HORSE DISTEMPER.
it is an inflammatory disease, and shows
itself in young horses by the want of appe
tite, the dull languid look of the animal,
liis cough, and then a running at the nose.
This disorder always affects the head more
or less ; it is distinguished into the false or
.genuine, and the malignant; the first is
..ess a disorder than a purifying of the hu
mors. necessary to all young horses. W hen
the running oi the nostrils is not abundant,
a tumor is formed under the lower jaw that
opens, sooner or later, and discharges a
great quantity of matter. That is the gen
uine or benign distemper ; the false or ma
lignant is derived from the first, when it
lias not been well cured, and re appears,
and is a malady of the same kind, with I lie
same symptoms. If it is not cured tho
roughly, it turns infallibly into ‘.h a sland
ers, very seldom cured, and devotes the an
imal to a certain death. The malignant
distemper is accompanied with a high fever,
a swelling of the head, hard breathing ;
and the running at the nose is so thick that
it comes with difficulty ; the animal must
immediately be hied, in order to abate the
inflammation. The nostrils must he in
jected with mullen or flax-seed tea, or
both combined ; it prevents the ulceration
of the inside of the nose, and facilitates the
running of the matter, particularly if a fu
migation is added to the above. It is made
in the following manner: boil oats in the
mullen tea, or flax-seed, or bran, or any
other substance which, when thick enough,
retains long a sufficient degree of heat; put
a small quantity of this wash into a hag
two and a half feet long, and large enough
to admit part of the horse’s head ; a thong
of leather or rope fastened to the hag goes
over the head like a head stall. The wash
must not he too hot as the horse could not
hear the steam ; much less too cold, or it
would have, no effect. When, after a cer
tain time, it is parti)'cooled, take off the
hag, and begin often the same operation a
gain during the day, observing to take the
bag off to let the horse snort out the’ matter,
if he is so inclined, and put it on again if
still warm enough.
If the tumor under the lower jaw opens
of itself, it should be rubbed with the fol
lowing ointment: beat one or two yellows
of eggs with spirits of turpentine, and put
some of it on a bunch of tow, held fast by a
sort of covering or bandage to keep the cold
from the sore ; it is necessary to observe
that any open sore or wound should be cov
ered to exclude the external air and all
kinds of insects. This dressing must be
done every day exactly. When the horse
is cured, be must be purged once or twice,
iii order to carry off the remains of any ven
omous matter. Care must be taken to wa
ter the horse out of a bucket, if during his
sickness lie could not sloop his head to
drink as usual ; as lie is feverish, the want
of water would increase his sickness and
his sufferings. During the horse’s sick
ness, lie must be dieted in the following
manner : cut straw and bran ; his drink,
mullen or flax-seed tea, with a handful of
bran, sometimes a little salt given milk
warm. If the weather be cold, a sick
horse ought to be covered, if possible, or at
least sheltered from the cold.
Grass-founder or melted fat is an inflam
mation of the inner soft membrane of the
bowels, lined with a mucous substance that
lubricates them in that disease, and looks
like melted fat; it is most common in sum
mer, after too much fatigue and over-feed
ing, or too strong a physic. It is the dys
entery of horses ; the animal dungs with
I in small quantity, makes a cooling diet and
[ is used with success.

THE COTTON CROP.
! To the Editors of the Ncw-Orleans Bulletin:
Gentlemen :—My attention lias been at
tracted to the numerous newspaper para
graphs on the subject of the prospect of the
present growing crop of Cotton, the tenden
cy of which is calculated to create an im
pression that it will he a large one. The
New.York Herald of tire Ist inst. says—
“ The growing crop lias in most sections
got a good stand, and the quantity planted is
even greater than ever before, exceeding e
ven tlie prodigious crop of last year,” (al
luding to the crop of 1839 of 2,200,000
bales.) And in that excellent siieet, Cook
& Levy’s Prices Current, of the past week,
we are told that the present crop of Cotton,
all accounts concur in stating were never
more promising. 1 quote this last from the
memory, hut it is the sense. Without mul
tiplying quotations from papers, all of
which have partaken more or less in simi
lar statements, the above are sufficient for
the purpose of calling the attention of both
planters and merchants to this subject.
