The question of how much cot tun we
can afford to plant having been defi
nitely settled, tho next subject for im
mediate attention, is how bust to culti
vate riie.se acres, amt also t > gather and
mark-'t the crop in order to get the larg
est ret uru at the least expense. It has
been .stated on tho authority of an emi
nent nutn, who has planted cotton
largely a.l his life and who has given a
great part of his time to the study of
the various circumstances affecting its
sale, that the value of the cotton crop,
for the last ten, years has been depre
ciated at least 0110-sixth by the rules of
the Cotton Exchange, which rules were
founded on and have been since sup
ported by the cureless methods of the
planters themselves. Our methods of
handling have been such as to give the
buyer every advantage, anil it cannot
be too strongly urged that not only
should we cut down every expense as
far as possible, from the time tho prepa
ration for the crop begins, until the last
lock is gathered, but that in ginning
and shipping, the same rigid economy
should 00 observed. We are not careful
enough in the sample we send to market,
and tiie large preponderance of inferior
grades affects injuriously the price of
the whole crop. Again, the chances of
a fair sample in the markets is often
destroyed by exposure and rough hand
ling of the goods after they arc ready
for shipment. The present form and
carelo s covering of our bales are re
sponsible for nint h of the damage which
our cotton sustains before it reaches its
final destination.
We believe that if the round, compart
bale were universally adopted, the con
venience) of handling and shipping
would ho greatly incr \wed and dan
ger from injury and loss so decreased
as eventually to sensibly affect tho
market quotations. Tin, much needed
reform in our methods would, as oar
friend suggests, work a revolution in
tho rules of tho New York and New
Orleans cotton exchanges, by eliminat
ing from tlie markets the greater part
of the inferior grades, which now tend
to depress prices. The round bale is
gaining in favor every day, and as
fanners more generally acquaint them
selves with its advantages, ns adoption
will become certain. Wo allude to this
question thus early, because by calling
attention to its merits now, it is possi
ble to market much of oven this year’s
crop in this neat and highly approved
form. K T. Ni>nm\

Question'. —Daring the Exposition 1
noticed iu the Georgia building a dis
play of Soja Beans, which T was told
were a legume of exc 'ptionully line
quality for stock feed. Please give me
all the information possible ns to this
crop. I would like to know how it
compares with our field pen, both as a
food and as a renovator of tho soil. Also
wlieii to plant and liow to cultivate.
What is the usual yield per acre'/
Axswmt. —As an improver of worn
soils and a valuable food for stock tho
Sojn Bean ranks among our best crops.
The bean is richer in fat than any of
our grains and stock are very fond of
tlie fodder. Tho latter if mixed with
corn in the silo furnishes a bettor bal
anced ration than the corn alone. From
the following analysis, taken from the
United States agricultural department
reports, it will bo soon that as a fertil
izer and improver of tho soil and as a
food, Ihe Soju beau takes rank above
our ordinary field or cow pea.—State

In explanation of the terms used.
Protein is the name of a group of ma
terials containing nitrogen. It fur
nishes the materials for loan flesh,
blood, skin, muscles, tendons, nerves,
hair, horns, wool, and the cassein anil
albumen of milk, etc., and is one of the
most important constituents of feeding
stuffs.
Fiber is the frame work of plants, and
is, as a rule, the most indigestible con
stituents of feeding stuffs. The coarse
fodders, such as hay anil straw, contain
a large proportion of fiber, and are for
this reason less digestible than the
grains, oil cakes, etc.
Nitrogen free Extract includes starch,
sugar, gums and the like, and forms an
important part of all feeding stuffs, but
especially of most grains. The nitrogen
