" A« K i- From the Chronicle k Sentinel. Bewnra> We learn that there is considerable feeling, if not actual excitement, among Sima of our planting friends upin the suhjeet of ootton rai.-ingnext year. The recent statements of heavy results ob tained from planting cotton this year by a few of onr roost industrious, enter prising and intelligent planters has giv ■ en to the production of cotton in this State a sort of Utopian character, which ) may lead to the ruin oi many of our cit zeos. The largo result?, so far, Which have be.... obtained, have been confined to am H patches, andcanDot be regarded as anything like a fair test of what cotton planting on a large, or even moderately largo scale will produce. We do not uoubt but that two, throe, or even five bales of cotton have been made and may he again made on one acre ; but we do not believe that such results are attain able in the culture of a largo crop.— Doubtless thorough tillage, high ma nuring and an improved and intelligent system of cultivation will enable the thrifty and industrious planter, who lives upon and personally directs the operations of his plantation, to make ftptgrr crops than have heretofore been possiblo on our old exhaust lands. But he who expeets to reach such results upon a large plantation as Mr, Bancroft has obtained upon a small town lot, will he sadly disappoint ed. We do not pretend to say that the same amount of money expended for fertilizers and tho same quantity of la bor bestowed nptn one acre by Mr. Bancroft, will not produce like results if applied to each acre, in a hundred or a thousand aero field. What we insist upon is this: While a prudent man may expend twenty or thirty dollars per acre for fertilizers for a small patch, the same man would not risk two or three thousand dollars on an hundred acres, when he considers the uncertainty of our season and the liability of our sea sons and the liability of the plant to be ruined with rust or destroyed by worms. We would be rejoiced to know that all our planters were carefully and pru dently moving in the direction indicated by the experiments of Mr. Bancroft, Mr Dickson and other intelligent planters, but we should be sorry to hear that any of them had attempted to invest even twenty dollars per acre for fertilizers on a very large scale for the next crop.— Not only is the uncertainty of the sea sons and the amount of the crop to bo considered in this connection, but what is of quite as much importance the price which it may bear next year is to be taken into consideration. With the staple at twenty-five cents or even twenty cents a pound, money can be madeby planting provided the plan ter makes his own provisions. We in cline to doubt, however, if money can be made when all the corn, long forage and provisions for the planter’s family and bis laborers have to be bought at the present high prices. Neither do wo be lieve that much clear money can be made upon rented lands. When the rent is paid, tho laborer paid, tho pro visions paid for, the loss of work ani n)u , ' , J and the wear and tear of farming imp’"Bents are paid for, ihero will be bat little left to the profit side of ac count. Our eye has just fallen upon a statement made in one of our State ex- that a tract of land of two hun dred sud eighty-five acros in Polk coun ty, recently rented for twenty seven hun dred dollars, or within a fraction of tei: doiiais per acre. The reason why it | brought so much is stated to be, be- j cause “it is among the best ootton places in the State.” Now when the renter of ! that plase pays for his labor and pro visi'D?, and then deducts from his crop hundred dollars for rent wo sh#ll be greatly surprised if he has a sickle dollai left in the way of profits. \Vc trust ;b»t wo do not under-esti mate either the importance or the profits under proper and judicious management j of cutton planting, neither would we dts- j courage our p in’ers from using liberal j supplies of the best aod most reliable j fertilisers. Wo know that much money i has been made through the intelligent use of ecinmert ai manures as applied to tbs cultivation of oar great staple. Our ‘ object is simply to warn our planting friends of the great danger they are in of being led away under the present high prices of cotton by the Aladdan like storiea of three and tire hales of co*- tor. Falina lent* is a good maxim for planters as well as politicians Children otawl befote they learn to walkl Let us try to mteka profitably one bale per acre before we attempt to. reach five.— When we perfect a system which will insure a bale for each acre planted, it will be time enough to take thought for ■tore. .

TIIE APPETITE FOR TOBACCO DESTROYED I Leave off Chewing and Smoking the Poisonous 1 Vied, Tobacco. One box of Orton’s Preparation is warran ted to destroy tha appetite for Tobacco, in any person, so matter how strong tbo habit may be. If it fails in any case the money I will be refunded. It is perfectly safe andO harmless in all cases. It is almost im-fl possible to break off the use of Tobacco.* oy tbe mere exercise of tbe will. Some-1 thing is needed to Rssist nature is over ■ ■HUSH lll —I oming a habit so firmly rooted. Witl ■ he help of the preparation, there is no I he least trouble. Hundreds have used ig who are willing to bear witness to the fact, that Orton’s Preparation completely destroys the appetite fbr Tobacco, and leaves the per eon as free ftom any desire for it, as before he commenced its use. 7be Preparation acts directly upon the same glands and secretions affected by tobacco, and through those upon the blood, thoroughly cleaning the poison of Tobacco from the system and thus allaying the uunatural cravings for Tobacco. No more banksring foi Tobacco after using Or ton’s Preparation. Recollect it is warranted. RECOMMENDATIONS. The following are a few seclected from the multitude of recommendations iu our posses sion. From W. V. Heald, Esq , Bangor, Me. Bangor, Maine, April 14/A, 1868. I heicby certify that I have used Tobacco for thirty years past, and for the last fifteen yeats I have used two pounds per month I have made attempts to leave off at diiferent times. I have left olf one j ear at a time, but always continued to hanker for it till I used Orion’s Preparation, which has completely cured me ot tne appetite for Tobacco. I would recommend all who are afflicted with this terrible habit, to try the Preparation which will certainly cure if the directions are followed. W. P. ligaux From E. W. Atkins, Knoxville, Tenn. Knoxville , lean., August hth, 1867. This is to certify, that I bad used Tobacco to such an extent, that my health had be come greatly impaired, aDd mv whole system deranged and broken down, in June, 1867, I purchased one box of Orton’s Preparation, and after using it I found that I was com pletely cured. I have not had any desire or hunkering for Tobacco since using the Prep aration. i bcaevc it to be ail that it is rec ommended, and I would advise all who wish to quit the use of Tobacco, to try one box of Ortun’s .Preparation. E. W. Amiss. From John Morrill, Bangor, Maine. Bangor, Maine, March 3]«f, 1868. This is to Certify, that 1 used Tobacco for 18 years ; havo tried many times to break off, but have suffered so much from a dizziness iu my head, and a guawing in my stomach that 1 lui*e soon given up the trial. A short time | .-ince r a friend induced me to lay Orton’s I Preparation, (sold bv you.) I have done so j a:. J am completely cured. 1 did not io the least hanker after Tobacco, either to smoko or chew, after I began to use the Prepara tion. John „Voauu.x.
