FROM THE SoUTH.-Mr. Chas. Mil
Ter, of Stienbach, Wack & Co., recent
" returned from an extensive trip
throughout Tennessee, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Texas, reports thriv-
ing condition of things throughout
the country visited by him, dampened
only by the present and prospective
low prices of the products of the soil,
and rather less than average health
prevailing throughout that region at
present. He agrees with all others
from that part, in saying that business
is in a vastly improved condition.

Grinding Hand and MOWing-Ma
chine ScythpS.

Half the hard work of cutting grass
by hand or cutting it with a machine is
saved by keeping the tools to do it with
i'll order The principle process 10y which
this is done is grinding.
The philosophy Of the process is this:
the sharp grit Of the grindstone being
harder than the steel cuts little channels
in the metal, the particles taken ont 10y
the process being carried away by the
revolving disk. After the grinding, if
the edge of even the most delicate insrtu-
ment is examined, it will be found to
consist of 4 series of teeth not unlike
common hand-saw, and rhe blade will
he full OF scariiications, like alternate
ridges and burrows in a cultivated field.
OF course, the smaller and finer these
teeth, the better, a. the whole process of
cutting Is simply using saws of either
coarser o, finer make, a. the case may
be; and as one can see, the finer the
teeth, the easier the work will be- done
In grinding common hand-sythc, the
best mode Is to let the stone revolvc from
llc tbSC lllt IISl llllc EolllH ONtI. Oi
can give the blade heavier pressure
upon the stone, and generally make the
grinding more even. When it is brought
to an edge as the term is. in this way, ii
should always he turned the Ell &c toward
the stone, and thus the saw-teeth will
he shortened, the ridges broadcned and
lowered, and the cut OF the scythe will
he much easier, as well as the edge
more likely TO "hold than if left after
the first process.
With regard To machine scythes, the
same principle holds good, and the same
process should always be repeated. The
knife should never be touched on it, fiat
side, no matter how dull or hacked 10y
contact with stone. The hcvcl should
always lie exactly the same, aud al
though human muscle does not drive it
through the grass, horse muscle does.
and considerations of humanity to the
animals that serve us should make the
keeping OF the knives in the machine al
WAYS in the best order, besides the fact
that. when sharp, they add from three
to five per cent to the quantity of grass
cut ON any Given field

sheds i'm Pastures.

Horace Greeley in his TnJm"r ar
ticlc- ON what he knows of farming
saws
| think each pasture should have 4
rude she'd or other shelter whcretO the
cattle may resort III case OF storm or
other inclemency How much they
shrink a. well as suffer fiom one cold
pclting rain. few fully realize; but !
am sure that the mercitul man who
las the Scripture says) is merciftlI to his
beast finds his humanity good pay
inc investment. doubt that the rule
would fail, even in Texas; but | am
contemplating civilized husbandry, not
the rude conditions of tropical semi
barbarism If only by means o: stakes
and straw, give cattle a chance to keep
dry and warm when they must other
wise shiyer through rainy, windy day
and night on the cold, wet ground, and
| am sure they will pay it.
Greelev's ideas Cf sheltering stock IN
gestures are well enough, and where
forest trees are not plenty the building
of sheds NAV be advisable, but it is a
little amusing to see the old philosopher
in perfect simplicity quote a common
praverb and call it Scripture. There Is
no such passage in the Bible as the
merciful man is mercitul to his beast.
