The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1891-04-17

The name Of Capt. T. S. Ford is
newly mentioned in connection
with The United States Senator
ship. We do not know whether
the Captain has given the matter a
serious thought or moi, but this is
true: lie Is a prominent figure in
This section OF the State and a man
of ability, and when he shows his
hand South Mississippi will stand
pat and help him secure any place
he wants.-GuG Coast Progress.
Yes, South Mississippi has al
ways stood by Capt. Ford, and
should he ever enter the political
ring, would be a hard man TO beat
in this section. We do not know
whether he could be induced to go
into politics or not, as he seems 10
love his profession better.

WE regret to hear of the death
Of Miss Ida Elmer, the lovely
and accomplished daughter of May
or +. w. Elmer, of Biloxi, which
occurred at her home Tuesday last.
She was seventeen years of age
and universally admired. The
DEMocRAT-STAR tenders condo
lence to the stricken parents.

Mr.. WILL L. Nix, one of Scran-
tons clever and enterpriSing MGR
chants, has a conspicuous adyer-
tisement in the DEMoCRAT-STAR
to day, which shows that he be-
lieves in printers ink, and he in
vites all who need dry goods, no.
tons, groceries, etc, to give him a
trial. He a please your taste
and pocket-book in all that applies
to style, quality and price, for he
makes it a study TO see that the
style is correct, the quality good,
and The price the most reasonable.

ABOUT HORSE BREEDING.

A nan who breeds vicious, diseased,
worthless or hrokendown mare does
wrong to both human and equine race,
declares Charles II. Crandall. In like
degree, whoever refuses to let fine mare
perpetuate her kind also cheats human
kind and horse-kind of their due. Every
fine mare should be allowed to raise
several colts. She will be just as useful,
in the long run, and live as long. Breed
for purpose. The heavy draught horse
is we'll enough in front of heavy dray,
but the horse is the all-round horse.
Let him weigh $50 to 1900, have sufti-
Gent style for a carriage-horse, muscle
and bone enough for blowing and haul
ing, and the spirit and action to trot
mile inside four or tive minutes. For
Northern climates select Northern-bred
stock. The horses Of Canada. Vermont
and northern New York, with an infusion
of the old Morgan and Hambietonian
blood, cannot be excelled for all-round
horses. See that size, symmetry, spirit,
action and intelligence are combined.
Do not place hopes in trotters. Slim is
the chance, with the best stations and
the finest of mares, or getting a colt that
will trot under $50, and unless colt
trots under 2:30 he will not bring a big
price.-Neso York Tribune.
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1891-05-08
FATTENING CALVES.

In raising calves for veal the sooner the
young animals are fatted and sufficiently
matured for the purpose the more profit
there will be in it. This will be
accomplished by the natural process of
drawing the milk from the mother
sooner than by artificial feeding, and
calves that are allowed to suck their
dams will be preferred by the butcher.
AS matter of profit to the dairymen
the milk will be of more value than the
calf, but to a farmer who has plenty of
milk and poor market for it it may be
quite different. In this case it is simply
a question of the best way to fatten the
calf. If nearly all the milk of the COW
is required, then remove the calf as soon
as he has enough and strip the COW clean
at once. Where half of the milk will be
sufficient the first half will be the least
fattening, and it will be question for
the owner to decide whether the calf
shall have the first or the last. It should,
however, be remembered that there is
nothing to be gained by limiting the
milk ration of a calf that is being
fattened for veal or in attempting to
fatten him on skim milk.-NeU York

SHEEP.

Some years ago used to be much in
terested in sheep, writes Y. P. Rich
mond, an Illinois expert, and although I
have given up the farm and the care of
stock, yet still feel desire now and
then to write few words in the interest
of farmers. Nothing OF the same value
paws a better profit to the farm than
sheep. Pastures will carry more stock
with sheep than without. Weeds do not
grow we'll within reach of sheep, and Of
course the fewer weeds in pasture the
better the glass can grow. 1t is not IN
usual to see thin cattle and horses IN
weedy pastures. Put in sheep enough
in the same pastures to take care of the
weeds, and stock, having better grass,
will improve. This is the conclusion
come to with more than fifty years ex-
perience. 1t will pay to keep good
sheep, according to the amount of pas
ture, on any farm in Illinois. Poor sheep
or too many of them, with the low prices
for wool and mutton, are not profitable
anywhere. There are not many farms
in Illinois where sheep as a speciality can
be carried with great profit, because too
many OIL Luelu CHuuOL earn LueIT keep as
scavengers, and every farm should have
sheep. With few sheep on the farm
all the wool and increase sold is clear
profit, for a few sheep earn more than
their board as weed exterminators. A
word as to breeds will be in order It
don't matter much what breed so they
are not all breeds mixed. The Merinos
are the hardest; the black faces next.
First Of the black faces are the South
downs, but they do not yield so much
wool or mutton. Stock-yard sheep are
not the kind for a farmer to handle. If
they are not diseased they come from
where contagion is liable, and diseased
sheep is curse to his owner and all his
neighbors. Scab and ticks can be kept
from flock by the free use of sulphur
and salt. have used sulphur all kinds
of weather and have never known of any
bad effects even when cold and strong
weather followed the use of it, 1t is
best to feed in small quantities with salt.
Now is a good time to use sulphur

PROFIT FROM THE DAIRY.

Professor Wood, of Storr's Station,
Conn, says: "Nearly one-fourth of the
dairy cows are kept at loss, while one
third are kept without profit. This
makes third of the money invested
dead capital. In winter, with the best
cows and good feeding. about two-thirds
of the food is consumed in supporting
life. The profit comes from the other
third. Breed is important in a cow, but
is not everything. With good feeding
a slight profit is received. Add one
eighth more and the profit is doubled.
Judicious feeding does not shorten the
life of cow. Give variety of food.
Leguminous foods, as peas, clover, etc,
not only benefit cattle but the land"
