MAKING BUTTER IN BRAzu.-The greater
mart of the butter used in the cities Of Brazil is
said to be imported from France, Germany
and Ircland-prineipally frolu the last named
market--notwithstandi thousands Of COWS
craze on the vast pampas of South America
The native butter of Brazil is of an inferior
quality, as the methods of dairying there are
of the most primitive and unsatisfactory char
acter. The 1meriroR Dairyman states that
there are four native ways of making butter in
the empire of Brazil The first consists of put
ting the milk in Il common bowl and beating
it with spoon as you would an egg; the sec
ond of pouring the milk into bottle and shak'
ing it till the butter appears, and then remov'
ing it by breaking off the top of the bottle; the
third, where the dairy is more extensive ol
filling hide with milk, which is Justify shak'
en- by an athletic native at each end until the
butter is produced; and the fourth, lndlcai!ns
vast progress beyond any of the preceding
methods, consists in dragging hide or leath
crn vessel, filled with milk, on the ground after
galloping horse until it is supposed that thG
butter is formed. The milk is never strained
and the butter never washed.

Care of Young Dairy stock.

We regard it necessary often to call the at
tentiOn of dalrymen to the necessity or CIV
ing the best attention and food to the heilel
calves designed for dairy cows. This is just
the season that these calves need the best care
As it is important that the heiter should be de
veloped in muscle and frame, rather than in
fat not much corn or other highly tattening
food should be given. Feed rather upon oats
and bran, or middlngs with little corn, be
sides early.cut hay. Calves should have shell
ter from all cold storms in fact, they require
for the best treatment a comfortable stable. 1t
is not only the heiter calf that needs good at
tention, but the yearling hciter. She is now
fast developing into a cow and needs the best
food and care She does not need much grain
if the farmer has early-cut hay, and especially
nicelycured clover, this, with ii little bran OF
corn fed sparingly, will keep up a steady
growth The yearling heifer should be han
died by the herdsman daily so as to become
familiar with attention, and she will give nc
trouble in breaking to milk after coming in.-

An important item for consideration, with
those who keep poultry, is the proper saving
of the manure of the fowl house which accu
mulateS during the winter months while the
stock is for the greater portion of the time con
fined to close quarters a thorough mixture
OF the droppings from roosts and the sweeping,
of the floors with two parts Of sand and clean
loan makes an admirable compost for top
dressing the lawn or for use in the vegetable
patch or flower garden. 1t is more valuable
than the same quantity of the best guano, anC
will be found most excellent in corn hills ol
potato drills. To save it jndiciously during
the cold months, a shallow trough placed be
meath the roOsts will be convenient; this may
be drawn aside and the contents mixed, from
week to week. with loan in the compost heap
1t should not be applied as dressing in its raw
condition. however, as it is quite too strong in
this shape, and will burn the seed if it comes
in direct contact with it. But rightly prepar
ed no manure is better adapted to garden uses

The West Virginia Sauger.

4 correspondent ola New York paper, writ.
inc from Lynchburg, Va, describes the "Saug-
crs," their habits, and their country. They are
Il curious race of mOuntaineers who inhablt
several wild couatics of West Virginia. Their
origin is unknown. The pure Saugcr is be
ing by himself. The Digger Indian is the
nearest parallel to him, but the SAUCER is better
physically, and has more intelligence than the
Digger. The colonies of the Saugers were re-
CruitCd by CyScrers from both armies during
the war, and the influence of these foreigners
among them has probably elevated the moral
and social condition of the race. Lawful mar.
riage is unknown among them, and they have
no use for lawyers, doctors, or preachers, or
schooltcacherS. They live in the woods, and
among the rocky Businesses, far away from
highways and civilized settlements. Their
abodes are logcabns, with mud Chimncys, and
sometimes caves and holes in the ground, They
live on game, and include in the list which
furnishes their bill ottare, raccoons, opoSsums,
grOund-hogs, squirrels snakes, owls, crows,
pOlecats, and other animals that come
to their traps. The women drink tea Of sassa-
tras and the roots Of the golden rod In the
spring they find Il dellcacy in brook trout,
which people the mountain streams and pools
They despisc frogs, which are about the only
living things the Saugcr does not eat, while
fried grasshoppers are rare luxury. The
Saugers have a commerce, too, They dig the
ginseng root which is plentiful in the noun
tans, steal into the nearest settlement by night
and sell it by appointment with their grocer,
and steal out again with corn meal and bacon,
of which they have learned the value, when
their small grain is scarce. The ginseng is
shipped to China, where it commands a high
price So they contribute to the commerce OF
the outside world, after ALL and are not alto

