The well begun movement to
stock this county with pure bred
animals j. proving Il success, aud
demonstrates that Montgomery
county is abreast with the progress
i've spirit that characterizes the
whole Southern country. In addi-
ton to the number OF herds of fine
animals lately established, Messrs
w. III. Hall and w. b. Dale, repu-
table stock breeders of ShelbyviIlc,
KY, have been induced 10 bring 10

This stock consists of young cows,
heifers and fine bulls. All will be
numbered and catalogued, SO that
purchasers can make their selections
and note the animals wanted before
the sale commences. This is rare
opportunity for our enterprising
farmers to supply themselves cheap
ly with the best strains of fine blood
for foundation breeding the best
that has ever been offered. We say
cheaply, because our people have
the privilege of fixing the prices,
and they are not likely to sell high
er than they do privately on the
breeding farms or at public sale in
the blue grass section, and here
they are, brought to our very doors,
where they can be seen free of cost,
and had free of transportation,
which generally adds SO much 10
the cost OF such stock. Moreover,
experience teaches that such stock
are cheap at any price that begin
ners can pay, for there is no invest
ment so sure to pay large profit.
The increse is rapid, with values
constantly increasing, and we can
safely count on this number of fine
cattle properly distributed over the
county. increasing the income from
the cattle source, over 200 per cent.
in the next two years. This is not
all :; our agricultural system will be
completely revolutionized, our
farmers inspired with new energy
and taught new methods in mixed
farming, stock growing. grass rails
ing &C., with always something on
hand to bring money, while the
lands will be improved and increas-
ed 100 per cent. in value, agriculture
dignified Supplied intelligence
awakened, altogether bringing I'M
dreamed-of blessings to our people.
1t has been demonstrated by practi-
cable operations that our lands win
grow clover, orchard grass, red top
&c. to perfection, and these are the
best known grasses in the world for
the rearing of stock cheap!y and
improving the soil rapidly. Then
with our cheap lands and fine
blOodcd stock, why can we not
compete with the world in stock
breeding? Instead of all tobacco
and wheat, with very poor turnouts
and no money to balance accounts
at the end of the year, the man who
hereafter plants half his usual num-
Der of acres in tobacco. making dou-
bic the pounds in weight, with
superior quality, with ten or twenty
large fat cattle, few sheep, hogs,
&C., to sell, will feel happy at the
emu OF the year, ana OutStrlp MS
stupid neighbor, who cannot be
aroused to a thoughtful considera-
ton of the subject nor inspired with
the energy of development.
Let our farmers attend the sale
and show..a true appreciation of this
opportunity to stock their farms
with more choice blood, for these
are the cattle for the generality of
farmers. E

The cattle will be here for ;nspec-
ton from Monday Goth till day of
