I.d For the Advertiser. Farmer., Attention! Ma. EnTron: If " I am not out of order," I beg permission to call the attention of the cotton.growers of South Carolina, to what I conceive to be, and is a sad and growing evil involving character on the one hand, and money on the other. I allude to the improper packing and putting up of cotton. I have been a dealer in cotton for many years, al most exclusively in that product; and sold within the limits of South Carolina; and I am sorry to say that I have had to do with more cotton thus improperly put up the past season, than I have had in the whole of any three years of my experience.o Therefore you will perceive that the evil is a growing one. I need not say that there is. evident wilfull fraud manifested, by the putting into cotton any foreign substance, such as sand, rocks, seed, &c.,-and last but not least Water which of all, is the most objectionable, from the fact that it is the most common. The purchaser not only losing the weight of the water, but to a great extent the cotton also. Will not some or all of the various Agricul tural Associations, that have been, and are be ing formed in the various Distriots, take cogni zance of this evil. Some of the States have interposed by Legislative enactment. I would much rather that the necessity should not arise here. I have but little doubt that many cases occur through inattention on the part of owners or overseers. The result in this case even is the same to the purchaser; and who most generally comes to the worst conclusion in the premises. There are many who designedly put their cotton up in this way, under the belief that the cotton cannot be traced back to them. I will say to such,-they are under a misappre hension. The shipping of cotton is so perfect in system; that every.bale can be traced from Liverpool back to the planter or the first seller. Under that imprssion, I have no doubt but that many are induced to persist in it. Many sellers- of such cotton have been allowed to pasa for the sake of feeling, when it is traced beyond a doubt, to their door. I say, therefore, in asmuch as the evil is a growing one, the reputation of our State and Nation demands i relief-and right and com mon justice demands it. I trust that the pride of our State will. never be again com promised and humiliated by the record in Liverpool or elsewhere-that a ftaudulent packed bale of cotton cleared from a port in, (or produced in) the State of South Carolina. Then our proud motto will be JUSTICE. From the Farmer and Planter. Thn Horse. Have I made myself understood ? Judi eious breeding is not breeding for looks, but for form, substance, endurance and good quali ty ; and the only way to obtain these, is by the selection of mares and stallioni which will transmit their peculiarities to their otf sprinlg. Blood, although a good thing, is not everything. A horse may have indomitable ~game-he may be able to travel ,a great dis tance in a short time, hut, as the jocekey said, ho may soon "rack his capital out." One horse may be so formed as to move a great weight by merely throwing his own weight into the collar, while another, owing to a de fect in form, would-be forced to an excessive wear and tear of muscular power, to overcome the' same resistance. .A farm horse, or a draft horse, should be so constructed as to do less he is able to do it from his conformation. His levers, and-pullies, and muscle, and joints, must be so fitted, and play into each other like a perfect piece of machinery ; and, what will maike him a fine mover under the saddle, or on the race-course, will not enable him to move a weight behlhd him, except at a waste of nerve and muscle that will soon wear him ont. We have bred to the blood horse so long, in South Carolina, that our horses are generally game enough,but wantingin stamina and in the right sort of action. They are too light in the body, too sloping and thin through the shoulder, too narrow-rumped, and weak across the loin. How are these defects to be remedied ? Not by breeding to every little camel-backed, bull-necked "Kanuck," or French Canadian, that may come into the country ; or to every horse called a Morgan, or a Trotter, but to such horses as are notori ous for getting good colts, and from such mares as breed well. Never breed to a horse of bad tepeor one whose colt. do not work knlfrthese tricks may be trausmit to others from generation to generation, truh a very fine colt. his it that the.Morgan horse has ob tandsuch a wonderful popularity? It is owing to the fact that they have been bred carefully for a purpose, and that they have a wonderful proclivity to stamp their peculiari ties upon their offspring. The morgan is the horse of New England ; he is prized, and has been for a long time, above, all others; he commands alwas a ready sale, at a high fig ure. Everybd breeds to the horse that is remarkable fo-getting the best colts, and he breeds the best mares, because he is anxious to secure a " trump ;" and that is the reason the Morgan, and nothing else. But we must not suppose that because -a horse is a Morgan he must be a good horse to breed'from. -*He should be a good foal-getter -he should stamp his stock upon his colts. Such a horse will always command a higher price in New England than wi are willing to give for him, and for that reason, we will not -be ap o sueedin breeding good horses ui -der our present system. It is miserable policy to be going on in these guess-work experm ments ; and as long as our people will insist upon recognizing blood as the only recuisite or cheapness, we will have a wishy-wasly set of horses, and the breeders in Tennessee, Kentucky, and the North, will get all the long prices for fine animals A few days since, in looking over a Ten nesse rwe were surprised to see as ma ny a sixorgaandTrottin stallions stand ing in the same negbrhoalmost, at $25. In Michigan, bedrs do not hesitate to introduce stallios at such a figure as $2,000 and $3,000; Lad it is worth noting, that such operations pay well, because bree ers are acting upon a certainty-they know they will get an animal that will pay for the trouble of raising him. It costa..no more to raise a good horse than a bad one; and it certainly is bad economy to save a few dollars at the start, to lose a hundred at the end. I am exceedingly anxious to draw the earnest attention of our farmers to the importance of devoting more attentioni to breeding horses. The time is rappidly coming, when we will find it necessary to introduce a mixed husban . ror emigrate. Males and negroes will fo6w the cotton-bales, and the march of the cotton-bales must, like that of "Empire, Westward" have its way. The introduction of railroads will do away with the necessity of much of the mule-power on the plantation, and horses will be needed for light draft, more and more, as social intercourse increases. lmny farmiers are ready to argue that a iiorse abetter than amule i farm work, saw. wagoning, where they are worked and eared for ba carefuzlwhite man. I believe it is true. Ido not believe that the horse is mnuch more subject to disease than the mule, If properly treated; nor in the popular doc trine, that he is shorter lived. Under good treatment, he will perform almost double the work, and do it kindly. Much of the preju * duce against the horse originates from a com iarison with the inferior animal We have bred the best mares to the best jacks, and the worst mare to the worst horses, as a geeral rule.

