BALTIMORE

EPISCOPAL METHODIST. A Paper for the Times.

THE BALTIMORE EPISCOPAL METHODIST, while it is able and fearless in its defence of the doctrines and polity of the Methodist Episcopa Church, South, is in no partizan sense denominational.

It is a Metropolitan paper, adapted to every part of our country, and receives the support of Clergymen and Christians of all Evangelical denominal tions.

It is the organ of the Baltimore Conference, and essentially aids the cause of Missions, Education, and every other interest of the Church within its bounds.

This Journal is a most efficient, constant, and successful assistant to our Ministers in their Pulpit and Pastoral work.

It contains the General News of the Day, and its Correspondence, Foreign and Domestic, is full, fresh and reliable.

No one rises from its perusal without an intelligent knowledge of the thoughts that pertain to the spirit of the age, and the upbuilding and progress of the kingdom of our Lord.

It is eagerly sought for by the children as well as by adults, and abounds with the most reliable information in every department of useful knowledge. Such is the BALTIMORE EPISCOPAL METHODIST-its open, honest face is its best invitation to trust, confidence, and good-will.

THE EDITORIAL STAFF

Embraces some of the most gifted writers in the country, and several of the ablest Ministers of the Baltimore Conference.

PACIFIC GUANO COMPANY'S

COMPOUND ACID PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATE OF LIME,

FOR COMPOSTING WITH COTTON SEED.

JOHN S. REESE & CO., Gen'l Agts.

Cotton Seed, as is well known to all who have given attention to the subject, abounds in ammonia. It affords an available and cheap source of that essential element of fertility. It is deficient in all the other important elements, hence when applied to crops without the proper addition of Soluble Phosphoric Acid and other fertilizing substances; it is not an effective fertilizer for cotton.

In order to Utilize Cotton Seed as a source of ammonia for the above purposes, the

PACIFIC GUANO COMPANY

has introduced an article under the above trade marks for the express purpose of composting with Cotton Seed. The Compound Acid Phosphate contains Soluble Phosphorie Acid, and all the other required elements, except ammonia, hence when composted with Cotton Seed, as directed below, the ammonia is supplied, and a perfect fertilizer is obtained at the lowest cost.

The Compound Acid Phosphate is manufactured at the Company's Works, at Charleston, S. C., under the personal direction of Dr. St. Julien Ravenel, Chemist and Superintendent of the Works; hence the integrity of its composition may be relied upon.

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPOSTING.

To Prepare the Compost-Take a given weight of Cotton Seed, which can be readily done by ascertaining the weight of a basket well filled, and using it as a measure for the given weight. Thus: measure out, for example, 400 lbs.; after wetting it well, empty upon it an equal weight of Acid Phosphate, say two sacks of 200 lbs. each; after mixing well with hoes or shovels, pack into a heap, and repeat the operation, enlarging the heap to any desired extent.

The Compost heap may be placed in a pen made with rails to support the sides of the mass, simply covering the top with boards lapping each other to conduct off the rain. Nothing further is required until the proper time for application arrives.

In this manner the Compost may be easily made, and its effects cannot fail to give the highest satisfaction, while its economy must commend it to general use.

The most suitable time to make the Compost is when the Seed comes from the gin. The longer the heap is allowed to lay the better, as it can lose none of its value and the decomposition will be more thoroughly effected.

If not convenient to be made at time of ginning, it will be sufficiently decomposed for use in from three to six weeks.

By decomposition of the Seed in contact with the Acid Phosphate there can be no loss of Ammonia, as is the case with the ordinary rotting of Cotton Seed. The whole of its Ammonia is securely held until liberated in the soil.

The quantity of Ammonia thus rendered available to the South for fertilizing purposes, will surprise those whose attention has not been given to the subject.

The Cotton Crop of the South collects from the soil and atmosphere, in its growth and development, and fabricates into its Seed at maturity, certainly not less than 50,000 tons actual Ammonia. By reason of the bulk of the Seed, however, it is available for fertilizing purposes only on the plantations; and to be made capable of its highest utility must be used as here proposed."

The Compost, when made, is applied as other fertilizers, at the rate of from 400 to 600 lbs. per acre, or more, at the discretion of the planter.

The Compound Acid Phosphate for composting as above is sold by the Company's Agents, at all leading markets in the South. For further information apply to the undersigned, General Agents of Pacific Guano Co.

EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES.

[From Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.]

"Were I, in view of all the competitors that are now in the field, to choose, I should certainly choose THE LIVING AGE. Nor is there, in any library that I know of, so much instructive and entertaining reading in the same number of volumes.' [From the Congregationalist and Recorder, Boston, June 2, 1870.] "We repeat the conviction we have many times expressed, that none of the Eclectics can be matched with this as to substantial value and interest."

"

[From the New York Commercial Advertiser.]

"During each year, the reader gets the best of the essays, poetry, sereal novels, and statements of fact in science or current history, which the year produces. All of this is furnished at about the price of one of the Reviews or Magazines from which it is drawn." [From the New York Tribune.]

"The selections always indicate a refined and catholic taste, and a happy art of catering to the popular demands, without lowering the standard of sound literature." [From the Lutheran and Missionary, Philadelphia.]

"An extraordinary value marks many of the articles of this publication, because they are the productions of the ablest men of our times."

[From the American Churchman, Chicago.]

"It has always seemed to us to contain the best poetry, the most able essays and criticisms, and the most interesting stories, of any Magazine in the English language." [From the American Presbyterian, Philadelphia.] "Indispensable to any one who wishes to keep the run of things in literature, politics, and theology." [From the Christian Examiner, Richmond.]

"It is the great Eclectic of this country."
