Sheep for Wool and Mutton.

About ten years ago began with a
small flock of twenty scrub ewes and
one thoroughbred Merino buck. l soon
numbered one hundred head, graded
one-fourth to one-half Merino. l had
a strong constitution and fine fiber of
wool, but l wanted still better; de-
sired larger sheep for mutton, more
rapidly-growing and earlier-maturing
lambs; wanted more wool, too. The
next cross was with Cotswold, high
grazing sheep adapted to Kentucky and
Tennessee breed that Colonel
Richard Peters and other eminent au-
thorities considered unfit to breed on
the cotton plantations of middle Geor-
gia. My success has been equally re-
markable with this large frame, long
comb mutton sheep. have kept as
many as eighty to one hundred head,
generally selling off in early spring the
buck lambs for mutton, and OCCASION
ally q buck and small flock to some
neighbor for breeding purposes. From
twenty head worth fifty dollars, with
the buck, have in ten years sold wool
and mutton amounting to five hundred
dollars. ! have lost but few sheep by
dogs, and my focks have been very
healthy, entirely exempt from foot rot
and other diseases that these animals
are subject to on the Downs of England
and in some of our Northwesterly
States.
Undoubtedly the Merino is the sheep
to begin with; above all others he
shows the greatest vigor of constitu-
ton and adaptability to climate, food,
ETC., and by crossing on the Cotswold
or Southdown, you have both wool and
mutton, the latter preferable for
mutton, but for all purposes ]
prefer the Cotswold. 1 feed
my sheep in winter, two or three
months only, on turnips, cotton seed
and little bran, keeping them always
fat. / try to have a good bite of rye
for the ewes and lambs from about Jan
uary to February when lambs should
drop. The earlier the lambs appear
the better In my humble Judgment, a
January lamb is worth two March ones.
My sheep and cattle pay enormously in
treading land and patches that pay for
feeding them during the hard part Of
winter. have tried to encourage the
growing of wool and mutton, as there
is, think, nothing more profitable.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Agricultural Truth ! unlA


In an articleund the heading Cut
tivation Of Corn Major j. II. Dent
saSss N had visit from and old, ex-
peEfenced Vermont farmer who had
become rich from farming, and in look
ing at our fafms and mode of cultiva-
ton hS remarked that Unless grass
and stock were raised on our farms, in
few years we would have no soil to
cultivate, for no lands could last SO
constantly cultivated under the plow.'n
To the above sound Northern con.
ception, Georgia's model farmer res
plies: 1--WE see it taking place, and
have resorted to terracing to save them;
but nothing will save them and main
tain their fertility like grass, clover
and the small grain cops. Let the cul-
tivation of grain and grass and the
raising of stock be enlarged, and the
planting of cotton be curtailed.n
The remarks OF the Vermont farmer
call to mind another farmer born and
reared in the cold climate of that
Northern State, who, emigrating to
Western New York in the first decade
OF this century. made fortune by
farming and did not have a pillow on
his farm. His plan was to convert
through the organizing power Of grass
and the COW, air and water into milk,
butter, cheese and money, with no
pillow to aid the soil In wasting fertility.
la an early day before the Erie canal
was made, when it cost two bushels of
wheat in Western New York to send
one bushel to tide water on the Hudson
river, butter and cheese were taken in
boats and on RATS down the Chenango
and Suequehanna rivers to Baltimore
and other distant markets. Wearing
out land in producing crops which are
worth less than the raw material
consumed in making them, is
one of the worst mistakes in
American agriculture. 1t is bad enough
to throw away honest, hard work on
the farm by misapplied tillage; but to
incur double loss, loss of plant food
as we'll as of labor, makes such farm
ing very improbable industry. To
tell the plain truth in the plainest
manner, how many million laborers in
this great nation of farmers consume
in part the earth's natural fertility to
the injury of mankindp Our present
system of tillage and husbandry has
come to us by inheritance. 1t has
spread almost hopeless sterility over
vast areas of Alaska, Africa, Europe
and America. 1t works the soil,
whether deep or shallow, precisely as
miner works gold mine-he takes
all that he can find that is worth hav-
ing, and then opens a new placer or
plantation elsewhere. Restitution of
plant food corrects this evil in some
degree. The restitution made is apt
to be defective with diminished capital
in long cultivated fields. Southern

Negro Alliances.


j. j. Rogers, of Apex, N. c., gives
some facts about the Alliances being
organized among the negroes. He
says: "The colored Farmers Alliance
is separate and distinct organization
frcm the white Alliance. 1t is regu-
larly chartered, and according to its
constitution is composed OF colored
members alone. It's principal objects
are to educate the colored race, to
make them more industrious, make
them more frugal, more reliable, more
thoughtful, more faithful, better peo-
pie, better citizens, and to better the ir
condition financially. The or
der originated in Texas, on
the 10th day Of December, 1886,
by sixteen colored mon and cit
liens of Texas. They set forth
their declarations of purposes and
assigned reasons why they desired to
incorporate and organize for them
selves.
1t is true that the colored Alliance is
spreading rapidly, now being in ten
different States, with general super
intendent in each State. l have &C.
cepted the position as general super
intendent for North Carolina. l think
the colored alliance is organized with
good intentions and with the hope OF
accomplishing much good to the race
for which it is organized. And, too,
if kept separate as it is organized,
and only aided by the members of the
white Alliance and all other good peo-
pie, it will work out great good to
both white and colored. "-Raleigb IN.

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when
Dr. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,
ETC., were called Bitters. Had he called it
Prickly Ash Regulator Curative" or
almost anything but Buffers, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepare
tons of similar character. The name Bit
ters is misleading; it Is purely medicine,
and can not be used as beverage.
