For Cotton Planters.

The following, which we clip from an
exchange, will be valuable for the cotton
planters:
A portable cotton seed oil mill, which
has Just been invented, will, it is said,
end the dispute between the planters and
the oil men of the South. Instead of
growing about the transportation, the
planter will, ere long, express his own
cotton seed oil, and have the meal and
hulls right on his land in the best posi-
BILE condition for fertilizing, and there
will be an increased production of the
oil, which has come to be accepted as in
valuable in cooking. A portable mill
that has been tested took the seed as it
came from the gin and extracted forty
five and half gallons of oil from two
thousand pounds of seed. c

Those hOrridimmortelles appear at last
to have gone out of fashion, and think
1T good thing; they always appear to
me to give such tawdry air to ceme-
terry ; a place for the dead should have an
air of rest and complete repose; tawdry
things jar on ones feelings and seem to
emphasize the horror of death. Funerals
and weddings always absorb an immense
amount of white flowers, consequently
there is a greater demand for them than
colored, for they always look well by
artificial light and are also used as foil
to colored ones. r. Double flowers as a
general rule are better than single ones,
as they are usually less perishable. As
to the best means Of packing l must con-
Tess myself at present ignorant, but
think that with certain flowers there
would be no great difficulty. Even If
flowers were unlikely to pay, their Gull
ture is comparatively inexpensive way
of living amongst beautiful surroundings
Adam was first dreamy gardener till
Ewes fondness for fruit lost him his
place; and woman's love of flowers is a
vague instinct of leading man back to
Eden. feel sure that the ladies of
Florida, whose energy has done so much
to tone the ugliness of all new towns,
will not neglect an industry where their
good taste is so needed.

The Cow for Florida.

The best milking COW to stand the eli
mate of Florida is yet to be found. Jer-
sey's have been mostly imported for the
purpose, but of hundreds we have seen
brought here we do not know Of one that
has lived over two years the greater num-
Der dying before they have been here six
months. The small Guinea COWS have
done very we'll so far, but their supply of
milk does not come up to the standard,
seldom exceeding six or eight quarts per
day,-not more than we'll fed Florida
raised COW. 1t would pay some one to
breed milking cows from the best OF our
country raised heifers with imported
bulls. Other breeds that have been
brounght into the State have done bet
ter than jerseys, but they have been SC
few III numbers that no conclusion as to
the adaptability can be arrived at. We
must breed our own.

The following is the editorial:
DON'T GO TO FLORIDA.
The very interesting letter on Florida,
to be found in another column of this pa
per, is from Mr.. HI. r. Enoch, an old
journalist, but who before he became a
Journalist was practical farmer in Illi-
nois. He knows how to write and what
to write about to interest his readers.
His truthful description of that country,
forlom in winter and scorched in sum
mer, and desolate and deadly always,
will, it is hoped, serve to dispel any illu-
sions in regard to it that, perchance.
some readers of the Press may have.
ltwould be more seasonable to print
this letter in the fall. The Florida craze
is in all cases off in the summer. We all
are hot, and melting, and seemingly
wasting away to grease spot; we could
not endure to be. where the SUMS rays
are any more fierce and burning. We
could not, indeed, wish our enemy the
misery of being in any hotter place-in
this world-than Central New York when
the sun is in power. But when the
melancholy days of November" arrive,
and we begin to face the blasts of winter,
then the tempter-the devil himself
most likely-in the shape of a Florida
real estate agent, or the agent of some
transportation company who also has de-
signs on our ultimate credulity, will
tempt us sorely. Then we shall be wise
if we read once again Mr.. Enoch's valu-
able letter. This paper is worth being
carefully laid away, for this very pur-
pose. We are thus strenuous in regard to
it, because we know that every year
scores of good men with families are fool
ed and lured by these conseienceess
spectators, in sand that cannot yield a
subsistence, and in swamps that certain
ly do and must produce that which kills
those who settle among them.

Abuse Of Florida.

