches,
and two feet in diameter. Sandy loam
manore were then filled in, and the
seed planted. The enormous yield is
attributed to the thorough subsoiling,
the manure and the spade—the latter
being sufficient to allow the rays of the
sun to penetrate to the lower branches
of the plant and develop these fully. —
As cotton is essentially a sun plant, nev
er thriving unless fully supplied with
sun warmth, the philosophy of this
method is at once apparent.
Another method has been tried in
Union district, in the same State, and
with the Dickson improved seed. This
is to subsoil deeply, and plant in hills
three feet each way, thinning out the
plants when large enough, to two in each
hill. About fifteen hundred pounds of
seed cotton to the acre was obtained
from a five acre field planted in the
spring in this way.
Cabbage ami Ham &ala<l.
Take two small heads of cabbage,
well washed, and chop them quite fine ;
slice off a dozen or more of thin slices
of tender boiled ham. Mix the two
together in a salad bowl. Make a dress
ing of two raw eggs, mixing the yolks
with half a teaspoonful of mustard,
stirred up in boiling water; then add
three tablespoonfuls of sour cream, just
skimmed from the pan, or one small tea
cupful of salad oil, poured in very slow
ly. Stir for ten minutes, adding a lit
tle salt and pepper. Beat the whites
of the eggs to a froth, and add to it;
also four tablespoonfuls of vinegar.—
This makes a delicious side dish, or a
course at the dinner-table, and the
house-wife will find it a toothsome sub
stitute for a hot dinner when the mer
cury mounts high among the nineties,
and there is ironing or washing to at
tend to. Chopped cold boiled potatoes
can also be added ; and the dish can be
prepared out of cold boiled corned beef
chopped fine, or from cold roast veal, or
mutton. Lettuce can be substituted for
cabbage if preferred, and the mustard
can be left out.
Your Feet Warm.
To keep these extremities warm is to
effect an insurance against the almost
interminable list of disorders which
spring out of a “slight cold." First,
never be tightly shod. Boots or shoes,
when they fit closely, press against the
foot, add prevent the free circulation of
the blood. When, on the contrary they
do not embrace the foot too tightly,.the
blood gets fair play, and the spaces left
between the leather and stocking are
filled with a comfortable supply of warm
air. The second rule is, never sit in
damp shoes. It is often imaginad, that
unless they are positively wet, it is not
nssessary io ehange (hem while the fee?
are at rest. This is a fallacy j for when
the least dampness is absorbed into the
sole, it is attracted further to the foot
itself by its own beat, aud thus perspi
ration dangerously checked. Any per
son say prove this by trying the ex
periment of neglecting the rule, and his
feet will become cold and damp after a
few moments taking off the shoe and
warming it, it will appear quite dry.
Facts for Farmers. —lt will not
do to hoe a great field for all little crops,
or to mow twenty acres for five loads of
hay. Enrich the land and it will pay
you for it. Better farm thirty acres well
than fifty by halves.
Accounts should be kept in detail
ing the expenses and product of each
field.
When an implement is no longer
wanted for the season, lay it carefully
aside, but first let it be well cleaned.
Obtain good seed. Prepare your
ground well, sow early, and pay very lit
tle attention to the moon.
Cultivate your own heart aright ; re
member that “ whatsoever a man sowetb
that shall he also reap."
Do not begin farming by building au
extensive house, nor a spacious barn
until you have something to store in
it.
Keep notice of remarkable events on
your farm.

Commendatory.—“ Having, from our long
acquaintance with J. E. Foster every confi

saying we believe he will carry out his Dis
tribution honestly and fairly.” Signed by
the Mayor, lion. T. J. D. Wilson, and the
City Council.
That old and reliable paper, the Houston
Telegraph, which rarely* coodecends to no
tice individual enterprises, says of the First
Drawing:
“ Not even the most captious and unspect
ing person could take exceptions of the man
ner of tlie di awing. It was fair, honorable
and equitable.
“The committee and recorders were of
our very best citizens, and kindly gave their
time and labor to the superintendence
of the drawing, or rather did the actual la
bor of it.
“Capt. Foster has acted honorably and
fairly throughout the whole management of
this enterprise. While some money has been
made by the venture in all probability, yet
the property given as prizes has o_ly netted
a fair prce, and the property for cash.”
That staunch Democratic paper,the Hous
ton Age, has the following :
“THE COMMITTEE
of gentlemen was one of the best that could
have been selected by the audience. Hon.
D. U. Barziza, who supervised the dr wing,
is our Representative, and one of the most
popular men in the district.
“THE I RAWING
was preface 1 by an explanation fro n Capt.
Foster, of the mode adopted. This was well

plained by the circulars. Capt. Foster said
he wished all his home people good luck, lie
was yet free to say that with the people of
poor Mississippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina, he felt a greater sympathy, and
he did hope they would draw the largest
number of prizes, that they might come to
a free country, and make a white man’s liv

cheers.

WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 187$.
The approach of the Presidential election
gives unusual importance to the events and
developments of 1875. We shall endeavor to
describe them fully, faithfully and fearless
ly.-
THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained
a circulation of over seventy thousand
copies. Its readers are found in every
State and Territory, and its quality is well
known to the public. We shall not only en
deaver to kaep it fully up to the old stand
ard but to improve and add to its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be
a thorough newspaper. All the new- of the
clay will be found in it, condensed when un
lmportant, at full length when of moment,
and always, we trust, treated in a clear;
interesting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN
the best family newspaper in the world. It
will be full of entertaining and appropriat
leading of every sort, but will print nothing
the most scrupulous and delicate
taste. It will always contain the most in>-
; teresfing stories and romances of the’ d&f,-
carefully selected and legibly printed.
Ihe Agricultural Department is a promi
nent feature in the WEEKLY SUN, and its
articles will always be found fresh and
useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent in Mf
tics is increasing, and the WEEKLY SUN
is their paper especially. It belongs to no
party, and obeys no dictation, contending
for principle, and for the election of fhe
best men. It exposes the corruption that
disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It
has no fear of knaves, and seeks no favors
from their supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fash
ions are regularly roported in its columns,-
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one’
dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages,
and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays
the expenses of paper and printing, we are
not able to make any discount or allow any
premium to friends who may make special
efforts to extend its circulation. Under th*
new law, which requires payment of pos
tage in advance, one dollar a year, with
twenty cents the cost of prepaid postage
added, is the rate of subscription. It is not
necessary to get up a club in order to have
the WEEKLY SUN at this rate. Any one
who sends one dollar and twenty cents will
get the paper, post paid, for a year
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY SUN. —Eight pages,
