HINTS FOR STOCK RAIsERs

This last fat hogs the writer raised were
sold in Knoxville at four cents pound live
weight. The young mules and colts raised
ON the same farm, brought an average Of
about twenty cents pound. The practi-
cal result was that clover, grass and little
grain, transformed into horsefesh, brought
just five times IS much per pound as they
did when consumed by hogs. 1t is gener-
ally thought that growing pig will gain a
little more weight fIom ten pounds of clover
(more or less) than thrifty mule or other
cot. Our experience and observation 90
| not Sustain IN opinion. We believe
that well managed horse stock On
Guiding muleS) pays better than any other.
If one has capital 10 put into the bust
ness, it is best to select first class brood
mares and jack in order to produce supe-
riOr stock and command It's highest price.
But where ones means are limited, cheap
er brood mares may be bought, and mare
colts may be purchased and reared for
breeding purposes on the farm. There are
some who work land on shares, poor men
who have young mules and colts TO sell as
soon as it will do to wean them. II is
profitable to buy this young stock, give the
| young things first rate chance (the writer
feeds them cows milk and hoecake) ia
order to make them grow rapidly and TO a
large size. Liberal and judicious feeding is
the secret of profitable breeding on stock
farm.
But in order to have plenty to feed
stock of all kinds or of any sort, one must
raise plenty. Hence, growing plants with
skill and economy must 60 with and before
profitable stock raising. 1t is in the neglect
of English grasses that Tennessee and 9TH
er Southern farmers generally fail, if they
fail at all. They depend too much on the
corncrib for feeding mules, horses and
blooded cattle. All of our domestic ami
mails that walk on four feet come from a
grass country, and do best on European
grasses and cloVers. This is an i'm portant
fact in natural history. Being ourselves
Europeans planted on a western continent,
with the horse, ass, COW, sheep and hog
why reject any plant that feeds this stock
in Europe?
We have in Tennessee alone millions OF
acres in old fields that produce nothing but
little native sedge, briers, and few
bushes, that would grow orchard grass
(Which is the English cocksfoot), herdsgrass
"a species of English bent), oat-grass, and
the English fescues, as well as all the Euro
pean cloVers. TIE progenitors of Southern
farmers have been so long from Europe, anC
so much employed in planting, that the az
ricultural mird has lost sight Of the bes
natural food of our European farm stock
Let US go back to first conditions and prin
ciples. Nearly all milk giving animals, in
Guiding whales, are grazing beasts. Whales
suckle their young, and have pastures a
well as horses and cattle.
Our Southern grazing grounds show
at once the sad neglect of European graz
ing plants and European cattle that need

FARM AND GARDEN.

A NEW WAY TO CATCH FISH.
Professor Agassiz, when in California,
went out fishing in the neighborhood OF
San Francisco. He rather astonished the
natives by his methods. He exploded tor
pedoes under water and then plucked up
the victims. He caught about thousand
fish in short time, and among them were
specimens Of all kinds that existed there, or
rather that had existed there.
The veteran ichthyologist wanted speci-
men of every species Of fnny vertebrates,
whether they would bite or not. Nor would
he trust dip net. Our numerous lakes,
large and small, and the facility with which
fish ponds can be made, will lead to the
large and indefinite extension of fish cul-
ture in the United States. Even now the
oyster crop of Maryland is worth more
than her wheat crop.

WHAT BRUIN KNOWS ABOUT AP.
PILES. 81

The Lewiston Journal is informed that
bears have been making serious depreda-
tons in the sweet apple orchards in Phillips
and vicinity. Several have been shot, and
hides and heads brought into the village.
A j. Parker discovered that his fruit was
being destroyed, and not being able to OBJ
tain sight ofthe thief, set his gun at night
on the trail of Mr.. Bruin, and next morning
found him dead at the entrance to the or
chard.
There are several minkeries, or establish
ments where minks are raised by the thous-
and for their valuable fur, in this country.
Why not raise beaLs for their skins and
meat? The industrious American beaver
probably might be semi-domesticated, and
multiplied at large profit. Our fur-bear-
nganimals have greater value than we
have studied as source of income.

HOW THE WILL De THE PEOPLE
IA REFEATER

The Cameron ring in PENNSYLVANIA
cheated Judge Packer out Of his election
as Governor of that State in 1869. The
Philadelphia Age says that fact is no long
ef denied, but that it is confessed and
boosted of by the conspirators. The same
ring, with the aid Of Grant, has done the
same thing for Mr.. Buckalew. Twice has
the viii of people in Pennsylvania been de-
feated by fraud and corruption. Four
years ago Senator Morton anu his agents in
Indiana swindled Mr.. Hendricks in the
same way, out of the Office of Governor Of
that State. A charge Of this character is
now brought against Col. w. r, Holloway,
Morton's brother-inlaw, in such shape
tina: the responsibility for this infamy can
not be lodged. 1t is the Cincinnati En-
quirer which holds the proofs against
this man, and thus &rraigns him:
"We make the following
charge against him, deliberately and
advisedly, with time, place and circum-
stance, and for the express purpose of CIV
ing him such cause of action as bis coun-
sci will say is sufficient, if he chooses to re-
sort TO the courts for redress. We charge
that w. R. Holloway, shortly after the cleo
ton for Governor in the State Of Indiana,
at law Office in the city of Cincinnati, de-
clared that be had, Immediately after said
election, and before said result had been an
nounced, so manipulated the returns of
votes from divers Republican counties in
said State, as to reduce the number of votes
given for Thomas A. Hendricks, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, as
to defeat him, and to add to
the number Of votes given for Baker,
so as to elect him. That unless he had
done so the votes actually returned for
said Hendricks would have shown him to
be elected; and the votes actually returned
for lid Baker would have shown that he
was defeated" In support Of this charge
the Enquirer cites two witnesses, both Re-
pub.jcans, of the highest standing, to whom
Holloway made the above confession, one
of whom is Gen. j. D. Cox, formerly Sec
rotary of the Interior. But Col. Holloway
does not put the Enquirer to the test of
proving its charge. The thing was done in
Senator Morton's interest, and he is too
smart to allow the investigation to be made.
Morton and Cameron have done more to
debauch the ballot boxes of the country
than any two men living, and they should
be held up to public execration for their in
famous work.

