Stock Grow ing thefuture
of Farming.

There are very few farmers who are not
ready to acknowledge that the rising of
wheat is doubtful propriety, that it almost
never brings a profit, but on the other
hand, loss is generally entailed by grow
ing this very uncertain and land destroy
ing crop.
The English, Irish and Scotch farmers
aim to sell as little off the farm as pos
sible in form of grain or forage, having
long since learned that this could not be
done, maintaining the fertility ofthe land
at the same time. Feeding grain, roots
of success, because if you haul your hay
and grain to market for ten years your
land, like an old coat, becomes reduced
in value in proportion as tits worn. Even
when no profit is made at farming, if you
support your family, pay your taxes, and
maintain the fertility of your land, there
are at least no backward steps being taken.
The man who grows wheat not only fails
to profit himself, but his land, like the
coat on his back, is wearing out, and his
steps are backward continually. 1t hardly
needs an illustration orargumentto to prove
these long established facts, and those
farmers who improve their facilities for
keeping, breeding. and feeding the more
profitable descriptions Of cattle, sheep, and
swine, giving good care to othese, will,with
these beginning, lay the foundation for
an easier system of farming, having the
fertility saving clause, with chances for
increased profits to commend it.
These thoughts are not advanced to
pave the way for commendation of any
particular class of stock, nor any branch
of either class. The taste of men -, and
of their SONS, takenin connection with
the capabilities of their farmers, govern
the selections to be kept, whether of one
kind, cattle or swine, or of both with
sheep added.

HISTORICAL SKETCHES
OF THE
Early Settlement of South Carolina.
BY REV. ROBERT LATHAM.


BIOGRAPHY OF GEN. ROBERT HOWE.
Our plan allows us the amplest latitude
Whatever will throw light upon the history
of South Carolina, we claim as legitimately
within the scope of our undertaking. With
this understanding, it is our intention, from
time to time, to give brief biographical
sketch of those heroes who struggled fol-
American independence.
Of the private life of him whose name
heads this sketch, comparatively nothing can
be said. General Robert Howe was born in
Brunswick, North Carolina. 1t would be in.
teresting to give sketch of his early history
but this we cannot do. Like many other
great men, he sprang into public life, not by
degrees, but at leap. Sometimes men con.
troll the circumstances by which they are sur.
rounded, and become great in spite Of their
surroundings. During the Revolutionary pc
riod of American history, the circumstances
made the men. Merchants, mechanics, farm.
ers, lawyers, physicians and literary amateurs
were called from their various avocations and
placed in command of armies 1t was an
age of heroes. For long time, the political
storm had been gathering. Boys drank in
the spirit of resistance with their mothers
milk. Robert Howe was patriot by all the
instincts of his nature, and by the force Of
education.
In 1773, we find him in the House Of Com
mons of his native State. The Virginia Leg
islature had passed certain resolutions with
reference to the encroachments of England
upon the liberties of the American colonies.
One object of these resolutions was to secure
concert of action among the colonies. The
Legislature of North Carolina approved of
these resolutions, and appointed COMMITTEES
of correspondence. Robert Howe was a men,
ber of this committee. ....r

CHAPTER Nv.

A year had elapsed since Sir Henry Lyn.
don'a bequest had come into the Captains
possession; and affairs continued in much
the same state as the last chapter has des-
cribed-the rector being by turns fretful and
gloomy, or unnaturally gay and excited still
fulfilling his parish duties, yet in less salts
factory manner than formerly, for his heart
was in them no longer. 1t was an absolute
task to him now to write sermon, and he
brought out old ones oftener than met with
the approval of those of his hearers who we're
critically inclined. His visits to the poor
we're less frequent, his manner to them more
abrupt and less cordial than before. He was
often heard to find fault with their careless
ness and their ingratitude, shortcomings upon
which he had, in former days, been wont to
look with more lenient eyes. Among his &C.
quaintances he was constrained and reserved
people noticed the change and wondered what
had come over him. At home it was worse.
His children no longer approached him with
familiarity, but kept shyly aloof, fearing a
rebuff: Even Lily ventured but seldom in his
study, not knowing when her presence there
would be welcome. Only his wife, in her
clinging and faithful love, kept as near to
him as ever, hoping still by her constant ten
derness and untiring, patient, though stealthy
efforts, to win him back to the ways he had
forsaken, and exercise the mysterious demon
that possessed him. Subduing all pride and
selflove, she would not suffer herself to resent
the sights he sometimes cast upon her, or to
show, by look or word, how deeply they woun.
ded her. She ministered to him with the
patience and fidelity with which she would

CHAPTER III.

CdAPIER Ill.
It was some time before the change, which
stealthily and gradually crept over Mr.. Lyn
don, became apparent to those around him
fos at firstit only affected him inwardly, and
he was able to pursue his usual avocation'
with his customary diligence and tranquility
outsoard tranquility, st least. 1t began te
show itself, by degrees, in an absent and pre-
occupied manner which was not habitual te
him; fits of silence and abstraction, as though
some secret care were weighing on his mind
Then his temper grew sharper-his wonted
mild and gentle tone sometimes took an un
pleasant accent, and he would make hasty
or pettish answer to some innocent remark,
ifit did not chance to accord with his present
mood.
His wife was the first to notice these symp'
toms, and they caused her much anxiety
She fancied they might be the precursors Of
illness, and often asked him if he felt unwell
But on one occasion he seemed 50 annoyed by
the question, and replied with so much asper'
ity, that she did not venture upon any farther
remark. She could not, however, hide the
concern she felt, and followed him with such
wistful looks whenever he was in one of these
unamiable moods, as plainly to betray what
was in her mind.
"What are you watching me so for, Marga-
ret p he asked her once, on an occasion Of
this kind. "Is there anything wrong about
me?'
"Not that know of, my DEAR" she gently
answered for she was afraid of offending him
by more direct reply.
"Not that you know Of? What does that
meant Do you suspect anything wrong,
then p
II never said so, Edward-didsI%
mo, but you bok-you watch me and fol-
low me about in an odd kind of way. If 1
say or do anything that you don't like, or
don't approve Of, can't you tell me so, and be
done with it!"
A couple of months before, Mr.. Lyndon
never would have dreamed of speaking to his
wife in such tone-a tone ofsuppressed irri-
tation, as if trying to find vent for his resent
ment at some real or fancied injury. She felt
it keenly, but loved him too sincerely, and
had her own temper besides too thoroughly
under control, to allow herself to make an an
cry reply.
Il will not watch you, if you dislike it, she
answered, mildly; "but did not suppose it
could displease you. You never used to OBJ
ject to my following you about, as you call it.
"Ofc I like to have you near me-" he
reioined, in some conjunction for his hasty
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1876-03-30
