the act of raising her head to reprove the intrusion (un-

of her late husbuil; she screamed and fell senseless

THE IMPROVED CULTURE OF COTTON!
I propose devoting this papei to "the details of the
modus operandi by which aiy experiments have been
conducted together with the character ofthe soil &c."
Previous to going into the detail of its practical
application permit me to call attention to two obvi-
ous facts. In the first place I remark that under the
system of the country the maximum production of j
cotton at a ruinous cost has equalled th-it of its con-
sumption. 1 remark again upon the disproportion-
ately large amount of inferior and poor cotton thus
produced.
To meet both these difficulties constitutes but a
pa t of the advantages which this improvement offers
lo the cotton planting interests of the country. It
proposes to meet and obviate the former difficulty by
producing as previously stated the present and ne-
cessary amount ol cotton with but one third the capi-
tal now engaged in its production; furnishing thereby
to the planter adircctand nctt profit of orer 100 per
cent upon the present market price. Again by sub-
jecting the cotton plant to this system of improve-
ment which favors its natural arborescent growth
and the more perfect development of its staple the
latter difficulty is obviated.
This improvement when it shall have attained its
highest state of perfection contemplates the "system
of rotation" in planting under which the land design-
ed for cotton lies the previous year in the state offal-
low which is found by experience most favorable to
the growth and fruitfulness of the plant. I com-
mence the preparatory operations for planting about
the 1st of March by spreading upon the land broad-
cast two or three hundred bushels of manure per acre
light stock yard and stable compost I then run off
the land in rows ol three feet with a scooter plough
opening a good furrow some three or four inches
deep; this done I take a large size shovel plough
and cioss the scooter furrows by rows running at
right angles of five feet wide. I am now prepared to
commence manuring in the hill Living first ascer-
tained that I have 2940 hills on each acre which
will require by giving each hill a half gallon of
manure same kind of compost 184 bushels nearly
which I haul on the land in a cart first graduated to
a certain number of bushels and with spades like-
wise prepared for the purposp I deposit the requisite
.quantity of manure in each hill. By this means which
" in practice .will be found simple and expeditious
enough I give four to five hundred bushels of manure
jtojeach acre an infnlliblo insurance for 5000 lbs. of
ymsuperior staple per acre. As the manure is placed
2- mtheliill by rows the wide way a short distance in
. advance a good plough hand follows" with a turn
TVplpugh which should run into the soil from six to
" T-IjSShnnches deep at least and turn well with whieh
-2teraffur furrows are thrown together on each row: thus
"fix1n'g the half gallon of manure in each hill entirely
-pfyivithin the. region of constant moisture. This gives
me aiinclarge bed and well broke to lie nntil at or
SaVSuf the' frot of April when the cotton seed should
J!pUnll. This is done br first opening the bed at
shallow as possible with some instrument such as
that described by M. W. Philips Esq in the March
No ofthe 9th vol. of the Cultivator: it should not be
opened out deeper than ane inch. The bed thus
opened: and the sced'rolled in lenchtd ashes or sand
Vvhich answer Tery well though I prefer a compound
oi i-.vo pans oi asnes to one ol common salt made
moist with water; the seed well rolled in this are
then carefully dropped over the manure. Eijjht to
ten seed in a place will answer to secure a stand.
J nerc will be no difficulty in dropping the seed over
tne manure in the lull when U is recollected and ob-
served that upon the unbroken space ol some tivo
feet between each row the scooter furrows will be
found ah unerring guide to the manure in the bed at
distances of three feet. The seed thus dropped I prc-
tcrto have covered with a hoe lightly and carefully
bearing in mind this golden truth that "a crop vel
planted is half made." Immediately nfter planting
the middles or unbroken balks should ae ploughed out.
The crops of cotton thus plained which should not
exceed three to four acres to the hand may be per-
formed in good time and well done. In a few days
say nine to twelve the cotton will be up presenting
a most healthy aiid thrifty appratance. The next
operation to be performed as early as possibly con-
venient is to plough out the middles well the wide
way. with a good shovel plough having first run
aiound the young plant with a scooter plough. The
hoc hands follow and thin the cotton down to two
stalks giving it a small quantity of soil. This ope-
ration wtll done the plant is at once placed beyond
all danger since its top root will now have taken such
a hold upon the manure below as to enable the plant
to outstrip either grass oj weeds hating yet lo spring
up.
Under this treatment the time consuming and worse
than useless operation of bar shearing scraping and
chopping out are saved as much to the benefit nf the
tender plant as to the interest and economy of the
planter in despatching the hurrv and push at this
stage ofthe crop; and at the conclusion of this first
working I have my cotton growing ofl" and doing
well. I have now no further use for a plough in its
subsequent culture but use the sweep a kind of horse
hoe I call it a sweep in the absence of a more appro-
priate name.
This instrument is easily made by any blacksmith
by laying tho wings upon tho point of a scooter in
the form of an isosceles triangle which is fastened
upon the chip of a shovel plouqh stock by a heel
pin in the same manner you would a shovel. From
the tip of the wing should be 2 feet forming a kind
of horseshoe by which a row ia swept out at three
furrows. This should be so curved and graduated
upon the stock as not to go into the soil deeper than 1
inch and as much less as possible to enable it to cut
the young grass and weeds that may be springing
up. The great and singular advantages ofthe sweep
overall instruments of the plough harrow or hoe
kind that I have ever used are these that it will kill
a greater quantity oi graas ana weeus in a given
time and do less injury to the surface roots of
plant so essen'-tapo its progressive prosperity
hoe nanus iotiowinr mis instrument nun tne c
I will now close this number by a very few re
marks upon the character and quality of the soil upon
which my experiments hnve been conducted. It is
high ridge land readily recognized and its quality dis
tinctly understood in ourbouthern country under the
name ol '-lorked-leat black-jack pine barren a
deep porous sandy superstratum lying under a tol-
erbly good cray at a distance of 2 to 3 feet below the
surface. A true picture and naturally poor enough.
This land under the treatment above detailed grew
my cotton from which I have gathered a greater
number of pounds per acre (indeed almost double)
than I have ever seen recorded is in its natural state
inferior to the average quality of cotton land by at
least one half. 1 might refer yon if necessary to
more than one nurtured gentlemen planters Irom
Georgia and Alabama who have examined my ex-
periments carefully and several of them at various
stages ol its growth and with one general consent
pronounced it a fair test and a great improvement. I
have.from several stocks that grew on the three acres
in the proper places taken three anda half to fourlbs.
of cotton carefully weighed. In the perfection of this
improvement yet in a state of great crudrness when
every stalk upon the acre (2940) shall mature equal
ly well what may l reasonably calculate to gather?

