Thia in u very important question, now that labor ia su buurce und au high iu the cotton Slates. During tho I ist season I made enough oats to lust six i"Utes lour mouths, with un outlay of tibont 320 for aced, ploughing in ami cut ting, not. tu. estimate tho cotton ?red which more than paid for itself in the i nero ito J veg utuhle en nell men l uf the soil. The bailie uliioUfit of coro Niid fodder mudo on tho land Would luve coat fuur times as much, the cotton seed would luve been a clour loss, half uf it boiti'i evaporated by tho process uf betting and kilting gonn ; the other half lest, in tile cl eil ii culture aysteui utoetsary to make corn. lint, ia not the out oiop very uncertuio, particularly us to getting u alauu't Aut ny any means upun uur plun. Jiy applying a gund coal of cotton aced, a* much aa you have lu spare, fruin fifteen tu fifty bushels tu the nero, puffing the seed with them, and turning all in together with u turning shovel, you limy BOW any time fruin Ootubcr to February, und never fear uh..ut a ata?d. Thu depth uf tho aced, together with the janith produced by the fermentation and rotting of the cotton seed, prevents the freezes from killing them out while in the sprout; and planta by thu manure prevents freezing eut after wu rda. Upon this plan also the whole uf thu uitrogen and other volatile mutters tire 'suved iu this' soil ; while tho pinn -A' heating coltuo seed, and applying to the corn in thu spring, evol ves a large per cent of these importa nt gases. Tho advantages uf thia plan tu tho laud over that uf the cultivation of corn is i in menso. Fur fifteen ni o ni I is the plow duos not interfere with the soil. Every Hvinjr plant ia ullwwed to grow, and mature, und decay, except tho outs, which you cut und take from it, leaving all tho roots sud stut bl . behind, which are luxuriant from tho elle eh. f tho cotton seed as ure the weeds and grass, which come up in tho Bpriug. The amount uf humus actually created for th ; next cottou crup would quadruple thut h ft after coru. And when it is remembered that, us u gehend' rule our worn out soils re stored to them, viz : humus, nitrogen, an J phosphoric acid, in order td make productive, mid when the two latter are furnished in every good fertilizer, while the funner cannot be, tho wisdom of a plan which makes the most humus to make cotfuti, and the must hume fond with the least labor, is appureut tu overy intelligent iniud. I throw uut these auggestions to the plan ters uf the South that they may uct upon them if they choose, for I um well convinced thut it is the only plan by which they can Improve their lands and gather repeated crops of cotton from them. The rust, which uf late years is acting so disastrously, ia owing, i uoubt not. greatly to the luck of humus in the soil. We must then either rest bur lands ur KOW thom in sinai! grains.' Oom abd tot ton forma a had rotation, as both of them are humus destroying plants. 1 have no doubt that upon tho plan above indicated, a planter may gradually improve his laud, and gather a remunerative crop every year. Tho effect nf cotton seed upon outs is moro remarkable than even on corn and wheat. Ky sowing a large.acreage uf, oats,' less oom Would bo requisite, und any good ainmoniuted fertilizer ?ill supply the place of tho cotton seed'fur oom ; ami, in ease of ? drought, pru duce better results. The outs is u boult nier* fond for hornes and nuiles during tho summer than corn, MS I h ive well assured myself, and will sustain them about UH well. Tho black Outs is tho hardiest and much tho most pro ductive. $ M. PENDLETON.
