HORsE.BREEDING ON A BIG SCALE.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune has recently visited some of
the large horse breeders in Wyoming
Territory. Mr.. T. A. Kent has herd
of eight hundred mares and twenty
stations. The mares are native Cali
fornia "bronchos," costing him on the
average $3.50 each. His stations are
from the East, weighing l,225 to 1,640
pounds each, and cost him on the av-
erage S69l60 each. He callshis young
stock American bronchos," small,
tough animals, but too light for draught
purposes. He intends, by procuring
heavy stations to cross upon these, to
be able to supply the steady demand
for good, fair-sized, active horses, both
for wagon and the saddle, that will be
unequaled for bottom ayd endurance.
He expects his California : "bronehos"
will transmit their remarkable hardi-
ness to their offspring without much
diminution, if due care is taken in
breeding to males of strong eonstitu-
ton, and of families noted for bottom.
He follows, in a measure, the natu-
raj method of breeding, only exercising
a general supervision over his herds
during the summer season. "At the
commencement of the season, each
stallion is corraled with about forty
mares every night for a week or more.
The horse soon establishes his authori-
ty over his harem, and may be trusted
to take care Of it himself. He keeps
his troop well together, and does not
allow it to approach or mix with an
other, He often finds himself spelling
for fight with some other patriarch
of the range, and, on such occasions,
stops his wives at safe distance, and
goes out alone to meet the enemy. If
defeated, he retires IN good order,
driving his wives before him; but If
victorious. he looks out sharply, and if
possible, captures and drives into his
harem a stray wife or two belonging to
his rival. AS a rule, stallion will not
allow any geldings in his troop. In the
fall the stations are taken away, after
which the mares have TO be regularly
herded."
Mr.. Kent hopes to make a profit of
at least twenty-five per cent. on his in
7estments, which are quite large-S43,-
600 the first season. 1t costs him
about $1,000 per annum to herd and
keep his stock, and interest, reckoned at
lowest western rates, would be $1,000
more. He estimates that shis young
stock will, taken all together, be worth
at the end of the fourth year $4,000.
There is plenty of land in Tennessee
to raise horses as well as other stock to
the. best advantage. 1t is better econ
omy to own the soil improved by the
droppings of domestic animals than
not to own it, as it gains largelysin val
lie. With us sowing grass seedis the
bug-bear, and prevents progress in this

CuLTIYATING ORCHARDS.

Suel Foster, of Muscatine, Iowa, who
has cultivated fruit for more than
twenty years, and who has a very fine
specimen orchard at that place, says:
al know of no orchard, either on my
own premises, nor have l seen or heard
of one in this county, that is this year,
so productive as this specimen orchard.
/ have kept it under the pillow all the
time, usually with a crop of potatoes
or corn; no manure. Most of my
orchards have been plowed until they
came into bearing, then seeded to
clover, and when the timothy and blue
grass came IN, then plowed again. l
am now fully satisfied that the orchard
should be plowed every year; the less
grass the better. Plow in late fall and
early spring.
There is no question as to the benefit
of tillage TO all fruit trees, as well as
grape vines, and all small fruits from
a strawberry up. Let us be contented
with one good crop at time, and not
try to raise fine clover or grass with
apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums,
ounces or grapes.

AN INTERNAL FIREBRAND.
Civil Rights and the Congressional
Election I'm Tcnnessee-The Demo-
Gratis will Certainly Sweep Eight
nfGfriRfa

H.y. Il. in the Cincinnati Commercial.
The Republicans will carry the First dis
triet, and that is the only one where they
hare reasonable hope. Indeed, there are
none of the other districts that are at all
doubtful, except the Second. But even
giee that to the Republicans, and the Dem
Oczts will certainly gain five. They will
carry the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Sew
eIEh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth.
The First district is ROderick Random
Buffers property, and no sort of cOmbina-
ton has ever been sufficiently powerful to
get him out. The district is Republican
by about three thousand majority. Butler
opposes the Civil Rights bill as bitterly as
any Democrat in the State. Otherwise he
would be doomed. No man can be elected
TO Office in this State who favors that meas
ure.
The Second District has been Republi-
can since the war, until the August cleo
tiOn, when the Democrats carried nearly
every county in it. In this district live
BroWnlow and Maynard, and the revolu-
ton there was solely on account of the
Civil Rights bill. Knox county, for in
stance, has always been the stronghold of
the Republican party. In 1872 the Demo-
Gratis got but Los votes in the whole cOun-
ty, while the Republicans had ) 1868. Near
ly three thousand of these Republican vo-
tiers were white, there being but about
eight hundred negro voters in the county.
Look at these figures, and then think what
a revolution there must have been TO have
given the county to the Democrats last Au-
gust by nearly zone thousand majority.
Civil Rights did it. Had that internal
firebrand not been thrown into the South

GOLD AND SILVER.
PORKIGN EXCHANGE
LAR WARRANTS.
FINANCIAL.

