AGRICULTURAL.
Some Points about the Use of Commercial
Fertilizer.
Much has been written for and against
the use of commercial fertilizers, and the
question is still very far from being settled.
Some writers throw all the blame of worn
out soils on commercial fertilizers, but I do
not think this can lairly be done in any case.
Soils are never worn out by fertilizers of
any kind. That farmers who use commer
cial fertilizers sometimes exhaust their soils
very rapidly, cannot be denied ; but the
same is true of farmers who do not use them.
It is the farmer that exhausts the soil, and
the sooner this fact is fully understood by
him, the better it will be. At least four
fifths of those engaged in agriculture are
ignorant of the elements and conditions on
which fertility of the soil depends; and so
long as this is the case, the soil will be ex
hausted from year to year no matter whether
they use commercial fertilizers or not.
Every farmer who is well posted on the
subject, knows that the productiveness of a
soil depends upon the presence of certain
elements in the riht condition, to be ap
propriated by the growing crop, and that
where there is a deficiency of these or any
ol them, its productiveness will be dimin
ished to the same extent, and that the only
remedy is to supply the deficiency in some
way. It is often the case that the deficien
cy can be supplied very economically by
the use of commercial fertilizers, and many
who have pursued this course have event
ually exhausted their lands; but it is un
tenable to say that it was done by the use
of said fertilizers it would be more con
sistent to say it was done by the plow and
hoc. Every crop that is removed from a
farm reduces its productive capacity to a
certain extent, and the only way to prevent
its final exhaustion is to return the fertili
zing elements taken oft' with the crop. This
cannot be done without the intervention of
commercial fertilizers, especially where
grain and hay are sold. But commercial
fertilizers alone will not do it, although they
are indispensable. It is necessary to keep
the farm supplied with vegetable matter by
turning under pea vines, clover, stubble, &c,
and not allow stock to run on it much at
any time. Everything consumed on the
farm by man or beast should be careluJly
saved and returned to the farm. Good stalls
should be provided for the farm stock of all
kinds, and they should be kept in them when
not needed lor other use.
The word 'permanent' in connection with
fertilizers should be discarded at once and
forever. Anything that is permanent in the
soil is worthless as a fertilizer. Our farmers
must learn that, in order to keep their farms
up to a high state of productiveness, they
must be constantly feeding the soil ; and in
order to be prosperous in their occupation,
they must be more united, and act more in
concert, so as to enable them to take some
part in regulating the prices of what they
Bell and buy.
Owing to ignorance of the principles of
agriculture, lour-hlths ol the present erener
ation engaged in it will goon with the work
of exhaustion as Ions: as they live. Jtfuch
good might be done to check it if the readers
of agricultural papers would take advantage
ol every opportunity to induce their neigh
bors to subscribe also.

Symphytum Asperrimum.
From the Southern Planter and Farmer.
Experiencing the great want in this State
of some good fodder plant, I was induced to
place myself in communication with a gen
tleman in Europe who has devoted many
years to this subject, and who has, after con
siderable expense of time and money, suc
ceeded in introducing the above named plant
into pretty general notice in France, Ger
many and England, where it is daily be
coming more appreciated and valued.
The common name of this plant is Prickly
Comfrey. There are several varieties of
Symphytum indigenous to Great Britain,
but none of them are of much value for feed
ing purposes ; but the true Symphytum as
perrimum is a native of the Caucasus, and
produces enormous crops of the best fodder,
which, both in the green and dry state, is
greedily eaten by horses, cows, sheep, pigs
and poultry.
The culture of comfrey is simple and in
expensive. The ground is dug or plowed
six or eight inches deep, and well manured
" at the same time. The crowns, or root cut
tings, are then planted like potato sets,
three feet apart. In winter the roots should
be well dressed with farm-yard manure or
sewage.
The comfrey, when dried into hay, makes
good food for all kinds of stock, and the
branches and leaves, made into bundles, are
excellent for winter feed. The juice of the
plant contains much gum and mucilage, but
very little sugar. Cattle fed upon this plant
are free from the ravages of lung and foot
and mouth diseases. Its curative properties
have long been known. It has been noticed
that the plant thrives in all kinds of soil
and aspect. The leave?, as they reach ma
turity, are torn off without injury to the
coming crop. It is a hardy and free grower,
the roots taking firm hold of the soil. After
being once established they are difficult to
eradicate, and the leaves, which are most
abundant, can be gathered from the begin
ning of May to the first frosts without in
jury to the plant. C. E. AsiiBURNEn.
Note bv the Editor. We know nothing of
the above plant, but publish it as an item of interest.
Mr A. is an intelligent Englishman and a good
farmer, living in Henrico county, near Richmond.
Chicken Cholera. In response to sev
eral letters asking for recipes for disinfecting
mixtures to use about poultry-houses and
yards, where the above-named dreaded
scourge prevails, we give the following
Eight or ten pounds of sulphate of iron (cop
peras) dissolved in 5 or 6 gallons of water,
with naif a pint of crude carbolic acid added
to the solution, and briskly stirred, makes
the cheapest and best disinfecting fluid for
common use. It can be procured in every
town, and if the carbolic acid is not at hand,
the solution of copperas may be used with
out it. Sprinkle the walls, nest-boxes and
. perches daily with the above.
For the disinfection of ground on which
any excremental matter of diseased fowls
has been cast, rise coal tar. It is a good
plan to use coal tar as a paint for the inside
of poultry-houses, in districts invaded by
chicken cholera.

The Grasshopper.
That dire scourge of the western States
has effecluallv arrested the tide of emigra
tion which has flown in that direction foT
the past quarter of a century, and brings
the emigrant to an awful pause as he en
quires "Whuher shall 1 go
Both humanity and honor require that we
answer the question conscientiously. He is
forced to turn to some point. Shall we ad
vise him to come South ? I am aware many
will answer this in the afhrmative; but be
fore we do so let us deal honestly with the
emigrant and conceal no part of the truth
from him.
To emigrants wishing to pursue any one
of the following industries, namely : wool
growing, dairying, and cheese-making, and
stock-raising, I would point him to that high
plateau of land including the Blue Ridge,
where it runs through the counties of Jack
son, Macon and Clay, and thence into Geor
gia, containing perhaps over two thousand
acres of land, the mast of which is lifted by
the Blue Ridge to the height of nearly 4,000
feet above the level of the sea. Although
it is here directly under the 35th degree N.
L. its great height secures to it a cool, pure
atmosphere, Shd gives it as healthful a
climate as is on earth. All the grains and
grasses common to a high Latitude flourish
on these lands, hence its adaptability to the
above mentioned branches of industry. Of
course none but a small species of Indian
corn called Canadian corn will ripen there.
Judge II. II. Gresharn, whose address is
Asheville, N. C, is agent for the owner of
30,000 acres of these highlands, and 1 be
lieve the price for the best of them is $1.50
per acre. Anyway, I will sell 1,200 at that
price by wholesale, or $2 per acre by the
single hundred acres. Most of the High
lands are reached by good wagon roads, and
being settled by honest citizens.
