"Where is your little boy tending?" asked the good man, as he was inquiriug of Mrs. Partington witli regard to the proclivities of Ike, who had a hard name in the neighborhood ? he meant the direction for good or ill that the boy was walking. "Well," said the old lady, "he isn't tending anywhere yet. I thought some of putting him into n wholesome store, but some says the ringtail is tho most beneficioU8, though he isn't old cuough yet to go into a store. "I meint morally tending," said her visitor solemnly, straightening himscl f up like an ax-handle.

Wartheo, a thrifty planter living near Sandcrsvillo, (Ja., has man aged to raise five bales of cottou to the acre, and thus explains bow be did it. "Tbc soil is sandy, with clay subsoil, lias been in cultivation for sixty or eighty years, I suppose. About half of tho acre was an old dung-hill, tho other half very poor before manuring. The guano I used was Kcttlcwell's A. A., or l'hospho Peruvian, 1,100 pounds; raw pine stra.v from the wood, b'O ox cart loads ; grc;n cotton seed, 00 bushols; stable manure, well rotted, 400 bushels. The pino strnw, cotton seel and stable manure I hauled out in Jnnuaay, and strewed broadcast over the laud , thou turned under with a two-horse plough, breaking oi; ht inches deep. Then with a sixteen inch scooter ruu in tho two horse furrow, breaking from five to seven inches ; in the whole thirteen to fifteen inches deep. I then followed in the scooter furrow with the guano or subsoil furrow, so on, till completed. In February I repeated the breaking in the same manner, leaving off mauuring. In March., the same again, breaking caeb time crosswise, or in opposite direc tion. In April, I harrowed the laud I twice, to level the soil and d -troy the youug vegetation. Then 1 checked off my rows thsee feet each way, with a small bulltouguc plough, and on the 13th day of May I planted my cotton seed in the hill, six or eight seed, drop pod by hand and covered with the foot; the seed wheu covered being on n level. The t-ecd were the "Cluster Cotton" variety. I purchased them from IUvid Dickson, Esq., Oxford, Georgia, to whom I must confess I am indebted for my tuccess, to acertainexte.it. The t?ced, 1 am confident, wero half the buttle. The cotton was thincd to one stalk to the hill iu June, with exception of the outside rows, iu which I left two stalks. Theu I ploughed with twenty four-inch sweep "Dickson's," shallow, one fin row to the row, and about eight days alterward 1 repeated the same, running <>:ie furrow to the row, just scraping tho earth enough to destroy the young weeds and gras*. Did not u-e a hoe in it, iu order to avoid sinking the cotton, in fact, had no use for any. as the cottou grew so fast the shade ( thereof prevented all vegetation from growing underneath."
