Mr.. Sain's business, but if our farm
ers will act wisely, they will keep thei
COWS and heifers and multiply thei
stock of cattle. Cattle are in deman,
at good prices and will doubtless con

more grass, and keep their cows an
heiters and cross with thoroughbre
shorthorns, Tennessee might soon boas
of as fine beef cattle as Kentucky, @
any other State, and our farmers fin
the business very profitable. But, $
long as we send away our best cattl
and keep the inferior ones to raise from
the business will prove Improbable.
