PREPARING THE 80IL PLANTING AND
CULTIVATING COTTON,
- Dr. Cmhjd Dear Sir : The period for the
preparation of the toil for the reception of
the teea is ipnng time, li near at nana, j
have thought it might sot be unimportant
to iliicuia the best mode of preparing the
oil, and the cultivation of the cotton plant.
Fin the first place, the hill-aidei ihould be
ditched, ai no ay item of cultivation will re
tain the fertility of the toil if ever rain that
tails it allowed to carry away the richest
portion of the earth, and convert the hills
into barren gullies. Independent of the
savin? of the land by the horizontal system
of culture, it is beneficial in retaining the
water so that it may be absorbed by the
earth, and furnish moisture to the plants in
times of drought.
Next to ditching the hill-sides in impor
tance, is the turning over with good turn
plows, all rough, grassy and stubble lands.
The time when this operation i accom
plished, is a matter of much importance ; as
sufficient time for the complete decomposi
tion of all vegetable matter must be allowed,
or the greatest good will not be accomplish
ed by this operation. It will be teen, then,
that the earlier in the fall or winter all stub
ble and grassy corn landi are turned over
the better.
The immediate preparation ol the laud for
the cotton crop should be commenced bv
sabsoiling the land to the depth of eight or
ten inches, and this should be done in Feb
ruary if possible. As soon as the subsoiling
is gotten through with, the beds intended
for the reception of the cotton seed should
l .l . .i.: -i r ,
imD.rt.nc.. much of the after succesf de -
pends on the manner in which the beds have
Eeen made. Commence bedding by running
a shovel furrow as deep as ane horse can pull
it convenientlr. about three feet apart as!
level as the rows can be made, then finish
bedding with a turning plow, pulverizing the
earth as deeply and thoroughly as possible.
There ia considerable discrepancy of opin
ion in relation to the width of row. I think
that on lands that will not bring more than
a thojsand or twelve hundred pounds of cot
ton to the acre, three feet is the proper dis
tance for the rows to be placed apart.
The physical condition and chemical
changes effected by only subsoiling, is no
where more apparent than in the cultivation
of the cotton plant. It is a well ascertained '

ly so, is created to the depth of the earth
subsoiled, obstructing the burning ravs of
the sun in summer, and the retention of the
mniiture of the earth. The great permra

foi' When the soil is deeply pulverized,!
it is able to absorb a much greater amount
of rain water, thereby pi-eventing w ashing
of the land, and drown'ns of the plant. Now,
as the soil takes up more water, evaporation
prevented, drought does not so easily effect
the growing plant.
It will be aeen that in proportion to the
fineness of the soil, and the depth it is pul
verized, the greater will be the surface acted
upon by atmospherical and electrical influ
ences; consequently, a greater amount of
nutritive matter will be assimilated and ta
ken up by the roots of the plants in search
after food.
The height of the beds preparatory to the
reception ot the soil depends very much on
the quality of seed 1 if the land is level, and the
soil close ami nne tne oeu. cannm oe mrown

i that are light and tri
able do not require to be raised much above
a level j but uplands having a tenacious clog
gy soil, such as the prairie lands, ought to be
bedded pretty high so as to protect the plants
until the water can be absorbed. I have al
ready said, that in making the beds the land
should be plowed at deep as possible. From
the first to the fifth of April is the best time
to commence planting, which should be done
by running a small scooter furrow exactly ia
the middle of the bed, covering with a har
row. The seed ought to be drilled pretty
thick to insure a good stand and to enable
ths hands to make speed in running around
the first tune.
The cultivation of the cotton plant is an
operatiun of the greatest importance that
svstem of culture which will insure the!
greatest uniformity of condition at regards:
warmth and moisture, at the same time giv-
J ing the greatest amount of play to the elec-
trical and atmospherical influences, and do
ing the least amount of injury to the roots
of the plant, is the one most certain to pro.
duce the greatest vield of staple or cotton
lint.
; As soon ss the young plants are above (he
ground, commence its cultivation by running
around each side as close as it can be done,
covering all the cotton up except the buds
oft narrow streak in the centre of the bed.
This operation it properly done, will save a
Jreat deal ot hoeing. In about five or six
ays alter the cotton has been run around,
which should be done with solid sweep,
the operation of chopping out may be com
menced, and as soon as tne hoes have gone
ever it, it should again be plowed with a
sweep with two furrows to each row. The
loes should now follow the plows, and .ut
the stalks of cotton to the distance they are
intended to stand ; as much regularity ir.
this work, must be observed as possible;
placing each stalk in the rows half the dis
tance the rows are apart. Commence plow
ing the third time in about fifteen or twenty
days, run three or four furrows in each row
according to their width. Great care now
most be used not to let the plow go too deep
the plow used most be a flat sweep. Great
industry will be necessary now to get back
to the cotton to give it the lourth and last
plowing.
Much caution is required in this last op
eration, as many Gelds of cotton are ruined
by the last plowing. The work should be
done with a very flat sweep running as shal
low as possible", and far enough from the
stalks to prevent breaking the limbs and the
roots. The whole operation may be com
pleted with the hoes, by going over and cut
ting eutall the straggling weeds, and bunches
of grass that may liave been left by the
plows. Your truly,
JOSEPH W. ATKINS.

