WORTHY OF TT ENTIoN-in recent
article on poultry we spoke of The great
value Of hen manure We remarked if we
recollect rightly, that the mos, liberal es,
mate likely to he formed of it W. uId fti
many times short of the actual value. pro-
vidpd sufficient pains were taken TO save
and COMPOST il. And this opinion was
the result of our own experiments and
careful observations.
Mr.. P. Pratt Of re,p River, Conn.,.
writing to the Country Gentleman says:
"a neighbor manured in the hill fur
acres of corn With h droppinss of thirty
hens ofone wear and had an excellent crop.
Think of that farmers! This amount OF
manure, from the poultry alone, is wasted
annually BY many Of you. Four acres OF
corn-and an excellent crop-lost every
year, from the want Of little attention.
Take The profits of that quantity "f corn,
f'r the last twenty years. and the profits
of the increase of the subs quent crops,
resulting from the application Of the hen
manure. and from the manure made of ths
corn and corn fodder, if fed out on the
farm-that money, at compound nteres,
commencing twenty years ago, would buy
many of your farms, buildings, and all, ,e
day.
We know that some people hold these
seeming y smrll matters in contempt: bn
no farmer who is wise, after having hi
attention once called to tkeir importance
will neglect them any longer.

THE POTAToE ROT.

Our agricultural exchanges abound in
articles on the cultivation Of po,sioes, and
the preventsiion Of the roi. But hese
recommendations are no sounder Than the
potstoes themselves All that we per-
ceiye Of positive character on the sub
iecL consists in the refuiation, by the
production OF some Stubborn facts of every
theory Of the disease, and ofeyery remedy
yet proposed. One writer says that he
treated a field in a certain manner with
specific remedies, of the efficacy of which
he would nnve been fully convinred-ss
nothing Of The rot appeared but for the
fact that another field, cultivated entirely
differently, turned out just as sound and
free from disease.
The truth is tina, the whole thing is
mvs,ery-noihing is really known for a
certainly abou, the disease, except its
existence aud it's destrucliveness--no
whatever of its causes or remedies.
People will continue to experiment,
and the true cause oil the rn, NAV some
time be discovered, Meanwhile, insie I'd
oflead.ng our renders to depend uron
prevsnuves which are liable TO prove
completely inefficscious, we would rather
advise them 10 substitute, as far as practi-
cable other vegetables for the uncertain
po:atne For tie purpose of feeding TO
animals, this will be found altogether
expedien,. Except for the table and mark
ct, crops that will not rot are far more
profitable.

The following little fact may induce
farmers to raise honey Trey thus garu

1t is stated that bees greatly IMPROVE the

which several hives are kept. always pro

are none. In the provinces IN the Ri M

COTTON SEED.

1t can be no longer questioned that the
cotton seed, in many parts of our coun-
try Is fast degenerating, and we hear fire.
pucnt complaints from the planters on
this subject.
The plants in many places, are not so
vigorous in growth nor in quantity and
quality produced as formerly. We are
assured that the staple of the cotton is
being seriously affected by this dcgenera-
ton Of the cotton seed. Various reasons
are assigned. One thinks il is owing to
the condition Of the soil or the weather;
another thinks it is owing to the defective
manner of culture; Il must change my
seed" says third and thus variety Of
conjectdres are started. The reason Of
this degeneration is made to appear when
we consider that, year after year our far
mers, pitch their crops with seed taken
promiscuously from the field. In the very
nature Of things it must dwindle anu be-
come dwartish in the course of time and
notwithstanding it depreciates under their
eyes, they still pursue the insane policy.
Upon the same principle your stock Of
hpIses, cattle or hogs would degenerate and
run out. We do not wonder, therefore,
that your cotton is seriously affected-you
do nothing to improve ito give vigCI
OF growth or constitution.
There is no need to change your seed
al! that you have to do is to pass through
your field and select your seed nom those
plants that exhibit most vigor Of growth
and produce the greatest number Of bolIs.
Plant those by themselves, and then call
again as before or else select few acres
and plant il exclusively with the best seed.
elected as above, and in one or two years.
yon will have superior seed. if not better
than can be obtained any where else. II
you are too negligent or lazy to make the
necessary improvements, no complaints
should fall from your lips.
The famous seeds about which so much
is said and for which such high prices are
paid, have been brought up to this high
state Of culture by the means stated above
and by proper crossing kept up for a Sc
ries Of gears.
Try the plan ind Gated, and you will
lind n vast improvement in the quality
and quantity of your cotton.--Southern
Organ.
Tour Southern cotton planters, we be-
lieye, would find it to their advantage to
use seed grown in distant localities, such
as Georgia seed exchanged for Mississippi
seed and vice versa. In the cultivation
Of many other plants this has been found
TO work adyantagiously, increasing 10th
the yield and quality of the crop iScien-
tifc 1Dsesicdn.

THE LANCASTER LEDGER.

while 1t developes or strengthens within
us the attachment, perhaps long smoth-
cred or overlaid, for that dear hut, our
nome And so |, in the sober afternoon
of life, when its sun, il not high, is still
warm, have bought me a few acres Of
land in the broad, still country, and bear
ing thither my household treasures, have
resolved to seal from the city's labors and
anxieties a; least one day in each week,
wherein to revive, as farmer, the mem
ories Of my childhood's humble home.
"And already l realize that the ex-
pertinent cannot cost SO much as it is
worth. Already find in that days quiet
an aniidote and soace for the feverish,
fostering cares of the weeks which envi-
ron it. Already my brook murmers
soothing, even song to ny burning, throb-
bing brain and my trees, gently stirred
by the fresh breeze whisper to my spirit
something of their own quiet strength and
patient trust in God. And thus do /
family realize, but for brief and fitting
day, the serene joy which shall irradiatc
the farmers vocation, when fuller and
truer education shall have refined and
chastened his animal cravings, and when
science shall have endowed him with her
treasures, redeeming labor from drudgery
while quadrupling its efficiency, and
crownng with beauty and plenty our
bounteous, beneficent earth"
