We are glad 10 that the people of Algiers while

A CONFLICT.-We take the following from a
Setter to the Cincinnati COMMERCIAL from Cairo:
between the civil and military authorities upon
the eternal uigger question. The United States
marshal Of this district claimed the right to take
a contrabaud captured at Fort Doneson, and
now employed by government at this point, and
return him 70 his master, said TO be a loyal Mis-
sourian. The provost marshal resisted, and de-
mauGed his authority. For a time there was a
prospect of a scrmmage, bur the promptness OF
the provost marshal prevented it, and the United
States marshal abandoned the claim

CULTIVATION OF THE WHITE BEAN-The
great ueed of American agriculture is good
lGliOw crop"-some plant that will stand
our hot dry summers, enrich the soil, and allow
the hoFse-boe to clean the land during its
growth, A plant in short, that shall occupy
the same place in oar rotation as the turnip
does in English agriculture.
The white bean comes nearer to this than
any other plant yet introduced, If the beans
are consumed on the farm,-as the turnips
always are iD EugaDd-their cultivation
won!d add materially to its fertility. There
eau be 10 doubt Oh this point All the Iegu
minous piants-iucluding clover, peas, vetch-
es, beans, etc contain large quantities of
nitrogen, and this when consumed by animals,
or piowed under is converted into ammonia
the very thing which we most need for the
growth of the cereals. Let us, then, grow
beans. No crop will grow better When
prices are good, as at present, they can be
sold ; and if prices fall, they can be fed out
on The farm with advantage.
In regard 10 their cultivation,we have writ
ten so much in previous volumes of the Genes
see Farmer, that little need be added at this
time They are grown on warm, light soil,
but will succeed on almost any soil if properly
cultivated For this, as fox all other crops,
the land should be well under drained, either
naturally or artfcialy The land may be
plowcd in the Fall and again in the Spring, and
mace clean and mellow before planting or
clover sod may be turned over and the beans
planted at once. The common white med-
um" is generally considered the most produc.
tive variety, but the White Mountain or Mar,
row yields nearly or quite as well, and brings
better price. 1t is little larger, rounder.
piumper, and handsomer, and is gaining in
popular esteem.
They may be planted in hills two and a
half feet apart and fifteen to eighteen inches
apart in tbe rows, dropping FIVE or six beans
In each hill or they may be drilled in with
a machine, in rows two aud half feet apart
and single bean two inches apart in the
rows. The latter. perhaps, gives the larger
erop but the former requires less labor i !
hoeins, etc. ;. In this section, they are usually
planted the arst week 10 June CAristion
