STOCK ITEMS.

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman
says that COW which at home will test
up to fourteen pounds of butter a week
standard, il taken to q strange place,
among strange cattle, and MIXED by u
cross man, will not make half that guam
tity.
If you have a COW that sucks herself, OF
one that leaks her milk, or is troublesome
to milk, get such a COW ready for the
butcher as soon rs possible Breachy cows
are also an intolerable nuisance, and should
be sent to the shambles at the very first
opportunity. One mischievous, tricky,
sneaking COW will soon spoil all her COM
panions.-Breedcrs' Gazette.
Il will never try again to winter stock
in a valley" said stockman the other
day. "Why nOt!" was asked. because
when the wind sucks through the valleys it
is worse than on the hill top. When it is
still it is four or five degrees colder in the
valleys. l want heavy grove OH tho

my cattle can shift from one to another"
The farmer who is able to buy thor
oughbred bull land there are but few who
can not do SO at the present low pricesl
and is using scrub bulls. is an enemy to
the country. Every man is an enemy to
his country who can and will not help to
ameliorate the condition of his fellow
men. The toiling masses want better beef
and the way TO have it is to improve the
scrub cattle of the country by using thor
oughbred bulls. Within the past week we
have seen No. bulls going begging at less
than $5O.-Jomrnal Of agriculture.
Some families of Jerseys are but little
better than scrubs for milk or butter. Every
time bull of one Of these families is sold,
the breed is injured. A farmer near me
paid $50 for a Jersey grade calf which, at
three years old, is hardly able to pay for
her keeping. She was bought simply be-
cause she was jersey" Her owner will
now do his best to convince all hearers
that Jerseys" are good for nothing. The
Jersey breed will never be able to reach its
proper place until breeders musterup cour-
age enough to conduct a systematic kill
ing of all poor bull calves.-Cor. Rural

Estab1lshnent 81 . Factory for Aakin9
Porpolse Leather and on.
The most considerable event which
has taken place at Hatteras for . long
time has been the establishment of .
porpoise factory by some Wilmington
capitalists. As regularly organized
industry the business is new to the
country. The fishermen have caught
more or less porpoises every winter,
but have never done more than to fry
out from their blubber a small quantity
of oil. The new company, however, has
purchased special machinery and i'm
ported skilled workmen from Europe,
and proposes to make leather, oil and
fertilizers. No leather has been placed
on the market thus far. That from
young individuals has curious ''pile"
like velvet and is very beautiful. 1t
may perhaps be used in uphOlstering in
place of plush. than which it would be
far more durable. The pOrpoises ap-
pear of the beach nearly every day
and the fishery is prosecuted daily
unless the sea is running too high.
Only the strongest nets would hold
pOrpoises, and when frightened they
will dart about with inconceivable "a
pidity and strike against the nets with
great force. They are first impounded
in a very large net and afterward
brought to the beach by a sweep seine
made of the strongest Irvine. 1t is a
strange and exciting scene when sixty
or eighty of these powerful creatures,
each eight or nine feet long, are being
pulled in toward the beach. They
struggle desperately and make con-
tinual piping sound like the squealing
of rats. Many become entangled in
the net and are drowned, but the ma
jority have to be killed after they are
drawn out of the water. Although the
fishermen persist in calling them fish
they are, of course, true milk-giving
mammalia. The milk is not unpalat-
able, but very rich and with a flavor
like cOcOanut milk.
Although the winter has been very
unfavorable large number of por-
pOises have been taken. The season
closed in May. The fishermen stay in
their camp on the beach every day
from dawn until sunset, whether any
''tish" appear or not. They are
warned of their approach by spies sta
toned half a mile north and south of
the camp. The men say that the fish
cry is mo fun" which means that it is
exceedingly Observation-Disclosures On

Wet and Dry Countries.

In the valley of the Rio Pecos, West
Texas, there are districts where not a
single drop of rain has fallen since
April, 1885. The smaller tributaries
of the river have entirely disappeared,
and the drought thus far has cost the
settlers some three thousand head OF
cattle. In the upper half of the PccOs
valley a continuous drought of ten
months is not considered any thing
abnormal; but this year even the
usually redceming month of March
passed without drop of rain, and no
relief from the sky, at least, is ex-
pected before February. 1887. The
other extreme is probably the southeast
corner of Alabama, where sixty-eight
inches year is nothing unusual
South America, however. is a country
of much greater extremes. In the low
lands of Venezuela the yearly supply
varies from one hundred and fifty to
one hundred and seventy-fve inches.
while on the coast of Peru there are
districts where one light shower in
twenty-five years is considered a fair
average.-ChicagO Times.

family incident. Some generations back
there was a great drought in Connecticut,
New England. The water disappeared
from the hills, and the farmers living on
the hills drove their cattle down toward
the valleys and had them supplied at the
wells and fountains of the neighbors. But
these after awhile began to fail, and the
neighbors said to Mr.. Birdseye, Of whom
shall speak:
"You must not send your hocks and
herds down here any more, our wells are
giving out"
Mr.. Birdseye, the old Christian man
gathered his family at the altar, and with
his family he gathered the slaves of the
household-for bondage was then in
vogue In Connecticut-and On their knees
before God they cried for water; and the
family story is that there was weeping and
great sobbing at that altar that the family
might not perish for lack of water, and
that the herds and focks might not perish.
The family rose from the altar. Mr.. Birds.

CnafleSton news ana courier
About forty years ago few of the farmers of
Barnwell county began to plant watermelons
for market" The cultivation of the crop was
so easy and the profits so large that the acreage
was increased better methods were employed,
improved varieties Of seed used and closer
economies practiced, until now the grow
ing of melons for shipment to Northern
and Western cities has become an estab-
lished industry. In 1884 5000 acres
were planted in watermelons. Owing to certain
unfavorable conditions of the seasons and the
markets the returns on the crops were not so
large as had been expected, and the melon grow
were somewhat discouraged The acreage
in 1885 was considerably reduced, not more than
2,34S acres having been planted in melons. The
profits on the crop last year were SO large and
the demand so we'll sustained throughout the
season that there have been more than 5000 acres
planted in melons this year. The condition of the
crop is promising, although the heavy rains in
June, it is believed by some of the growers, will
greatly decrease the yield. The early rains In
June caused many OF the first melons to fall off
the vines, and the heavy showers with the cool
weather which prevailed during part of the
month will probably damage the second crop of
melons, or cause them to shed" The vines
however appear to be strong and healthy, and
with favorable weather until the middle of July
the crop will doubtless be the largest and most
remunerative ever grown.

A Remarkable Wedding Ring.


The observer was recently shown a plain gold
wedding ring that had evidently received violent
treatment, for it was badly bruised ana
scratched 1t adorns tale. Many years ago a
young man of brilliant parts and high ambition
was married by Mr.. Beecher to his lady love.
who swore, as IN the Merchant of Venice, y
when the emblem of love was placed upon her
hand:
When this ring
Parts from this finger then parts life from hence.
That young man was Theodore Tilton. The ring
remained upon the finger of his wife through
many happy years as they lived in the old house
in Brooklyn, and went out into the cultivated
and brilliant society of which Mr. Tilton and Mr.
Beecher were conspicuous members. In 1872 the
husband and wife became estranged, when their
last meeting was stormy one, and he in a fit
of violent rage tore the wedding ring from her
finger and cursed the day of their meeting. Mr.
Tlton made frequent pilgrimages to the grave
of the little child, and here he stamped the ring
into the sod as fitting climax to the tragedy of
his marriage.
