V following cotton regulations, recently

?ur?er? ?t the present time :
Tft oa cotton produced in the United
Stftfo.wo and a linlf cents per pound.

, v lender e^clion four, of Act July, 1806, 1
cotton may be removed from tbe district in t
wtiich' produced to other districts without 1
pr^jayment of tax under bond or other ^
security, to be prescribed by the Comraia- 1
sion^r ?>f Infernal Revenue, subject to ap- ^
proval t>f the Secretary of the Treasury. It I
having been fougd, by experience, that ^
furnishing of increased facilities for removal ^
of cotton without ptepayment of tax, is c
consistent with increased security to the c
Treasury, ^jt is determined to substitute ^
shipifierfts to Revenue officers under bills l'
of lading for bonds heretofore required. v
Accordingly .the ?wner or other bolder of e
cotton, ^bich he desires to remove from w
district yof production to another district, r<
without prepayment of tax, will hereafter w
be required to obtain a bill of Jading in *
duplicate, signed by a well-known regular- ?'
ly established add responsible transporta- n
lion company, consigning cotton to col- d
lector of dUlgicl of destination for delivery
to factor orjigent pf tlie owner after pay- w
mcnt of tax. f Tb? transportation company 61
signing suclf bills of lading wjll be required P
to furnish the assessor or district in which n
is received, ptfrt or point of destination, im- h
mediately after arrival, a copy of their H
lumiiieBi or way-uni, bo r?r as it relates to lt
any cotton trangpo/ted by ihem'and stat- e<
ing therein whether cotton is class A, Bor r?
C, as heretofore required. Each assessor
will keep an account of all motion entered ai
upon the copios of manifests and way-bills b
as furnished to him. Should any trans- n'
portntion company refuse or ncglect to
furnish assessors wilh copy of manifest or P1
way bill, as above required, assessor will le
immediately notify all assefsors on the line C(
of 6iic(i transportation company of such If
neglect or refusal, and thereafter no permit di
for the transportation cf cotton by tuch ct
company will be granted by any assessor cc
without permission to do so being obtained fa
from the Commissioner of Internal lleve- m
liue. Before cotton is shipped the owner oc
or holder will apply to the assessor or ol
nun:eat asBitiani assessor of llio district in ri
which the colloa was produced for permit *1
to remove. This application must describe pi
the cotlon by the mark? placed upon the ?
bales, and give the weight of each, and n<
ulso state by what rout?, mode of convey- hi
unee it is proposed to transfer, and name of >
the transportation company, with the name bi
of collector to whom it is consigned, and tl
of factor or agent to whom it is to be delivered
on payment of the tax. Net weight rc
will be ascertained by deducting four per tli
centum for tare from gross weight. One th
copy of this certificate must bo transmitted 01
to the collector of the district, and the ti<
other copy must be delivered to the asses- et
sor, if, however, the Assessor or assistant
assessor is satisfied from the location of *
me couon or distance of the cotton gin or 1,1
place of^ shipment from bis own residence, te
or that of designated weight or marker, that Ul
weighing and markirg cannot be done tr
without great inconvenience or extra ex- '
pense, the officer may take weight as certifled
by the owner of the cotton gin, or by to
the freight agent at the place of shipment,
and will deliver to the applicant, with per- w
mit, a number of metallic tag* equal to
the number of bales named in the permit, tl
which must be carried with the cotton, and
delivered by the transportation company
at the place of destination at hereinafter <"
directed; if the transportation company
named in the application, is known to the "
assessor or assistant assessor to be response S
ble, be will grant a permit. It will be the ?
duty of the consignor of. cotton to obtain "
duplicate bills of lading, and band or send ai
them forthwith to tha assessor who issued *'
the permit; and said assessor will keep one
copy, and immediately mail other copy to *
collector of the dislriot to whom the cotton ?
is consigned. Should the ooosignor fail
within reasonable time to furnish the as- '
seuor with duplicate bills of lading as re- "
.quired, said assessor will immediately as-- Ml
certain the caose of failure, and if be shall c
find that the cotton baa left the district he p
may immediately wtnsra *? ik* MAn I
under satisfactory and proper explanation x
of failure given he will thereafter issue 8
no other permits to peraono,so fa default. *

WHAT A GOOD WIFE 18 WORTH.
A Kentucky farmer famishes the
llowing evidence of the money val}
of a wife. The companionship of
toh a wife was even mere precious
lan her industry and economy.
"I have boon farming twent3'-two
jars. Tho first four years I waa
iranrried. I began farming with
ro hundred and fifty acres, in the
lue Grass rogion. I handled cattle,
)gs, sheep, and horses?principally
>e two first named?and lived, I
louglit tolerably economically, spent
>no of the money for tobacco in any
ay ; nover betting a cent or dissipas
ng in any way, and yet, at tho end
' the four years, I had made little or
j-clear money. I tjion married a
)ung lady eighteen years of age?
ie who had never done any honae?
ork or work of any kind, except
aking a portion of her own clothes
3e had never made a shirt, drawers,
ints, or wai^coat, or even sowed a
ich oil a coat, and yet, before we
id been married a year, she has
ade for me overy one of the arlics
of clothing named, and knit namirs
of pairs of socks for me?yes,
id mended divers article*} for me,
>t excepting an old hat or two. She
id also made butter, sold eggs, chickis,
and other fowls, ^and vegetables,
> the amount uf near 9600 in cash,
.the end of the year, whereaB dung
(he lour years that I was single,
had never sold five cents worth,?
isidos making me pare, happy and
ntented with, and at my own home,
nd so far as to making money, we
ive made money clear of expenses,
'erv vear since we hava
ad, in overy thing that wo have uu>rtaken
oo the farm, aud she has
ade from 9350 to ?00 every year, exptone,

Making pork is one of the most es?
ntial interests of the farmer, and
ay bo one of tho most profitable,
"e question, however, as general con
icied, it much money is made by
eding swine, and the reasons are
ffieiently plain. It is enongb, if the
liraal, caught and caged in a pen, is
bog; the fact that a given quantity
' iood fed to some breeds of bogs,
ill make nearly or quite as much
;ain pork as when fed to some other
eeds, is overlooked $ and an astonaing
quantity of roots and grain is
us annually wasted. In the second
ace, the mode of feeding is very deutive.
The feed may bo good, but if
