IEnrA for the NOnIh,

1t is an easy matter now for our farmers
to improve the breed of their hogs. We
have recently seen several stocks of hogs
where a beginning has been made and the
improvement very apparent. We see
scattered about in various places Berk-
shires, Poland Chinas, but few of them,
however, are pure and thoroughbred.
Farmers can now generally procure these
half, breeders. We do not, however, rec
ommend this plan. 1t is true that a
grade or half breed Berkshire or Poland
China would be better than a scrub but
it will cost but little more to procure
thoroughbred animals for breeders and
these, with our facilities for shipping, can
now be procured at small cost if they
cannot be obtained in the immediate
neighborhood. And we would recommend
that where persons are able to do 50, that
they procure a pair, so as to keep up the
breed. Such a pair will soon furnish
thoroughbred breeders for a large scope
of country, and there is more profit in
raising and selling them than there is in
raising grades. The expense of the first
pair will o be returned ten.fold, We
have lately had several inquiries for
thoroughbred stock for breeders. From
our observation we are inclined to think
that we cannot do better than to raise
the Berkshire and Poland China. The
Essex is a good hog and from what we
have read of the Jersey-Keds we believe
they are also a fine hog, especially so for
those who wish to raise large animals
but we have no personal experience as to
them, and therefore speak only from in
formation. We know, however, that the
other three kinds make fine crosses or
our common stock.-S0uthern Plantation

Insects

L r. Elliott writes: Touching in.
sects, the statement was at one time made
that 200, 900 species were known, and
that we have 10000 in this country, but
only about 1000 are so injurious as to be
of importance. Most of our destructive
insects are from Europe and have driven
out the native kinds, as foreign weeds
have superseded the indigenous. The
insects that work upon the currant
bushes are two moths under name OF
Egeria tippliormis and Elopa ribeqria,
one other a beetle, PSen0cerUS SupcrnOlatuS.
This beetle, with the first named moth,
| consumes the cores of the stems, often
killing them. The best way to destroy
them is to cut away the stems of the cur
rants that are injured and burn them,
for there'the chrysalides are nested, The
other or fourth insect is saw-fy Nem7tus
veatrjcOsus, which, with the second named
moth or caterpillar, produces what we
know as the measuring worm" and lays
its eggs upon the stems and branches Of
the bush, where they remain all winter
and may be found and destroyed. The
saw.hy is OF European origin, and known
as the currant worm. 1t comes out Of
the ground in May, finds the leaves
ready, and lays about a hundred eggs on
the under side along the principal veins.
where they can be seen by turning W
the leaves, which should BE- gathered and
burned. This is the easiest method Of
destroying the insect. If the eggs are
allowed to hatch, the worms Immediately
begin eating the leaves, at first making
little holes, which they soon enlarge, at.
forwards eating the edges, then going tc
other leaves. The worms should be
gathered and destroyed. When they
have finished eating they go into the
ground and form a cocoon near the sur,
face, or under the leaves. These are the
most important enemies of our currant,
and gooseberries, although others are
known which do, at times, very severe
harm to the bushes.

dom from stealsge, oats are cheaper as
stock food than corn. One bushel, or
fifty six pounds of corn costs ftty-eight
cents, while one bushel, or thirty-two
pounds Of oats, costs twenty-nine cents.
making a difference of thirteen cents in
the cost of one hundred pounds OF the
two. Chemical analysis shows that oats
contain twelve per cent, of albuminoids,
or flesh and muscle-prOducing principle,
while corn contains ten per cent. 1t will
thus be seen that for work animals, oats
are more valuable than corn as food when
equal weights are used. Consider now,
that ono hundred pounds of oats cost
thirteen cents less thaa one hundred
pounds, OF corn, and the case stands de-
cidedly in favor of oats for work stock.
In lat producing properties, corn has
seven per cent, oats six per cent. 1t will
ha seen, therefore, that when equal
weights only are compared, corn has the
advantage as a fat-producer. But taking
the cost in consideration, there is no
choice in this respect. Another decided
advantage of oats for IL climate, and
especially for summer use, is, that while
they supply more muscle, they are less
heating and more in%vigorating to the
work animal consuming them, Still
another advantage is freedom from rotten
grain and weevil, which frequently cause
corn to iniure stock. Still another item
in favor OF oats is that freedmen do not
eat them, nor can they 80 rapidly sell
them when stolen. This corresponds
with the fact that ninety-six per cent. Of
the C respondents report that cotton
can not be raised on bought-supplies.
E~ighty.four per cent. say that cotton can
be raised at a profit at present prices on
supplies made at home. This is readily
understood, in view of the fact that three
times as much is homemade that, as
reported by correspondents, only forty
seven per cent, of a home supply of pork
is raised in the state, and that, while it
costs an average Of sixty dollars per head
| to raise a horse or a mule on the farm
81, 000, 900 were expended last season in
their purchase from droves, az an average
cost per head of more than twice the
cost Of raising them. Notwithstanding
this enormous annual outlay in horses
and mules, and the fact that it costs only
sixty dollars to raise them to three.year-
old, only six thousand and thirty.three
are reported annually f0aled in the state.

