SHEEP.
j.. d.. {.

We propose to give the readers
of the FARMER AND MECHANIC, IN
broken doses, what we know, and
have gathered upon this subject.
Many of our people r very fluent
upon sheep husbandry, but none of
them write about, and but few of
them put in practice, their really
good theories upon the subject.
Stock raising is the highest grade
in agriculture. Sheep the world
over are considered the really true
agricultural thermometer of a coun-
try.
Compare North Carolina with
the balance of the States and
there is but one State in the Union
in which a sheep is rated lower,
North Carolina 81. so, and Califor-
MIA, $40. In some of the States
they are put three, four, and near
ly five dollars per head. This shows
how utterly Indifferent our people
have been to this great leading pro-
duct in the improvement of agri-
culture. People will not believe
what is said Of our genial climate,
and grass lands as long as oursheep
are so near zero.
immigration orators can round
their periods much more effectively
when these are made to tally. The
first work is 70 root out some old
Anticipated ideas and absurdities,
such as sheep making their own
living, cor killing them, and shell
ter making them unhealthy, and the
like.
Dogs have been a powerful weap-
on and bug-bear in the hands of
those who were naturally disposed
to follow the beaten track, and did
not care to be disturbed by innova-
tions like sheep. A member of the
sheep husbandry committee of the
last legislature, did us the honor to
write for our views upon the dog
question. In reply we wrote M
thing of this kind. GIVE US good
laws, and good judges to execute
them, and a whipping post for the
rogues, and the country would not
suffer much for the lack Of a dog
law Fat dogs Kill no sheep. The
great mass of ours and the crosses
are poor, and nine times out of ten
where they take to killing sheep
they have been trained and set on
by the rogues behind. The best
trained animal we ever saw was a
cur belonging to a neighbor of ours.
We had turned a few scareawav
lambs into a lot to themselves. In
u absence the dog came repeated
ly, chased and caught them, with
out doing the least injury. We
went to our neighbor and told him,
but he declared his dog never left
home, we told him we would "shoot
him (the dog on the spot" in the
yard, or he could come and bring
the dog ana see whether he would
run the sheep. Before getting in

TEA CULTURE.

Liz pam ~ AcoAA,o IN
Department of Agriculture by Com
missioner lie Due, IS at least Of
sufficient interest to ave 1T from
the fate of being withered with Il
sheer. We give all credit to the
sagacity and experience OF those
who would guard an enthusiastic
and credulous public against imlo-
sitions made SO often with such
provoking success. 1t is right that
the people should be warned against
the surprising merit OF every nov
city pressed upon its notice. Moth
ing sweeps SO like a wild fire as Il
mania for some new agricultural
nostrum and there is nothing so
disheartening as the reaction sure
to follow disappointment. Some
new introductions are certain of
failure, because Of want Of adoption
to our soil or climate: but surely
among the large additions made to
both garden and field crops, some
thing has been found, the offspring
of foreign soil, which has taken
kindly to its new home, and given
hearty recompense for the welcome
it has received.
The New York Herald, confident
of its potent influence, and perhaps
governed by one of those personal
influences Of hate SO likely to exist
between an officer Of the govern
ment and a dogmatic public jour
nal condemns the project of Mr..
LIE Due as the scheme of an impor-
tor, or the whim of an ignorant
dupe. We know nothing of Mr..
LIE Due, and have no idea Of en-
listing in his defence. This we
will say, that Mr.. LIE Due is right
in asserting hat the tea plant or
tree will thrive and does thrive in
a large portion of the United
States. We will not discuss that
question, patent to the experience
of many thousands in the Southern
States. Why then should it not
become the subject of more extend
ed culture? The Herald decides
the question by saying that the
wrong Of bringing Americon labor
in competition with the low wages
IF the Chinese was too great to be
tolerated. We had thought that
that was the happy condition to
which the bond holders, whose or
gan the Herald is, were trying to
reduce the American laborer. But
why the suggestion of low wages in
connection with tea at all? Because
it is deemed indispensable to pre-
pare the leaf in a particular way to
suit the foreign market, and that
infinitely multiplied and minute
labor a only be done by the lowest
of wages. All of which we grant.
But is it necessary to adopt the
Chinese mode of preparation? We
think not, for purposes of home con-
sumption. The Chinese themselves
use the tea with the simplest of
manipulation; drying it, but neither
rolling or coloring the leaf.
The whole question hinges upon
that of fashion, a fashion in the
preparation of the articles of food
as capricious and unnatural as that
which governs the rules of costume.
We see that caprice in the prepare
ton of wheat flour, which is made
to emulate the driven snow in
Whlteness at the expense Of much
OF It's nutrition; we see it, here in
North Carolina, in dried fruit: that
new article Of an extensive trade.

PLANT BEDS.

Our skies are murhN, ana Inc
great volumes of smoke ascending

bed burnincs around. tells the tale
OF destruction that is going on III
the forests OF the tobacco section OF
the State. There may be reason
and necessity for Staying the forests
to make bright tobacco. But there
is. we believe, absolutely 10 excuse
for its wanton destruction for the
purpose of plant-bed burning.
Upon many Of Il farms timber i
growing to be already quite an
object.
1t is the worst kind Of old fogy-
ism to suppose that a tobacco plant
can only be grown upon some
branch away in the woods with Il
southern exposure. The conforma-
ton of the seed is not at all differ
cnt from that of lettuce and cabbage
and celery. MANY Of our house
wives grow these IN hot-beds and
well prepared plats in the garden.
And why so many of our progressive
and inventive farmers are still con
tent to follow the old system has
long been to us il matter Of
establishment. Think Of it. The
labor, the hard labor, there is
IN it. To 90 out and cut and
maui some hard seasoned tree
then select some out-of-the-wav spot
for the bed and grub it and clean
it Off-then hitch the team. shout
der the wood and haul it, and
shoulder it, and place it upon the
bed, then set fire and pull the
chunks and great logs about until
they are burned out-scrape off
the ashes, hoe and rake. and rake
and hoe, haul, manure, SOW and
trample and brush and ditch, and
this work is then considered finish
ed until the flies come.
Go into the cities in early spring
and the truck men are supplying
their customers with thousands and
thousands of cabbage plants from
their hot-beds. Why cant our
farmers initiate this example In
'76 the tobacco crop was almost a
total failure for lack Of plants that
had been destroyed by the fly. In
hot beds this could be easily
And then the advantage of being
able to plant before the spring rains
have been evaporated from the soil,
is almost incalculable in raising
bright tobacco.
We are inclined to doubt wheth-
er in the construction of a rude hot
bed, simply getting a glass frame
and placing it owe the bed, the
cost would not be less the first sea
son than to raise the same quantity
Of plants in the usual way. The
advantage of being mean at hand,
thOrOuOh1y maoure1 and pro-
tected, would be immense. The
increased quantity of plants to the
square yard would be equally great.
Now is the time and We call upon
some Of the leading coal curers to
make, if not what We suggest, SOME
other new departure" The i'm
portance of this subject our farmers
have yet properly estimated.
