Mr.. d. MONTGOMERY,

Mr.. e. MONTGOMERY,
1t will be useless for me to at
tempt an excuse for addressing
you in the style this may be writ
ten; for, | have only to refer you
to your own paper of the 9Th inst,
containing the 'Letter from Tex
as, to see that your opinion of q
Texas woman, no matter what her
condition may have been previous
to breathing that contaminated
atmosphere, places her beyond the
pale of esteem; for when a wo-
man becomes 'lazy and trifing,'
who has any regard for her2
Nevertheless, blunt as our per-
ceptiOns must necessarily be, we
can discern when an injustice is
done, and cannot remain quiet and
have our State abused altogether.
We can Imagine, how man
who is looking in Texas for a
modern paradise may be disap-
pointed, in finding a country per-
hapS not great deal better than
the one he left, peopled by mere
human beings.
Do you suppose Texas is the on
ly State upon whose frontier iSo-
lated cases, such as the one pic
tured in your "Texas Letter. may
be found? Still you have not the
charity even to give us the benefit
Of this beng "a highly colored ac-
COUNT" but stamp it as a sample
of Texas and her people; for you

Mr.. c. A. Sullivan of this place,
has invented an air ship, which
he is confident will determine the
success and practicability Of aerial
navigation. He has filed a caveat
in the Patent Office at Washing
ton, to protect his claims from pi-
ratical hands, while he tests the
practical workings of his machine.
Mr.. Sullivan claims, that with the
aid Of machinery, vessel 60 feet
long and IA feet wide, will lift
1,lOO pounds two hundred feet
high, and travel with it at the rate
Of from 40 to Is miles per hour,
under complete control as to direc-
tiOn, and with perfect safety, ex-
cept as against storms. We are
one among those who believe that
navigation through the air, is only
a question of time; and it may be
that in the construction of the
vessel contemplated by Mr.. Sulli-
van, he has possibly aided in the
solving of this difficult problem of
aerial navigation.

wool from one of these CotswoId-
Merinos, or American Cotswolds,
brings a higher price than the
wool from the pure bred Cotswolds,
and the mutton is of finer grain
and of better quality. A one

raised her lamb, No. 481. She
was two years old and coming
three. She weighed alive 1856
pounds. Inside fat, exclusive Of
kidney fat, weighed l6 pounds;
pelt, 20 pounds; carcass, 105 lbs.
| do not want better mutton; it
was juicy, tender and high-davor-
ed. This eve was taken from the
breeding flock, and had received
nothing more than our ordinary
winter feed. 1t would have been
easy to have made her fatter and
heavier. Now, when such sheep
can be obtained from common
Merino ewes, and pure bred
Cotswold ram, why cannot we sup
ply ourselves and the world with
good mutton.

Now that it is no longer mooted
question US to the success of the
cultivated grasses and cloyers in
our Southern cline, we hope to see
rapid progress made in seeding
down the lands of the Gulf States.
With good summer and winter pas
tures-with suf1iciency of mead
ows for hay, the next step is to
improve our live stock. If scrub
stock pays well, how much better
will thoroughbred or grade stock
reward the breeder The best al
ways pays best with good atten-
ton. By the use of thoroughbred
males upon native females, the
character of the herd or flock can
soon trebled in value. If a native
sheep shears three pounds Of wool
half-breed will shear six. In nc
class of live stock is improvement
so perceptible, so desirable, as in
sheep.

Artificial Swarming Of Bees.

j. M. Hicks, of Battle Ground,
Ind, writes as follows:
/ always keep watch of each stock,
and as soon as one is ready with a
reasonable share of drone brood, l
bring new hive, open and t1ke out
six empty frames, leaving two re-
naming; then / open hive, or stock,
that is full of bees, brood and honey,
and take out two full frames from
near the centre, and insert two of
the empty frames in their place leav-
ing a full frame between the empty
frames and close up the hives just as
though nothing had happened.
Then | take the two full frames and
hang them side by side in the empty
new hive; and then ! take two other
full stocks and do likewise, which
gives six full frames in your new
stock, and two empty frames also.

the newly-made swarm in place of

the same, which will greatly

Change in Southern Farming.

The farmers Of the Gulf States
must follow the example of Ken
lucky and pay more attention to
raising fine stock and they must
make their home supplies of meat
and bread. The longer they staye
off this policy the poorer they be-
come. But to carry out this system
of farming successfully we need more
mechanical talent among the farm
ers. Sheds, pens, barns, granaries,
chicken houses, gates, pasture fen
ces, smoke-houses, diaries, cellar, good
well, cistern and numerous convent
ences of the kind are needed, that
the stock, crops and the product Of
farmers tolls may be properly cared
for. How few farms of these States
have such conveniences. Itis use
less to have fine stock, or abundant
mixed crops, unless they are protec-
ted as they should be. A good win
ter's supply Of food should be pro-
vided for every animal and living
thing which the farmer considers of
any value. Every farmer should be
good mechanic. When these Sta
tes are filed up with such farmers,
farming will be profitable, the coun-
try prosperous, towns, and villages
will become thrifty, and manufac-
turing will become one Of the great
industries of the South. We have
the lands and the climate, and the
raw materials for such prosperity,
but our people are not yet ready for
the cnange. They want to wait and
see how the next election and what
the legislature will do. And thus
they have been waiting for fourteen
long years since the surrender Cor

