We also take the liberty of stating, for the benefit of the Members of our Dis. trict Society, that the President has in pos. session some Patput Office Seed of various kinds for distribution. Those who wish for these improved seeds will do well to apply as early as possible. FULLE's LAND LEVEL. W x have examined this valuable Instru. ment for grading land, either for hill-side ditches or horizontal culture, and are well pleased with the result. It is a water level with a graduated scale for any required grade, easily adjusted ad attached to a straight. edged'plank of 16 feet in length-this plank is placed on the ground, and gives the aver. age of all the points of the grade for 16 fe0t. It was invented hy our enterprising friend and farmer, Mr. R. M. FULL. We invite all who wish to inspect it to call and see it. Mn CuKnY SETLEA'i.

Tat attention of our readers is directed to an excellent article upon the many supe rior qualities of this improved seed. We are sorry to differ in opinion with our friend " REERDrr ," bat so it is; we can not see any advantage in the Boyd's opening so fast, all at once. We would prefer to have cotton open as fast as it could be picked out, but no faster. -Especially on the red hilla of Cambridge, it would be a serious objece tion for all the cotton to be open at once, as the greater part of it would be, before it could be picked out, on the ground-nankin -died in the wool. But we know this va riety to be well worthty the attention of out brother farmers, and hereby recommnend it to them as a source of profit. Those who wish to purchaso the seeds ol this celebrated cotton might obtain them cl Capt. Wx. CaARR, as we are informed that he has a quantity for sale at one dollar per bushel. T'hey might also get one of his patent cotton planters, to plant them with, as ho advertises a machine of that d~e scription. We also understand that the Captain has a large variety of Seed-Cora to dispose of, knowna as the Tuscarora Corn, price $2 per bushel. Farmers cannot make a better investment for the farm than a certain amount y'early expended in improved seeds of every description.__ AGCIItITUI.IL FROGRESS. WVunLK the progress of science, literature, the arts, architecture and mechanics has, with giant strides, reached an eminence al most unparnlelled, the progress of agricul tomre has been comparatively slow, but sure and evident. It is a matter of some surprise to see the vast improvement that has been effected even in our own District within the last twenty years. Althoiugha the fairmers of a past day lived as independently, and probably realizing a fair cempensation for their outlay of labor, yet those of the present day are urged on wards by a laudable spirit of emulation, prompting each to excell his neighbor in somte one or all the various branches of ag rieultural industry, which, twenty years ago, was entirely unknown. Although the soil twenty years ago was comparatively fresh, and thtough the farmers of the present day are compelled to culti vate the same land in a state of exhaustion, aided by a more enlightened system of sci entifie culture they are actually realizing much larger yields per acre, living more com fortably, enjoying more luxuries, and accu mulating more wealth. Tbis .is the more .erange when it is re. membhered that these progressive formers, are paying more exorbitant prices for land, ne groes, mules, horses, pork hogs, improved cattle, anid buying more costly improve. ments in the form of agricultural, labor saving machinery and improved implements of every description. Notwithstanding all this apparent extravagance, the generat ap pearauce of our farms, with their large and comfortable dwellings, indicates not only an improvement in the mianagement of the farm, but an unmistakable proof of a cor responding inerease of wealth. The scionee of agriculture, or "Book. Paring" as it is Snerinlgly called, is doing much for the peop4, notwithstanding the railery oeinmany a. ignorant U kard-sheR" who still (ollows in the - wake-of his venera ble daddy It does net' taide a very close inspection to peaceive the attention which .is now pai to, the paieservatiea. and timprove. mient of the soils. hey tho- use. ok hil-sido drains andt horizontah culture. 'Jliventyi years ago, the man that " crooked his rowvs ...o...d tke hilIk" was the butt of many a jest upon the muster ground, and had hill side ditches been introduced in that day, the perpetrator of the outrage would have been convicted of lunacy and sent to the asylum to be cured of his wild, erratic no tions. But a change has evidently come over the spirit of dreaming fogy-ism and it seems that " the tables- are turned ;" and these old-fashioned land-pirates are now just. ly esteemed as being but little removed from heathenism and the legitimate subjects of railery and sarcasm. For the Adverfler. MEssRs. EDITORs:-As we live in a poor country and are compelled to use manure of some sort, we appeal to you for some information on the subject. We wish to know something about Guano, both the Peruvian atd Mexican. Please inform us which is the best for us to use at the present prices; and also the mode of applying it on cotton land-that you intend planting the present year. Also on corn land.

