Warthen, a thrifty planter living near Saudcrsvillo, Oa., his man aged to raise five bales of cotton to tho acre, and thus explain! how be did it. "The soil is sandy, with clay subsoil. Has been in cultivation for sixty or eighty years, I suppose. About half of the acre was an old dung-hill, the other half very poor before manuring. The guano I used was Kcttlcwell's A. A., or Phospho Peruvian, 1,400 pounds ; raw pine straff from the wood, GO ox cart b ads ; greon cotton seed, GO bushols; stable manure, well rolled, 400 bushels. The pine straw, cotton see l and stable manure I hauled out in Januaay, and strewed broadcast over the laud , then turned undor with a two-horse plough, breaking oi: ht inches deep. Then with a sixteen inch scooter run in the two horse furrow, breaking from five to seven inches ; in the whole thirteen to fifteen inches deep. I then followed in tho scooter furrow with tho guano or subsoil furrow, so on, till completed. In February I repeated the breaking in the same manner, leaving off manuring. In March, tho same again, breaking each time crosswise, or in opposite direc tion. In April, I harrowed the iaud twice, to levol the soil and destroy the young vegetation. Then 1 checked off my rows thsee feet each way, with a small bulltoiiguc plough, and on the 13th day of May I planted my cotton seed in the hill, six or eight seed, drop pod by hand and covered with the foot; the seed wheu covered being on n level. The ccud were the "Cluster Coiton" variety. I purchased them from D*vid Dicknon, Esq., Oxford, Georgia, to whom I must confess I am indebted for my success, to uccrtainextc.it. The seed, I am confident, were half the battle. The cotton was thincd to one stalk to the bill in June, with exception of the outside rows, iu which I left two stalks. Then 1 ploughed with twenty fOur-iuch sweep "Dickson's," shallow, one fuirow to the row, and about eight days afterward T repeated tho same, running one furrow to the row, just scraping the earth enough to destroy the young weeds and gras*. Did not u>=c a hoc in it, in order to avoid sinking the cotton, in fact, had no use for any. as the cotton grew so fast the shndc I thereof prevented all vegetation from growing underneath."
