The Cotton and Tobacco : of the United States. ; A most important movement is now going on, between England arid France, by which these two powerful nations are about to be drawn together by a" more powerful agency, than ever heretofore operated upon them. The French empe ror has determined on a change in the commercial system of theonn'ry,' which i$ ni'ost cordially met by England, by which the productions of each nation will be in troduced into the pjrts of the other, on such terms as will counteract the hitherto almost prohibitory character of their sys tem. This change is likely to have a very important baring, also, on the pro ducts of this country; as our treaty wi. France puts us on the fooling with tne most favored nations'", "we presume that, whatever reduction of duties she may consent to mike in her treaty with Great Britain, ihe, United States will be entitled to share alike with her in her advantag es. : . The A. Y. Herald, in noticing the changes thus being affected, alludes to the fact, that' the ancles of greatest ex port to France from ihe .United States, consists of cotton and tobacco,' The cot ton hence to France in 1858-'o9 amount ed to 463,000 bales. Under the opera tion of free trade it will soon be double. We notice from the schedule of the re duction of duties proposed by the Emperor that on and after the 1st day of July next the duty on cotton, now about 2 1-2 cents a pound, or from eight to ten dollars per bale, is to be entirely abolished, and that from October, 1S61, all prohibitions are to cease. This, doubtless, looks 1o the abandonment of the prohibitory duty on tobacco, or to the abrogation of its monpoly by the government. The manufacture and sale of tobacco are entrusted by the French government to a commission known as the Kegie, and who have a capital of forty five millions of dollars. The average export of Amer ican tobacco into France amounts to about eighteen thousand hogsheads. About 1! 1-5 of the tobacco consumed in Europe is the growth of the United States. The revenue derived by . the French govern ment from tobacco was in 1857 92,233 726 francs and in ,1852 95,344,008 francs. : .' . ( ' , . , ' From the tenor of .the, treaty with France, it seems proposes to abolish after the ; last of October 1S61, , the prohibition and monopoly, on tobacco; when this law goes into effect she will export from this country eight or ten limes the quantity that she at present receives from the United States. With a fair duty on this enormous consumption, says the Herald, she would realize as much, ar.d probably more revenue than she now re ceives through the commission of the Re sie- " . " . : : The London Times shows the result of the abolishment of the duties on cotton in to that kingdom. The imports at that period were 63,000,000 pounds, it is now 1,000,000,000 pounds. This is one of the most giant facts which stands head and shoulders higher then the crowd so high and so broad that we can neither overlook it nor affect not to see it. It proves the existence or a thou sand smaller facts that must stand under its shadow. It tells of sixteen times us many mills, sixteen times as many Eng lish families living by working those mills, sixteen times as much profit derived from sixteen times as much capital en- this manufacture. It carries after it sequences of increased quantiy of freights and insurances, and necessities for sixteen times the amount of customers to consume, to our profit, the immense amount of produce we are turning out. There are not many such facts as these, arising in the routine of industrial his'o- W " 1 1 .1.1. ry. it is so large ana so steady mat , we can steer our national policy by it ; it is so important to us that we should be reduced to embarrassment if it were suddenly to disappear. It teaches us to persevere in a policy which has produced so wonderful a result; its benificent operation makes it essential to us to deal carefully with it now we have got it. These facts should have an lntiuence on the deliberations of our statesmen. Would that the time could arrive when this eternal sectional wrangling wold cease, and the good men and true of our whole nation would strive together tode velope the resources and extend the com merce of our common country. , , . .

