No one doubts it, ami yet the reform is delayed for n j good reason. Rev. F. M. Green, of Cincinnati, has recently travel ed in this section and as a very in telligeut man, his views deserve consideration. We quote an ex tract from a recent letter of his: "The one great fault I find with the farmers, in the Eastern part of the State especially, is that they do not raise a sufficiently great va riety of crops. Cotton is the tme great crop that is raisedand when that fails, or the production is over done, the people suffer. I lielieve that every state ought, if possible to raise a supply of all that is nec essary fjr its people. Rut I find iu North Carolina and it is the same elsewhere! I have been that fanners often mortgage their cot ton crop in advance in order to get their food while raising it. If the crop lads, the merchant loses his, prospects for pay for what he has advanced, aud the farmer is left without food or credit. Description of the Mason Cotton Picker. It is not an easy matter to write a description of machinery,- which will lie intelligible to the general public, I nit the Mason Cotton Har vester is so simple a machine that an attempt will be made to describe it in a way which will lie understood by everybody. The fin me of the machine, which is made "of white oak, hickory- ami poplar, is four and one half feet long by four feet wide, ami neaily five feet high. This frame rests upou an axle of two iron wheels, three wheels are Situated about the middle of the frame, aud upon the right hand wheels there is a spocket which connnuuieates the motion to a chain wheel on a shaft which passes cross wise from one side of the machine to the other, near the top and the rear end of the frame. In the cen tre of this shaft there 5s another chain wheel which communicates the. motion of the shaft, by means ot a chain band to another chain wheel iu the centre of another shaft, which crosses the fraine near tlie front of the machine two pairs : of lievt lied gear wheels on this front j shaft communicate motion to two ' j jierpendicular shafts run up from i the bottom "of the frame near the ! front of the machine on each side, es . , . , . , . , . , and vary in ueigui accortnug iu the size of the machine which it is desiretl to make. UjKin these shafts which are made of the best steel are adjusted a series' of iron circles S inches in diameter and from these circles the picking staffs radiate like the spokes of a wheel from the hub. There are 8 staffs to each c.r cle. the whole number of stafl's in the present machine being 120. As the shafts turn, the circles and ; , ratijatirjg from them turn ; i,,,0kWArds at a speed equal to the ,, kr..ri,intinT1 i,f the machine over! , 1 1 T l It t 'J" s - S : rrround. The staffs overlay . . . each other, thus covering complete- y tfae entire Rpat.e from oue s5de of machine to the other. At the .1.""- . . .. a 1 riut iana 8jtie Gf the machine i 'ir of shafts lor the horse or mute to I L.tt.-hed to an equalizing bar, - i ... .m. . t.AM!A .oiva n ! - - THY COD S.

In coin - .nto the cot ton. neiti one ot the wheels goes ; in one auey, ine other ..wheel goes j in n.e other alley, the horse walks : in the light hand alley in front of the right hand wheel, and the row j of cotton plants passes thror.gh the ' centre of the machine Itetween the series of picking staffs. As the ma- Jclune moves forward the cotton plants of course pass back t hrough it, and as the backward motion of'1 the picking staffs is exactly equal : to the backward motion .f the ! plants, the stafl's enter the plant " and come out again at 'the same point. '' In other words tm plant is ; not torn oi jostled in an ajqiret ia- i ble extent in its passage through J the staffs. Now. to understand how ! the staffs -accomplish the pu king of : cotton irom the bolls, the eonstrm tion of the staffs themselvt be understiHul. They are mnstj IIOIIOW cylinders uf sheet brass, are an inch and a half in diaineb-r. eight inches long, and have a conical shaped point which allows them to insert then.selves easily let weeii the t igs and branches of the plant. The surface of the staffs is perforated ; with nuinlK-rs of eliptical sha-d ; ...vo, ...j.- ,,,ll.,u!(!.),irH-i stiarp pointed teeth which are atl justed the thickness of the metal below the surface of the staffs. Thus the outer surface of the staff' is smooth as a piece of polished brass, aud in passing the hand or any substance not fibrous over them the teeth are not felt. The moment, however, the staffs come in contact with the cotttm the fibre sinks down into the opening in which the teeth are set and is caught by the sharp points of the I teeth. Now the picking staff's be- sides their rotary motion backwards around the. perpendicular -.shafts irom wnicn they ramate . nave an indeiM-udeut motion around their own axes, first in tme direction and then in another. While in the plant and in contact with the open bolls they turned iu the direction' to which the teeth point. In this way the teeth pull out the cotton from the 1. Kills and the staff's then pass out 'of the plant ami by their rota- i rv motion .around the shaft convey 1 the cotton they have attached-, to them round to the opposite sides of the shafts which are boxed in as recepticles for holding the ''.cotton. When the staff's have reached these receptacles they reverse motion, and the cotton is wiped offthein by lit tle leather straps into the side box es. The cotton Caen falls upon 'a piece of canvass belting, which turns like an endless apron and conveys it to the back of the ma chine, where it is caught by an ele vator and taken up to the top of the machine, and thrown into two bags wiiich are adjusted at the back. These bags hold about seventy-five pounds of cotton each, and when filled are detached by the tl river and others adjusted to take take their 1 place. Thus one man can with ease drive the horse and deposit the cotton in the bags at the ends of the rows, whence it can be conveyed by cart or hand to the cotton house, as is now done in sheets from the field. Ti.e double motion which the stags have is ob tained by the use of friction rollers brought into contact with upper ami lower friction plates. The me chanism is beautifully simple and not in the least liable to get out of order. As teeth of . the staff's eanuot possibly catch hold of any thing but -tbe cotton, they are not subject to being injured. In pass ing through the field the staffs,turn so evenly and rapidly that it is im- jMissible to see when they reverse their motion. All that can 'be seen is that they pass-out of the plant white with the cotton, throw it off' into the side boxes and dart again into anothtr bush for more. The whole machine weighs less than oOO iiounds and turns around in its length. When the horse reaches the end of a row he is turned into t lie next alley and one wheel acts as a pivot upon which the machine turn?, while the other wheel rolls into a new alley.
