Scientific HurCsory.

\ nice young man called on the
agent of the NIotfatt buildings, il New
York, on the 10th instant, and engaged
an office for the exhibition Of samples.
He promptly paid his ten dollars i'll
advance, taking possassion OF the
office and moving into it several heavy
trunks. Examining them IL the pres
ence of the ianitor, he said the firm
had sent him the wrong samples and
he would have to return the trunks il
the morning. He did not return the
trunks in the morning, but in the in
tervening night. With accomplices he
had unpacked from the trunks sec
ton ladder and other burglarious tools,
with which they effected .n entrance
into the store of Rose, King & Co. =,
several houses off, and distracted
therefrom silk goods OF the value of
$4,000. The next morning an express
wagon removed the franks. AS yet no
clue to the robbers has been obtained.
The entrance to the store was made
through /! roof.

\ STIR il, The Camp.

Gov. Caldwell, of North Carolina. is
again coming in high feather with his
party. His oder was not agreeable to
partisan nostrils, when he appointed
Hon. Kemp p. Battle, Superintendent
of Public Instruction. In his inaugu-
raj he assured his party friends that he
would appoint no Democrat to Office,
SO long as he could find competent
Republican. Mr.. Battles appointment
was regarded as ascratching indictment
of Radical intellectually. His latevlc-
tory over the Conservative Legislature
of 1871, has reinstated him. That
body appointed all officers of the yari-
GUS State institutions, the penitentiary
and deaf, dumb and blind asylum.
The Governor appointed his set.
This confronted Greek with Greek,
and the tug of war, by decision of
the Supreme Court, was favorable to
the gubernatorial appointees.
SO after brief enjoyment, the Con
servative placemen give way to the
Radicals. 1t is clean sweep.
All murmuring has ceased. With
lips periodically fixed on public pap,
the Governors friends are happy

sealed and tied with red tape. He
could not remember. having seen it be-
fore. and was amazed when he broke
the seal and read Last viii and teS-

further down, he found that the paper
was nine years old, and that the viii

Cotton.

[ will give You the result of AZ ex-
pertinent [ made this year in planting
cotton and thinning to different dis
tances in the drill The rows were
four feet wide. I took six rows, sew
enty yards long, to experiment upon.
In two of the rows [ left the stalks one
in place, one foot apart-yield, sew
enty-four pounds. In two other rows
left stalk every two feet-yield, sew
enty and one-fourth pounds and the
remaining two rows left one stalk every
three feet-yield, seventy-four and
one-fOurtl, pounds from which it will
be seen that on land capable of pro
ducing 800 pounds per acre the Weld
is nearly the same, whether lef one
foot or three feet apart. The yield
upon these six rows was at he gate of
] 1870 pounds seed cotton per acre
The patch of which this was part
contained two and one-half acres, be
ing formerly an orchard. There were
fifty fruit trees remaining on the
ground. The yield of the whole was
l ,472 pounds OF lint cotton, including
the bagging three bales) in which it
was packed, by the weight in Augusta.
The greater part of The patel. three
years previous was considered too poor
to pay cultivation ; about one-half had
been fertiized the previous years and
brought into a tolerable state Of audit

dred pounds III the need of Pc: i,r

The manuring consisted III one
fourth of it lin last January, being
lightly broadcast with lot and stable
manure, and one fourth broadcast with
green cotton seed, at the rats % p
bushels TO the acre; the whole gIanocd
in the drill at the time Of bedding with
four hundred pounds of soluble Pacific
guano, anu after application OF about
fifty pounds in june, On /" portion that

pli0at;op was made by simply scatter
ing III the row around the cotton, inst
before the plow and hoe working, &nti
made very decided improvement in
a few days, and continued for the
season.
PREPARATION AND CULTIVATION.
Immediately after broad-castlng the
manure and cotton seed Gas before

twister, following i'll the same furrow
with long bull tongue, subsoillng to
the depth of from eight TO ten inches
being very adhesive red clay SUBJ

greater depth. On the 10th and 18th
of April, bedded with long narrow
shovel plow-planted the 18th day OF
April-eame up finely to a good stand
In about two weeks. About the last
of April raked across the cotton with
an iron rake, regardless of cutting 1t
mp, and followed Immediately with the
