KEEP VOIR COTTO.Y AT HOME.
Oar correspondent, “A Planter, makes
a sensible suggestion, supported by cogent
reasons, to which w'e invite the attention
of cotton planters :
Mr. Editor : Dependent as wo are, for
final peace and independence upon the
possession of a great staple, indispensable
to the commercial world, and relying up
on our monopoly of the cotton crop for the
acquisition of an honorable peace among
the nations of the world ; and, if the war
continues, for credit aud means for its suc
cessful prosecution, it behooves us to adopt
every precaution to protect our cotton—
the foundation of our power aud prosperi
ty—from seizure or disaster,
I would press upon our planters, there
fore, the expediency of retaining their
cotton in the interior as much as possible.
By crowding it into tlie large market towns
and seaports, t h ey tv ill subject them selves to
an expense and risk which would be unnec
essary. Until the blockade of the ports has
ceased, or there appears a prospect of its
early cessation, there can be no market, or a
very languid one. By placing his cotton
in the market towns, the planter will in
cur the storage and other expenses for a
prolonged and indefinite time, or must sell
at a saciifice.
No greater inducement can be offered
to the Lincoln Government for an .attack
upon any city or seaport, or for a continu
anco of the blockade, than the presence
there of a large quantity of cotton. Cities
will be the chief objects of attack next
winter, should the war continue; the
country, they well know, is unassailable.
Place one million of bales of cotton in
New Orleans nr any other port, and tbe
Pederai Government could cheaply af
ford to expend five millions of dollars
aud employ an army of one hundred
thousand men for the capture of such a
prize. If Lincoln’s pirates and filibusters
were unable to effect its seizure, his secret
incendiaries might effect its destruction.—
No better bait could be offered to tbe Brit
ish and French to continue their non-in
tervention policy, than lor Lincoln’s Gov
ernment to say to them “keep hands off in
this quarrel,and when wo have captured the
ports, the cotton accumulated therein shall
go out to Liverpool or Havre, as it always
has done. Better do this would Seward
say, or even help tiie North, and permit
trade to resume its former steady course,
than by provoking this war with ns, ren
der your supplies quite precarious, uncer
tain and liable to capture on their passage
across the Atlantic.”
With the crop stored in cities at a few
assailable points, such would be tbe North
ern argument to foreigners—scattered
through the country, it would he beyond
the reach of the enemy, and cottou would
still be King.
Is it not apparent that it is better that
cotton should be kept in interior towns,
accessible to tbe chief markets in a few
days ; or better still, be stored by tbe plan
ter himself at homo until there is a pros
pect of a revival of trade 1 A Planter.
Cotton Factors to the Planters.—
The following card, signed by one hun
dred and five firms in New Orleans, we
find in the Picayune :
“The undersigned, cotton factors in the
city of New Oileans, in view of the inter
ests of all parties, recommend to their va
rious customers and correspondents not to
ship any portion of their crops of cotton to
that city, or not to remove it from their
plantations, until the blockade is fully and
entirely abandoned, of which event due
notice will be given.
New Orleans, July 17, 1861.
however that this impression was er
roneous. and that the crops produced from
this 6eed, at| present bid fair to equal if
they do uot exceed those planted in the
Georgia raised corn. In support of this,
we were showu on the lOtb inst. a full
grown ear, raised by Capt. Holamon, of
Dooly county, from the Western seed —
The Capt. says that he planted about the
first of March and cultivated in the usual
, way. The stalks arc all low, few of them
exceeding four and a half feet in height
but the ears are large and well filled out.
The one shown us, was neatly dry enough
for griuding.—Pulaski Times, 18/A.
RAIN irmE SniSER MOMllS.
For some reason the fall of rain in tlie
summer months appears to diminish from
year to year in certain districts of the
South. If this diminution continues, some
of our readers will have to irrigate all sum
mer crops, or cease trying to grow them at
a profit. In our hot summer climate, corn,
cotton and potatoes need much fresh wa
ter in June, July and August; and
where rains are almost unknown in
these months, extra pains should be ta
ktpn, by deep plowing, to store up in the
subsoil any excess of water that may fall
in the winter and spring months for the
use of cultivated plants in the three suc
ceeding months. We receive from the
clouds rain enough in the course of a yeai,
but it is often quite unequally distributed.
