WE have examined this valuable instrm ment for grading land, either for hill-side ditches or horizoatal culture, and are well t] pleased with the result. It is a water level with a graduated scale for any required grade, easily adjusted and attached to a straight edged'plank of 16 feet in length-this plank a is placed on the ground, and gives the aver age of all the points of the grade for 16 feet. It was invented by our enterprising friend and farmer, Mr. R. M. FU.L.ER. We invite all c who wish to inspect it to call and see it. THE COUNTRY GENTLEAN. g TtE above is the title of a valuable week- ' ly paper, published at Albany N. Y., by t1 LUTUat Tuccsca, the able Editor of the Albany Caltivator, one of the oldest and s best of Agricultural Journals.

I Tnn attention of our readers is directed e to an excellent article upon the many supe. rior qualities of this improved seed. We I are sorry to dif'er in opinion with our friend [ " RYN.ARD," but so it is; we can not see C any advantage in the Boyd's opening so fast, all at once. We would prefer to have t' cotton open as fast as it could be picked out, ' but no faster. Especially on the red hills t of Cambridge, it would be a serious objec- r tion for all the cotton to be open at once, 3 as the greater part of it would be, before it y could be picked out, on the ground-nankin c -died in the wool. But we know this va- c riety to be well worthy the attention of our C brother farmers, and hereby recommend it to C themi as a source of profit. e Those who wish to purchase the seeds of ii this celebrated cotton might obtain them of Capt. Wx. CARTER, as wve are informed sa that he has a quantity for sale at one dollar n per bushel. They might also get one of d his patent cotton planters, to plant them with, as he advertises a machine of that de scription.c We also understand that the Captain has a large variety of Seed-Cora to dispose i of, knowna as the Tuscarora Corn, price $2c per bushel. Farmers cannot make a better investmnit for the farm than a certain amount yeary expended in improved seeds of every description. - -II AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS. .1 WuNL.s the progress of science, literature, o the arts, architecture and mechanics has, p with giant strides, reached an eminence al- a most unparnlelled, the progress of agriculji ture has been comparatively slow, but sures and evident.I It is a matter of some surprise to see the vast improvement that has been effected r even in our own District within the last a twenty years. n Although the fairmers of a past day lived, s as independently, and probably realizing a fair compensation for their outlay of labor, p yet those of the present day are urged on- h~ wards by a laudablo spirit of emulation, pl prompting each to excell his neighbor in ec somae one or all the various branches of ag. 2 rieultural itndustry, which, tw~enty years ago, na was entirely unknown.I Although the soil twenty years ago was a comparatively fresh, and though the-farmers bi of the present day are compelled to culti- p vate the same land in a state of exhaustion, p aided by a miore enlightened system of sci entifie culture they are actually realizing it muck larger yields per acre, living more com- ti fortably, enjoying more luxuries, and accu- w mulating more wealth. o 'This is the more acrange when it is re- bl miembered that these progressive formers, are it paying more exorbitant prices for land, ne- fr groes, mulee, horses, pork hogs, improved ec cattle, and buying more costly improve ments in the form of agricultural, labor- * saving machinery and improved implements j of every description. Notwithstanding all I this apparent extravagance, the general ap pearance of our farms, with their large and ei comfortable dwellings, indieates not only an Ia improvement in the management of the t farm, but ant unmistakable proof of a cor responding increase of wealth. The science of agriculture, or " Book Parminag" as it is sneeringly called, is doing much for the people, notwithstanding the railery of many am* igoorant " hard-sell' J who still follows in the -wake of his venera- h ble daddy~ It does not, takes a very closet inspection to perceive the attention whioh ill now paid to. the preservaties,. and iimproveinm meat of the soli,. byv tho. use. 0g;ihill-side,- b drains and' horizontal culturo.- 'lventyi years ago, the man that "cerooked his rows I il ,......d the hilW" was the butt of many a I tst upon the muster ground, and had hill do ditches been introduced in that day, e perpetrator of the outrage would have een convicted of lunacy and sent to the sylum to be cured of his wild, erratic no. ons. But a change has evidently come ver the spirit of dreaming fogy-ism and it !ems that " the tables- are turned ;" and iese old-fashioned land-pirates are now just r esteemed as being but little removed from eathenism and the legitimate subjects of ilery and sarcasm.

