NeS Method OF Cotton Culture.

According to the Yorkvillc Is. C.)
Enquirer planter in Edgetield Dis
trict, i'm that State, under process
similar to that proposed by Mr.. Poul-
lain, raised last year fifteen hundred
pounds of lint cotton to one acre of
land. He planted two stalks to the
hill. al distance of eight feet each
way. The hills were prepared as ii
for transplanting fruit trees, being dug
down to a depth of twenty inches and
Two feet in diameter. Sandy loan
and manure were then filled in, and
the seeds planted. The enormous
Weld is attributed to the thorough
subsoiling. the manure and the space
the latter being sufficient to allow
the rays Of the ''sun to penetrate the
lower branches of the plant and de-
,vclope these fully. AS cotton is es-
sentially,a sun plant, never, thirty -ns
unless fully supplied with sun warmth
the philosophy of this method lis at
once apparent. f,.-. ga.
Another method has been tried in
Union District, in the same State, and
with the Dickson improved seed.
This is to subsoil deeply, and plant in
hills three feet each way, thinning out
the plants when large enough, to two
i'm each hill About fifteen hundred
pounds of seed cotton to the acre was
gained ffoHfa five acre field planted
late IN the spring in this way.

b From some of my reading of some
of the best authorities on the ~subiect
here referred to, / have come to the
following conclusion Vessels intend
ed to contain liquor Of high tempera-
ture, should I'D constructed of materi.
ais which are the worst radistors of
heat. Thus, tea urns and tea pots are
best adapted for their purpose when
constructed of polished metal, and
worse when constructed of black por-
celain. A black porcelain tea pot is
the worst conceivable material for
that purpose, for both its materia.
and color are good radiators of heat
and the liquid contained i'm it cools
with the greatest possible rapidity.
On the other hand, bright metal tea
pot is best adapted for the purpose, be-
cause it is the worst radiator Of heat
and therefore cools as slowly as pos
sible. A polished silver or brass tea
urn is better adapted to retain the heat
of the water than one of dull brown
color, such as is most commonly used.
= A tin kettle retains the heat of the
water boiling in it more cffcctually if
it be kept clean and polished, than if
it be allowed to collect the smoke and
SCOT TO which it is exposed by the &C
ton Of the fire. When coated with
this its surface becomes rough and
black, and is powerful radiator of
heat. A close stove, INTENDED. ITO heat
apartments, should not have a polished
surface, for in that case it is one of the
worst radiators of heat, and nothing
can be contrived less fit for the purpo-
sc towhich i: is applied. On the 9TH
er hand rough, unpublished surface
ofcast iron is favorable to radiate, and
a fire in such a stove will always pro-
duce most powerful effect. .

Soups.

A good soup contains the nutri-
ment most needed, for q trifiing ex-
pense, and should be found OH everv
table at least twice a week-once q
day would be better. .....
A few points are very essential i'm
making good soup. Beefis the best
meat for the purpose, as it contains
the most nourishment. A shank bone
we'll cracked, that the marrow NAV be
extracted, which you can purchase for
Is cents, will make an abundant soup
for family OF half a dozen persons
twice. The bone should be put to
soak i'm cold water, allowing a full
quart for every pound of meat, and
by very gradual heat come to slow
simmer, which should be kept ND five
o. six hours. Soup should OH no ac-
count be allowed to boil, except for
the last ten or fifteen minutes, to cook
the vegetables in finishing. For the
first hour of simmering, it should be
frequently skinned. Salt and pep
per and savory should be cooked in it
from the frs, and the rice added at
last for thickening. vegetables are
desired they should be neatly sliced,
and the soup strained finally through
sieve. Great care should be used to
skim off the fat as it rises, which will
be necessary for some hours. If soup
is allowed to cool and used the second
day after making, it will be all the
better, as then the grease can be ell
tirely removed. -
Very delicious soups can be made
i'm the same manner, from game, fowls,
mutton, or veal, and thickening them
with a little arrow-rOOt or corn starch.

Queens Elizabeth and Mary.

Froude has a: last completed his
work. He is not an admirer of Eliza
beth any more than Motley. Accor-
ding to both historians she was .pet-
ty, vascillating woman, who 'neter
knew her own mind for two days to-
gether, and who mere than once
brought the country to the verge of
ruin by her ficklcness, her utter inca
pacity for rule, her fondness for con-
temptible MINORS, systematic reacll-
cry and falsehOOd, end her mad svar-
ice, She swore like, a trooper, Her
chief diplomatic weapons were bare
faced lies-and such lies l. She. was
false to Murray. false to Morton,
false to Orange, false to AlcncOn,
false TO Phillip falfc to everybody!
She was unstable'a as the wind, and
as blind as a mole. 4r-ia 70 -l.,lttp
3 1t was not by her efforts that the
nation was saved, but in spite of
them. 1t was saved by the sfates-
manship of Burghley and Walsinglam,

