THE NEW FIVE CENT PIECE.

The new five-cent pieces now in circu-
lation are very pretty coin. They
were designed by Mr.. Snowden of the
Philadelphia Mint, and receive much
praise for their artistic design and finish.
Fault is found with them at the Treas.
ury Department by the Secret Service
Division, on the ground that there is
nothing to indicate that it is five. cent
coin except its color. When new they
look like silver On one side is the
head of the Goddess of Liberty, and on
the reverse is the letter v. All that is
necessary to make 1t lool, to careless
observers like SO gold piece, is to have
it gold plated. In size, weight and ap-
pearance they would then deceive many
people. The word cents 1oes not appear
anywhere, and Il any one objected TO
taking q plated one tor $5 gold piece,
he would be informed that it was new
design. The Secret Service men expect
much tronble from this form of swindle,
until the public is generally posted and
on its guard. d.-Ex.

LARGEST YIELD OF COTTON
EVER GATHERED FROM ONE
ACRE.
Southern Cnltivator.

By request we have gone through the
files of The Cultivator and republlsh for
the benefit of our readers particulars OF
the experience os Mr.. Wartben IN making
five bales Of cotton on one acre. This
large yield was obtained in Washington
County, Ga, In the year 1874.
The lot was planted with view TO a
premium offered by the Georgia State
Agriculture Society. II embraced one
and one fourth acres, and the yield Of
seed cotton was 6,87l pounds, Of lint,
1882 pounds.
The land, according TO the journal
referred to, had been planted continuous
ly in cotton from the close of the war to
date of experiment (1873). The soil was
sandy, with clay subsoil, in cultivation
sixty or more years. about half of it an
old duDg-hill, the other half very poor.
The manure applied was 1,400 pounds
Of Peruvian phosL hate 60, OK cart loads
Of raw pine straw from the woods, go
bushels green cotton seed and 400 bush
els well rotted stable manure-the last
three hauled ont in January and strewn
broadcast and turned under with a two
horse plough running eight inches deep.
followed by sixteen.inch scooter in
same furrow, breaking In all from thir-
teen to fifteen inches deep.
Put the guano in the furrow behind
the scooter, which was therefore covered
by the next fnrrow. In February re-
peated the breaking in same manner,
bu. not applying any manure.
10 March repeated ploughing in the
same manner, crossing the last plough
ing each time. In April narrowed land
twice. On 18th Of May checked land
three feet each way with small bullion.
que and dropped six or eight seed in
each check and covered with foot; varie.
ty, Dickson's cluster cotton. 1t was
thinned to one stalk to the hill in June
two to the hill being left in the outside
rows. Then ploughed very shallow, just
enough TO kill weeds, with twenty-five
inch Dickson sweep, one furrow to the
row. Did not use the hoe; had no need
for it, the cotton growing so rapidly af
to prevent all underground.
