How; to J?lant Corn. .?iji A I 111* T>n ' Editors Telegraph: As it iVcorn "planting tinTe, it occurs to me that it might not be amiss to remind our planling friends of Mr. Dioksoo-s method, of planting .corn. Uhe rencfcrrof>tlle Southern Cultivator aro familiar with his suggestions on this sub? ject ; but as very many of your readers possibly do not take this valuable journal, a nil "would be glad" to know the plan pur? sued by this ""prince of farmers," as the rosalt of his experience, and scientific re searchesan farming for more than twenty years, I will take the liberty of furnishing the desired information. Certainly, if our planters could but take a peep at Mr. Dickson's corn cribs, still wpH filled with com- which hemade three years ago, and seo the abundance and waste, of.?.that ..valuable product which swrirs'te-gTOW-around htm as if magic they would be anxious to learn the secret of S?Cj^.s^cce^s?.,rEor the benefit of those not p^stcd, and w-ho feel an interest in this all-important subject, I will furnish Mr. Dickson's method of procedure in his own words, for breaking the land and planting the crop: "Have good turning plows, and accord? ing to your ability, use one or two horses and subsoil. Ride over the field and lay off the- land so that the horse will go round on a level, and the dirt will fail downhill A toara. will break up the soil nine inches deep in this way as easily as they could seven inches on a level piece of land. Con ttmiie to-take the lands in the same way until the field is finished, one team follow? ing.another?all the time going round the circlet and if you subsoil, liave one team between each turning plow, running in tho bottora ol the furrow. When you finish the field is ready for phinting, if the prop? er time has arrived. In dccid.ngthis point you must be governed bj- the weather. It varies from the 10th of March to the 1st of April. According to my experience, a man only gains.hard work, and more of it, by very ear5j? planting. uXow for toe plan ting: Lay "off furrows with~a long shovel plow on a level, seven feet apart.,- Commence at the opposite end with a longer shovel and open out the same farrow. The reason for this is, you get rip to treos and stumps, and. make a better finish at the ends. This furrow should stand open seven or eight inches deep. Whether you use compost, cotton seed or guanos, Jet each hand have his three feet measure, and deposit the manure just three feet apart.. Then .drop the corn within .ih.ree.or four inches of the manure, one or more grains as is your custom? dropping on tho hear side of the manure, as the dropper goes \ then with a very light farrow cover the corn one or one and a half inches deep. The harrow should go the same way as tho dropper goes to keejj from pulling tho manure on the grain* - **If you covor dcop yon lose all Che ad? vantages of low plowing (but not of th? deep breaking) and for this reason: Corn, in good weather, will come tip from depth of one to six inches, but will slriko out tho roots about one inch from the stir ftice ot the ground and all below that will perish. That is one reason why l am op posed to dining corn as soon as it comes np?it brings the, root.of the stalk to the top of the ground." This, Mr. Editor,.is Mr. Dickson's me? thod of preparing, the land and planting t'be crop. The plan is subject to the ap? proval or disapproval of your many read? ers. We must make our own corn, and some change from the usual popular sys? tem of planting is necessary, in view of dor dull labor and increased liability to drought. We must guard against tho ef? fects of hot, dry Summers, and tho deep Iilowing and deep planting, as advised by tr. Dickson, promise the appropriate remedy. Mr. Dickson's plan of cultivating I propose to giro to your readers in another communication, and earnestly in? vite their attention to a calm and unprej? udiced! consideration of the same J.

