COTTON.-Remember there is a tax still upon cotton, while all other agricul tural products, except sugar, are untaxed. It is folly, ""therefore, to' run mad upon Cotton-cultivating that to the exclusion of food crops, and then * find in autumn, all the net proceed* required to pay bills for corn and meat, that should have been produced at home. After the plantation has produced all the forage and provisions required to sustain it, then make and sell all the cotton you-can. The most. suc cessful m an we know, of-all the cotton growers of 1866, in planting twenty years, has never?bought a pound of.bacon. But as market products, if there was rio draw back in taxation, rendering a return of profit precarious, there; are na crops like cotton and sugar. If thc weed and seed is returned to the soil as it should be, rf an acre produces' a bale of 400 pounds, there is only a trifle' more- than 4 lbs. phosphates and other necessary salts re moved from the soil j while the Northern farmer, who sellai from-the -same area, a ton of hay, sells "over a hundred weight of these nutritions salts. Both-sOgarand lint cotton are almost entirely pure Car bon, and their constituents are chiefly de rived-from the atmosphere. If the soil is kept from wasmrrg- and is rich to start with,-sod all its products, except cotton, consumed on the farm, and the manure made returned to the soil, a very little outly yearly for commercial manures, will render the plantation richer every year. So of suffer." For cotton, us weil as corn, the prepafa tion shonld-be deep and thorough,- and the crop should, be manured as for .as pos sible with^^mpost^^r ^coinm?rci?l iria nure?r-, Th?-lot-manure should, ere-this, have been hauled out and turned .under. Redding with a turrrrng plow is'the best preparatibir for receiving the seed. The bed need not be high, unless where the ground raf mclmed to;be wet."'

Sorghum; or- " Chinese Sugar Cane,'" now ra,ttks as one of our indispensable crops, and shou^ be pianted^Gr?y; l&rgely and every where-.Tbp price of cane sy rup and cane sugar-is.^^hjghi^hjit sorgh um is largely grown m the Middle and. Western S^itesv-notwiti^^ .^arietY of- other crops-and is found verv prb^table. Sugar .will ' b"??? high, tho fc sbrghum will be a.standing crop foi-years to come. A crop of" syrup-cane and ripe seed, and an after crop of good" forage, can easily be made from the same roots' if the seed is planted-Wry tarty-say a few days after corn. Preparation^ plant ing, and cultivation precisely the same as corn, except-that the seed must not be covered sa.deepiy,, and the stalks shonld\ stand in 3 ..or 4. foot drills, five or six inches in tfie drill. Prepawsj^ also, for ? large erop ot Sweet Potatoes, by bedding Out your seed, ma nuring- .heavily, and. throwing: up deep, mellow and broad ridges. Potatoes are not half as much grown as they deserve. Go in for a big crop! A'A'^?H?I manure, for this plant, is cotton seed and asprink-. ling of ashes. By havbg the ground manured and the ridgee thrownr up yon can plant out the ""drawswiis' ff?ias^hey ' grow large, enough, taking advantage of every spare hour. No -matter" how dry ' the weather rs-^a*--KUle '"grouting" or M pudding" of the roots,' or the usej?f a gill of yater.for each " dcaw" \sill insure you a good stand. . ? - -. . Sorghum, Cora in the 'driH;- Egyptian and other Millet, Hungarian grass, and all valuable annual grasses or fora<*? plants, should be largely cultivated this year; so that our Iforsfes? ?ules; ?milch cows, hogs, ??c., may have an abundance of sommer and winter food.

Prepare the land deeply, manure well, plant on ]ow.beds, just wide enough- to cultivate-between, and srjw in drills. - It tak?s, we believe j 5 to 7 lbs; p?r acre, if"carefully sown. Maich is tile best month for sowing. [ If you have failed- to secure a good stand of-clo ver, sown with wheat,' re-sow. | the bar? "places atf^nce7sc?tt?rmg*it upon the surface.

JtMs not necessary here to do any thing generally, iii the way of protecting thc fruit, before thc last of?J I March. It. is the late March and April frosts that arc to-be.feared..~Jt is a-dense .smok?j'-not beat, that?s- required.-. ~\ : v> 1 Prepare some fat lightwood, split up very fine, also some billets of dry "wood, cut quite short, all kept under cover until needed. . Prepare also, in advance, piles of w?t'tari, chips, saw dust or other damp combustibles, where fires.are most, likely J I to be needed. ITie-wdodshouid be dis-' tributed the evening previous^ About two or three o'clock in the morning, have~ all hands up and start fires, about*two or three rods asunder,'-al^oveT-vthe-or'chard,"" tn? windward ones being nearest. Three jor four sticks are required for each fire, which*, when weil started, should have n stick or two of green wood added. ' Then put on and nearly smother the fire with the wet tan or trash. If. ?ny'p?le breaks out into a flame, apply more trashy to "keep up, frota dampened, smouldering fires, a curtain of moist, ' heavy smoke Over the trees, until the sun is well up; and the frost fully extracted. f The-smoke from fires of dry wood is so light," and rises so rapidly in a cold-, frosty night, that it really affords* no-protection, while that from damp material, loaded with moisture, hugs-the ground and dissipates very slowly. If your fruit is frozen solid before you begin, while you are at work, I do not despair, but make all the smoke you can, "and as light a protection as it ! seems, looking, through-it when the sun is rising, we have had it ?o fully proteot the frozen fruit from rapid thawing, that the frost was all extracted .-withoiit injury to the fruit. In our first trial, we were about giving up in despair,\ the cold was so in cense at day-break, but o?t success was perfect;. At this place, the fruit is very seldom, jndeod^-destroyed before April, in which month not moro than one or two frosts are to be 1 expected,, and, against these it is well to provide.-r-?Southern-' Cultivator^ if. < . --.-i-??????- ? : ????
