Hut I do not mean fLat tliree or even' two furrows to the row (be run every "week or ten daye?\\One to tho row with a good cul^aWr ehod wllh 12 to 15-iuchri? sweeps, is enough. It will ?ot (/oat more than 20 cents an acre to (?o over it once to the row, and I am quite sure it will benefit the cotton a great deal more than 20 oeuts. ? Lancaster r i r ' Ledger.
