OUR CONVICTS.
EDITOR News;

A question which has been agita.
ting the people of Tennessee for
some time, near particularly the peo-
pie themselves, is how to dispose of
the convicts so that they will not III
any way conflict with free labor.
One Of the best ways that | can see
would he TO turn them loose on the
public roads and let US have some
decent highways. In other words,
give them stone hammers and set
them to breaking rock, and let US
have some roads with good rock bot
toms, instead of quagmlres, Such q
course would ensure US good roads
that could be guaranteed to last a
decade at least. 1t is proposed that
each county should have sole charge
of its own convicts and work them
in this way.
In case there is an insutficiency of
convictS in any county to work the
roads properly, let them have
have the power to receive as much
Of the oyerplus Of other counties of
the State as they mgy need, under
condition of being responsible for
them as long as their sentence may
run or the terms of the contract
may agree,
For their safe conduct appoint
such guards as may be necessary, and
by no means neglect the bali and
chain, Crimes which deserve the
penitentiary are not worthy of amy
consideration aud those who commit
them should be treated only as they
deserve. But there are many cases
beyond dou, t which do not de
serve the peni entlary or even th'
common Jail, for in this State th'

from tEat of the COW. The average
daily yield of a well-kept goat is
said to be three pints, not a large
quantity, but item not to be despls-
ed, in view of it's richness, the cost of
keeping the animal and the small
size of it.
Herds Of goats in this country
would not only utilize much of the
heritage which now goes to waste,
but might also develop some profit
aOle industries which have not yet
been acclimated here. The manu-
facturer of fancy cheeses in imitation
of expensive foreign varieties III
some cases has been SO successful
that the domestic product sells on It's
own name and merits. In other cas-
es, such as Roquefort, the results
have not been satisfactory. Methods

much to do with it Many of the
finest European cheeses are made
from goats milk, while the Ameri-
can attempts to rival them with cows

doubtless creamerles making fancy
cheese would arrange to consume all
that could be had, and the goats
would prove a source of wealth, both

The Despised Goat.

The goat has not had affair show
in modern times. Among the an
clients he was highly esteemed and
figured extensively in serious litera-
ture. Now he IS only the butt of
funny photographers, whose acquaint-
ance with him is confined to a tradi-
ton that he eats tomato cans on the
Harlem rocks, The children of Is
rael and the heroes of Homer knew
him better. The Old Testament
shows the goat as an essential part of
the Hebrews focks, 1t gave him
meat and drink for food, hair and
skins for clothing, and was his most
common sacrifice for sin. Enc9mp-
ed before the walls Of Troy, Ulysses
and his comrades RECALLED themselves
with the fat goats roasted hind quar-
tiers, and thought themselves especi-
ally blessed Of the gods. But
we of the Western world have come
to desplse the goat as the ''poOI mans
COW" a useful enough animal for the
mountaineers of the Alps Or the
squatter sovereigns of unsavory sub
urbs, but an inferior creature not
worth the notice of the free handed
owner of broad American acres, pos
SeSsed of Jerseys, Merlnos and blood
ed trotters, and above the utilization
OF brush lot or stony pasture.
Some American farmers, however,
are coming to realize that the goat
may be made one Of their valuable
domestic animals, not merely pow

but an addition to the farm commun.

Missouri farmer writes to an agricul

and bushes. He has had them fou
years, and they have destroyed TIN
bushes, sumach and small perSim
mon trees,
His hogs have been free from dis
ease, while his nelghbors, who di'
not keep goats, lost the most of thei
hogs by cholera. He ate the meat q
the young goats, and liked it bette
than mutton. His experience coin
cides with that of farmers in cOun
tries where the goat is extensivel
raised and priced. England is nr
among them, owing partly to ther
being comparatively little waste Ian
