E Seventy bales of cotton were
sold in Pulaski on Monday last from
Lauderdale county, Ala. And we learn
that one load was from three miles be-
low Florence. Thus the fame of Pu-
laslzi as a selling market for cotton, and
a purchasing market for dry goods and
groceries ispsreading to the surrounding
counties. Many hundred bales have
come here from Lincoln, and most of
the proceeds spent for supplies; and if
we only had the enterprise to build a
turnpike to the Lincoln line, many
hundreds more would come, Pulaski
is better market to sell cotton or buy
goods than Nashville or Memphis either,
and the quicker farmers of Lincoln,
Limestone, Lauderdale, Lawrence and
Marshall find it out the better for them.
Our merchants ought to combine and
issue several thousand circulars to the
people of the surrounding counties, set
ting forth our advantages.

sB Did you ever saw wood, reader?
Well, you never would saw wood after
you once saw our woOd-sawer, who
would saw wood with dull wood saw.
He was saving the other day and he
had his wood on the horse with the end
hanging over so that il would drop of
when he got through. He got the stick
nearly off and he concluded that he
didn't want it to drop in the mud, so he
laid his saw down and caught hold of
the stick to drag it back on the horse,
and as he did so he got his finger in the
crack made by the saw and which was
stretched open by the weight of the
end of the stick, and as he drew it back
It closed up on his finger, and the first
thing he could think of was to hollow,
and then he cussed, and then he laid it
all on the saw because it was dull, and
then he put his finger in his mouth and
went in the house to have it wrapped
up.

Electrotyping and StereOryping.

An electrotype is type or exact like
ness of any engraving, stamp, or page Of
printing-types, produced in metal by means
of electricity. Electrotypes are usually
made OF copper, and are used to print
books and newspapers from, instead of
wood engravings and common printing
types.
Nearly all the illustrations or pictures
in our books and papers, which make them
so much more interesting, are first cut or
engraved on hard kind of wood called
box wood. This is slow process, and costs
much money. The wood-cuts, or " blocks -
as they are called, may be used to print
from directly but the wood wears away
SO rapidly that few hundred impressions
would spoil all the finer lines and destroy
the beauty of the engraving, and then it
would have to be done over again. But it
has been found that this wonderfully oblig-
ing force called electricity, is ready, not
only to carry messages for us all over the
globe, but to make for us, in few min
utes, and at a small expense, an exact copy
of the wood-engraving, with all its delicate

KINDNEss TO CATTLE.-A Massachusetts,
farmer says in regard to the management Of
cattle My cattle like my company. When
in the pasture they Will follow me until I
leave the lot; and as general rule they
come up to the barn yard every night about
sunset, and in their way call for a lock OF
hay. Though l give them all they want,
they take but few mouthfuls, which salts
fes them, and am confident that it does
them q good deal of good. 1t keeps their
bowels regular, and they thrive well and are
happy. They do much better than they did
when 1 changed pastures once week, for
now they have change of food every day
instead of once in a week. Cattle need kind
ness and they pay well for it. can handle
my steers and others as | please. They will
come up to me while am milking and in
vite me to play with them. The time, think,
10 not far distant when soiling cattle will be
tho most profitable iwhere most of the farm
can be cultivated. Provide small lot Tor
them to run in. feed green fodder, save all
the manure, and our farms will grow richer.

ANCIENT TIMBER.-Probably the Oldest
timber in the world which has been subject
to the use Of man, is that viii oh is found in
the ancient temples of Egypt. 1t is found in
connection with stone-work, which is known
To be at least 1000 years old. This wood
and the only wood used in the construction
of the tempt, is IN the form of ties, holding
the end OF one stone to another in its upper
surface. When two blocks were laid in place,
then it appears that an excavation about an
inch deep was made in each block, into which
an hour-slass shaped tie was driven. 1t is
therefore very dIfhcult to force any stone
from its position. The ties seem to have
been the tamarisk, or shittim wood, of which
the ark was constructed, sacred tree in
ancient Egypt, and now very rarely found in
the valley OF the Nile. These d0ve-taled ties
are just as sound now as on the day of their
Insertion. Although fuel is extremely scarce
IN that country, these bits of wood are not
large enough to make it an object with Arabs
to heave off layer alter layer of heavy stone
for SO small prize. Had they been OF
bronze, half the old temples would have been
destroyed ages ago, so precious would they
have been Tor various purposes.

