I I An Experiment in Grinding Cot-| ton Seed.. —We are convinced uponl fiirther reflection and inquiry, that tliel su,Location thrown out in our last is-1 sue upon grinding cotton seed in tliel common grist mill, is a matter of great I p: ictical importance to our readers in I the South. If cottonseed brought to] the North, deprived of its oil, and I ground into meal is worth a dollar mull a half a hundred, it ought to be worthl much more upon the plantation, ground I before pressing, where feeding stuff is I in great demand. I The grand difficulty is in the busi-1 ness of grinding. The seed contain®! so much oil, that the common grist I mill would probably clog with the pure I cotton seed, and the conclusion would! he jumped at, that the mill was unfit I iV.r the work. We wish therefore, to I suggest several experiments in grind-1 ing; first a mixture of three parts of I cotton seed to one of corn ; secondly, I an equal quantity of each ; and third-1 Iv, three parts of corn to one of cotton I see L T 1 e corn being 1 rd and dry, I will absorb the oil, and we think, keep I the mill clean, so that it will do its! work perfectly. Animals are not fond I of the pure meal at first, and have to I a t j mixing it ini small quantities with other palatable I feedin g stuff. When the taste is I . they eat ravenously without! any mixture. If ouv correspondent! at Edward’s Depot, Miss., who lias sug-l gested these inquiries, would under-! i. ke these eqperiments, and report! th n, we should feel greatly obliged.! The manufacture and use of cotton! seed meal upon the plantation, we are! confident, will form anew era in the! husbandry of the Gulf States.— Amer- 1 icati Agriculturist. I ING STR tWBEKRIE 5. Wei can have too much of a asl irauy tyros in fruit culture have to until out to their cost in this operation, i Reading that strawberries are bene-1 fir red by a mulch in winter, they wrap I them up as they would their babies ini bed, I finally leaving a breathing hole.l Three and four inches of stable ma-l nure, or leaves, are spread over themi at this season, and the snows press I down the liter, so that the leaves and I crow ns of the plant- decay. They I come out iu the spring black' and I dead. I Nature gives us a profitable hint asl to the proper amount < f protection fori this plant. It grows among the gras-1 ses, and the old fog that forms after| mowing, where the fields are not pas-1 tured, screens them sufficiently from I the cold. If the leaves are covered aa all, it should only be with loose littoyj vlrroukih which the air tan freely. With this precaution, we navel never found any difficulty in the win-1 ter-killing of the plants. It is better I to manure them at this season, than I in the spring. What is Spread uponl the surface now, leakes down with the I winter rains, and is equally distributed I among the roots. Look occasionally I to the plants to see if the leaves are I green. —American Agriculturist. j Manuk:-:.'. —We have found, in practice, that putrescent manures should never comein contact with fruit trees; they come irregularly and with I over rapid growth, giving spongy wood, I loose bark, and poorer fruits, For ap-1 pie trees lime should be freely used. I For pears, the leading constituents re-1 quired are phosphate of lime and pot-1 ash. The same may be said of quin-1 ces. Cherries, plums, &c., require a I greater variety of inorganic food, be ing sure always to have present the soluble phosphates in moderate quan tities. Peaches, apricots and necta rines require a full variety of the alka lies in the soil, so that the soluble sil-1 icate .y ’ e fully formed ; these eri-1 su; to their -. oody fibre the necessary I firmness nrd strength. j STurnxn Horses Feet. —A wri-l ter in the Country Gentleman , says] that a horse’s foot should be stuffed] the night before shoeing. The object I is to soften the hoof so as to he easily I cut. It is done by binding’ on tow, I well wet with water. If the hoof be I a healthy one no harm is done. If I the heel is very low. stuffing may not I be necessary. Stuffing with cow dung, I as is sometimes practiced, is injurious I and should never he practiced. (?) I Clay, wet with water, is good, but dries too soon. A brittle hoof may! be improved by anointing with a mix-1 ture of lard, beeswax and tar melted] together. Never allow a horse to I stand on the straw wet by urine. In] shoeing, do not make the inside cork] so sharp as the outer one. Anew breed of sheep is noticed.—l They are called Purik Sheep, and arel the most diminutive of the ‘ovis’ family,l the full grown ones being not larger! than lambs of a few weeks old. The! Purik Sheep has small bones, ’a| fleshy carcass, the mutton excellent, I and yields three pounds a year of very fine wool. The ewes generally give two lambs a year. The great advan- ] tage of this over other breeds is its do-| mestic habits—living around the cot-1 tages quiet as a house-dog, and feed-1 ing upon all sorts of waste garbage, I scraps of fruit, vegetables, etc. Asl pets for children, they are infinitely I preferable to dogs.

Men, as well as wo men, delighted thus to adorn thetn [solves; and the desire was not confined Ito the higher ranks; for, though the I subordinate classes could not" afford the sparkling gems and als which glowed upon the persons of I their superiors, their vanity was grati- I tied by humbler imitations, of bronze, I glass or porcelain. ; “Costly and elegant ornaments,” | observes Prof. Rossellini, “abounded |in proportion as clothing in general [was simple and scarce among the [ Egyptians. Girdles, necklaces, arm | lets, earrings and amulets of various | kinds suspended from the neck, are [found represented in the paintings, | and, in fact, still exist on the mum mies. Figures of noble youths arc I found entirely devoid of clothing, but | richly ornamented with necklaces and | other jewels.” An immense number of those “jew | els of silver and jewels of gold” have I been found in the tombs and on the | persons of mummies, and are deposited [in profusion in every museum. , % | The earrings generally worn by the [ladies, were large round single hoops, [from one inch and a half to two and a | third in diameter, and frequently of a | still greater size ; or made of six rings [soldered together. Sometimes, an asp whose body was of gold, set with pre cious stones, was worn by persons of rank as a fashionable caprice. Other | figures of gold, bearing the heads of | fanciful animals, also of gold, were [remarkable for their singularity of | form and delicacy of workmanship, | carrying two pearls, and being double I in their construction. Bracelets, armlets and anklets were worn by men as well as by women ; I they were usually of gold, frequently [set with precious stones, or inlaid with [enamel. Avery magnificent. snake Ibracelet of Egyptian workmanship is ■ preserved in the Leyden museum. It lis of gold, three inches in diameter, [and one and a half inch in heigltt, and [is interesting, because it belonged to [the Pharaoh whom we conclude tohave [been the patron and friend of Joseph, [Thothrnes 111., whose name it bears. | Rings were worn in profusion, gold I being the material chiefly selected.
