The growing of cotton in the valley of the Rio
Grande was commenced many years ago. fhe
promise of success brought the business into no.
tice very promptly.
Mexican labor was used in producing and In
picking cotton. They evinced skill in the matter.
They were hired very cheap-four dollars per
month.
Cotton has to be planted every third year. The
plant does not die during the winter unless from
remarkably cold weather, which seldom occurs.
The second crop is as good as the first. The third
is not so good the fibre is general shorter.
The cotton grown was of very superior quality,
and was SO pronounced by planters from the
Southern States.
The Mexican war, and other causes, entirely sus
pended the growing of cotton on the Mexican side.
The Incidence Of the people, the difficulty of pro-
curing laborers the Cortina war and the late civil
war, prevented the business from being revived
on this bank.
Mr.. John d. McAllen has made forward move.
ment in the matter, and his success has been very
complete.
A. G. Misted has already picked equal to bale
to the acre, and he has nearly three months Of
able him to pick as much more, thus making two
bales TO the acre.
The facilities for growing cotton in the valley Of
the Rio Grande are not inferior TO the most fa
vored localities in the world. The growing sea
son embraces ten months of the year. The pick.
ing is practicable through the entire year. The
mildness of the climate renders the summers and
the winters available for out door work. Lands
are remarkably cheap.
Mexico furnishes a market az our doors for
great deal more cotton than we shall grow for
years 20 come. The Rio Grande opens to pro-
6ucers the markets of the world.
Here is q field for the capitalist and the man of
enterprise, the poor and industrious. We want
population; others want homes. Brownsville

Nothing 10 done upon credit. The association
never buys any thing 1t has not the money TO pay

New METHOD OF CURING MEAr.--The Buffalo
Advertiser says that Messrs. Alberger, who have
an extt nsive slaug ghterh house in that city, have
sdoP,ed,s new and very curious plan for curing
meat, by ejecung brine into the blood vessels.
he folio wing Is brief description of the process:
The hog having first been rendered unconscious
by blow ON the head, is brought to the edge Of
the scsdiDg vat laid upon its back. and its ster-
nun or breast bone laid open with q saw so as to
expose the heart. That organ is then pierced,
allowing as much of the arterial blood TO escape
as will flow. The animal IS soalded, its hair re
moved, and is then conveyed to the ejecting table.
Over this table, at the height of eight or ten feet
is placed q reservoir of strong, cold brine, into
which are inserted rubber tubes terminating u
small metal pipes. An orifce having been made
in the left ventrce OF the heart, of these pipes
il inserted into 1t and tied, aud the brine blows
into the channels Of circulation, driving the blood
before ID and out of the incsion n the heart ITSELF
As soon as the blood ceases to flow full circu-
laton of brine has taken its place, aud in from
eight to ten minutes the flesh is sufficiently i'm
preepated with salt TO warrant its being imme.
diately sent TO market. The animal is then disem
boweied, cut up and the product disposed Of in
the usual way. Those portions designed for
smoking are submitted 10 that process at once,
and the rest is either packed or dry salted as may
be desired.
The great features of this process of curing
meats tor food are that il may be used in all sea
sons Of the year and in all climates: that il 10
simple and easy in its application, requiring no
peculiar skill and no expensive or complicated
machinery and last, but not least, that it OBJ.
vistes the customary delay in getting the pro-
duee 10 market which is involved in the old pro-
cess. and thereby largely reduces the amount Of
active capital necessary TO carry on the business.
This new process also seems 10 us TO be destined
to become a valuable agency in the worlds econ
omy in warm climates.

Congressmen. They carried Ohio, but ve i'm
