PARISH WEST FEncMNA, La, Nov.
Q5th, 1889.

Mn. GiBsoN:-Sir, believing that
| YOU feel an interest in whatever may
tend to promote the interest of the
Planters, I have concluded to drop you
a line containing some facts that may
be useful to many Of thcm.
Since Ihave been in the interior ST.
|perintending the introduction of my
cotton machinery, ! have ascertaincd
that common size steam engine, can
be run in the ginning Of cotton, with
greater economy and safety, by using
cotton seed as fuel, than by any other
means.
DR.. II. Perkins Of this parish, who
is using steam engine of 8 or 10
horse power, aud runs 2 gins of 60 saws
each, has. by consuming the seed of 9
bales Of cotton, ginned as high as Is
bales of cotton per day. firmly be-
ieve that the seed of 100 bales used as
fuel, will gin crop Of from A TO 500 bis
cotton. And another advantage arts
ing from the use ofcotton seed as fuel.
is the circumstance of their producing
no sparks while burning, and are con-
sequently less dangerous than wood
fuel.
To use them to advantage, requires
pretty close 6re-grates' to keep them
from falling through. A checked or
crossed fire CRATE work, will be found
best to burn them on.
The only objection to using the seed
at all, as fuel, grows out of their value
as manure for corn, but this does not
apply to river bottoms and fresh lands;
and where large crops are made on
high lands much exhausted, enough Of
seed will be left to plant and manure,
after gaining the crop.
1t is my opinion that every planter
who makes over 200 bales of cotton,
would find il economical, to gin his
cotton with steam power. One planter
in this parish, who runs his gins with a
small engine ofsix or seven horse pow
er, informed me that he saves in gin
ming one crop 1900 bushels of corn in
horse feed. and that his horses are in
better condition 10 commence his crop
with in the spring, than if they worked
in bis gin.
| know another planter on the Mis-
sissippi river, above Natchez, who has
to employ twelve horses to run two six
ty saw gins, six horses work half the |
day, and are then relieved by the other
six, and they work till nine or ten at
night: and after all, only gin six bales
per day. Thus, he has 10 keep and
feed twelve horses TO gin six bales OF
cotton a day. The overscer told me,
that fit was not for working the her.
SEES in the gin they would need no feed
ing, as the other horses that ran out in
the fields arrange needed none. Be-
sides bis horses which run the Gin.

requested to look at.her tongue. She
opened her mouth, and put out the
end Of her tongue. The doctor said
put it out farther, madame; and was
under the necessity ofrepeating it sew

her tongue a tr!hing distance each time.
AT length the doctor remarked; put it

"The way is long" the father saiI,
While through the western wild lie sped,
With eager searching eye;
"Chccr yc, my babes," the mother clicd,
AMI drew them closer to her side,
As iiowh'd the evening SKY.
Just then, within The thicker rude.
A log-rearcd cabih's roof they yiew'd,
Ann it's low Shelter hest;
On the rough floor their simple bed
In haste and WEAKNESS they spread,
And laid them down to rest.
sOn leathcrs hinge the doors were hing,
Unlocked with glass the Windows swung,
The sniokc-wreath slaii'd the wall;
And here thew found their orlv home,
Who mce had ruled the spacious dune,
And parcd the pictured hall.
I'M hearts with pure affections warm,
lnmnfrnarmg nj the adverse storm,
Did in than cell abide;
Aud there the wife her husband cheercd,
Aud there her little ones she reared,
And there, in hope, she died.
Still, the Tone man his toll pursued,
While meath his roof so low and rude,
A gentle daughter rose,
Aspeeri,ig through some riltcd rock,
And blooming on Il broken stock,
The bfushing sweet-briar grows.
With tifoless hand the hoard she spread,
The Holy Book ut evening read,
And when with serious air
lie saw her bend so sweetly mill,
10 full TO sleep the moaning child,
lie blessed her in his prayer.
Bnt stern disease his FORSTER siaid,
And down the woodman's axe he laid,
The fcver-name was high;
lo more the forest feared his stroke,
lie ftlI, as falls the rugged oak
Beneath the whirlwind's eve.
Ills youngest girl, his fondest pride,
Ills baby, when the mother del,
How desolaie she stands
While gazing on his dealh-strucl eye,
Ills kneelng Sons with anguish cry,
And clasp His clenrhing hands.
WHO hastes His ihrobbins hcad 10 hold!
Who bows to chafc his TEMPLES cold?
In beauty's opening primc!--
That blessed daughter, meek Of heart,
Who, for his sake, mstron's part
Had borne before her time.
That gasp, that grdan--'tis DER,
The manly breast must heave no more,
The heart no longer pine. '
