Southern Live Stock Journal
In this journal, for March 10th, inqui-
ry is made in behalf of a subscriber as to
g the value of cotton seed hulls thrown
in barn yard, and suffered to lie there
and absorb urine, and become mixed
with the droppings for a season" Cotton
seed hulls contain less than one per cent.
of nitrogen, and but very small guam
tity of potash and phosphoric acid, 1t
would not, therefore, be profitable to pur-
chase them at 81 30 per ton, if to be
hauled a considerable distance. Straw,
grass, leaves, especially tender leaves, as
those of the pine, would be preferable if
convenient to obtain. The straw or grass
would be better cut up short. The hull;
would have the advantage of being more
communted, But neither would be
worth the expense of handling if placed
loosely in the barn yard. They would
during a season loose their nitrogen, and
Off bleached by rains much of the pot
ash. Under cover or composted with
muck or soil, either would be valuable,
if kept moist and not too warm, The
hulls would make very good bedding
by being strewn in the stalls daily as
needed, Here, like straw and leaves,
they decompose partially forming humuS.
and absorbing ammonia, etc, Thus the
hull may be rendered serviceable, though
possessing less intrinsic ferlilizing value
than many seem to imagine.

The London Farmer says that at q
recent sitting at the Paris academy OF
Sciences letter was read from Mr.. Lal-
imam, I'm which he describes larva or
grub which has been seen to devour
ninety four "phylloxeras in the course
of ten minutes. He proposes for it the
name of "PhylloXera cannibale. NJ.
Balbiui says that the Iarva belongs to the
genus Surplus, or some closely allied one,
but declines to classify it more closely
until he has seen the perfect insect. The
larva destroys phylloXera by selling
upon it and sucking out its fluid con
tents, and this maneuver it repeats until
satisfied Repletion is not readily reach
ed it appears, for it thinks nothing of
twelve dozen victims for 4 mere early
breakfast
European vine growers are felicitating
themselves upon the discovery of
really scientific method of fighting the
phyloxera, sill their efforts to subdue the
pest by legislating drowning, poisoning
with lphocarbolates, and blowing up
With dynamite having come to naught.
They now put their trust in Il diligent
and voTaciOus insect of the genus from
bidiOn, which insect is happiest when 1t
IS devouling an enormous number of
phylloXera. The Trombidion is red
dish orange spider of almost microscope
cal minuteness, bearing three brown
lines IongitudinaIly on the back. Its
habitat is the undsr side of the leaves of
strawberries, but a large part of its ex-
istence it passes underground, where it
lives upon the phylloxera infesting the
grape roots. Many vine growers who
have satisfied themselves that such are
the habits of this interesting little spider
will plant Strawberries among their
grapes Toronto Globe.

yirauc ina whistIing.

An old farmer once said he would not
have hired man on his farm who did
not habitualIy whistle. He had always
hired whistlers said he never knew a
whistling laboror to find fault with his
food, bis bed, or complain of any little
extra work he was asked to perform.
Such a man was generally kind to chill
dren and to animals in his care. He
would whistle a chilled lamb into warmth
and life, and would bring his hat full OF
eggs from the barn without breaking one
OF them. He found such a man more
careful about closing gates, putting up
bars. and seeing that the nuts on his
pillow were all properly frightened
before be took it to the field. He never
knew ii whistling hired man to beat or
kick q COW, or drive her on run into a
stable lie had noticed that the sheep
he fed in the yard and shed gathered
around him without fear. He never had
employed whistler who was not thought
full and economical.

sheep Raising in Kinds County.

Sheep raising has been carried
on successfully about here by many
persons in the last few years. | may
mention g. ". Mimms, Esq, again as
one and / viii speak Of others again
also Of grasses, clover, stock generally,
bees. etc. Mr. Kelly, l understand
bought few sheep two years ago, invest
ing some 50 70 Sl5. He fed them but
little and they used in the wood, mead
.ow pasture, etc, most Of the time. Dur
ing the two years he sold over S25 worth
of mutton and wool Gone years shearing)
and has now forty three sheep, little and
big, and this springs clip Of wool. So
he has repaid the first investment and
has SO to 500 profit inside Of
two years without risk or expense. The
care and expense of his sheep has been
almost nothing, and he lost several Of his
flock occasionally too. Whether this
business will pay as well on large scale
may be doubted, but it certainly secures
great profit. 1t must be admitted that
sheep bite grass closer and hurt pasture
worse than other stock, and they feed
through the summer nights too when
other stock is resting. Fine wool always
commands Il high price at the Wesson
Mills, in this State. Sheep skins, dressed,
sell high too, and fresh veal and mutton
are always in demand. | have heard
that Col T. Richardson, President of
Wcsson Mills, would loan persons so
much money to 20 into sheep raising and
sell all the wool to the Mills, or so much
a vclr at a fixed price, etc.-Hinds

tic medicine THAI can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilativc organs of the
body, and are So composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or eyade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physie for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any Quantity.
