SUBSTITUTE ron LEATHER.-There has been
much talk about leather and the want thereof
for harness uses for the Government. A sub
stitute has been found, 50 far as trases and
chains are needed. Simple oak or hickory
splits can be used for heavy or light loads.
We are assured that every part Of harness,
even 10 bride and collar. can be made from
hickory or oak splits. Il has been proven
that wood hoops can be successfully used in
baling cotton, in place Of hempen rope. In
fact, AZ entire wagon harness, which costs
in leather, at this time, from forty to fifty
dollars or more. can be furnished on almost
any farm for few dimes.

THE COMING CROPS.

We commend the following sensible arti-
Gle, from the Shreveport Gazette, to the
careful consideration Of those to whom it is
addressed. The question suggested cannot
be too deeply weighed, and those who res
pond unfavorably will not only be blind to
their own interests, pecuniarily speaking,
but will act injudIciously and unpatrotical-
ly. Profit and patriotism alike dictate that
little cotton should be planted. and that the
cereal crops should receive general attention.
The Gazette says:
II is difficult TO change the routine Of cul-
ture on plantation, and it is natural to sup
pose that every planter knows his own busi-
ness best. The suggestions OF editors are
generally treated with indifference, and their
beautiful theories only amuse the practical
planter Being aware that we cannot change
the minds or alter the plans Of ouT planting
readers. we will state few facts for their
consideration:
4 large cotton crop is already made, and
il cannot be snld. Another crop would glut
the markets nf the world for several years
and reduce the price almost one-half. The
border slave States are laid waste and ocCu-
pied by tie enemy. Our armies cannot OBJ
lain supplies from that source. The cotton
States, with Nirginia, must feed our armie,
this year, and perhaps next year. Thous-
ands OF thousands 1T laboring men will en-
list this spring. leaving their little iarins de-
serted and their families 8ependant upon tie
charities 81 their wealthy nrighbnrs.
10 repsl the invader We must have Al
least 100000 men, including the militia.
To feed AID elolhe such an army Nilliax the
capacity Of every acre e land aud bring in
10 active use every spindle, spinning-wheel
ard loom in the Coni,dtracy.