We have nothing new to note in money
matters. Business is very dull with the
banks and they are doing nothing in the
way of discounts, while the banks report
bonds and stocks as entirely nominal.
Exchange on New 7 Ork is taken By the
banks at par and is sold by them at 81 per
thousand premium.
Gold is a shade firmer, closing in New
York at 1893. For the small lots offered
here dealers pay los, while they hold at
1O9J. Silver is taken at 102 for halves and
quarters.
Government bonds are slightly better.
The 5-2Os of 1867 are quoted in New York
at III. They would bring about 116i in
this market.
Tennessee bonds appear to be regaining
from the recent decline, and are quoted in
New York at "A and at 53655. We hear
of no sales in this market.
Comptroller's warrants are dull, with no
demand by taxpayers. They may be
quoted at 9Od9lc.
Our stocks and bonds are very dull, with
nothing doing. The fact that a dividend
has been declared on Nashville, Chatta-
nOOga and st. Louis Railway stock has not
caused au advance and in fact, it is offered
for sale quite freely at pc Nashville and
Decatur Railroad stock is quiet at 40. Fol

believe the Republicans would have carried
Tennessee in less than four years. They
were making fine strides in that direction.
But their fat is in the fire now. The In
fernal firebrand has done for them wha
the Ku-Klux accomplished for the Northern
Democrats.
The Third District will be carried by
General Dibrell, Democrat, by not less
than three thousand majority. Dibrell is
a fine old-time gentleman, and the worst
thing that his enemies have been
able to rake up against him yet, is the fact
that he was General in the rebel army.
Well, what if he was? Il is rather late to
be Directing to him on that account. The
war has been over about ten years.
General Dibrell is man of fine quail
ties. For thirty-fiYe years he has been
consistent member ofthe Methodist Church.
You may be sure that this long Christian
life will count in his favor among a class
that are not few.
These three districts take us cut Of East
Tennessee. In Middle and West Tennes-
see, the Democrats have their nominees in
the field and will carry every district.
Bright in the Fifth District, got the noni-
nation after a long and severe struggle.
Unfortunately, Bright can not be defeated,
for the Republicans are far below par in
that district.
In the Nashville district the Democrats
have nominated John +. House, an old
Wing and a very able man. These old
Wings are rather good class of men. |
notice almost invariably that the old Wings
are softer in their feelings toward the ne
groes than the old Democrats. They are
more charitable, more humane, more con-
ciliatorY and more kindly disposed toward
the unfortunate black race. l don't know
why this is so, but know from actual OBJ
servatiOn that it is so. There is nothing
that keeps tie old Wings out of the Re-
publican party but bundle or two of ex-
ploded prejudices and that internal fire
brand, the Civil Rights bill.
In the West Tennessee districts the
Democrats will sweep everything before
them. None of the districts have major
ity of negro voters, or anything like it, and
white Republicans are rather scarce in that
direction. The Civil Rights bill has
driven thousands of them back to their
first love or rather to what they consider a
lesser evil than the party of too many
equal rights.

GRAIN AND GRANGERS IN CALI.
FORNIA.

