Agr,cuItural colony.

A small agricultural colony has
recently been settledupon land near
Salina, Kansas, by the cooperative
colony aid association OF New ork.
The colonists receive long credit for
their lands and small advances OF
money to put up buildings and buy
stock. seed and implements. They
will cultivate their principal crops
by cooperative labor, each family
having, however, its separative
homestead. BY the use OF tools,
work animals, barns, ETC., IN com
mon, considerable saving will be
effected in the first OUTLAWS OF the
settlers, and it is believed that the
cooperative plan for the main farm
operations will be found to be SO
evidently for the general advantage,
tightening labor and making its re-
turns more remunerative, that II
will be continued as permanent
feature of the colony. The colon
lists are industrious, intelligent peo-
pie from New York and Brooklyn
1t was first intended by the associa-
ton to plant them on the Cumber
land plateau of East Tennessee, but
the fact that considerable capital Is
required to clear the forests which
cover the plateau and engage in the
industries of fruit-culture and stock
raising, which are the most profit.
able vocations there, led to change
of plan. As the colonists are rHo
pie of very saaaiI MEANS 1T was
thought better to place them on
rich prairie soil where they can raise
marketable crops the first year. A
colony composed of families who
have the means to live for year OF
two while improving their farms
will be formed before long to settle
in Tennessee. The colony aid asso
citation is purely philanthropic en-
terprise, having no pecuniary inter
est in the lands it recommends te
settlers.-Record and Farmer.

The Virginia Granger" sounds a
keynote that is timely and has the
true ring for farmers of all parties.
"The time is near at hand when
they (the members of, Congress
will be again before you seeking
your votes and begging your surf
trage-and to listen to their elo-
quent tongues and plausible ha-
rangues, one would suppose that
they had exhausted every means to
accomplish the work the agricul-
tural people had asked them to do.
The duty of the Agricultural masses
will be to require them to show
wherein they made any effort, and
to give the cause of the failure. Pol
itical excitements and partizan pre-
jucice can never cure the evils of
which we complain, and is the sure
way to perpetuate them. Show
your own platform, demand that the
man who proposes to represent you
shall stand squraely upon it, or else
withhold your suffrage"

A .Stand'' of Cotton.

Opinions differ about what con-
situtes stand" says the Southern
CAltivation. We are becoming con-
WINGED that as a general rule, cotton
is left too thick, is too much crowd
ed. On land that will yield 500 to
1000 pounds seed cotton, one stalk
20 to ID inches apart is enough.
This distance is readily given bv
chopping out at first with a No. 2
hoe, about eight inches wide, and
cutting out every other hill at the
second hoeing. Some think that
crowding hastens maturity; possibly
it does inc some cases, but this is
overbalanced by the using up of so
much plant food in making stalk
instead Of fruit. Besides, there can
be but little doubt that in severe
drouth, crowded cotton suffers more
than that having good distance.
Another very great advantage of
good distance is the greater ease
with which the cotton can be work
ed, and the consequent saving of
labor. If less than 20 inches be-
tween the plants is desired, make
the first chopping with a still mar
rover hoe; but it is always good
policy to chop out every other hill.
The advantage over chopping to
final distance at first is: that the
chances of a good stand are doubled:
if one hill dies out another is left, but
if another dies out in the other case
a wide gap is left. In any event, be
sure to have the space between the
hills wider than the hoe, for, if just
the same width, more care and
therefore more time is requisite to
hoe through without cutting the
cotton, or at least bruising it and
giving it "sore SHIN" The hoeing
should be very light, just deep
enough to take off the crust and
any young grass which may be
present. 1t is very injurious to
young cotton to have it fall down,
from too much dirt having been ia
ken from it.

A committee appointed by the
Maine State Grange three or four
months ago to investigate the beet
sugar manufacture, have issued their
report, in which occurs the follow
ing: at is evident.that beets at SIS
per ton, without the State bounty
the business could not be continued;
it is also evident that the farmers can
not afford to raise beets at lower
price than hitherto paid The re-
port. however, makes plain the fact
that when farmers started under
favorable circumstance and with a
knowledge of the culture required,
their crops were in every instance
remunerative.

Wore than Two Bales to the

" Acre. ~
To the Editor of Cotton: A prac-
ticai commentary on the value OF the
improved methods of cotton culture
TO which you allude is furnished by
Mr.. 7. 7. Crump, of this county.
The result of his process was 1870
pound of ginned cotton to the acre
in 1870, and close upon 1900 pounds
during the past season. Mr.. Crump
prepares his land in December by
dioging holes three feet from
each other, each eighteen in
ches square and eighteen inches
deep; these holes he fills with ma
nure to within four inches of the top,
and the remainder of the way with
the top soil. At the usual season ne
plants with a view to having three
stalks to a hill, and piles the clay
from the bottoms of the pits as deep
over their tops as the supply Will
admit of. with view to keeping
down the grass, and then cultivates
with hand and hoe, never allowing
a plow TO be used. The preparation
is made in December in order to
subdue the fiery qualities of the
fertilizer, and the holes when pre-
pared will make at least three crops
witout changing their contents-the
second crop generally being the
best and the first and third about
the same. This blan has COTTON be-
pond the sphere of experiment, and
there is no longer necessity tor
man to scrape over dozen acres
when he can obtain more cotton and
better cotton by cultivating two or
three by Mr. Crump's process. H.

Five and half million bales is

Five and half million bales is the
estimate of the cotton crop pro-
duced last season in the Southern
States, which is about five hundred
thousand bales more than was pro-
duced 1873. The average price of
the crop of 1879 may be set down
at $50 per bale, which gives as its
value $275,ooo.ooo. The average
l-,rice per bale of the crop of 1873
WIS about $35, giving an aggregate
of asI75,ooo,ooo. 1t will be seen
that the last crop yielded 100000,
900 moe to the planters than that
of 1S7S-.a large sum, indeed, to OBJ
tain in one year as the increased
value of sin gle crop.

The members of several Oranges
in this county are becoming thor
oughly aroused to the necessity of
establishing cooperative store at
this place. The strong, telling let
tiers of Past Master Maxwell that
have appeared in our columns have
made the principles and practices
of the Rochdale system so clear to
our leading Patrons, and his state
ments of the success of the store at
Oxford, in this State, encouraged
them SO much, that they have taken
the initiative steps which will result
IN the organization of County Co.
operative Association and probably
OF several local Cooperative Asso-
Cations. The way is open for an
enterprise of this kind, and we
greatly mistake the spirit of the
men who have the matter in hand
II 1t is not pushed to an early and
splendid success. A cooperative
store established in this city on the
true plan and with the right kind
OF men in charge of it would in a
few months be the largest business
house here. The operations of these
Associations would be greatly ex.
pedited by the aid and services oil
the Southwestern Cooperative AS
ISOLATION at New Orleans, from
winch they can purchase stocks OF
goods on the cooperative plan and
OF course at great advantage. We
would suggest to the Patrons who
nave this movement in hand in this
county, to put themselves in com.
munIcation with Mr.. Thomas 7
Sarver, General Manager of the
Southwestern Cooperative Associ.
alton at New Orleans, who can give
them all needful information in or