a MR.. LANE, of Dorchester, Mass, was
called to the door one night few weeks ago
and shot by an assassin, who made bis es-
cape. The cause of the murder is unknown.
A daughter of the brother of Mr.. Lane was
made widow by murder of still more
heartless nature-Mr. Adams, who was
murdered by Colt some years ago in New
York, being her husband. Mr.. Adams left
his residence one morning to collect bill
of Mr.. Colt, and he was not heard Of for
about a week. Mr.. Colt (brother of the
famous revolver maker Colt) murdered him
in his office, doubled and cut up the body,
put it in box, and shipped it for New Or
leans; but owing to the detention Of the
vessel for other causes, the murder was dis
covered. Colt, it viii be remembered, was
convicted and ordered to be hung. Two
hours before the time Of execution the
prison took fire, and, as some believe, Colt
escaped in freman'S clothes and still lives,
though it was said he committed suicide,
and body found was said to be his.

NEW YORK, Oct. Z9.-Ihe movement
of -four is moderately increasing both at
lake and sesbo&rd ports, and with less IA
vOrable foreign adVices and diminished ex-
port movement, in connection with the pre-
valent epidemic among horses giving di-
mirished drayage facilities, and smaller To-
cal demand in consequence, there has beea
some increase in the stocks at this and 9th
er seaboard ports, though they are not es-
timated to be larger than usual at this time
in the year. The prices Of high grades OF
both spring and winter wheat flour have
been well sustained, while on the low and
medium grades concessions in price have
been necessary to effect sales. There has
been some accumulation of No. 2 -four,
which closed lower. Low grades of ship
ping extra brought less money, extra State
being in moderate supply, round lots not to
be had under ST. The demand for Mime
sofa spring for bakers use has continued,
notwithstanding the deficiency in drayage
facilities. Most grades of winter wheat be-
low SIS. 80 were easier.
The movement of wheat from interior
points to the seabOard has been increased
moderately as well as the visible supply,
and augmented deliveries at this port are
expected. There has SO far been no accu-
mutation of stock here, as the export aud
the milling demand have about equalled the
receipts. The time for the closing of the
canals is near and Western bankers will not
probably make advances on canal ship
nlenLs from Bufalo later than the 10Th OF
November. The amount on The New York
canals Saturday, Oct. rs, was 1,835,OOO
bushels. The receipts here, including those
by rad during this and next week, will be
about z, 1000, 900 bushels. The untaVOrable
foreign advices, resulting from increased
supplies and larger home deliveries, has de-
pressed prices here, checked the export
movement and diminished the rate of ocean
freights. The checking of the export de-
mand may give a moderate accumulation
Of stock here at the close of canal naViga-
ton, but it will not probably be more than
one third to one half Of what it has been
for the last three years, in one of which
there was stock at the close of navigation
of about 100000 bushels wheat.
The visible supply of cora is still upwards
of thirteen million bushels. Tue export for
the four weeks ended Oct. "a, from all At
lantic ports, have aggregated 3,SH ,OOO

ADDRESSING n3eting of indignant cit
liens # New York on the night of Oct. Is,
Hon. James Brooks offered to stand bail for
ever man who would kick Davenport's
inquisigiva Marshals out of his house. Even
the New York Eoning Post, q Grant Or
gan, has been shamed into protest against
the impertinence Of Dayenport's irresponsi-
bic suhordinates, yet Davenport shows no
signs OF yielding. Interpreting the law in
his own way, and boasting that he is back
ed by President Grant, he has begun his
arrests Of foreign citizens who have regis.
tered despite bis espionage. Suppose these
outrages were being committed on citizens
of Tennessee or Georgia by an official Of
these SAFES, low long would Grant stand
idly 10y and not send troops to arrest the
perpetrators? In these days it makes a
very great difference where thing is done
and by whom it is done.

against 5,09S,0C0 the previous four weeks.
The arrivals have in consequence been
large in the, United Kingdom, which gave
lower prices there aud dropping prices here.
The diminished export of the last four
weeks will give smaller arrivals there very
soon, when there will, probably, be reac-
ton and return of dearer quotations. The
farmer In the far West can husk and shell
and draw thirty bushels of corn to the ship
ment station with one team Of horses, and
bis thirty bushels Of corn, delivered on
board of cars, viii bring him about $3.50,
including the pay for his corn, his own Ia
Dor, and the work of bis team. He can
get $50 per day for his team and his own
labor from the railways now building; COLI
sequentiy if the grower should burn his
corn and work for the rail ray, he would be
$l.50 better paid. Under this condition of
things, the near close of navigation and ex
pected higher winter rates of rail transpOr-
tatlon, lower price of corn here, except,
perhaps, temporarily under the influence of
large receipts, cannot be expected. The
movement abroad has been quite large, and
the wants of Europe from all countries will
not exceed fifty million bushels per annum.
The crop of maize In Hungary is this year
deficient. With our large supply from the
crop OF 1872, and that remaining over from
the crop OF 1871, there is not much pros
pect OF any very considerable advance in
prices. The market closed at 64c for prime
sail mixed Western sfoat, with moderate
demand.-BulletiR.
