TO COTTON RAISERS.

An experienced Texas farmer,
writing prize essay on the cultiYa>
ton of cotton, has this to say:
When the time comes to plant,
from the 10th of March TO the 18th
of April. which varies with the dif-
ferent latitudes, situations and varic-
ties Of soil, harrow or sweep should
be run on top of the beds or ridges to
kill all young weeds that have
sprouted, but are not perhaps
through the soil. Iperfer to run a
broad sweep, an inch and a half
deep, on the top of the beds, and
follow with the planter in the center
Of the track made by the sweep.
This insures a clean stand of cotton
when 1t comes up, as the sweep kills
the young weeds, and the cotton
coming up directly after is boss of
the situation. The big boiled vcrie-
ties of cotton are the best for the
average farmer, 1t is also the wis
est plan to plant enough seed to in>
sure perfect stand. AS soon as the
cotton is well out IN four leaves it
pays to thin 1t. When this is done
1t grows steadily and soon makes a
strong, stocky plant, and does not
spindle as cotton that is left too
long without thinning often does.
| like to leave the plants from six
teen to eighteen inches apart III the
row. Directly after the cotton is
thlnned run around it with the
sweeps dirtlng it up little to pro-
vent Its falling ds#HH;-- HH; -bsat -bs'tt pl6w;ng-
shallow. In ten or twelve days give
it another shallow plowing with the
sweeps to prevent weeds and grass
getting foothold. Now go over it
again with the hoes, cutting out any
bits of grass that may have been
left at the first hoeing. After this
plow itovcr as often as possible, with
or without ram, but especially after
every good rain, remembering to
cultivate shallow and always with
sweeps, so as to not break the roots
and fbres. The ground cannot be
stirred too often, as it prevents evap
Grafton. When the cotton is almost
locked together in the rows it is
good plan to run a broad sweep once
or twice through the middles be-
tween the rows. If the worms put
in an appearance about July or Aug
ust, | think it pays to poison them
with London Purple, using one
pound to the acre, and applying it
in the powder, but it must be done
in time. When the cotton "Opens

An anti-Parnen meeting was held in Queens
town. Ireland. yesterday, and was addressed by
NIessrs. Timothy Healy, Maurice Healy, William
Lane and other members of parliament. The
speakers met with a very hearty reception.
Mr.. Timothy Healy asked where Mr.. Parnelrs
impudent challenge was now. For two days
they had been engaged in hallooing, but had
failed to make the fox break cover. He under
stood that the delay had arisen from Mr.. Par
nelrs going to Brighton to consult lady. Mr..
Parnell had not got permission from this
Brighton banshee.
The priests Of Drogheda denounced from the
altar yesterday morning the Parnell meeting
announced to be held in the town in the after
noon. The result was practical boycott of
the meeting, only imported contingents being
present. Mr.. Parneil did not refer to Mr.
Healy's challenge to him to resign.
Meetings were held in the afternoon in sew
eral places in North Sligo. At all of these places
Mr.. Parnell was denounced from the pulpit in
the morning. There was some rioting at Tire
ragh which was suppressed by the police.