Similar publications to these, made thro
ugliout the Cotton region in the months of
May, June, July, August and September,
of the year 1838, 1 am persuaded, cost the
planting interest two millions of dollars.
To convince any one of this, let them pe
ruse the extravagant and glowing accounts
of the crops with which Southern newspa
pers then abounded, recollecting at the same
time that the crop of the previous year was
1,800,00(1 hales ; and then let him add the
fact, that the crop of 1838, instead of equal
ing, fell 420,000 short of the year before,
and 1 think they will he satisfied 1 have not
over-estimated the actual loss to the plant
er ; when it is also borne in mind that Cot
ton advanced as much as 33 per cent, up
on the opening price before the Ist of
March. Ido not suppose, by any means,
that it was the intention of the Editors of the
public journals thus to prostrate the plant
er—far from it. But such will always he
the effect of such publications, when made
without proper data to go upon. Whether
I shall he aide to throw any light upon this
subject tiie sequel will unibld. It'any gen
tlemen has better data to go upon, he owes
it to the planting and commercial interest
to make it public.
When 1 became a planter, my enquiries
soon satisfied my mind that every gentle
man had, sui generis, a way of guessing pe
culiar to himself, and no fixed principle on
which to form his opinion. This induced
me to make a planting register, in which
the time of planting, coming up, growth,
blooming, opening, &c. were all carefully
noted, with observations on the weather.—
The doing of this lias given me the follow
ing results: Mv Cotton was planted the
various years stated, about the usual time
that planters generally do their planting,
and never varied more than a day or so gen
erally from the same time each year. Now
the result.
The crop of Cotton in 1836 was in bloom
the 4th day of June, and the crop yielded
1,1300,000 “bales. The crop of 1837 was
in bloom the 28th day of May, and yielded
1,800,000. The crop of 1838 was in bloom
the 14th day ofJune, and yielded 1,330,000
hales. The crop of 1839 was in bloom
the 24th day of May, and yielded 2,200,000
hales. The crop of 1840 was in bloom on
the 6th day of June, and yields supposed a
bout 1,600,000. The crop of Cotton of
this year (1841) was in bloom on the 10th
day of June, and what it may yield time
will tell. But I think in the face of these
facts, to speak in extravagant terms, such
as quoted from the Herald, and such as may
he found in many other papers, is wholly
unwarranted. If it is continued to he done,
I hope they will give a sensible data, and
some more sensible reason than mere guess
work. So far as my knowledge extends,
the planters are turning their attention more
to producing their own supplies and plant
ing less Cotton than any year since 1837,
with hut few exceptions, and therefore I do
not believe more Cotton is planted as sta
ted.
It is also a fact that the blooming of cot
ton and the coming of frost in the fall, bear
some relation to each other calculated to
strike the mind of an attentive observer,
and goes strongly to prove tiiat when we
have a backward spring, we have frost cor
respondingly early. The consequence is,
that we have our crops shortened or increa
ed by it. Thus for example, in the year
1836, we had frost the 14th October. In
1837, we had frost 27th October. In 1838,
we had frost the 7th of October. In 1839,
we had frost the 7th November. In 1840,
we had frost the 17th of October. I speak
of frost suflicient to kill the cotton plant.
