EDrroRS CHRONICLE: As the diffusion
of useful knowledge upon any subject
connected with the advancement of the
agriculture of our section is of vital in
terest to your readers, / venture to trouble
you with a few thoughts upon Stock rails
ing, and especially with reference to a
breed of cattle but little known in this
part of our State, viz: the AyTshires.
Much depends on location in making up
our list of stock TO be kept on the farm
whether sheep or cattle and the same
thing, location, will influence our judg-
ment in determining what breed of cattle
or sheep we keep. We are willing to ae-
cord to the "Short Horns' the palm in
size, and to the jerseys in richness of
milk, and to the Devons in making fine
working oxen, and all of these are desira-
BILE, but are there not points in the Ayr
shires which make them the breed for this
section, or in fact the dairy az al sections,
independent of the amount of beef which
may be made from the COW when it becomes
necessary to turn her off. In New Eng
land where every farm has its working
oxen, the Devon will always he favorite.
In the immediate vicinity of New York,
where fine beef brings from ten TO twenty
cents per pound the Short Horns will be
in the ascendent. And wherever .HHc
article of milk and butter is all that is
wanted, without regard to quantity, the
Jersey will lie in demand. The Ayrshires
originally came from the county of Ayr
in the southwest part of Scotland and
are now the dairy breed not only in that
country, but in England and also in many
parts of the United States. We claim for
this breed land every fair test will go to
establish this claim that they are The best
for all purposes of the dairy, whether it be
milk, cheese or butter. Flint, in his treat
Use on Mich Cows and Dairy Farming, -
says, The remarkable milking qualities
of the Ayrshires have been developed to
such adegree that they may be said to pro-
duce larger quantity of rich milk and
butter, in proportion to the food consumed
or the cost of production, than any other
OF the pure bred races And this is Just
what we want in our locality. 1t certain
ly will not pay US to raise mammoth cat
tie merely for their flesh nor can the dairy
man forego all the profits of the business
to please his fancy. If the Ayrshires can
not boast of sales at 50. great prices as have
been obtained by fancy Short Horns, they
can show record in regard to the amount
/ Of milk, cheese and butter produced from
a single COW or from dairy, unequaled by
! any other breed. Nouatt, who was one OF
! the WarlneSt friends of the Short Horns,
! says, =" All dairy farmers must agree that
AN Ayrshire COW generally gives II larger
! return Of milk for the food consumed than
a COW of any other breed VIII not some
of our dairylnen look to their own interest
! and also to that of the farmers generally
] and introduce a few of this milking breed
| into our section? Yours, &C., '

no OUR FARMER FRIENDS.

We want to make the WEEKLY CnEoN-
ICLE TURNER'S paper, as we'll as a jour
nal for the Family Circle or for the Politi-
clan. We can do this if you help us.
Theories in farming are abundant and
doubtless of great value. But practical
results are moro valuable. If our farmer
readers will take an interest in giving
each other the benefit of their cal1erte,ac6,
ii will prove mutually profitable. We
urge all of our farmers, therefore, to send
us short AID pointed articles for our Agri-
cultural Columns. If any friend has made
experiments on any particular way of
farming oil raising stock, let him send his
views to us for public information. In
this way we can make the WEEKLY
CHRONICLE a valuable medium for farm
ers to communicate 70 each other valuable
suggestions. We have secured some
friends to write :or US in this way. Chan
cellor Temple has experimental with fine
cattle, and is writing the result Of his ex-
perience in a series OF articles our readers
have all been interested in we know, for
many of them have talked to us OH the
subject. Mr.. David Lee promises 10 give
us articles about his experiments. Who
else will contribute? Send on your ar
ticles. The more pointed and plain in
style they are, the better. Do lot say you
can not write for paper. Write to US Just
as you acolild tail to as. That is the best
style of writing after all. We hope to
have responses to this Invitation, for we
are in earnest about it. ...

pLe,e Gioodcd stock IS ntost oJUnddnt,

remarkable superiority of the blooded
stock over the common, is 50 great that
the demand is greater than the supply, al
though whole counties aud states are en-
gagged in raising it. The prices still go
higher and higher. OF course immense
fortunes are made at. the business This
feeling in favor of blooded stock is just
reaching the farmers of Fast Tennessee.
1t is coming, aud coming rapidly and soon.

High az these figures are, they are eX
ceeded by four steers raised by Mr.. George
Kyrault, of Poughkeepsie, New York wi no

They weighed as follows: one {, 300pounds:
one 1920 pounds; one 3,405 pounds, and
the remaining one {, 40 pounds. The net
beef weight of two of them after being
slaughtered was 4,537 pounds. They Were
seven-eighths Short Horn. They sold Oh
AN average for $500 90. o..
Here are plain facts which our farmers
can easily understand. They show that
there is a breed of cattle, which IL greatly
superior ia sic TO our scrub stock. 1t II
also greatly superior IN the qs<oHtg of the

tinue to throw away money on a WORTH
less, scrub race of stock. 1t il 1aDldziiig to
think Of! No wonder we are poor! No
wonder we have so few public schools No
wonder We are letting almost the whole

Corn Planting and Cultivation.
( Prom the Tennessee Agrieulturalist.

] have thought it would not be amiss to
give you my views upon the subject of
corn culture, ETC., as you say that any far
mer is at liberty to give his notions or
views through your valuable paper. There
are great many writers and much DIS
eussion on the farming business, therefore
l think may as we'll give mine. Corn
being the staple of this community, will
give my experience in that line, and the
kind Of plows used.
In the first place, we all prepare our
land in pretty much the same way, though
il is our falling, generally, to plough too
shallow. Ayery's and other patterns are
used in turning the land. Ny mode is to
turn the ground as deep as possibly can !:
harrow well, and lay off both ways before
commencing to plant, and then drop the
seed the first Nay of laying off. In this
connection, would say never put a boy or
girl to dropping, but select the most care
ful hand for that purpose and on up-lands
would not put more than two grains to
the hill. By dropping the first way of
laying of, you have the corn straight, and
can plough as Close one way as the other
At ploughing tine j commence with the
bull-tongIe, and get as close and as deep
ms can never put boy TO side the
corn, but have him split the middles, both
sides and splitter using the same Kind of
ploE. Plough the secoud time with the
same kind of pillow, getting as close as con-
venikllt, and going as deer as possible,
thereby giving the corn as much dirt as is
! necessary. When I have done the second
time, hhe land is thoroughly broken and
well paLlveriZed, and 1 have not damaged
the Young corn by isrealIing the roots.
But for the third aud fourth ploughing. Il
use the aOuble-shoVel, which L think l,en-
efieial for three reasous. First, the roots
OF the c0sn are not torn and broken up.
Second, you leave the Land level, and Ia
fine fix for seeding TO small grain. Third
there are 40 burrows left C. make washes.
To sustain me in my preference for
the bull-tongue, will give Eo instances.
cultivated twenty-five or thirty acres of
land as Described above, between two of
any nelghbors--One on the nOrth aud one
On I Ne south. We all prepared our land
the Same way-by turning over and har-
rowing. They used 40 other than the
dGHble-shoyel in its cultivation. The
neiShbor on the north had the isest land.
while that on the south has fully a. good
az that ultivated by myself The eonse-
quence ofusing the double shovel entirely,
was that they never got thsir land broke
any deeper, and as the season. advanced il
naturally got harder; and when the
drouth came their corn began 10 "hrer
and dry up; while mine was green and
growing all the time, and did not dry up
UNI its natural time. When we came 20
gather the crop, theirs made but little
over half as much az mine 90 ne acre.
rus crop was made in 1871.
