Grade Up.

Fa- me- rs, grade up your stock ifyou
do not feel able to buy and breed thor
oughBred stock, breed your common
stock this Spring to none bnt thorough>
bred males. Secure the services OF some
of the thcrOugbbreds of your neighbors,
or procure one Of your own of some reli
able breeder, and when once you have a
lot of grade stock, either cattle, horses,
hogs or sheep, y@u will never raise scrubs
again, for farmers raise stock for the pur~
pose of making the most money out of
their farms by feeding their crops rather
than sell the grain and hay to dealer,
then the kind Of stock thai will ma ture
the quickest and grow the largest is the
most profitable for meat, and it is now
no IoL ger a question, but a settled fact,
that the grades of our common stock
crossed with thoroughbreds are more
profitable to Western farmers than rais-
ing scrubs, while the first cost of grad irg
up is small, compared to the &C ull pot
its in dollars and cents. Too mlnv
farmers just heIe are penny wise and
puond foolish, because they caffhot get
fine thoroughbred males as cheap 81

start-tO IN AXE the first Outlay-but the
world moves, and our stock must i'm

crops. The Middle States made a very
small increase per cent in PennsYI'

4 per cent. in Delaware; an aggregate
increase Of about I25 600 acres. The
Southern States, from Maryland to Ten

crease, adding half million acres to
an area of three and a half millions. 1t

her area in nearly the same proportion,
and Kansas 30 per cent. in the counties

To our fair young friend, who is fully

be Of but little use in giving ad-

We notice IN the Memphis papers the
announcement of the death of Captain j.
Yves Sneed. Many friends of the de-
ceased, in this place, will be much pain
ed to hear it. Captain Sneed was dear
to all who knew him his whole nature
was guiless, and we believe a feeling of
hatred was unknown to h;m-always
kind, always lenient in his judgment of
others, always ready to help the needy
and un ortunate. We rarely ever met a
man more worthy of the love and affection
of his friends.
