To Kill Cotton Seed

RIDGEwAY. N. c.
Capt. r. A. s., Raleigh,
DEAR SIR:-We enjoy your %invalua-
BILE paper exceedingly. Wouldn't be
without it for five times the money.
Please inform me how | can best kill
several hundred bushels of cotton seed,
cheapest and quickest, and save the
ammonia for fertilizing cotton. And
you will greatly oblige,
Yours truly, j. w.
Our correspondent wishes not only to
kill the seed, 4. e., destroy it's ger
minating vitality, but also to prepare it
for immediate transfer to the land, as
food for the young plants.
One of the most efectual processes for
deadening the seed is as follows
Scrape a level piece Of ground for a
heap the size you desire. Put down a
layer OF seed, 10 inches thick then "a
layer OF earth, or scrapings of mould
three inches thick, and SO on in alter
nate layers, sprinkling each layer until
quite damp. 4 free use of plaster with
each layer will greatly aid in absorbing
the ammonia. and quickening the pro-
cess. If the whole heap be then coated
with plaster an inch or two thick, it
will be better. The heap should be
well patted, and rounded with the fat
side of a shovel. Four or five days will
generally produce sufficient heat and
to kill the seed germs.

Our L allrOadS.

The stock question on our railroads
has assumed great magnitude. Every
road we have is a convenience and mat
ter of gener al profit. Not one of our
great lines could be dispensed with
without great injury, and many more
are need for public convenience but
railroads kill stock running loose about
the track. If stock is allowed free ac-
cess to railroad tracks, accidents are I'M
avoidable. Self preservation is the
strongest law governing care on the part
OF the railroad management. To run
over a COW not worth ten dollars, may
cost the engineer his life, and the COM
pany fifty thousand dollars. An ex-
pertinent implying 81 much risk will
not often be made for the sport of it.
On the other hand those allowing their
stock free access to railroads endanger
not only the property Of the company
but the lives of all who travel on these
roads. To place a block of wood on a
railroad is held as a highly criminal Of
Tense; to allow a lot of cattle, sheep
or hogs to place themselves there. or
to place them there, as has been done,
to secure the damages, is no better. |!
But the best care on the part of the
railroad cannot always secure from acct
dent, SO the best care on the part of
residents along the line cannot ALWAYS
prevent their stock from being ON the
track, endangering property on both
sides, and human life on the Railroads.
Railroads, like stockraising, are built
and run on principles of profit. That
running through a farm or town lot NAV
De a serious damage, no one can doubt.
put IL cannot be to an amount greater
than the whole value of the property
before the road was built. 1t is pre-
clsely the difference between what the
property could have been sold for before
and after the road wa built. Where
reasonable care to keep stock awav from
any railroad has been exercised. and vet
1t Is killed, it is held that damages are

Just what 1t will cost the owner to re-
place the stock, if he desires to do So

ject to this basis of settlement if tbav
could be assured of the facts. If they

Generally speaking, the United States
has, by far, the advantage over all OF
these in the natural adaptability of its
! soil, climate, &c., &c, to agricultural
| operations, all of which goes to render
this remarkable disproportion still
greater.
Whilst it is highly gratifying to every
patriotic farmer to know that a depart
ment supervising SO great a component
of our national prosperity and greatness
has been, comparatively speaking, so IN
expensive, still it cannot at the same
time but be a source of surprise, morti-
%fication and regret that SO nlggard a dis
position has been the characteristic of
the government towards her only hope.
fla different disposition had, from
the beginning, been uniformly display
ed who can estimate what would have
been the result here in a country which
has done so much in this direction with
5 20 little encouragement lin the coun-
els of the nation? 1t is certainly safe
to assume at least that much of the
~grievOus depression now weighing SO
heavily upon every class throughout the
world would have been prevented.
The burden OF taxation, also has been
partitioned with a distinction invidious
to the agricultural population. The
aggregate tariffs levied upon them X
coed A. per cent. of the cost of their
necessaries of life while the great
bulk of the internal emu duties are
paid i'm by the same. During 1877,
Virginia alone, for example, paid an
internal revenue tax on tobacco of nearly
eight millions of collars, or more than
twice as much as all the New England
manufacturing States together paid.
Notwithstanding these individuals dis
t%inctiOns, it cannot be for a moment
doubted or denied that American agri-
culture has entrusted to it's keeping one
of the grandest missions on earth-that
of providing for not only its own rapidly
.augmenting numbers, but for that great
superfuous population now tasking in
Its helpless penury every government OF
ofEurope. L. w. II.
