SrocK RAIsISG.-In an article on stock raising
a Southern journal has some truthful remarks,
applicable to any meridian, as follows: ai er
at is choice cows, sheep, horses and mules
that yield the greatest returns to skillful hus-
bandmen. The production of scrubs, or mean
stock Of any kind is rather a mean business, in
a pecuniary point Of view Raise superior ami
mails, on rich perennial grasses if you seek a
good income from your farm-stock husbandry
Such animals may obtain part of their living
from unimproved old fields, particularly sheep I;
but they want good clover and pea hay in the
winter, or hay made from the English grasses
The most prominent error in stock-growingis the
attempt to rear fine hogs. cattle and sheep. on
scanty and detective food Some want great
deal Of neat milk, or wool from little or nothing
They ask nature to make them rich while they
lie in the shade in summer and sit by the fire in
winter, and ieaee their poor animals to nearly or
quite perish from neglect" S4fh-
