PRACTICAL DAIRYING IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
BY DR. J J MOTT.

[ have accepted the invitation Of the
President OF the N3r.h Carolina Fair
to make some remarks here TO night on
the subject Of Dairy Farming did
so, supposing the character Of the
spec ches would be in the nature Of a
Inning discussion, and am not pre-
pared with an address such as the cub
ject and the occasion demands. But
in confederation of ms desire to aid the
able and self sacrificing President, Gud
comply with his wishes, will not de
cline TO say something, though unused
TO public speaking and 6m without
notes or any written means cf assiet-
ance.
The President, I take it, knowing
that an engsged in the business Of
dairying, naturally expects and desjrss
me to speak from my experience IN it,

in the cLmmUnlty, and the cultivated
land had been run down by continuous
crops, without putting back anything
on the soil. Ny herd Of Jerseys in
creased rapidly, and in c few years I
0ad fifty CT sixty head, which has been
increased at times since to nearly one

stock, and buildings for dalrying pur-
poses. a market was secured for tho
butter produced, and it was sold, ca
year round controc>s, at 25 cents a
pound in this aud adjojnins States.
TIE skinned milk was used for
calves and hogs. Ny plan has been to
keep one hog for each mitch COW, ard
fad that the amount Of milk is suff
cient to keep the hogs much more
healthy and making a more rapid
growth with the same amount Of grain
feed.
Buildings for storing ensiIage haze
been used all the time. and with great
economy in feeding. There is no doubs
about this. The ensilGge keeps up
better flow of milk in winter when
there is no green food, ard winter
dairying, for butter, is much moro
profitable than summer dairying. I
have used in early spring and summer
rye to start with, then clover, and
when clover season was over, followed
il with green corn sowed in drills and
fed about thu tasselipg period, keeping
it s0Wed il small lots at such intervals
as to use uo each lot before it would
get too old and the stalk too hard.
With this plan there has been large
quantities of manure saved and put on
the land, and the land is much i'm
proved and a good portion Of it capable
Of producing large crops.
The advantages of dairy farming are
the better facilities it affords for i'm
proving the land and the continual
money income, whatever it may be,
The cash the dairyman gets out Of his
business comes in by the week or by
the month, and thus he is enabled, with
ready money, to buy what he has TO

LIVE STOCK.
7ALLACY CT POOR BRREDING

1t is said in Wisconsin not one colt
will be dropped this spring where ten
were dropped five years ago. The alb
sence of foals is noticeable al over the
country. This state OF affairs shows
that the shortage Of horses will assert
itself in a year or two. It should not,
however, induce a rush to breed horses
except without the exc rcise of great
care and discretion. Farmers ard
breeders are liable to be misled, and to
think the way to make money is to
jump in ard breed every mare on the
farm regardless of breeding, quality,
style or purpose, 1t will pay right now
to breed all the good mares to good
stations, but there will be no profit in
breeding scrub mares to cheap stallione,
for the product will rot pay the ex-
pense of keep. This country has many
we'll bred stations that are now stand
ing at q low service fee, and these are
the ones to patronize. Mary land

Good laws against noxious weeds are
rarely well enforced. The intelligence
and public spirit of all land owners
should be concentrated upon this ques
ton, and this should be sufficient to
effectuaIly control it. The wild carrot
and the Canada thistle have infested
many a farm because Of the negligence
of these most interested in their sup
preston.

IT DON'T LOOK WELL.

Hitherto it has seemed incumbent upon TnE OASIS to critlcise the neg lect Of the federal and municipal of. iicials at Nogales, Arizona, upon such occasions as that of the recent visit of Governor Corral. Repeatedly have Governor Corral and other prominent gentlemen visited Nogalcs. Always have they been layishly entertained by prominent gentlemen in civil and official life at Nogales, Sonora: but never yet have the people of Nogales, Arizona, done anything to manifest American interest and frlehdliness in the distinguished visitors. This is entirely wrong, and not at all betii- ting the dignity and importance of our city, our commonwealth or our country.
 On occasions like the one closed this week, it is proper for the federal on- cials here to lead off. If they would start, everybody beside would give them a hearty support and contribute liberally. It Is 10 be hoped that as national pride the next op- to do the handsome thing vii be embraced by the Americans in official and business life at N0gales, Arizona

mExIco AND SILVER.

