aG ins ion v ot? cottox. Of the er i lict hisfcry of cottcn we know but very little. Your" hundred Tears latere Christ Iferodotn wrote : "'There is a plant in Jndta which pro duces wool liner and letter than that of sheep, artd the natives make their clothes of it!" This was cotton, of course; in fac', there U no question about it, for Al ': uder soon after brought it into Persia, -Arabia and Egypt. So, you see, we have positive 1'ioof that cotton was crown and used lor the same purpose as how used, j about twenty-three hundred years ago. Eighteen hundred years ago calico J was being manufactured from cotton, so hi3to,ry teils us. Possibly it was j not called calico, the historians do not j post us on that point they merely j mention it r..s n "tl.-"th cmstrncrcd of' wool thf gre w or. phiidg, n.it e'i.bel- j list ed in a' rude i.tMor. wiin n finlaslu reprc?f ntalion "1" flowers. " Jfofjt ivritcra mention motion as na tive to India. Columbus found cotton in Jlatti, and Cortex found cotton "cloth 'of lino and firm texture," in common uc anif;tir the origii.al .Mex icans ; all of winch natnra'ly leads to the conclusion that cotton was as much a native of the 'ew World as the Old. About the year 1-fOO the manufac ture of cotton cloth began in 'Europe. At first it wflii decidedly an up hill business, Wing bitterly persecuted at every hand. For two hundred years tiie weavers were forced to conduct their operations in secret, woven mixed with wool, on loom, in a slow and tedious it was a hand manner. 'f ho persecution was based upon the grounds that cloth was to be made of either wool or hair, and that, as this vegetable fibre was neither wool nor hair, its introduction was simply an adulteration and hence a fraud. The first cotton grown in whit is now known as the United States, was introduced into Georgia from Parba- does, about the middle of the seven- j teenth century ; but its cultivation did ! not become general until over a him- j died years after. In 1730, a Mr. Wvatt, of England, worked the first cotton made into cloth or thread by machinery. In 1741, the English people were fairl' interesting themselves in the matter, an 1 a report published in 1741 shows the imports of raw cotton for that year to have amountea to i.yuu.uuu poumis. me! first cotton spinning mill was erected j at Birmingham, in England, in 1742. j In 17'31, Arkwright, (afterwards! knighted,) obtained the first parent for spiuning machinery. It spun but a single thread, but in 1767 James liar grove invented and patented a new machine that spun eight threads instead of one. In 1775 the power loom was invent ed. In the same 3-car it was discovered that chlorine could be employed in bleaching cotton. In 1790 the culti vation of Sea Island cotton began in the United States In the same year was erected at Pawtuckct, Rhode Is land, the first American cot t ton mill. In 1792. the first cotton gin was in vented, in Georgia, by Eli Whitney. J l 1 ' LIIjIU till UUll i,ut ll 1 separated from the lint by hand pick- j mg. The first power loom working cotton in the United States was started at Waltham, Mass.,' in 18f. From that day on to the niesent there has been m this countrv, with a iiiiet iiiterrun- tion during the late war, a steady m- crease in both production and manu- fact nre. The production has been confined to the South, of course, while the ninuufrir tine has, up to late ben mi'i-ly cont'ned to the Nort vcars. 1 h. A cliung'. in tilt? IaUr svsU m 0. the !

