But early on Friday the operators in cot
ton found that ''change had come over
the spirit of their dream" 4 severe storm
of rain throughout the South had probably
done much injury to the cotton remaining
in the field; receipts at the ports fell of
materially, and the quantity coming to this
market was somewhat reduced, planters
showing a disposition to withhold their
cotton from market rather than accept the,
to them, ruinOus low prices; .spinnerS whose
wants are now about 1900 bales per week,
showed disposition 20 secure supplies i'll
advance Of current needs; shippers, by an
advance in gold and exchange, were enabled
to operate more freely; and all these cir
cumstances, by giving an upward turn to
the market, brought in the ''ShortS" as free
buyers, especially for the early months
the result being some advance in prices.
Latterly, the spring months have received
more attention, it being suggested that
many Of the influences which have depress-
ed cotton will then have ceased to operate
1t is cOniectUred that Congress will devise
some means of relief to the money market;
that the American cotton mills will not re-
main long closed nor run on short time:
that ease will return to the foreign money
anu anu
ter will both improve in trade and prices;
that capital will then come forward and in
sist on carrying the balance of the crop;
and that there will be such a revival in
general trade as will impart an improved
tone to business circles. In this anticipa-
ted favorable turn of affairs it is conjectured
that cotton must, to some extent, share,
and hence disposition to purchase for the
later months.
The statistical position of cotton is a
strong one. The falling off in the receipts
at the ports to last Friday was 49,, 120
bales; the stocks are nearly $4,000 bales
smaller; the visible supply of cotton of all
descriptions is 199,G49 bales smaller than
one year ago; while notwithstanding the
decreased receipts and decreased stocks Of
all grades at all points, the quotation for
middling uplands at Liverpool is 15d lower
than at this time last year. There is at the
same time nothing in the general situation
to indicate that there will be any perma-
nent falling off in the consumption of cot
ton fabrics; an increase, rather, may be an
ticipated.

Condition of the Cotton Trade.

From the New York Bulletin, Nov. II.
The market appears to have passed
through a severe crisis during the past
week, and in the judgment of many the
crisis of the season has been reached, and
that henceforth more favorable course of
the market. The advance which took
place toward the close of last week was, it
is now evident, the result of manipulation
Operators engaged in a combination to put
up prices, in order, as was said, to ''make a
market to sell on" They were so far sue
cessful as to enable them to put out con-
tracts for several thousand bales at prices
which afforded them a profit at 1615c %
fb by covering" later in the week. The
receipts at the ports at one time promised
an increase for the. week over the core
spending week last year; and not only this,
but receipts at this market were excessive,
aggregating nearly 10000 bales. With
freight room scarce and high, the foreign
markets dropping, gold and exchange lower
the receivers under the necessity of selling
owing to the difficulty Of obtaining adj
vanceS, the demand for consumption re-
duced by the stOppage of mills, the large
receipts above mentioned, and the ''bears"
''hammering" the market with the utmost
vigor, it can scarcely surprise anyone that a
state of panic prevailed for time ON the
floor of the Cotton Exchange, and that the
only anxiety seemed to be to sell, the price
being the secondary consideration. Early
on Thursday some inside prices were
reached, but on Friday morning there was
the nearest approximation to panic. The
following will exhibit the course of prices ::

COAL ASHES AS A FERTILIZER.

A correspondent of the Department
of Agriculture at Franklin, Pa, writes:
l have always believed that coal ashes
had a value for agricultural purposes,
and have advocated the free use of
them, particularly on limestone soil.
This season determined to get closer
to the root of the matter and test their
value fully. l had plot of ground on
which had been unsuccessful for sew
eral years in raising good Early Rose
potatoes. The soil was in the best con.
dition always. The tops did well. This
spring had the ground scored about
six inches deep, placed the cut pota-
toes in the bottom, and filed up with
coal ashes. The plants grew finely,
Notwithstanding the dry weather. The
tops did not fall over even after the
weather changed, and l secured crop
of the very best potatoes for the table
l ever raised.
The second experiment was with
onion seed and coal ashes. l put out
five good-sized beds in seed. In four
the seed was covered with soil; the fifth
l covered with sifted coal ashes. The
result surprised every person that knew
of the experiment and watched its pro-
gress.
A third experiment was started on
seed which promised utter failure to
those who looked on. The end has not
yet been reached, but am more than
satisfied with the result thus far, and
fully satisfied that my experiment will
bring me at least 800 more than if left
untried. 1 have abiding faith in coal
ashes, and am ready to use all 1 can
purchase.

