"Has any reader OF the AGR1CUL>
TCRIsT tried goats on the high rolls
ing pine land?"
This query from your issue of the
18th inst, awakens many memories.
l do not think oceans will try goats
on the pine or any other lands of
Florida, because we had a sufficient
experience with the same on the
high rolling prairies of Kansas, lang
syne. In place of any trial, we
should be in favor of most summary
execution of the same, should we be
so unfortunate as to see any of them
in the neighborhood.
In Kansas, in its early settlement,
the COWS were lean and bony, and
ranged in the river bottoms, costing
nothing save the trouble of hunting
and milking. | mean, their first cost
was small, the keep was moth
ing. Much was then urged in favor
OF the economy and practicabitity Of
keeping goats. One family invested
in pair. Their keep was trife
where corn was only fifteen cents
bushel, and they throve OH cobs and
stalks. A ten foot high board kept
them in, especially when they were
tied. In due time, Jenny produced
two little kids, and Master Charley,
in the house, was ready for his milk,
900. 1t was thick, rich, and yel-
low, hut Charley did not like 1t.
Papa and Mamma tried it in their
coffee, but,-they did not like it,

flavor was very like that of the con-

Homes are destroyed, hocks and

Goats will eat almost anything,
and the milk is more shealthiul and
palatable than that Of the COW, and
they do not suffer from heat, causing
the milk to become feverish, as COWS
do. They give milk nearly the
whole year, and are not very liable
to disease. Some of them give four
quarts OF milk a day, while some
give not more than pint.

The Sixth Comet.

Intelligence received at the War
ner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y,
from Bristol, England, states that
Prot. w. F. Denning discovered a
bright new comet on the 4th instant.
1t is located in the constellation of
Leo, right ascension 9 hours % min.
utes, declination north 16 degrees,
daily motion 80 minutes east. This
is the sixth comet which has been
seen since May 1st., five being new
discoveries, all but two of which
were first observed by Americans,
and it is certainly high compliment
to the industry and skill of Ameri.
can astronomers that they have
shown so fine a record. The total
amount which Mr.. H. H. Warner
has given in comet prizes during the
past year is 81, 300, which shows that
the interest taken in astromical at
fairs in this country is grettly in
creasing.

densed milk they get nova days.
Moreover, the little kids were hum
cry, and they could not eat even the
corn stalks, much less old papers
and rusty nails. The kids could not
be raised if the family used any milk.
The whole goat family then was
kindly presented to admirlng friends
in the country.
So far, the goat experiment was
merely failure; now for the positive
evils. Many OF the neighbors kept
goats, too, and soon it was found
that their tavorite food was the bark
OF young trees in the newly planted
orchards. In most cases, small boys
were detailed on escort duty, to see
that the goats did no damage; but
the small boys would succumb to
the destinations of marbles, mumble-
the-peg, and other intellectual
games, and away went the goats at
their sown sweet will. Tom Ryan's
goat would come up Washington
Avenue and scale the north fence of
the garden, cross the same, and Cir
die seven young apple trees in full
run, and Max Schleitarths goat
would enter from Fifth street, and
perform the same process in another
direction, before young Tom and
young Max could settle one dispute
over their marbles,
Nothing short of ten foot tence
would check the goats when in tull
career. Matertamilias used to keep
a can OF grating wax on the hot
water reservoir OF the cooking stove
for the purpose of repairing damages
and Charley and Nellie found theil
lives a burden by being compelled L
| spend all their leisure time on tn
watch for goats. They nlafIy, thest
goats and others, tor they were tried
pretty generally did so much dam
age that the city council declared
them nuisance, and their owners
were fined so heavily that they con-
cluded it did not pay, and the goats
disappeared.
One enterprising D. D., which
meaneth Dispenser OF Drugs, made
a practice Of shooting them ON sight,
which discouraged several of them.
Our Secretary OF Agriculture, after
looking into the subject pretty thor~
oughly, decided that the only trees
that would be really safe from their
ravages would be the great Deodars
OF the Yosemite, with bark several
feet thick. One individual might die
OF old age before he could girdle one
tree.
Don't let us have any goats, unless
each goat has competent guardian.
Talk of SCALE insects!-a goat will
scale anything short OF ten loot
fence, and butt down board one,
and, 1 doubt not, would eat up all the
wire fences in Florida.

We notice that large numbers of
sheep are being, brought into the
State in different localities. There IS
no safer investment, and if good
breeds are kept they will prove very
profitable, both i'll wool and mutton.
Previous to the war some of our
planters kept quite extensive tlocks.
They are easily kept, need but little
shelter in winter, and are more pro-
life than in northern ATTITUDES; and
aside from the direct profit, no aLi>
NAL adds so much to the soil in the
way of manure. There is one draws
back which is, however, universal in
the United States--the dog nuisance.
This can be remedied by powder and
shot, if there is no civil law to abate
it. Also, in the isolated and unsetA
tied portions of the State, it would
be risky to keep sheep on account of
wild animals, unless shepherd was
constantly with the focks. -PaIatta

some instances directed by agencies that will
not bear the light of inspection. The only
party, and reflected the genuine Republican
sentiment of the State and country, was
that which failed to make nomination, but
utterly repudiated the Re-adjuster ticket
and the Re-adjuster repudiating programme.
But for the influence of the Internal Rev
enue offices and the deputies and attaches of
the Marshal's office, there could not have
been gotten one-third of the delegates who

with the well arranged plans and workings
of these departments, supplemented by en-
enlargement from Washington, and letters
from persons living outside OF the State
who know nothing about the relations OF
parties in the State Almost the entire rep
resentatiOn of the coalition interests was
worked up. and in some instances, We are
informed, the delegates appointed would
not dare to state to their constituents that
their purpose was to cooperate with the
Re-adiusters. Had they done so they would
not have been elected. The Republican
sentiment of the State was represented by
those opposed to coalition. Had a fair con-
test in the primaries been had, without the
interference of Federal office holders, there
would scarcely have been decent showing
of coalitonists, and the Convention would
have been controlled in the interest of the
party and full ticket placed in the field,
with reasonable prospect of election.
These newspaper correspondents design
eddy misrepresented the facts Of the case,
and did it for the purpose of influencing
Republican sentiment North in favor of
movement, which will cause them more
trouble than it has caused the Republicans
of Virginia. They will find, in the first
place, that their Misrepresentation will not
give the Re-adjusters the strength they
falsely state they have; aud in the next
place they will find, that the whole plot will
disastrously fail here, and the Republicans OF
the North will be held responsible for dis
rupting the Republican party of Virginia
in order to give vitality to a sentiment of
reputation, in direct conflict with the car
dinal policy of the Republican party of the
country. These things they will have to
meet the best they can, while the Republi-
cans of Virginia will be amply indicated
in the results of the November election.
