We are straining every nerve and

crop cotton,
the GROSS value
of which goes to the north and west

we would now have an abundance of
everything to supply our home demand,
and instead of would a crop of HOOO,000 bales of at

The reason given for exercising this
extreme, cleatilipess is, that it is now
known that all tho changes of decompo
sition in the milk from healthful uni
mala, are due to the introduction into
tlie milk, after it is drawn from the
cow, of low forms of life. These germs
cause souring, make the milk ropy, blue,
