Commissioner Of Statistics, for 1851, we de.
rive the following facts and figures Of gen
eral interest:
MALES CAPABLE OF BEARING ARMS.
The proportion of males in Ohio over lS
years Of age, is 40 per cent. The whole
number Of males in the State is l,l69,799.
The number of females over ls years Of
age, 573,202. Tho whole number of males
capable Of bearing arms, according to es-
tablished rules, is 523,666. Tho proper
ton of those which may be kept in military
service without seriously imparing the in
dustry Of tho State, is the important ques-
tion in raising troops for the war. Until
there is such reduction of labor as will re-
duce the amount of agricultural and man
ufacturing products, the draft on the male
population does not seriously injure the
property Of the State. In Europe, about
one fiftieth part of the whole people arc in
the regular armies 10 time Of peace, and it
is a continual draft on the industry of the
State. That proportion may be maintained
in military service for war of two or three
years, without materially reducing Industry,
but when it becomes continuous it is exhaus-
tive. This would diminish crops and ex-
haust our surplus wealth. One-fifth of the
able bodied men Of Ohio (1l4,s00) could
be spared for a war of several years dura-
ton, without these evil consequences. In
period of two or three years we could
spare 10000 moro.
MARRIAGES IN 1891.
During 1861 there were 22,251 maria
ges in Ohio, which is in each los ofpop.
ulation, which is the highest ratio among
civilized nations. The number in 1859
was 42o greater. Tho Commissioner
thinks the war affects matrimony and vii
continue to do so until the return of peace

VIOLENT DEATHS.
The number of violent deaths returne
for 66 counties in 1861, were 62l, To-
more than were returned for 90 counties il
ls6O-up TO July 1st each year. Th
number Of homicides in 1861 was IL les
than in 1860; of suicides g more, and o
casualties "a more. It is remarked tha
suicide has been increasing Of late years
owing TO disturbing causes in the CONNER
cial world and the war.
Casualties-particularly serious railroad

caused chiefly by intemperauce.

American Presentees Out OF Favor at
the Tulleries.

At the European Courts no foreigner is
presentable unless he has been presented
Mt his own court. As all Americans havo
right to appear at Abraham's receptions,
they arc of course eligible to similar dis
tinction abroad. The matter has, however,
been overdone. Some Americans "scarcc-
ly presentabe in any society" according to
the Paris correspondent Of tho London
Post having been presented TO Napoleon
recently, when the New Years reception
came off and Mr.. Dayton had sent in list
of thirty persons, Thouvenel, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, addressed. him a note in
quiriDg the rank and position of the ap-
plicants. Mr. Dayton simply replied that
they were such as would be received BY
the President. Tho result Of she matter
was that no Americans at al were presented.

Cultivatton.-The 6rst operation,
called scraping, is usually done By
hand hoes /; going over the field and
thinning out the plants, removing the
poorest and weakest, and cutting out
the grass and weeds that have sprung
up along the row. This done, the
horse implement may be put in, and
in place Of the small, single mould
plows that are the ones used in all
southern fields, the improved two.
horse corn cultiVator can doubles be
used to great advantage. Frequent
workings during the season hasten the
growth & maturity of the plant. Clean
cultivation should be the invariable
rule; the earth should be thrown up
to the plants little at each working,
unless it is the last one. IF fayora-
bic season, from the middle to the last
of September, the bolls will begin to
open when the operation Of
Picking commences. This has yet
to be done by hand, as no machinery
has been adopted to lessen labor or
accomplish more than be done by tho
human hand. A bag is thrown over
the shoulder and the balls are rapidly
transferred to it. Full grown field
hands will sometimes pick from 200
to 300 pounds-perhaps averaging
$50 pounds per day, including children
employed. When picked in this way
it is called seed cotton, and contains,
imbedded in the lint, the seeds, which
form about two thirds of the weight
of the whole mass. This is then
transferred to the gin-hOuse, where
the separation takes place, by ma
chine.

ed in bales of about 400 pounds each,
in which shape it finds its way to the
eastern factories. fit be shipped to

Corn Bread.

Nh. EDITOR: In your last number
you gave US a great many recipes for
cooking corn meal, the recipes and the
remarks taken from the Agriculturist.-
Since then the editor Of that paper has
had sort of Corn Bread Fair, and
offered prizes for the best loayes Of corn
bread, one Of which took the premium Of
ten dollars; and now he gives US the
recipe for that same kind Of bread, which
all Of Us can try to make. Among ali
these remarks upon corn bread making,
there is one thing entirely forgoiten.--
Most of US have faint recollection Of The
moist, sweet loaves Of Rye and Indian
bread that a mother or grandmother. out
on the farm, used to bake, and we won
der that we cannot produce the same sort
dow days; while the true secret is, we
have not the oId-fashioned brick oven Of
those days. We all use stoves, and The
moisture of corn cannot be retained in
these iron ovens as it can in close brick
ovens; therefore, when we take out Of 8.
stove oven the Indian loaf, it is hard, dry.
and very impalatable, especially if we
leave it in as long as grandmother used
to. But as we are not willing to roass
our faces over Fireplace, and do our
baking in bake-kettles and brick-ovens,

perior, we are driven so he necessity Of

COTTON Culture in Illinois.


The fact Of our having both soil
and climate in Southern Illinois ad-
apted to the growing of cotton, being
fully established, it now remains for
those who intend to experiment with
it the present year, to do so under
such circumstances as viii be the most
likely to prove successful. It will
hardly be expected that ali who take
hold of it will be equally successful
any more than in any other farm crops;
but of what can be learned from the
experience of others let US avail our
selves.
Preparation Of Ground. The usual
method Of planting cotton is the ridge
plan, in order to free the roots Of the
plant from any standing water that
might accumulate from rains, &C.
Were the ground underdrained this
would not be as necessary. The
ground should be plowed deep and
thoroughly pulverized, and if it could
be fall plowed all the better. In
the spring throw into ridges three
feet apart, by turning two furrOws to-
ward each other.
Plantins.-This is done in various
ways-the principal one in the South
is to open the top of this ridge with a
tool called the opener, which would
correspond with a small plow here
Into this opening, the hands scatter
the seed, and by little practice sue
ceed in distributing it very evenly
but considerable thicker than it is de-
signed to remain, so it may be thinneC
out, insuring a good stand. The
character of the upland cotton seed is
such as to make it difficult to drop il
from any ordinary machinery, th'
cottony coating causing it to adhere
together. The most approved imple,
ment, we believe, in use, is one wheru
the seeding apparatus is composed o
two disks placed on q shaft, with thei
insides towards each other, and thei
edges coming nearly together, leaving
space for the seed to be thrown out a
it revolves, the seed being placed
withing the two discs in moving owe
the ridge drops out, the quantity beinj
governed by the width they are Sc
apart. Too much haste should not b
made to get the seed in the groun
before it Is thoroughly prepared an
well warmed up. Experience in on
own State has shown that if good seec
is planted in good, well preparer
ground by the middle of May, we ma,
be pretty sure of obtaining a GOO
picking. The plants from such plant
ing are more sure of a strong, rapi
growth, and will be much less likel,
to be attacked by the aphis, which
very apt to trouble late and unhealth
plants.
Great care should be taken in GOV
ering the seed with thoroughly pulyer
lied earth, as it insures closer contae
with the seed, and causes an earl,
termination. If all things are favora
bic, the plant will appear above groun
in from eight to ten days. The
