KEEP SHEEP.

1t has been a surprise to many
persons that so little interest has
been taken in sheepraising,f for there
is more money in sheep, for less la
Dor, than in any other department
of farm work. Every farmer
should keep a few good sheep, say
from twenty to forty. These sheep
should be good ones; the Merino and
Cotswold crossed makes good line
of sheep. A man can produce from
forty such sheep about $50 pounds
of wool; now at the low price of
25 cents pound, would give him
$3.50. But there are some other
profits besides the wool, as every
year a few fat sheep can be sold in
the market, which will yield good
sum of money; say ten sheep
20 into market at 8 cents pound,
and the whole net weight at $50
each would be 1900 pounds; this
yields forty-five dollars, making the
yearly increase of $132.5O. The
cost of keeping sheep through the
winter is but tritling when com.
pared to the cost and labor on
other stock.

READ ANDEiACT.

We desire to call attention to our
article in last weeks TIMES to the
planting of walnuts. If you did
not read it, hunt up the paper and
read it now, as it is matter of in
terest to all land owners. If each
farmer had ten acres of walnut
timber planted 40 years ago what
would it be worth to him to-day?
At least $429 per acre, as 429 trees
would stand on ten acres, ten feet
apart, each way. Reckoning each
tree worth one dollar, which would
be low estimate,in walnut lumber,
this would give man $500 for his
ten acres. But, you say, I am too
old now to reap any reward. Not
80; we saw u walnut grove Of seven
acres in South Kansas which was
but four years old, and it increased
the selling value of the land upon
which it was situated one thousand
dollars.

Clear Spring.

There has been a meeting at this
place for the past week. On last
Sunday Rev. Kittrell commenced
the meeting, but was taken sick
and went home Tuesday. Rev. J.
A. RI >)e preached Tuesday, Tues
day night and Wednesday, when
Rev. J. N. Henry, from Kingston,
came and preached until Sunday.
The weather became so inclement
that the meeting was closed. The
people are we'll pleased with the
meeting, and considerable interest
was manifested. The word was
divided to both saint and sinner
and think some of those who pro-
fess to be religious understood
what the preacher said, and l know
the sinner did.
Our old friend, Alex Eagleton,
was over and attended the meeting
until 1t closed.
Our school closed Friday. Robert
Walker has been teaching here
for six months and he leaves our
community with their best wishes

fortunes of the future strew his
path with flowers wherever he
goes.

Sink or Swim.

There are some things that ought
to be done for the people of Blount
County, and they can only be done
by the County Court. The question
is, have the members of that body
got the backbone to rise above the
clamOr of a few men who are salts
fed to stand at the foot of the class
of progress, or are they willing to
step out on the through line, and,
in the language OF John Adams,
say, "Sink or swim, live or die, sur
vive or perish, am for progress"
You say, now, what is this that
requires this wonderful heroism,
this craftsmanship, and progress
ion?
First-The County needs better
roads; her people can never be
prosperous without them. We do
not ask the people to be taxed, and
yet it is really the best way for the
people to be taxed, which tax
should be assessed according to the
benefits to the land lying within
two miles of the road, and this tax
be divided into eight payments,
payable in work or material on the
road.
Second-What we think the
County Court ought to do is, buy a
stone-crusher for the people of the
County, to be free for the use OF
any district that will organize and
build free pixies. Then there ought
to be the necessary implements tc
go with it to man it. In this way
we believe there would be a mum
Der of miles of stone road made
during the next year.
The TIMES would be pleased tt
see enough of the substantial, pro
gressive.spirited men, at our mex
Court, stand up before the people o
the County and say the County
must have a stone-crusher; "sinl
or SWIM" it must be done. Will
that kind of spirit of progress w
will take such stand as will brin,
Blount County up to the top in Eas
Tennessee.

Mr.. Dodge statician to the department
Of agriculture, states that the area OF
Indian corn in the United States has IN
creased 20 per cent. within the past six
years. Corn occupies more than half the
area in cereals and produces greater value
than any other crop, except grasses, for
hay and pasture. According to the last
crop report, the average yield this season
is % bushels per acre, or 1865, co., OO
bushels.
The wheat yield for the country is esti-
mated to be about 450,000,00O or 12A
bushels per acre. Rye will yield little
less than wheat, or 11.8 bushels per acre.
The oat crop was badly damaged in sew
eral of the large producing states. The
average yield is estimated at about 26h
bushels per acre, which insures crop of
over 900, 100000 bushels. The general
average of the barley crop is 22.4 per
acre, which is above the average for q
series of years. Buckwheat promises a
product exceeding II, 900, 600 bushels. The
average yield for the hay crop is close upon
$4,000, 900 tons. The potato product shows
higher yields in the east and lower in the
west than last year, giving product for
the whole country Of 1853, OOO, 900 bushels.

FARMERS CONVENTION.

Farmers Conventions would be
very profitable. Each district in
the county should organize and
hold monthly meetings, and at
these meetings all subjects of inter-
est to farmers should be discussed,
as there will never be a time but
there will be something to learn
from the experience of others en-
gagged in the same business. Corn,
wheat, oats and hogs are not the
only subjects which should interest
farmers.
But they should.be interested in
the smallest matters pertaining to
the farm, the garden, the house, the
barn, the crib, the cattle, sheep and
vegetables. Farming is grand
science if studied Alright. The
Pslamist said: "The Heavens de-
clare the glory of God and the fir
mament showeth His handiwork."
So the farm declares tie glory and
intelligence of man, as we'll as his
handiwork.

THE NEW FIELD.

This week we begin the publica-
ton of farm and garden articles,
prepared by L. G. Benedict, a man
Of experience, and we believe it v i'll
be acceptable to all. The great OBJ
iect of the TINES has been to ell.
courage the people to a higher
stand in all departments Of labor.
That not only their experience may
be more valuable to themselves but
that the country may have the
benefit of the same. For years the
editor has had great desire TO in
terest and benefit farmers, fruit
raisers, stockmen, &C., to take more
interest in the higher walks of their
calling. To do this requires time,
labor and money. We have been
giving some attention to a part of
these subjects in our editorial col
umns, but lack the three depart
ments referred to, and while we
have had some help as given on
the inside of our paper, yet these
articles were not general enough,
neither were they as critical as we
desired. But we think we have now
received the aid we need and trust
the friends of the New South will
help us to do a good work in this
field of labor. There are great pos
sibilities before the people of the
South if they will but improve the
opportunities offered; our old fields
and hills will yet be our pride and
our farmers will stand along beside
the men of other States who boast
of the fat granaries, large herds of
cattle and flOcks of sheep.
