Sheep Raising on Cotton Planta-

Barney Lillard, in Caltirator.

Barney Liuard, in C1ltirGtor.
II seems to me there is plan of
farming, practicable in the South,
that would solve the labor question.
enrich the lands, enrich the farmers,
and make things look little brighter
than all cotton, no money, no Club,
no clothes, and big debts. Suppose
a planter having 400 acres of which
he has always cultivated in cotton,
should divide his farm into four fields,
one of which he should sow to grass
Bermuda, Japan clover, white clover,
orchard grass, blue grass, red clover
or any kind of grass that sheep,
cow or horse would eat; then one
field in peas and one in
corn, and one in cotton. Then
get 400 head of sheep-any kind will
do-graze the sheep on the grass,
till peas are ripe, then put the sheep
on the peas to eat them down, then
feed the shee? during winter with
the cotton seed grown on the place !;
this will make it rich enough to grow
a crop OF cotton without manure;
keep up this rotation and soon all the
farm will be rich and the profits of
the sheep will pay family expences,
or the sheep may be sold as fat sheep
after January, and will pay 100 per
cent. on the investment. Sheep rails
ing on cotton plantations i'll ten years
would enrich every acre OF land and
every farmer in the South. There
are no people in the world that work
so hard, have so little of the comforts
of lite, as he who plants all cotton to
buy his meat and bread.
Mr.. Oliphant is right. All troubles
comes from want of ''brains," or, at
least, a proper use of what we have.
This whole trouble can be solved in
a few words plant less cotton, more
corn, wheat, oats, peas, and grass.
The fact is, no people on earth thrive
or ever will without grass TO Craze
stock on. The cotton States can
handle 100000 sheep, and they
will make ten times as much manure
as is now purchased. Brother farm
ers, don't you think that nice NUT.

Cotton Seed.
From the TimeS-Democrat.

From the ItmeS-Den1ocrGt.
The question of the best use to
which cotton seed can be put does
not much worry the negroes of the
South, who as tenants too often
have control OF half the seed made
on the plantations. They sell them
for what they will bring-trom three
to nine dollars per ton. The owner
of the land too often follows
the example of the ignorant negro,
and sells the life OF the land. This
question should appeal to the cons
mon sense OF every planter. The
thousands Of turned>out old fields,
and clay hills denuded of soil which
mar the beauty of the South, are SO
many monuments of the folly Of the
ruinous system by which the soil has
been robbed otis strength, until it is
no longer able to give return tor
labor bestowed.
If we listen to the siren voice Of
the cotton-seed oil mill man he will
prove that it will pay best 20 sell
him the cotton seed at his own
price, and buy back cotton-seed
meal also at his own price Tor tertil-
izer. He can make it ali appear very
clear He will tell you that 1.-THE
meal ought to be returned to the
soil, but there is very little plant
food in the seed hull and none in
the oil; therefore, as grinding the
meal puts it in better form Tor
assimilation as splant food, you
should sell the seed and buy back
the mear' lat four times the price,.
This sounds very nicely, but tortu-
nately tor the cotton planter, there
are still living few old planters OF
The olden time, who iertilIzed their
crops with cotton seed before cotton
seed OIL or meal was ever made.
They found it the best fertilizer they
ever used, and although they are not
prepared to dispute the assertion OF
the mill men, that "that the oil in
the seed does no good TO the land, "
they are satisfied that it does no
harm, and they propose TO continue
to tertilize their lands with raw cot~
ton seed until they are offered lair
equivalent IN cotton seed meal. All

subscribe TO the catechism of the tes-
tive oil man.
While attending the Cotton Expo
sition at Atlanta we saw number
of plantation cotton seed hullers and
mills, which we think will aid our
planters in future in deciding what
to do with the cotton seed. These
hullers and mills vary in price from
$l25 to $l75; are run by two horses
or by steam power, and hull from
twenty TO twenty-five bushels of cot
ton seed per hour. The same mill,
by a change of cutters, grinds in the
most approved style all kinds OF
grain, coarse or fine, as desired, max
ing fine family meal, graham flour,
cracked wheat, grits or hominy, and
can be adjusted to grind corn and
cob together into tool for stock that
is healthtul ana nutritious for all
farm animals.
We believe that these machines
will solve the question OF he best
disposition OF cotton seed. Let the
planter decorticate his seed on the
plantation, increase his stock of cat
tie and sheep and feed them on this
rich and palatable food, and be will
at once secure that diversity on the
plantation which will insure lnde>

the cotton planter will depart from

and scar which have resulted from it.
Thus Lhe cotton planter will become

plenty will crown bus board. All

The Police Arrested Him and the Recorder
Fined Him for Being Drunk.

Day before Yesterday Louis Barthncr, Il car
pentcr, was arrested by policemen Dan Killed
and ). Rips on the charge of being drunk. Re
garding the arrest friend of Barthncrs has
made the subjoined statement:
"Barthner is deaf and speaks very loud in eX-
pressing his sentiments, and makes a good
many gCSticulatlOnS on account of his deaf
ness. He was SO doing when the officers con-
ceiVcd the erroneous idea that ne was drunk
and, approaching him, informed him that he
must consider himself their prisoner. He said
he would go with them quietly but, nOtwith-
standing his submission, they handcufed him.
He was nCarcerated al the city Jail, an institu-
ton where no man, white, black or Indian,
ought to be put by civilized beings, and which
it would be advisable for the city council tOcX
anime. The man offered to deposit 5000 as Sc
curity for his appearance but his offer was re-
jccted The place was so filthy that his clothes
new ones for which he paid S4O-wcre ruined.
After staying in the Jail all night Gardner was
convicted on the testimony of the police and
fined 81 by the recorder
Policeman Rips informed a reporter that
liarthncr was not arrested for being drunk but
for being disOrderly. He disconnected pedes

and Alamo streets, and gesticuating as he
showed how he would have struck q man of
whom he and some friends were speaking.
Finally his arm struck IA lady who was passing
but he continued, with arm OutStretchCd,
standing on the corner and talking loudly.
Rips requested him to move out of the way
He replied in an insulting manner and raised d
cane as if to strike. Then he was arrested. He
was told ne could give bond hut he refused so