All will readily conceive that it is the
interest both of the planter and the purcha
ser of cotton, that a fair estimate should be
arrived at as early as possible, to prevent
ruinous losses occurring to either, and any
plan that can be adopted by which that re
sult may be obtained will meet mv appro
bation, and I doubt not but also the appro
bation of the planters generally. Butin
the meantime, 1 do protest against such va
garies and random guesses at the growing
crop, should be taken up by the newspaper
press and spread before Europe and Amer
ica, to the great injury and exclusive loss of
the planter, whose interest is to sell his cot
ton at home as quick as he can get it ready
for market, and at only a fair price, which
his article may be worth in reference to
the whole crop produced. Purchasers en
ter the market where improper impressions
are produced either in estimating the crop,
short, full, or in excess, always with dis
advantage ultimately to the planting inter
est. If the crop is over-estimated, he will
not give as much for cotton as he otherwise
would if he knew the reality, and on the
other hand if the crop is under-estimated
and he is induced thereby to give a higher
price than he would otherwise have given
for that crop, and he is consequently deter
red the next year, and holds off. and the
planter 1 really believe loses more byjt
greatly than lie gained in excess the year
before. This goes clearly to establish the
principle that fairness in trade and conso
qucntly in estimating the crop is the only
safe foundation for prosperity to cotton buy
ers as well as the cotton planters. I think
some plan should he adopted calculated to
secure this, and for one it shall have my
hearty concurrence and support.
In speaking of the cotton crops of the va
rious years referred to, it will he perceived
that 1 have spoken in round numbers and
not fractionally exact. It may also he well
to remark that what is called the cotton
belt, extends from north latitude 31 deg. to
33 deg. inclusive—my plantation is a frac
tion over 33 deg. of north latitude, and con
sequently near the centre of the cotton re
gion.
Respectfully, your oh’t. servant,
B. H. PAYNE.
P. S.—lt is hoped Southern editors will
insert this, as it may lead to other observa
tions calculated to forward the interest of
the planter and merchant.

INDIA COTTON.
The Boston Evening Journal says, the
cultivation of cotton is on the inrease in In
dia. According to the Bombay Times of
March 27—up to the 19th March, 1840, the
total imports amounted to only 62,522 cwt.
while to tiie some date of the present year
they amount to 324,679 cwt. thus exhibit
ing an increase of 255,157 cwt. This large
increase does not appear to be owing to a
ny fortuitous circumstances, but cither, to
the cultivation being greatly extended or to
greater exertions being used to bring for
ward the new crop. From all accounts it
appears that greater extension is given to
the cultivation of cotton in districts which
heretofore supplied comparatively insignifi
cant quantities, and greater attention paid
to the quality.
FACTS.
1; Facts are stubborn things .” —l. A poor
farmer will be a poor man.
2. A large manure-heap makes a full
granary.
3. Intelligence to plan, industry to exe
cute, and economy to preserve—prosperity
follows.
4. Ignorance, idleness, and waste, are
followed close in the rear by distress, pov
erty, and want.
5. The interest and happiness of the
owner of all domestic animals are promoted
by kind treatment, full feeding and clean
liness. Try it.
6. Poor tillage, poor crops.
7. To raise an abundance ofgrass is the
foundation of all good husbandry, and should
be the first and last effort of every person
who desires to he a successful and prosper
ous farmer.
8 Plants derive their nutriment from the
soil, and every crop removed takes away
part of its productive power, which an hon
est farmer will take pleasure and derive
profit from restoring as soon as possi
ble.
9. Those who trespass on the kind dispo
sition of the soil, to produce crops, without
muking adequate returns to it, are soon
brought to judgment.
10. A wise man will spread neither his
manure nor his labor over more ground
than will enable him to attain a maximum
result.
11. Postponing doing right, is doing
wrong.
12. A well cultivated garden is the most
profitable part of a farmer’s domains.
To kill Bed Bugs. —Mr. Jonas Bacon of
Unionville, states to us that gum camphor
and bar-soap, will effectually destroy that
midnight robber, the bed-bug—lie mixes
one ounce of the camphor well pulverised,
with two ounces of the soap—this mixture
is easily applied to the crevices where the
bugs harbour.

DR. TAYLOR’S
BALSAM OF LIVERWORT
HAS been used successfully for eight years
in the cure of these diseases. ID” Re
member ! the original and genuine is made only
at 375 Bowery, N. Y., ALL others are spurious
and unauthorized 1
Consumption and Liver Complaint! —As a
general remedy for these diseases I am fully sat
isfied, from long experience, there is no Medi
cine equal to Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort.
Being purely vegetable, it can be used with the
utmost safety by all persons in every condition
It cleanses the lungs by expectoration, relieves
ddficult breathing, and seems to heal the chest.
