economical distribution and application OF
labor; no more being applied TO any one
branch Of business than, with the aid OF the
improvements Of the day, can be employed
for the production of.prof,ablc results.
Thus it being found that labor can be
more prof'abIy cmplyed in the various bran,
ches of manufactures than in agricultural
pursuits, the North and East find it most
beneficial to apply a great amount of labor
to those branches, and to draw large portions
of their supplies of the nccessarles and com
forts of life from abroad At the same time
the great demand for labor thus created
gives TO it an increased value, and lays the
agrcuIural;st under the necessity of seeking
out and adopting every mprovcmentin in order
to produce the greatest crop with the small
lest possible expense. 1t will be hazardlng
nothing TO say, because the writer pledges
himself to prove in succeeding numbers, That
more labor is absolutely lost in the South
from the lack of its ludicious distribution
and economical application than is employed
in the production of all the cotton fabrics
manufactured in New Eng md. Gh"uld the
writer succeed and he has no doubt OF do
ing it, in his attcmp' to make proof OF the
foregoing statement, he Twill, OF course, be
able to show. At tho same time, that ii would
be greatly to the advantage of the people OF
the South to enter largely into the business
of cotton manufactures, and especially as
the raw material is grown in abundance on
the spot. True. it NAV be said that the busI-
ness has already been prosecuted IN The
South to some extent, but as a general thing
not will! greatly prnh'ab!c results. 10 this
fact rcpv: The want Of success, or the
reason why Southern manufactures are less
productive and less profitable than those OF
| the North. is because there is the same want
of skill. and The same want ct economy IN
the application of labor, as arc manifest too
generally in the business of agriculture.
With good management, under the guidance
of scientific knowledge, there can be no
doubt that Cotton can be manufactured at
the South with more profit than many 9th
or portion Of the Union. &. l.. ).
VEyrlLATIaS. The French Chamber OF
Peers is so arranged as to admit twelve
cube feet per minute, or about seven nun
drcd cubic feet an hour for each individual.
"By experiments made in the EnglIsh House
of Comr,nns. every dav of the session for
two wears. il was found that the air was de-
Perforated wien the supply was less than ten
cubic feet per minute for each person, and
in sulrv weather from twenty to slxty>cnbIc
feet were required To sustain refreshing
and agreeable atmosphere, and for three
successive weeks each member was supplied
with s>tv feet per uinutc.'
Dr. GriSrom. IN lbs report on the vcnIIa-
,nn of the New York public school house:
gives ten C bic frc, per minute as necessary
Tor each pnp;! to preserve a hclthy state;
and is aI'cgrd by DR.. Reid, o! Edinburgh.
in his valuable work on Ventilation. that or
dnary ten cubic feet Of fresh air per MIN
u,e are required by each individual. For cx-
ample. in a church 80 feet long, SO feet wide,
and 40 feet high, containing therefore lGO.-
O0O cubic feet, there may be 1000 persons;
for their srppiv there would be required
change every sixteen min Itcs. II The ser
vices be two hours long, total change
should take place about eight times. That
! is. there should be a constant cgreSs of The
vitial,d air. and an ingress of 10000 cubic
| feet of fresh air per minute, TO have it pure
at respiration. Let us bear in mind what
has already been stated, "that the lungs al
each respiration arc cxpeIlmg fluid, a large
per ccn,nm of which is deadly poison is con-
! tinualv cxhang from tn VIII lie snrtacc OF
tic body, and that these organs, too, arc
throwing off twenty grains per minute OF
aqueous vapor, anI increasing with tic tenn
peraurr." Let us remember, also. that a
single person makes about twenty re$plra-
tions per minute. and consequently thou
sand persons. during service ol two hours,
would make 2,io0. 600 rcsplralIons. Now,
if we duly consider the great amount OF I'M
purity which is here evolved by these thou
sand human laboratories, it WI ! require no
great stretch of the Imagination to conceive
the necessity of dcvsing some mode for lis
removal, and that large volume of fresh
air is comfy needed to meet all tho wants OF
the system. But what must the condition of
the air in many Of our ovcr.hcatcd churches,
where little or no change has taken place
during the two or three services; and IN
some churches il will be found that the air
is not entirely changed from one Sabbath t"
another during the winter months.
