THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR. 
Stump Lifter. — What is the best kind oi 
machine for taking outstumps? Many contri- 
vances have been got up for the purpose of 
clearing fields ot stomps. One of the most 
common in this section is the wheel and a.xis, 
mounted on high posts so as to lift the stumps 
up. The Albany Cultivator has a cut ol one 
which it says cost $300 or $400, and which has 
cost the invertor, first and last, $L0,000, to bring 
to perfection. This appears to l)e an excellent 
machine, but although it requires but a single 
horse to pull up a stump of the largest rate, yet 
it costs too much lor “ these diggins.” 
We have seen the following very simple plan 
ol stump clearing, adopted with good success. 
Take a strong, stiff, hard wood stick of tim- 
ber, say fifteen or twenty feet long and six inch- 
es in diameter. Cut around the stump and take 
off some of the roots. Then place the timber 
upright against the slump, and chain them to- 
gether strong. Prom the upper end, which is 
now in the air, let the chain pass to the axletree 
of a pair of cart wheels, to the tongue ol which 
a pair of strong oxen are attached. When all 
is ready, start the oxen along, and the stump 
''keels over" as easy as you capsize a cabbage 
in a garden . — Maine Farmer.

Dear Sir — I regret it was not in my power yes- 
terday, when I saw you, to give you any opinion 
with regard to a small lot of cotton I have grow- 
ing from seed presented to me last spring Ly my 
friend John W. Graves, Esq. Since then, how- 
ever, 1 have been to my plantation and made com- 
parison of it with my crop of cotton, and now 
take pleasure i.u saying to you, it is a superior ar- 
ticle in point of fineness and length of fibre, con- 
taining more lint on the seed, and will yield much 
more from the same quantity oi land piaiiit-d. I 
am respectfully, dear sir, your obedient servant, 
[Signed] Wm. Johnston. 
Georgia, Newton County: 
I hereby certify that I obtained from John W. 
Graves, of this county, a sack of Cotton Seed 
(which he represented of superior quality intro- 
duced from Texas,) which I p’anted last spring, 
J find to exceed iiiy most sanguine expectation. 
I planted it two or three weeks alter my other 
cotton, (which is the Petit Gulph,) and notwith- 
standing the season wns dry and unfavorable 
throughout the year, (the growing season) yet it 
is by far the best cotton lever made. I think by 
the time it is all gatliered, the best part will yield 
2000 to 2500 pounds per acre. My neighbors who 
have seen it are of the same opinion. From the 
trial 1 have made, I believe it will yield double as 
much as my other cotton on land of the same fer- 
tility. [Signed] Jackson Harwell, 
24th October, 1844. 
Georgia, Morgan County : 
This is to certify that I am neighbor to JohnT 
McNeil, Esq., and that he last spring got a load 
of Texas Cotton Seed from John W. Graves, 
Esq., ol Newton county, and planted them on 
what I consider average land of his farm ; and 
from frequent observation of the crop, with his 
other cotton, (which is the Petit Gulph,) I do be- 
lieve it will far excel any other cotton I have ever 
seen raised in this section of eouniry. And I 
also believe that the staple exuels any other I 
have ever examined, as to fineness and color. 
[Signed] John P. Evans. 
This will certify that I acted as overseer for 
Mr. John T. McNeil for the year 1844. My know- 
ledge of farming induces me to believe that the 
Texas Cotton, raised by Mr. McNeil this year, is 
a very superior article, and with me preferable to 
any other cotton I have ever raised. It is of long 
and fine staple, and well boiled, and easily picked) 
out, and has withstooda drought this year better 
than the Petit Gulph Cotton. It is, in a word, a 
valuable cotton. I have ginned eight bales of the 
Texas Cotton on Mr. McNeil’s Carver Gin, and 
find that it yields one pound of clear cotton from 
three of seed cotton ; and from my experience of 
thirty years in cotton growing. I have never rais- 
ed any I think equal to the Texas Cotton.

John TV. Graves, Esg. ; 
Dear Sir — Having been called on by you to 
make a statement in relation to your Texas Cot- 
ton, we take pleasure in saying, that for the last 
two or three years we have received at our ware- 
house your cotton crops. The quality has inva- 
riably proved very supeiior, both as to color and 
length of staple. On sale, it has always bre ught 
the highest market price. We consider it u very 
superior article in the cotton line. 
Your obedient servants, Adams & Hopkins. 
Mr. John T. MeNeil ; 
Dear 3ir — We have received the two bales of 
Texas Cotton sent by you to us, and take pleas- 
ure in saying that in color and length of staple it 
is superior to anything we have seen ; and cheer- 
fully recommend it as such as will always bring 
the highest market price. 
Your obedient servants,