We have been shown by R. L. Allen, manufacturer of agricultural implements, a handsome specimen of flour obtained by a new process of unbranning the wheal kernal, by which, according to the statement of the manufacturer, S Bentz, Esq., of St. Louis, ihe great fact has been fully demonstrated that in the man ufacture of a barrel of flour, a practical savii g is made of from 20 to 30 pounds of wheat" Reckoned in cash, a saving of at least twenty cents pec barrel is guaranted, over and above any other mode of milling, though the absolute gain is claimed to be much more" than these fig ures indicate. The berry is first divest ed of its outer coat, previous to grinding. In this State, as appears from the speci ni:ns, the 'berry has a hard, polished look, somewhat resembling a minute sea shell. Of course, with the exterior cov ering, is removed every trace of impuri ty. An additional advantage claimed, and one of no small consequence, is that the flour, will not sour in the tropics. The mills recently completed in St. Louis are now producing fiom 130 to 150 barrels of flour per day, and a movement is mak ing to organize for operation on a much larger scale. N. T. Journal of Commerce. . From the American Stock Journal. Cattle Growing on the Prairies. This business at the West is subject to a few drawbacks which the East does not share with it. Chief among these are the natural fountains bursting from the Eastern hill-sides, A-hich are gener ally wanting on the Prairies. But fre quent streams partially remedy this evil, furnishing water to the herds upon the unfenced "prairie range." Many prai rie farms are destitute of water for the stock ihough a new method of draining, called mole draining, promises some thing toward supplying fountains on these places; but wells must be the main de pendance of farms not located upon liv ing streams. w. For the butter-dairy the water of the creeks and slough streams is riot equal to the mountain springs cf New York and Vermont, but cheese can be made from the same dairy fully equal to Herkimer's best. . . j : ... In choosing a location for growing cat tle on the prairies, durable water should be a chief consideration extensive range gives pasturage in abundance wherever water is found, while the contrary is not always the case. The East has an advantage over us in economically . supplying durable shelter for stock. Very much of the great prai ries of Iowa and Nebraska are destitute of lumber sufficient for building purpos es, and must mainly depend upon straw and hay, which they can have in abun dance for material for protecting animals from the sweeping storms of winter. By access to the timber regions of the North, we are more cheaply supplied in Illinois, but even here the cost of lumber involves too considerable an outlay of capital for the beginner to supply at once good and sufficient, durable and permanent protec tion. To supply this want, various de vices are adopted ; among which, a chief reliance is the huge piles of badly stack ed straw annually made. Indeed many cattle and horses are condemned to run in the cornfields all winter, and subsist upon the ungathered, weather-beateD stalks and leaves without any protection. It is very true that cattle, in this way, do exceedingly well in mild weather in ear ly winter, but all animals need a shelter ing roof, as well as protection from the winds. How many calves are stunted for life, by a day's severe exposure to a cold wet storm in the spring of the year, so thai they never gain the proportions they would otherwise have assumed. So it is with growing animals as one day of very severe labor injures man more than months of ordinary service, so one or two, or three at most, of the very hard storms of winter do the mischief of the season, damaging herds more than is regained in months, indeed if it ever fully recover. Then the hard winter as a season of cold and non-production, receives the blame for the mischief, when it is all chargea ble to a few days of snow or rain temp est, which thousands of cattle are oblig ed to bear through all its dreadful pelt ings, with the torturing pains of the pil lory. It matters not what blood or breed they are ; on such days of storm, cattle need protection. Indeed, it must be an acclimated race to get through with the breath of life in them. I know that the voice of the farmers of this region is against the existence of such an impera tive necessity for protection, but the low condition of their stock in the spring, with the increased cost of winter keep ing over what it need have been, is evi dence enough against them. Thedecrease in flesh through the winter being charge able to winter item of expense. This need not be economical shelter can be given, which, with present keep ing, would save them in full weight for the pasture of spring and do much, very much, in a few years, towards raising our cattle to the point of excellence they should attain. , Straw is abundant