dairy stock. for II is reasonable 10 suppose
that those first mentioned have become
established and are not NO apt TO be
injured, though we shall always advocate
good feeding, liberal in quantity, and OF
the best and most desirable quality.
In either milk or a butter dairy, the
products Of that dairy command higher
prices during the winter than during the
warm summer months; and they should
do so, for the cost of producing this
butter and milk, consequent on the
increased labor and expense in feeding, is
much more In winter than in summer
when they have the benefit Of plenty Of
good pasture.
II there is plenty of good feed on hand,
and you expect to give plenty of it, TO
be seconded by the best care and manage
ment, then we ray IL will pay 10 have
your mature animals drop their calves
during winter. BY the time they have
decreased considerably in their flow OF
milk, gras, comes in to heighten the flow
and keep it up till they are nearly ready
to 90 dry.
Until we know Of a better plan we
shall continue Ia practice the above a.
near IA circumstances will permit US to
do 10, for we have had good evidence that
it is good plan. II there be better
one we are anxious 10 know what is II,

a Revival In Farsni ng.

That a revival is going on in all that
relates TO agricultural interests is plain
enough TO the most ordinary comprehen-
sion. The success, OF tb6tarmiDg occu-
patton, but especially its reliance for a
man, is on almost all tongues The great
crop of the present year have come for
ward TO prove the value of this occupation
as il never has before been demonstrated
in this country. Men are at leased con
vinced that agriculture is at the bottom
of our national prosperity. They COM
prehend In an entirely new way how
branches of business depend on it. But
Tor this years crops, we might still have
waited, as we have been waiting for the
last four years, for a start in trade and
manufacturer. ANY person can now see
that it would have been impossible to do
anything whatever if farming had not
put it's long and powerful lever under
and pried the country out Of the rut in
which il was set.--Ifass. Ploughmaa,

Manufacture the Cotton In the South.

The Boston Advertiser prints the fol.
lowing very interesting private letter
from a retired merchant and manu-
facturer of that city. His views afford
valuable food for thought TO the people
of the SOUTH
The shipment from Great Britain OF
cotton yarns, called there twist, is vastly
greater than is generally understood
here. Steam power there never can be
as cheap as it has been, and must gradually
grow dearer Al coal diminishes, and one
hundred and twenty-five milliens tons
year is a frightful quantity when the
supply il limited, as was proved in Mr..
Gladstone's premiership.
Great Britain has paid millions through
DR.. Livingstone and others to discover
climate and soil which yield cotton
fibre to compete with that of this coun.
try, but without success. II would seem
that the Maker Of all things gave
patent to our southern states TO pro-
duce cotton. Where this cotton grows
are some waterfalls equal to any in exist
ence for motive power. Why should not
portion Of the four and halt millions
bales of cotton, now mostly sent from the
states where grown, be spun into yarns
by a power cheaper than England ever
knew, and shipped TO countries now sup
piled by England, where motive power is
made from coal mined, in some instances,
three thousand feet below the surface of
the earth7 No one south or north
doubts the culture of cotton will go on
increasing till the quantity is six times
greater than at present.
With black laborin the cotton fields,
and white labor in the mills, why should
not our southern states become the
great centre of cotton manufacturing
within reasonable time? England is
new in this branch of industry. At our
peace with her in l7s3, eleven million
pounds were spun yearly, about twelve
DAYS spinning in this country now. The
south Is spinning laY pppahafx n ~aaiiap
New England is doing it. Who can
doubt, II the southern states now take
hold Of this business, that the wealth Of
the United States within half century
will be largely with them
II have corresponded with some promi-
nent southern men upon this subject,
and it is most favorably thought OF. A
great deal Of cotton machinery for the
south has gone from eastern machine
shops within year" E
