Raise stock

1t has proved an almost universal rule,
that those farmers who devote large
proportion of their farms and surplus
means to stock raising, are the most sue
cessful, and also that their success is in
proportion to the improvement TO which
they are enabled to bring their stock. 1t
is the stock farms that grow rich, and
thereby enrich their owners. 1T is the
cotton plantations and planters, and the
exclusively grain farms and their tillers
that are alike becoming worn out and
IMPOVERISHED former of their natural
productiveness and the latter both phys
ically and financially. Now is the best
season OF all the year for change.
Stock will prosper on less in the South
than in those States where they have to
feed for seven months of the year; and
this great advantage will more than
compensate for lack of experience in the
Southern grower But no stock will
pay on the starvation principle. 1t has
often been tried and failed in every ease.
1t is liberal feeding the best breeds that
pay; and these lay in every case, and in
proportion to the excellence of the breed
and the liberality in feeding so as to
keep the stock in a thriving condition
from birth, winter and summer, it will
not be difficult to make two year old
steer weigh as much as one at three when
fed in the ordinary way, or a pig at nine
months as heavy as hog is usually at
eighteen months. The same rule holds
good in all classes of domestic animals

And yet is there no medium between
the servant and the scholar? May not
all reasonable wants Of the body be at
tended to without sacrificing thereto all
mental culture and spiritual grace May
not the disposition OF the fringe Of the
towels and heels of the stockings be sac.
rifced to a speaking acquaintance with
grammar and written Difference to The-
toric2 Must an over-nicety concerning
the things that are seen perpetuaily
triumph over all regard for the higher
life OF mind and soul? Is the ralment
more than the body and the meat more
than the life, that so much OF the lmper-
ishable should be sacrificed for that which
perisheth And yet far be 1t from me
to disparage the day Of small things or
lose sight Of the oft-repeated truth that
'strifes make up the sum Of life" The
small thing is equally sublime with the
great thing when it serves the same pur-
pose or signifies noble tendency. 1t is
contemplate only when it loses sight OF
and endeavors to make subservlent the
great thing.
Order and neatness in home are tru-
IydeIightful when they suggest harmony
of soul and its accompanying strength OF
mind and depth Of heart but when the
affections are repressed, the senslblliies
hunted. and the mind itself SO dwarfed
and warped than even its moral perceP
ttons are confused for the sake Of pam
full exactness and regularity concerning
temporal things, one can but be per.
suaded that the end is unworthy of the
means.
Nothing seems more appropriate IN
this connection than the time-wOrn adagt
that g truth lies between the two ex
tremes."
