AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The Su.
prcme Court of Georgia hns recently
announced the following decision
"Where factor makes ADVANCES to a
planter and takes lien upon the grow
ing crops under revised code, section
l,977, such advances are in the nature Of
purchase money, and the lien is there
fore superior to the wife's title, where
the crop was set apart to her as person
atty under the homestead laws, after it
was made"

PROSPECTS OF COTTON PLANTING.
New York Shipping and Commercial List,
OF Saturday. the Oath ult., says:
Notwithstanding the protestations of q
portion OF the press in the cotton States
against increasing the production OF cot
ton, on the plea thut small crop will
bring more money than large one,
there is reason to believe that the area of
land to be devoted to the feecy staple the
ensuing season will be materially en-.
!arged, under the stimulus afforded by
the present high prices. and the excep-
tional cheapness OF provisions. High
prices rarely fail to increase production,
OF which the hog crop this year and last
ahorcs notable example, and therefore
those pragmatic writers who have been
telling us that the South will be richer
with 10000 or 5000, 900 bales than
Win double the quantity, may as well
make up their minds that their theories
will not be acted upon this year. The
idea OF limiting production for the pur-
pose of creating wealth is rather a re-
markable one, since no sophistical fancies
can do away with the stubborn facts
which involve o reduction of capital pro-
portionate to the diminution in the
breadth of land and the amount of labor
used In growing cotton. Commerce can
no more be insensible to O reduction or
Limitation of the worlds aggregate pro-
duction of the great staple than it could
be 1nsensible to the reduction of the
worlds aggregate supply of gold and
silver. Nobody would seriously think of
maintaining, in the latter case, that the
loss OF quantity would be compensated
by tho enhancement Of price; and it is
equally irrational to contend that the
enforced falling of in cotton production.
by reason of diminished capital and
labor, would be more than made up in
the higher nominal price brought by
smaller crops. The commercial and in :
dustrial interests of the world are all
bound up together as one great partner.
ship, and it is mathematically i'm possible
that what the whole positively loses can
count as positive gain for q particular
part. The material interests of the
South, then, will be best subserved by
bringing up the production of cotton to
the normal figure, and keeping it in a
progressive increase from year to year,
corresponding with the growth of the
worlds wants in respect to cotton con-
sumption. And if, at the same time. the
planters pay due attention to the diver
sihcatlon of industry, whereby their de-
pendence on other sections for food may
be sensibly lessened, they need have no
very grave fears about the production Of
cotton greatly ontrunning the consump-
tion.

The Fowl House.

Tho swcepings from tho poultry house. if
properly saved, viii prove the richest source
of manure on the plantation. Analysis Of the
droppings Of domestic fowls shows more than
sixteen per cent, of nitrogonous matter, and
nearly six pOr cent salin matter, indicating its
value to be nearly equal TO the riches speei-
mems Of Peruvian Guano. Since the cost Of it
IS nothing, the profit in the use Of i; is great.
The fowl house should boswopt out twice or
three times every week, aud all tho droppings
placed in barrel, and while fresh, they should
be covered over with land plaster, charcoal
dust, or fine woods earth. This will preserve
it in good condition, and prevent any loss by
evaporation.
Tho peculiar richness Of the dung of fowls
is Supposed TO be frcm the fact tha. the liquid
and solid oxcrcmcnts arc together It's yaluo
as c manure is far more permanent than any
guano, the strength Of it being very pcrccpti-
be for years
For liquid manuring there is no better prep
ara,ion than water, in which fowl house ma
uuro has been leached A barrel half filed
from the fowl house'and sunk in the ground in
the garden, and then kept filed with water
to DO used as wanted, will furnish liquid ma
nuFe for many weeks. When the soaking is
fresh, it should be diluted, for it is very easy
to burn up plants by using too strong solu-
ton.
