tr? reh and Cubaver Than Lard.? i s fho New York Times is very deeply { impressed by the frank admission of Mr. Philip 1). Armour, of Chicago, that tho uie of cotton seed oil iu the manufacture of lard and hog products has grown to such an extent iu late years "that his establishments alone consume one-fifth of the total cotton oil product of tho Uuitcd States." Taking this coufessiou in connection with the further statement volunteered by Mr. Armour that tho American Cotton Oil Trust, 'which now coutrols almost tho entire busiuess of making oil from cotton seeed, ' has entered the field ''as a lard producer," tho limes was impelled to an investigation which has yielded some inter estiug results. ' It, has been ascertained, lor instance, that a ton of cotton seed yields from 35 to ( 40 gnllous of oil. and that 500,000 tons of j seed were crushed in 'he mills hist year. The total oil product, therefore, was be- . twocn 17,500,000 and 20,000,000 gallous. Mr. Armour admits that he uses in his lard factories aluno onj-fifih of the total amount, or from 3,500,000 to 4,500,000 ( gallons annually. Another largo quantity must be used by other uiauufactucrs of lard who compete with Armour & Co., since the business is so firmly established on this basis, as has been shown, that the American Oil Trust, which has hitherto supplied all the lard-makers with oil, has i itsolf g >uo into the related "industry ns a | matter of course. The Timrs docs not understand that , cotton seed oil has any injurious effect ( upon those who cat the lard into whLh it , so largely enters, but is indignant that the f adulteration should be imposed upon the | consumer. However wholesomo the mix- . turo of lard aud oil, tho Times rightly ar- , guos. it is not what it protends to be, and j tho consumer who pays for the cheaper j product the p. ieo of the more expensive ar- j tielo for which it is sold, is plainly swindled . iu the traoactiou. t This is true enough, aud wo assuredly , havo not a word to say in defence of the ( onoruious fiaud upon the public, which has ( thus been cxposud. Xor have we any idea ^ that the exposure ulouc will havo the slightest effect upou the wholesale fraudu- ? lent practice complained of. Tho cotton ? B^cd oil is '-very much cheaper than lard," ( and there is too much money iu tho mix- ( ture to permit its manufacture to bo vol- , untarily abandoned by tho corporations , whom it has enriched. Its value to the ( lard makers may, indeed, bo estimated froai tho fact that the new company, with Mr. Armour at their head, propose to erect at once about twenty-five new mills for the manufacture of the oil, to put ?10,000,000 into the enterprise; and have openly avowed their intcntiou to held all the stock' of tl^cguugauy in their own hands, aud re uervo iuc wuoio product of the mills for | their own peculiar uses! It may be confidently assumed that these interesting facts would not have been divulged, but lor the querrol between the ( Trust Coinpauy and the lard makers and ( mixers, llad the Trual Company coutined it-> sphere of operations to making the oil j and selling it to the lard men, the awind- , img of the cot ton seed producers and of the ] consumers of lard would have gone on iu- , dctioitely, to the satisfaction and profit of both the great monopolies, at least. Now that the rogues have fallen out, however, aud havc made their secret known, tho part of wisdom, for the press, is evidently to turn the knowledge thus acquired to the host possible advantage of the public. llow this may be douc is very plain, and wc would earnesly direct the attention of the Times, the World, and other papers which have taken up tho subject, to the piacucai ami ucncucnl lesson which the monopolists have taught so convincingly, ami which ouly requires to be set plainly befo:c the people in order to enable them to protect themselves in the most effectivo way. The Times docs not understand 'that the cotton seed oil has an injurious effect "upon those who cat it." Our contemporary might have said a great deal more than this. The World is nearer the mark in the statement that cotton seed oil "is a good, clean, vegetable product," and a val- . uahle addition to tlu> resources of the coun- ( try. A great part of the exported product goes, as is well known, direct to the olive oil producors of Europe and comes hack to ( this country in the shape of'pure olive oil,' to be used l'or all the purposes for which olive oil is used. Jly very many people in the South it has long since been substituted wholly for lard for all cooking purposes, at a great saving of expense and with satisfactory results in every way. Wherever the two are tried side by side, tho cotton seed oil turely wins its way into pernia ncnt favor, and, dispite the manifest difficulty of overcoming old notions and c fleet- i ing so decided a change in tho economy i of the kitchen, its sale and use in placo of < lard is rapidly increasing every year. I