There can be no question, but this medicine is a
certain cure tor chronic coughs and colds. I
have used it for four years in my practice, and
always with success.
A. F. ROGERS, M.D.
To Females. —The number of females in deli
cate health, is truly surprising. Weakness, loss
of appetite, liver complaints, and many other dis
eases, prey upon them, making them pale and
lean of flesh. All this can be remedied by the
use of strengthening medicine, that will assist
nature in all her movements, restore tone to the
nerves and muscular organs. Os this kind is
Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort, which being
mild and purely vegetable, answers females ad
mirably. If all will use it, we are confident an
elastic step, good appetite, and ruddy cheeks will
follow. Once more, remember, the original and
genuine is made at 375 Bowery.
ID Spitting oj Blood. —This disease consists
of a discharge of blood, often frothy, from the
mouth, brought up with hawking and coughing,
and is usually accompanied with difficulty of
breathing, and some pain in the chest. Some
times it is preceded by an oppression of ibe
chest, a dry tickling cough, and slight shooting
pains. This disease is always more or less dan
gerous. The great danger is that these symp
toms may terminate in consumption, and imme
diate remedies can alone save this end. Bui Dr.
Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort is a sure remedy,
and to show its unparalleled success, certificates
of cures from 421 citizens, and many physicians,
will be published in a few days.
ID” Nervous Diseases and Weakness. —Dr.
Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort, made at 375 Bow
ery, is assuredly an excellent remedy for these
diseases. My wife has been more or less ill for
ten years. She was extremely nervous, and at
times so weak that she could not attend to her
domestic duties. By the use of this medicine,
her strength is wholly restored, and she is as
healthy as 1 can wish her to be. My address is
at Dr. Taylor’s office.
Cure of Consumption. —Mrs. Martin, a worthy
member of my congregation, was taken ill some
time since with a cold, pain in the breast, and
some difficulty of breathing, and in a tew days
thereafter, she had a violent cough and a violent
pain in the sides, which fio medicine would re
lieve. She continued m tins way for a long
time, under the medical care of Dr. Rea, but li
nally became consumptive, and was. evidently
near the end of her earthly sufferings, when her
brother persuaded her to try Dr. Taylor’s Balsam
of Liverwort. When she commenced this med
icine, it did not seem to agree with her for a lew
days, but by lessening the dose, she found it an
swered admirably : it relieved her cough and her
difficulty of breathing instautei ; and we had the
pleasure of witnessing her rapid recovery to
health. Rev. WILLIAM SMYTHE.

A FULL REPORT OF THE
GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY OF THF
riIHE Legislature, at their last session, deein-
JL ed it expedient to discontinue the. salary of
tho State Geologist, in consequence of the em
barrassed finances of the Slate. Bv this unex
pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of
the means of completing the survey of the State,
on the original plan: if done at all, it must be
at individual risk and expense.
It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en
lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following
oat tiie plan so happily commenced in 1837, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the presen l ,
tho Stale has been contributing her mite, hum
ble as it may be on the part ol her agent, to the
cause of general science in our country, and the
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with other States of
the Union. There is but one alternative. In the
present situation of the survey, the work must
either be abandoned and the important informa
tion obtained by four years investigation of the
Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, or the
subscriber must depend for support, on individ
ual patronage. He is determined to make an ef
fort for the benefit and honor of his adopted State,
to proceed with the survey. From former ex
perience of the unbounded liberality and gene
rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ
ent parts of tiie State, he is confident that, in
making an appeal to their sympathy and patron
age, it will not be made in vain.
That a complete survey may be made of the re
maining counties of the State, and the whole
consolidated and published for tho information
and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind,
is much needed m Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousand square miles , being
destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of the e itizens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by four years labor, as
State Geologist, in different parts ot the State,
in collecting materials for a complete report ot
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, lie trusts that he shall be able to
meet the approbation of his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising from subscription for the work
shall be appropriated to the completion ot the
survey ol the remaining counties of tho State,
and that they shall be finished as they, will be
needed for publication.
