OF Cotton Conventions, Political Conren-

any kind, there certainly can be no hject-
ion 10 general Convention OF tins kind,
throughout our country. There is great
room for improvement i'll the manners oi
1he conductors ofthe Press. Some editors
do not hesitate 10 call their brethren, with
whom they have political difference, or
one of any kind, liars, fools, or scoundrels'
They apply to them. ANY vi'uperatIvc cpl
thet, which their fancy may suggest. Ii
is common charge for editors OF one party
to say, tina, those of the other party, are
bribed-bought up. This in bad taste al
least. Such sweeping charges should not
he made, unless they can he subs1anl'a'ed'
When the conductors oflhe Press descend
10 low, personal abuse, it is pretty sood
proof that their argument is exhausted
Ifrhev have no regard for their readers,
they should entertain sufficient seli're-
spec,. not 10 resor, to such srurrillty and
vile blacksuardism. A Florida editor
not long since, speaking oil the quarrels OF
editors, says, that they can much better
employ their time, in nqaarrellins with their
delinquent subscribers. We are CT bis
opinion. We recommend to The craft,
no, to spare those Of their patrons who, by
their conduct, show that they nerer ,afend
to pay their printers bills.

Hint in Transplanting.

Tho common error in transplanting trees
is not making the boles, or pits, for their re-
ception sufficiently broad and deep. The
roots require mellow soil to strike down
and horizontally in; and ifthe earth under
and arouud them is left undisurbed and
hard, they can not extend themselves 70,
food, or but very slowly; the plant conse.
quently grows but slowly,if it survives
The following experiment, made by NJ.
Chalermeau, illustrates the importance oi
this hint. The hole should no, be proper.

but to their extent as they may be and should

| A PINE LAND PLANTER, !
Cheraw gazette and Pee Dee farmer. [volume] (Cheraw S.C.) 1838-1839, 1839-07-26

in the latter part of the summer, the stalks
were nearly three feet high, and very well
formed. 1t was perhaps the fifth or sixth
year he had been plan,ingin that manner.
have never had an opportunity Of tes.
ting, myself the virtue Of this system. but
doubt not that it is very good one. 1t is
evident tha, there is much matter In the
roofs of the cotton stalks to produce ma.
nure-aud it may be that the soil of the
bed being unexposed to the sun, may inn
prove, and retain nuiriment much longer. /
have merely made this suggestion with the
hope that it may be improved, as there are
many farmers who plant very poor and old
lands in cotton, without manure, and 1iaI
of It can be of no injury. The labor is
nothing more, and il any thing less, as it
saves at least halfthe p!oughing, necessary
before planting. 1t may be proper to add,
tha, the greatest and may say the only 10.
convenience attending the cul ivation Of a
crop in this manner, is the thinning oft out
the stems of the old stalks being in the
way of the hoe =; bu. with a little more than
common care, thic may be obviated.
Twill state as corroborating fact, in sup.
port of this system, and an experiment
which suggested itself to ME, after hearing
what have stated. l planted in corn, an
old field, which had lain out many years.
1t produced but very ordinary crop.
though we'll tended, and experiencing good
seasons. The following year, when ready
10 plant the same field, ! run furrow
through the same hills, without even il ting.
and dropped the corn in the old hills. lga.
thered that year upwards of one third more
from the same field. The field was plan.
ted four feet square, one stalk in each hill.

Portable Manures,

This is q term given in England to what
We call contracted manures, that is, bone
dust, horn shavings, and poudrette, urette,
&c. They are probably there called poraa.
bic, for the reason, that they may be tran.
spor,ed distance of one. tenth on l.2Olh
of the expense that their equivalent Of sta,
bic manure could bs transported. Hence
they are in great demand, in Great.Bri.
tain and the quantity used may be judged
of from the fact. that that country ia nov
paying annually, E2OO.0U0 TO foreign coun,
tries, equal to $sss, 900 for bonesto fsrtiliza
her lands while the high price Of the az
tcs has led to the most careful collection Of
them in every part of the United Kingdom,
In 1927, Mr.. Huskinson gave it as his op.
inion, in the House Of Commons, thu. the
use of bone dust, in British husbandry, oc.
casioned an additional produce of 100000
quarters Of corn, -four millions Of bushels,)
and the writer in the Irish Farmers's Mag.
azine, who states the facts we are narrating,
adds, it is not too much to suppose, that
the quantity has since been increased four
fold that is, that the use Of bone dust in
British husbandry is now annually adding
sixteen millions Of bushels Of grain 10 her
agricultural products |! What a lesson this
for our farmers, who are exhausing the
patrimony which Providence gave for CONF
ing generations!
{" The most active ingredients in bone
dus,," ,"says the writer to whom we refer.
" are phosphoric acid and ammonia, com.
bined with lime and carbon and it. isto tho
action of these upon each other, and theius
Auences of the changes of the atmosphere,
and Of sun shine and rain, In producing and
