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'

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

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.

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

tion during the late war,
a steady m-
crease in both production and
manu-

confined to the South, of course, while

Fences for Farms. 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

die fruit is said to be retjuwed to per

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.

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.
