to the 1uDilSneTS OH DuSIiitSs makes the following remarks, in reference to the season and crops. which We take the liberty ofpub- fishing:

 "The lice are destroying our cotton pretty extensively, and from the continuance of cool nigh's, we expect them to do their depredations for some time to come. The plant is far be- hind its growth at this time last season; and if the insect contin- ues, the stand will be left very poor. The injury is already so great that good season and late frost will be necessary to a fair crop. Corn appears backward. Wheat is yielding well this sea son, though the crop in this re- zion is, of course, small. Res pectfulIy yours, &c."

 Tn Georgia we have heard much complaint from almost ev- cry section of the State, of the unpropitious and backward char acter of the season, The spring opened unusually late, and tine frequent occurrence of destruc- tive hail storms, and tic preya- fence of Northeast winds, ac- companied with chilling rains till late in May, have thus far exercised an unhappy influence on the growing crops, and at present the prospect of the hus- bandman foran abundant harvest is by no means cheering.

 The cotton and corn crops, ill every section from which we have authentic information, are from three to four weeks later than usual, and must necessarily require genial seasons to afford all average crop of either. In many places, both together with wheat and oats, have been seri- ously injured, and in others en- ,irely destroyed by the very des- tructive character of the hail storms. In South Carolina, too, the season (except the. hail, of which we have not heard, has been equally uncongenial 10 the rapid growth of the crops, and there much complaint is also heard of the unfavorable appear ance of the corn and cotton crops. Difference ina IEsc Quantity of Nsilk.

 Farmers ill general arc not aware Of the great difference there is in the richness of milk. In butter dairies, especially, this IS point which deserves attcn- ton. The mere fact that q COW gives a large quantity of milk, is scarcely any evidence of her value for the production of but ter. It is bat short time since we heard a farmer state that he had q COW which would give from 20 to % quarts per day, and he had till last summer al ways considered her first rate COW; but it then happened that her milk was set separately for butter, when it was proved that only about four ounces per day conld be obtained. This may be called an extreme case but let the milk of various COWS be fairly tried, and a surprising diff ference will often be seen. Mr. Newell, in his address before the Essex County (Mass ) Agricul. turaf Society, observed that ac- cordlng to his observation, there is much less uniformity in ,he milk of what we call native cows, than in that of the Ayr shTes and Alderneys. He says: !" A few years ago I made lit tie experiment to tcs. the quail ty of the milk of sixteen cows. A gallon of each cows milk was set by itself, and after standing twenty-four hours the cream from each was churnd by itself. and the quantity of butter ian ged from 3 to g ounces" Thus 1t is seen that while the milk of some cows afforded pound of butter to every s quarts, it re- quired more than 2l quarts of the milk of some others to make kl, n
