Mr. Furman's most marvelous
success ns a cotton planter—pro
ducing 80 bales oir 05 acres, be
sides making several hundred bush
els of corn and oats—created no
little stir among our farmers some
weeks ago, and, in order to present
bis plan to our readers in full, the
senior editor of tbe Journal ad-
dressed Mr. Furman a letter a few
days sinco asking him to give Ids
moduli operandi in detail. Though
very hard pressed for time, Mr.
Furman lias kindly consented to
do so, and bis letter will be found
below in full. It will be remember
ed, too, that much of Ibis land was
planted in cotton after oats, and
that it was all cultivated with two
mules: Rend his letter.

Dear Sir:—Yours of the 26th
Inst, to hand. I can tell you how I
apply my manure, but remember
that n system of oulturo that suits
one description of soil may not be
practicable and effective on another.,
My manure, or oompost, suits all
soils. I cannot say as much, how
ever, for my sj stem ot culture. My
land Is n light sandy land with n
clay sub-soil. I commenced with
four-feet rows, and put my manure
for the first four years In the drill—
changing the row every year twelvo
inches. By this systom, you per
ceive, that in four years the land
is manured at intervals of only
twelves inches clear across. To
put my innniiro down, I run a fur
row with a large shovel plow and
follow with a diamond pointed
double winged shovel, making a
broad furrow and from six to eight
inches deep In this I put my ma
nure and cover with two turning
plow furrows and let it stand till
ready to plant, then, throw two
turning plow furrows on this list
and plant on tho fresh dirt with a
Dow Luw Planter und break out
the middles at leisure with straight
slioveU to complete the bed and
givo a working nt the same time.
Always plant late—never beforo
tbe 1st of May, and thus avoid
July drought. After llio fourth
year apply manure broadcast, turn
under, nnd lay oft your land 4 by 4
and plant on the drill, or ratlieron
the level, ut the intersection of tho
rows. Thin by hand, plow botli
ways and use no hoc. This Is the
outline of my plan. When I broad
