New Ceuea Presa.-We have been in vited to examine, at tire store of d. Hi. Fisk, Esq. of this town, a new Cotton Press, which for neatness, compactness and beauty of operation, exceed any thing we have yet seen. It is the invention of a Mr. Parker, of Saccerappa. Blaine, and it may fairly be said that it needs co im- 4 proement or alteration. It applies a I premure of more than 100 tons to a bale of cotton, without the -applicntion of any other power than that of the hand. and the operation of pressing is performed without the !east noise or inconvenience. The press is a species of rectangular firame, strongly reinforced with iron,n hich rests on one fdoor of the store and extends througb an apertute fitted te receive it in the Aoor above. Below are two doors on horisontal hinges, which being closed,form two sides of the box, or space into which the bale is finally compressed. Here the - bagging to receive the cotton is placedand from thence it is taken, the doors being o. pened. This box or rectangular space, extends up to the second floor, and the whole*space thus formed, is filled with 4 cotton prior t: compression. The efficient i power is composed of two upright wrought iron screws. moved by an appropriate sys tem of gearing, to which motion is com muicated by two cranks. The first movement of the impressing plate under these scrers is comparatively rapid - When, however, a greater power is won ted, a new system of wheels is brought into play by a simple side movement of the crank or axis, where the procros goes on more slowly. Some 6ftcen bales of cotton per day can be packed iu ihis way, without the use of steam or uater power. i The packages formed by it averagc neur 400 lbs. each. and can easily he increased to 450 to 500 pounds. They are by far the hadsoewst we erer saw any where. The freight charged on them is, to New York 25 cts. less per bale, and to Liver pool $1 less than of the sloiOuly packed rond bales. This invention promises to be one of I greatutility. - It is extremely simple and the only obj3ion to at is the expense, which we beliee is about $350. Frns e Cra ia [s. C.] PWier. SasieR Sad Cor.-Very fewCplanters have p1 ' thet attention to ihe selection -of seed for planting, that their own i:.ner .ests demand. It is a principle of vegeta ble as well of animal lire, that "like pro siuces like." Every one who raises good seak, is not only aware of the iruth of thia,'but hueaarrieslt'eut in his selections of animals to breed from.-He selects his fines1 calves and p'gs an~tes them from -the slaughter pen, becalg. being well formed, large and thrifig, i0 .heieves that peir oflsprag will possess these ,ptnlittes. ~ualhough the same thing is true ini the vegetable kiugdom. he seldom thinks of avainog himself of the advantage of aj.lu diciouis selection in hls seed for plantimg. Some fewjrave tried it. and by cure, and ajpicious seleetion, year after year. have Erought their corn to a. high sante of per fection ; and their neighbors, seeing their egecess, have eagerly sought these iin proved seed.. It would do uelI the first -yearebut aller that gradually detiorato go the common standard. and the whu .thing would be pronounced a humbug.' The hambeg, however, was not in the orn gisal improvement, hut in the ,subsequent1 zuegleet. The improver commenced by caefully selecting from his Gield those stalks ~that-bere two fine, large cars, and laya abh~xcarefully aside for planting. Th nestf-ha e d with as much care from thd produc t is former selec tion; and by keepiag up this system. reap ed each year a richer harvest.. Whereas, the other, who commenced with thme neigh-. bor's fine seed, by gatherlag indiscrimni nately into his barn, and salesting his seed ~rmthe mass in the sprinig, would be esikbely to get the ears from &n - inferior ainfraa goed stalk, and thus, his epd would!, by a law of nature, ~detrtorate-to the cosa standard. W lv.hat it is perfectly practica ble' almoinst every stalk bearing two good i m&.eiind where but one would be prtiaed indriinlto the usual method cr selectin, seed. This is not a mere opinion. It has been tried repeatedlyand with entire success, by various persons. What has been called the Dunton, the Cook, and the Williams corn. have al lowed tfieir celebrity to the judicious so - lection of seed fcr a series o years. by the respective gentlemen whose names they bear. True, it requires some little trouble to select every year-hut every planter should have euough of profewssioool p ide in improving his system of husbandry, to take the necessary trouble, especally when he isso richly repaid by an increased harvest. From the Southkrn Cultiraflr. k-rr Es, July 11), 184:1. Dear Jones.