TO COTTON PLANTERS.

HAVE bought the patent of Messrs w. F. /
Il e. J. Provost's Iron Screw and LIE.
YER Press, for the Parishes of East and West
Feliciana and Pointe Coupee. This press is now
ahead of all others in use, for durability, econo-
my strength &c; and it is the same that took the
premium at the Mississippi State Fair in 1853
The sale OF the patent of this celebrated Press
tor the different counties in the Southern States
has been unprecedented; and it is generally pre-
dlcted that in a few years, they will supercedc
all other cotton Presses known.
4 word as to the cost of these presses: It has
been proven beyond the least possibility of a
doubt that there has never been a Press invented
that can begin to compare with this one for cheap
ness. Therefore. if there is anything in economy.
they must certainly find great favor with the cot
eon planting portion OF our community. They
seldom get out OF repair are easily fixed and
taking all things into consideration. no Press
has ever been thought of by any mechanic. that
IL destiaed to prove of so great a benefit to the
cotton planter, as sProyost's Iron Screw and I,e
YER Press"
In the language Of the Messrs Provost, ave
claim for this Press many advantages over all
the Presses in use. The Press is well adapted to
any style of Gin House, as it can be worked in
or out oithe lint room taking up but little space
requires but little timber and must be durable.
s's aii OF Its working parts are of iron. of great
power, as it ltcombines both the lever and the
screw; and 50 simple that the negroes can work
~ % with dispatch. We can press any weight of
oaies required with ease.'
as y y more easy to convince persons of the
superiority Of this press by showing it in full

For Cotton Bales.

PT1ce, E cents per pound-25 per cent less
than Rope.
ANY one considering the advantages of Iron
over Rope as a material for binding cotton bales
will be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since Lii its security against fire thereis
an overwhelming reason for its adoption
The presses in the Seaport Cities have been
the main cause Of its not being generally adopt
ed; but. now that objection la removed gencl.
ally, and the Orleans Press, the largest in N. T..
give it the preference over rope. The Fasslnanl
Iron Hoop and Tie is the improvement of one
| OF the proprietors. and is adopted from the fact
that it is found. after long experiment, to COM
bine the greatest merits in simplicity and facility
OF application OF any one yet made. 1t is SC
prepared as to require no change for recon-
pressing. Thus obviating the only remaining
difficulty at the sea board cities.
The hoops are sent Of any length from eight
to ten feet, and a full guarantee given that
neither the Ties nor Hoops shall break. And
further, that all cotton bound in them shall be
received on the same terms at the Orleans Press
as rope bound cotton. The weight per bale is
about the same as rope, not one pound more OF
less.
To- show the opinion Ship Masters have of it.
we give the following, among numerous com.
mendations we have:
The undersi gncd masters Of vessels having
had cotton compressed with Fassmaan's S new Iron
Hoops and Ties, hereby recommend the same
The bales being well compressed, and the but
tons or hoops never breaking when thrown
down in the ships hold: or when slowed.

A TIGER KILLED BY A L1oN.-A rather
singular episode took place during the
storm in the menagcrie of NJ. Hcbcrt,
the naturalist on the north jetty, at
Hayre. A fine royal tiger, which had
been for some days in one of the cages,
had conceived a strong affection for d
magnificent lion, and the two animals
lived together on the most friendly
terms. On the night in question, whether
the animals became alarmed by the vio-
lence of the wind, or whether some cause
Of quarrel had arisen between them, is
not known; but fight took place, as
when NJ Hebert entered tue place in the
morning, he found the tiger stranglcd,

10 PREVENT SHIPPERS IN HAMs.-In @
communication to the Cotton Planter,
Mr.. Melville says: There is, according
to my experience, nothing easier than
to avoid the skipper and all worms and
bugs that usually infest and often de-
stroy SO much bacon. It is simply to
Keep your smoke-house dark, and the
moth that deposits the egg will never
enter it. For the past twenty-five years
| have attended to this, and never have
had my bacon troubled with any insect.
have now hanging in my smoke-housc
hams one, two and three years old, and
the oldest are as free from insects as
when first hung up. am not aware of
other causes for the exemption Of my
bacon from insects, but simply from the
fact that my smoke-house is always kept
dark. Before adopting this plan, l had
tried many experiments, but always
without success or with injury to the
flavor Of my bacon Ismoke with green
hickory; this is important, as the flavor
of bacon is often utterly destroyed by
smoking it with improper wood.
