Some time ago We published
an article over the signature of DR..
NJ. Moore, of this place, recon-
mending the cultivation of Sea
Island cotton on our coast lands.
In that article it was stated that
this could be done successfully and
Wotitably, and in veriication Of
that assertion we have in our Office
II few stalks of this cotton from
the farm of Mr.. w. j. Parker, of
Orange Grove, brought in last Sat
urday. They are over two feet in
height, have squares forming, aud,
if it is as prolific as the short cot
ton in the upper part OF the State,
it bids fair TO yield three hundred
pounds to the acre. This cotton
was planted April 2Stl, aud lightly
fertilized, but is now thirty ing aud
promising, showing what can be
done in the way of making cotton
raising Il great industry on the
coast.

EARLY FEEDING.
No Economy in Turning Stock upon Pas
lures Until the Grass Be Well Grown.

No Economy in Turning Stock upon Pas
lures Until the Grass Be Well Grown.
There is no economy in turning
stock, especially cattle and horses,
upon pasture until the grass is up so as
to afford full bite. When the blades
first spring up they induce root action
that is, the annual roots are called
INTO growth and thus furnish strong
growth in the tops. If fed close early
in the spring this root growth is
checked, and hence the burden of
grass is lessened, the poaching of soil
kills or checks growth also, and this,
together with the gnawing of stock
down into the grass roots, where per-
sisted in, may lessen the crop fully
one-half For horses grass should
Fave made a growth of not less than
two inches, and for cattle four inches
before it is pastured, and not then if
wet weather renders the ground soft.
Those, on the other hand. who keep
their stock from pasture until the grass
is flush, although they may increase
the annual outcome, do so, neverthe-
less, at a loss to their herds. Cattle,
sheep and horses are subject to bloat
from too greedy feeding, and also to
securing from too sudden change
from dry TO green food. Cattle should
be turned upon grass when it is OF such
q height that they can comfortably till
themselves in half days grazing, and
the same rule will apply to sheep. VI
course, the soil being firm, sheep will
find good picking where cattle would
starye. Horses bite much closer than
cattle and fully as closely as sheep.
Their stomachs are small compared to
those Of cattle and digestion is con-
tinuous. They may be turned on a
firm pasture, when they can satisfy
themselves by pretty industrious graz
ing during the day.
As rule, farmers are anxious to get
their stock upon grass as early IN the
spring as possible, and stock are as
eager for the grass as their masters are
anxious to intermit the foddering.
Every person must draw the line for
himself and decide according to the
circumstances governing his particular
case. The practical working, however,
will be found as we have stated, unless
in exceptional cases, such as scarcity
of fodder or such an abundance OF
pasture that the stock can not consume
it as fast as it grows. The remedy
here is to increase the stock. Chscogo
Tribune.

ma live when we deserved nothing
but capsizes and demolition. How long
have you lived unpardoned? Fifteen
wears, twenty years, forty years, sixty
wears. You have lived through great re-
iigious awakenings, through domestic
calamities, through business disaster,
through alarming illness, through provi-
dences that startled nations, and living
vet strangers to God and duty, and with
no hope for a future into which at any mo-
ment you may be precipltated. through

tionized and TRANSPORTED, for God some
times changes His gait, and instead OF the
deliberate step He becomes a swift wit

Take down the old flag and run up the
new one! The American Congress, dur

were for long days in anxiety to know
whether the army of Washington or the
army of CORVALLIS would conquer, and
when the news finally arrived at the door
of Congress that CORVALLIS had surren-
dered and. the war was over the door
keeper dropped dead from joyful excite
ment. Oh! if this moment the long con-
fiict between your soul and God could ter

dings would soon reach Heaven, and moth
