GROW GOOD GRASS AND KEEP GOOD
STOCK

No one should wait Till his fields cease "a
produce good crops of cotton, corn and wheat
before he seeds them down TO the best Euro.
pean grasses for il he does II may be too
late to realize any profit. No one can stop
too soon the bad practice Of wearing out the
land he cultiyates. BY keeping breeding mares
and raising fine colts, or by keeping sheep,
a farmer may easily improve farm without
plowing tenth part OF it. After the soil is
nearly exhausted, the family must still get
their bread from il, and as at the North, live
stock will be driven of the premises. When
oneraises no more corn than the children need,
i IS easy to see that but lew hogs will be fat
ted on this grain. Something like this state
OF things reduced the number of swine nearly
two million head from 1910 to 1850, where
there ought to have been an increase Of like
number. Similar causes reduced nearly
twelve million head Of sheep to fraction over
five millions.
"lt is choice cows, sheep, horses, and
mules. that yield the greatest returns to skill
fulhusbandmen. The production Of scrubs. is
a mean business in pecaniary ppint Of view.
Raise superior aulmals on rich perennial
grasscs il you seek good income from your
farm in stock husbandry. Such animals NAV
obtain part Of their living from unimproved
old fields, particularly sheep; but they want
good clover and pea hay in the winter, or hay
made from the English grasses. The most
prominent error in stock growing is the at
tempt TO rear fine hogs. cattle, and sheep,
on scanty and defective food Some want
good deal Of meat. milk, or wool from little
or nothing. They ask nature 10 make them
rich, while they lie in the shade in the sum
mer, and set BY the fire in the winter. and
leave their poor animals to nearly or quite
perish from neglect. Give stock the same
diligence and care bestowed on crop Of cot
ton, and the profit will be far greater, because
the one branch oi business is now pushed ra.
ther too lar, while the other is sadly neglect
ed. Hence, there is more money in grow
ing horses. mules and wool than in growing
