THOUGHTS FOR THE IOSTH.
COTTON PLANTING.
dependent upon the "stand" secured.
Again, success often depends upon gett
ing a stand at a particular time. A
difference of a few days or a week, in
time of planting, often makes a won
derful difference of results; especially
is this true in the case of cotton, and as
this crop will be planted during the
present month, we venture a few sug
gestions as to the time and mode of
planting, for the benefit of young farm
ers more especially. First-time for
planting cotton. The earlier the better.
Plant just as soon as the danger of frost
is over. Our observation is that taking
the average of seasons, early planted
cotton fruits better than late planted.
A certain degree of maturity (which
age alone can give) is a condition pre
cedent to fruiting. A stalk must be
formed before the fruit can be. At first
the forces of the plant are all directed
to making weed; afterwards these are
diverted into fruit making channels.
But nature will have its course, and
time must be given for the first to comn
plete its work ere, the titlde turns.
Certain peculiarities of our climate
must also be considered in this connec
tion; drought rarely fails to occur in
July or August. The result is a sus
pension of vegetable activity-growth
and fruiting are both arrested. Previ
ous to this, the conditions for making
fruit are generally favorable. With an
early start, therefore, a good "bottom"
crop is almost certain-much more so
than either a "middle" or "top" crop.
As young plants are not so much affect
ed by drought as old ones, a very late
planted crop may sometimes pass un
checked through a drought and make
a good late crop, but the chances are
inferior to thoseof an early planted one.
MIODE 0O1 PLANTING.
Two dangers to be avoided, lack of
sufficient moisture to make the seed
germinate and formation of a crust
which may prevent the young plant
from getting above the surface. April
is often very dry, and unless the seed
are planted immediately after a shower
they frequently fail to come up well.
The old plan of opening a furrow with
plough, sowing seed and listing on
them with two furrows and afterwards
knocking off the top of list with a board,
just as tile seed are ready to come up, r
is one of the surest methods of securing
a stand in dry weather. The objection
to it is the large amount of time and c
labor involved. As formerly practised
it required four hands and three mules c
to each row. One to open furrow, one
to drop the seed and two to cover. 1w c
can afford to adopt such an expensive
process. The "Cotton Planter" which p
opens the furrow, drops the seed and
covers them, makes one hand and one t
mule do the work of four hands and
three mules under the old plan de- i
scribed above. But while thus saving t
labor, it does not insure against
drought. To remedy this defect we
made the suggestion in a former num
ber, and we repeat it here, to cut off the
top of the bed with a drag or smoother £
just in advance of the "Planter" so as
to have a moist, fresh surface in which }
to plant. Seed will rarely fail to comenic
up if thus planted, and the increase of a
labor required will be quite small. A
smoother five feet wide will dress off t
two beds at a time, and not weighted,
can be drawn by one horse. The
whole labor, therefore, under this plan
would be one hand and a half and one
horse and a half to each row.s,
A suggestion in this connection was
made by a correspondent last year r
which struck us so favorably that we 1
beg to repeat it here. It is, where the I
top of the bed is not cut off, to place at
board behind the plough hoe, that is t
between the plough hoe and the helve,
having the point of the former project ,
just enough beyond the board to open t
a furrow of desired depth. This ar
rangement not only secures uniformity
and guago of depth (very important
matters), but trees the top of the bed }
from clods and removes the crust if one f
has formed. It also throws on each
side the dry top earth and leaves fresh
moist earth with which to cover the
seed.
ROLIING TIIE S'EEII.
For reasons (liscussed above, it is
highly desirable that cotton shoull
come tip quickly after being ilanteid- o
otherwise the groundl might dry off too
soon for it to appecar above the surface
until it rains again. Wetting the seed I
and keeping them in moderate bulk
for a day and then rolling them, facili
tates greatly their germination. Itoll
ing is so easily donle with the i barrel
roller," descried in former volumes of I
the Cultivator, that no one need be
deterred from doing it by the labor re- ,
quired. In addition to making the
seed colme up before the ground ean diry
off, rolling conomises the seed and in- i
sures regularity of distribution. The
addition of some fertilizer, while the'
rolling is being done, is also of great
value in givingan impetus to thie young
plant. Peruvian guano is thi' best for
this p'rl"se. It may be m .ixe with
some pIlaster-Mfly two of guninio to onle
of plaster, and just iLs ImiIch luse(d l will
adhere to the seed. 'rhe addition orf
superphosplhate wi uldl be dlesirahle,
were it not foir the (lang.erof killing the
seedl thereby. Quite snmall quantities
of an acidl phos)phato in contact with
cotton seed will entirely destroy their
germinating power. lear that in mind.
Pure Peruvian guano used in rolling
will not kill cotton seed, but super
phosphates will.
Cotton planting being finished, and
corn hardly ready for its first working,
time will be afforded to look after the
"side" crops, such as sweet potatoes,
drilled corn, millet, &c.
POTATOES.
We value this crop very highly
considering it, for stock purposes at the
South, superior to turnips, beets, &c.,
being more easily raised and more
nutritious than they. Let the English
man raise his turnips: his climate suits
that plant, ours does not near so well,
but- does suit admirably the potato,
which is capital food for sheep, hogs
and cows. Land intended for this crop
should be bedded up and gotten ready
to receive the "slips" as soon as they
appear. We always try to put out
some thie first week in May if possible.
Generally speaking, the sooner they
are put out the larger roots they will
make. Selecting a suitable time, drop
the slips along the beds at proper in
tervals, and with a blunt stick placed
on and near the root end of slip, push
it down in the earth and with another
thrust of the stick push dirt into the
hole left when the stick is withdrawn.
This is a very rapid mothod and quite
as successful as the usual one of stoop
ing down rand planting with the hands.
l)RIILLED) ('ORiN.
The value of this as a forage crop is
beginning to be appreciated among our
people. The amount raised to an acre I
is alnorst fabulous ; we hear of eight or c
ten tons after it is thoroughly dried. To
succeed, the ground must be very rich,
anti must have been ploughed several
titnes and that deeply, so as to bring it
into the best possible condition. Plant
in drills three feet apart and sow three
bushels of seed per acre. WVhen up,
plough it aus you would other crops.
The latter part of April is a good time
to sow it.
MI LLI:'r. t
Millet stands drought and neglect t
better than corn, but like it, requires
rich soils to produce best results. Sow I
in drills the same dlistance apart ascorn
-a half a bushel to one bushel of seed
per acre will be ample. Thelneat tail"
is one of the best varieties.
(ROUND PEAR.
A patch of these pays landsonmoly to I
one who raises his own pork. Plant on t
a level or on very flat beds, so that they
may be easily earthed up with the 1
plough-rows three and a half feet
apart, hills two feet apart in drill. They t
come up quicker when shelled but may
be planted without. Drop two pods in
each hill. A variety largely cultivated
in Tennessee, which lhas three seeds in
each pod, is best for field culture, being
more upright and less spreading in its
growth, and therefore admits of hilling
up with the plough much better than
tile common variety. If the pods are
planted without shelling, the sooner it
is done now the better.--,h' thcrn (C'l

