The Cowan alr-ship Canada, which

hibition thereafter did not differ in any
material aspect from an ordinary
balloon ascension. In fact, somebody
seems to have Numbered seriously, for
the start was not made until after sun
set there was no anchor in the car, and
one Of the most important ropes to an
aero.aut-the collapse" rope broke
when put 70 the test, which accident
finally led almost t. the sutiocation Of
the navigator of the balloon. Balloons

as naturally as drunken men search for
railway tracks; so the Canada went
smashing along through The tops Of
trees, landing at last in time to avoid
storm that appeared to be brewing. The
merits of the Cowan method Of guiding
air-ships are therefore, still to be demon
strated, and meanwhile the world
knows on the general subject only what
it has known for years-that huge bags
Of gas above the surface of the earth

Remarkable Cotton Crops.

We call especial attention of cotton
growers to the article below, taken from the
Atlanta Constitution. Wo hopo some Of
our farmers will experiment on this plan on
q small scale. Much might bo gained,
and nothing could be lost: !.
'Tho newspapers arc calling attention to
tho wonderful success Of Mr. j. j. Crump,
whose farm is noar Aberdeen, Miss. IIo
has adopted new process in cotton plunt-
ing aDd tho remarkable results which have
followed his experiments arc attracting the
notice of planters. In 1877, Mr.. Crump
produced 1910 pounds of ginned cotton to
the uore; 1000 pounds in 1878; and tho
prospects this season point to the heaviest
yield ho has ever obtained. The Aberdeen
Examiner gives tho process. Mr.. Crump
prepares his land in December by digging
boes three feet from each other, and oigh-
teen inches from square aud eighteen
inches deep; these holes no fills with ma
nuro to within four inches Of the top, and
the remainder of tho way with the top soil.
At tho usual timo he p'auts with tho view to
having three stalks to n hill, and piles the
clay from the bottoms of the pits ms deep
over their tops as tho supply will admit Of
with view to keeping down the grass, and
then cultivatcs with hand nnd hoe, never
allowing plow to be used. The prcpara.
tion is made in December in ordcr to subduo
the fiery qualities of the fertilizer, and the
holes when prepared will make at least three
crops without changing their contcnts--thc
second crop generally being the best, aud
tho first and third about tho eamc. This
plan has gono beyond tho sphere of expert
mcnt, and there is nc longer necessity for q
man to scrape over dozen acres when he
can obtain moro cotton aud better cotton
by cultivating two or three by Mr.. Crump's
process.
