Stock Poor.

Many farmer is kept poor by
keeping too much stock. He would
e prosperous if the stock was of the
right kind. 1t does not pay to keep
cows through the winter that are dry
pretty much all the time. 1t does
not pay to keep over a lot of lean and
fractions steers in the expectation
that they will make good working

such animals should be sold to those
who have mere food in store than
their present poor owners. "A miser.

sheep constitutes no more desirable
property, either. Their fleeces are
not worth waiting for. and their nut.

They are of no use to farmer but to
help keep him poor.
Good stock, superior stock, pays
for itself all the time. A herd Of

times more than the cost of their

business man ever expects to make

stock that is not of the very sort to

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

tuts italian for celored labor in its
cotton and cane fields. The first in

tive hundred and ten in number,
reached New Orleans a few days be-
fore Christmas. and it is reported that
other laborers of the same class are
expected in large numbers during
the winter and spring. Heretofore
the drift Of italian emigration has
been towards South America, and
principally to the Argentine Repub-
lie, of which Buenos Ayres is the
capital, and the province Of that
name the richest province. The eli
mate there apDroxImates so closely to
that of Southern Italy that it agrees
we'll with the emigrants from the
latter kingdem. Whether they will
find that of louisiana equally we'll
suited to them, or the labor in the
cotton and cane fields congenial to
their habits and constitutions, must
necessarily be at present matter Of
doubt. The attempt to introduce
Chinese labor into Louisiana failed
signally. The present attempt TO
substitute Italian for negro labor may
fare better. 1t is, at all events, an
interesting experiment, for all &C.
counts agree that as laborer the
Italian is honest, frugal, temperate
and industrious.