may be found necessary again to chopabotit in places
with the hoe when the cotton may not have locked
sr early inis snouia oe invariably attended to.
This brings us again to the season of harvesting the
staple.
Let no planter prejudge and reject this system
upon the score of simplicity supposing the pro
cess too simple to accomplish thu object proposed;
first act wisely make the experiment and try it.
Strictly follow this plain and simple process and if
the land docs not reward your painstaking with five
or six fold the quantity per acre of a superior staple
than has at any previous season been taken from it in
its natural state 1 will present the experimentor with
one bushel of my improved seed with which to por
ted the experiment. At another tune 1 propose devo-
ting a paragraph to the importance of selecting and
improving cotton seed.
It will be observed that manuring constitutes a
large item in this system of improvement a source of
revenue too much underrated by planters. But
I hear some planters say "it is impossible to pro-
duce so much manure" this is however the re-
sult of inexperience and the want of determination.
I am entirely convinced from my experience in ma-
king manure that it is not only practicable but a per-
fectly easy task to prepare upon every plantation in
the cotton region great or small 1500 bushels of an
excellent article of compost per annum to the hand
at a cost less than two cents per bushel by the assis-
tance of the slock of horses cows and hogs upon pro-
perly arranged lots. This is done by having the lots
well littered by throwing in pine straw in large
quantities and frequently or oak leaves where the
pine straw is not to be had with cotton and cornstalks
&c and occasionally haul and scatter upon the litter
a few loads of muck or marl one or both of which
may be found on or near every farm in the country;
upon these lots pen and feed your stock every night.
Ti.e manure thus prepared should be collected in
pen or pills three or four times during the year after
heavy falls of rain and the lots replenished with pine
straw &c; by this means a very large amount of ma-
nure is collected during the season and that too at an
impteciable cost Again we have another difficulty
there are but few persons who believe that pine straw
can be converted into manure for the benefit and in
formation of such who may read this permit'me to
quote a sentence from Liebeg's work on agricultural
chemistry. "The bark and foliage of oak? contains
from 6 to9 per cent of potash. The needles of firs
and pines 8 percent" But it is not on account ofthe
potash exclusively that I prefer a pine straw to all
other vegetable matter in the preparation manure;
since it possesses another invaluable quality above all
others in absorbing the juices ofthe manure which
are thus saved from evaporation and fadily applied
to the land. I doubt not but a single year's experi-
ence will convince every intelligent planter of the in-
numerable advantages of this improvementand its per-
fect adaption to tho ctili'ire ofcotton and'other crops.

