In confirmation OF something which we
said recently regarding the TACT that native
farmers generally know the best general
course Of culture in a country. may be cited
a short extract from a letter written ty an
Englishman who has made more than the
average progress In the Rugby settlement In
Tennessee. He says :-''Now by way OF
suggestion l would say, do not be too hasty
to condemn native farmers wholesale. or
course there are q great many OF them who
are bad and improvident farmers ; but, II
you will take the trouble to 60 round the
country and consult the best OF them, you
will get q great many useful hints from
them. Do cot go ~siashing ahead and think
that by cutting down your trees and pulling
up the stumps with patent machines you can
convert your land Into meadows such 40 we
are used to In England. You will certainly
find, II you do, that the natives ore right,
and that It will not do !; and that you must
adopt, If not all. at all events many. OF the
ways Of cuItivatinK this mountain land
which they have proved by experience to
answer the best and that, although a large
cornfeld studded with deadened trees may
not Dc . pleasing sight to the eye, 1t Will be
far more profitable than one from which you
have cleared all the trees and stumps." This
advice modified to suit different sections OF
the country should be we'll dIgested by those
hypercritical persons who came there to bet
ter their condition, and seem to think the
chief way to do 1t Is to belittle everything
around them. After the manner Of a man
who wrote himself Town as "a FOOL" such
people will generally find that they have
sent themselves on q 'fool's Grand" They
remind US OF q down east grocer who was
selling us some butter on a certain OCCASION,
and expatlated quite lengthily on the fact
th.t the farmers In this country did not
know how to handle butter, at the same
time that he was breaking OF little pieces
with his black finger and thumb to make
weight.

PUSHING ON SOUTH.
From the Milan Mo-, Free Press. ]

ASoo'J
The B. & S. w. Co., in building
the road south from Lsclede had to
cross the H Il St. Jo., and the latter
company objected to the crossing, but
the b. & S. w. went along with the
grading and got everything in readi-
ness to lay the track, and last Sun
day they commenced to put in the
crossing. The H. & St. 10. was
watching the movements, and had
men on the ground to prevent the
crossing from being made, but it was
no go-the B. & S. W. was too many
for them, and after a few slight skir-
mishes among the workmen the track
was laid aud one car run across
which, it seems, secured the crossing
permanently, as the B. & S. w. has
the right to the crossing after they
have q track Oh the other side. Supt.
Smith, Attorney fairfield, Chief En-
gineer Sumner and other prominent
mel of the B. & S. w. were Oh tho
grounds to watch the proceedings.
For pluck and enterprise we can
recommend the b. g.. S. w. men as
par excellence.
