Stacking and Curing Beans.

Cut good stiff poles, about eight feet long, so
as to have one or more limbs 2'1-2 feet from the
lower end. Cut the limbs off to six inches-in
lieu of the limbs 1 1-2 inch pins might be used
these will keep the beans off the ground. Set
the poles firmly in the earth and they are ready
for use. Place a handful of beans across the
snag, and one across that on each side of the
pole; wind the tops around so that they will not
fall apart and build right up with the tops out,
and so that the stack shall not be over 2 IL
feet through. At the top of the stack the roots
should be turnd up and tied to the pole, to hold
them in place and turn off the rain, OF q little
straw can be used for a covering. If we'll put
up after this plan the rain will never soak into
them, while the air can circulate under and
through the stack. One set of poles, if housed
wnen not IN use, will last . great many years.

KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.

TINE fftieth volume of the Knickerbocker Magazine
i commenced with the number for July, 1859: and
it is the intention of the publisher to make great add.
tons to the literary merits of the work.-We take it
for granted there are but few magazine-readers in the
country who are not familiar with the authors of St.
Leger and the Sparrow Grass, both old contributors
to the Knickerbocker. We are pleased to be able to
announce that they will both write for our magazine
the coming year. MIR. Cozzens will contribute q new
and really original story which will appear in every
number; and Nh. Kimball will furnish a sketch OF q
story as often as his other duties will permit.
We have now two contributors not excelled by any
writer's in the country, namely Rev. F. w. Shelton and
Charles G. Leland. The first known as our "Up-Riyer
Correspondent" has written a series of letters, a part
Of which have been issued and extensively sold in a
beautiful illustrated volume, and the latter is now wri-
ting a series of Observations of Mace Sloper. which
ued regularly, and Mr.. Shelton will give a sketch or a
letter each month-We have also several highly &C.
complished lady contributors, whose faycrs will grace
our pages regularly, and whose names We would be
glad to publish, If we were permitted to do SO. With
these and other regular contributors and the Table of
Mr.. Clark, whose long experience has made him an
aulfaut in his department, we shall be able to present
q monthly literary treat so varied that no refined taste
can fail to be %gratfed.,
TERMs:-$3a year in advance. Two copies, SIS.

The Cotton Crop Of 1859.

The annual cotton statement for the year
1859 shows that the crop of the season just
closed reaches 8,851,4S1 bales, being 32S,636
in excess Of the largest year on record, 1885,,
The consumption of the world however, has
been on a par with this large yield, aud the av-
erage price obtained by the planter has even
been higher than in any previous year. The
exports to foreign ports necessarily show a con
siderable increase, while the quantity taken for
consumption in this country, including burnt
amounts to 925,651 bales, against 595,562 last
year.-The present season opens with prospects
Of a still larger crop, and prices are materially
lower than at this time last year, owing to the
much better accounts from the interior. Com
pared with 1850, the increase this year is 49,,
5l9 bales, and with 1857, 911,962.
