? O, lonesome sea-gull, floating ihr
' Over ihk ocew's icy waste,
Aimless and wide thy wanderings are,
ForeVcr vainly recking reat;
Where is thy mate, and where thy neat ?
'Twixt wintry sea an4^intr^ sk^, i '{
Cleaving the keen afr^with fliy breast,'
Thou sailest slowly, solemnly :
^.i^jNd'fctter on thy wing is pressed; .
"Where is thy mate, and where thy nest ?
O restless, homeless human soul,
Following for aye thy nameless quest;
The gulls float and thc'billoWB roll?
Thou watchc?t still and questionest}
"Where Is thy mate, and where thy nest?

Agricultural Scraps.
S?&~ Farmers report a frost on night
of 12tb. iust., which must have interfered
seriously with, tender garden. vegetables,
and all cottoa which was up. It was too
early for any large area of cotton to bo
injured.
?i *'TriK^ Rural Carooniak'' for
April has come to hand, and as usual is
filled with useful matter for the planter.
Terms, $2.00.per annum.
.The Truck farmers of Charleston neck
complain of tho injury done to their veg
ctablest<-(hy .the sulphuric-acid factories
adjacent? "A"committee has reported on
the subject; holding that tho injuries*
must have occurred frcm some other
cause?at which the farmers demur. The
matter is not yet settled.

ral and ?leclianieal Association" are.left

From Rural Carolininn.
Guano on Gray Lands and Rust in
Cotton.
Gray jaud jagood for cotton, and suit
able for guano if it has a clay founda
tion. Land tjiat is sure to make a good
crop according to capacity, is sure to do
well with manures of any ki?d contain
ing plant-food.
I disagree with tho Doctor about am
monia being stimulating. It acts at
once, bcoausc it is the jaost essential crop
feeder, and is. most soluble. There is no
such thing as stimulating plants. Feed
them, and thoy will be suro * to grow if
treated right.
Dr. Pobdleton is mistaken about my
ever consulting a chemist in regard to
my compound, or salt and plaster, or
i>i)w>!)ii-.-T /?Ten? f!tr?1irrl? T lrn/\*i> ???>/?! r. >x

preciatc the valuo of chemistry, and the
sciences generally, to the world. They
are accomplishing wonders. Salt and
plaster, from tho first to tho present,
have-bcen a complete succoss with me.
He is also mistaken about muriate of
potash being a failure,. That nluo is a
success, as all my tenants will bfcar wit
ness, as well as all others who have seen
my crops growing.
It is remarkable how two men, G.
Ville, in France, and myself here, should
agree soncarly about a complete man?re,
each being ignorant of tho others experi
ments. I have always classed the essen
tials of plant-food in this ofderr Am
monia phosphoric acid, potash and lime,
just as Professor Ville has done. I ad
mit all must be present; nnd theso if in
sufficient quantities, will find the balance
in almost any soil. But beside these
four, it is all important to have sulphur
(as in land plaster) and salt to keep the
cotton plant healthy and growing. '
I have always contended that rust is
caused by nothing but poverty of soil,
and my practice lias fully proved it.?
The first badly rusted cotton I ever saw,
was about fifty-five or fifty-eevon years'
ago. Now 1 ant cultivating the same
plat with complete success, making from
2,000 to 3,000 lbs, seed cotton per acre.
The rust question is of the first impor
tance- (o the c?ttou planscr.a, and I fay it
is caused^ by .' poverty: of soil, in various
ways/, ',t?nt still it. is poverty. Causes:
1st. ' Leaching ^bf* land by it being
t.priiigy and by being porous..and heavy
rains sinking nil soluble matter WloW
tho roots of the cotton plant. 2. Gene?
ral exhaustion of all the plant-food. 3.
Letting it get grnr-sy too early, or stop*
jvork too soon,
> An 4JiVUrop*of .ronek>f riit tenants, in
1871, thoro was a wet p?tt in One c/f his
patches that, got very .grassy. He
pjoughed one-half over with a sweep, and
it took on bolls finely, but got over*
taxed and became rusted, but still made
a fair crop. On the other half he took
a ^turning plough . and went in deep,
throwing the dirt all in the middle, and
causing the cotton to throw off what
bolls it had then made, and it failed to
set any for a good while. After the
plant recovered it grew finely and com
menced to take on bolls, and did not
rust but made nothing, frost killing all.
ThaFploughing was the last, except a
middle 8weep furrow.
A heavy load of bolls early, will make
cotton rust on thin sandy land from ex
haustion, if not well sustained with a
good fertilizing compound.
Last year, on tho top of a sand hill,
one of my tenants left out about twenty
rows' without ?manure. He stopped
ploughing about the twentieth of July.
The manured rows shaded ? the ground,
kept down the crow-foot grass and i did
well, making 1,000 to 1,200 seed cotton
per acre. The rows unmanured were
overrun with tho grass, rusted, and did
not make at tho rate of 100 lbs. per acre.
Two years ago, one of my tenants had
a cow-pun in tho middle of ono of my
fields, in which cotton rusted badly when
not properly manured. Tho next year
planted it in cotton. That -where the
cow-yen was did not.rust, and made a
fine crop.
Tho great remedies for rust are the
spade, clay scattered over, rotation of1
crops, rest, and heavy manuring. These
remedies arc sure.
