SLoBBERING AND ITS CCRE.-The tre-
quent slobbcring of horses at this season is
variously accounted for. We have heard
it attributed to the second growth clover,
to the spiders web on the herbage, to To-
bella, St. Johns wort, and other plan Is,
but never yet to pennyroyai. But having
occasion to make use of neighbor's pass
turc for few nights, for our horses, we
found them soldering profusely from the
effects of the rennyroyal which grew abun-
dantly in the field The COWS which graz
en- in the field were also troubled with pro-
fuse salvation We have had previous
knowledge that lobclia and St. Johns wort
would produce the same trouble, and now
are sure that penuyroyal may be added to
the list But we doubt very much that
second growth clover will cause it; ind Iced,
we have had good reasons to know that it
does not in some cases. The soldering OF
horses and COWS is caused by the irritating
effect upon the salivary glands, of the
strong essential oil Of tho plants which
produce it. If one will chew some lobelia,
St. johns wort or rcnnyroyal, he will find
the salvary glands to be excited in this
manner. The effect is removed by eating
any dry substance, as oatmeal, middlings
or cornmcal, aud the best remedy for it is
to give any animal which is suffering from
the salvation feed of dry meal or mid
dliags; this will put stop to it at once

TIE CoLoHED DUS.--Little Rock =,
Ark, January 13.-Thc immigration Of
negroes from North and South Carolina to
this State is attracting attention. The new
comcrs have generally chosen Chicot, Dosha
and Drew counties, in southern Ark ansas,
as places of abode. The negro population
is very large in that section, particularly
in Desha and Chicct counties, where the
Republicans have the majority and choose
the county officers, dividing the cflices with
the blacks. In the past three months
hundreds of negroes have settled in these
counties.
a gentleman in this city has received a
letter from Charleston, S. c., saying that
the writer, leading colored man, desired
to locate forty or fifty families comprising
five to eight persons each, in this State dur
ing January. Other letters from different
| parts Of the Caroliaas indicate that at least
200 negroes will come to Arkansas be,

bacon may reach ten or twelve cents per
pound. Gran, that To he ST., for the press
ent. Now, let rs in turn ask, what the
cotton money ,ha; he buys the six cents
bacon with. cost; him Did you ever
think of that? If one buys horse for
500 and sells him for fifty, the fifty dol.
lars last in hand costs him in reality one
hundred dollars. May not this be the
clsc with his cotton money? May not
every dollar Of it cost him two dollars to
mike or get it? We have no, doubt that
in some cases it does cases of bad manage
ment with poor crop years in other instan-
grade up to point where it is less than
tho money received from the crop, or where
there is an actual profit. Now if the six
cents that will buy pound of bacon was
procured really at a cost Of twelve cents,
the apparently cheap bacon may have been
quite dear after all Where bacon is
bought through a merchant on time, all
know it is very dear. The same kind of
reasoning applies to corn and other provis>
ions bought with cott.n money.
SECRET OF CHEAP FooD AT TIE NORTH.
But cannot pork and corn anl other
provisions be raised on our farms very
much cheaper than they usually are, or
than We reckon that they can be, can we
not raise them about As cheap as is done
in the Northwest? We do not inc lude
w&cat, (and rye perhaps, because climate
is against us-but NJ good reason can bo
given why corn. oats, barley, forage, hogs,
mules, horses, sheep and goats cannot be
raised just as chcapiy, on land of same
quality and age, at the South as they arc
ut the North Northern farmers have to
contend with drought and storms, as we do;
their summers are shorter than ours. and
their corn is liable to be cut off by frost !;
which ours is not. Their land is no rich
CT than ours-somc Of it is poor, and
some Of " is rich and that is the case with
ours No, the Northern farmer has no
natural advantages over the Southern for
raising cheap food. But from force of
climate he has been driven 10 raising good
crops-cotton and su ar clnc and rice will
not grow therc-corn, small grain and
grassus are Cue uaInri products Of his cold
climate. lie raises hi provisions at home,
therefore, and runs more economic schcd-
ue. lie is 1rced to buy very little to
carry on his arm. His crops arc such as
require conD ratively little labor, and the
abscn. , o. Slaves and scarcity Of laborers
comp, led him to ccolomzc labor in every
possible way. Horses an machines were
brought into requs,tion wherever it was
practicable. The character Of his crops
kept his lands filled with humus, and less
scourged with the plow. These are the
chief reasons of his cheap corn and bacon,
and if VIC will foreso our extra privilege Of
raisig cotton to some extent, and pursue
his methods, we can raise cheap corn and
meat as well as he.

Says a farmer, cannot raise bacon for
six or seven cents pound (thc present
market price, therefore it is cheaper to
buy than to raise it, His calculation is
based presumably on raising and fattening
pigs, on corn that costs too much, and
probably on the data assumed, the cost Of
