After look ing a few moments, he found that splitting the skin of the forehead, and putting in as much fine salt as would conveniently dis solve, was recommended. No sooner had Jtc read the recipe, than he was making ar rangements to try the experiment; and to his astonishment, in a few minutes, his pa tient was convalescent ; in a few more, he was up, and soon recovered. The man who will take agricultural pa pers, and read thorn, will never lose by it ; but the little-minded being who is too wise to learn, is the one who is ever stumbling ■ mi account of his own ignorance.

It is an inflammatory disease, and shows itself in young horses by the want of appe tite, the dull languid look of the animal, his 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 less a disorder than a purifying of the hu mors, necessary to all young horses. When the running of 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 1 has not been well cured, and re-appears, and is a malady of the same kind, with the j same symptoms. If it is not cured tlio- J roughly, it turns infallibly into t!> ylaud- ; ers. very seldom cured, and devotes the an j imal to a certain death. The malignant : distemper is accompanied with a high fever, ; a swelling of the head, hard breathing ; 1 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 1 inflammation. The nostrils must he in jected with mullen or flax-seed tea, or j both combined ; it prevents the ulceration ! of the inside of the nose, and facilitates the ! running of the matter, particularly if a fu- j inigation is added to the above. It is made ! in tiie following manner: boil oats in the i 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 bag ; 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 bag goes j over the head like a head stall. The wash must not be too hot as the horse could not bear the steam ; much less too cold, or it \ would have no effect. When, after acer- j tain time, it is partly cooled, take off the bag, and begin often the same operation a gain during the day, observing to take the l>ag off to let the horse snort out the matter, j it'lie is so inclined, and put it on again jf > still warm enough. If the tumor under the lower jaw opens j <f itself, it should be rubbed with the fol io wing ointment: brat 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, he must be purged once or twice, in 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 he could not stoop his head to j drink as usual; as lie is feverish, the want >f water would increase his sickness and his sufferings. During the horse’s sick ness, he must be dieted in the following manner : cut straw and bran ; bis 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 I is used with success. I am, with esteem, yours, M. MEN TELLE. THE COTTON CROP. To the Editors of the New-Orleans Bulletin: Gentlemen : —My attention has 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 be a large one. The Now-York Herald of the Ist inst. says— “ The growing crop lias in most sections j got a good stand, and the quantity planted is even greater than ever before, exceeding e ven the prodigious crop of last year,” (al luding to the crop of 1839 of 2,200,000 bales.) And in that excellent sheet, Cook & Levy’s Prices Current, of the past week, j we are told that the present crop of Cotton, 1 all accounts concur in stating were never more, promising. 1 quote this last from the j memory, but it is the sense. Without mul- j tiplying quotations from papers, all of j which have partaken more or less in simi- \ lar statements, the above are sufficient for j the purpose of calling the attention of both j planters and merchants to this subject. Similar publications to these, made thro ■ ugliout the Cotton region in the months of j May, June, July, August and September, [ of the year 1838, I am persuaded, cost the planting interest two millions of dollars. To convince any one of this, let them pe- j 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 1,800,000 hales ; and then let him add the I'act, that the crop of 1838, instead of equal ing, fell 420,000 short of the year before, j and 1 think they will be satisfied 1 have not I over-estimated the actual loss to the plant er ; when it is also borne in mind that Cot ton advanced as much as 3!) per cent, up on the opening price before the Ist of ’ March. Ido not suppose, by any means, i that it was the intention of the Editors of the j public journals thus to prostrate the plant , er—far from it. But such will always be 1 the effect of such publications, when made 1 without proper data to go upon. Whether 1 l shall be able to throw any light upon this S subject the sequel will unfold. If any gen tlemen has better data to go upon, he owes it to the planting and commercial interest to make it public. When I became a planter, my enquiries 1 soon satisfied my mind that every gentle ! man had, sui generis, a way of guessing pe -1 culiar to himself, and no fixed principle on which to form his opinion. This induced me to make a planting register, in which j the time of planting, coming up, growth, : blooming, opening, &c. were all carefully ; noted, with observations on the weather.— ! The doing of this has given me the follow ing results: My 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 j erally from the same time each year. Now 1 the result. j The crop of Cotton in 1836 was in bloom ] iho 4th day of June, and the crop yielded 1,500,000 bales. The crop of 18*37 was in bloom the 28th day of May, and yielded 1,800,000. The crop of 1838 was in bloom the 14th day of June, and yielded 1,350,000 bales. 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 be found in many other papers, is wholly unwarranted. If it is continued to be done, I hope they will give a sensible data, and j 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, j with hut few exceptions, and therefore I do : not believe more Cotton is planted as stau ted. It is also a fuct 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 that 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 iiad frost the 14th October. In 1837, we had frost 27th October. In 1838, we had frost the 7th of October. In 1839, we bad frost the’ 7th November. In 1840, we had frost the 17th of October. I speak of frost sufficient 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 bo obtained will meet my appro bation, and I doubt not but also the appro bation of the planters generally. But in the meantime, 1 do protest against such va garies and random guesses at the growing crop, should he 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- I red the next year, and holds off. and the planter I really believe loses more byjt greatly than he gained in excess the year before. This goes clearly to establish the principle that fairness in trade and conse quently in estimating the crop is the only safe foundation for prosperity to cotton buy ers us well as the cotton planters. I think some plan should be adopted calculated to secure this, and for one it shall have inv hearty concurrence and support. In speaking of the cotton crops of the va rious years referred to, it will be 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- j tion over 32 deg. of north latitude, and con sequently near the centre of the cotton ro gion. Respectfully, your ob’t. servant, B. 11. 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. I Colton in bloom. Frost.

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 the some date of the present year they amount to 324,679 cwt. thus exhibit ing an increase of 255,157 cwt. This large increase docs 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. j i: 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 arc promoted liy 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 be 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—he 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.

TAYLOR’S BALSAM OF LIVERWORT HAS been used successfully for eight years in the cure of these diseases. 03” Re member ! the original and genuine is made only at 375 Bowery, N. Y-, ALL others are spurious and unauthorized ! 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 difficult breathing, and seems to heal the chest. There can be no question, but this medicine is a certain cure for 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. 53 Spitting of 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 the 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. But 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. 13” 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 I 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 flo medicine would re lieve. She continued m this way for a long time, under the medical care of Dr. Rea, hut li naliy 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 instantei ; and we had the pleasure of witnessing her rapid recovery to health Rev.

By 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 the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and pursued with unremitting energy to the present, the State 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 ol the Union. There is but one alternative, hi 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. Ile 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 the 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 the 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 coirect Map, Geography, or history of the same. A majority of the citizens 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 of the State, m collecting materials for a complete report of 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 of the survey of the remainiug counties of the Slate, and that they shall be finished as they, will be needed for publication.
