WE ACUOWLEGE TIE CORN.
Wz hereby return our thanks to Col.
Jons HumET, President of our Agricultural
Society, for two ears of the Canada Prolific
Corn. 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.

1015 EMTR1 PROLIFIC C0TTON SEE.
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.

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

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.
We would like to hear something from
our friend Dr. H. B. of the piny woods.
By complying with this request you will

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.

JESSB come in for that " furnip." The red

land in corn, 40 acres in cotton, 30 of which
were good fresh land and 10 of old land, 5

employed was 12 in number and rated as

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.

The above is a true statement of the crop
made last year on the pllantation that I over
looked. 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. DARK CORNER.
