purpose as we'll us any way to insert a small
paper heretofore published by the writer
on this subject:
al have been frequently asked in rcla-
ton to the Mastodon cotton, "WlU IL degeu-
crate ?" This is considered an important
question by many persons and not few
should think, consider that the future sue
cess this cotton depends mainly upon the
point. 1t is strange that Il great error in
regard to the matter has become so popular
! A farmer i'll the South in my opinion, ought
to know better than to ask such questions.
1t is precisely rs philosophical as it would

with plenty of hay oats, and good care,
should say he would not. But in the alb
sencc Of these | think that there would be
! much danger that he would. The cotton
seed notion of ,,running out" is entitled to
! the same kind of AN answer, ond upon the
same philosophical reasons. We frequent
| ly hear farmer say, "My cotton seed has
run out" Yes sir, aud il YOU have been as
careless in relation to your pasture fence,
. your cattle and sheep have run out also
pNL| GNi C1ORSES BEING TEASED BY
FL1Es.-'Takc two or three sma! handfulls
OF walnut leves, upon which pour two or
three quarts cf cold water let it infi,sc one
night, and pour the whole, next morning,
into a kettle, and let it boil for quarter OF
! an hour when cold, it will be fit for use
No more is required than to mosten sponge
| and, before the horse goes out Of the stable,
let those parts which are most irritable be-
smeared over with the liquor, viz, between
and upon the ears, the neck, the flank, &c.
Not only y tho lady or gcn,laman who rides
out for pleasure, will derive Il benefit from
this preparation. but the coachman, the wa.
goner and all others who use horses during
the hot months.
APPEARANCE OF THE PoTAToE DISEASE
IN IRELANp.-We copy the following notice
from the letter Of the Dublin correspondent
Of the Times
"Ihe weather continues more propitous,
and the accounts oi'the grain crops from all
quarters are OF a highly cheering nature
There is, however, one drawback to this
gratifying intelligence, viz, that the fata!
potatoe pcstilcncc has indubitalIv shown it.
self in various parts of the Queens country,
and in the vicinity Of the town of Carlow.
The stalk is described as looking healthy
presenting no external appearances of dis
case, but on close examination of the root
near the tuber, the disease was quite visible,
evidently progressing upward, and IN
state of transition from a sickly state to
decomposition; and what is more extraordi-
nary the seed was in some cases sound, and
the stalk green and healthy. This is bad
augury but it is we'll to be prepared for
failure thus early, that hopes may not be
indulged in which III all human probability
will not be realised"
We regret to say that letters received by
us this morning from Belfast and Waterford
contain rumors Of the same effect but from
other paris vi inc country the accounts are
very satisfactory. 1t affords, however, some
consolation, even if we are compelled to an
ticipalc the failure of this crop, that not a.
..:a:o oiic fourth of the usual crop has been
planted and that the breadth Of land sown
with wheat, oats and other cereals is much
greater than that Of last year.
