This, sen- tleman having made a fortune by .his skill in farnuug &c( I have been in duced to believe his experience is good. His fallings are confined in a close pen; well supplied with water, weeds, corn stalk i and a variety of trash, so that while he is making meat he makes an immense amount of manure. I was assured that one hog, if kept in a pen twelve months and well supplied with 'litter," would produce twenty good loads of manure." This will make corn and pumkins enough to raise two hogs the following year. Let him that re adeth understand. '.' : P. 3.

Mr. Ed itor; As the time for housing potatoes is a' hand, it may be good that your readers snotua nave some light on the subject of keeping ' thetn in a - sound state. It matters not where or how you house your potatoes, in a few days after houseing they undergo a kind of sweat ing, which renders the whole place damp where' they are; 4ind in-many ca ses they begin immediately to rot. .' Air holes are often made to potatoe house", that this dampness may escape. But! have found, from the experience of the observing, that these: air holes are often ineffectual Une remedy is never known to fail. Build your house . in a dry place tight and capable of turning the rain. After the ; potatoes have been housed about one week build a smoke. and shut the door, leaving a full amoke in the house.".; Let this be repeated once a week and your potatoes, if dry when nousca, wui never roL- rr. BY THE, WAY. Plymouth,' Sept. 2, 1845." . ,y - i CAUTION.- Many farmers often lose stock," such as pigsy tihee cattle" &4. Sometimes the loss ot such stock is ascribed to t distemper, when in fact a local cause exists. But to find out that cause, there lies the difficulty.

' It armears from the Scrt ember num ber tf the Southern Planter, that a successful attempt has been made to cultivafe'the Chinese tea plant, by Mr. N. Puckct', of I,ynesviHe, Granville county, Mr P. has saVed a quantity of the seed, which he offers for sale. with directions how to manage it. He finds that the plant nourishes .hand- somety in our soil and climate, and makes excellent tea.

THE COTTONCROP. -The Mobile Advertiser, contains a fetter from correspondent, giving his views in relation to the new crop ot t ot- ton, and the prospects of the Planter, from-vhich -r-wr TmttkeThFahnexed extract, deeming it a matter that much interestsvnany r. XslZ :ouT'Xeaacv:Tita Advertiser endorses' its correspondent, who writes 'from Marengo, (Ala.Y as one of the most intelligent planters of that State, and says that his means of information are. at least, equal to those possessed by any other writer on the subject ..This -Wiitctr assumes , that there is certainty that the present Cotton crop will fall short of that of the last year, but not in the proportion that most persons ' affect to believe. He says:'-f'-- !.r ' ' s Let til examine' the '. account. All the statements from Georsria and Car ol inas concur in renresenthiff the crop not more than half of the last yew's. But this is an unheard of falling off over so large a surface, and for- an approx imalion to correctness we will assume thst the deficiency will be one-third say , XQOJOW bales. In Alabama and Mississippi the crops will not be equal, or wiU hot reach a full average. Hav ing, seen the crops in several counties in eastern Mississippi ' and . western and middle Alabama, I am satisfied thnt the black or lime lands, and the creek and river ' bottom plantations will yield well, but the light sandy land crops have Suffered ' verysoverely from long drought, until it is now too late to recov er. This class of plantations cannot make ' mpre than., two thirds, and in many cases not more than one-half the usual production t A large portion of the middle and eastern eounties of Ala- li.m nrtil vmirti rJt intiiAr anil nirfK l era Mississippi come under this head; but as the bulk of tha crop from these two - 8ta tts- 3oes -net depend, on this quality of soil, it would be fair to as sume that the" deficiency In these two States cannot be mora than one-sixth part say1 ,150,000 bis. Thus' far de duct the above amounts' ' from the last year crop of 2,400,000 bales, and we shall have 2,050,000 bales. But Lou isiana, Arkansas, and Texas will tin donbtodly send to market an increase of 100,1)00 baleswhch wDV give Us for tha crop of the. present year in the U. States 2,160,000 bales, or 50,000 bales less than the lastcrop. Now if the de mand i for yarns s and manufactured goods should continue unabated through the year It will be found that the con sumption has far exceeded that of any previous one; .which . taken in connec tion with anv diminution of production in the staple, will doubtless enliance the price in proportion to the addition of these differences, and we may expect. after the facts become known, to obtain for the growing crop something like 8 cts per lb. This , is about, the lowest price for which the staple can be grown proutaDiy.. 4 uut u the large demand for yarns ., should -a cease, or owing td the scarcity of the grain crop in England, provisirtns should become high,- and the manufacturer be forced to dismiss his hands r. work short time,1 then We shut ba defeated m realism the ad vance so much desired. ' The idea that we shall make but half a crop,' and, get It),' 13 and 1 cents, ' as we hear pro- claimed every day, is as fallacious, and the announcement of such results tends only ta deceive ourselves and prejudice the great interests of the South: BUYING A HOUSE.

' REAPING MACHINE. A letter from Geneva, " New York, to tlw Journal of Commerce, fcives an account of the farm of John Delafield near that place,' and says: ' "He was in the midst of harvest, and had already gathered about GO acres, and what .is. still, moTo wonderful this has been done without ihemdjof eithrr cradle rot SickliJ7ITe has a machine, sent him from Maryland, which is the must expeditious reaper 1 ever saw.

"All seeds (says - the Southern Ag riculturist) keep better in their seed vessels, but this can rarely be done, on account of the great space occupied. As soon, therefore, as the pods of cab-bageSj- turnips, radishes, fcc4 f tnr& brown, and a part become dry, the stems should be cut and laid on a cloth or floor to dry, and afterwards threshed ouV and hung up in bags in sone open airy place. : Lettuces should be pulled up with the roots, as soon as there is the least appearance of matu rity and hung up, and - the - plants will ripen all of their seeds, nearly at the same time. If left in the garden to npen, me earnest ana nest win oe lost; in fact,. except -under very favorable circumstances very few will be obtained, as every shower and every strong breeze" will lessen' the quantity, and scatter those which are' matured over the whole garden. The same course should be pursued with leeks and on ions. It is a prevalent opinion that the bnsh squash cannot be perpetuated among it", as such have a strong ten dency to run, and will in one or two seasons become a vine. This is a mis take, and originated, no doubt, in the manner of saving the seed.
