Tho tablet which is to mark the site of tho first cotton iuill in America wu put iu place yesterday at the corner of Dodge and Cabot streets, North liev erly, says the boston Herald. There was no formal exercises, but among those iuvited by the Beverly Historical Society to be present was the Hou. U. S. ltuntoul, of Salem, us the result of whose researches the fact was demon strated that this was really the first cotton mill iu America. It seems that when Mr. liuutoul was Mayor of Salem he was iuvited to Tawtucket, H. I., to uttend the celebration of the ceuteuuiul of tho opening of the first cottou mill iu America. He did not go, but he began to look up the history of the cottou mills. The result de monstrated beyond doubt thut the mill ill Iloverly antedated thut in Puw tucket bv Borne yeurs. The facts ure subht initiated by no less a persou than Oeorge Washington, who on his tour through New Englaud made a visit to this mill in 1H7K, aud recorded at length his impressions. This was a year before Slater came to America, and two years before he started hi mill iu 1'awtueket. The lieverly mill was built uud ruuuiug iu 1788. In lati tudes north of Ohio spring is tho safest time, though good results have been obtained from full Betting in latitudes much further north by using plenty of mulch. Most of my experience has been with spring setting, but a few years ago I failed to get a full stand of . r i. 1 a . Jill Al.rt plants ana bo i trieu 10 uu out iuo vacaucies that fall; where I set on well-drained ground so that the plauts would not have wet feet during the winter I had very good success, but some of the plantation was on low ground aud many of the plants were killed out. Here is a point which is often a mystery to many why some years their caues kill back worse than others? If by auy agency the growth of canes are prolonged in the fall their chances of ripouiug or hurdeuiug are lessened. Late cultivation, nndue moisture in the soil, or excessive fer tility are all agents in this doluy, and so, for good results, we must seek to obtuiu conditions of soil which are not detrimeutul to the point. I set my plants four by six feet so that I cau use the cultivator both ways. This saves a great deal of hand hoeing and weeding; besides, where only rowed one way they soon moss into a continuous row, which will gradually encroach on the cultivator until it gets two or three feet wide, making a mass of bushes in which the fruit will be hidden and hard to pick; besides, weeds and grasses aro sure to find a foothold which will eventually ruin the plantation. Another advantage of hill culture is that the berries ure more perfectly developed aud firmer. When the growth of canes avo left undisturbed the whole season, most of the strong fruit buds are at their top; then when cut back later it leaves most of the weuk buds for tho next seasou's fruit. This is one of the advantages advocated by many for pinching back the caues wheu only eighteen or twenty inches high; then laterals will be thrown out, and on these will form the fruit burs for the future crop. These laterals are less easily broken over with their load of fruit than a single cane. After raspberries come into bearing a mulch is of considerable value in maturing a crop, especially iu a dry season. Coarse muuure is best, if it can bo had; it cau bo placed on iu the full so that the ruins may carry the plant food down to the roots, where it will be iu reudinesB when needed. Then' wheu tho "dry spell" comes the coarse refuse will serve to keep tho soil moist aud cool, which will be just what the roots need to mature a crop. If this mulch is uot extended mora than a foot each way from the hill tho soil can be frequently stirred, which iu itself is equal to the manure. 13. A. Wood, in the Epitomist. For Ret Ills Promise.