FUBLIC MEETINiG IN CADDO PARISH.
We got the following from the Shreve
port Times:
In pursuance of public notice there
was a meeting of citizens at the Board
of Trade Room last evening-not large,
but composed mainly of men who feel
an earnest interest in the political con
dition of the State.
- Major Moncure and IMr. Leonard
made a few forcible remarks, showing
not only the advisability but the prac
ticabilityof refusing to pay taxes to the
Kellogg government, after which the
following preamble and resolutions
were submitted and adopted:
ll'hereas, A usurpation exists in the
State of Louisiana, which sprang from
and is solely maintained by illegal and
utterly unwarranted exercise of Federal
authority, and
IWhereas, The people of Louisiana can
neither submit to nor acquiesce in that
usurpation; therefore,
Resolced, That we solemnly protest
•against the usurping government forced
oli us at the point of the bayonet.
1R.solved, That we will resist by all
nmeans in our power the authority of
the so-called Kellogg government and
will yield obedience to it only when
compelled so to do by the military
force of the Federal government. 1
Resol'ed, That we will not pay any
taxes whatever to the Kellogg govern
cuent.
Resolhcd, 'That at committee of- be
appointed to obtain the nanmes of all t
citizens of this city and parish whose
opinions are expressed by these resolu
tions.
The meeting then adjourned to 11
o'clock A. 9t., Saturday, the 29th inst.,
at JIrewer's Hall, at which time a per
nmanent tax-resisting:Lssociatlion will be
organized.

The following resolutions were then
introduced and adopted by those gen- 0
tlemen undersigning each : t
Resolved, That the undersigned mem

Hall has left this woman, he has been
married again to a very respectable

for fear she would not be taken care of,

and they had some hard words, and
she was quite abusive. The rest has

THE LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS--NO COM
PROIS.E,
A full meeting of the members of tie
People's Legislature present in the city,
was had last evening. Several influen
tial members from the country parishes
were present, as well as Gen. McMil
lon, United States Senator elect. After
some discussion on the perfecting of
means of resistance to the Kellogg tax
gatherers and other bogus croppings out
of his pretended authority, the question
of the so-called attempts at compromise
were canvassed. It appeared to be well
understood that the shallow scheme of
Kellogg to seduce individual country
members of the legal Legislature by
promises of local patronage, had broken
down disastrously in two ways. The
people In most instances repudiated
the disgraceful bargain and sale of their
delegated honor and rights, where it
was really sustained by Kellogg, andt
the latter in many instances falls to
inake his promises good. The second
result is, that thoe dlided negroes, find
ing themselves deprived of their antic
ipated share In the spl)ils of recent
political swindles, are loud and deep nl
their denunciations and threats against
the faithllss afihlavit Governor.
The mieeting was unanimous in its
determination to resist unitedly every
attempt to obtain an acquicacence in
the gross fraud and outrage of the pre
tenders, anrd seemed doterminerl that
the force of the United State" Govern

on the necessity of united and persis

Congress, in which event there was
every reason to exlmet substantial re
