Feeding VS.. Breeding.

The very many different breeds
of thoroughbred stock which we now
have, and which added so many thou
sands OF dollars to the material wealth
of the country, are the direct results of,
first, generous feeding and second,
systematic breeding. There are scores
OF persons, even breeders themselves,
who give breeding the first place, when
il should merely have a secondary one,
for breeding viewed in its proper light,
has done but little towards the improve
ment 1--WE use the wore adViSedly) of live
stock. With feeding, however, it is not
so; for generous and systematic feeding
is what really develops, fosters and inn
proves all the good which happens to be
innate How have these particular
breeds of cattle, horses, etc, been pro-
duced for especial purpose, except by
generous feeding, second by proper at
tention to hygienic laws? This is the
impulse which has developed the de-
sired qualities, whether 1t has been
for flesh, size, endurance, milk, form
or other popularity. This is as far
as feeding alone can go, and breeding
steps in to continue or perpetuate the
IMPROVEMENT gained by feeding. Are
not those animals then selected for
breeding stock which, under the system
of feeding bestowed, have shown the
greatest tendency TO development in de-
sirable qualities? The offspring of
these are n2turally good animals, for the
simple reasSn that their parents were
we'll cared for, though they will soon re-
turn to first principles If neglected.

The Sheen or the Dog.

The sheep is the symbol of all that
is useful, friendly. patient and loving
From the lambs of old A bram's flock
to Mary's little lamb of the school
books, his record is untaruished aud
his memory reverred and beloved. A
sheep yields three crops, his mutton,
tries another is added-their milk
but we have got the Jersey COW here
and don't need any better sheep than
she is for the dairy. We could cite a
hundred instances in this country
where a flock of small sheep will pay
yearly over 100 per cent. profit, be-
ing source of enjoyment for the farm
er and his family to kill a lamb now
aud then for the table, and yet this
county Is to be almost cut off from
this remunerative branch of stock
raising by reason of the worthless
dogs.

4 Dairying Country.

There is no reason why Maury
County should uOt become the greatest
dairying country in the world. In
no place on earth has nature given
a peop'e more advantages for dairy
ing than in this favored country.
Climate, soil, grass and running
springs in every valley and nook at
test the truth of this assertion and ap-
peal strongly to us to apply these
natural resources to enhancing on
prosperity.
Many have already taken advantage
of these facts zone of the earliest being
that peerless soldier, Gen. Ewell. to
whose close observation and discrimi-
mating judgment the famous Maury
County Jerseys owe their introduce
ton here. The reputation the Jersey
cattle of Maury County and Middle
Tennessee ell joys abroad is not appre-
ciated by nine-tenths OF our people.
Nearly all records made at the churn
are held by our COWS, while their
fame has extended abroad over all
Europe, and copies Of foreign stock
papers often contain engr4vings of
our cattle. Why, it is absolutely safe
to say that there is a COW mOGeStly
chewing her cud in her owners stall
in Columbia, vino is better known
across the water from court to peas
ants hut than nine-tenths of the
"Senate and House OF Representatives
assembIed"-oT not assembled. This
COW has made over a thousand pounds
of bona tide butter; in year. We say
bona tide butter, not butter fat, white
with hot water, fluffy with too much
heat and porous with go per cent. of
whey, but firm, straw cOlOred mot
golden, for as it was made correctly
and churned right it needed no butter
cOloriug in it, 40 cents per pound
butter-aud how was it done? By
Maury County grass, shade and run
ming water-by enterprise, brains and
Work-and the question naturally
comes home In this shape: If such
results have been accomplished here,
is not this great dairy country; is
not the Jersey cow the special purpose
COW I need to go into this daiTying,
and why should l not enrich my land
and my pocket by taking advantage
of these conditions?

feb13 ON
MARKET REPORT.
HBuSimeSS."

In general review of business for the
past week, there is much over which to
feel encouraged. OF course the wet
weather has operated to great extent
against the development of the full
VOlumn done at this season, but with 1t
all there has been good business done
in all lines. There Is no misfortune but
that is followed by benefits beyond our
expectations. While the wet weather
has retarded farming, and rendered the
rcountry roads almost impossible, still,
in this season of inactivity, there has
been "A sharp advance in corn and cot
ton. These advances came most too
late to be of much benefit TO the farmer,
but it is almost certain that he ill real
ize the benefit of it in the next crop. A
better feeling is gaining ground in the
South, as better price for cotton be-
comes more positive. This IS great
gain of itself, and will act as awonder-
full stimulus TO the tagging Industries
throughout tho land. OF course, Co
lumbia will get her share of the general
prosperity; that Will surely come. One
OF the causes that has frightened money
out of circulation is the collapse of the
thousand and one boOms that have
tiourished in all parts of the
country. So far as we know there is
not another well-develOped, fulfilled ged
boom left anywhere, and the result IS
that values are returning to a reason
able basis, and people are going about
their business in the old way. Another
evidence of a resumption of confidence
is the amount of building which is being
done. Many substantial houses Will be
erected this year, and this is a fact
which is applicable to other cities as
we'll as ours. In the live stock markets
there is not much of interest. Hogs are
selling at from So to S445 at latestquOta-
tiOns. The best selected corn hogs only
bringing $4.45, and doubtful selling as
low as So.
Cattle are low, extra good shipping
oeeves selling at S390@+15. These
prices are scaled on inferior grades.
Sheep are declining as the season
advances, the best fat mutton sheep
selling at $4Gg5 to IS.
Spring lambs are selling at 500 20,
with general sales atT@Sc, with down
ward tendency.
We trust that our market report and
our weekly comments will assist the
farmers in realizing the full value of
their products.

Organization of a lamb Club.

controls 800 spring lambs, besides
others who control nearly as many.
