English Views OF American
Farming.

Mr.. Mechi, the eminent English
farmer. lately read a paper at the
Central Farmers Club, London, in
which the following passage occurs {:
81 have had very extensive COM
munication personally and by letter
with American agriculturallsts, and
have had also many volumes sent to
me year by year of the transactions
OF the New York State agricultural
Society, and the impression on my
mind is that there is a great deal of
intelligence, enterprise and progress
in American agriculture. AS the
farmers nearly all occupy their own
land, their mental energy and fnan-
cial means are quite unshackled,
and they are free to enlarge or i'm"
prove. The mere knowledge that
their improvements arc their own
property, and will be inherited by
their widows and children, acts as
an extraordinary stimulus to their
cxer,ions and progress. The fact
that no game-kecpcr or stranger
dare put foot on their land, and
that the game is their own, adds
heavily ir the scale of advantageous
considerations and Independent feel
ings. Imagine the feelings Ola man
vino car say at any day or hour, /
will sell my farm and buy another,
or add to my farm. or do in any
other way what | like with my own.
and compare them wi,h those of a
British farmer. who, like that model
of good farmer, the late Mr.,
Hope, Of fentun Barns, was rousted
from the place of his birth by a
mere after.dinncr speech expressing
sentiments opposed to those of his
landlord"

The Pines.

The pine forests that cover the
eastern and middle sections Of the
Carolinas are source of great
wealth to our people. Millions Of
dollars are annually received for
timber, lumber. tar, pitch and tur-
pentine. Besides the enormous con-
sumption of pine timber in the mans
ufacture Of these articles, there is
great destruction occasionally by
fire in sections where the trees have
been boxed. If the present con"
sumption continues we know that
the great forests will disappear and
be supplanted by a less valuable
growth.
In regions where the pines have
been destroyed from any cause, it is
noticeable that there is but little re"
newal of growth. This is owing to
the fact that hogs are allowed to run
at large, and, besides eating the
mast, they destroy thousands Of
young pines.
Where fields are allowed to re-
main fallow for a number of years.
the pines spring up with astonishing
rapidity. Trees of rapid growth are
most valuable for turpentine.
If our fence laws were abolished,
or modified so as to prevent hogs
from running at large, pine forests
would soon cover the waste places.
In States to the north Of us, the
snake fence disappeared many years
ago. and the less expensive cattle
fence is only used. We may re-
mark in this connection that a sue
cessful farmer in South Carolina,
who raises a great many hogs, keeps
them in q small enclosure, and as
sures US that, having tried the cx'
pertinent for several years, he IS ii
favor of abolishing the fence law.
We must save the pines. Where
it is necessary to destroy them We
should endeavor to replan:, for ii
the coming years they will be of ex
cecding value.

Swine in The South.

The New Orleans Price Current
says: Hog raising in the South has,
during the past year. increa ,e'l to
an extent which will shortly enable
Il large majority of Southern farmers
to become independent of the West
ern packer. AS law and order have
once more become the rule through
out ;he South. the security Of farm
stock from thieving laborcrs has
much increased, and we do not now
continually hear the formerly so fre'
quent complaint that it was no use
t. raise hogs, as none were allowed
to come to maturity. In great
many instances, now, the laborers
take an interest i'll the raising OF
hops, sheep and poultry. as they be-
gin to appreciate that their own n.
tons are greatly improved by q
variety Of home raised fcod.

Texas,

Talk about emigration to Texas,
the Nashville Banner says the great
bulk of the people who leave that
section come back again with all
spent except for the payment
Of railroad ticket. Speaking to
the same point, the Chattanooga Dis
patch says that during the month Of
December last it was estimated at
Little Rock that four hundred immi.
grants from Texas passed through
that city daily, ard they came back
in Il most destitute condition, some
by rail, some in wagons and on foot,
carrying what little household goods
they have along. Most of them
looked as if they had gone through
hardships, hunger and cold. They
generally told the same story, and
advised their friends who talk of 20
ing to Texas to stay where they are.
They say that they found Texas the
best place in the world for hard
work, and no place for poor people.

A SONS REMEMBRANCE.

Ny father, can see thee now,
As in my youthful days.
When hope across my pathway threw
Her bright alluring rays;
see thee now, in memory ginss,
Just as thou lookest then,
Though falling tears are on my cheek
And stay my faltering pen;
/ see thee with..thine eyes of love
Fixed smilingty on me.
While brother with childish laugh
Is climbing on thy knee.
That brother, dearest father, has
Bright manhood on his brow,
And only now In memory
Can we gaze on thee now;
Yet often, when fair fortunes wheel
p Has turned us good or i'll,
We feel Thy spirit walks tho waves,
And bids the storm be still:
Aud tho thy friends may strew thy grave
With summer flowers fair,
We two. who loved thee more than all,
Know well thou art not there.
I still with that dear brother live,
Within our old abode,
And we both feel that thy pure love
Is keeping watch with God:
And when ut night we kneel TO pray
At heavens holy shrine,
Oft times eur Makers sacred name
Is half confused with thine;
And though thy early loss TO us
We ever shall deplore,
Va faol ;nIaal thou art moi lost
But only gone before.
