A good cotton ,'in should he aocured, and tit tentiou paid to the manner in which tin insiiii' i.i priormed. The condition oi the cotton .-hould be perfect. If it has been properly sunneel before put in hulk, and sicurcly housed against tbe effects of damp, it will be in such order that the lint will be drawn from lbs bru-h-wheel in a feathery, fleecy state. If the gin i-, in proper condi tion, the staple will not knap, nor will the fibre be cut by the saws. Knapping cot ton, and that which is cut by the sacra, al ways sell for less than even dirty cotton. which are well ginned, from the fact, that , tha muuufacturer ha.i the proper machines 1 1 i for cleaning it of the dirt anel leal left in it ; I but irbea the fibre id once dcatroyed, its 1 1 - I value is in like manner impaired. This ex- I emntion from hsfnrr can onlr be orvper- ! , i i i " i , i : Iy see ured by having both toe cotton and gin in perfect order. An orerseer .-hould not only be a capable judge of these tilings. - iii I, . i i . j but he houhl be ublo to ri-im dv any detect- 1 which utny occur in the working of the ma- ! chinerv of the motive power which drives j i the gin, as well as in the gin itself.

In packing cotton, six ropes should he used to each bale: for if one' should break, then- arc ai- ! Trays A sulbeient number left to secure the bale from bursting. The rope, too. is s 1- (him an exneuae to the planter, as it usual- Iy brings as much as it casta, and hence he cau afford to apply it without stint. If six ropes arc used, the sowing of the bale s on the side with twine cau bo dispensed with; for with close packing the bagging will moot, and even if it does not, there can be no wastage- at the sieles Fnnn the mode in which cottons are packed in the screw-box Ciin hyetn, the wastage only occurs in the top, bottom and ends. The heads of the bales khould be sec surely and properly sew- ed up witu twiiui in the beat manner. Af ter the bide is tamed tmt, avoid the com mon cuntoin of exposing it to the weather. If ito north gathering, picking and packing for the market, it eertaiuly is worth pro tecting from the weather. If these parti ars are strictly atteneled to, tho cotton crop would bring the producer from one to two cents per pound more than it does when prepared iu a careless and indifferent mau- ller.
