last ploughing. The hoes should also
pass over the c,op killing such grass and

is difficult to say how often the crop
should be ploughed, as that will depend
good deal upon the seasons. My rule
is to keep the earth we'll stirred up until
the branches interlock, or the cotton com.
mences to open. The two first plowings
should be deep and close, the subsequent
one shallow. Iuse tho sweep, bow, twis-
ter, side plough, scraper and the old fash
ioned shovel: in my crop. The selection
of seed is also matter of great importance.
But must close, for fear tire you.

COTTON.

MEssRs. EDIroRs In accordance with
my promise in my article on guano, |
propose giving you my views on the cul-
ture of cotton.
The cotton plant is not easily suited in
soil and climate, and it seldom happens
that they are so com bined as to perfect
the plant.
The best cotton lands are of deep,
rich, soft mould, medium between the
spongy and sandy. The important part
OF the cultivation, consists in a judicious
preparation Of the soil for planting. All
cotton land should be broken up deep and
close, at the latest by January; it would
be better to have it done in November or
December, but picking out generally pre-
vents it. Plough deep, the deeper the
better; use the subsoil as much as posi-
bic; even if your land has been in cotton
the year previous, break it up deep, at
least one foot.
About the 25th of March, prepare for
planting. | lay off my rows from SO to
SO inches wide. Cotton should be so
planted, that when it arrives at maturity,
the branches will slightly interIock on
every side. L lay off these rows as
deep as can with a shovel or scooter

as possible; then break out the middles.
IL the land is low, draw up the bed

uniform size and depth. A careful hand

POETRY.
THE THREE PREACHERS.
by CHARLES MACKEY.

There are three preachers ever preaching,
Filled with eloqnence and power.
One Is old with locks of white,
skinny as an anchorite;
And he breaches every hour
With a shrill and fanatic voice,
And bigot's fiery scom;
BACKWARD! ye presumptuous nations;
Man to misery is born!
Born to drudge, and sweat, and suffer
Born to labor and to pray;
BACHwARD! ye presumptuous nations,
Back be humble and obcy!"
The second is milder preacher;
Soft he talks, rs if he sung,
Sleek and slothful il his look,
And his words, as from book,
Issue glibly from his tongue,
With an air of self-content,
High he lifts his fair white hands:
STAND YE STILL! ye restless nations;
And be happy all ye lands!
Fate is law, and law is perfect.
fye meddle, We will mar;
Change is rash and ever was so,
We are happier as we are.
Mighter Is the younger preacher;
Genius flashes from his ewes;
And the crowds who hear his voice,
ave him, while their hearts rejoice,
Throbbing bosoms for replies
wed they listen, yet elatcd,
While his stirring accents fall:
Forward We deluded nations,
Progress is the rule of all;
Man was made for healthful effort:
Tyranny has crushed him long;
He shall march from good to better,
And do battle with the wrong.
Standing still is childish folly.
Going backward is a crime;
None should patiently endure
Any i'll that he can cure;
ONWARD keep the march of Time
Onward while wrong remains
To be conquered by the right;
While oppression lifts finger
To afiront us by his might;
w hile an error clouds the reason
Ola universal heart,
Or slave awaits his freedom,
Action is the wise mans part
10! the world is rich in blessings
Earth and Ocean, Flame and Wind,
Have unnumbered secrets still.
To be rausack'd when you will
For the service Of mankind.
Science is child as yet,
And her power and scope shall grow,
And her triumphs in the future
Shall diminish toll and WOO
Shall extend the bounds of pleasure,
With an ever widening ken,
And of wooda and wilderness,
Make the homes of happy men.
ONWARD there are ills to conquer
Daily wickedness is wrought,
Tyranny is swolrn with Pride,
Bigotry is deified,
Error intertwined with Thought,
Vice and misery romp and crawl,
Root them out, their day has pass'd;
Goodness is alone immortal;
Evil was not made to last:
ONWARD and all earth shall aid us,
Ere our peaceful flag be furl'd,"
And the preaching of this preacher
Stirs the pulses of the world.
