IL ~ good deal of satisfaction TO
'Rcoithc interest in Iinc stock rcvi-
wing all lover the State. Before the

some thDrongh brcd horses and cat

in tho last year, and with our quar-.
tcrIy raccs, now ina'Iturated ut four
on five different points in tho State,
and Will, tho various fairs that are
becoming regularly established, ]
look to SEQ still greater progress
maids in tho cultivation of fine stock.
Tho present prospect of the cotton
crop is decidedly fine. Tho first
halo reached this market last Satur-
day, July Both, two days later than
the first bale last year, which came
in on the 2Stli IL was good cotton
and sold for 25c. in gold per pound,
ndetook ~ brizo Of 500 IN gold DO
sides. n. W. House bought it and
scutit post haste, by express, to
New York. 10 did tho same last
ycar9nM.. Matchct, Of Washington,
was tho cntcrprising producer.
II is Understood that tho crop in
the Colorado Valley and West is cut
short from ton to Glloon thousand
bales. But elsewhere in tho State
itappoars to be more promising than.
over before, and with no serious in
jury!from this out, tho. production
for tho Gulf ports ought TO go near
fly upito 100000 bales, if it docs not
ovcrgo that figure. .gi.q.i n
Our other crops arc also promis-
ing beyond precedent. We shall
hardly need to import corn thisycar,
and were sufficient attention given
TO tho saving Of hay, we should need
nono Of that. But as it is, many
thousand bales wiilbo brought from
Maino,and Massachusetts. think
grass .rops arc greatly moderated
by onr people. There il no bottor
hay than crop grass. This grass
grows rapidly and will takic posses
ssion Of any ground that is cleared
,of,crop early in the soasoni From
two TO four cuttings can be madoin
tho seasonlailcr Il harvest in Juno,
.and each ,cutting will yield a ton to
tho aero. What is wanted 10 that
the ground should be lcvcllcd and
tho grass cut and cured by machine
ry, to mako it the most profitable
crop grown $50 90 aet &" aihie 2.
" has been stated, time and again
that sunilowors, when planted on
an extensive scale, will noutralizo
tho effect Of oxhalationsf from marsh
IS, and prevent intermittent fcvors.
/ have tried tho experiment this
year oma place that has always been
regarded rs sickly. / put an acre
of sun1owors in, and established a
family Of Europeans, having quitca
ssmbcr of small children in the
house. Tho result is, that they
have boon remarkably free from fc-
vcrs and sickness Of all kinds this
year. And I'think there is somc-
thing in it. A friend of mine, n
planter in Burlcson county, tried