PROSPECTUS
or THE
WEEKLY PICAYUNE.
IN consequence of the popularity which our !aily paper has
gained hi all sections of the country.and the numerousde-
mauds we are receitingfrom all quarters-for a weekly journal
we hate determined on starting one of that description to be
entitled "The Weekly Picayune."
To adopt the same figurative style used in our first pro-
spectus we have lilted out the "Pic'aymie" for more distant
voyages and freighted her with all sorts of notions in the
shape vf TtadalUs; and if the same success attci.d her which
she has met with while coasting nearer home wc shall
doubtless receire rich returns.
To prepare our little crali for the more extended sea on
which she is destined to move we have put upon her many
additions and improvements. Some of her ol I timbers have
been taken out and replaced by new she has a greater mea-
surement fore and all a greater length of beam and her
"sheets" hate been materially enlarged.
rtrluiihslandiug the increased size the public may rest
assured Ihat the "Picajune" will be enabled to woik in
"shoal water" with the same facility as hert'.ofore.and form
channels ol communication which it would be loii'7frn.e
dull heany resscls at present sailing from this port to navi-
gate. Commission merchants and others hating freight in the
shape of advertisements to send lo the country trade would
do well lo shipthem on board our clipper as she is for etcry
city in the United States and all intermediate landings.
Wc reiterate to those fmaiical pirates who cruise under the
"black flag" who oppose slavery bteause they are them-
selves the slates of ignorance and superstition who pretend
to rub clean the upper decks of their neighbors with a '-holly"
stone we say lookout for breakers.
To Hotel keepers we recommend our paper; in even" en
gagement her commander will be first to lead on the boaidcrs.
To the Heads of Families the trim appearance of our craft
will be an object of interest. Most mat ried folks have ex-
perienced the erTccls of "light-sparring."
We shall endeatorto make those smugglers the Bachelors
heave to show them the advantages ol the proper "com-
panion way" recommending a double sta'e room with
"birth-; &c.
We shall send our boat aboard Theatricals and other
amusements thoc pretty pleasure boats which make our
passage over the lake ol life so delightful. Dancing will be
especially encouraged as we conceive that the safety ef a
vessel aepenas upon Keeping Dutn pumps going."
On first launching the 'Picavune' we promised to carrr a
'pressof sail' in case we were warranted by a sale from the
press. I hrough all the storms which have raged since she
first sailed she has borne up under full sales without ever
being taken aback and is now ranked A I at all insurance
and other offices of .he city. Our policy still holds good and
we never intend it shall run out.
Dropping our figure and returning to plain language we
will no a- add that wc intend to make the Picayune a vehicle
of fun wit humor and sentiment and a little of every thing
that's going on. It shall be our delight to crack jokes' ta tell
stories in our own nay to ridicule folly and lo correct the
manners of the age by eicitiug laughter against them. In
this however we shall endeavor to avoid that licen'iousness
which vainly seeks tobenefit the public by wounding the feel-
ings of individuals.
A portion of our paper will be occupied with comprehen-
sive notices of all passing even's having the pith ot the news
ofthe day without burdensome details.
We eschew partizan politics yet we shall continue te ex-
press our opinions impartially on all public measures- Follies
in government as well as in social life are open to ridicule;
and when the humor seizes us we shall not spare them n
whichever party the censure may fall.
All local occurrences of geneial Interest shall be promp'ly
noucea so inai oui uisiani rcaaers may see at a glance me
miniature world which is congregated in this emporium.
The "Weekly Picayune" will be published exery Monday
ninrning; at $5 per annum payable in all cases in advance;
and will contain four additional columns embracing all the
news ofthe week with whatever of interest transpires on
Mimtay.

This valuable work has steadily improved since its com-
mencement. No periodical in Ihe country can be so badly
dispensed wi-h. It t:kes the lead of all of them. The arti
cles are not only ?m cenent and especially adapted to the ma-
gazine bnt they are from the pens of men of talent snd abi-
lity who have studied the mercantile law and are capable ol

rVe have received the periodicals for the present month
September 1841.) In the first place comes Hum's Magazine
which we deem the most important of the whole. It always
contains a mass of facts invaluable to the merchant and by
the perusal ofwhich almost any one in any condition of life
may be benefitted and amused. We see by the English papers
that this magazine is becoming well known abroad and ob-
tains very favorable notices from the English press. This jy
as it shonld be it is certainly a very valuable periodical and
we hope it will obtains most extensive circulation in this
country. Boston Pott.
This is decidedly one of the meat valuable periodicals c
the present age and the vast fund of information which it af-
fords at comparatively so small an outlay places it w iibin the
reach of every individual of moderate means which is by nt
waysihe least recommend:tion in this eminently commercial
country. In short as we have frequently repeated this work
oucht to be in the hands of every man engaged in commerce;
Ihecleik and the merchant will find it equally to iheiradvan- g
tage to patronize a periodical so ably eonducted and devoted f
to their especial interests. N. O. Bet.
