Another Excitement.

BY the publication of an article on Lon

lies, Lady Charles Beresford. wife Of
The eminent naval commander. has again
demonstrated her skill in stirring UP
row. London society has never taken
very kindly to Lady Charles. for several
reasons. the principal one or which prob
ably IS that she has unusually sharp
tongue and is a person OF unusual inde-
pendence of character. The article has
created a perfect storm in Mayfair. Her
previous literary venture was very much
in the same line. No publisher for IL
could be found, and il was circulated
in London in the shape OF a type-written
pamphlet. IL related. under the most
transparent Of pseudonyms, the incidents

have been the fact that her husband

Beresfords remarkable beauty and ciey-

cenaneous collection the mother may at
Christmas time or on birthday add some
really good pictures. which viii give an
artistic tone to the whole room and will
educate the taste of the young occupant
in the love of true beauty.

water is pure and cool during sum-
mer and is inexhaustible-pure free
stone, our climate is mild and genial
neither the scorching rays of torrid
sun, nor the freezing blasts of north
ern winds, destroy the labor of the
husbandman. No season is too
warm to work in the open air, and
none SO cold that the farmer is kept
within doors for weeks at time.
SHEEP HUsBANDRY.
Sheep husbandry for market has
never claimed the attention of our
people, but every farmer of any
prominence owned from fifty to one
hundred head for family use, for
wool and mutton. These sheep run
through the woods at large and re-
cieved no attention froui their own
ers, except to salt them and clip the
wool from them. As to feed, they
made their own living or the COM
mon range, where the wild grasses
grow thick and are never exhausted
by heat, drouth. or the many thoas.
ana stock which feed there. From
the middle of March until the first
of December. the old fields furnish
the finest of pastures. Sheep are
perfectly free from disease here.
None have to be dipped for scab or
ticks. This is truly the home of the
sheep, mono better. The price of
common sheep is from 81 so to 81
the carcass weighing from go to 80
pounds. A cross direct of Cotswold
or Soutbdown and natives gives
largo carcass and a great quantity
of wool. This cross on the native
sheep we can produce breed of
sheep healthier and better suited to
our climate soil and pasturage than
any of the improved breeds. Tho
half bloods are worth double their
dams. Sheep raising offers source oil
profit unsurpassed in any State,
All breeds can be raised in perfect
health, almost without feed and care
and the yield of wool is of fine quail
ity. The raising of lambs for early
markets of tho North and west, o.
itself alone opens up aew and re,
muneralive field ofpursuit.
STOCK RA' SING AND DAIRYING.
Cattle like sheep do we'll here, ma
tive cows sell from So to Is dollars
per head and weigh from $50 TO 500
lbs neat. The Jersey and short
horn thrive in our climate and pro
duce large quantities of purest gol-
den yellow butter of the finest fla
vor. The celebrated blue grass re-
g,ons of KY. cannot excel it. The
large quantities of root crops and
various kinds of forage raised and
the large flow Of pure sweet water
offer great inducement to dairying
industries as the demand for butter
TO supply our markets is always
good.
RAISING or HOGS.
This is an industry that is sadly
neglected. that of raising pork for
market. Tho hog is neglected and
allowed to run loose in the woods
and mako their living from nuts,
acorns, wild berries etc. It is not
an uncommon thing to take hogs
from the wooos and after beng
dressed will weigh from 200 to 25O
Bpounds. Hogs can be raised in this
county at verv little expense of fecd-
ing corn. Sweet potatoes and stock
peas can be raised 1t very little OK
pense and labor and by turning tho
