Fattcning Cattle.

The age at which cattle can be profita-
bly, fattened will depend much upon their
breeding, and the manner in which they
have been reared. Steers or heifers, have
ing from half to three fOuTths Short Horn
or Hereford blood in them, and that have
been kept in a thrifty, growing condition
from calfhOod, are usually sufficiently adj
vanced to put up to fatten, when from thir-
ty to thirtY-siX months old. Pure breed
animals of Short Horn or Hereford blood
may be profitably fattened at an earlier
age A cross of one half to three-fOurths
Devon blood or common stock, makes an
animal that can go into the stalls at two
wears old, fit has been kept in good grow
ing condition. Common native cattle can
rarely be prOfitably fed for the butcher till
they are four years old. If cattle are put
up to fatten before their growth has suttl-
GENTLY advanced, SO as to bring them near
their full capacity of laying up substance,
much of the food given them, instead of
going to make them fat, will be wasted in
adding bone and muscle, which could have
been obtained more cheaply by giving
them time to complete their developments
in ordinary keep. Besides the effort to
fatten an ordinary animal, in an immature
state, can only result in producing meat of
very inferior quality, and commanding
much less price than if the same animal
had been kept on longer until its frame
had become solid and we'll knit together,
its muscles developed to their full capac-
ity and its stomach capable of digesting and
assimilating larger amount of food than
is actually required to sustain an ordinary
growth and wear and tare of life, without
derangment of its vitality.

Orchard Grass.

As the people of East Tennessee seem to
be turning their attention more and more
to raising the different kinds of grass, the
following remarks of gentlemen in the
Maury County Farmers Club, as we find
them reported in the Columbia Herald,
may be of interest:
J. B. Hamilton said Orchard grass is
next to blue grass, in my estimation.
Clover and orchard grass will make you a
good pasture.
Mr.. J. II. Dew said Orchard grass is my
favOrite grass. l have tried it with clover
and by itself; and even at this season of
the year have good pasture, 1t will
grow anywhere blue grass will, but | do
not like it by itself, as it forms turf like
broom sedge. When sOwn with clover it
gives a nice appearance to the latter after
it is cut. Orchard grass is even better
than blue grass in thick shade, which
makes it especially adapted to orchards
and wood lots. have tried it in my or
chard. 1t does not take full possession of
the soil, however, like blue grass, nor does
it spread over the ground so well. L have
made no test of the relative yield, but or
chard grass turns out well.
l.. w. BIack.-The punches i'll orchard
grass, to which my neighbor, MIR. Dew,
objects, can be avoided by thick sowing
Glover hay is not good when cut late. 1t
makes cattle slobber. Last season L put
orchard grass and clover together; two
years ago l sowed clover and timothy to-
gether, and except short time, l kept
twenty head of cattle on it, cut it, and
the yield was very large.
Orchard grass is much moderated. 1t
is one of the best grasses. | think farm
ers do not SOW it thick enough. put one
bushel on an acre.
J. H. Dew'-I SOW four bushels of or
chard grass and one of clover and get
three or four tons of hay.

Imnrored Stock in White County.

They have in White county, in this State
a farmers Club which seems to be compos-
ed of live men, and they are taking the
lead in the introduction of improved stock.
We copy the following from that sterling
Agricultural sheet, the Tennessee Agricut-
t,riSt, published at McMinnville:
Mr.. Sorrell, in company with the Sec
rotary of the club, passed through our
town this week with three Cotswold rams
and four Berkshire pigs, which they had
purchased in Bedford county, of w. w.
Summers, for the use of the club. They
hope at the end of the present season to be
able to purchase an improved Short Horn
bull. They are starting out on the line of
improvement with an earnestness that in
sures success and we hope for them and all
other clubs that are making similar efforts
all imaginable prosperity.

Wooden Manufactures,

This promises to become one Of our most
important branches of industry. We clip
from an exchange the following notice of a
large establishment:
The Barber Wooden Mills, at Auburn,
New York, have fifteen sets of machinery,
of which ten are run on cassimeres and
five on carpets. They give employment
to 275 hands, consume 600, 900 pounds of
wool per year, and turn out in the same
time 10000 yards carpet and 10000 yards
cashmere and carriage cloths.
