C. Duncan, of Perry, at tho lair in Atlanta, in 1870, on this essay, k The following system for tho culture of c tton will do for all practical pur poses and if ftllowed will generally succeed in the cotton belt of the Souths ern States. Ist Let the ground be thoroughly broken with a long narrow turning plow where tho clay is near the surface let u lung scooter plow be run in the fu row following the turning plow. The land sli utd be flroken by the Ist of March and care taken nut to plow when too wet. 2nd. About tho Ist oil May mence preparing the land to plant as fol* Run off the rows first with a fourteen inch plow and in this furrow distribute the fertilizers, and then form the beds with a very narrow turning plow j this plow should not be more than three inch es wide The distance between the rows must be determined by the quality uf the land, but the rows should under no cir cumstances be le-s than b ( J inches wide. ‘dd. About three days after the beds arc formed commence planting. And, if a planter is used run a board over the beds and be careiul to com mence planting within three days after the formation of the beds. 4th As soon as a stand is secured run u sweep on both sides of the cotton and within a week ; fter tho pl<>wJ have passed over, commence chopping the cotti-n to a stand and be careiul to bring the cotton to a stand the first chop ping and leave no sprig of grass near the root of toe stalk : follow this chopping with in a week with a thorough plowing aud after this work with the hoes and * ing sweeps at least once every two weeks until the same is laid by sth. In conclusion I w uld say that my experience leaches me that the great point in making a crop is thoroughly preparing the land for the seed ; and a cotton crop is half made when properly planted A strong plow team and fast working will keep down tbe grass which is after all the great enemy of the cot" too plant, and causes more failures than any other cause. Jlloav to Better Farming.—A cor respondent of tile Prairie Farmers gives the following very sensible advice . Rut the serious question : How shall this system be commenced ?” This is asked as well by the farmer who has i.uliicieut money wherewith to improve his farm, as by one whose daily labor upon the farm only sufiices to earn bis bread. It is aa difficult a problem for tbe one as tor the other. \\ e find by experience that in this process one most needs “make haste slowly” if he looks for profit and the closer be looks to his own resources for materials instead of unwisely spending his money for out* side help or material, the more economi cal will be his progress. It is also ncc„ essary that lal>>r or money shall be on* ly expended in such a way that it ahull tell in the shape oi profits. For instance it is far more profitable to have a good p g in a poor pen. so lung us it is suffi/ cient for proper shelter than to have a poor pig iu a costly pen and tho same with other stock and with their stables and with crops and barus. Tiie Western Rural says, ‘AY here meat smoking is practiced on a large scale, a house adapted for the purpose should be erected. Avery good substi tute is obtained by means of an empty sugar hogshead. In the inside bottom tix a sufficient number of hooks to sus pend the hams. Get a quantity ol saw dust, (oak is rest-,) lay it on the ground in a circular form, so that it may be covered by the hogshead. I urn up the hogshead; so that the mouth is cu the ground. Ilang up the hams upon the hooks, set fire to the sawdust, and if the draft of air is required prop up the side of the hogshead about an inch with a small stone. The sawdust will smould er and the hams may be used as soon a s smoked ” This method has been followed in Pennsyieania for more than 50years, and answers very well wnen the hams are few in number. — German ** toim Telegraph. German Toast.— To one egg bea ten well add one cup of sweet milk or cream season with a little salt and pep X)n. Cut stale bread in slices dip in the uiiik to moisten, and fry in butter on a grido’e. This is a nice dish for break* fast. L’uequknt cultivation and stirring of he soil in dry weather, presenting thus more points of attraction to the atmos phere and heavier deposits of dew\ is : he best remedy for the effects of drought while deep plowing is its best proven' t've. .Stove lustre, when mixed with tur*> peutine, and applied in the usual man ner, is blacker, more glossy, and more dumb e than when mixed with any oth er liquid.