bones OF birds are found with their ex-
crements: and the white settlers for
800 years and the Indians for unknown
ages before protected the seabirds by
Furnishing with death those that de-
stroyed them, which were seen to sup
ply this fertilizer. If DIR. Habel should
find grass-seed in the excrements of a
horse, or microscopic sponges or she'll
fish in those of goose or penguin,
would that prove that neither horse
nor bird had any part in
forming such manureP A large part
of South Carolina phosphates are fossil
dung called coprolites. 1t does not al
ways follow that when stone takes the
form and place of wood, or Of other
organic matter, that the change is very
old. Boussingault found fields In Peru
that had produced good crops of wheat
two hundred years in succession by the
use of few pounds of guano each
year. That the same substances yoided
by penguins to form guano exist in the
Pacific ocean no one doubts; and it is
the absence of rain on the coast that
prevents the injurious teaching of a
fertilizer which resembles that from a
dry chicken-house. DIR. Habel's dis
covery probably amounts to nothing.

GRASSES AND PLANTS NEARLY
ALLIED.

Prof. Gray enumerates IN the North
ern States ten species of EquiSetace, OF
the rush tribe, like our common bull
rushes; 26 species of JumedcG or the seed
tribe; Ola species of CyperacG, or sedge
tribe; and 1914 species of Gran1inace, or
grass tribe. OF the latter l62 are ma
tives of the United States and 30 have
been introduced, mostly from Europe.
In private collections there are over so
species of imported grasses. OF those
cultivated in this country nearly all,
like the white man himself, have been
introduced. In the Ohio Agricultural
Report for 1867, Mr.. Chppard says
Ohio has los species of true grasses,
and strange to relate 26 have been
introduced, and they alone are cultivat-
ed" He gives a complete list of these
los species, their botanical and common
names, time of towering, and states in
what part of the State found. One
of the best in the whole catalogue is
misprinted in the volume before us.
The grass is feStucG eldtjOr or tall fescue
grass, which is printed fall fescue.
Meadow fescue, or festuca pratense, "a
very valuable grass which we have
grown in Georgia. appears not to be
cultivated in Ohio. The meadow fox
tail and floating fox-tail are named as
"rare." They deserve extensive culti-
walton. In 1857 the hay crop of Ohio
is reported as worth twenty million dol
lars. Horses about doubled in value in
six years from 1851 to 1867.

ASHES, GYPSUM, ETC, AS MANURE

The american RurdI Home thus tells
how a New York State farmer accumu-
lated $4,000 worth of bank stock,
through the use of ashes, plaster and
other manureS:
During the year 1857, man named
Arthur Dugan went to the town of
Palermo, n. Y, and bought sixty acres
of dry sandy land, with here and there
a little pertaining to gravel He paid
81, 800 for it. He knew nothing about
farming, being machinist by trade,
and never held a pillow. After paying
for his land, he had 5000 left. He be-
gan, and found his land was worn out.
His first crops were-wheat, five bush
els per acre; rye, eight bushels; pota-
toes, seventy-five; corn, mere nothing.
The second year even worse. He had
to hire part of his sheep pastred out;
he could not hold his own. But being
a man of excellent Judgment, and a
great reader, his good Judgment, aided
by theories, carried him through.
HE began by buying ashes and
plaster; would draw potatoes fourteen
miles to Oswego, and load his team
back with manure from the liver stab
les. His crops increased. His ashes
were spread correspondingly thick.
He raised principally potatoes and
wheat. Now, 1000 bushels of ashes
per year is about what he buys. His
potatoes, for several years past, ay.
erage $50 bushels per acre; his winter
wheat, thirty bushels and over; and he
has saved, from his farm alone, till he

SAVE THE MAMIE.

