We copy the following from the jackson
Pilot:
A negro man Vas killed at Fannin, in
Rankin county, on Monday last. We are
informed that nan by the name of Cas-
teei employed a cDlored shoemaker to make
him a pair of bcots, to be finished Oh Mon
day last.
Casteel made threats that should the
boots bot be finished. and failed to tit him
and be done by Two O'clock or Monday, that
he would kill tie colored man. At the time
iesignatcd Casieel repaired to the shoe
makers shop. The boots were not satistaC-
toriiv finished. There was, however. in the
shop another eolored man, at the time Ca =
t.el called. Ca.;teel invited this man out of
the shop and talked with him for awhile.
out when their conversation was ended tie
tolore;i man re5urncd to the shop. Shortly
atterward I! companion OF Ca-teel again en-

Advice.

A young gentleman who is about to per.
potrate an imprudent marriage generally
thinks it right to fortify himself by the
opinions of at least few of his intimate
friends; and the advice is generally taken
and given without any perccptible smile
appearing on the countenances of the par
ties to the conference. Whenever an aspir.
ant to poc,ical honors is about to plunge
into print, he becomes nuisance to every
acquaintance who is supposed to be capable
of counting the number Of feet in q verse
and, Judging from the quantity of the mate.
rial annually produced, 1t follows that tho
Judgment of these critics, in spite of them.
selves, must either he lenicnt to the verge
Of idiocy, or that il must be singularly in
sincere or, finally, which is probably the
closest approximation to the truth. that il
newer produces any effect whatever.

Management of Stock.

I. "SavingW That's the word. Tho
whole secret Of success in the management
of stock of cattle in winter rests with tho
farmer If he uses judgment and care in
feeding, his stock will come out in the
spring looking well, and on much less
fodder than If no consideration had been
used in putting out the fodder. Farmers
often complain that their cattle waste their
hay, don't.eat it up clean, and leave orts.
The fact is the farmers themselves
waste it. The cattle are not to blame, when
twice the quantity Of hay is put before
them that they nced, if they do pick out
the best; but 1t is unjust to charge to
dumb animals the faults the farmer
himself is guilty Of. Be saving of the
fodder Do not stint tho stock; give them
all they will cat but no more.
H. Feed regularly, and give good meal
at time. We know farmers who are in
the habit Of throwing in light sprinkling
of hay before their cattle and horses, when
ever they go into tho barn. AS conse'
quence they are always uneasy and al
ways hungry. If lying down, when for
any cause, the farmer enters the barn for a
moment, up they oil jump and begin to
stretch and hollow for something to eat.
The stock of such farmer Is always poor
and always hungry. The true system of
feeding Is to feed regularly and uniformly.
Three times day is often enough for all
kinds of farm stock although in very cold
weather it may be we'll to feed four times,
and on moderate days, only twice, espo.
cially to sheep.
III. In clear days give stock at least
three hours sun in the open yards, and see
that the stables and tie ups are well lighted.
Nothing is more unfavorable for the health
and comfort Of stock, than to be confined
Democratic enquirer. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1867-1873, 1871-05-03

all day in n dark, unyentilated tie up
When the cattle are in the yards take the
opportunity to clean up tho tie up, and
litter the floor with the orts that may have
been left in the crib At no other time
should they be removed suuL
". Mich COWS demand and should re-
ceive extra care and extra feed. In cold
weather greater amount Of food is needed
TO keep up the necessary animal heat, and
where but n sufficient amount is given for
thispurpoSo how can an increase OF milk lie
expccted--indeed is it not more generally
the case that in winter the yield Of milk
diminishcs? But with little extra pains,
which will be more than made up by the
extra now of milk obtained, this can be
done. Good hay, plenty Of water, and a
small quantity daily of some provendcr,
will be found to pay well. Oil cake meal
can now be purchased at $4 por hundred,
and we are confident the expenditure of a
