The New Orleans Pieayune says: "In
the name Of common sense let our planting
people grow their own corn, and make
their owl bread and meat. Do this FIRST,
and give up the exploded idea that cotton
is king Aud when home wants are sup
piled then grow cotton, and the country
will grow richer.
If the whole south could be induced to
adopt self-suslaining policy by making
their own food aud raiment. and give the
balance Of their time to the culture Of cot
ton, DO people on earth would be as rich as
we would soon be.
A season is.past, and another crop Of
cotton has been added to the records but
as far as its visible effects can be seen on
the wealth Of the Southern country, it had
as we'll not have been made. A million
bales have been counted, worth a hundred
millions of dollars. But It has gone
gone glimmeFing 10 help other people, and
enrich other pockets. There is nothing
left Of It. No more money is In the South
than before it was gathered. Some may
ask. where is It.? We point-them to the
huge heaps of freight and produce daily
landed at the wharf, and which, the mo-
ment they touch the shore, are wheeled
away to the railroads aud coast steamers to
feed the farming people.
PLANT CoRN.-Let no one be guilty Of
the folly Of putting every thing in cotton
and then pay for their error by giving
thousands for bread aud meat.

CATTLE AND SHEEP AS GRAz1ERs.-In
discussing a recent paper. by Mr.. Hope on
cattle feeding, the London Economist re-
marks; =
The following indicates disadvantages
in grazing sheep as compared with cattle !:
GAS rule, animals generally eat in pro-
proportion to their live weight, but this is
modified by their age and condition. 1t
has even been found that if ten sheep weigh
the same as one OK, they will consume
daily the same quantities Of turnips; though
it is curious that piece of grass that will
maintain au OK grazing will not heep more
than six sheep" That sheep kept in great
numbers on meadows will soon diminish
the quantity of grass produced, is fact
which we have again and again verified
And many years ago, when going over his
farm with the late Mr.. Henry 0Yermon, he
referred to diminution in the produce Of
his meadows, which he said had been over
sheeped. In Herefordshire, on the strong
loans, we always found the hay crops to
be disappointing wherever sheep were much
feed on the meadows. Cattle for meadows,
and sheep for arabic lands and upland pas
lures, seems to be, in general way, the
practical rule for stock farming.

Corn and Cotton

The Milledgeville Federal Union justly

Let it not prove our ruin. We see there is
no certainty, from present appearances,

preservation is the FIRST law Of nature. We
say then, emphatieally, while still not too
late in the season, let 7II'atsrs at large

ETC., is as we'll adapted to Che production of
other things as cotton.
Letplanters at large, we again say, las
we have advised our friends PLANT NO
COTTON A starving people will be COM
PEELED to have corn, ETC., and such things
will viii bring the planter as much money
as cotton, and be thereby save his charac-
ter, honor and country. II cotton is plant
ed at all, let it only be to the extent need
ed for family use. We give this advice in
all sincerely, from thorough conviction
that it is best, and would advise that
throughout the South. planters meet, con

by which general concert Of faction can be
