JOURNAL: "As time for cotton planting is near at hand, I will try and give your readers some of my experience with cotton and its cultivation. A thorough preparation of the land is essential for a good cotton crop, and the more thorough the pr4paration, the better will be the reaults. All lands intended for cotton should be broken up in Janu ary and February in order that all the old stalks and vegetable mat. ter may have time to decay before planting time. Should any part ol your land break up in elods, and re main so until the middle of March, run your sweeps over the land wher it would be a little too wet for the plow, and you will have a nice turn seed bed. Land broken up early, causes the grass seed to germinate near the surface and in bedding you kill out the earliest grass, and gel the start. The earlier barnyard manure is put~in the better, either broadcast or in the drill, only twc furrows should be thrown upon it, in order to give a fresh bed for seed -by splitting the middles just be. fore planting. Cotton rows should be laid off ii proportion to the strength of the land: say from two feet nine inches, to five feet. I believe more cottor is lost by having rows too wide that too narrow. Guano same as barn yard, only it should be put in au near planting time as possible. - I've never derived any benefit fron second application after planting. A good stand is very essential without which you need not expeci a good crop. The less seed sown *[if a stand can be obtained,] th< better; for cotton stainding thin ir the drill before being chopped out is less liable to lice, will not di4 out as much, and will grow off bet ter, and make more cotton thar when sown thick. No plow shoalk ever be permitted inside of a cot ton row, after the cotton is planted except a sweep. Barring of cot ton, I've no doubt, has cost ever' farmer who has done it, one-fifth o his crop annually. In barring off the lateral roots are cut, all thi dirt is taken from the young plants the winds blow it down,- the rain! 'wash it up, and it is impossible fo: the plants to grow, until'the ta] roots extend below the furrow cu by the plow, and then one-fifth is .covered up by the plow in trying to dirt it. My plan is, to have in' beds as fresh as possible at plantini time, to let my cotton come up be fore the grass; start my sweeps [Dickson] as soon as my cotton i: up, then side as close as possible not to cover the cotton entirely up The consequence is, the first rail washes the dirt (down around th< cotton, covering the little sprigs o grass, if any, and leaving a ridg about two inches wide for the hoe and hands willechop one-third mnori land thus treated, than any othe way I've yet seen, and leave tih cotton standing up, and the latera roots undisturbed. - lways chop to stand the firs (time, ie matter who says "blocki out." And take pains and get ou every sprig of grass the first timt . and be sure and break the crus and pull it from the cotton. I'v had farmers to ask me 'why I wa so particular about having the crus brohen and pulled off. They~ though the plow would cover up such place You can't plow sufficiently clos the first time to cover up such place without covering the cotton, an then yon countenance hands wh are disposed to slight their work a bad sign on the farm. I woul not thank a man to block my col ton, nor would I give one cent fc any machine to do it. Cotto choppers and cotton pickers havn yet been invented, and never wi .be in orr day and generation You will have no trouble in pick ing out, and your expenses will b( one-third less than the old way. Try it and report. FRANKLIN. April 8d, 1874. THE DRY EARTH PROCESS IN THE POULTRY HOUSE. The dry earth process can be applied in a way peculiarly valua ble to the farmer and gardener. Ia this country, poultry are kel t by everybody who owns land, from a rood to a rui. But how few of us have an idea of the value or the quantity of nianure that can be made from poultry. I have a pile just now, as good as guano, as I have every reason to believe, that filled the dray three times. I should say it -weighs over two tons; and all this has been gathered out of the fowl-house from some 50 fowls, 17 ducks, and 29 geese, young anI old, since August last. It was made in this way: Five loads of dry, good black soil were dumped into an empty stall in the stable during last winter-in June. I believe. This earth is used for va rious purposes about the house wherever it is needed, that is the order. It very naturally came in to use in the fowl-house, to keep down the ammonia that can be sme.led at some distance during wet weather. Next it was found that it was easier to spread a few shovels of eaith over the floor of a morning than scrape up the place, as we had been doing all these years. The idea that we were making a very rich compost-something very like gu ano-followed some time after the earth-spreading commenced. Then we laid on the earth as thick as it was necessary to keep the place per fectly dry. The change is some thing to be sufprised at, and it pleases everybody concerned with the poultry. Fully one-half of the dry earth has been absorbed there, and in'turn it has absorbed every thing it came in contact with. The mixture has nosmnell whatever, and after beingbroken and chopped with the spade is agreyish powder. As I haesaid the heap is over two touns, and is sufficient, if I am any judge, to manure an acre of wheat, bar ley or oats.