Wool Growing.
-" The past Is but an emptied flask.
The future, a bottle yet uncorked."

1t is settled fact, generally conceded,
that stock growing, in this State, has exceed
ed all other branches of farming in profita-
bleness. The business, however has been
] confined to cattle and hogs and now the
question arises, why sheep and wool hus-
bandry is not equally as profitable. We are
satisfied that the culture of wool so far as
the health of the sheep is concerned, has no
hinderance in this State. Sheep may be
grown, at the present time, with little attcn-
ton or experience. Why, then, have we not
sheepfolds proportionateIy large with our
herds of cattle and hogs? We answer. in
the first place: The pirates of the prairles
=, and the woodlands -the wolves and the dogs
9-have deferred many farmers from making
attempts. THUS lucrative branch of stock
raising has been neglected. Until some plan
is devised for protecting sheep from dogs,
This Gan never be a wool-growing country
We see no reason why wool could not he
grown almost II not altogether as cheap A.,

What of the Future 2

The human mind is preHe to make calcu-
lations for the future. Among brutes this
taking thought for the Hnorrow is called in
stinct, but among humans ii is reason.-
What Of the future for farmers? All attempt
to predict what is hes. to do, and what not
to Ito, is, after oil useless waste of time As
farmers we have a promise of seed time
and harvest, and summer and winter. The
certainty, of these wants point the farmers to
course ofproceedings which are based upon
. certaiaay, belonging to no other kind of
business Tbs present is crisis fra,,ght
with anxiety for the welfare of the country
The great struggle for liberty now taking
place has caused large drain upon the
Farming class, and our young men from the
agricultural corps have rushed bold and
fearless to the rescue of our blood bought
flag. Thus the times urges us to be vgilant,
Industrious, and saving. We must cultivate
our own cotton and sugar We must grow
our own coffee. If we cannot grow the cof-
fee plant successfully there are substitutes
1t. 1t is said that the seed OF the sorghum
makes good coffee. 1t is said that farmer
in Illinois by the name of Huffman has sue
ceeded in growing coffee, and he thinks that
it can he grown to The extent of thirty bush
els to the acre successfully. Then the ques-
ton, what bearing will the present war have
upon the agricultural interests of our nation
is,onc of Importance. 1t is an axiom that
wars tend to enhance the prices of the pro-
ducts of the earth. Whuat and beef, corn
and mutton, wool and hemp, tow and fax,
flannel and paper, swell thu consumption of
. earth's products, by this vast devourer of
human labor and human toll. Therefore the
future has nothing in it that need be at all
gloomy to the farmers. We know that pc
RODS arise in the history of every farm occu-
patton characterized more or less by gloom
and depression. Dark days spread pail
over the hopes of the husbandman, and the
light that has lent its charm to nerve his
step hickers, and he is at times tempted to
abandon his long cherished plans and fly to
other occupations. In short, we would urge
with all the pursuasiveness of truth, to grow
more wool, sors hum, and flax, and expert
,nent with cotton, be frugal, saving. careful
and judioious in all your future projects and
ell will be well yet. n.s-. 5-sT5..rs..