was Protestant, and chieyfl by the in
ability of-Spain 10 cOiicentrate her

Such is Mr.. Froud's, portrait of Eliza

er pen. Richley gifted with intellect,
full OF fascination, elOduent, acute and
witty, she knew no scruplcs when
she had to compass an end OfambitiOn
or affection; she was freacherohs as
Elizabeth, and more subtle : she lied
with as much system and as much
skill she assisted, in the murder of
her husband, and She iustigated the
murder of that !Quee. BY whom she
had been protected from the fury of
the English people and the English
Parliament. Mr.. Froud's portrait of
Elizabeth excites contenrpt, qualified
by admiration; his portrait of Mary
attracts admiration qualified by horror.

Seed Peanuts.


The large amount ofinferior peanuts
going now into market, and the dis
eased condition of the germs of the
nuts with an, apparent fair, bright
hull, renders a word of caution here
particularly aprOpOs to those who
have slight experience i'm planting
and growing the crop. On splitting
open the pea you will find OF the
little leaflets of the germ at the point
ed end of the kernel brownish tinge,
and often grayish spots on the thin,
.pale-pik skin later in the season you
will find all spotted, mildewed, or in
ferior peas become deep red or pink ;
all such should be rejected for seed.
There is no crop OH which success de-
ponds so much i'm the character of the
seed IS this capricious one of the pin
dars. The drought caused the first
nuts formed in many soils to decay,
and induced disease. i'm others, and
this has been particularly observable
OH lands admirably ADAPTED TO grow
ing the crop, and most often found on
lands. where. the, fertilizers, guano,
lime, and the phosphates were used.
Such lands have produced large crops
of vines pops and saps, water to con-
vcy food were wanting for develop
ment heat induced disease, death and
decay in the nuts first formed, and I'M
health, products, so far as the germs
are concerned, is general in the crop
formed subsequent to the last rains.
The query in the peanut growing dis
trict is universal, where shall we pro-
cure good seed?
Good seed should be of pale pink,
uniform in color, bright lobes OH
opening the kernels, germ and leaflets
without tinge of brown, and should
be kept in SACKS SUI pended in airy
barn lofts, dry and cool, all winter.
The writer of this has "no axe to
grind" and will probably be a seed
buyer, althOuglls several hundred BUSH
els were grown on his lands the pres
ent seasOn.--Richm0nd Planter.

A ssmerchant prince" of New York,

beauty, who never dined without his
brandy and water, nor went to bed
without terrapin or oyster supper,
and who was never known to be

common end of those who are never
intoxicated and never out of liquor.
Halls Journal of Health gives this
account of his death: -
Months before he dicd-hc was a

without distress,s and at death ahe
whole alimentary canal was mass

From the best information we can
get, the acreabie yield of tobacco i'm
the chief tobacco-growing countries,
does not, at the most, exceed 500 lbs,
and this is, we think, high average.
We doubt very much whether 700 lbs.
would not be nearer the truth. In the
Valley Of the Connecticut the agreeable
product. is spoken Of as being from
loo to 200 lbs, and sometimes reach
ing $500 lbs. Were crops so extraor-
binary, as compared with, our. own,
not well attested, we. should doubt
the occasional statements of the pa
pers. for the reason that it is difficult
to account for a difference so remark.
able. We have. no. recollection, of
even q maximum crop having reached
the minimum there of l50O Tbs. If it
be, difference in the variety grown,
that may be easily remedied. We can
supply ourselves with the Connecti-i
cut seed.leaf, and need not fear dete-
rioration IN Quality, for in that point
we should be equally gamers, the
price Of the Connecticut, tobacco, per
pound, exceeding ours as much as the
weight per acre. al 1sI = 2. xlaf6
1t is not to be doubted, that the diff
ference in weight per acre is owing
chiefly to the difference of the methOd
of mamuring, and to this point VIC
think it well to draw the attention of
our tobacco growers. When it is de-
momstrated that the same amount of
labor will mako from ono plant quite
double the amount of product of our
best lands, the only difference being
in the quantity OF manure used, it he
comes a considerate manager to esti-
mate the value of that manure, and to
look about to ascertain where it may
be had. We can not as in past times,
bestow our labor ON two acres when
one will produce the same crop. We
must give up our old notions of culti-
vafion and rnanuring. - y -
Let the planter, therefore, that
means to plant OR manure 10 acres,
put all the manure on five. Let him
manure these well with yard manure,
and give them, besides, a heavy drcss-
ing OF the best commercial fertilizers
he can get. What if it costs 80 or
or $25 to manure an acre that will
yield him probably 500 /? 1t is i'm
such crops as this, that yield largely
per acre that he must be bold and lib
eral. Besides the, ,fertilizihg material
is by no means all spent ON the crop.

with being an exhaustera Of the soil,
but the charge can not be maintained