-MoRG AN, in Queens lander, (Australia). 'WATERING PLANTS IN SUMMER. --Plants growing in the open ground ~and fully exposed to the sun, are fre Iquently ruined by the very means taken to save them-by watering in hot, dry weather. Generally, merely the surface of the ground is wet, and Ithe moisture soon evaporates, leaving the soil dry and hard--almiost imnper vious to air as well as to the dews. But this is not the only, nor the greatest evil which results from the slight watering plants get. The temnporary,superficial moisture causes the roots to seek the surface. where, in the intervals be tween the waterings, the heat anid drought destroy them. and the plants become stunted or die outright. The, remedy lids in a more thorough irri ~ation and in a different mode of ap Splying the water. In the case of young trees and large herbacious plants, the best way is to care~fully scrape a way the soil around them to the depth of an inch or two, forming a shallow basin into which sufficient waiter should be poured to moisten well the ground as deeply and as widely as the roots extend. When the wa ter has soaked in. the dry earth should be returned, which,. will prevent a speedy ev:apora~tion. Among sm~all plants, which can not be treated in ithis way, make holes with an iron rod or a sharpened stake several inches in depth and fill them with water which will thus reach the deepest roots. (Rural Carolinfian for June. - PLANTING SWEET POTATO Srs, ~:OR '-DRAws"-It is well to take ad vantage of a rainy day for planting if you can, but plant whether it rain or ntWe have planted in the mnidst of severest drought with the loss of very few plants. 'Grout" the plants by plunging the roots into a batter composed of erqual p:arts o.f fresh COW dang, wood ashes and vegetable mould, emixed with water to the proper con 5sistency to adhere to them. This will tgenerally insure a perfect 'stand,' t and hasten the growth of the vines.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly has a curious paper on the origin of the dollar symbol ($). In brief, his theory is that the two parallel upright marks may be traced back to the pil lars of Hercules, and the S-like figure is the scroll entwined around them. According to tradition, when the Ty rian colony landed on the Atlantic c est of Spain. and founded the an cient city of Gades, now Cadiz. Mel earthus, the leader of the expedition, set up two stone pillars as memorials, over which was built a temple of Her cules. As the temple increased in wealth. the stone pillars were replaced by others imade of an alloy of gold and silver, and these two pillars, became, in time, the emblem of the city, as a horse's head became that of Carthage. Centuries later. when Charles V. be caine Emperor of Gertimny, he adopt ed a new coats of arms. in which the pillars of Gades or Cadiz occupied a prominent position in the device. Hence, when a new coin, the colonna to, was struck at the Imperial mint. it bore the new device-two pillars, with a scroll entwined around them. This coin became a standard of value in the Mediterranean, and the pillars and scroll became its accepted symbol in writing. The two horizontal bars which cross the symbol of the English pound ster ling are also thought to have a similar origin. In the same paper the sym bolic origin of the pillars of Hercules is traced far back into the remote era prior to the dispersion of the human race from its Asiatic birthplace. They are identified with the household pil lars of the Scandinavians. and the idea from which the concrete embodiments spring is to be found alike in the Sanscrit Vedas and in the glowing imagery of the Hebrew poets. They are the symbols of day and night, or light and darkness. which to the dawn ing intelligence of the Arian races, were evidences of the Omnipotent, and, to the Jewish pa,triarchs, tfie work of a revealed Creator. Josh Billings says: I will state for tho information of those who haven't had a chance to lay in se cret wisdom az freely az I hav, that one single hornet who feels well can brake up a whole camp meeting."