every where, and in many places prairie grass can be gathered too coarse for hay which makes excellent hovel covers. For winter forage the upland grasses of the prairie are rut and furmh a nu tricious . and palatable diet. Then we have the range of the cornfields, which, after the corn is picked, the stalks not being cat, give in fair weather ia early keeping, and is the chief winter, a full supply of food on which cattle thrive and fatten. Braving the el ements in later winter for food to save life, is what retards the growth of west ern animals. The East has also a slight advantage over the West in proximity to market. But all advantages are over-balanced in the unsettled parts, by the wide range for summer and the quantity . and quality of winter forage. Indeed in many places in Illinois and more in oilier States in the West, vast herds ian subsist on pasture, rent free. Corn, for fattening, being easily and cheaply produced reuders this an excellent place for stock-growing both growing and fattening being less ex pensive than East. Hence the importance of endeavoring to produce by careful improvement a good race or breed of cattle for the beef mar kets of the East, as well as to supply the demand for work cattle on the plains. And this we may do but as an occasion al storm of passion marks the blandest countenance of parent and offspring with tell-tale lines, and will hinder upward progress in the scale of being, so the causes of which we have spoken, though considered unimportant, will hinder the best blood from proper and full develop ment. Do we place too high an estimate upon care and keeping in the improve ment of a herd? We believe not and further, that whatever accident may oc casionally do in the way of producing fine animals, a universal good result can not be gained until animals are fed reg ularly, and kept sheltered from the ''aw ful" days spoken of in winter, and the severe cold nights. Most farmers wish lo so manage their farms that a profit on the labor will be realized." How can a larger profit be gained than by furnishing shelter and a little grain daily, thereby keeping on the summer flesh which will pay we for the grain, besides saving the wear and tear cf constitution occasioned by cold and storm. An animal going into winter-quarters weighing ten hundred pounds, should see the next May with the same weight; and if it does, it is then possessing its full powers 'of strength and spirits, and is fitted to breed from or propagate by, or to turn to pasture to fatten upon the nat ural material for beef making in warm weather the abundant prairie grasses. On the other hand, as now wintered, we give the cost of keeping fifty head of 'haf to n steers," as follows : Dh.

The secret of success in farming, as in everything else, is in doing things always at just the right ttme. There is hardly a day in the year that something cannot be done to facilitate some necessary work. The reason why some men are always behind with their work their planting or sowing too late their crops overtaken by weed. their grain and grass too ripe be fore they are harvested, is becausi; they put off" too many things for to-morrow, that should be attended to to-day. Every day brings its duties and labors upon the farm, and he who allows the labor of one day to crowd upon another, is always a little too late with everything, and he at once concludes he was born to bad luck. 'A stitch in time saves nine." Frota the Omaha Republican. Fruit 1 Having often been questioned as to whether our soil and climate is adapted to the cultivation of fruit trees, a few remarks on the subject may be interest ing to your readers. To the above ques tion I have always given an affirma tive answer. Having devoted a large portion of my time, for the last twenty years, to the cultivation of fruit ia the East, in about tho same latitude as Ne braska, and have always been successful, I feel safe in saying that this is a good fruit country. Our soil is rich in all the ingredients necessary ' to promote the growth of trees and is warm and thor oughly drained, all of which are indis pensably necessary to the swift and ear ly growth of fruit. Our winters are mild, cur springs not subject to fost after the middle of April, our falls not until the middle of October, which together with our fine summers, not only add to the growth of the tress, but are an idication that our fruit will be superior in size and flavor and greater in quantity. Being far from any fruit-growing coun try it is necessary for us to raise fruit for ourselves. A great extent cf country is opening West of osf and hence , &a im portance cf planting trees with a liVcral hand. .. In planting orchards the rr.ost t c cnomical method cf planting and prur.ing should be adopted. Tho kind that v;ill raise the greatest quantity per acre with the least possible expense, and the ease with which the fruit can be gathered, should be duly considered. Apple trees need not be over