There is no doubt, then, about the cot- \ ton ee d oil being a clean, pure and whole- | some substitute for lard. What is of equal < importance to poor people is that, besides < being very much cheaper in price, it is I more economical in uso, a given quantity of the oil ' going as far," rn cooking, as ^ double the quantity of lard. What the | Time* and tho World and other newspaper* 1 should do, therefor.', iu the present omer. ;cney, is to bring these certain facts to the ii knowledge of consumers. Tho lard uian- ii ifacturotH have plainly demonstrated and g widely advertised to tho whole people of d he United Suites that cotton seed oil aud n ard can bo used together lor all purposes j for which lard can bo used alone. Let tho \ newspapers now couviucc themselves and 1 their readers, as ban readily be accotu- f plished by strict investigation that c Ti c* Inrd nan iut loPr nnf nf ilto m!v_ v .ure cutirely to the Advantage of the cob- t miner, mid there will be no need of legis- c ation or any other means to break up either I ho lard swindle, or the cotton seod oil inon- t ipolios which propose to maintain it for t heir own oxclusivc profit. a Management ok Soils.?A soil would icvcr get exhausted if managed with skill, jut would cotuiuue to improvo in depth ind fertility in proportion to the industry icstowcd upon it. The food of plants, it is '.rue, may be exhausted from the soil by a . repetition of cropping with auy one family af plants, if wo neglect the application of such fertilizers as may havo boon taken from the soil by that family ; but no part of tho growing season is required for the soil to rest, or lie faljoiv, if judiciously managed by a successive varying of tho crops, or by supplying-to them such food as may be a compensation for what has been taken oiF by the previous crop. Tho . lirsL objoct to bo attained for securing a ccrtaiu and profitable return of produce from the soil must bo the rough drainage. ; . the next object is, breaking into the subsoil . to the desired depth?not without first considering whether it is proper and profitable to shift or turn up the subsoil at once . ,o the influence of the atmosphere, or vhcther it be best to break into it well x irst, by shifting the surface soil and allowng the subsoil to remain and receivo?first ho beneficial influence of the atmosphere, md then, at the trenching, a portion of lie subsoil may be safeiy stirred up and * nixeil with the surface soil; this practice, * joutiuued for every succeeding crop, will v islablish a healthy fertilizing surface soil ^ o any desired debt. r If repeated stirrings of tko surface are idoptcd, aocordiug to the nature of the * toil aud weather, evory growiug crop will 8 continue in healthy luxuriance, without v iver buffering by receiving injury from 1 Loo lunch moisture, drought or frost. Iu addition, by constantly scarifying, hociug 1 or forking the surface soil, not only obnox- ( ious insects and their larva) are expelled, but weeds would never make their appear- [ auce, much loss have a chance of couiuiitt 1 ing their accustomed robbery of the soil and crops. Besides by such repeated stir- ' ring, the soil is always prepared, sweet and healthy, for succeeding crops?no mean 1 consideration, either, when wo observe the loss of time and produce occurring to such ' a ruinous extent in some localities, by al- ' lowing weeds to rob and choke the growing ' crops, and to shed their seeds, productive ! of a progctiv similarly injurious to the crops next iu rotation. 1 The application of manure is most es- ( iential, and may bo applied most beuefi- ( cially when a soil is established in a healthy condition, and maintained thus by 1 a constant attention to surface stirring. 1 Yet the application of mauuro is a second- 1 nry consideration; for though it may be ' 1 :.i? c ?v;aj uuui.ui^ ckfjM nu, ?iuu wini luuMUt'ra- i ble expense, yet without first iu.-uring tho 1 hcalthl'ulnesa of the soil, much property and labor will be sacrificed. Neatness in Dress at IIome.?Tho importance of neat and tasteful housedressing cannot be over estimated. The matron who appears beforo the members of her family in a shabby, soiled wrapper, and makes the excuse?if, iudced, she takes tho trouble to make one at all?that 'it is so much more comfortable,' has little idea of the possible cousequences of such a course . Could she but realize that her dress is an evil example to her daughters, and one productivo of consequences that will reach far beyond her own span of life ; that her husband nnd sons cannot fail to draw comparisons between her dress and that of the ladies they meet in other homes, and that these comparisons cannot fail to decrease their respect for her, she might be induced to give more attention to hur personal appearance. Not even the burden of care and constant employment can furnish a sufficient excuse for careless personal habits, for few things are more important to the well being of a family.