The following concerning the use of hedges for fen ces we receive from a farmer of expe rience and extensive reading: Sooner or later the farmers in the United States must ttdopt hedges lor fences, as the cost of all the fences in this countrv is estimated by good au thorities to" be about $1,800,000,00, or $ 45 a head for each inhabitant, old or young ; and it costs $100,000,000 an nually to keep them in repair. Re cently, Major Brisbin, of the United States army, compiled statistics in re gard to the annual destruction of tim ber in the nation, from which it ap pears that the consumption requires about 5,000,000 acres every year. ITe puts the requirements for fencing pur poses at about one-half ot this vast amount, which we think is too high ; but it is nevertheless immense, and, notwithstanding the gradual increase of tree planting for future use, it is certain that a radical change in our fence system is absolutely necessary, or two generations hence the country will be praeticallj' without fences. The kind of hedges most grown are the buckthorn and barberry for the north and the Osage for the south. In regard to the barberiy, the Wal I in ford ircular says : "We have a bar berry hedge on oui grounds twenty five rods long, and nine j-ears old, from the seed. Two rows of plants I were set, the rows one foot apart and t 1 A - . . itie plants one 100c apart in me rows ; and set alternately to break joints. This hedge has been clipped a little two or. thiec times, to keep it even, and is now six or seven feet high, with a firm, compact base, perfectly imper vious to the smaller auimals, and stout enough to turn ordinary farm stock, except for a short d'stance at one end, where the soil i3 quite thin." A pound of barberry, or buckthorn seed, costing $1, will produce plants enough for 100 rods of fence. Grafting the "Walnut. A corre3 pondent says : We have in our field, some distance from the house, a very fine walnut, the oily nuts of which I find beneficial in relieving a severe cough to which I am subject. Last spring 1 sent our little boy for a limb of this tree to graft into a small seed ling walnut that stood in our yard. The limb he brought me looked more fit for a crow's nest than a graftinr scion ; but I cut three of the best scions that I could, sawed off the top and the one side branch of the little bush and set two grafts in the main stock and one in the side branch; the last one was surperfluous. Every time I pass ed that way I found it necessary to let out the sap and tighten the wax. The poor thing seemed determined to cry itself to death. Xot until after the pear and apple grafts, set at the same time, had made a growth of several inches, did the walnut grafts begin to show signs of growing, but when faiily started they grew with surprising ra pidity, and when they shed their leaves in the fall the largest graft measured live inches in circumference and over seven feet in length, with a lateral nearly three feet long; the next was a single snoot nearly an large as the first; the side graft was twice twisted out of place by storms, yet mrde a growth of nearly six feet in length, but was not near so large in circumference as the other two. - Wisterivo Roses. A correspond ent of the Country Gentleman says ; Perhaps my plan of wintering roses niaj- be useful to some other amateur. I had a hot bed frame not in use, and after losing my roses in the house year after year, I concluded to ita provise a (small cold pit. I sank in the ground a very large dry-goods box. Over il I placed a Lot-bed frame and sash, put the potted roses in the bor, and the thing was done. As the cold grew intense, I drew up earth around the sides of the frame, ami covered the sash with an old piece of carpet, and did not then see my roses until the spring, when they were simply watered, the carpetre moved, and the plants left under the sash for two or three weeks before re moving. I have practiced this meth od for three or four winters, and with perfect success. The plants fairly jump when the suu strikes them in the spring, and they are in a healthy, growing condition when I transplant to the border. I wish now to make a permanent cold pit, in order to use the hot-bed frame in Uic spring. A new method of preserving fruii is being practiced in England. Pears, apples and other fruits are reducetl to a paste, which is then pressed into cakes and gently dried. When re quired for use it is only necessary to pour four times their weight of boiling water over tlietrk, allow them to soak . f . ..-.., :-.. s : 3 i uniiuira, ami iiK.ii aiuisugar iu -u.it, ma taste. i ne une u a vol oi die fruit is said to be retjuwed to per fection. The cost of the prepared product is hardly greater t!iau tlrat of the original fruit, ditfeiiiiir with Lha supply and price of the latter; the keeping qualities are excellent, so that it may be had at any time ot the year, and bears long sea voyages without detriment. No peeling or coring is required, &o tLtere is ua waste. ' ' TT A CAi.cuLATiNj-Cirow. A Scotch newspaper of the year 1816 states that a carrion crow, perceiving a brood of fourteen chickens, under the care of a pareat hen, on a lawn, picked up one ; Imt on a young lady opening the win dow fud giving an alarm, the robber dropped his prey. In the course of the day, however, th plunderer re turned, accompanied by thirteen other crows, when each one 6eized his bird and earned off the whole brood at once. ALEXANDER TAIT, M.
