I saw Gov. Swain with copy of DR.. Cald
wells 50 Carlton Letters - in his hand-let-
ters written forty or fifty years ago to the
people of North Carolina on the lmpor-
tance and advantages Of Railroads, and
now forgotten, but which would do good
if in circulation now. Gov Swain loved
to speak of them and point out their ex
cellencies. There is homely humor and
force of Illustration, plain way Of putting
the argument, with such evidence Of keen
and sagacious observation of the common
people, their ways and their wants, as we
rarely see in a close student and man OF
letters. In those points they are not un-
like Sydney Smiths admirable lectures to
the poor Of his parish.
One of these letters, | think, took the
form of a dialogue. The old hard hearted
farmer is shown the advantage of quick re-
turns for his crops and the advantage of q
rorietv of crops on his little farm. Charles
the son is told how. instead of lounging
and yawning away his odd hours round the
country store or tavern, learning to drink
and talk politics, he might easily acquire
skill in some light handicraft, to be carried
on in the interests of farm work-say bas-
ket-making-baskets made from rosters
grown or the creek side and shipped to
Newbern and Beaufort per railroad, and
sold directly. While the girls, Polly and
Betsey, would fad ready sale in the same

CorToN SEED OIL.-The cotton seed
in its ordinary condition weighs about
33 pounds per bushel of which about one
half is oil-yielding kernel, and the rest
husk or hull, the latter being covered
with short woolly coat Of 6bres or fla
ment. In the usual method Of extract
ing the oil this hull is removed by ma
chinery, and the oil is express from the
kernels by subjectipg the same to great
pressure after being ground, about 6O
gallons of oil being obtained from ton
of the hulled seed. The oil weighs
about pounds to the gallon, and may
be used not only in the manufacture #
soap, but for grinding paints. aud, when
of first quality and properly refined, Us
table oil in the place Of that OBJ
tained from olives. One reason why
this branch of production has not thrlven
better may, perhaps, be found in the
employment of costly machinery, which
not only involves large original out
lay of capital. but necessitates the con-
sumption of all the seed Of large neigh
borhoud in order to keep the Apparatus
constantly aud thus proftably employ yed,
while the most available method would
appear to involve the use of cheap and
easily operated machinery. This would
enable each proprieto: to extract the oil
from the seed at such times and und r
such circumstances as might be the most
convenient, and to employ the Cation
seed as manure to nearly the same cx-
tent as if the crude sred were buried in
the earth, inasmuch as the oil is simply
hydro carbon, worth comparatively
little as fertilizer, while the pom"ce
or oil cake containing the mineral mat
ter and substances capable Of gener"tng
ammonia could b. nsed fur manurlal
purposes.

GOD BLESS THE FARM.

God bless the farm-the dear old farm,
God bless its every rood
Where willing heart and sturdy arm
Can earn an honest livelihood,
Can from the coarse but turtle soil
Get back recompense for toll.
God bless each meadow, field and nook,
Begemmed with fairest flowers,
And every leaf that's gently shook,
By evening breeze or morning showers
God bless them all-each leafs gem
In Natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards that in early Spring,
Blush rich with fragrant flowers,
And with each Autumn surely bring
Their wealth of fruit in golden showers,
Like pomegranates on Aaron's rod
A miracle from Natures God.
And may be blessed the farmers home,
Where peace and plenty reign,
No happier spot meath heavens high dome
Doth this broad beauteous earth contain
Than where secure from care and strife,
The farmer leads his peaceful liie-
Unvexed by tolls and tricks for gain,
He turns the fertile mould,
Then scatters on the golden grain.
And reaps reward hundred fold:
He dwells where grace and beauty charm
For God has blcst his home and farm.