Art will have to aid nature in supplying
moisture to" arated soil at the time when
crops suffer from drouth. This injury is
not wholly unavoidable. Water may be
stored up in ponds to be used in dry
weather, and obtained from well, springs
and creeks. In many places steam power
may be employed to elevate water from riv
ers or wells for Irrigating purposes. But tbe
greatest good is likely to result from the
growth of more winter crops, such as win
ter wheat, winter oats, barley, rye, peas,
turnips, and winter grasses. All these
European staples will mature in Georgia
before any serious drouth is likely to occur;
and such of our readers as fail to make
good corn or cotton should turn their at
tention to one, or all, of the winter crops
we, have named.
Prepare ground early and thoroughly
for wheat, oats, rye and barley, and thus
make the most of tbe fall, winter and
spring rains stored up in a deeply mel
lowed grain field. Cultivate fewer acres
and do all the tillage, far better to give tlie
moisture in the atmosphere a fair chance
to permeate every particle of stirred earth.
There is nothing like mixing the fertili-
izers in the air w ith those in the soil aud
subsoil.—Field Fireside.
FORK OR SPADE.
The time-honored spade is falling into
disgrace. Look at yonder son of Erin as
he d rives the shining blade into the moist
loam, and heaves out a square compressed
mass, two sides of which are smooth and
compressed as possible. If you are stand
ing near or working by his side, he will
hit it a rap and crumble the top of it a lit
tle, while the mass probably remains in
tact. The ground will be leveled off with
a rake, and the lumps will bake slowly,
and remain likely enough, hard and im
pervious all summer, if the ground is not
deeply worked again. When spading is
cone in very dry weather, it is not liable
to the same objection in degree, yet it
leaves the soil always more or less lumpy.
IIow different it is with tbe use of the
fork. The spading fork is found of various
forms in the shop. We prefer one of nai-
row tines, rather long and very thick,
made of good steel. A good quality of
steel is very important, for often a single
tine stiiking a stone or stick, has to take
instantly the whole force of the blow or
shove. The tines should be thick, as con
siderable prying po». er is often required ;
ana they should be narrow, that the earth
may be no more compressed than is neces
sary. A fork like this may be driven much
deeper with the same force. It will lift
tlie earth quite as well as a spade, and
without packing it. If roots of trees, pulbs,
or anything of the kind are present, there
is littlo probability that they will be injur
ed, if care is used, and the ground may
he loosened sufficiently in many cases
without lilting the earth at all, in a way
to bare tbe roots.
Tbe fork, in fact, may be used wherever
the spade can be, and a shovel is not more
desirable—we do not claim for it superior
ity in shoveling sand or gravel—and it
may be used it; many places where a spade
cannot be used. About trees, in raspber
ry, currant or vine borders, especially, will
the fork be found of incalculable service,
and the spade should be banished forth
with.—Homestead.
Profits of Turkey Raising.—A writer
in the Genncssee Farmer says : I saw a
statement under “Maine Items,” that tur
key raising, as a general result, was not
very profitable. This neither agrees with
our experience nor observation. We know
of many farmers who rely on their turkeys
to pay their rents, and we are satisfied
that it costs us less to make a pound of tur
key than a pound of pork, and it usually
brings fis nearly twice as much in market.
As to their being difficult to raise, we
think them no more so than chickens ; nor
do we think that a turkey of from 14 lbs.
to 20 lbs. costs us more than a chicken of
from 3 lbs. to 4 lbs. We were conversing
with a farmer yesterday, who is very well
qualified to judge in tlie matter. He in
formed us that the first year lie used a
bronze cock, he raised one hundred young
turkeys, and sold fifty at one time in mar
ket for §100, and, said he, “I do not think
that the hundred turkeys cost me mo^e
than a hundred chickens at the same age.”
This was in accordance with our own ex
perience, and we are satisfied that no stock
on the farm which we fatten gives as great
profit as turkeys.
