TOPPING COTTON.

We copy the following from the North Carolina
Planter:
Mr. EDIToR:-There appears to be difference
as to the propriety of topping cotton. The very
best of farmers differ widely this point some
believing it is best to top it every year-irrespective
of the weather, of the size of the weed, whilst
others equally as good farmers object to topping
at all. 1t is not surprising that farmers differ
concerning this matter, great deal in my opinion
depends upon circumstances which we have
no control. will give the readers of the Planter
my theory, or views on this subject-and Of course
If my cotton is pretty we'll grown, and the weather
is somewhat dry, commence topping about the
middle of August-Which | think is early enough
for this latitude, Mecklenburg Co, N. c., and
continue, the weather continuing favorable, until
/ finish. My theory is, that if the weather is wet
and the cotton is growing rapidly that succors will
be thrown up when the top is taken of, and the
cotton is thereby injured than if the top
suffered to remain; if however the weather is dry,
topping will check the growth of the weed and
instead of very tall cotton your cotton will spread
and the branches will be better loaded with bolls,
and they will be larger, and the cotton will mature
sooner, very important matter here where the
is too short for cotton to make full crop;
l believe it will commence opening sooner, which
will expedite the picking of it out, another very
important matter. | admit, however, that where
the autumn is late and open, and there is not
killing frost until the latter part of October, that
more cotton would have been made had the cotton
not been topped. But in my opinion this happens
but seldom, and may be justly regarded 'as the
exception and not the rule" X

SUGAR CANE FOR CATTLE.-Much has been
said, for and against Sugar Cane food for stock,
some contending that it is injurious, causing death
in many instances, while others say the reverse
Last week we published letter from Walter +.
Leake, Esqr., of Rockingham, addressed to Judge
Saunders, Of Raleigh supporting the theory which
Mr. Leake has reduced to practice and speaks from
experience, that sugar cane can be fed to stock
and horses with impunity and with great benefit.
But, we have just learned of an instance, in this
county, where several cattle have died from eating
cane Capt Thos. L. Tucker reports to us, that
he lost two fine beeves last week, having died, as
he believes, of eating the cane. A small quantity
OF suckers or sprout cane quite tender and not cal
cuated to cut through the coatings of the stomach
as it is said the matured cane will do gathered
by servant and given to five six head of cattle
LIN few hours the cattle were all taken with con-
vulsiOns and swelling of the body to most unnat-
ural degree, and soon afterward two of them died
and the lives of the others were only saved by
prompt treatment.
We know Capt. Tucker we'll, and what he has
stated can be relied upon.-StatesUMe Express.

COOP REToRT-A lady of our acquaintance
says the Richmond News, was passing up one of
our principa thoroughfares, few days since when
she was met by young man full of bad whiskey,
who was laborng very strcnuously to preserve his
equanimity, and prevent the discovery of his
condition.-1n endeavoring to avoid collision
with the lady in question, he lost his balance and
stepped on the skirt of her dress, when he turned
towards her and remarked, by way ofapoogy,
"Hoops take up too much room" The lady looked
at him and very quietly retorted. "Not so much
as whiskey, SIR" and passed on.