-Our farmers have gen erally made w'hent of better quality hi' year, they have done for several years past. The fact wbich I wish made known is, that the crops produced from seed which'hod been soaked in a solution of blue stone, or in a strong brine. and tol led in lime, had no smut. whilst some rrops. from seed with n hich no such pre :aution had been used, nere rendered worthless by smut I raised in my gardcn last. year about talf a peck. of every fine white, flint ivbeat. This I put into Antarated solu ion of salt and water, the night before iowing.-The next morning. tit my ab ;ence from home, my old man began to ow.it (in drills)-on my return I imnme liately arrested him, and made him roll be remainder in dry, air-slaced lime. rf that from seed 1rithout the lime nearly a fourth of the heads were smut, of the 'emainder, not a head. I sowed it on -ether thin soil, in drills about twenty >r 24 inches apart, made with point of 'n ;arlen hoe, covered it li.hily, and spread in the surface a very little fresh statale nancre, cnd covered tho nianure with iowdered charcoal. The eicerdiai cold reather of the winter did not sei to af 'eot it at all. It camie in a firtnighi :arlier than the red May, (tile Coin :ropof the country.) and yielded me, nio0 withstanding the loss of the sinutted leads, hearly five bushels.

I'his may be literally true, but the trouble if hauling the water to the heap. istenfold he labor of hauling the material to the I vater; for it requires wiocthling like 15M i )r 1500 gallons of water to apply to 1000 bs. of straw.

IiILL,-In the Visitor for the 1 monthe I noticed as short article recoi mending bridles without blids. as havi a tendency to prevent horses from shyi or taking rights. I agree with the wri upon this subject, and since my attenti was drawn to It, which was some )e ago. I have remarked that horses, esF eiaily young onesa, are more liable to ta fright with the blind bridle than withol Somn may suppose that the wagon or cr riag has its influence in this, but I thi it is more attributable to the Winds. Sot years ago, I reau in an account of afn E glish traveller in Germany, that the hors in their carriages had no blinds to thi bridics. and lict it: traveling, or wi loads, their head4 were not reined up, b left at full liberty. This mode was a proved by the traveller for the reasons a signed by the.Germans. that horbes are I alit to be f-fghitened n hen they ctan see that their eye-sight is injurcd by blinds e: clding air and light, nud compelling ii animal to n constrained aind unnaturua C: crtion of that organ ;-thcse were the rei sonv assignedi For ihe oihcr peculiaril of leaving the horne's head free, especiall when on the roads wih heavy loads, if reasons are that he works easier whea I can swing his head and adapt it to h Trions. than i hen constrained ; that i msing a hill with a heavy Woad. a horn will bend his uek low towards the groun and that he will pull a load of great weight than he cati do if his head is reine up high, &c. Every one is aware hoi skilful th tiermang are mtianaging cattli and esperinlly horses, amid every laborin man proves thi very great importance r havitig the limbs in a proper position ft the exertion tof muscular pon er. Thus icipole who pull against horse-, or ratih let the horses pull Ugaintst them. have nc so great a superiority in strength as ima ie imagined from these exhibitions < st rent h. It is simply by 'placing then1 se~es in a position for resistance,by whic their muscular 9powers are brought mn Successfully to operate to counteract Ii exertions of the horses. This is we known to anatomist and thoso versed i tie art of perfurinitg these feas. Doe tot the same reasoning hold go--d in hoise in putting iorth their strength ? It ma; atswer the purpOso of a gay, alipearawe fo, cnrriagti horscs of iho.o who rido fi. lieilth n pleasure , but I feel persuade that if our tarimers would use bridics witit tout blinds. 11.J give horses .1 free! us C thcir heads 1-r i wort time.we shoull It. see the pre-et prae:ce agi rccurrei if There i4 zteat. aral it is believed. oft'e tinecessary cruelty practised in what i tertned break:m; eoli.