BOYTS EXTRA PROLIFIC COTTON SEED. Massus EDITOUs:-As planting time is pproaching, it would he well that farmers rrange their plans to the greatest possible dvantage. Some farmera contend that the ost essential requisite in ensuring a good rop is a good stand, either in corn or cotton. 'hat is certainly true; but in order to ensure ie greatest yield per acre, with equally ood stands, it is essentially necessary to lant improved seed-seed that will, from ieir prolific qualities, produce a double ield from the same amount of weed or talk. To illustrate my position: you may plant op-corn and if you gather any thing at 11, it will be a small yield of pop-corn. This 3le will also hold good with regard to mean. r varieties of cotton, wheat or any other eeds. There are many varieties of improv. d cottons, each one of which has its strenu us advocates; but of all the varieties that have yet tried, or seen tried *by others, give the preference to anm immproved cluster otton, well known in many portions of thnis ~istrict, as "Boyd's Extra Proife." A mong ine many claims to superiority whlichm this ariety possesses over all others, the first is, at it can be crowded in the drill, and the wa need not be wider than 30 or 36 inches part, either on np-lands or low-ground. If our stand is thin or missing, it will throw ut branchmes at or near the grounmd, each ne of which will bear a crop equal to an rdinary stalk. This seems to be a provision f naiture and peculiar to this variety-thus nabling it to mature a heavy yield either ia crowded or in a thin stand. In the second place, I do not pretend to sy that it will mature or comnmenee making more early than other varieties, but whlen it oes commence, " Just lay down the plow and thle hoe And throw away thme tiddle anmd bow." or it does certainly make faster than any tton thmat I have ever had any thing to do ith, and when it comimences to open it does s work with telegraph speed. Th'lis I coin rive-to ho a great advantage. It does not pen a fewv bolls to day, a few another day, e commence in July and hold on till Janua r, as is thme case with othmer varieties. Its st, but not least advamntage is, it does not ed tho squares or bolls in rainy weather rin drouth. Thmis is the main secret of its rolific qualities. It is like an old miser; it iakes all it can and holds on to all it makes. 'ough in extreme drouth some of the uuares dry up,yet it does not shed and fall 11 compared with othmer cottons. I might mention its superior staple, its pid growvth and small seed anmong its other ivantages, but those whmo wish to know ore of it, laud better try it for their owtn itisfaction. I hesitate not in sayinmg that, from my ox rience with this cottoin, if planted on good nd, crowded in the drill, in rows at the roper distance, and withm good seasons and altivation, it will produce from 1500 to )0 lbs per acre. in proof of thme correct ss of my opinion (apparently extravagant) give you the net product of a snmall crop, ade last year, not three miles from Camn. -idge. Twenty-six acres produced 44,000 >unds of seed cotton, or about 1700 unds per acre. It has been planted by several persons in e neighborhood of Cambridge for two or ree years, and I have not seen the first one ho does not hold it in thme highest repute. no of these gentlemen, of most~unquestiona e judgment, told me, that he believed that o Boyd Cotton would make, per acre, om 200 to 500 lbs. more than any other ttomn now planted. I think I bad better stop now, for- fear that me may think that I only wish to puff1 oyd's Extra Prolific beyond its true merits. is not so; I only write for the benefit of y brother cotton planters, and having giv them my honest opinion of the value of tis improved variety of cotton they may ke it for what it is worth. But try it, and >. will be very likely to entertain the same inion. R EYNA RD. DORN IARD TO BEA7. HIorL on! "PINEY Woons," and let sss come in for that " turnip." Trho red Us of Cambridge wont giire in to the saud It yet awhile. Thme following is a statement of a crop ad last year by. Jsse DORx on a Cam-. Alathatmeedhbe said in regard to the cul rationl of the said'eropis,.thmat thme land