5lgvirultural \ BEST TIME FOB CUTTING TIM-" ! BER. j As I have some experience in cutting timber, and calling myself a closo observer c of such things your numerous reudors may ] place full conlidenco in my rules for cut- j ling and deadening red limber only, for I i bhall say nothing of sap timber. The vory best time fur cutting timber j for all purposes, is in the months of July , and August; and if you liavo not time at | this season of the year, to cut your timber , it will be full as well, and perhaps better, ' to deaden what you intend for ibo next , years use, and in so doing, bo sure to cut | to the red. By following this rule, you ; will tiud it advantageous in many ways. 1 j Timber tbns treated, will last longer, will , season quicker, be lighter to handle, free i ; from the attacks of worms, and when manufactured into barrels, kegs drc., will not I be subject to the ravages of bugs a familiar enemy, supposed by some to be a worm, but is a small brown bug, about , me fourth of an inch iti length, ami | makes its attacks in the spring mouths, i , Besides the above advantages, timber I treated in this manner will burn much more roadi'y than4!*cut in winterer early spring. The practice of cuttting early limber in February should be condemned, for, at , this season, the sap is more generally dif- | fusel through the tree, and sap is the I bait for the bug and worm ; hence the importance of cutting or deadening your t timber whilst the sap flows in the surface, < and tlii-* is proot against their boring fur- j tlier than through the white or sap.?

Turner, J Llsq , n resident of the Slate of Georgia ( has written one of the most valuable works on rotten culture, and the coinjiletc J history of that product of (lie South, which has yet einanaleil from the pr<**s. We leun that the Now York publishing house of Saxton d; Co. are now sending o!f copies daily by mail, tint.great int< re*t ' in this cotton subject making the cmnpiiation of facts in tlie book very useful to all interested in its growth. Its history for twenty live years, is a most inter- . outing chapter. , The United Stales is now not only the largest producer, but the 'argest eoiisumei '| of cotton. Our production has advanced \ wi.h such rapid stiides that wo have dis- -| tanced all compelitois. The cotton goo Is ,j worn by our people exceed now the Htnouut used by Croat Britain an 1 all hei dependencies in the four quarters of the globe ; and the demands ofour nianufae -j lories have increased wiih much greater s rapidity lhau those of any ether country in the world. In twenty years, our average . i >p ha* increased lioiu 84J.OOO bales, to 2,33 1, 000, or nearly three hundred per cent,? If the period of twenty -live ycai.*, fioiu 1 ' 1823 to 1830, be divided into live equal 1 intervals, the increase fur- each will be * found to be 27, 07, 38 and 1.7 per cent. ' In the same time, the production of ad ' other countries lias only risen from 383,- j 000 to 410,000 bales, having absolutely u declined, hi the past five years, over 10 por cent. In the first period of live years, i " the crop of the Unite I Stales constituted 68 per cent of the whole; in the second, j 11 74; in the third 77 ; in the fourth 80 1 \ and in ?!o> I'll 1 * u 4 .. .? -t 1 I' . ~ lUkU) w* 1'VI Will VI U1L whole. As our bugs have increased '* very much in weight, and are now much '' larger than those of other countries, 1 our advance has been "till greater, aiul our rank still higher than those lig- ' ures indicate. In the same twenty years '' the deliveries to our iimi'Mfaclopes have 1 advanced 325 per cent, viz. from 127,OUU s hales to 531),UUO, while in the same time, 11 the advance cf <7 re at lJritain has been e only 125 per cent, viz, from 003,000 to 1,17 ji,000. In each ono of these periods, our rate :t ofprogiess lifts been more than twice at l' rapid as hers; uu<l though the absolute 1 amount of our consumption is yet far be ' low that of the English manufacturers, yet " iu t**e last live years of the periods named c' our iucretae has been 176,000 bales, v while tlieiis has been only 180,000. In ' 1850 our consumption was 37 per cent, of * ihe English, while twenty years before it ' was only 10 per cent. Franco, during all ' this period has remained stationary.? ' Twenty years ago, her coiiMinfption was v 267,000 bales, nought ?"'y 303,000.? 1 In tlio last live yours she has gone bar hward, ibo decline having amounted to '' 58,000 bales. From 1825 to 1&30 the 1 deliveries of her manufactories were douL- " Jc those of the Uunited States, iu 1850 ' " they were 33 per cent, less than ours. In f' Spain, Belgium, Germany, Holland and Ilussia, the increase has bomi nearly a-- '' rapid as in the United Stales. In the r live years ptior to 1850, tfseir advance c Was 46 per ceut., ours 40 per cent. Al- ( though Great Britain regime* for her manufactories more than half of all the Cotton worked up in Kuropo and America , the amount actually used by her people, < ii including all'bat is exported to India, n British America, Australia ami all ilie fi colonial dependence * of Great Britain, is ; a loss than the amouni itswl in the United > States. This Ji as been shown to l?o true | ? for the four years from 1840 to '50, ami h the year 1850, although it exhibits an ap- g parent deciine in our home consumption, fi forms no exception to this result ; the o large imports of cotton goods into our s seaports compensate, m part, for the 1*1 < h ling elf, in tbo requirement* of our facto- s ries. 1 If we compare the proges* in demand it and supply, it will be aeon that during the p five years of '43 lo'5U, the increased con- ? Sumption lias been 19 per CCUt.. while the il "increased production stands only at 0 ? 'J bo average amount taken by the manu si faolnrera Irom 1840 to 1845, whs ?.414,- a 000 bales, and from 1843, to 1850 '2,809,- p Oof) bales, showing an increase of 405, k 000 bales, while (be supply advanced tl from 2,50 l,uOO bales to 2,791,000. an in- ti crease of only 830,000 bales. When it p is romembercd that the last period cmbra- ll cm the year 1 H^S8, when, from the isvoJu- a (ions in Europe, the consumption declined u pyar 000,000 bales, and the year* J845 a 0 % ml 1840, when tlio American crop eo xeceded its usual average, this result >u more sinking and important. At md or 1 844 the cotton on hand in Kor vns 1,11)1,000 hnleR. At the end of 1 t was only 010,000 halts.
