and abroad, and so far as present observation is
concerned, have not yet met with the instance, in
which the improger of the animal not also found
to be the improyer of the soil. We have further
knowledge through reliable publications. and oral
testimony of persons and countries not coming under
our observation, and we venture the assertion.
that instance in proof of the above can scarcely
be found within the entire range of savage and CIV
ilised society. Where the general farm stock has
been inteligently bred and cared for by the owner
of both land and stock the soil has invariably par
ticipated with the stock in its Improvement The
very presence of the animals on the land implies
this the crops consumed on the premises, and
the manure returned to the fields, is more than
compensation for the crops which feed the animals
Look at the countries most distinguished for the i'm
proyement OF farm stock-England, Scotland, and
Holland and where is so much improvement of soil
visible on any other equal surface of the globe?
We do not bring into this question, the partial
improvement of some particular quadruped, or one
OF its families as of the Arab racer, the Italian grey
hound, nor the Dalmatian coach dog. Nor would
we admit as illustrating this question: some sporting
genius, who had given very particular attention to
an improved lot of fighting cocks fancy pigeons, fox
hounds, or troting and racing horses for the very
constitution of mind which leads to the indulgence
of this partial or morbid TASTE disquafes for the
pursuit of the higher and more comprehensive tai
ent, which is embodied in the nobler improvement
OF the varied utitarian qualities Of farm stock
We hope the observation which has led to these
remarks may not be repeated by intelligent writer's
as 1t affords an excuse for some very good delivers
who are wonderfully pains taking and successful in
raising fine quantity of forage roots and grain to
feed to the most worthless lot of brutes that were
ever suffered to infest Christendom.

The largest Crop OF Wine made in the South.

which will show to what extent this branch of indus

My crop of grapes and wine, so far as know are
the largest ever made in our southern country,

two months there were constant or daily applca-
tons for grapes and visitors at the some time par

Now, at SO cents per gallon, or 81 per bushel it
is possible to realise $2400 from one acre. for the
rate of 600 bushels per acre can be had. But even
$4,000 is enough of agricultural product in all
