So it lias become a matter of self-defense for Southern farmers to raise their supplies as much as' possible at home. To arrange |j each farm so as to raise this will S require some thought on the part I. of each and every farmer. My ti object in writing this letter is to'tl bet you a-thinking about how to's arrange your farm to rais.-? these1 Hupplies. 11| If you want milk and butter. f\ you must have one or more cows.

"There are aonie shippers in America who claim that the Liverpool trade is altogether to! particular. It should heremeio-J bored, however, that this is tlie^ best foreign market for American cotton in the world, and nobody familiar with the condition in which our cotton arrives at Liverpool can dispute the claim that there is urgent need for reform. There is no other valuable product that comes into Liverpool Irom anywhere in the world so badiv protected, and on which then- is such a loss because of careless packing and handling. as American cotton. Some ino!itli> am) an export connected with the Liverpool Marine Sal-1 vane association went to tliej I nited States, on the suggestion J of representatives of the trade there, to investigate the subject j of country damaged cotton. This' gentleman. Mr. .Fames Mct'abe, is1 very emphatic as to the great carelessness of the cotton growers 1 and of the transportation com panics in the manner of protect-j ing cotton from 'country dam-: age.' He asserts also that the inspection at New York is not thorough enough, and he gives me a number nl instances, lie state* that there i* among the cotton growers a widespread opin ion that rain and mud do not lnjure cottrut.
