The culture of the soil, the growth of the cotton plant, the Improved methods of its cultivation and preparation tor market since the introduction of free labor are the subjects that principally engross the attention of laborers and planters In the Gulf States. How well they have suo-ceeded is demonstrated by the magnificent cotton crops. Mr. Atkinson code Hers the cultivation of the cotton plant and the utilization of all its products as still in their infancy, and that the time may yet arrive whea it will remunerate the planter to cultivate cotton for the sake of Its seed. He says: "The habit of the cotton plant has been changed since the cessation war," and it has been forced to mature eatller, has been made strouger to resist insect enemies, has been made more prolific and larger crops are raised by fewer hands than before the war.

He naturally Infers that a wider field is now opened than heretofore "for the introduction of' new tools, new cotton gins, new cotton presses, and for every variety of Implements and processes." Consequently he proposes an exhibition should not be Indulged in when the thermometer ranges between 125 and 135 deg. In the sun, for but few animals can stand It, and If they do an Injary, will at some time show Itself, which can be dated back to this cause. As to giving water plentifully while driving, as some advocate, we are satisfied that it is injurlous.ai should not be practiced. The more water a horse drinks, the more he will perspire, then it follows that the more he pereplras the more water will be required to keep up the drain made upon the system. We have noticed that in making long drives, that horses do better by not allowing them to drink large quanltles of water.

Horses should be so managed that they can perform without Injury to their constitutions, the work required of them even In the hot test weather. Careful driving Is of the first then see to it that too much water is not given them.

The New York Nation of last week, com. mentlDg upon the frequency of accidents this summer 'on railroads and steamboats, falls Into a very angular error la reference to the liability to pay damages when death Is the result of such accident, and can te shown to be attributable to the negligence of the transportation company or its agents. It says: "In cases of death by the negligence of transportation companies, however, the statuary limit of $5,000 damages, which prevails throughout the United States, eeemg very low, and it is difficult to, a reason why there should be any (limit) at all." It then proceeds to attribute this limit apparently to the first English act upon the subject, prior to which the la? of England and the United States, did not recognize any right to recover damages for the death of a human being, and as the legislation was to be an Innovation, it was probably thought well not to aek Parliament for too As no buch limit exists In actions brought against the companies for personal injuries not resulting In death, the Nation sagely concludes that "the present condition of the law makes it more advantageous fo a railroad or steamboat company to kill a man the vacancies created.

The compli-cations of blunders here is a curious one, particularly for a journal of the Nations gests to the southern producers and Northern manufacturers the propriety of getting up an exhibition of sample products and fabrics, showing the plant in from the boll to the web of manufaotered It rams more abundantly over loresw man over open ground, especially when the trees are in leaf; that the air above the for est tenure saturated with moisture tian the air over the open grout, that th leaves of the trees interoeptone-thlrdaiid, in soma trees, oue-half of the rainfall, an that the leaves and branches of the trt es retain the evaporation ot the wat.r that reaches the ground, moistening the earth four times as muoh as It la moistened by the rain which falls on open giouud." Although some of these results are not new they greatly enlarge our present knowledge of forest meteorology. The last statement as to the power ot tries to check the evaporation from the underlying soil and to make (be rainfall available for soil irrigation Is peculiarly suggestive of the necessity, In our dry climate, of preserving large tracts of woodland. The proportion of rainfall that la Immediately or ultimately abstracted from the earth by the )lat action of the sun's ray and the drying winds varies very much, but on treeless tracts it is notfarfrom 50 percent, and the amount lost to vegetation or at-soi bid by percolation Is 20 per cent. more. In limestone countries, such aa the vast belt stretching from the Genesee valley In Nbw York through Central Pennsylvania, the Valley cf Virginia, the garden spot of that State, and the rich blue grass country of Kentucky to the Muscle Shoals of the Teneesee river, the loss of rainfall from the surface soil by percolation is especially large, the nndeilyb rucks having deep Assures and wide, cavernous openli.gs, throuKh some of which actual subterranean livers flow for miles.

"Pine and resinous wjods 1 ave," he says, "above all, the re-mailsable property of extracting from the rain-beating currents that cross them a greater volume ot rainfall than the open ground." The rainfall collected In a year udove the pines was nearly two inches greater than that received by the rain gauges placed on the surrounding open ground. Such facts and figures are worthy the closest study of agriculturist in the'Atlautio districts recently ravaged by forest fires.

