The Cation Crop.


 The New Orleans price current of the 2nd inst, gives full and interesting history of the extent of operations in this great staple, from which we learn that the crop of the past year rom 10th September 1899 to 3lsi August, is5o,l amounts to 2,730.0 900 bales, an excess of 33O.OO0 bales over aay pre- viOas crop. and yet the aggregate of the stock at Liverpool and a, the shipping ports of this country did not vary materially from the quantity on hand at the same points tue year previous thus demon s.rating the very important fact that consumption had than kept pace with production; for 1t is above referred to was Of the product of lsT. The demonstration of this interesting fact respecting consumption, coupled with the certainty that the then growing crop would fall largely short of that which immediately preceded 1t. caused planters gen. eray to raise their expectations of prices 10 high, aud in some instances to an extravagaat stsndard; and thus 1t is probable that some parties have met with disappo atment. though the average return to the producer has been greater than n any year since ls39.
 The 6rst bale of the new crop (some 2so pounds) was received ou the Huh August. being only four days later than the first receipt last year. We sup pose i however. 10 be toerably well understood by this time that these ambitious first bales are no liable index Of the general forwsrdness of the crop, and up to this date have received only e bales against 47T bales to same date lsss year. and 6s+6 in isS5. the latter being ths largest quantity of now crop ever received sp to lss September Of the few bales received sny about B have been sold. at . range of i3t<tSis sts. v ib. the latter fancy price for . single bale.

The question has been raised ho.c far
JudicIous man would haul, if it were
gicea IL nan, barn-yard manure, accumu-
lated under the usual circumstances.
What are they? Made only from the ofIal
OF corn and wheat and other grain in open
yards, exposed TO be drenched and TO have
the life washed out of it not only with
every rai1, but with the water falling from
the unspouted roofs OF the barn and
stables.
The too common error of farmers is TO
value manure by the hulk rather than by
the itaAIy. One might as well value a
woman or a man in the same way. No,
its the spirit. the essence. that gives value
to the one aud the other For some things,
frequent washing is to be commended, bu,
not for monurc.
