"A correspondent VI Vie Dtblt1iuOIc
American says: The ordinary plan
of drawing the steer down TO the

with an ak. is too slow for the
wholesale butchery carried on here.
About one dozen head are driven
into a small pen, just sufficiently
large TO hold that number closely
packed, and O gate forced to behind
them. This pen has an open slat
platform across the top of it, upon
which two men are stationed. with
poles with sharp pointed knives
fixed on the end of them. With q
rapiiity acquired by long practice,
they plunge their spears into the
necks of the .affrighted +. animals,
cutting the jugular vein, and each
successfully falls as if struck down
with an Ak. The blood spurts out
in streams as if from a dozen foun
tains, and in less than a minute the
whole pen full are down quivering

The Prospects Of Agriculture I'm the

The Prospects Of Agriculture In ahe
SOntAa.
The New Orleans Picayune has ae-
counts from all parts of the Gulf
States showing that the farmers are
planting. extensively Of corn, wheat,
oats, and rice: Labor is abundant,
and is secured at rates much lower
than have heretofore ruled. The
change OF, the policy of planters from
hiring on shares to monthly wages has
had the effect Of clearing the planta
tons of oilers, and of bringing into
the field large number of laborers.
The weather has been most favorable
for an early start of the cane, and the
indications for a good crop are graft
flying. Ia many of the parishes the
extent of land to be sown in rice will
be one-fourth more than was cultiva-
ted last season. From the Attakapas
(Southern louisiana corn will be the
crop upon which the, planters will re,
ly. In many quarters it is already up
and seems to be hourishing. From
Texas fattering reports are received.
The farmers are in fine spirits, and
hope that the end may be as good as
the beginning, In Alabama large
tracts of the magnificent prairie and
canebrake, which stretch from DEM
opolis to Columbus, have been pre-
pared for corn and cereals. Many
plantations have been converted into
stock farms in consequence of the exo-
dus of negroes After three success
sive failures of the cotton crop in that
section, the planter has been forced to
diversity his crops. and. from his ina
bility to borrow money, finds himself
at last on the right road to independ-
ence As an indication of what Geor-
gia is doing. the newspapers are filed
with congratulations that a complete
revolution has been effected in agri-
culture In the country around Col
umbos, about 10000 bushels of oats
have been sowed, which is almost
twice the amount of last year. The
acreage in wheat is much greater than
last year, and farmers are preparing to
plant thirty per ceat. at least more
corn and use Fifty per cent. less of
commercial manures. Altogether, the
outlook for 1874 in the Gulf States is
most promising. Necessity is stern