Important To Fruit Growers. The following article clipped from the Saoramento Record Union Is wothy 1 no-tice by oar Fair committees: It is under consideration by the Si ate Board of Agriculture to make at the Htate Fair ia September, a praotloil exibltiou of the vatlous fruit pests that have made their appearance and are doing injury to the fruit in this State. It is proposed to have the codling moth, in Its various transformations from the egg to the full grown moth, shown up, with full explanations of Its habits and the best known methods for Its destruction, In all the various stagos ot advancement. In order to do this there will be shown sections of fruit trees containing the nest of the larvaa as they are actually found on the Inside bark in the winter season.

The pupa or chrysalis ot the Insect will be shown as it appears when the nest is broken and removed from it in the winter, and so on In its vatlous stages, till the perfect Insect Is hatched in the spring; its mode of depositing Its eggs on the seed end of fruit, the progress of the larva? as it burrows or eats its way to the center of the fruit, and its way out when ready to assume the pupa or chrysalis form; how it spins a thread of fine silk and lets Itself down to the ground and then seeks the body of the tree about the roots or under the bark, of which it makes its nest; how It makes its nest goes through the natural changes and again comes forth the full sized moth, again to lay eggs in the fruit and go through another season of destruction to the fruit. An exhibition of this kind, conducted and explained by a person well versed in the natural history and habits of the insect, cannot fail to be very Interesting to any observer, and to the fruit grower of great value. Then It Is under consideration also to show up the red scale that Infests the orange groves of San Gabriel und other localities where the orange is cultlvacec1, and with the aid of magnifying glasses to enable the spectators to seo the various changes and transformations made by the little Insects that form these scales and sap the life from the trees upon which they are allowed to remain. It Is also proposed iu the same way to show up the apple scale that has become so destructive to the op-pie orchards in and about the Santa Clara valley; also the phylloxera, the grape Insect that is ruining the vinevarda of the Old World and those of our own State. A study like this It is thought may be made one of the most interesting and valuable nigner trices are Realized here than In the markets E-tst.

chances of fortune are likely to go against hem. A man may buy a farm on credit and if the Interest is not out of proportion, that is to say above a fair rate, he can safely go to work to pay for bis farm. There is no speculation about this, every thing depends on his industry and econo my and if he is a worker and posseses the other qualifications he will In time get out of debt, but let a man buy fine stock or buy land on speculation, depending on a is true that at common law no right of action existed on the part of the relatives or representatives of a deceased person for negligently causing the death of such persons. It Is a mistake to suppose that the act of Farllment Campbell's act passed In 1846, 9 and 10 ch. 93, which gave a right of action tothe representatives of every person killed by the fault of another for the benefit of the surviving parent, child, husband or wife, restricted the right of recovery within any such limit as the Nation supposes.

It gave the same right of action to representatives of the deceased which the deceased himself would have had If death had not resulted fromjthe injuries reived, and left the jury to assess the damages to be divided among the surviving relatives above named as the jury might direct. This act has been adopted In most, if not all, of the United States. The Nation Is, entirely mistaken In Its premises, and its conclusion that it is oheaper as the law stands to kill a man than to maim him falls to kill the ground. The fact lsjthat wherever a statutory limit exists to the amount of damages which are recoverable, the limit, and not the law giving the right to sue forjdamagee, Is the innovation. Historically speaking, as tne Nation would say, the reason why such a limit in some States has been found necessary Is simple enough.

Unfortunately such suits while Intended to be prosecuted solely for the benefit of the surviving and Immediate relatives of the deceased party nrmed in the statute, are too frequently prosecuted quite as much for the benefit of the attorney, who has brought the action on shares, or for a percentage, usual-, ly a large one, of all he may recover, as as for that of the bereaved and suffering family of the deceased. In this way such suits are needlessly multiplied and vexa-tiously pursued when oftentimes no just cause of action exists, and Instead of a fair and reasonable compensation for the Injury sustained being the limit of the plaintiff's claim, all the arts of the advocate are employed and exhausted to Inflame damages and swell the verdict, of Which one-half oftentimes finds its way into the advocates pocket. It Is the growth of this nuisance of speculative litigation which has led to the establishment In some States of a statutory limit to the amount of damages recoverable in such suits. A more equitable and effectual remedy, perhaps would be found, should legislation be Invoked to apply a remedy, by limiting the lee or share of the attorney In such cases, and not that of the parties for whose redress and indemnity the right of actlaa Is given. lucky turn of the wheel of fortune to bring Tne grand rush tms year for lands has been along the Fort Scott Gulf Railroad.
