Mzssms. EDITORS -In accordance wvith my
promise in my articTe on guano, I propose
giamg: yot my views on the culture of
cotton.
The etton pkant -is not easily suited in
soff and climate, add it seldom happens that
they are soeombined as to perfect the plant..
'Ilhe best coon lands are of a deep, rich,
soft mould, a medium between the spongy
and sandy. The most important part- of the
eultivatios consier in a judicious and proper
preparation oP the soil. for planting. All
eotton lands should be-. broken up deep and
elose, at the inte'st by January; it would be
better to have it done in November or De.
cember, but picking out generally prevents
i&. Plough deep, dhe deeper the better: use
subsoil as much as possible; even if your
land has been in cotton the year previous,
break it up deep, at least one foot.
About the 25th of March I prepare for
planting. I lay off my rows from 32 to 36
inches wide. Cotton should be so planted,
that when it arrives at maturity the branches
will slight interlock on every side. I layoff
these rows as deep as I can with a shovel or
scooter from two to three inches broad, the
plough is one- half inch broader at the point.
I then drill my manure as regular as possi.
ble. I follow with a turning plough, laying
on two furrows, raising the bed as high as
possible; I then break out the middles. If
the land is low, I draw up the bed with hoes ;
with a small, narrow plough- I lay open the
bed, making a furrow of uniform size and
depth. A- careful hand follows, strewing
the seed evenly in the furrow, always using
enough to secure a good stand, about three
bushels per acre. I cover with a bond of
hard wood, an inch or inch and a half thick,
seven or eight inches broad, and a foot in
length, slightly notched in the centre. This
board is screwed on the plough foot, and
when drawn over the row covers the seed
nicely. If the ground is well broken up
and the seed well planted, half the labor is
done.
As soon as the cotton is up, I commence
thinning out, leaving bunches from 8 to 12
inches apart, passing along rapidly with hoer.
I follow with a small shovel, running close
to the cotton, p!oughing very deep and
throwing up a little light soil to the roots of
the cotton. This ploughing, too should be
close and deep, so that the roots may easily
penetrate the soil, as they strike deep into
the earth. If the ground is very rough the
ploughs should precede the hoes.
In the second working, which should
follow as soon as possible, the plughs go
before the hoes. This pleughing also should
be deep and close. I now bring my cotton
to- a stand. This should be carefully done
and the hoes attentievy watched, as a stand
is often ruined by this wvorking. Sore shin,
rust, &., are often chargeable to the way in
which this working is done. I nowv leave
one sta&I in every bunch- hesetofore left,
making my cotton stand f'roms8 to 12 inches
apart ?I throw a little dirt to the stalks of
cotton, and leave the crop clean, free of
grass and weeds. The cotton will then
grow off finely, and not suffer for work for
twventy or twenty-five dlays. Every sub.
sequenat ploughiing should be shallow and
not close, sufficient, howvever, to cover all
the small grass that may have sprung up
since the last ploughing. The hoes should
also pass over the crop, killing such grass
....ad weeds as the pluughteannot reach. It
is difficult to say how often thne crop should
be ploughed, as that will depend a good
deal upon thne season. My rule is to keep
the crop clean of grass and wveeds, and to
keep the earth well stirred up untill the bran
ches interlock, or the cotton commences to
open. The two first ploughings should lhe
deep and close, the subsequent one shallow.
1 use the sweep, bow, t wister, side plougle,
scraper and the old fashioned shovel, in my
crop. The selection of seed is also a mat
ter of great importanco. But 1 must close,
for fear I tire you.
JonN P. KINAF'D
How To nE A GOOD FARxER-Here is
the secret alf good farming. You cannot
take from the land more than you restore to
it, in some shape or other, without ruining it,
and so destroying your capitanl. Different
soils may require different modes of treat
ment and cropping, btut in every variety of
soil these are the golden rules to be ob
served : Drain until until you find that the
water that falls from Heaven does not stag
nate on the soil, but runs through it and off
it freely. TIurn up and till the land until
your foot sinks into a loose powdery loam,
through which the air and heat will readily
penetrate. Let no wced occupy the place
where a useful plant could possibly grow.
Collect every particle of ma~nure that can be
obtained, whether liquid or solid. Let noth
ing. on the farm go to wvaste. Put in your
crops in that course which experience has
shown to lead to success in their growth,
and to an enrichment and not an impover.
ishment of the land. Give every plant room
to spread its roots in the soil, and leaves in
the air. And, in all your operatifne, en
deavor to be a little ahead of your neigh
bors.
FARM AccoLNTs.-No person can become
a thoroughly .Akillful and successful farmer,
who does not keep accurate accounts of all
his farming operations, that he may knowv
precisely the amount of profit or loss on
each of his experiments,. and consequently
which to adopt in his future movements. It
is true,. he may by shrewvd guessing and a
keen memory, form some estimate .of the
most profitable crops; but to comprehend
accurately at a glance, the precise amount
or expenditure through all the multifarious
operations of a -whole season, for even a sin
gle crop, would be almost as difficult as to
undertake to decide,.by means of the mnemo
ry solely, the profits of a hank or railroad,
and to divide thne proceeds by guessing
among the stockholders..
Valuable Receipts,
DowNI~co's CEMEN'r,. made by dissolving
shellac in alcohol, has never been surpassed
as a shield for covering the wvounds made by
pruning trees. All wvounds upon trees should
be covered with this composition.
H OME-MA DE VINE A R.-MiX with three
gallons of soft (rain) water, and one quart of
molasses and one pint of yeast. It will fer
ment and turn to vinegar in four weeks.
To CURE WAR s.-Bind a leaf of house
leek, from which you have removed the
skn, upon a wart a few nights in succes
sion, and then see where your wart is.
To MEND IRoN POTs.-Mix finely sifted
lime with some white of eggs till a thin kind
of paste is formed; then add some iron
filings. A pply this to the fraeture, and the
vessel will be foud to bo nearly as somnd
as ever.
ConN BREAD.-A Newo Recipe.-Every
body who has been at the Mansion House,
a Bu..lor.i Y.V has learned the luxury of
the corn'bread there provacu. The d-en
is often taxed- to write directions for home
manufacture, and. I thus procured a recipe
for domestic use, which I copy for .you, so
that those who w:ish may try a -piece o1
bread from the Mausion. - It is as follows
" One quart. of sour milk, two table spoon
fulls, of - saleratus,- four ounces of butter
three table spoonfulls of -flour, three eggs,
and corn meal sufficient to make a stiff bat
ter.-Exchange,
Murocasionally, one part of salt witf
four or Ave, of wood ashes, and give it tc
your stock of All kinds during summer ane
witer. It promotes health aud growth ma
teriaffy. Green and fermentable food pro
doces flatulency, and this mixture affords :
remedy. It is said that if horses are liberal
ly supplied with salt and clean wood ashes
they wid neither be troubled with bots noi
colic.