The True System op Fa.rmiwo.?-Tryug to do too much, is the common error nto which the farmer often tolls. Ilis ti ;reat eagcruoss iu striving to bo rich, is c loubtless the oause of bis error. He is I imbitious and energetic, and forma his b dans on a largo scale, too often, perhaps, a vithout counting the cost. Ho buys a li argo farm aud wauts to be called ~ft "largo o aruier," without understanding or oonsid- o tring the true elements that constituo a c oil farmer. He fancies the greatness of g hat profession, as is too often the common t istimatc, to be in proportion to the num- o >cr of acres, not to say cultivated, but em- o traced within the boundaries of his do- 8 naiu. Tho fact is now boing spread i tbroad, that a largo farm docs not make a t nan either rich, contented or happy, hut c tu tho contrary, the reverse of all these, c inlcss well tilled, when his labor is reward- C ;d by ample crops and fair success in the c various departments in which ho is ongag- i ?d. No farmer can realize the full bene- C its of his profession without adopting a \ thorough system of culture. His success, 1 souHuensuratc to his wishes, always dcpcuds j upou the manner in which he prepares his < grounds, plants his seed, and rears his 1 stock. Neither of these departments, 1 which may be considered the cardinal ( )nes of his profession, will take care of t themselves. Tho 6oil may be rich, hut it i leods culture. Ilis seed may be sown, but 1 it should bo in due time, aud always on c (oil well prepared and of a suitablo quali- 1 y ior me production 01 tne crop desired, i His stock must bo constantly cared for? \ t derives its thrift from the soil, and scuds a igaio to that soil the sustenance it re- t juiros; but this is not dono in a loose or i lap-hazard way. Tko farmer's care is re- 1 (uired, and all his bettor judgment must i >o oxerciscd iu keeping up this system of 1 coiprocal benefits that may be realized by c ivcry intelligent and industrious farmer. ? Thorough cultivation and systematic nt- ' cntiou to all parts of his business is iudis- 1 lensable to a good degrco of success. The ^ 'ery corner stone to the whole system of 0 arming, is to do what you do thoroughly? ^ lature will not ho cheated, aud never gives ^ ull returns to tho half-wuy work that is ^ iracticcd by vastlj too many calling them- ^ elves farmers. If the laud has been 1 voru, the extent of that exhaustiou and ^ he food required, must bo first considered. 1 iVbcu ascertained, the full measure of ( heso r.'quiruients must be given, to bring ' >ut full returns. If tho farmer has but a smull stock, and consequently but a small ( imouut of manure to replenish his land, it I is obvious that but a small farm can , bo supplied with it ; and good judgment at i auco dictates that to cultivate properly a large farm, artificial fertilizers must bo used if good crops aru obtained. Aud so , with the labor, two men cannot suitably till one hundred acres of land, when the I labor of two men and perhaps fonr, might uo profitably employed on seventy-fivo teres. ] This is the great error in farming. Tw# < lien strive to do what four men can hardly i lo, and thus thousands of acres aro run i jver, half tilled, and producing half crops. Tho laud is run over till worn out, eustain- i lag year after year the unnatural tax, till I its energies are ontiroly exhausted and it | fails to yield even a feeble crop, because its i life is worn out. Much of the soil in Vir- ' ginia and other Southern States is a type of this. Thousands of acres are lying en tirely useless and exhausted, and will ovor remain so, till the first elements of its power are