One r. H. Enoch, who says that he
came to Florida about year ago and set
tied at Lake George, on the st. Johns
river, has written letter to the Utica,
New York, Daily Press, full of abuse
against the State and can see no good in
its climate or resources, and is even down
on orange culture. We suppose Mr..
Enoch in his own self esteem, had set
tied in some location where chills and
fever are prevalent during the summer,
without asking the advice of those who
knew the country, and has suffered fol
his ebstinaey. He can find plenty of
places in the State of New York where
chills and fevers are as prevalent as they
are in the low hammock lands of Florida
and certainly more fatal. What amuses
us most is the vindictive manner will
which the Press has taken it up, tc
abuse the State and all in it.. We cal
afford to laugh at this childish display o
luminosity, when SO many people of vel
known reputation can vouch to the con
tary. We advise the editor of the Pres
to look at the weather report of his tow
and then that of any Locality in Florids

Deutzias are always popular, and will
grow easily if obtained in the winter
when they have lost their leaves. Deut-
zia gracilis is themost popular, but some
of the double forms Of d. crenata would
travel better. Candidissima probably
would answer best. Some Of the follow

Easter or Christmas. Chrysanthemums,

A. Dellori is a winter bloomer; the

grown out of doors. Some very double
varieties are apt to burst their calices,
| and should be tied round with piece OF
cotton before opening. Cloves and
Picotees are perfect flowers, but would,
I'fear, as general, rule, be too late for
the northern market. Indian pinks,
especially the new superbus strain, are
easy to grow and bloom early.
l Nioletsa are another popular flower, and
if annually divided and replanted in a
cool situation, ought. to bloom we'll; the
double ones are the most desirable. and
the double blue Neopolitan is most gen.
orally used, though Saul offers many
other varieties, amongst them Bella de
Chatenay, which is sometimes an awful
fraud. The violet is the badge of the Bo-
napartists, and on a certain anniversary
every admirer Of Napoleon wears a bou-
quet of violets, just as in England on the
anniversary of Beaconfeld's death every
conservative wears primrose, and in

A Curious Disease.

The London Medical Record quotes
.ome Information regarding a strange
disease that is met with in Siberia and
known to the Russians by the name Of
'.Miryachit. The person affected
seems compelled to initiate ANYTHING he
hears or sees, and an interesting account
is given of steward who was reduced
to pefect state of misery by his ina
bility to avoid initiating everything he
heard and saw. One day the captain
of the steamer, running up to him, sud-
denly clapping his hands at the same
time, accidentally slipped and fell hard
on the deck. Without having been
touched the steward instantly cIapped
his hands and shouted; then, in help
less imitation, he, too, fell as hard, and
almost precisely in the same manner
and position as the capita n. This dis
ease has been met with in Java, where
it is known as '.lata." In the case of a
female servant who had the same irlu-
sistible tendency to initiate her mis-
tress, the latter, one day at dessert,
wishing to exhibit this peculiarity, and
catching the woman's eye, suddenly
reached across the table, and Selling
large French plum, made pretense to
swallow it whole. The woman rushed
at the dish and put 3 plum in her
mouth, and, after severe choking and
semi-asphyxia, succeeded in swallow
ing it; but her mistress never fried the
experiment again"

When he doesn't carry ont an order

sheep, to take them to the right. then
to the left. After this he is sent on tho
trail of lost sheep. with instructions
to bring it back slowly. The most i'm
portant lesson, and one young Shep
has not yet learned, is that of go
ing among the flock, and finding out
if any of them are missing. This, -
may be imagined, is by no means an
easy task with q flock of eighty-two
ewes and sixty-nine lambs. But old
Shep can do it. for he knows every
member Of the flock, though TO tho
ordinary observer they all look almost
exactly alike. Indeed, old Shep can,
ii his master. the shepherd. is not mis-
taken, perform a l, at more wonderful
than this. The shepherd SAYS that
Shep, when uncertain whether some Of
the flock have not strayed up tho
bridle-path on their way home, while
he was busy in keeping Troublesome
boys away, will take his stand at the
gate of the fold and touch each sheep
with his fore-paw as it passes in. At
such times he has the air of farmer
counting his cattle as they come home
at night, and he wears an expression
as if his mind were occupied with an
intricate sum in addition. Whether he
is really counting the sheep or not can
not be said positively; but he has been
known, after noting each sheep as it
passed. to rush off up the bridle-path
and return with a straggier. This does
much to prove that the shepherds as-
sertion that old Shep can count the
sheep is possibly not far from tho
truth-Franl1fu H. North, in 81. Meh-