How to Preserve Wheat in a Southern Climate. bin. EDITOR :-I have been concerned in a Wheat Mill for the last t wenty years, and-i to the best of my judlgmsent onaetourth of the en tire ca'op of wheat is lust every year.hy bad management, anad one-half of the baaltnce more oar less injured from the same cause. I will give you nay pratctsie on the preservation of Wheat. Wlheat should naot be cut too greetn neither should it be too ripe-if so, there will be considerable loss by gathering and shatter iug out. Wheat should be bound up when cut in small bundles and well shocked -in small shocks to dry. At the ex;.iration of eiht or ten days at most hanul it in and thrash packed in houses to lay any time beflire hrash mug is liable to get abused by rate anad white weavils. Wheat when well sunned should be put up In barrels or boxes not too much in a place. If put up in large quantities it is sub ect to heat and the black weatvil. I am told to spread it on the floor does very well. -Neve put covers over wheat thinking to keep out raw for you can't do it-they are certain to cut in and .abuse your Wheat. The best and cheapest plan to prevent injury by rals, its to leave the boxes containing the Wheat entire ly open ; and keep a good supply of Cats about the premises and allow them free access to the granaries. Wheat injured by rats, weavils or heating, spoils the flavor of the flour, and is a great loss to all concerned, by which the consumer suffers the most. Every six weeks at most, I runa my Wheat through the smutter to give it air ami cleanse it of the insects that accumulate ina it. A good fan will answer the same purpose if the nilating bottom is lined with screen wire to convey thec wheat from the fan, the insects will fall through and of course will be separted from the WVheast. In 1852 at the time my Miills were destroyed by high water, I followed this practice anad had a< good flour from wheat three years old as the clay it was cut. A MOS W. OSBORNE. Fowl IManure. No manure obtained by the farmers is as valuable as the manulre fronm the pmu!try house. Of this there is no0 qu~estioan, and yet we can hardly answer the qusestiona "ina what way is it best to use it?"' The manaure its ade only in small qnatities, anid it may be that as a general thing much of it is wasted. t may be thrown witha other manure, muck ad refuse on the compost heap, but our plan s to save it for speciai purposes, and we gets' erally use it in the vegetable garden, where it s not only valuable, but exceedingly conavenil at. When dry, it may be sown with onion r other seeds in the drills, at.planting time, dd four or five- quarts put into a barrel of ain water makes a most superb liquid manure for any beds of'young plants that need stim. lating. In this form we use it for our melons ad cucumbers, as soona as they appear above round, to put them out of thae way of thae 'bugs," and on beds of c'abbage, eauliflower lants, &c., for the same purpose. Celery lants, after being set out in the trenches may e hurried up amazingly by being watered w3 or three times a week with this liquid food. If magnificent sweet corn is wanted, half a pint of the dry, hen dung, finely .scat. tered in each hill, will give it, and no mistake. you have been able to grow only hard, hot, ormy radishes, next sprmag sow the seed in very shallow drills, (not too early) in a warm, heltered place, then cover the- bed with a thin rssing of coal ashes, and water with the iquid hen manure each alternate night, and if the season is as favorable as ordinary, you will have no cause to repent the trial. A lit tle charcoal dust is better than coal ashes. ural New Yorker. There are seven reasonas why farmers are healthier than professional mess, viz: 1. They work more andi develop all the eading muscles of the body. 2. They take their exercvae in the open air, ad breathe a greater amnounit of oxygen. 3. Their food anad drinaks are comnmonily less adulterated and far more simple. 4. They do not overwork their brain as muh as industrious professional men. 5. They take their sleep commonly during e hours of darkness, and do not try to turn day into night. .6. They are not so ambitious and do not wear themselves out so rapidly in the contest 7. Their 1leasures are simple and less ex hausting.___ ATDOTE FOR RATJ.sNAKE Poso.-The Tdcal Journal says the following is an in Falible cure for the poison of a rattlesnake Four grains of the iodate of potash.