HUNGARIAN AND RYE CRASS.
Mr. Editor! The people of the South
must turn their attention to other things
beside cotton, if they would be a thrifty in
dr pendent people. We should raise not anly
our corn, wheat, and oats, but we should put

and lor grazing, H we desire to raise the

SrsniviDf ths Cattlk Yards. In regard In
the necessity for such division of cattleyard
as will give equal opportunities to the ani
mals confined therein, for progrea and im
provement, the Prairie Farmer says t
" Large and small animal are turned in
promiscuously together, and every farmer
knows that the larger ones are very ferocious
and domineering towards those much infer-
nr. but careful not to provoke the wrath of
such as are nearly equal. Turn those to.
geiher that are of a similar size, and they
will be more quiet. Calves generally are
too much neglected, and come out small and
' puny in the spring. A good manager has a
I spacious stable for calves in one of his sheds
moderately lighted, and well theltered from
all cm rents of wind. This apartment is kept
clean, the calves fed on good hay, and sup
plied with good water. They present very
different appearances flora other cahts in the

Away from heme the dear one died,
And atrangera took the place
Of thoN for whom he deeply aighed
Of every kindred face.
They wiped the deth-dmp from hi brow
Thai friend would fain hv done,
And laid hie youthful body low,
To slumber there alone.
They knew not what a joy 'twould be
Te friends long parted from,
The last ol their beloved to tee,
And weep around hi tomb.
Eye thai once gazed upon him here
Look not upon hi grave,
But hrarta that distance cannnl rnnrk
Are wafted on the wave
The wave of thought, at eventide
And early bluah of morn,
Where aleeps the dust of him who died
Far from hia childhood's home.
But, oh, could kindred hed a leer
Upon hi early trnnb,
'Twould trngely leave a trace of cheer
That othera know not of.

Aa If hi grave were tienr,
Bui rould a lister's loving hand
Just plant one fljwcr there !
He elcepa with atrangers gather'd round.
Hie parent deep not there ;
But their united spirits dwell
Beyond the reach of fear
Where partings never rend the heart.
Nor death their vital tare,
Where golden stream of merry Aow,
And there are no graves there. 8. H.

lips, and begged for "more. Between you
and I, the beetse was nothine but apple
syrup. After all had bt en served twice, the
bottle was carefully locked in the aide-
board. "
The same performance was solemnly re.
prated for several evenings. At last flie
child, who had not lost a joint of what hd
occurred, and deeply mortified to think that
his youth stood betwVn him and the delight-
ful syrup, ventured to ask his mother to Ul
hint "taste it only a spooufjl.
" Is it possible yon can think of such a
thing f " exclaimed Madame D. Oh. dear,
no! If it were kuoan that you drank- Sul-
tan't syrup, no one would consider you a lit-
tie uoy any longer, ami people would oe
asking you the time of day, or the price of
stocks!"
All this of course onty tcttdo-l to increase
the child's curiosity ; and the next day, his
mother, appearing to yield to his entreaties,
promised that perhapi a spoonful might be
.it.n him ffiifir aifc-itniiitv. tin ituftn. i,.inH
twin bottles were brought forth, and whilst
the comedians took each a small glass of
apple syrup as before, Master Alfred gulped
down a good dose of cod liver oil. And he
' did it with pride and joy, Ion. despite its
! horrible taste fully pursiuded, as he wst,
that his elders were permitting him to imi
tate them. No one asked him how he liked
it, and after lavishing new praises upon the
elixir, it was azatn very careful v nut auav.
The next evening the same performance was
repeated, and the next, and the next; the
child's vanity being always excited to the
requisite point. Ana so well did Madame
D. and her accomplices play out the comedy,
that to this day, whenever little Alfred is
wilful or disobedient, or lazr. or obstinate.
or fretful, all his mother need say is, " if you
are not a good boy, you shall have no syrup
io-nigni. Ana tne menace works like a
charm !
DESTRUCTION RAILROAD.
The Directors take pleasure in re-assuring
their numerous friends and patrons that the
K o.il to Ituin is now in good order.
Within the last three months it hat car
ried more than three hundred thousand pas
sengers clear through from the town of Tem
perance to the city of Destruction, while
the number of way passengers is encourag
ing. An enormous amount of freight, such as
mechanics' tools, household furniture, and
even whole farms, have gone forward ; and
the receipts of the year have been so large
'.hat the Directors have resolved to declare a
dividend of five hundred per cent. The
track has been much improved, and re-laid
with Messrs. Diabolus & Co.'s patent rail.
The grades are reduced to a dead level, and
tlx switches brought to such perfection all
along the route, as to jerk the cars in a mo
ment from the main track, to avoid collision
with the Total Abstinence engine and the
Temperance train which have recently oc
casioned so much trouble. In short, we
have spared no expense U make it superior
lo any other Road to Ruin ever established.
It gives us great pleasure to call the atten
tion of the public to the improvements in
our engines and cars. The old favorite lo
comotive 'Alrhohol has a fire chamber of
double capacity, and patent driving wheels
alter tne lasnton ol old Juggernaut. Uur
wine cars are models of luxurious convey
ance, after the pattern of the far-famed Lon
don Gin Palaces where ladies and children
and gentlemen of the first water can have
all attention. To keep up with the snirit
of the times, our whiskey, mm, aud i..ndy
cars have been greatly enlarged and fare
reduced to half price. Our cider and beer
cars are exciting attention among the chil-
idren.
