The accident occurred from changing on

parents to keep their children away from

taking place, if the transfers use stern
measures, and drive the boys off, the pa

resent the Interference of the drivers,
and appeal to the law for redress, thus
encouraging the already too impudent boys
OF tho town to practice their mischief and

Notes from the Census Books.

Mr.. EDITOR AS it fell to my lot to
take the census in the four Districts, fol
lowing, and having completed the same, l
send you, for publication, as follows:
The Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1866-1891, 1870-12-01

CHESTER WHIrEs.-We have once
before called attention to this excellent
breed of hogs. We do so again because
an experience of two years in raising
them has confirmed our first impressions
as to their superiority over any breed,
which has ever been introduced into
this section, and we desire as many
farmers as possible to procure the stock.
They do not grow as large as some
other breeds, though with good feeding
and attention they make very large
hogs. The SOW we imported two years
ago, at three months old, will weigh
now near 600 pounds. Tho boar was
stolen year ago, and would have
weighed at that tine about 400 pounds.
We know several half breeds 10 months
old from the poorest scrub sows in the
county, which will weigh from 300 to
400 pounds.
They are as industrious feeders, and
as nearly selfsustaining as the longest
nosed acorn hunting, root cxterminating
land sharks of the country.
With the same feeding, be it little or
much, they will furnish twice as much
meat as the best of our native breeds.
We have known but one of the stock
to have the mango, which was easily
cured-but one to die and but one
which was not healthy and thrifty, out
of near one hundred thorough and half
breeds we have noticed. IF there is
any objection to them We have failed to
discover it.
We are sure that thousands of bush.
els Of corn would be annually saved to
the County, if our ugly, Unsuitable sharp
backs were supplauted by this beautiful
and thrifty breed.-Corolina Spartan.
The Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1866-1891, 1870-12-01

in blue stone solution, to prevent
smut, 1b. to 5 bushels of seed
skim off all that floats. After taking
out the seed from the blue stone
solution, roll in lime.
This is the best month at the
South for killing hogs intended for
bacon. 1t is apt to be cold enough
towards the latter part, and pork
salted down has the whole cold
weather to cure in, and will be
ready to put away in March.
Preparations for sheltering and
taking care Of stock during the
winter should now be completed,
and with this, full arrangements
made for accumulating a large
quantity of manure. Ample sup
plies of dry litter, such as straw,
leaves, saw-dust, &C., should be on
hand. These will both minister to
the comfort of the animal and to
the growth of the next crop
With the present low price of cot.
ton and high prices Of fertilizers.
our farmers will probably not need
much urging to increase the supply
of homemade manure; on the con-
| trary, that the use of the former
on farm, contributes TO the pro.
duction of the latter; still, it has
not probably been true, that taking
the cotton region at large since
the war, there has been rather a
tendency to neglect the depart
ment of homemade manures, and
to rely too exclusively upon COM
mercial fertilizers. Inasmuclr as
every one is convinced nowr that
it is poor policy, under existing
circumstances, to cultivate poor
land without manure of some kind,
those VINO want to buy the small.
est quantity of fertilizers next
spring, should begin at once vigor.
ously to make and to save barn
yard manure. Keep it as dry as
possible, permitting it to be wet by
the urine of animals only; its
weight will thereby be decreased;
most important consideration, as
the difficulty of hauling ont and
distributing, in consequence of
weight. iSatbs>greatest objection
Ito this kind of manure. There is
usually however enough poor land
near the stables, to which it may
be conveniently applied.

Thoughts uht For The Month. :,

Rainy and cold weather general
" sets in nthismontb. Every thing
still in the, field, 4 should be housed
as rapidly as possible. Cotton gin.
ned and packed as fast as picked,
and when not sold, should, as
precaution against fire, be taken
from the ginbouse and store in
different places, convenient to be
watched. If wheat has rot already
been sown, the sooner, it is done the
better. Avoid plowing in when
the ground is wet, and harrow
thoroughly after plowing in. Soak
