HANDLING CO'l ION.
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.

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."

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

Cos.-Farmers are too negligent as . ->
o the kind of cows they keep. There
re many cows which do not pay to the.
iwner the fixpense of keeping them. and
icasion an annual lose. 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 -
