Tbe land has however been heavily

rich as a garden—save one acre and a
half which has been brought into cnlti
vation for tbe first time thia year. The
corn is a double eared corn that I got at
York, Penn., three years ago, and will
yield t more on rioh land, in my opin
ion, than the common variety will. It is
also about or nearly three weeks earlier
than the ordinary corn. But it is sub

invaluable on aooonnt of its early matur

O UR attention haa been called by one of <

tion of the Cotton and the large low attending
it, caused by the bad guminjr and seed being
mixed with the lint Cotton. The low from this
eoonroe is estimated at near one cent per lb.
This would make an aggregate of one hundred
thousand dollars, a Urge amount to be lost to
the community at a time like the present. One
of the causes of this loss is the tea condition oi
the gins; another is that the gins were not made
to gin the little seed Ootton: we are prepar