The Next Cotton Crop.?Three mil? lion bales of cotton this year, if the sea? son bo favorable, yielding, at present prices, WO^OO^OQ, wilt bo tho contribu? tion of tho cotton States to the material wealth of the Union. Hero is a prize worth contending for by t he great com? mercial cities, and 2Cew York, from pre? sent indications, will secure so large- a share as to make up for the dullness of t-ho last season. Freights to Europe will roio high, as a matter of course, and were 5t not for the insane policy of Congross, ship-building would immediately revive. Our great mercantile marine before tho war was mainly built by the cotton -'trade. .T;t can. be rebuilt and enlarged now by judicious legislation. We clip tho foregoing prognostication from-an exchange, but wo find the opin ijpn very general among Southern cotton dealers that eho crop of 18?8 will show the maximum, no matter what may be the efforts to produce a larger yiold. A heavy and universal falling off of labor in the fields is reported. On the other hand, W*ithink no, duo allowance is mado loir an increase in the strictly'white labor yroduct of Georgia. Tiiis, wo believe, will be very considerable. Then we must also allow for a considerable increase in the crop resulting from tho diminution in she-corn culture. This will bo large gen? erally. The reports from all points in Georgia indicato that very little corn will to planted. On the whole, with a good yoar, we expect to see three million bales produced.?Macon Telegi <i/>h. The South ?s a field, for Immigration from a Northern View. j The Boston Post, in com mooting on the South as an inviting field for labor and capital,; presents the following sensible View or the situation : ' ''The leading Southern railroads, to tho nqfaaber pfsbimc thirty or forty, have taken important action with a view to inducing immigration to that section of country. In a recent convention at Atlanta the mana? gers of the various roads which form con? nections with the North and West agreed to a roduction of their pass enger tariff, by which excursionists who have in view the investment of capital, the purchase of land, or settlement, may, until July 1, make a trip of observation through the Southern States, from the-Atlantie to the Mississippi and the Ohio to the Gulf of Mexico, at the rate of two cents per mite. Mcst of the hotels along the route have also agreed to give a largo discount on their charges to holders of excursion tickets, while actual'seftlers will be trans? ported to their destination for one ecnt per mile. "This is the most practical movement which-hes been made toward turning the tide of emigration into a channel which will aid to build up the South and insure the systematical development of the coun? try. The West now receives by far the greater part of tho foreign laboring pop? ulation which land at our Eastern ports. A few stay with us; a still less number find their way South. Our young men and our capitalists also, find homes, and business, and investments, always in the West. Yet thero is no more inviting field for capital, entorpri6e and emigration than the South. Within tho boundaries of the Southern States there is a diversity of surface, soil and climate which can be found in no other portion of the country. Nature has blessed that region and en? dowed it. with resources whoso value can? not be estimated until they are brought under systematic and thorough develop? ment. Tho more elevated and central part is the best fruit garden in-the world. All the cereals flourish, and in many lo? calities yield two crops each year. The earth hides immense fields of coal, iron, copper and marble; water power suffi? cient to turn thousands of wheels goes unemployed down the rivers to the sea, and vast cotton fields lie in sight of tiie grain and cotton region. Eveiy advant? age is here placed by nature at the hand of the producer; who can find tho power for driving a mill directly in the heart of the great cotton belt, or a ready market for his stock and his grain at an easy dis? tance. This wealth is locked up from the country, waiting for the hand of labor to bring it forth.. Properly tilled the land will produce generonsl}', and sustain an hundred-fold more than its present popu? lation. Property worked, the mines would yield an invaluable store of mineral treasures. With the aid of capital and. advantages ol that region.can be made a source of national as well as local and in? dividual profit. Let the South be peopled with workers to ten times its present number, and they will nctonry make for? tunes and homes for themselves, but will create for the nation new riches and new resources. "There is immediate on Well as prospec? tive profit to the settler in the South, and to the capitalist who invests money in that section. It must grow and increase in wealth. Its natural advantages pro hiblt its stagnation ; and those who first seize the opportunity which now offers will be the first to profit by the great commercial reconstruction which is even now beginning. Attention is becoming more generally directed to the opportuni? ties for enterprise and capital in the South. Some States have already estab? lished a Board of Immigration, and oth? ers propose to do so. t At this time the plan agreed upon at the Atlanta Conven? tion will aid greatly in furthering the pur? pose of those interested in the matter/' Under the heading, " Southern Attrac? tions,'* the Soldiers' Friend, published in New York, has the following: "We have received the following letter from a gentleman in Virginia, relative to ?ur views on the question of Southern interests. We have long been- assured (and years before tho war advocated our opinions in the South as wo had opporlu nily) that the truo inlorcsls of the South, in all possible relations, required the ad? dition of. a large, intelligent population,, practical in the various skilled industries, which would appropriate and develop the great resources of that section of tho Union, and bring all the forces of an ad? vanced, industrial life to their aid. .The soil and climate, and the rich mineral wealth of tho Southern States, are wor? thy tho attention of all, and offer atdrac tions to capital ar.d labor of the most in? viting kind. While hundreds of thou? sands of laborers are at tho point of des? titution in the North, the South openB its broad area to give cheap, free, profitable homes, where wealth and independence may be secured on small capital. The results of the war, in removing the grand barrier to this addition to the pop? ulation of the South by substituting the energies of tree labor for the old system, cannot bo measured. Whatever may have been the old jealousies and antago? nisms, the underlying cause is removed. The institutions of the country aro now homogeneous, and our correspondence from the South yssures us of the most cordial ar.d generous spirit toward all who eoroo as friends to idontify thom setvpa with the growing luturo of the people. Tho movements now being made to place these facts before the people, we shall chronicle as an important item of public information. We havo valuable papers to publish, which we shall soon lay before our readers. Our correspon? dent says: " Farmvillk. Va., Feb. 25th, 18G&.

