PLANTERS DEPARTMENT.
Plantation Stock.

A SUGGEsTIoN.-l have heard several plant
crs com plaining recently Of having lost valuable
mules during the night. They say their mules
we're turned i'll the lot at dark perfectly well, and
when their negroes would 90 to the lot to catch
them in the morning they were found dead. /
asked what they supposed to be the cause, and
ti.eir reply was, that they did not know unless
they were oycr-heated when turned loose, and
cat and drank too freely whilst in that situation.
This, is what | have attributed it to. Don't
y0N THINK lam righH for there is not a year that
passes away without some Of our planters losing
fine stock in this way. I know Of one planter
who has lost three of his best mules within the
past three blowing seasons, and he says he is
contidant that they died from drinking toomuch
Wnter whilst hot. | myself have had mules
and horses to suffer severely by the same neg
!i@ence, forldo call it negligence and nothing
vj5e, for here We have all been suffering for years
by not having given orr earlier attention to this
aHbiect. There certainly is a remedy for it, and
I think it cur duty to find it out and attend to it;
cNe has suggested itself to me, and one, too,
Tint will cost nothing at all, and can be applied
without much trouble. | have mentioned it to
one of my neighbors whohighly approves ofthe
idea, and says he intends to try it certain, and
thanked me very kindly for the suggestion, and
he legged Of NE to send it to the Southern
CUltivator, as he was sure it would do much
goodif the planters would give their attention
~ it,. So here it is, simple and cheap, as have
said before: Run q fence just behind your lot
cate, cutting of about onc-tourth or fifth of the
lot, or as much Of it as will give your mules and
horses room to walk about, wallow, and allow
than every night to remain in this enclosure
long enough to cQol themselves before being
admitted to the true lot where their food and
drink shall be prepared for them. This is my
idea, and if you think it worth publishing, you
are welcome TO i~t.-So1aheTn Cuhir0t0r.
