Bedding for Cotton.

The practice of bedding the land for cotton, is one that gener- ally prevails in the Southern
 States. It is by all means the best practice for sloping land, which is liable to wash under the frequent heavy rains which occur in the south. But it is question:. hle if it is not better to blow the land level aud mark it out two ways crossing the rows, upon lev el e.ound where washing is not feared, she larger share of the work in the cotton field is caused by the prevalence of weeds, and weeds are abundant where stable manure or manure from COW pens
 is used, as the litter and fodder fed out is commonly very weedy. Crab-grass is the bane of the cot ton planter, and it in many cases overuns the rows in spite of all oi his labor. This weed calls for the cleanest culture and double rows; check row planting, with the use of good cultivator, would tend greatly to keep down the Grab
 grass. Cotton requires high ma nuring, and as it's roots do not go deep nor spread wide, hill manur- ing is advisable for it. It takes as much from the soil as a corn crop. A bale to acre is equal to twenty five bushels, or one thou. sand five hundred pounds of seed, which contains more potash, phos- phUic acid, and nitrogen, than the same quantity of corn The lint Is not worth counting in this respect as it if wholly carbon. The planter who desires a bale of cotton to the acre, and this he ought to aim al
 must manure his land well; saving all the excrements from his pOal. try. aud other stock, and as wei that from the household closet
 Moreover, the planter should as much as possible, grow green crops to blow under, and with these crops level cultivation is preferable to rid.ing, at least where the ground is level. But it is a good time, just at the present, for the cotton plant. CT to consider how much better ii will be for him to prepare half his usual area tor his crop and use all ihe manure upon the, audso le or thribble the yield and c0ntine all his labor to this lesSened area and keep it perfectly free fros. weeds. Tho improvement will be satisfactory in every respect.-Ex.

 So many farmers think because they have plenty on hand there is no necessity for saving, and there fore they feed it with lavish waste. The northern farmers coming here are frequently heard to say they could keep their stock on our waste. The charge justified is by observation and experience. The best way to avoid that charge is for tue farmer 10 attend to his stock at feeding time, and see that hey have no more given them than they can readily eat up clean
 Go into the stalls of the average farne and il will be seen that hay is littere knee-deep on the floor, trod on and detiled so stock will uot touch 1t.

 The book. was opened. The man ran his finger along the line to stop, rubbed his eyes, held up the book little, and finally said:

that it was necessary to lock him up.
1t was two days before it was safe to-
leave him alone. He said he had been
drinker but short time, but his
associates were such that it was one in
cessant round of dissipation with him.
His parents had tried every way to lead
him to sobriety and he had struggled
hard, but in vain, to please them and
redeem himself. They had placed him
under Sister Baptista's care, and he
was glad of it, for he believed that if
he was once thoroughly sobered up he
would not fall again. At present he
is filling a responsible position in his
fathers establishment.
''In striking contrast with his case is
that of an old man over 60 years of
age, who has retired from business
with some $4,000 who has for years
been regular patient of Sister
Baptista. The whisky habit is chronic
with him, but as he has no immediate
relatives or friends to nurse or care

he is received whenever he applies,

A Novel Settlement.

A City of Mexico correspondent
writes: Up in the mountains, about
twenty leagues from this capital, there
is a pueblo or community of pure
Indians, which is governed by six wise
old men and six venerable women, who
form sort of patriarchal council, to
which all the disputes or differences
occurring in the village are submitted
for arbitration. In order to attain pa
triarchal dignity, man must, during
his youth and middle age have been
honest, laborious, and truthful. The
matriarch must have brought up fam
lily of children properly, and never
been given to lying, stealing or gossip
ing.
In this pueblo each Saturday is set
apart for labors of love and charity.
All the able-bodied men and women
leave their own land or usual occupa-
tions and till the grounds of the wild
ows and young orphans. or else work
for the benefit of the old, sick, blind,
and helpless. Sometimes, when there
is large family of boys and the par
ents can not give each land .'whereon
to raise his food" some energetic
youth, who has heard of the great
world called Mexico City," desires to
90 there to earn his bread and prehaps
that, too, of some dusky maiden whom
he designs or hopes to we'd The fact
that he does not know phrase of
Spanish rarely detcrs him; moreover,
there are few learned men in Mexico
City who understand the Ottomie Ian
guage.
When the family OF a young Indian
has consented to the proposed exodus
the patriarchs and the matriarchs
hold solemn council" ways and
means are discussed. and then the
would-be emigrant is earnestly admon-
| ished: ''Be brave, honest, truthful, and
industrious, and never disgrace your
pueblo by any act unworthy an Otto
mie."
The lads departure is serious af-
fair The entire community accompa-
| ny him to certain boundary line and
the venerable fathers and mothers
bestow their benediction upon him.
In the course of time, or whenever the
exile has a chance to send message
to his native land, the venerable
fathers and mothers are as tenderly
remembered as his own ''blocd kin. -