was e..re1 by ,,tmwg a '.1k01l3 a posible,. then plowing deep the firs*t working, not so deep the second working and finished with surface culture. Each plowing was follow ed with a good hoeing, both in corn and cot. ton. There were 120 acres of very old land in corn, 40 acres in cotton, 30 of which were good fresh land and 10 of old land, 5 or 6 of which were manured with stable and lot manure. The number of hands! employed was 12 in number and rated as i 9 good hands. The total amount of the crop and expenses, including provisions, negro clothing and shoes, blacksmith work and iron, Overseer's wages, &c., &c., is as follows. Corn, 2,200 bush. at 75 ets.....1,650,00 Wheat, 175 " at $1,50....260,00 Oats, 400 " at 50 cts.......200,00 Barley, 37 " at $1,00........37,00 Potatoes, 50 " at 50 ets........25,00 Pinders, 50 " at $1,00. ......50,00 Fodder, 25,000 lbs. at 50 c. pr. cwt 125,00 Pork 2700 lbs. at 8 ets.......226,00 Cotton 48 bags weighing (averaged) 388 lbs., making 18,624 lbs., sold at 10 ets................ -1,862,40 Total.......................$4,425,40 Deduct Expenses.......... 1500,40 $2,92500 Equal to $325,00 per hand. This crop would no doubt be easily bea ten in some countries, but those forty acres in cotton, let who will try it, are undoub!ed Iv "Dorn hard to beat." JESSE. For the AdvertiFer. MR. EDITOR:-N ever mind that watch of the Colonel's. I merely want you to know that some of .us in that portion of the Dis. trict (where land is cheap and I consider much under rated,) known as the Dark Cor. ner, have been trying to farm some too, the past year; or at least, I don't think that I have been at play bad (cant boast as "PIN EY Woons" of being from home much,) and I want it distinctly understood that I am not competing for that watch, but think that ! have beat " PixEy WOODs". a little, as the following figures will show. Now, I give the number of pounds of cleaned cotton-you can put it into as many or few bales as you please. Gross proceeds of crop were as follows: Cotton, 34,240 pounds, sold for. .83147,36 Corn, 2000 bushels, which, togeth er with peas, shucks, fodder, &c., worth................... 2,000,00 Potatoes, 300 bushels.........100,00 Wheat, 100 " ,........150,00 Oats, 600 " .........300,00 Cotton seed, 2,300 bushels......35.00 Pork, 700 liis. net,..... .. .. ...560,00 Total products..... .... .....$6,602,36 Gross per hand $550,19. I worked twvelve hands, eight heaid of horses and mules to. gether, and used no guano. Deduct from the above amount of $0,002,36 For feed of eight head of wvork stock........... 600,00 For feed and eloahes for hinds............720,00 For Smithing and Iron.. 36,00 Dr.'s bill for these hands 00,00 Interest on land, negroes and mules.......12,50,00 Total expenses. ..... ... . ... ..2,600,00 Net amount of crop. .... .... ..,0t,3 Net amount per band $333,03 The above is a true statement of the crop made last year on the plantation that I over looked. I can tell you it wvont do to let the grass take your cotton (guano or no guano) if you wish to get the Colonel's watch. Now, this is in the region of the Dark Corner wvhere land rates from three to eight dollars per acre. I broke up my cotton and corn land both with a long scooter or bull-tonague plow, as you may please to call it. My cotton land was laid ofi from thirty to thairty-six inches according to quality, bedded with a turning plow. I run round my cotton with a turn ing [plow, board side next the cotton, and followed with the hoes chopping it out; after which I replaced the bed to the cotton as quick as possible and every wvorking after I endeavored to put a little more dit t to the plant, and by so doing your cotton will-be well formed and mature eaaly. On the. other hand if you work your cotton by tak ing the bed away (as is the case with some) and not replacing it, you may produce a large weed with but fewv forms and these very late. As!I have been more lengthy than 1 an ticipated, I will say but little relative to corn ; but be certain to plowv deep and keep your corn clean of grass until tho middle or the last of June, then sowv broadcast with peas, and under ordinary circumstances you will make a plenty.
