Take it all in all and from start to finish, and we doubt whether any other crop grown by civilized men is s blunderingly and unscientifically mar? keted as cotton. Let us see what arc the outstanding features: 1. Thousands of gins injure the lint seriously in the process of gin? ning. Competent authorities de? clare that a considerable proportion of the gins in the South arc so shame? fully antiquated that they should no be allowed to operate at all. 2. The hagKing is too often ragged and Inefficient for the purpose <;f hold? ing in the cotton and keeping it clean Farmers' Rulletin No. 7ti4 to which we have already called attention dis? cusses this point in detail?the shame? fully ragged covering now put on cot? ton and "the loses which occur from the time the cotton is ginned until it arrives at the mill, a large proportion of the expense of which is borne in? directly by him"?the farmer. Th ? writer has himself heard foreign man ufacturers declare that they never used American cotton when it war possible to get cotton of suitable staple from other countries simply be? cause of the waste resulting from our ragged bagging. 3. Not content with rotten hagKing alone, we then make bad matters worse by leaving cotton out in the weather frequently for weeks and months. It is folly to think that manufacturers are such fools that they pay for water in cotton, or that they will pay as much for damaged cotton as for clean dry lint. The fanner who thinks that through rain and dew he has gained $1 in weight in a bale of cotton ouj;ht < to realize that he is docked $2 to $20 in grade middling. In some sections buyer? for every dollar he imagines he has gained in weight4. For Texas alone authorities recently estimated a loss of $5.000,000 a year through country damage. 4.

The explanation is that early In the season a very largo part of the cotton is better than mid? dling, and the grower should have an extra premium for it. This extra premium Mr. Buyer pockets, and says never a word about there being grades above middling. But later in the season when poorer grades of cotton are coming in, the buyer us^s very rigid grading or classing, and the farmer is sure to llnd out that there are grades below midding even if he never finds out that there are grades above middling.?The .Progressive Farmer. - } Bark Corner Bots.

Cotton picking is being pushed though the weather keeps very warm. I understand cotton is going down, at which I am not surprised, for I believe be fore the 16th of October cotton will be selling for 12 1-2 or 15 cents, and should that be the case how farmers are to pay for $2.75 corn and 2 5c butt meat is more than I can see.
