planting time drew near, for cotton
seed jor planting. Is it not strange
that people should he s. foolish as to
dispose of all their cotton seed and
then beg from their neighb"rs to
plant, when the price obtained for
the seed is nothing compared to what
would result if they fcrti|ized their

4 Want of cooperation. But there
are other questioDs-very important
oues-vhich we wish to see answered
by the. intelligent farmers and plant
ers of Louisiana-we will come to
them presently. English farmers
meet once week to discuss the state
of the crops and ascertain the area in
cultivation, the value Of their pro-
duets, etc. Every county has its
farmers clubs for gathering and dis
seminating Information respecting
the area planted, its condition, the
prospective prices for farm produce
and other important matters. These
clubs have their committees to attend
to the various departments, ." that
each member can have the advantage
of tho experience and wisdom OF all
the others.
Every fall these clubs hold their
town and cpnnty fairs, and by these
mtaus all the farmers Of a county are
brought into constant contact with
each other. and with other business
men, and these farmers are generally
successful aud p,"sper"us-n"lwith-
standing they pay rents ranging from
| So to 80 per acre for every foot that
they cultivate. If the farmers Of this
State wish to be masters of their own
| businpss they must unite with each
other for that purpose if they would
br independent, prosperous and hap
nv, let them develop a system Of in
trt|igent, practical, reciprocal co'"pe-
.tiou. The aim Of every farmer
should be to effect thorough organ'-
cation in every parish.
The necessity of such organizations
is apparent on every hand. This Is :,
popresSive age, and he who would

the spirit Of progress and improve

must infnsc high degree of intelli
pence INTO their business transactions
both agricultural aud commercial
syste,natize their labor, and learn to
Increase the productive capacity Of
the soil, with the view of securing Il
fair return for capital invested and
labor expended. thereby enabling
them to adopt those rules and rcgnlA
tons of bnsi,iess-life which yield
such satisfactory results in CONNER.
cial and manufacturing pursuits.
The Grange is admirably adopted
for these purposes, and it was hoped
that the movement in this State
would accomplish these desirable
euds, !but hitherto it has utterly fail.
ed except in tw" or three parishes
These must be some reason or Ira-
sons for this failure; and this brings
us to the questions, which we propose
to PROFOUND to our practical farmers
and planters:
|. why has not snch cooperation
been effected heretofore !
2. Are there any good and sufficient
reasons why snch a system of ca: ope

Most Butter From Scalded Milk.

Mr.. Charles Day, Orleans county,
N. Y, states that one Of his neigh
doris IL in the habit Of scalding the
milk in her dairy, and he wishes to
know If the cream will really rise any
Quicker "and will there be any more
cream by the scaltling, and, If so,
why ''- To which l answer, it is true
that scalding milk while fresh from
the COW or perfectly sweet aud set
ting it while hot in shallow vessels
for the cream to rise makes the cream
rise more radidly than to set it 10 the
same way without scalding, and there
will be slight increase Of butter
There are several reasons for this: |.
Cream rises faster when milk is hot
than hen it is cold, all other c"ndi-
t,ons being the same. Hence the hot
milk sends up its cream sooner than
the milk set at lower temperature.
Notwithstanding the loss Of water 6y
increased evaporation, heated milk is
thipne. or more fluid than milk not
aca|ded. This result is probably
occasioned BY the destruction of
organic germs killed in scaldi"g' The
living germs hinder tho ascent OF the
cream. 8. Cream rises faster when
the temperature Of the milk is falling
than when it is stationary, and milk
set hot has a wider range OF temper"
ture to fall through than that not
scalded, aud sends its cream to the
surface more perfectly. There is a.
ways q part Of the cream left back in
the milk, but, for the reason given,
there is less left back in the scalded
than 10 the unscalded milk. 4: The
cream from, the scalded milk churns
easier than that from milk not scalded,
and hence churns more completely,
leaving less upehurned cream in the
battermilk. Hence a little more
butter is the general result Of scalded
and setting 10 shallow vessels. The
cream, however, is less bulky but
moro rich m butter 10 hot than in cold
sotting.-L. B. Arnold iu Tribune

clods--utterly unfit to receive the

and could not stop to harrow the
land before sowing. Planting is very
often done on land that is not half
itted. And, as it wonId he natural
to EXPECT, a man who is in too much
hurry to get his land in good order t"
plant is generally in too great haste
to thoroughly cultivate the growing
crop. He runs the cnttivator or
horse-hoe between the rows once or
twice during the season, and thinks
th;s ia all he can afford to do. But
here he makes a gyeat mistake.-one
of the greatest mistakes which, he can
make in lis whole business. By this
course he greatly diminishes his crops
and reduces his profits, for the profit
of farm crops lie in la,ge yield per
acre. A small yield only pays ex-
penses. Aud it is the haste with
which the land is prepared and the
neglect which the crop receives which
occasions the low yields of Which 9"
many farmers complain, and which
bars the way to success in their bust

perience and observation, that it is
useless to run over our land. we
ought not to plant more than we can
cultivate thoroughly. If We have
already got too large an area planted
let us hire extra help and cultivate
the crop we'll. Another year we can
plant less. Less planting and more
cultivation would be a good mott" tor

The finer we make the soil, the nicer
the bed in which to put the seed, the
easier and faster the plants can OBJ

of which We have been slow to take
the advantage, but one which we
ought to understand and apply: 1t

fact that mutton can he produced at
less cost per pound than either. 1t
is dcnlonstrahle, that bnslel Of corn

the farmer who is usually compelled
to do his own slaughteriug and cnr-
