As you say, the subject of Cotton but 00 readily suggests itself to the mind of very southerner-and while we may flat er ourselves at having arrived at some do ;ree of perfection in the cultivation of the rowing plant,' there is one point we must ill acknowledge has been too much tie leced hv.onr planters. I allide to the mandling'of Cotton after ii is mado or gath ~redl from the fields. The article advises he systenlof throtcing Cotton int lorge nles into exdgiau as soon as picked, in irder to undeipo ,he process of heatiug. It entends that it diffuses the oil of the seed at. she iint4-therehy producing a rich co o and morasubstantual fibre. This is an portanlt point in the handling of Cotto"' md the viewa of the writer are so differ iant from my own, that I cannot refrain rum niferingynn some objections to it. I -egard thissystem, a., nfortunately for tr own isterest, but too much in prac ice at preseti. .The low condition of our ~ouom marker, at the present time parti larly, calls for a reformation among our lantets, and urges upon them the nieces 1ity of sending our erops for sale in a bet er condittii, Much can be said upon this subject; toomuch is required, for mec to itempt ittj present, and I shall content yself mtl* by stating my views in re alion to the system above alluded tio. I do n'ot- think, then, that the color of cnoth is imsproved by heating, but it is a erious injury In many respects. It is true some becoimes more yellow; while some ssume a blnish cast, consequently not niform-nd even that which dbos be rome more yellow, does not preseut the bright liveIf.eolor so much desired. We ll know that diae is more or less dlirt or ust in cottbnS when berought from the fields; by eating, this dirt stains the Cotton, or rather caUSeaS It to assusme a dingy, dull appearalce in contrast with the natural, lively, bright, cream color, which it exthi bits wheadded upon the scaffolds. The ibre, 'O~1s * 'ured-loses its elasticity anti tre ylib esae dead and heavy in appearabI admit that it gins more readily,li. Isthat not an evidence of lust stregd10 %5stend too, that the sun, when it u~~dupon the scaffolds, wtil draw tI4a f nthe seed, dissipate the ...,te, anti.I-'s the oil in totheo fibre, much bettor than can be accomplished by heat from mointure; the dust will be sha ken out, or if noi, will become so iry as not to injure the cotton before it reaches the gin stand, wlwre it % ill be. or should he, entirely sparated. Cotton which has been heated in piles, will gin easicr and faster, but not so well-will be torn off from the seed in large fla&es which cannot be separated by the brush, each fibre to it self, which causes it to present that card ed appearance which aitracts the fancy of the buyer. These are my simple rean-onm for believing that is thorough course of %'a - i4l upon scaffolds in the stan is the better plan of producing a perfec article for mar ket., By the one process we obtain an ir regular yellow color, dull, lifeless. dingy cotton-by the other a rich, lively. bright cream color. with inore elasticity, a-s is plainly discoveredl at the press, by those who have tried it. The writer above al luded to. is also deceived in anotL.er fact. lie assigns, as a reason that the sun de stroys the, color of cotton, the fact, that colon picked immediately after opening has the richest color. This is true-and it loses its color by exposure to the dews, and not to the sun. So, aM. cotton pick ed early in tho season has a richer color than that picklod late, and that i4 owing to the sun having more power-dis-.ipat M! the noisture before it has timte to b!ear, the cotton. These reflections I havo hastily thrown together-and they are now at vour dis posal-should you deim worthy ofis& tion tn he Southern Planter, I may from time to time give you tmy views in relation to.other points in the system of handling Cotton. Very respectfully. yotrs. &c. I1ALLER NUrT. Laurel Hill, Jefierson co., Apr. 22, I142. Home Labor.-WVe copy n ith plea,ure from the P'ittsburg American the following notice of a successful effort which has been made in that city to manufacture cast steel from native iron. We hope that the en torprise of the parties concerned in it will meet its appropriate reward I of the zrngna ursicur. a ,na m u .as., ticle made from the first attempt ofmessrs. Shoenbegers, made ofSteel, and leaves no reason to doubt of the perfect success in this important manufacture of an hith erto untricd branch of trade in his country. It is but of late vents that this steel could be welded to iron, but now when the pro cess of this is simple and universally ui derstood, tile cast steel supiceded all other kinds for almost every kind " edged tool. The success of Messrs. Shoenber gers will add a now and very important item to the manufactures of our country, and is is a fortunate circumstance thai the great wealth of this firm will enable thiem to carry out their experinmegt-a to that full completion. so necessary to the success of all new and great improvements. Caloin'.