Nearly every farmer tbinks he knows all about cultivating cot ton; and notwithstanding nine tenths of them always fail to make a respectable crop, not one of them ever respects that there is the least fauit with the mode of cultivation. but charges it to other things over which he has no con trol. It is impossible to convince a large majority of farners that they have anything to learn about cotton culture ; but the fact there- are few farmers that that always make paying crops whilst the large majority always fail to do it, is the most conclusive evi dence that the failuro results from defective cuitivdtion. As it is now too late in the season to say anything about the prepa ration and manurino, of land for cotton, I will confine my re marks to the management of the crop.ftpr it is plan ted. Kiving pla#ed 4he-- crp it is- rAJAV too late to think of improving its con dition by deep plowing where one has a full crop planted ; for if the farmei undertakes to go over his crop with small plows to improve the condition of the soil, thbe grass will get the advantage of him and far more tEafi hounterbalance the good effected by deepening. his soil, besides cansing him to have to. do very hard and disagreeable work th'rough thie entire season, with a very light crop in the fall as ths; result of his year's un pleasant toil. As sooin as the cotton is large enough it should be sided with a good scraper, but as it is probably out of the power of the farmers for whom I1 write to get this imple ment, the best tingrn their reach is a good turn plow, which should be very sharp and run with the bar next the cotton, with the han-' dIes inclined to the right so as to make the right hand corner of its "utting edge go about one inch deep, whilst the point of t-hc plow merely shaves off the grass bed. The hoe hands sbould .follow with good, sharp steel hoes, and ebop out, or rather shave out the cotton, leaving, it in banches' of about- three or four stalks ?very twelve or more inches according to the fertility of the soil. The hoes should be taken to the grindstone at noon and at night and be kept very sharp to enable the hands to do the work without disturbing the soil about the cotton ; for if the soil is broken around the cotton a poor crop is sure to follow. The after culture should be done with sweeps or some kind of cultivator that will clean the whole row at one round, and should not go over one inch deep under any circumstances; for if the surface roots are broken every time- it is plowed a poor crop is certain. As soon as the danger of dying out is past, the cotton should be thinned out to one stalk in a hill. Be sure to keep your cotton clean with the least disturbances to the soil, and you will be sure to get a satisfac tory crop. The farmer. who pur sues this plan can cultivate his crop with ease to himself and teams, and .keep it as clean as a garden, and whilst neighbors of the "old style" are sweating in grass knee high he will be in a state of ecstacy, singing Happy land. Hlaving tried the above for the last 25 years in cultivating crops of every kind,.I confidently recommend it- to my -brethren of the plow and hoe. The above artic!e in the Rome Jornal, expresses my views as well as my practice of cultivating~ eotton fully in all respects, cxceptt the ads ocacy of baring the young otton when sweeps cannot be ad ringo of the young cotton ("ught to precede the plow, taking the grass out first, which can be done with less disturbance of the bottom roots. If the hoes follow the plow, they will cut so deep into the narrow ridge as will loosen the roots, causing much of it to fall down which must be supported by fresh earth drawn around the plants. Not only is the growth retarded and put back for a week, but one hand can accomplish but little over half work. If the cotton is put in with a seed planter the sweep if prop erly managed, can be made to shave off all the'grass up to ove half an inch of the cotton, but it must be regulated to shave only one inch deep. The scrapers gen erally in use in this section are not of the most improved pattern. The best is fistened to a flat piece of casting, one inch t.Oick by 12 inches square, adjusted to run only one inch deep, wh'ch lays flat on the side of the rcw, and yet the plow to which it is Asten ed runs er.ect as common p*ows. With such a sweep one hand an follow with the hoe and douCe the work that can be done afte. the others now in use. The roots 'of the cotton are but few and ought never to be disturbed by the process of cultivation, if it can be avoided, as the season is short in this latitude, and the cotton ought to be pushed for waid as fast as possible. Hence the necessity of working by the :ime the cotton is up, and keeping it clean for if- it once gets foul then a hand can do but a little over half work, and will not only retard its growth, but will injure the stand and without a good stand a full crop cannot be made. The same rule holds in the cul tivation of 4orn. The roots ougbt never to. be cut if possible, but that cannot be avoided, wholly, as the roots spread out so far and keep so near the surface. After the first plowing, the corn ought to be plowed shallow, and laid by, as nearly on a level as possible. Still breaking the roots when it is young, does not do so much in jury to the corn as that of the cotton, as it has time enough to recover ; but during the last plow ing~ it is all important to avoid breaking the roots, for it then needs ,all its roots to sustain its growth and to hasten its maturity before the drying suns of August set in. Sometimes corn has been plowed late and deep which made a good crop>, rgvertheless. That was owing to the fact that the seasons continued favorable. It is a dangerous experiment; corn ought to. be laid by early, before it is in the shot blade and plowed as shallo w as possi ble as a general. rule. I have made the best corn when the last plowing was given at the time the corn was shoulder high,- -t~bgh the ground may send up a growth of grass and weeds, yet the corn with mature before any ipjury can result. The difuffy Nf ac'comiiishing this arises -from the practice of plant ing too much on the one. hand, and waiting too long before the cultivation commences on the other. The working sometimes should commence before the plants are fairly up, as it will assist by breaking the crust formed on the surface by the hard rains. To succeed wvell, a planter should nevr'>ermit the grass and weeds a to get the start of his plants. On'e acre well cultivated will make more than two acres half worked, even though in tLt final working, it may be thoroughly cleansed.. A stitch io time saves nine.3 (R. 1. MeD., in Southern Home. A clean poultry-house is indis pensable, if the fowls are expected to be healthy. It is a small job to scrape, sweep ,and dust the1 floor and r.emove the droppings twice or- three times a week during feeding time. The droppings should not be stored in the poul-1 try-house, but in a dry place; packed in barrels, and kept for use in the spring.

