We met gentleman the other lny-an cmigrnnt
from Missouri, who detailed 10 us, what we have
heard vaguely rumorcd before-thc means rcsoried
to by persons in Grayson county to stop emisrants
and induce them to settle there. 1t represented
to this individual, that when he passed the bonnda-
RIGS of Grayson county, he would find nothing to cat.
Dallas county especially in most dcplorab'c con-
ditien Many of her citizens were actually "starv-
ing" The few that hada little corn aud pork to sell
held them at such prices as TO make 1t out Of the
question for an cmigrant of moderate means to buy,
&C., &c.
Now we audc to this subject once for all, for the
purpose Of saying that such statements alluded to
shove and all akin to them coined for the OCCASION
1t is the old worn out ''trck on Travellers" trick
that intelligent travellers ought to understand For
the bencG Of those who do understand it, we as
sert that Grayson county does not mcnopozc al! the
fertility, productyeness, breadSuf, "hog and hom-
inv" of Northern Texas 1t is a noble county
Astounding in rich aiHls and possessing all the adj
SantagOs of location, timber and water that an emil
grant seeks But there other counties that COM
biuc the same advantages. The counties of Collin,
Dallas, Denton, Kaufman, Tarrant, Parker, Ellis,
johnson and others adjoining, are equal at least to
Grayson, albeit the Overland mail does not pass
through some of them. We assert what We do know,
that there is the greatest abundance Of breadstuts
park, and, all the nrcessares CT life, i'll the counties
named and that emigrants can buy item as cheap
rs in Grayson Of elsewhere. We would scorn to mis-
represent facts to emigrants There is vast coun-
try in Texas for them to settle, magnificent heritage
for them to go up and possess. If they pitch their
tents in Dallas, very we'll If they cast their lots III
Grayson, Collin, Denton, Tarant, or in the new
t:untics West of u.s. very well 1t is oil glorious
country, and we warrant that nobody Will ,s'ar'e
in any of them. We admonsh our neshbors III
Grayson to 'slive and let live"

~ The following are the ruling prices for bread
stus, &c. in this county, at this tmc and OF these
prices, we are assured emigrants and others can
procure all they want, no matter how large may be
the demand Times are hard here for money and
produce plenty Corn from 60 to 90 cts per bushels
Wheat 10 cts. Flour 81 so to 80 per hundred lbs,

trical and atmospherical Influences, and do
ing the least amount Of injury to the roots
Of the plant, is the one most certain to pro-
duce the greatest yield Of staple or cotton
lint.
As soon as the young plants are above the
ground, commence its cultivation by running
around each side as close as it can be done,
covering all the cotton up except the buds
Of narrow streak in the centre Of the bed.
This operation il properly done. will save a
great deal Of hoeing. In about five or six
days alter the cotton has been run around,
which should be done with solid sweep.
the operation of chopping out may be COM
menced, and as soon as the hoes have gone
over it, it should again be pl0wed with a
sweep with two furrows to each row. The
hoes should now follow the plows, and put
the stalks Of cotton to the distance they are
intended to stand as much regularity il
this work, must be observed as possible; !;
placing each stalk in the rows half the dis.
lance the rows are apart. Commence plow-
ing the third time in about fifteen or twenty
days, run three or four burrows in each row
according to their width. Great care now
must be used not to let the pillow 60 too deep
the pillow used must be fiat sweep. Great
industry will be necessary now to get back
to the cotton to give it the fourth and last
blowing.
Much caution is required in this last OPP
GRAFTON. as many fields OF cotton are ruined
by the last blowing. The work should be
done with very fiat sweep running as shal.
low as possible, and far enough from the
stalks to prevent breaking the limbs and the
roots. The whole operation may be com
pleted with the hoes, by going over and cut
ting out all the struggling weeds, and lunches
Of grass that may have been left by the
plows. Yours truly,

SuBpiyIpE THE CATTLE YARps.-.In regard TO
the necessity for such division Of cattle yards
as will give equal opportunities TO the ami
mails confined therein. for progress and i'm
proyement, the Prairie Farmer says:
Large and small animals are turned in
promscuously together. and every farmer
knows that the larger ones are very feroeious
and domneering towards those much infer.
Or. but careful not to provoke the wrath Of
such as are nearly equal. Turn those to-
gether that are Of similar size, and they
will be more quiet. Calves generally are
too much neglected. and come out small and
puny in the spring. A good manager has a
spacious stable for calves in one Of his sheds
moderately lighted, and well sheltered from
al currents ii wind. This apartment is kept
clean, the calves fed on good hay. and sup
Piled with good water. They present very
different appearances from other calves in the
spring.

HUNGARIAN AND RYE GRASS.


Mn. EDITOR: The people Of the South
must turn their attention to other things
beside cotton, il they would be a thrifty in.
dependent people. We should raise not only
our corn, wheat, and oats, but we should put
down portion Of our land in grass for hay
and for grazing, if we desire to raise the
stock necessary TO supply our wants. Our
woods now produce very little grass, and we
must supply our stock with pasturage and
hay, or we must be contented with poor half
starved stock. will not some of our enter
prising farmers try the Rye Grass and the
Hungarian Grass
The writer has been told that the Rye
Grass succeeds well, and will make excel.
lent hay. The Hungarian succeeds in sim
liar attitudes in Europe. 1t succeeds well
in Iowa, produces better hay. and larger
Weld than any other grass. 1t is worthy oi
a trial in our climate and soil. Cannot some
Of our farmers give Us more information on
this subject?
Il is important to our agricultural inter-
ests; and the man who succeeds in discoy-
ering the necessary grasses for grazing aud
hay, that will succeed well in our climate,
will erect a monument more to be desired
