SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.
Something Ahou, Cotton.


As general rule 100 pounds Of seed
cotton will yield 335 per cent. OF lint,
331 per cent. OF hull, and 333 per cent.
of kernel In the growth OF the whole
plant, lint, seed, roots, buTrs, leaves and
stems, in order to make bale o. 300
pounds of cotton, about the following
amount of mineral matter, says Pro-
lessor White. must be taken from the
soil: Pnosphoric acid, 80; potash, 40
lime. 60 so; magnesis, Is so: sulphuric
acid, q %; oxide of iron, VS.; chic
rine, u "a : soda, 20.50, and SILICA 1923
per cent. To grow the greatest amount
of lint there must be strong and Wig
orous plant, with room to branch well,
and good culture at the right season. In
other words, in order to make plenty of
cotton we have TO grow q vigorous plant
to get it. The above elements furnished
to the crop at the growing period, make
a strong plant, and, it is said, will insure
q bale of lint to the acre. The three
elements seemingly the most important
in the above, viz: phosphOric acid, lime
and potash, are required in large guam
titles, and if these are supplied the rest
may generally be left to the natural re-
sources of the soil. For cotton, then,
the farmer should apply fertilizers that
contain largely of these. There sre such
fertilizers made especially for cotton, and
for the home supply Of the farmer
could get enough of them) bones and
ashes will fill the bill.
Every cotton planter ought to begin
long before the season of planting to
manufacture a compost especially for
this crop. Make the foundation of the
compost heap by tumbling down several
loads OF rich mold from the woods, form.
ing the pile in the shape of q basin to
catch the rain, and continue to throw
on all the bones, hair, old leather,
feathers, old mortar and plaster, lesched
ashes, and such like material that may
from time to time be gathered, having
at hand mould to cover each addition TO
the pile. When the bones are added, put
them in contact with strong ashes that
the latter may reduce them to powder
Cotton seed, lime, burnt shells or mari
would be useful additions 10 the other
Ingredients. In this wsy the farmer will
get & very good cotton fertilizer. When
the commercial article is used, get such
as are said to consist Of large amounts Of
bone and phosphates from which the
plant may derive phospboric acid, potash,

Celery as a Cure for Rheumatisnr

New OIsc0veTles-Or what claim 10 be
discoveries-of the healing virtues q
plants are continually making. One OF
the latest is that celery IS cure for
rheumatism; indeed it is asserted that
the disease is impossible if the vegetable
be cooked and freely eaten. The fact
that it is slmost always put on the table
raw prevents its therapeutic powers rom
becoming known. The celery should be
cut in 20 bits, boiled IN water until sO.t,
end the water drank by the patient.
Put new milk, with 8 little -four and
nutmeg. into a saucepan with the boiled
celery, serve il warm with pieces of
toast, eat with potatoes and the painful
ailment viii soon yield. Such is the
declaration Of a physician who has again
and again tried the experiment, and
with uniform success. He adds thst
cold or damp never produces, but simply
develops, the disease, of which acid blood
is the primary and sustaining cause, and
that while the hood is alkaline there can
be neither rheumatism nor govt. Eng
lish statistics show that in one yesr( 1879
three thousand six hundred and forty
persons died Of rheumatism, aud every
case, it is C aimed, might have been
cured or prevented by the adoption of
the remedy mentioned. At least twoN
thirds Of the cases named heart disease
are sscribed to rheu mstism and its sns
tagonizing ally, govt. SMALLPOX, so
much dreaded, is not halt so destructive
as rheumatism, which, it is msintsined
by many physicians, can be prevented
by obeying natures laws in diet. But
ii you have incurred it, boiled celery is
pronounced INTERESTINGLY to be a spe-

drew large and thoroughly we'll satisfied

said in praise of the ability displayed by our
local talent in their different roles. The rem
dition of the different parts elected warm ap-
piause and many commendatory remarks were
spoken by numbers of the audience. The
Washington county light guards displayed
their thorough drill to advantage, executing
military maneayres with precision and correct
ness. The scenery, beautiful costumes and
tab!eaus are we'll wo, tn the price of admission,
and it is hoped that the opera will receive a
liberal patronage during the ensuing evenings,
as Mr.. Mcknight has been to a large expense in
presenting it to a saltwater audience. It is
the general opinion the opera is the finest ever
placed on Saltwater stage.

It has been observed that during times of
low water the end of the pontoon strikes against
the piling, and also that an accumulation of
sand has been forming under the Minnesota
end of the pontoon. In order to remedy both
of these evils it has been concluded to erect a
pier at this end of the pontoon, which will pre-
vent the sand washing under the draw, and
also give more room for the pontoon. The
contract for the job was let to Dennis Harrigan
Tuesday, and he commenced work yesterday.