This Sarsaparilla1a combination of vegetable alteratives--Stillingia,Man drake,Tellow Dock-with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and.is the most efficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure. Its ingredients are so skilfully combined that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still so effectual as to pu.rge out from the system thqse impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived frm its cures, and te confidence which prominent physicians all over the country repose in it proves their experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are con stantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sarsaparilla over every other alterative medicine. So generally is its superiority to any other medicine known that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained. PREPARED BY Dr . .

HOPE FOR ALL! )nsumption is generally supposed to be an trable disease. Why? Because medical , who of all others should have been the last ' acourage such an miphilbsophical and dan- r us assumption, have insisted upon and pro- I ited it with a persistency which seems al t incredible in the light of science ard of h. We used the term 'dangerous'advisedly, ivhat can be more depressing and injurious C ie consumptive than brooding over the idea unded solely upon the fiat of his physician his malady is mortal, and that the utmost 5 can be dore for him is to render his exit .1 i this world as easy as possible. Such mel- C ioly and hopeless reflection a- this belief en-- 1 lers among consumptive patients, does as h, if not more, to hasten their departure for ( land of shadows, as the tubercles in their ,s. Away with such a hopeless theory. r pily tbe'GarAT 3ASTZRS oF MEDICINE entered their protest against it and confuted the most positive testimony the monstrous icy. Dangerous as pulmonary phthisis is, rrible ravages may be stayed and the lungs Dred to a sound condition even after suppu )n has taken place. Every experienced sur i knows that post mortem examinations of i I persons who have died in the ordinary -se of nature have repeatedly disclosed the es of pulmonary ulcers entirely cicatrized. argument, therefore, against the possibility eagg a pulmonary abscess because the -in iate seat of the disease cannot be reached, not a leg to stand upon. Over fifty instances A te discovery of cicatrized icers in the lungs been recordtd by the medical faculty of is, and such eminent authorities as Revinus, I phighi, Du Huen and segres ofothers, French, . lish and German, might easily be eited to re their certain curability. , treat any malady rationally its character k morbid influence must be known. The dis, ing knife has disclosed all the internal char ristics of consumption. We know that tu les in the lungs vary in size from granules Her than a pin's head to that of a large bean. .e develop into open ulcers technically wn as vomical which afterwards spread over rface several inches in diameter. Their sies T dilled with a yellow, greenish, grayish matter trally very offensive.

No il aration known to materia medica accom- 1 lies this double object so effectually and speed- 1 as HOLLOWiY'S CO,GH CURE AND LUNG .SAM. That insomparable remedy loosens liquifies the poisonous and fRtid accumu:a- te s in the lungs and bronclim, subdues with v derful rapidity the inflammation of the dis- 11 d parts, and prevents the possibility of hem- P iage. At the same time it tones and strength the mu.cles of the throat and enables them tt row off the vitiated matter without strain- S The transcendent merit of HoLLoWAY'S i 'Gn CURE AND LUNG BALSAM is the thor- ( huess with which it does its wbrk. Its ifi- f se superiorit) to the multitude of officinal Uc proprietary inedicines, designed for a simi- b u which have preceded it, lies in the g tat it is an ABSOLUTE EADICANT of pul- rI iary and throat dise.ses, while they at the - were merely palliations. It is not alone the preparation dislodges the pulmouic .s, it pos:-e4e balsamic properties peculiarly pied to-soothe the lacerated lung, while by onic. operations it greatly facilitates and b* the healing process. As ay>reventive HoL 'A'S COUGH CURE AND LUNG BALSAM is tly efficacious. Coughs, especially the dry fing coughs which are so common, are tern fruitfu. sources of consumption. The suf r at first has a feeling of rawuess in the at, tightness across the chest, then danger inflammation sets in, which may give rise to orrhage or the formation of vomical, if it is speedily checked and the cough loosened. LoWAY'S COUGH CURE AND LUNG BAM >mplishes this with a degree of promptitude certhinty which astonishes the patient. No of throat, lung or bronchial disturbance resist its curative influence.
