despite the terrible losses of war
and negro rule, South Carolina, last
year, derived from agriculture, manu-.
facture and mining, $4,000, 900 more
than in 1850. The advance in agri.
culture is due to the labors of the white
people of the State. The colored labor
was less efficient last year than FIVE
years ago, and the available supply
constantly less than the demand. The
colored farmers as rule are not max.
ing progress, not saving money and not
acquiring land. They succeed better
as land owners than tenants, and as a
body are valuable as laborers only 40
far as they are directed and controlled
by white men. The number of immi.
grants in the State is insignificant. 1t
is the native white farmers who have
lifted South Carolina agriculture out of
the slough, and who make it progress
sive and profitable. -

Home-Bred Cows.

We have no doubt that dairymen
find it extremely difficult to buy pro.
fitable COWS in market, and the more
the dairyman knows about cows, the
nearer impossible he will find it to buy
such COWS as he wants.
Now, is this not really the turning
point in the case? The dairyman
must have profitable cows, or he can.
not afford to carry on the business. 1t
is generally conceded that he cannot
depend upon finding them in market.
and as the low average yield of diaries
proves the business Improbable, what
reasonable solution can there be, but to
intelligently breed his own cows?
Given good cows, good dairymay can
keep them at fair profit.
If it is proposed that the dairyman
shall raise no better COWS than he can
buy; then he certainly cannot afford to
raise them, for they are not worth rails
ing. But we must suppose that he
goes into this business of breeding his
own cows, just as any prudent man
should go into any business-studies all
its points, and tries to understand it.
He will breed heifers only from his
best COWS. And to know which are
his best COWS, he must test each cow
separately. This cannot be guessed
at. If his herd Is kept, uniformly
for quantity of milk, then this test may
be sufficient; but If for general dairy
purposes, he must test for quantity Of
butter as well. The cream test has lit.
tie value, for quantity of cream does
not determine quantity of butter.
When the dalryman knows the lndl'
vidual merit Of his cows, then he is
prepared to breed intellgently, from
them. He will, of course, be as gaurd.
ed and critical of the merit of the sire
as of the dam. If he studies the mat,
ter as he should, he will select a pure
bred male of the breed which he thinks
best adapted to his style of dairying
The dam and grandam of the sire, al
least, should have strong merit in the
particular excellence he wishes to breeC
in his heifers. National Live-Stocl