returned to it. Tho process is fust going on in many of the Western States The soil is treated like an inexhaustible mine; tho tillers crying, give, give, give! till in a few years it will have nothing to give. The boast of tho West is, large farms and large fields of grain; plow, sow and reap, is tho business of the Western farmers, drawing out the very life of the soil, sending away in tho heavy exports that are constantly going onward, without returning to tho soil the food it requires to make it productive. The light that is being spread abroad on this subject, is beginning to correct this practice to some extent, but iu most instances very little is returned to the soil to keep it alive, till after sev -ral years of continual cropping, it manifests signs of exhaustion and ultimate barrenness. When tillers of the soil understand their truo interests, they will cultivate no more land than they can do well. Fifty acres of land for tillage, brought to a high state of cultivatiou, pays better than one hundred run over in tho way that many do. -m End ok Indianola,?ludianola, Tex., March 1.?The Southern Pacifio company will abandon its terminus at this point and run its track to Lavocaon Mategorday Hay ten miles above hero.

The htbtbut op "*ms Cotton Plant. -Beforo the birth "<j( Christ tho cultivaioo of tho plant and tho use of cotton for lathing was probably confined to Indi3. Ierodotus, who lived in tho fifth century cforc Christ, reports that tho Indians had plant which bore, instead of fruit, a wool ike that of the sheep, but finer and better, f which they made clothes, and Arrian larrates that the Indians made their lotbes of a fino white kind of flax, which ;row on trees. Other uations do not seem o have cultivated the plant at that time, r even to have used cotton, at all events uly exceptionally, as n rare expensive, tuff.. Thus, it is assumed, that the precous material called byssus, spoken of ainoug ho Jews, was cotton. The growth of lotton and its use, secui to havo be:omo diffused shortly after the birth of Jhrist. Strabo (in the first century of our ira) sponks of cottou boing cultivitcd and nauufucturcd in Susiuua, on the Vcrfiian 3ulf; and Pliny mentions that the plunt vas cultivated, not ouly in India, but iu Jppcr Egypt, aud Hays that tho Egyptian jricsts used the material tbcro grown for slothing. In all probability the Arabs jrougbt tho cultivation of cotton into Europe. In tbo time of Mahomet tho use >f cotton was genera) among them. Al,hough thcro existod at a very early period i trade in cotton goods from India to fiuropo. which took place partly by way if Constantinople, and partly by way of Sgypt, which trado became generally oxended, still the use of Cottou stuffs was rcry limited throughout tho middle ages; iud, although there wore cotton manufacorics iu Granada iu tho thirteenth century, n Venice iu the fourteenth century ; in .'"landers iu the Hixtceuth century, and lastly q England, in the scvcntccth century, (at oast of stuffs in wbiok the woof was of iotton ;) these manufactures wero iuconsidirablc in Europe till after the miudle of tho ast century. Few cottou goods wero in ise, and uio>t of these were imported from ndiannd Cliiua. It was iu itself improb,blo that it could be made to pay to cstabisk cottou manufactories iu Europe, for the !udians and Chinese had brought theso irauches of manufactures to a considerable legrec of perfection, the transport of tho aw material from suoh distaut regious uecissarily increased tho prieo of tho manlfacturcd article, whilo the cost of labor is ixtremcly low iu India, on account of tho bw necessities of the natives.