Do Laboring Men have Time to Study? ?'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy " is a true saying if not a model of lit? erary excellence. Its meaning is, that mind and heart as well as muscle need ex? ercise. ? Man is a complex being. Body, mind; and soul need to be naturally and harmoniously developed, or the human machinery becomes out of balance, and speedily shakes itself to pieces. A dis? tinguished essayist, hailing from Boston, the American Athens, has taken up the pen to urge that the laboring classes play too much and study so little, that the nature of the case hardly admits ef much effort at mental improvement. So many hours' labor and such hearty meals to get through it all are required, that any at? tempt at intellectual improvement on the part of the working classes is, in our Bos? ton philosopher's opinion,necessarily as the gait of theox to that of a trotting-horse. We have a word to say upon this sub? ject, and we shall begin by agreeing with our essayist, that workingmen, especially young" workingmen, study too little, but we dissent totally from the-statement that there is anything in the nature of their labor to prevent them as a class from suc? cessful study, if they could be induced to undertake it systematically. Let us see. It is asserted that they eat too heartily, that they must eat too hearti? ly to be fleet-minded. We admit, because our experience as well as physiological science proves it, that a hearty meal can? not be followed immediately by vigorous mental application. The attempt to do it must inevitably work ill to bocfy and mind But we also know from theory and prac? tice that the last meal of the day should be, especially to the laboring man, a light one. This meal precedes the hours of leisure generally possessed by laboring meu, the hours which are too generally spent in smoking, theatre going, billiard playing, drinking in many sad cases, or, what is scarcely better, a season of men? tal and physical inanity by the fireside, slowly but surely degrading all faculties. Now, let it be distinctly understood that we do not object to harmless amuse? ments per se.' If workingmen will not study, they had better play than smoke, drink, or sit by the fire and mope. We believe in the 1 duty of recreation. But we also believe i that study itself is recreation to a man whose muscles have been in active play for ten hours of the day, and the best kind of recreation, too, when the last meal has ? been, as it should be, a light one. Then the body rests while the mind is fresh aud vig? orous, and two or three hours of profitable and most interesting intellectual enjoy? ment can be had at far less expense than the pipe, billiards, or theatre deraands. Let us now look for a moment at the question of time. Suppose a Laborer to work ten hours, and to devote two hours per day to meals and going to and from work. There remain twelve hours out of ? the twenty-four. Allow nine hours of this for sleep?an hour more than necessary, for most persons?but say nine hours; three of I leisure remains. But suppose one hour of the three be spent with the family, there are still two hours of time for quiet study. Now exclude Sundays from the calcula? tion, and allow one secular evening for amusement solely, there remain ten hours per week for study?an amount of time that would, with ordinary intelligence, an? swer to master the rudiments of the French or German language in a single year, thus opening a new and rich field of amusement and culture. Ten years of such a course would give a man the mastery of the French and German tongues, a fairknowl- j edge of mathematics pure and applied,- an outline of the physical sciences, and skill as a draughtsman. The writer of this article, still on the sunny side of forty, asserts that the average of all the time he has been able to devote to study during his life has been considerably less than two hours per day. Let any mechanic at the age of twenty con? sider how much advantage the above ac? quirements would be to him at the age of thirty, should he obtain them, and then go to work and get them. The requisite books can be obtained for less than many a young ? man spends for cigars during six months. Twelve years bince we were in a*ma j chine-shop in the centre of New-York State, where we were having a model eon [ structed. The young man to whom the foreman and proprietor had assigned the j work attracted our attention from some-re I marks which seemed to indicate a higher state of cultivation than is usually met with in young men occupying similar positions. Thereupon vre set ourselves to draw him out. We found him familiar with the high? er mathematics, an expert draughtsman, and thoroughly posted in natural philoso? phy and the chemistry of the metals. He had commenced French and German. All these accomplishments were the reward of evening stud)', pursued steadily since the date of his apprenticeship, commenced at the age of sixteen. This young man was at that time just past twenty-one, in ap? parently perfect mental, moral, and physi? cal health. He has since risen by successive steps to foreman, and is now a partner in