Kven improved varieties of cot ton on rich bottom lauds’deterior ate in a few years unless meas ures are continually put forth to prevent it. The character of the seed must be sustained where a large yield and a prime article are desired. Cotton seed like corn or wheal is improved by cut tivating the plant in the best manner, under most favorable circumstances, and then selecting from each vigorous stalk those bolls which are the largest, finest and perfectly matured. To be gin with, these plants ought (o have tome from good seed seed ginned from an extra quality of cotton which produced largely to the acre. The planter intent on having ; only tho best selects the most promising bolls t hat open before frost. For productiveness these I are taken from tho plants which ! boast of the greatest number of perfect bolls; care is observed to secure 1 lie holts | which discloses the linest and softest or longest and strongest of staple. This is ginned separate ly from the remainder of the crop, and after ginning the seed is sorted over that it may be freed 1 from all blasted, imperfectly formed and not fully developed specimens. It is then carefully i stored in shed or loft, where the air lias free access, to prevent fermentation and insure it against becoming in any way damaged previous to planting time. While ! the variety of seed employed is of great importance, even more so is its condition at planting time. ■Seed that has been exposed to winter rains in a great pile near the gin house, as is frequently the practice, is almost certain to become heated by fermentation and its germinating power large ly if not entirely destroyed. Planters in localities where the lands are not propitious to the improvement of cotton find that if is economy in the end to secure seed from cotton raised where j the soil is peculiarly titled totliis j staple ; as, for instance, if impro l veil varieties of upland cot ton are desired, obtain seed grown in the vicinity of Vicksburg, where Colonel Vick, one of the most successful of planters in perfect ! ing cotton, operated. If long sta pie or sea island cotton is the choice, seed from plants grown on the coast of South Carolina, especially in the vicinity south 'of Charleston, will be found a mong tfie best. Experience has proven that success in the im provement of cotton seed depend much upon locality as well as care in cultivation, Sumac industry. Until within a comparatively short time almost the entire a mount of sumac used in this conn try was imported, and now the home supply is far inferior to the demand. American sumac, that of Virginia particularly, has been i pronounced superior to the finest Sicily,■’■which, hy the way, corn mantis the highest price in the market. While the cultivation of sumac has not been attempted here, the plant grows abundantly in a wild state, and since the war the collection and preparation of its leaves lias assumed considera ble importance, especially in the State of Virginia, the headquar ters of the industry being at Rich mond. Increased interest in the sub ject points to the probability of sumac culture at no distant fn- j i l l re ; indeed, a project is on foot by the department at Washington it appears, to introduce this cul lure in some of the Southern States. For the benefit of The Woulo. correspondents who havemade rceerft inquiries in relation to this increasing industry, the mode of cultivation and the preparation of the leaves, both as followed in Sicily and at home, are here giv en. in Sicily the suckers are planted in rows about four feet apart, and the shoots are yearly cut hack to within a few inches of the ground, the crop for the next year being furnished by the new stems which push from the stump;. The shoots are dried and threshed, and the leaves finally ground between mill stones and bolted; the powder is put into sacks upwards of ono hundred and fifty pounds each for ship meat. In the United States the gathering begins any time after j maturity—about the first of duly —and continues until frost. Tlie i smooth, the stag’s horn and the i mountain sumacs are collected | indiscriminately; but as the first named is most abundant the pro ! duct consists chielly of that. The j leaves only being desirable, gatli- J erers adopt, according ns they j consider more expeditious, either the plan of picking them from the bushes by hand or cutting otf (he ! leafy tops and beating after dry- : ing them. In the latter case all' the small twigs broken in thresh ing have to be removed. The | leaves spread out in some dry j place should be turned frequent ly to facilitate drying. Ragging J is best delayed until tho time oi\ sending to market. The whole | process is quite simple, depend ing upon two points for its suc cess—having the sumac free from stems and other foreign substance and thoroughly curing tho leaves before placing in large bulk or into bags. It is also important to gather the leaves before frost after which they become inferior in quality, and it, is equally nee essary t-liat these be cured in the shade, as the action of the sun impairs their strength for tanning I purposes. In this country it, is not eus ■ tomary for the gatherers to grind their own sumac, but to send it to one of the many mills which are springing up all over the i Southern and middle States. Al I t hough sumac grows spontaneous j ly in nearly every portion of the United States the Northern eli | mate appears too cold for the de- I velopment of the tanning proper I ties of the plant. Yet large quail I ities of Pennsylvania and New York sumac are sold in tho leal to tanners of goat skins, who put jit in vats to strengthen up and j keep the sewed skins from leak j ing, and it is also employed to ; brighten the colors of leather. Su ! mac grown in that belt, of country | running from Maryland down | through Virginia and the Garoli nas and extending to Georgia, : Alabama and Mississippi and part of Kentucky and Tennessee is the I best suited for tanning and dye i ing purposes. Tho towns most I famous for this sumac trade are Richmond, Fredericksburg, Alex j andria and Winchester, in Vir ginia. Homo Supply of Pork at Ihe SOUTH. | The peculiar advantages offer led to swine growers in the soil, ! climate and products oft he South I era States, where.the hog thrives | and make pork in spite of neglect., points to this animal as a meatus j —and no insignificant one -for farm economy. The hog is not on ly among the most prolific of all domestic animals, but it renders < quick and paying returns of small capital invested, and furnishes a I large proportion of the animal food consumed hy southern pen pie. Abundant home supplies of i pork cannot be too earnest ly urg ed upon the planters; the sooner! hog pastures, fattening pens, and | smoke houses become prominent. : features on southern farms the j sooner will the millions of dollars I now being spent in buying bacon | from Western States be kept for | : circulation at home. Where a regular system is a dopted sows whch do not produce > i two litters a year are rejected as | breeders and converted into ba con, It is generally considered j best to have one litter to come in the spring, about March, and the 1 other in September. The fall pigs I have the benefit of runs on pofa to, chiifa, pea fields, Ac., and get a fair start for winter at almost no cost. Corn, oatmeal, turnips,' and other food, in addition, will carry them through until spring without great increase of expense; but under no condition will it pay to allow shoals to become poor; it is policy to keep them constantly growing. The spring litters should now be making progress towards the slaughtci house. With proper care and feed they will make ex cellent porkers by the month of December. As less! feed is re quired to llutten \in moderately warm weather, there is no louT to be lost; Bearigdsoih mind the fact that a varied diet of natural* iood not only fattens but insure* • health.