If manure be the life of the farm, and
it is, it stands toreason that none should
be wasted. The time of the year has
come when stock. except far South,
must be regularly fed. The manure
made by cattle must be disposed of,
else it Will accumulate to such a de-
gree as to become nuisance. In the
West, especially on our virgin soils,
and in all new countries, the converse
ton of manure is of course neglected,
and as a consequence it accumulates
until its removal, after its most valu-
able constituents have been wasted, be-
comes an onerous job.
To prevent this waste, when stock
are fed in open yard, there should be
spread over the whole surface, but es-
pecially under the shed or shelter,
straw, slough hay, litter of any kind, OF
even corn stalks to absorb and hold
the liquid portions Of the manure
dropped. If to this be added, from
time to time, the constantly &C
cumulating waste litter of the farm
it will, by spring, have formed a large
mass of the richest, coat Sc or partially
decayed manure. This it will, perhaps,
not be either convenient or profitable
to haul out in the spring, although it
is in fact, in just the right shape to
pillow under for corn, potatoes or other
gross-feeding crops. If not hauled in
spring, it should be piled into square
and convenient piles, the higher the
better, and by fall it will be in admira-
BILE condition to be drawn into mead
ows that are failing, or intended fol
planting in the spring, as top-dress'
ing. It will also be all right as top
dressing for fall wheat. If not wanted
for these, apply it to land upon which
early potatoes are to be planted, never
forgetting to save an ample quantity
for the vegetable garden.
There are an infnity of ways in
which it can be used. If those farmers
who have been in the habit of letting
their manure lie around loose, would
but reflect that, sooner or later, the ac'
cumulations must be hauled away tC
be got rid of, they would come to see
that the manure really costs nothing

CHuRNING WHOLE MILK.

We had an inquiry last week relat-
ing to the freezing of milk, asking
whether cold temperature sometimes
reaching the freezing point decreased
the quantity of cream, which question
was answered in the affirmative, in our
column of Questions and and
Answers" Our correspondent, and
others who cannot preserve an uniform
temperature for the milk without keep
ing it in contact with the air in the
living room, may make first class but
ter by churning the whole milk, with
out skimming; or at least skimming
only so far as to furnish cream for
domestic uses.
The plan to be pursued when the
whole milk is to be churned' is to save
themilkings until enoughis gatheredfor
churning, allowing what cream will rise
to do so. Then, pouring the cream and
milk together into a suitable vessel,
set it where it will become sour and
thick, avoiding all stirring or shaking, so
as not to break the film on top, and
thus allowing air to enter the mass,
which would cause rapid fermentation.
The proper degree of acidity may be
known by the film or skin becoming
thick and uneven over the contents Of
the vessel in which it is placed; deep,
large jar may be used. When theprop-
er degree of sourness has come, churn
Immediately. having the temperature
of $50, which is somewhat higher than
that necessary for the proper churning
of cream. Churn steadily and at an
even stroke, until the butter is formed,
and then proceed with the sailing and
working as in ordinary cases. This
plan will enable you to keep your jar
where there is fire. Where facilities
for raising the cream are not good, and
where only few COWS are kept, this
way is both easy and economical
In Holland, where much whole milk
is churned, the milk is repeatedly STIR
red to prevent the cream from rising,
which causes the mass to thicken rapid
ly. The proper degree of sourness is
determined by it's being thick enough
to hold spoon upright. If it do not
adhere to bone OF ivory knife, it is
right for chu1ning.
In Brittany, on the other hand, the
mornings milk is poured directly into
the churn, to which is added the pre-
ceding evenings milk. The whole is
then allowed to stand several hours
when it is churned and worked. Both
of these methods are said to give ex-
cellent butter. 1t is a well-known fact
that both Holland and Brittany diaries
are noted for the superior qualities of
their butter.
1t is claimed that given quality of
milk, churned whole, Will give five per
cent more of butter than where the
cream is allowed to rise. Butter of the
most superior quality can be made from
whole milk Cummings, and the whole
process is simple and easy. 1t is prin-
cipally question of labor in churning
so large a mass. This, however, is not
onerous where but few COWS are kept.
The butter is also gilt-edged when
fresh, ank keeps equally well with that
made from cream.-WeStern Rural.

SHEEP HUsBANDRY ABROAD.

From statistics relative TO the pro-
duction of wool it appears in round
numbers Great Britain and Ireland
grow more wool than the United States,
although there are more than thirty
States and two of them are larger than
the former countries. In fact it is
stated that the Colony of Australia so
recently populated grows as much wool
as the States, viz: l30,000,O00 lbs,
while Great Britain and ireland pro-
duce 260,000,000 lbs. In England a
numerous well-fed flock of sheep is con-
sidered to be essentially necessary for
the well doing of every upland farm
and it is generally seen that those who
keep the most sheep and feed them
highly enrich themselves and their land.
How is it so many farmers in America
keep no sheep?
A WORKING FARMER.
Because the American braini is affiict-
ed with canine madness, and farmers
dare not attempt to keep sheep so long
as the malady lasts.