the same establishment, a man of wealth aud influence. The essential character of recreation is that it transfers tho strain from one part of the vital machinery which needs rest to another that does not, thus equalizing wear. But the human system is not like a lathe or .steam engine,, incapable of re? pairing itself. As soon as rest if given to any part of it, if health v, it commences to repair itself. But a condition of perfect rest is that the mind shall be wholly with? drawn from the. consideration ot fatigue, that toil should be forgotten in the absorb? ing character of the recreative occupation. What, we ask, is better calculated to ac? complish this result, than a proper course of st ud v V?Scientific A mcrican. [From the Southern Cultivator.] Chas. A. Peafoody on Commer ? cial Manures. HIS METHOD OF APPLICATION AND RESULTS. i Editor? Southern Cultivator: As I am constantly receiving letters from all parts of the cotton-grow? ing States, asking my views of Guano?what kinds 1 prefer?how I use it, and what quantities??I will make the Cultivator the medium of my answer to all. Some twenty-fivo years ago, I began to ex? periment with Guano. First, I tried Peruvian. This gnve good satisfaction, but was, I then thought, rather expensive. I have since tried all of the other varieties of note. Some were good, others worthless. I had come to the conclusion that the Peruvian, however costly, was the cheap? est in the end. as a hard-working, industrious man could manipulate it, with any other substance he thought proper. I have found salt, plaster, flow? er of bones, swamp muck, &c, valuable to ma? nipulate with Peruvian Guano, but the labor of manipulation is great, and in the process of ma? nipulation, much of tho ammonia escapes. From this fact I have been led to inquire, whether there was not an excess of ammonia in Peruvian Guano, and whether it would not be more advantageous to pay for the Phosphates, than to pay so much extra for the volatile ammonia. Whilst full of this idea, I struck the Soluble Pacific Guano, and was so well pleased with it, that last year I manured one-half of my cotton with it, and the other half with the genuine Peruvian. The same quantity of each was used per acre. The land was of the same quality, the planting and culture was in all respects the same, and when the crop was gather? ed, it was impossible to tell which was the best. Now the Soluble Pacific Guano cost me S20 less per ton, and as a consequence, I have this year used the Soluble Pacific Guano alone. It cost me , at the Agent's Depot in Columbus, $75 per ton. It may be well here to state the character of my land. I do not live on exactly what would be called pine barrens, but it is next to it. The older portion of my land will not, with ordinary culture, bring three hundred pounds of seed cotton to the acre. A field of ten acres, which I wished to ex? periment on with the Dickson Cotton, hybridizing ; it with ray Upland Long Staple. I plowed and sub-soiled in March, leaving the surface perfectly level; the 20th of April, I laid it off in lands about twenty-five feet wide, and sowed Soluble Pacific Guano broadcast, at I lie rate of two hundred pounds to the acre. This I turned under, with a turn shovel, then opened furrows three feet apart, with a long point scooter, following in the sam? furrow I put two huudred pounds more of the Gu? ano to the acre. Then I threw the furrows togeth? er into the centre, with a turn shovel, which left but a slight ridge, and on this ridge planted the seed. Tho Dickson variety bears much thicker planting than other kinds. The growth and fruit? ing of the crop was superb?nothing equal to it had ever been seen in this section of the country, and if the worms had not swept all the top and end bolls, it would have made two good bales to the acre. As bad as it has turned out, it has made a bale to the acre. To a half acre near my dwel? ling, that I had cow-penned last winter, I applied two hundred pounds of tho Soluble Pacific Guano in the drill, and, notwithstanding excessive wet weather in August, and the worms, which took all the late crop, I have picked over twe thousand pounds of seed cotton from the half acre. There are those in my neighborhood, who plant land as good'as mine, but without Guano, that will scarce? ly realize a bale from tea acres this year. And now a word to the purchaser. If you would get the Soluble Pacific Guano Genuine, purchase it only ot the authorized agents of the Company. I have tried the Peruvian and Pacific on my garden crops, but with no good results. Peruvian Guano seems to be emphatically the food for the cotton fruit?other fertilizers may make more weed; but in the purchase of Peruvian Guano, we are pay? ing for a volatile ammonia, much *f which is bound to escape, without benefit to crops. Will it not be to the planter's interest to tako that Guano which is richer in phosphates, and yet an abun? dance of ammonia tor all practical purposes? The Soluble Pacific Guano I have found from sound practical tests, to be equal to tho Peruvian and much cheaper. I bold that no man can afford to plant cotton without Guano. . . CHAS. A. PEABODT.
