Letter From Stephen Collins, of Riv-
erwOod Dairy Farm, Tennessee.
He milketh the Cow, runnetb a
Dairy, and speaketh highly of Ten
nessee generally.
ABNER MORSE, Eso.:-It is pleas
urc for me to revisit in memory Pierce
county, Wisconsin, and the good friend
ly people there that we're our associates
and neighbors in times past l then
thought | never could be induced to
leave there, but, strange as it may seem
| am here in Davidson county, Tennes-
see, on a farm of eighteen hundred acres
In four miles of Nashville, belonging to
an excellent man, who furnishes every
thing, and | get certain portion of the
net profits for running the farm. l am
running dairy-have on en- average
about forty COWS giving milk to supply
the calves and dairy. / run wagon
twice a day to the city to sell the sweet
milk, butter aud butter milk, and my
receipts from my wagon average over
one hundred dollars per week. Four
men do the work at twenty dollars per
month and board.
SOW barley aud rye early in the
fall, which furnishes good grazing for
calves and colts in the fall and winter,
and the cows can be turned on by the
first of March. The only months that
can't be depended on for grazing here
are December, January and February.
| have been here three winters, and the
last was as the oldest settlers tell me,
the coolest for forty years, and the
coolest day last winter the thermomct-
er, on this farm, stood ten degrees above
zero. And all our young stock, sheep,
calves aud colts, made good living on
barley, rye and blue grass pastures.
TENNESSEE BEST FOR STOCK.
Now, friend Abner, | assert that
there is no other State where stock
raising can be made SO profitable as in
Tennessee. A COW can be raised and
fed for one.third less here than in
climate further north, making her prof
its in the dairy just so much the greater
in that proportion. There never were
before and never will be again such OPP
portunities as Tennessee now offers 10
enterprising northern farmers who have
the snap, skill and energy to manage
laborers aud stock.
If such men as Major Burnett, your.
self and Osborne Strahl, Of River Falls,
and that Woodworking Cone of Clifton.
were located around this city, using and
managing with the skill aud tact that |
know you all have, your profits would
be thousands where you now make only
hundreds. If you all had lived here
as long as where you now live, the last
man Of you would have grown immense