CUNNINGHAM
rriiE UNDERSIGNED having given a further trial to the .CASH SYSTEM during the
L at eason, have become still more convinced that it is the only true system of doing a
GROrCERY BUSINESS on terms advantageous to both seller and buyer, being the clebpest,
safest and surest for both. While the seller is benelitted by getting the CASH PAID DOWN
for his Goods, enabling him to turn his money (over many times in the year, the buyer has the
advantage of getting his Goods
Ten or Fifteen per CentCheaper
Than they can be obtnined from those who sell on redit ;.'they being compelled to sell at this
diffi'erence of per centage to cover bad debts and pay the additional expense of keepinig and col
t lecting long accounts. It only requires a little reflection, aided by a slight examination, to con
vince those who visit Hamburg for the purpose of purchasing SUPPLIES, that the Merchant who
deals exclusively on the Cash System in purchasing his Stock, lays it in cheaper than those who lay
in large Stocks on credit, with a view to selling them out in the same way, being enabled to turn
his capital over only once a year, must of course get larger profits to sustain his business, than
him who on the Cash system, buys moderato Stocks, SELLS QUICK and TURNS OVEII his
capital every thirty to sixty days. The intelligent planter will perceive that the CASH SYSTEM
Meichant will have made more money at tho end Elf the year, by makimg FIVE rP. CENT rnOFIT,
than the credit system man will at TWENTY-FIVE, and that those who buy Goods had better bor
row the money at home, and allow even fifteen or twenty per cent interest, and pay CASH for
his supplies, than to pu'rchase on time even from the best CREDIT HOUSES.
The Undersigned having made ample arrangements to keel) on hand a LARGER STOCK,
and much better asortment of
ALL KINDS OF GROCERIES
Than they did the past season, only ask of their friends and others visiting this market, to give
them a call, where they will find, in addition to FINE FAMILY GROCERIES, a large

Saddlery, Hats, Shoes, Calicoes, Shirtings, Sheetings, Blankets,

ure in calling the attention of customers to our superior
Teas, Sugars, Coffee, Cheese, Molasses, Flour, Bacon,

MOST STARTLING CONSIDERATIONS I
Reflections for the Thoughtful.
Strange that countless human beings exist and
drag through life as do the beasts of the field, or
the insects of the earth, evincing no more thou;ht
or reflection than though the noble faculties of mind
were not vouchsafed to them.
Many such are husbands and fathers, upon who
are dependent the health, the well-being, and *he
happiness of a confiding and affectionata wife, with
perhaps a family of children.

[n that pitiabhle condition as not even for one day to
feel the happy and exhilerating influence incident
to the enjoyment of health.
She may not ho an invalid confined to her bed,
or oven to her room'; as her pride, ambition and
energy induce and nerve her to take personal
charge of her household, even when her health wiD
not admit of it ; but she is nevertheless perceptibly
sinking from day to day, and always ailing.
Thus, day after day, and month, after month tran

THE BLOOMING BRIDE,
Buit a few years ago in the flush of health and
youth, and buoyancy of spirits, rapidly, and appa
Irently inexplicably, biecumes a feeble, sickly, de
bilitated wife, with frame emaaiated, nerus n-.
Istrung, spirits depressed, countenance bearing the
impress of suffering, and an utter physical and
mental prostration.
Sometimes this deplorable change may and does
arise from organic or constitutional causes. But
oftener, by far oftener, to gross and inexcusable
ignorance of the simplest and plainest rules of
health as connected with the marriage state, the
violation of which entails disease, suffering and
