The Cotton Situation in Mississippi
and Louisiana.

Jas S Richardson, the most extern
sivc planter in the country, and who
owns immense plantations in Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, in a letter to q
correspondent at ST. Louis. writes Of
the cotton crop as follows: Il have
some cotton planted the first week in
April. and IL is just coming up Ihave
some cotton with stalk seven or eight
inches high, with eight or nine leaves
on it. dotted along four or five and six
feet between these stalks while the
balance of the seed is just sprouting.
This is caused by exceedingly dry
weather. We have had no moisture
to bring the seed up. The land was
broken up wet. and we have had dry
weather ever since. As a conseque n CO
the land was cloddy and the cotton
planted in the clods. rs wo had no
rain to melt them and could not wait
for it before planting. when we were
already so far behind. Negroes are
not working we'll; they are working.
but in a don't care sort of way, aud
not with a will. Cotton brought a
good price and negroes made money,
and as they did not spend it as fast as
usual. they have some left and we
can't do any thing with negro with
money. He is Independent. l am
well pleased with our prospects in
louisiana. Lind Is in very much
better fix than in Mississippi We
had no crops over there last year on
account of an overflow. We did a
great deal of fall aud winter plow-
ing. which made the land in good
fix for spring planting"

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.
which Opens In Cincinnati July 8.


No event of the past decade has created
as much interest in the whole country as
the coming of the Centennial Exposition OF
the Ohio Valley and Central States, which
opens its doors in Cincinnati on the nations
birthday July Al, to continue for one hun
dred days and nights-a celebration in honor
Of the one hundredth anniversary Of tho
settlement of the Northwest Territory.
Unlimited means have been placed at the
disposal OF the managers by the enterpris-
Ing business element Of the Queen City, and
nothing is being left undone that win con-
duce to the success Of the undertaking. In
stead of q LOCALS some suppose-it is q
National event. made SO by the hearty CO.
operation on the part Of a dozen Of the chief
States in the Union, and the encouragement
given it by the fact that ''Uncle Sam" in
tends to make an exhibit Of his own Of the
treasures stored away in Washington City
An appropriation for the moving and care
OF which has been recommended by Con-
gressional Committee to whom the matter
was referred.
The guarantee fund Of one million and
fifty thousand dollars, which the Board Of
Commissioners have at their command, has
enabled them to provide magnificent quar-
already offered, and these, in conjunction
with the permanent building in which nu-
merous Expeditions on q smaller scale have
been held, and which cost over one million
dollars, will give to this affair better facili-
ties than were ever enjoyed by any thing Of
the kind ever held in this country, not ex-
cepting the famous Exposition in Philadel-
phia in 1870 The area Of exhibiting space
will be about ION 600 square feet. The tenn
porary buildings, when ready for occu-
pancy, will have cost no less than quarter
Of o million of dollars, and are models Of
architecture, combining all the elements
necessary for the uses to which they win
be put.
The Exposition has been advertised for
the past year In q mastery manner, and
there Is no section Of the country that has
failed to hear Of the great event. Applica-
tons for exhibiting space have been re-
ceived In abundance from every cline, and
tire success, both artistically and finan-
sally.

A Voice From Florida.

In the region of Tampa Bay we have

but prices were good. The prospect
is good for large crop for 1888;

the 'yellow-fever scare which pre-
vailed through the fall. Tampa is.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Living Improvement. on the Farm.


The farmer who changes for the bet
ter either plant lif, or animal life as it
passes from one generation to another
improves a vital power that extends
back toward the birth of the planet no
one knows how far and may extend
into the future with all possible inn
provements until no future shall exist
Attention is invited to that growing
vitality which has developed so large
a larry interest in this country and
Europe from very small beginnings.
In the first, second and third decades
Of this century Orange County.
N. Y. became famous for its delicious
butter. and by choice selection and
wise exclusion families of native cows
Of rare excellence were bred. whose
parental blood had great value. A
statement of an Orange County farmer
lies before the writer. and is believed
10 be true. that says. in substance. o

writer's memory. Valuable cows of
excellent blood have been killed by
overlooking. Treat nature with more
respect. and do not expect a miracle
from either plant life or animal life.
There is usually little more sugar in
milk than butter. and this sugar ought
10 be worth more for human con-
stump ion than 10 feed to pigs in whey
or buttermilk.
But how does an Orange County
farmer put 6SS pounds OF gilt-edged
butter in q cows milk in nine months?
OF course there is plenty Of grass
sweet, green corn. and as much corn
oil or cotton-seed oil as can be taken
and not faint the product. The COW
that yields three pounds of choice
butter day can hardly be said to eat
butter or drink butter. but she does
the next thing to 1t. She has deeply
bred taste for rich. fatty cow-feed-a
preternatural growth, which may not
lie quite sound or desirable. This
power to form three pounds of butter
in twenty-for hours is the vital
growth of ten or fifteen generations Of

The mechanical condition of the
soil has much to do with the growth
of crops. Lumps, clods and crusts are
draw backs. The harrow and culti-
vator should be used wherever needed.
1t is better and healthier to let
hens that want to set do so if one has
the convenience. IC is most natural
for Them to take rest from laying.
The eggs from such hens are more
likely to be fertile.

the coops in small colonies rather than
have them all together The birds
thrive better if the colonies are at
