Bow Can Wo Boise Cotton Cheaply.
As we suggested in our last number, it
is not wholly, or mainly, on account of
small crops or low prices that our farm
ing fails to pay a fair- profit on the capital
and labor employed in the business. We
may make better crops, and that is one
of the points to be kept constantly in
•view, but we shall hardly get higher prices
than the average of the past few years.
The principal difficulty with us, however,
lies in the cost of making our crops. The
outgoes are too heavy. The expease of
making a bushel of com or a pound of
cotton is too great. To make farming
more profitable, we must cheapen pro -
duction. If it cost fourteen cents a pound
to make cotton, it is evidently a losing
business, when we get no more than that
for it in market, less the factor's com
mission. But suppose we can make a
pound of cotton for ten cents or for - seven
conts, then the lowest prices likely to rale
for a long time to come will give us a
profit. How to make cotton cheaply is
what we want to know. Planters, let us
hrve your experience on this point. Let
every one who has succeeded in reducing
the cost of production in the cotton crop,
either by improved methods of cultivation,
or by lalror saving appliances, tell us how
it was done. What is the lowest cost
at which upland cotton can be made per
pound of lint?—Rural Carolinian.
Making a Good Beginning.
A bad beginning may make a good
ending, as the adage has it, sometimes;
but a good beginning is much better—in
fact, in fanning, at least. things generally
go wrong through the whole year, if our
operations are not promptly and judi
cously commenced at the beginning of
the season. It is easy to get oil' the
track but hard to get on again. Above
all, as we have repeatedly urged, make
your arrangements for good provision
crops of all kinds. After this do what
you can in cotton. All the teachings of
the last few years points to diversified
industry as the policy and hope of the
South. It is well that we grow cotton.
W e can grow it with profit, if we manage
in a sensible way ; and Lie world wants
and must have it but if we grow nothing
else, we shall, as we have done in the
past enrich others while impoverishing
ourselves. Aim to make the plantation
or the farm self-sustaining. There are
crops wliich it would not pay to raise
for market which it docs pay - to raiso for
home supply. Cotton is a good thing,
but not to eat.
Measuring Lightning.—The length of a
flesh of lightning is generally greatly
under-estimated. The largest known was
measured by M. F. Petit, at Toulouse.
The flush was ten and a half miles long.
Arago once measured a series, which
averaged from seven to eight miles in
length. The longest interval ever re
marked between a flash and the report
was seventy-two seconds, which would
correspond with a distance of fourteen
miles. Direct researches have shown
that a storm is seldom heard at a greater
distance than from seven to ten miles,
while the average are barely heard over
four or five miles oil'. Tins fact is the
more curious as connon may be distinctly
heard double or treble that distance, and
special cases much further.
A man is so much more polite in
church. He is on dress parade, as it
were. Nobody was surprised to see that
young man last Sunday, dive suddenly
into the bottom of the pew to pick up
her parasol. When he was at the bottom
he saw the embroidered edge of her pock
et handkerchief sticking from under the
edge of her dress, he commenced tugging
at it when there was a fierce struggle and
a little hand darted down.—He came up
without it. There were two rod faces in
the sanctuary to which the calm of the
blessed Sabbath seemed to bring no re
lief. But he was a young man that meant
well.

The Western lumbermen propose to call
a convention for the purpose of seeing
what measures can betaken for the protec
tion and preservation of the lumber forests
of the Northwest. An authority in the
matter gives the total pine resources of
North America as 248,540,000,000 feet,
and states furthermore, that the pine crop
east of the Rocky mountains will be used
up in five years. The estimate—the hit
ter part of it at least—is unquestionably
exaggerated but if measures are not taken
for the renewal of our forests, or their pre
servation, we shall have a lumber famine
in the country in less than a score of
years. The lumbermen are not looking
after the matter any too soon. In Iowa,
the railroads have offered to carry trees
for transplanting free of cost, and some
other State corporations have been nearly
as generous. There is now a bill before
Congress providing that any person who
shall plant, protect and keep in good con
dition for eight years, forty acres of tim
ber on any quarter section of public land,
shall l>e entitled to a patent of them at
the end of that time.
Experiments, and How to Make
Them.—Experiments in agriculture
are often exceedingly deceptive, and
thousands of farmers are yearly led
astray by them. But experiments
properly made and carefully recorded
are nevertheless of the utmost value.
Properly made experiments take ac
count of many circumstances, such as
the nature of the soil and its previous
treatment and condition; the character
of the season, whether dry or wet, and
the amount and quality of cultivaiton
given the crop. It is for the want oi
this careful discrimination that they
are deceptive, and often mislead
instead of guiding aright the novice
and the inquirer.
A KNOWLEDGE OF SOIL.
An observing and judicious fanner will
not be slow in obtaining a knowledge of
the soil on his farm. Perhaps wc should
say “soils,” for frequently it happens that
on one farm there are several var ieties of
soil. A writer in the Country Gentleman
says:
There are truths that apply to all soils.
But there are also truths—and they are
many—-that apply only to localities, and
these differ according to locality. Hence
book knowledge has only a general appl:
cation. There must be a knowledge of
the particular - soil worked. This can
only be acquired by pr actice—by working
the soil and noting its effects. * Analysis
will acquaint us with the nrateriar of
which the soil is composed. Yet there
is something beside this that is important;
some of this is known, and some is
entirely in the dark. Who knows, for
instance, what causes the superior quality
of tobacco raised in some soils apjrarently
the same as the contiguous land, which
produce an inferior kind? This is common
£wl and of Cuba- ^ere our best
tt ° \ s an inferior quality.
Hence a local knowledge of farming is in
dispensable to success. Books pohrt ordv
magenera! way. A complete Lence of
agriculture requires a knowledge of the
localities, as science is the result of knowl
«age. It will therefore be seen how much
there is to do for the farmer: he must rely
upon himself, see and note accurately
I have seen this beautifully illustrated
meases that I know of. Only the best
nwmeis; and these not necessarily the
best educated, but always and necessarily
those haying the best acquaintance with
soiL The two, a local and general
knowledge, combined, are the highest
reqmate. Then thorough work and
fkminga safe ’

testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
physicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief and
cure of all Lung complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sel

Balsam does not dry up a
Cough, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses the
lungs, and allays irritation,
thus removing the cause of