For the Advertiser. 30YD'S EITRA PROLIFIC COTTON SEED. MssMs EnTros:-As planting time is approaching, it would he well that farmers arrange their plans to the greatest possible advantage. Some farmers contend that the most essential requisite in ensuring a good crop is a good stand, either in corn or cotton. 'That is certainly true; but in order to ensure the greatest yield per acre, with equally good stands, it is essentially necessary to plant improvedl sced-seed that will, from their prolific qualities, produce a double yield from the same amount of weed or stalk. To illustrate my position: you may plant pop-corn and if you gather any thing at all, it will be a small yield of pop-corn. This rule will also hold good with regard to mean. er varieties of cotton, wheat or any other seeds. There are many varieties of improv ed cottons, each one if which has its strenu ous advocates; but of all the yarieties that [have yet tried, or seen tried 'by others, I give the preference to au improved cluster cotton, well known in many portions of this District, as "Boyd's Extra Prolife." Among the many claims to superiority which this variety possesses over all others, the first is, that it can be crowded in the drill, and the rows need not be wider than 30 or 36 inches apart, either on up-lands or low-ground. If your stand is thin or missing, it will throw out branches at or near the ground, each one of which w-ill bear a crop equal to an ordinary stalk. This seems to be a provision of nature and peculiar to this variety-thus enabling it to mature a heavy yield either in a crowded or in a thin stand. In the second place, I do not pretend to say that it will mature or commence making more early than other varieties, but when it does commence, " Just lay down the plow and the hoe And throw away the fiddle and bow." For it does certainly make faster than any cotton that [ have ever had any thing to do with, and when it commences to open it does its work with telegraph speed. This I(con ceive-to ho a great advanitage. It does not open a few boils to day, a fewv another day, or commence in July and hold on till Janua ry, as is the case with other varieties. Its last, but not least advantage is, it does not shed tho squares or boils in rainy wveather or in drouth. This is the main secret of its prolfic qualities. It is like an old miser; it makes all it can and holds on to all it makes. Though in extreme* drouth some of the squares dry up,yet it does not shed and fall off, compared with other cottons. I might mention its superior staple, its rapid growth and small seed among its other advantages, lbut those who wish to know more of it, had better try it for their own satisfaction. I hesitate not in saying that, from my ex perience with this cotton, if planted on good land, crowded in the drill, in rows at the proper dIstance, and with good seasons and cultivation, it will produce fromn 1500 to 2000 lbs per acre. In proof of the correct. ness of my opinion (apparently extravagant) I give you the net product of a small crop, made last year, not three miles from Cam bridge. Twenty-six acres produced 44,000 pounds of seed cotton, or about 1700 pounds per acre. It has bees planted by several persons in the neighborhood of Cambridge for two or three years, and I have not seen the first one who does not hold it in the highest repute. One of these gentlemen, of mostunquestiona ble judgment, told me, that he believed that the Boyd Cotton would make, per acre, from 300 to 500 lbs. more than any other cotton now planted. I think I had better stop now, for fear that some may think that I only wish to puff Boyd's Ex'tra Prolific beyond. its true merits. It is not so; [ only write for the benefit of my brother cotton plasters, and having giv en them my honest opinion of the value of this improved variety of cotton they may take it for what it is worth. But try it, and you, will be very likely to entertain the same opinion. REYNARD. HorLD on! "PINEaY WooDs," and let JESSB come in for that " furnip." The red hills of Cambridge wont give in to the saud. das yet awhile. The following is a statement of a crop made last year by. JassE DORN on a Cam Allathatmneed 'be said in regard to the cul tivation of- the said'crop .is,.thtat the land wvas prepared by plow-tg a .lo1nl' as nossible. then plowing deep the first wvorking, 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 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 t.... .1,650,00 Wheat, 175 " at $,IAO......260,00 Oats, 400 " at 50 ets.......200,00 Barley, 37 " at $1,00.....-..37,00 Potatoes, 50 " at 50 cts........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 cts.............. - - - -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 undoubted. lv " 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 tbt some of .us in that portion of the Dis trict (where land is cheap and I consider mudh 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 "-PINEY Woovs" of being from home much,) and I want it distinctly understood that I am not competing for that watch, but think that I have beat " PiNEY 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 " ...........----.150,00J Oats, 600 " .........300,00 Cotton seed, 2,300 bushels.......34500 Pork, 700 ltis. net,........ ... 560,00 Total products...............$6,602,30 Gross per hand $550,19. 1 worked twelve hands, eight head of horses anti mules to. gether, and used no guano.

I can tell you it wont do to let the grass take your cotton (guano or no guanio) if you wish to get .the Coloniel's watch. Now, this is in the region or the Dark Corner wihere land rates from three to elabt dollars per acre. 1 broke up my cotton and corn land both with a long scooter or bull.tong'ue plo0w, as you may please to call it. My cotton land wias laid off from thirty to thirty-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 oul; after which I replaced the bed to the cotton as quick as possible and every working after I endeavored to put a little more dii t to the plant, and by so doing your cotton will-be well formed and mature eat ly. On the other hand if you work your cotton by talk. ing the bed awvay (as is the case with some) and not replacing it, you may produco a large weed with but fewv forms and these very late. As I have been more lengthy than I an ticipated, I will say but little relative to corn ; but be certain to plow deep and keep your corn clean of grass until tho middle or the last of June, then sow broadcast with peas, and under ordinary circumstances you will make a plenty.
