WOOL GROWING IN TIE SOUTH.
The late war has destroyed the great

Cotton is no longer King, and as the South
is necessarily an agricultural country, her

their former staple. AS have had longer

The following extract is from the Gala

''The very fact of the issue of a paper
in the county is actually worth more than
FIVE times the subscription, 70 every man
in the county who owns an acIs of land,
and Its existence was terminated, it would
be felt. There is not a property holder in
the county whose estate is not affected by
the fact. And yet thousands hesitate at
the expenditure Of the small sum which it
takes from each one to render a newspaper
establishment prosperous and useful. We
will whisper a secret to such persons.

FIRST EXPERIENCE.


In 1914 selected this branch Of agri-
culture for my pursuit, and With all my en-
ergy eDdeavored to post myself thoroughly
both on the effect Of climate upon the wool
and upon the habits and diseases of sheep.
1 therefore read every book could obtain
upon this subject. wrote to and obtained
samples from all of the most celebrated
fock masters of the world. obtained
samples from the highest ATTITUDES, to with
in II degrees of the Equator. This ena-
bled me to sit in my own room and com
pare my wool with that Of the world, which
to my great satisfaction, compared favora-
bly, and caused no to send my wool to the
London Exhibition in 1851. After pur-
chasing my first sheep, which were selec-
ted from me best in America, moved to
Madison County, Mississippi, about 324
degrees north latitude, where I kept my
flock until 1885. I then moved to Lexing
ton KY. where defeated the Hon. Henry
Clay, who bantered the world, with wool
grown 324 degrees north latitude, as above
mentioned, which in my opinion was the
finest wool ever saw. subsequently,
moved to Tennessee.

HINTS ON BREED1Ea.

In order for ewes to produce plenty of
milk for their offspring, they should have
green herbage. Therefore, the time Of
breeding must be governed by the latitude.
Ewes carry their lambs Eve months, and in
order to give strict attention to them at
their time Oflambing. and have them lamb
as early as vegetation will admit, bucks
should be kept seperate from the ewes until
just five months previous to the desired
time for lambiDg. Then put them with
your ewes and allow them to remain as
short period as practicable, of course be-
ing governed by the number of each.

THE MERIEo SHEEP.

have found the meriBo sheep to be of
the greatest longevity, to be the most ae-
tive in search of food. and the most pro6ta-
bic to rear. In commencing OF pursuing
any business in order to insure success one
must practice economy. I would therefore
advise beginner in this enterprise to pro-
cure common wooled ewes and select bucks
from the best hoeks to be found; then in
every three OF four years to Purohase new
bucks as ''ip and in breeding is destruc-

CAN WOOL BE GROWN IN THE SOUTH.
The preceding facts are sufficient to con-
vince any one that extremely fine wool can
be grown in the South, and l am satisfied
that it is now the most lucrative pursuit
that can be adopted by our people. It re-
quires but little capital to commence the
business and comparatively little labor. In
many localities sheep can live the entire year
without any feed save what they pick from
the native verdure of our warm climate.
This does away with the expense of feed
ing, and they never require to be housed,
The absence of these two great expenses,
and the cheaPness of our lands, will enable
US to compete with and even excel any
country in the world in the cheap prOduc-
ton of wool. This fact will enable the
poor people of the South to go extensively
into wool growing without any disastrous
effect to themselves.

THE REMEDY

TIE hGh6DIs
To prevent the fly from effecting it's OBJ
jsct, tar the nose of the sheep. The
smell Of the tar is Offensive to the fIy. and
when deposited in it the worm cannot
crawl. The following is the plan by which
tar the nose of the sheep: Take straight
poles about ak inches IN diameter, and as
long as your fOck may require take two
iueh augsF and bore holes in the pole shout
six inches apart. and .one'a oae@hsif IN
ches deep, and every two or three days in
fly time take small paddle and smear
pine tar around the inside of the anger
holes then sprinkle little salt in the holes
aud your sheep will tar their own noses.
A little sulphur added to the salt is of gaeat
advantage 10 keeping the skin healthy
This is very essential to procure good wool.
Should this preventative fail. and you dis
cover the effects of the Ay. prepare a strong
amber of tobacco leaves (or stems, which
are cheaper); then take your subject, place
it upon its back, man holding its legs, two
in each hand place the sheep's head on
an angle of about forty Eve degrees, take
an ounce syringe. FIJI it with amber snd in-
ject one half OF it's contents in each nostril,
taking care not to allow the sheep to swal-
low it, or to keep it down long enough to
strangle. In twelve hours you will per-
ceive whether your opperation was effec-
tive or not; if not. repeat it. When the
amber touches the worm it will kill it i'm
mediately,