DRYING GREEN WooD.-A new method
for drying green wood IN very short tim,
consists in boiling for some hours in water
and leaving it then TO cool, by which the
soluble substances are rem wei. LIZ is then
boiled in an aqueous solution of borax, by
winch the insoluble albumen of tue wood is
rendered soluble and escapes from the pores.
The wood is then placed 10 drying chambers.
heated by steam, and allowed to remain three
days. Wood thus treated is more compact
than it would be by years Of ordinary expos
ure; it does not shrink or warp, and is Sc
cure against decay; on account OF its greater
density it is more easily polished, and better
fitted for articles of furniture and musical
instruments.

The SUNFLowER.-The cultivation of the
sunhower is likely to become popular in H.
dia. An Indian authority says:
The oil extracted from the seed is said to
be superior to both almond and olive oil for
table use, and to be employed in manuiac-
turing wooden goods, soap and candles,
as well as for lighting purposes. Tue
leaves have been manufactured into CT
CARS, having pectoral qualities, and might
perhaps be found more eficacious than
stramonium Tue blossoms furnish a bril-
liant yellow dye, which stands well. Each
acre will contain from Is 900 to 20 900 plants
and the average quantity OF seed will be If
ty bushels, each of which will give gallon
of OIL The quantity of seed is much in
creased by dwarfng the plants, the best
manure for which is said to be old mortar
broken up. The plants should be kept clean
and free from weeds, and the quantity of seed
required is about six pounds per acre. They
should have sufficient interval between them
for exposure to the sun. as under such Cir
cumstances they become larger and more full
| Iy stored with seed.

GAPEs IN CHICK sNs.-" An ounce of pre-
vention is better than pound of cure is
an old adage, and with regard to this fatal
disease. If a spoonful of sulphur is mixed
two or three times week into two quart
of dough and fed to the poultry, there will
be no need Of medicine administered to kill
the worms in the windpipe. 1t has another
beneficial effect; it prevents the chicks from
becoming lousy, and nothing is more detri-
mental to the well-doing OF fowls than lice.
formerly was much troubled with both
xspes and Ice, but find sulphur a sure cure
all for both evils, and for the past three years
have had no trouble in raising them. My
theory with regard to the gapes is, that the
larve of various insects are picked up AMI
eaten, the warmth of the stomach of course
matches the eggs. and they are allowed iul
time to grow, and at last fairly choke th'
breath out of the fowl. By ID occasional dos'
of sulphur the stomach is cleansed of them
aud they pass of with no injury. CORES

POWDERED Coal FOR UNHEALTHY PLANTS.
In communication, addressed to the Re
uue Horticole, the writer states that he pur-
chased very fine rosebush, full of buds, and
after anxlously waiting their maturing, was
greatly disappointed when this took place,
to find the flowers small, Insignificant in ap-
pearance, and of dull, faded color. InciteC
by the suggestion OF a friend, he then tried
the experiment of filling in the top of the
pot around the bush, to the depth of half an
inch, with fuely pulverized stone coal. 10

seeing the roses assume beautiful red, al

WHAT THE LEAF DoEs.-It pumps water
from the ground, through the thousands of
tubes in the stem oil the tree, and sends it
into the atmosphere in the form of unseen
mist, to be condensed and fall in showers !;
the very water that, were it not for the leaf :,
would sink IN the earth aud fnd its way,

OLD EGGS. The Manchester N. H. Mirror
Gays that twenty-four years ago a gentleman
in a suburban town packed several eggs in a
box OF oats and put them in an out of the
way place in the attic of his store, with the
Intention of testing their condition at the
end of years time. Forgetting all about
them, nearly quarter OF century had
passed, when in overhauling the contents OF
the attic, he came upon the box in its hiding
place. Upon breaking the eggs. the shells
of which appeared sound, the whites were
found to have totally disappeared, while the
yolks remained dried and quite hard. The
oats in which the eggs were packed were
sound as the day when they were put in the
box, and the gentleman has planted several