The assertion is frequently made that Mexico coins no gold lt is true in certain sense, but the fact is that the hints of Mexico are open to free coinage of gold and silver at the legal ratio, which is there l6i to l, just as the independent free sllverites propose shall be the case in the United States. Silver being the cheaper metal is coined almost entirely, very little, if any, finding It's way to the hints. And what Is coined is held immediate ly at premium. From the financial column of the Two Republics, news paper published at the City of Mexico, dated the 22nd of July, the following quotations are taken:
 Mexican Gold. I7aso per cent premium.
 American Gold. s;sfs6 per cent. premium
 These quotations are continued daily, aud they are conclusive proof that Mexican coined gold is at pre- mium. equal to the difference in the bullion value of the two metals con taiaed in the dollar. That would be the effect of adoption Of independent free coinage Of silver in the United States. The dollar would be worth no more than the bullion value of the metal contained therein, and imme- diately gold dollars would go to pre- minm.
 And it is fact not generally known that the Republic of Mexico pays the interest Of her debt in gold and ex- poets to pay the principal in the same metal Even though her business is all practically on silver basis and all her revenues are paid her in silver money, she pays her debts in gold. The democratic party proposes that the United States shall violate na- tlonal honor by paying the American public debt in a appreciated coin metal. On the other hand the repub- lican party proposes to compass, by international action, an appreciation of silver to parity with gold the wide world over, before making any part of the debt payable in silver. Can the United States be less solicitous than Mexico of her financial honor?

CANT DO IT ALONE.

Advocates of the free coinage of sil- yer have contended that the gold dOi- lar is at present a 200 cent dollar They are now asked what kind of q dollar the silver dollar will be under free coinage. When silver Is given exactly the same privilege as gold, at the ratio Of l6 tO |. the silver in q sil- yer dollar will be worth just the same as the gold in gold dollar whether it be fifty cents or POO cents. It is inn possible that it should be otherwise.
 Tombstone Prospector.
 Before 1873 it took the united action or Germany, Belgium, Austria, the United States, India and the Latin Union to make equal a silver a;;i.sir asl1..iii and agold dollar at the ratio of l6 to1. To accomplish that fea6 now the united action of ali those nations will be needed. The United States alone cannot equalize the value of the two dollars. That is why the republican party stands for international bi- metallism.

Lost m Love.

Rather a pathetic scene was wit messed in the probate court yesterday when TranquiIino Cuen, wealthy Mexican eattle-grower brought his son Manuel, young man nineteen years of age, and entered charge of insanity against him.
 The boy was a bright, intelligent. broad-browed and sturdy young Mex ican.
 As usual, a woman is blamed in the affair Manuel has been kept in school and college all his life at Guay- mas. While there he fell in love with a charming young Spanish girl. She later triiled wth his affections and proved to be not the spotless angel he had thought. The loss of his iady love has temporarily thrown the young mans mind off its balance, and he sits gloomily for hours, apparently lost in reflection. He was sent to the big Arizona cattle ranch near the Sonora line owned by his father, but time did not improve the condition.
 The father will defray all expenses and has ordered the boy to be allowed all the luxuries the institution can command. [PhGnix Gazette.

PREcEpINa ls19 when bar sil

PRECEDING 1873 when bar silver was quoted at $l.29 per ounce the quota tions in the London market were 6 pence. Independent free coinage of silver by the United States will no doubt restore the price of silver to sl.29 per ounce as expressed in Amer ican money. But will 1t restore the price of 65 pence in the London market? That's the question the sil- yer miner wants to know. Unless it will do so free coinage will benefit him but little, if any International free coinage under the auspices of the re- publican party is the only policy which will do that.