Mr.. EDITOR:
You reprint, from the f"Practi-
cal Farmer" an article On Law
yers, which | think fails to do JUS
tice to that class. The writer says
that the 'lawyer's profession un-
fits him for legislative duties. p
Now is not this something new
under the snnW | know it is a
revelation to many who have al
ways thought that lawyers pro-
fession peculiarly fits him for such
duties. But perhaps they are
wrong, and the Practical Farmer
right; or perhaps both are wrong.
But the writer under review, gives
his reasons. We will look into
them and if they are not good and
sufficient, we will pronounce him
wrong, and then, if necessary, ex-
anime the othes side to see if it is
correct in theory. 9
Our writer says that the law
yers' profession "teaches him to
quibble over unimportant techni-
calities, to presuppose that there
are two sides to every measure,
that he must espOuse one side or
the other without reference to
right or wrong, and that he must
make a speech in advocacy of his
view of the matter, measured only
by the strength Of his lungs and
his capacity for gas. And when
he has succeeded in passing law,
no one can understand it, and no
one but a lawyer has the audacity
and effrOntery to pretend to-
Now that sounds very well and
looks very nice, and withal may
be little witty. But is it true?
Now, | pronounce it the sherest
nonsense-the purest bosh. 1t is
sample of that kind of extreme
ism which hurts the author worse
than his intended victim. And
wish that farmers would learn to
always avoid such extremes. 1t
Injuries their cause much more
than it advances it. But if it
should advance their cause they

are not justified in it, because.it is
ras0rtino TO nnworthv means.

are not justified in it, because.it is
resorting to unworthy means.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I am into this
fight for farmers rights as deep
as almost any man; and l am as
heartily in favor Of sending farm
ers to The legislature and to con
gress, as the Practical Farmer or
as any man can be; but | am not
willing to indulge in this unjust
and unworthy denunciatiOn of a
most worthy and essential class of
men. But | do not think it nee
essary for me at this time to enter
into their defence. And | have
written more with a view of set
ting ourselves right, than in justi-
fication of the legal profession.
l have not now the space, the
time, nor the inclination to fully
set forth our plea and reasons
therefor; but | wish to say that
the crying evil Of the day is cor
rupt and class legislation. The
farmers being the least favored
class, and paying nine-tenths of
the taxes, feel the evil effects
thereof; and having exhausted
their patieISte waiting for the pres
ent parties in power to correct it,
feel that the only remedy is to put
men there of their own way of
thinking and feeling. But they do
not propose to pull any other class
down to build themselves up
They would like to, if they could,
build up the whole country.
To the idea that lawyers are Pc
culiarly fitted for legislators, l
wish now simply to say that in
part only that is true. But, agri-
culture is the pursuit that is Ian
gushing and needs fostering, and
a lawyer cannot, in the nature of
things, know as well how to do
this as the persons who are enga-
ged in this pursuit.
Lawyers may think they know
what is needed, and will readily
promise to do all they can to that
end; and they may be perfectly
sincere in what they say. But
what do they know about farming?
About as much as the average
farmer knows about law. There
fore VIC feel like saying to them,
Gentlemen we thank you, but
please stand aside. There is one
other mistake commonly made,
which causes unnecessary cOnfu-
sion, and that is confounding law
yers with political trickStors, and
thinking that all politicians are
tricksters. Now, l condemn trick
cry as heartily as any man, but |
am not yet willing to believe that
all lawyers are willing to descend
to the low, dirty work Of political
log-rolling and wire-pulling. Yet,
by far too many of those who con
troll the destiny of this Nation are
guilty Of such. But all lawyers,
and let us hope all politicians, do
not belong to that class.

several young Shorthorns at 5000

for S35 each, to Senator Lane of

breeding of Shorthorn cattle with
in the past three OF four years, and
we have no doubt but by proper
care this noble breed of cattle may
in the future be successfully rear
ed in that State. Country Gen

couraging enough to put one to

money IN store for breeders of ac-
climated ShOrthorn cattle. We

Seeing the enquiry from your

Guilty in butter making, and hav-
ing had, the past spring, a similar
experience, allow me to suggest !:
The cream is too old for the seas
on. If she will churn every morn
ing the milking of the previous
day, she will save time.
For instance: The milking Of
Monday evening is skinned and
put in the cream,jar Tuesday eve
ming; the milking of Tuesday
morning is skinned Wednesday
morning and put IN the churn with
that of Monday evening, and
churned as early as possible; if it
can be done by 6 O'clock in the
morning, all the better.
find a thick cloth dipped in
cold water, and wrapped around
the cream-jar, dripping wet; and
the jar placed in draft of air at
night, better than putting it in q
vessel Of cold water; the same by
the churn.
also find a stone churn deci-
dedly preferable to a wooden one
| use a patent dasher made of tin,
which | find gets the butter much
quicker than the old wooden dash
er; but the strokes must be made
slowly about forty or forty-fve
to the minute.
We are usually, from thirty to
forty-fve minutes in getting the
butter, and it is beautifully firm
and yellow. Respectfully,
