SHIP REFUGE, NEW ORLEANS, July 7, 1859.
II EnSsnann ESQ Orleans Cotton Press:

SIR: In January last received from your Press 1889
bales of cotton, of which about 1000 recon
pressed and bound with V ur new Iron Tie" I
can safely affirm that the cotton bound was re-
ceved in better order than it generally from
the Presses that it slowed. better and enabled the
ship to carry more than any previous voyage
The cotton when discharged from the ship in
Liverpool was in bette Order than the rope bound
cotton, it is highly preferable for ground tier as
dampness from the ballast has no effect upon it. for
it is well known by pract cal men that damp will
rot tho rope bound. 1 confd4 ntly recommend
your Iron Tie as took this lot for experiment
and carefully watched it both in loading and dis
charging
I am Sir, Yours Respectfully

FORTY.SIX YEARS EXPER1ENCE.-A
gentleman who has had experience as
farmer forty.six years, gives the american
Agricazturist some notes on his farming
practice. Among other things, he re-
marks:
Some men say that corn will degenerate
and run out. My father got kind of
yellow twelve-rowed corn in the year of the
great eclipse, in 1906, which 1 remember
very we'll. 1 took it from him in the year
1920, and have it now. 1t is an early,
sound corn, very easy to husk. I can
raise eighty bushels Of shelled corn to the
acre with no extra labor, planting three
and half feet apart each way. I have
another kind of eight.rowed yellow corn,
which I got in 1928, which will grow and
ripen in ninety or one hundred days.
Wheat, oats and potatoes will degenerate
and wear out with ordinary culture.)
X X X
We do not harvest our grain and cut our
hay early enough in this country. When
commenced farming I was closely watched
by my neighbors, who said that ploughed
too deep, cut my hay too early, and cut my
Grain too green. I have farmed on twelve
different farms, end the result has been,
have tripled the crops, on an average.