THE REPUBLICAN, JUDICIAL CON
YENTTON

The Republican Convention to nomi-
nate Circuit Judge and Attorney Gen.
eral for the Second Circuit met at New
Market last Friday. From the Chronicle
of Saturday morning we learn that the
third ballot resulted as follows:
For Meek-JeffersOn, IA; Cooke, 8;
Sewer, 8; Granger, 8; Claiborne, 81
Union, 10-48b
For Murphey-Jefferson, 2; Cooke, q;
Sewer, q; Granger, 3; Claiborne, So;
Hamblen, 1886.
For Swan efferson, 2.
Meek having received a majority of
all the votes cast, was declared the
choice of the convention.
Hon. A. s. Tate was nominated for
Attorney General on the first ballot.
Col. Meek, the nominee of the Con-
vention, is a gentleman of affable man
ners, and has sustained good position
in his profession. He is a gentleman for
whom we have the highest personal re-
spect. While dropping tear, as it were,
DER the bier of our neighbor, Maj. Muir
phey, who was buried there, we can
withdraw the kerchief that walls our
sorrow, and say that we are just as glad
of Meeks' nomination as Maj. Murphey,
or any of his friends. And if they can
stand up and congratulate him, we're
not going to be an outsider in the jubilee.
Allen S. Tate no one supposed would
be defeated in the Convention. He is a
decided Republican, but an honest,
clever gentleman, fit for the office

KING FoR CONGRESS.


We are permitted to make the
following extract from aprivate let:
ter of prominent Sullivan county
Democrat, written to a citizen of
Hamblen. speaking of the relative
merits of Congressional aspirants,
he says:
"Our mutual friend, King has the.
ability, courage and skill to make a
first-class campaign. / have warm
attachment for him. No
one would carry the Democratic
banner in the coming campaign with
more gallantry and zeal than King"
We are not advocating the claims
of any one of thesDemocratic aspir-
ants. above those of any other, but
it is not iuvidious for us to say that
Col. King would do all that his
friend in Sullivan says he will.

TIE EASTERN WAR.

The strain on the public mind in
regard to the Turco Russian affairs
seems to be gradually relaxing. The
predictions of most of the prophets.
and their welI-built theories, are CIV
ing away before some hidden or not
we'll understood force, as the sand
bank falls before the circling waves.
Delays and diplomacy will conquer
passion aud brute force. and perhaps
satisfy ambition and thirst for pow
er and territory. The Sick Man of
the East is still alive. but pecuniary
trouble has overtaken him, and weak
in body and wasted in estate, the
old man has en- forced into bank
ruptcy, and creditors actual and pre-
tended, and attorneys and officers
are watching the assets and QUARREL
ing over the various positions to be
allotted to these hungry friends and
greedy foes. We believe it will all
be arranged. The sick man and his
miserable family will have exempted
and set apart for them a small home
stead, some old furniture and a stock
Of provisions, and there may be
guaranteed q small annuity. but he
will have to give up his business and
deed away nearly all his real estate.
The truth is this has been bad year
for carpet-baggefs and political mis-
sionaries of whom the Turk was
chief. They all seem to be going
back, or are being sent back to their
original homes.

nothing. They are dumb before the

Enough, however, of politics. The
wheat crop will not prove such
failure asoHr ereakers tried to make
the world believe. The yield will
be enormous, owing to increased
area, more than to the excellence Of
the crop. Within the next two
weeks we will have several public
sales of fine stock-hOrses, cattle,
sheep and hogs-here, in and ada
cent to Nashville. East Tennessee

stock will sell reasonably low. and
