fat>forming food instead, the muscles
must waste and the stomach clog.
Keep an animal in constant state
of idleness, and the muscle>forming
power becomes weak, and the off,
spring Of such an animal will be like
wise weak, and grow up with dimin-
ished muscles. Continue that pro-
cess, and race of animals will be
formed having greatly diminished
muscles, and weakened powers to pro.
duce muscle.
Take the Channel Island cattle for
illustration. Tethered upon those lit.
tie farms and led about by children,
they have lost their muscle and power
to make it. We see it further illus
trated by the milk of the same ami
mails; they retain the power to store
up fat, for that they need, or may need,
but they lose in the flesh. The milk
is rich in fat, but poor in flesh, and as
a race of cattle they are not improved
but greatly deteriorated. The calves
of these animals, though we'll fed, will
not make flesh, but will store up fat.
The milk is not rich milk, and calves
do not thrive we'll on it, nor do | think
our own bodies can until portion Of
the fat is removed, so as to render the
relation of the fat to the flesh in the
milk the same as is that from a perfect

population of the whole country will be
doubled; that of the now less settled
portions (say the Southern States) will
be increased three, four or five fold.
Now let the farmer in this section con-
slider whether he would prefer the in~
crease of the population to be mostly
farmers or mostly people who buy and
do not produce farm products. 1t will
not take him long to make up his
mind, and his judgment will be worth
as much as that of all the political
economists of Europe and America.
His judgment will agree with the ma
ture and deliberate opinion of all the
great American statesmen. The more
he thinks of it, if he gives it thought
at all, the farmer of the South will con.
clude that it is better for his interest
that, in the increase of population, the
greatest increase shall be, not of farmers
but of manufacturers, who shall be
consumers Of the products Of his labor,
and not competitive producers and
non-consumers. 1t is therefore the in>
terest of the farmer, of all classes, to
encourage manufactures and railroads
and to welcome the foreign capital and
labor which accompanies them.

For Farmers Only.

Nashville American.
There is no class of our industrial
population in the Southern States who
should be more inclined to encourage
the erection of manufacturing estab.
lishments in the South than the farmer.
To 10 class is this kind of development
more important, for it makes him
home market, and Saves him much in
the one item of transportation. This
is an established axiom of the worlds
experience. The ablest economists of
the world have demonstrated it. In
Adam Smiths letters, published hun
dred years ago, under the title of, "In-
quiry into the Nature and Causes of
the Wealth of Nations" he thus ex-
presses the advantage of the home mar
ket:
"Whatever, then, tends to diminish
in any country the number Of arti6cers
and manufacturers tends to diminish
the home market-the most important
of all markets for the rude product of
the land"
Alexander Hamilton expressed the
same idea, regarding the foreign de,
mand for our agricultural surplus as
too uncertain of reliance, he proposed
to substitute the home market In
other words, he desired a certain mar
ket in our own country which weeould
control, to an uncertain one in other
countries which we could not control.
He held, therefore, that to secure such
market, there is no other expedient
than to promote manufacturing estab-
lishments," on the ground that "manu.
facturers, who constitute the most nu.
merous class after the cultivators of the
land, are for that reason the principal
consumers of the surplus of Their labor.
1t should not be forgotten that by man
utacturers is meant, not those merely
who furnish the capital to manufacture,
but those who furnish the labor. y AL
are manufacturers, just as much as the
field hand, as well as the landed pro.
prietor, is a farmer. In both capita
and labor are united in common
cause and are indispensable one to an
other. George Basil Dixwell, in re

Thoughts Upon Feeding.

Cor. New England Farmer.
An animal may be said to be a liv-
ing locomotive, the flesh the engine,
and the fat the coal in the tender.
The animal obtains fat and flesh from
its food, either or both, as the system
requires it. There must be limit to
the development of muscle; when the
muscle can grow no larger, there will
be no requirement for muscle-makiDg
food except to repair waste. That
waste may be the smallest possible,
through inaction, when a minimum
amount of muscle-making food will be
needed, and if more is givenit will be
cast off as waste material, as it cannot
be converted into fat Hence | con.
clude the animal has the power to use
food TO meet the demands upon it, OF
to send that food through the usual
waste channels. 1t has the further
power of sending the muscle-forming
material to that particular part Of the
body requiring it. The muscles in the
right arm of the blacksmith are larger
and stronger than in his left arm, be
cause more strength is required there
The functions of the body which pre-
pare the muscle material and send il
where it is needed, not sending it tC
every muscle just because it is a mus
Gle, must grow stronger by the in
creased demands upon them. We SCI
