THE PLANTATION.

Cotton.-Where this crop is backward !,
keep your plows, cultivators and sweeps
going briskly, to destroy the weeds, en-
courage late growth, and prevent the
falling of the forms. Towards the latter
part ofthe month, begin your preparations
for picking, and as soon rs the boIls begin
to open freely, set the hands at work gath
erng. Have all seed cotton hauled in
wagons from distant fields to the Clubhouse g
and do not require your negroes to waste
their time and strength in carrying heavy
baskets. If you wish to weigh the pick
ing OF each hand, it can be done by the
overseer before it is put into the wagons,
or each "hand" can mark his baskets and
have it weighed at noon and night, at
the gin house.
Corn.-All early planted Corn is al
ready laid by, in most sections but very
late Ii elds may yet receive another careful
working, and be finished with the surface
open, mellow and free from weeds.
Curing up Corn Stalks for Fodder.-
In our last number, (page 22o) we fur
nished some objections to the very COM
mon practice ofpulting fodder, and advis-
ed the substitution of drilled corn, which
we have long found to be an excellent and
economical article both for "soiing,' FER
feeding green,) and winter hay. 1t is so
hard to break up old habits, however, that
we scarcely expect many of our readers to
test this m1tter fairly; and last, with all
their fodder pulling, many may fall short
OF "rougbness" before next season, we will
offer another hint for their consideration.
1t is, to cut up their corn stalks at the
ground, rs soon as the ears begin to glaze
or gea hard; set up in shocks every 90 or
80 hills thus cut, and when the whole
isperfectly dry, haul under cover, or care.
fully stack up; strip of the ears at your
leisure, and save all the stalks, blades and
shucks for the winter feeding of stock.
This hint is especially intended for small
planters--those who aim only to raise
sufficient corn for their own use, ard who
desire to make the most of il and 10 save
all that is worth saving. Our objections
against fodder pulling, Gas before stated
are that It Is q slow and Iaborious process,
and That the yield and weight Of the grain
Is lessened, by prematurely depriying the
Splant OF Its leaves. II fodder is pulled
hefore the grain becomes glazed, YOU Ger.

BIRD SONGS.
DT MISS LOUISA l.. VICKRoY.


Waken, Laura, till s tell you
What heard the song-birtls say,
While listened to their singing,
Since the breaking of the day.
For wakcned, while twas carly,
From strangely pleasant dream,
Of the Sweetest voices singing
On the very sweetest theme:
Woke to hear the swallows twittcr,
And anon the Sparrow's cry,
Then the blue-bird's thrilling carol,
And the roi rs sweet reply
And the thrushes sang most swcetly,
And were answered back again,
BY the oriolc and black-bird,
In a glad, rejoicing strain.
From the naples in the meadow,
From the beech trees, by the spring,
Loud they sang, till with their music,
All the air seemed quivcring.
praise our God" began the swallow,
THAT another spring is here"
And ''Oh, praise him." said the sparrow,
'For this morning, bright and clear"
"And We thank him." trilled lhe thrushcs
'For these wings to sweep the air.
For his kindnes and his goodness
To his creatures everywhere"
"And for plenty" pipcd the black bird,
"On earth's breast that shall be borne
For heard the farmers saying,
They would soon be planting corn"
"-And the wheat fields" chimed the oriolc
"Are beautifully green
And the blossoms, in the orchard,
Are the sweetest ever seem
Then their voices all together,
In chorus wild and high,
Sang the beauty of the flowers,
And the glory of the sky:
Sang the golden cleaning sunshine,
And the crystal cleaning dew,
The woodland, deep and shady,
And the waters, darkly blue.
And l wondered, while listened,
How it was, that We from sleep
Could awaken, and be thankless,
That the Fathers eye should keep
Watch above our dreaming pillows,
In the nighttime, deep and still,
And his angels keep anear us,
Shielding us from every i'll.
Then thought I'd come and wake you,
Just to tell you what the birds
Had been saying, though tits colder
When translated into words
Than, when volumes of glad music,
Seemed to pour from every bough,-
But you're wide awake, sweet Laura,
Listen, don't you hear them nowe
Yes, you hear them, with such rapture,
That the tears begin to fall,
Though you smile-ah, gentle Laura,
You're the sweetest bird of all!