twenty feet opart each way, if planted i a quincunx form, and should be so pruned that ilni hf will be formed from two to fctir feet I'rcia tho grouqd. Trc.i so rented will btar ear lier and more abundantly, and the fryit can be gathered at alcut two-thirds the expense that it can en tall :reo Thu practice of pruning orchards so that hor ses and cattle can walk under th? l;mbs, I dislike, as being in tad taste, and un natural, and should be abandoned. ..No one ever saw a high tree that was thrif ty, or bore good fruit. Joel T. Gairris. Fair View Farri, .V. T. The Ycgctat-Is Garden, We take the following from the Indhr.a. Farmer : The following from the pen of the Hor ticultural editor of the Jfrine Fur.uer, contains some of the besi things that have yet been said on tfi2 subject. A regard.- tho size of the farm garden, wo cannot quite consent that it should be very small. Of course, it should bo fenced, and fenced--strongly and neatly. To fence a sinh; rod, would require four reds, if it lo in a regular square, and more if in fir.y ether shape. Four rods of fence for ou3 red of land, is too much. If the garden will measure four rods each way, making six teen rods of land, it would require six. teen rods of fence, at the rate tf cn? rod of fence to each rod of land, only cn3 quarter as expensive per rod inclosed, as in the other case. If the garden wore to contain half an acre, and be ten rods lor.; by eight wide, it would cost but 36-50, or considerably less than half a rod of fence to inclose half a red of soil ; and you would then have a garden worth some thing, one in which could be grown plenty of vegetables and fruits. Do not be afraid of growing too much. If you should have a surplus, and no tale, you could give -away some and not le the poorer for. it, but the richer, at least so at heart; ai?i 1 even if none would "accept them, they would be worth thi mere cost cf grcwir.g : for your animals. There is no sort o? danger of being impoverished ly k-?pir:g a good garden, and of a good siz. Half an acre is not a foot too much. Hcwev er, forty rods, ten rods, or even one,. is better than nothing. Suit yourself a to the size, but don't fail to fellow the advioe ot the Maine Farmtr, below: ; "We feel no cause to enlarge upon tho value cf a good vegetable garden. Its value is, or ought to be, self evident to every intelligent farmer. We know that if all their wives were assembled in con vention, they would unanimously vote a good vegetable garden to bean indi?pen sible part of a good farm." Why, ii's haU' of a good living, a great enemy to phy sic, a sovereign antidote to half the ilk of country 1'fe, a real blessing to the thrifty house-wife and good cook a just sourco of pride to every cultivator. The privil ege to cultivate fruits and vegetables, is one of the inalienable rights t.f the acrri culturist. Farmers, stand i:p to your rights! Would you preserve health and study economy, mind the vegetable gar den. We speak to you thus early about it, that you may commence the good work in time. It is a matter that does not td mii of delay; if you-wish to be success ful you roust Co the work at the right time plant good, pure, fresh seed, of tho best varieties, on the be3t soil, and in tho most careful manner. If you did plow your land last fall, get at it the moment the ground is in condition this spring. . Don't be afraid of plowing it too much; garden ground cannot well be plowed too' deep, too fine, or too often. Let the first furrow be plowed in the garden, it will ' pay. Always select a place a3 near tho rear cf the house a3 possible ; it argues a , want of thoughtful consideration for tho wife and daughters to place tho garden a half-mile off", irr some field. A southern aspect is best fcr most crop?, especially for early ones. Draining is an important thing ; never neglect it. " Be liberal with manure, and be sure to haul it cut before the busy time ccmc3. Don't t so rank, ' coarse manure; let it bo fine and well rotted. Some crops, as carrot3. parsnips, vegetable oysters, &c, must It- planted, early to insure success. Don't plant more than you will really need, unless youplant fcr market; a little patch well cared for 13 'what you want. Don't fore: e; to pre pare a hot-bed, for that's another cf your special privileges a. luxury that costs but , little. ' Experience in 'i'erjperlns Ticks. In the first place, a ood charcoal fire n necessary, next good steel, then a good light hammer, a good smooth-faced an-, vil, and a man with a good eye and judg-" ment- A pick must never be upset or hammered endwise, nor raised above a red heat; it must be worked with care, and the last hammering given to tho l!at sides. - When: ready for hardening it must be heated in tho blaze cf a char coal fire until red-hot,- th?n plunged into cold rain water until it ij nearly cold. t If it is kept in too long the corners will fly off; and if tho water is not siiiUcient ly cold add ice, but no sal:? of my kind.