-The following extr.a is from the lectures of N. Chapman. M. D., Pro fensor of the Institute s and Practice of Meuicite in the University of Pensylva nia, locased in Philadelphia. lie thus dis courseth on the use of calonel: "Gentleie:- If you could -tee what I almost daily see in tmy private practice ina this city, persons fronm the south in the very 13at stages of wretched existence. rmaciated to a skeleton; with hoth tabiles of the skull almost completely perforated in many places; the nose half gone, with rotten jaws. ulceratedt throats, breaths more pestiferous, more intolerahlo than poitaoneus upas, limbs, racked with thte pamns of the inquisition, minds as imbecile s the pulling babe, a grievous burdetn to themselves, and a disgusting spectacle to others, you wouild excl aim, as I have often done, 'O!' the lamentabtle watnt of science iat dictates the abuse oft that noxious drug,. enomel, in thbe Southern States.' Gen tlemen, it is a disgraceful reproach to the profession of medicitne; it is quackery, hor rid, unnarranted,. murderous, quackcry. Wh-it merit d1o gentle.men of the south flatter themselves they possess, by being able tat saltivate a patient! Cannot thte veriest faaol itt I.'hrustendomn salivate-give calomel! But I will ask another question. Who is it that can siop thte career ouf mer cury, at will, after lie ha-s taken the reins in his owen deostructive aitd iingovurunble hatnds! H~e who, for an orditnary cause, resigns the fate oif hIs patient to ttercury, is a vile enemyv tol tho sick; and if he is tol erably popular. will, in one successful sea s.n, have paved1 the way "or the business of life; for he has enough to do ever after nardi to stop the mercusrial breach of te constitutions of his dliliaptidated patients. He has thrown him-self in fearful pro'cimi y to death. atid has now tn fight him as long as the patient maintains a miserable existence."

"-Judge, the fellers are all here non let's open court!" said a man in a cai-c suit, (shirt, pantaloons and jacket) as t..i door was thrown open, and some iwelve . thirteen promisecuous looking personsi wc: marshalled into the old barn. It kaa, about noon-day, and all te turnmg had been tiruanentaly obscured i-y a -img shower. The complainnit, delfedant. witnesies, and all in any way connected nith the case, had travelled seven miatles to find this only spot in a large region where justice was assumed to be under legal distributiou. Into the county court room they came, all soaking wet, and nearly every man with the stump of a bad cigur in his mouth. Two or threo were very drunk, and lay right down on benches and boxes about the place, to go to sleep. Oue man had tbought enough to kindle a fire. gathering such material as ntas at band, and around this the rest of tte party gathered to get themselves partialby dry. It was a September day, and itlough not very cold, a dry jacket was more coutfoirtable than a wet one. "Wh'.'perns the case?" said the Judge. as he turned over an empty box made to carry dry giods. and lying aseless it a corner of the pilace. A fellow -ttaudiug before the fire, turned round andl sai, --Why Judge. if you mean that dry goods case, it is open already!" Tleu there was a laugh. and as the Jugde sat down, aaother man asked him if he was goiug to keep the prioner's bor tAll to himtselff The deputy constahle then said ** be d--d if the court should'nt be k iu order," ordering, at the same time, B Bruce to give him a cigar. The counsel flir the plaintifnext ~cam rurward, and was commencing an eloquent addres. when ile Judge stopped him in a familiar way, expressing an immediate uccessity for a chew of tobacco. "I does'ant ehew, Judge," said the attor-. o go to aleiep Itgdin. An old 'ow rtooaed lte door ope and :ime gruntIa; into court. surrounded by ler brood oh sluealling pigs.

It costs go more o keep a cow that will average nine or ten uarts a day than one that will average unly six or seven ; and the difi'erence in mounat would in the course of the year me a handsome profit. If we estimate tho -ost of keeping a cow at twenty-five do! are, we shall find that ir a cow gives sir guarti per day, the Loss in keeping will bo 24 75. If the yield is eight quarts per lay, then the profit will be about 5.5. If he milk is ten quarts per day, the pronit will be $11 75. Now is the time to as -ertain whether your cows arewot teeping not ; and thte farmer sho'jld look well to this part of hts husbaodry.--EbC - ay Cutirator.
