From ihe Southern AgrIculIurs. PREPARATION OF COTTON SEED FOR PLANTING.

PREPARATION OF COTTON SEED
 FOR PLANTING.
 Mn. EDIToR:-E Every cotton planter is aware, that in planting his seed, many of a defective kind a.e put into the ground.-Thcse have enough ofvitality iD them to sprout but the plants from them are always defective, and never mature their fruit as well as plants from healthy seed.
 To secure healthy seed many planters are at the trouble of se- lecting their seed one by one, which, though a very good plan, is too tedious for general practice. Their plan is to pick out from among their seed, such as appear full and plump-but this plan sometimes fails, as Il is not every seed that appears best that is actually So. N ith them as with men, appearances de- ccivc. 4 more simple, more eX- peditio IS, and surcr plan for sc- lecting good seed, is to procure a urge tub, fill this with salt water (fresh will do,) about half full; into this drop holding it as high as you can) one or two quarts of cotton seed at a time. All full anI perfect seeds will sink to the bottom of the tub, while the defective ones will float on the top of the water These should be skimned off with the hand. Continue to throw in the seed after above described, until you have collect ed as much seed as you want
 If you arc ready to plant, the seed mly be left in the tub of wa ter during the night; but if tic weather be warm, and the land dry, would not advise doing SC unless the water has been wei saltcd. The salt on the seed is great help, 1t will attract mois ture of earth around the seed an thus cause them to gerlni- nate much sooner. If any ono wishes to be convinced of this It him, in dry weather, sprinkle q little salt upon a piece o1 ground. and examine 1t rex, morning. While all the carll around will be apparently parch cd, the saItcd ground, from hay. ing attracted moisture during the falling of the night dews, wiI appear actually wet,

CULTURE OF CORN.

NlEssRs. EDIToRs.-Beieving in the policy of communicating through the public papers, the result ofexperinents in our sev- cral occupations that all may be proi,ed by the experience of e1ch, wish to communicate through your columns the result of an experiment which l made last year upon lot Of two acres of corn. The land was of uni form quality, being a light sandy loam, which had been in timothy meadow for many ye Is,
 The first half.acre I manured by putting a shovel full of sheep m ,nlrc in each hill-the second. by putting shovel full of chip manure in each hill-on the third, l used a shovel full of manure from the barn yard, or rather a mixture of fine manure and earth, obtained by plougling the yard afler remo' ing the long ma nur,-on the fourth 1 used the same quantity of ashes, being a mixture ofro,ted and fresh ashes.
 The corn was dropped care fully upon the manure, and thro'- out the whole lot, pumpkir seed were dropped with the corn. On the part manured from sheep yard. the corn did not make d much better appearance than usual, though the pumpkins grew well; and indeed, in pump kin crop, there was little differ ence; it was fine throughout. Be- tween the produce of the DOT tions on which chip-yard and barn yard manure had been used, there was no observable differ cnce, both was a good yield; but the yield on the part manured with ashes, was at least double. No accurate measurement was made but the relative quantities w ere readily ascertained.

every member in the community, and the condi-

used with niggard economy that is by no means
necessary; and the consequence may prove IN
furious to the public health, unless proper atten-
lion is paid to the matter. The dirt and filth de-
posted in the cutters in Greenwich, Chatham,
and IN many OF the principal thoroughfares Of the
