W. A. ROBERTSON, Greffier. 12'avril \n\n Thoughts for the Month. COTTON-PLANTING. The yield of a crop is very largely de pendent upon the stand secured. Again, success often depends upon getting a stand at a particular time. A différence of a few days or a week, in time of planting, often makes a wonderful 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 suggestions as to time and mode of planting, for the benefit of young farmers more espe cially. First—time for planting cotton. The earlier the better. Plant just as soon as the danger of frost is over. Onr observation is that taking the aver age of seasons early-planted cotton fruit s better than late-planted. A cer tain degree of maturity (which age alone can give) is a condition precedent to fruiting. A stalk must be formed before the fruit can be. At first tlie forces of the plant are all directed to making weed ; afterward these are di verted into fruit-making channels. But nature will have its course, and time must be given for the lirst to com plete its work ere the tide turns. Certain peculiarities of our climate must also be considered in this connec tion—drought rarely fails to occur m July or August. The result is a sus pension of vegetable activity—growth and fruiting are both arrested. Pre vious 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 affec ted 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 in ferior to those of an early-planted one MODE OF PLANTING. Two dangers to be avoided—lack of sufficient moisture to make the seed germinate, and the formation of a crust which may prevent the young plant from getting above the surface. April is often very dry, and unless the seed is planted immediately after a shower it frequently fails to come up well. The old plan of opening a furrow with*a plow, sowing seed and listing 011 them with two furrows, and afterward knock ing off the top of list with a board, just, as the seed is ready to come up, is one of the surest methods of securing a stand in dry weather. The objection to it is the large amount of time and labor involved. As formerlv practiced it required four hands and three mules to each tot —one to open tlie furrow, one to drop the seed and two to cover. Few can afford to adopt such an expen sive process. The "cotton-planter," which opens the furrow, drops the seed and covers it, makes one hand and one mule do the work of four bauds and three mules under the old plan de scribed above. But, while thus saving labor, it does not insure against drought. To remedy this defect we made the suggestion in a former number, and re peat it here, to cut off the top of the bed with a drag or smoother just in ad vance of the " planter," so as to have a moist, fresh surface in which to plant. Seed will rarely fail to come up if thus planted, and the increase of labor re quired will be quite small. A êm ooth er five feet wide will dress off 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. A suggestion in this connection was made by a correspondent last year which struck us so favorably we beg to repeat it here. It is, where the top of the bed is not cut off, to place a board behind the plow-hoe—that is, between the plow-hoe and the helve, having the point of the former project just enough beyond the board to open a furrow of desired depth. This arrangement not only secures uniformity and gauge of depth (very important matters,) but frees the top of the bed from clods and removes the crust, if one lias formed. It also throws on each side the dry top earth, and leaves fresh, moist earth; with which to cover the seed. rolling the seed. For reasons discussed above, it is highly desirable that cotton should come up. quickly after being planted, otherwise the ground might dry off too soon for it to appear above the surface until it rains again. Wetting the seed and keeping it 111 moderate _bulk for a day and then rolling it facilitates great ly its germination. Rolling is so easily done with the " barrel-roller," described in former volumes of the Cultivator, that no one need be deterred from do ing it by the labor required. In addi tion to making the seed come up before the ground can drv off, rolling econo mizes the seed and insures regularity of distribution. The addition of some fertilizer, while the rolling is being done, is also of great value in giving an impetus to the young plant. Peru vian guano is the best for this purpose. It may be mixed with some plaster—say two of guano to one of plaster—and just as much used as will adhere to the seed. The addition of superphosphate would be desirable were it not for the danger of killing the send thereby. Quite small quantities of an acid phosphate in contact with cotton-seed will entire ly destroy their germinating power. Bear tjiat in mind. Pure Peruviau gua no used in rolling will not kill cotton «eed, but superphosphates will Cotton-planting being tinisuea, ana « oth hardly ready for it« first working, time will be afforded to look after tlie "side" crops, such as sweet potatoes, drilled corn, millet et«. 1 6 i millet. Millet stands drought and neglect bet ter than corn, but, like it, requires rich soils to produce best results. Sow in drills the same distance apart as corn—a half bushel to one bushel of seed per acre will be ample. The " cat-tail" is one of the best varieties.—[Southern Cultivator. How Two Pendleton Young Men Took the First Degree in Masonry.— Two inquisitive fellows of onr town, on Thursday night of last week, were caught eave-dropping on the stairway leading to the Masonic Hall, where the fraternity at the time were holding a business meeting. Being caught in this predicament, they were asked if they would like to join the. lodge. This they assented to, and were «ushered Into the ante-room, where, according to the rules, thev would be required to take the first degree in order to enter the lodge. Having consented, it is said it was taken iu a very heroic manner. The first degree in Masonry, especially the one administered upon this occa sion, is one not drnired by many to be 1-water de uj tue pay ment of $20 they would be allowed to enter. Not having this amount conve nient, they quickly retired, being cau tioned not to reveal any of the secrets of the fraternity.—[Falmouth (Ky.) Independ ent.