There appears to be rather serious
hitch in the expectation of wheat from
California, while scores of idle ships are
In port waiting for carsoes. Farmers
organized in Oranges are said to hold
six hundred thousand tons of wheat
but cannot make satisfactory terms
with the owners of vessels for trans
portation, nor with grain merchants to
sell. The San Francisco Nelrs Letter
biames the farmers, and says:
If We seek the cause of this trade
depression, we turn at once to the
farmer, who is largely indebted to the
merchant for supplies furnished during
the past SIX months. He has gone and
joined the Changers, and as a body
they have leagued together, and de-
clare they Will not sell their wheat
now; that they will hold it until such a
time as exporters Will pay what they
1.-THE farmers) call the value of their
grain. They have a controversy to
settle, they claim, with an i'm
aginaIy grain ring. Well, the beau
ty of this is that the firm of E.
Z. Morgan a. Sons, claiming to be the
agents of the Changers, has chartered
one hundred ships, more or less, at
high freights, say at an average Of "a
to Liverpool, and thus far this season
these Changers have loaded three or
four only of these large vessels at
"a 5s., or thereabouts. This house has
besides in port some twenty other ships,
which have to be loaded within thirty
days, with wheat or flour, or else pay a
heavy bill of demurrage on the ships.
The question is, Will the grain be forth
coming when required? Judging from
the wheat movements since harvest
(six weeks, we say it cannot be done.
1t would seem that Changers have
their troubles as well as other people.
The practice of running into debt TO
merchants, and, in effect, mortgaging
their crops in advance, is the rock on
which many split. Experience will, it
is to be hoped, correct this widespread
error.

A DENSE FARMING POPULATION.

The valley OF the PO extends from
east to west across the italian PENN
sula, from the Apennines to the Adri-
atic-a distance, on an airline, Of
nearly three hundred miles. The width
of the valley between the mountain
walls which bound the plain averages
about eighty-fve miles; and it contains
something like $4,000 square miles of
land, as level and rich as the prairies
of Illinois. The mountain-slopes and
valleys which are cultivated and dense
ly populated, will add about four thou
sand square miles to the Pc valley
making in all thirty thousand square
miles of arabic land, or an area some
thing larger than the State of Indiana.
On this plain, and within these noun
tain confines, there live and are SUBJ
sisted twelve millions of souls! This
area is scarcely as large as ireland, but
1t supports twice the population of that
thickly inhabited island. 1t contains
as many people as the ten Western
States, including Ohio and Wisconsin,
while its territory is but the size of the
smallest of them. The ten Western
States, if populated as densely as the
valley Of the Pc, would contain 220,-
0O0,0 of inhabitants-that is to say,
400 to the square mile.

ssNof VERY Well,

A feeling Of vague bodily discomfort, which
does not amount to positive illness, and yet is
incompatible with health, is often aptly de-
scribed by the phrase, s'NOt very we'll" This
feeling usually arises from a deficiency of the
nervous power which is required 20 keep the vi

Hen MANURE FOR ONIONs.

The GernsGlstO1On Telegraph says:
"Hen manure, where only small guam.
tity is gathered, is better adapted to
the growing of onions than anything
we ever tried. Although a very pow
erful manure, we have dosed our onion
beds literally, and we never saw any
but the best results. When large
quantities are saved, it should be made
fine, mixed with two orethree times its

amounting to a great number during
the season, and covering, when put to-
gether, some 600 square feet to each
animal. These blothches cover the
GRASS and smother it, leaving barren
spot during the season, and the season
ensuing. The liquid, like the solid ex-
crement, is distributed equally, falling
on spots in excess to the damage of the
grass. which for the season, will remain
untouched by the herd And here is
another loss covering about the same
area as before. Here much fer
hIzing matter becomes almost USE
less, and is besides an impedIment and
a nuisance. If this were evenly dis
tributed, as it would have been if saved
as when soiling, it would have been a
great benefit to the land on which it is
now lost. This is seen, yet not con-
sidered. During the season, there is
more or less of wet. and some very wet
weather, soaking and softening the
land which yields to the hoofs of the
stock, packing the soil and retarding
the growth of the grass. All these
spots put together, viii form much
larger area than both the droppings
and urine combined. Besides, every
pressure of the sharp hoof when the
ground is firm, is a damage to the feed.
Thus the field is trampled, damaged
and fouled over. Is it a wonder that
pastures suffer In comparison with
meadows? The wonder would seem to
be that there is not a greater discrer
pancy.
Stock and the weIl-manured ground
that supports them, need not be far
apart; but cattle and horses should not

SOILING Oh PAsTURING.

Thinking farmers are giving thought,
time and experiment to the subject OF
feeding cattle, mares and colts and
other stock in yards, under sheds and
in stables, on green feed cut generally
with a machine, a practice called "soil-
ing" and pasturing the same animals
in fields in the usual way. The new
system is working an entire revolution
in both husbandry and tillage. A cor
respondent in the Country Gentleman
makes this statement:
Let us look little at this: the drop
ping of excrement by COWS and horses