Western Corn.—A short time ago, tl •
general impression seemed to be, that
those of our farmers who had used the
Western, or sack corn for planti >g purpo
ses would in the present crop, make a
complete failuie We arc happy to learn
Need for Cotton at tiie North.—A
New York paper, of ie< - ent date, says :
The last bale of cotton, in all probabili
ty, which the South will send us this year,
has been stored some time ago, and the
total stock now on the market, (including
what may be yet uncleared on shipboard,)
does not exceed 27,000 bales. At the rate
of last week's sales to exporters and spin
ners. tbis stock will have been exhausted
by the last week in July, American spin
ners will then have nothing to do, perforce,
unless the dealers here commence import
ing cotton from Liverpool. “Coals to
Newcastle !” Nevertheless, we expect
this will be the programme. But as Eng
lish manufactures will probably not let
any great amount of the stock of cotton
leave Liverpool, unless at [trices entirely
precluding its use at Manchester, we do
not expect that American spinners can
possibly operate longer than until the mid
dle of August, unless a small supply is
received from some point South or West
of New York, which does uot seem at all
probable. The man who owns one hun
dred bales of cotton on tbe 1st day of Au
gust next will be able to sell at prices with
out comparison since the United States
has produced this world-esteemed staple.
An order on Liverpool for cotton for this
market was forwarded by Saturday’s
steamer, and will be followed by similar
orders—a strange fact.
Save Your Coffee Grounds.—The
price of coffee is waking up some of tlie
lovers of the beverage to the subject of fu
ture supplies. The prospect is that there
will be hut small additions to the present
stock to the Soutb, for a long time to come;
therefore, any suggestion is valuable show
ing how to make it. A practical man sug
gests to us that by saving our coffee
grounds, drying them, and grinding them
over again for use a second time, they will
be made serviceable for a second decoc
tion. He says that coffee grounds are a
regular article of purenase and sale in the
large cities of the North. The large ho
tels have standing contracts for them, and
make quite a saving in this way.
As coffee is usually ground and boiled
among our people, it is possible that not
much more than half the strength is ex
tracted.
Let us borrow a useful hint from the
thrifty people of the North. Certainly “it
is lawful to be taught by the enemy.” Ma
ny such things cau be learned from them
to our profit.
Sfperior Woolen Goods.—The Consti
tutiona/ist of yesterday lias tbe following
notice of some samples of woolen goods
which it would he well for our dealers to
examine :
We have several specimens of woollen
goods, received from tlie Crenshaw AYool-
len Mills, at Richmond, Ya., which are of
excellent quality. They embrace a vnric-
of stuffs, for coats and pantaloons, and
are fine and durable. Among them, also,
is a piece of blanket which is very heavy
and a handsome article. Indeed, all of
the samples in our possession indicate a
degree of perfection in woollen manufac
tures which we did not suppose that we
had reached here in the South. ’The evi
dence before us is exceedingly gratifying,
and we hope that arrangements will be
made for tlie sale of these goods, not only
in this city, but throughout the South.—
They are worthy of public encouragement.
Cement for China, &c.—The following
recipe is taken from an English almanac,
and is said to answer admirably, the frac
ture being scarcely visible after the article
lias been repaired :
“Take a very thick solution of gum ara-
bic, dissolved in water, and stir into it
plaster of Paris until tlie mixture becomes
a viscious paste. Apply it with a brush to
tlie fractured edges, and stick them togeth
er. In three days the article cannot be
broken in the same place. The whiteness
of the cement renders it doubly valuable.
Another Effect of Blockade —
Messrs, AY. AY. have now on
sale, at their store, sejVral pair of ladies’
lace gloves knitted in Charleston. The
idea of making up glpves for our market
would never have hfen thought of if the
Y ankees had the supplying us.—
However, thejCJ|*^WOTi made article,
though a-firil trial iu the manufacture, is
considered equal Xn every respect to the
Northern glovo. |We also saw a knitted
lace shawl, of superior fineness, also done
up iu tbis city.—Mercury, 13/4