Grazing In the South and West
Tho official roDort of tho 0ovarnma

GrAElnK In the SOuln anu vest
The official report of the government
directors of the Union Pacific railroad to
the department of the interior shows a
large gain on the receipts of the last fiscal
year over those of the preceding year.
The earnings for the last year were
SIG, 900, 600. Among the items Of increase
the cattle trade holds a conspicuous
place--75,00 0 head having been carried
during the year. That very many OF
these cattle were raised on the natural
grazing lands of western Texas tells the
world as plainly as facts can declare any
thing in what United States, climate and
latitude the best cattle pastures are to be
found and made for the benefit of civil,
lied a Cattle by the hundred thou
sand are driven long distances north to
reach railway transportation, because the
grass and climate Of the north are less
favorable to stock-husbandry than those
of the sunny south.
Take the line of the contemplated
southern railway from Memphis to San
Diego on the Pacific, and not one acre in
a thousand of the best grazing lands on
the continent has a hoOf of farm stock of
any kind utilizing the elements of choice
beef, mutton, wool and horse1esh now
going to waste. Gold in nutritious grass
is already on the surface of the ground,
while tens of thousands of families are
out of employment and suffering for
bread. The same productive industry
that gives the Union Pacific company
GIG, 000, 900 income will do even more for
an independent southern road, where
labor is far better rewarded. In the icy
north, where lake navigation is closed
some six months in twelve, the timely aid
of congress has developed a strictly in
land commerce equal to $780, 600 a
year. We do not complain Of this as a
sectional use Of national funds, but we do
point to il as a precedent where appro-
priations have been continued fifty years
with the sanction of public opinion.
Down to this hour, the federal govern
ment has done next to nothing to develop
the rich grazing lands of the south and
southwest, except To abolish the old
system of planting, and impose a direct
tax on cotton in the hands of the pro-
ducer. How these operations have added
to the fertility and value of southern
lands is known to all. 1t is idle to expect
that the hands so prompt to tear down
old institutions will be equally ready to
{, assist in building new ones Of equal or
greater value. Our strength lies in our
NEGLECTED agriculture and undeveloped
cattle and sheep-husbandry. Our states
men utterly fail to appreciate the old
Roman maxim, He is a public benefac-
tor who makes two blades of grass grow
where n grew BEFORE" CAL flesh is
grass" but somehow the south has a
hereditary prejudice against turning
grass into meat and coined gold. Plant
eTs in their zeal to kill grass kill their
plantations at the same time. Here lies
our great mistake.-FrCm The Nashville

DAILY SILVER STATE.
HAYES CABINET.

The Cabinet selected by Hayes indi-
Gates that he intends to adapt con.
servative policy. Two of the members,
Evarts and Schurz, were Liberal Re.
publicans, who supported Greeley four
years ago, and one. Key of Tennessee
is q Democrat. Though the nomina-
tiohs have been sent to the Senate, they
have not been confirmed, and it is
doubtful if such radicals as Morton and
Blaine will vote for the appointment
of Schurz and Key. 1t is asserted that
there is much dissatisfaction among
Republican leaders over these appoint.
ments, and that they will not be CON-
tirmed until there is reconciliation.
Hayes is evidently intent on making
friends in the South, by appointing o
Democrat from that section as Post
Master General, but IT is doubtful if so
transparent an effort will be success
full. Key. who is the successor of
Andy johnson in the Senate, can
scarcely retain the respect of the PEG.
pie of his State if he accepts place in
the Cabinet of a President whose title
is based upon the disfranchisement of
che majority of the voters of two
Southern States. In justice to the
section which he represents in the Sen
ate he should decline the questionable
honor. and suggest for the position the
members of the Returning Board.
