AMERICAN BEEF IN ENGLAND

The Chelsea butcher eyed me
shrewdly.

of it's feeding to the hogs, which
NAV then be turned. into it in a
similar manner. The hogs will
devour the sweet corn, stalk, ear
and all. After the corn is gone a
field of early sorghum may come
into play, which the hogs will
eagerly consume in the same way.
By the time this is finished the
season will be SO advanced that
the adjacent fields of ordinary corn
and COW peas will be ready for
consumption and the change of
diet will sufficiently whet the ap-
petites of the pigs to lead them to
consume the whole of the feed
thus offered to them. By this
time, which will be late in the fall,
the sweet potato patch may be
ready, on which the hogs will ht-
ten themselves until ready. for
market.
This succession Of forage crops
can readily be avsiled of in any of
the Gulf States and with a little
judgment, pork can be produced
in this way more cheaply than in
any of the other states of the
Union. The hogs can thus be
made to harvest their own crops
and to utilize crops which grow
very prolifically in the soil of our
Gulf States. In this statement of
the case we have made no refer
ence to alfalfa, which fourishes in
our alluvial lands and which as a
forage plant, makes almost COM
plete ration for feeding hogs. In
fact, Mr.. w. l.. Foster, of Shreve-
port, at a recent annual meeting of
the Louisiana State Agricultural
Society, said that single acre of
alfalfa grown in the valley of the
Red river would produce 5000
pounds of pork in a single year.
A few acres in alfalfa might make
satisfactory addition to the sue
cession of crops that we have re-
cited whereon the hogs could Craze
shout d there be any miss in the
calculation as to the growth of the
various crops referred to.
We presume that in time we
shall begin to learn the great mo-
ney value of our soil and climate,
but thus far neither we nor others
seem to appreciate it.

Forage Crops For Hogs.
The Southern Farmer.

Inc oOutnern FARMER.
The Gulf States generally, and
Louisiaan in particular, are a very
paradise for growing hogs. Many
persons seem to think that hogs
should be kept in confinement and
fed the year around, whereas the
truth is, they can be grown more
successfully and more economical
ly if granted larger liberty in am
pie pasture or forage fields.
DR.. Stubs, director of the Lou
isians State Experiment Station,
has discussed this matter at vari-
Gus times and has brought out
very clearly the advantages that
Louisiana possesses in this direc-
ton. His sequence of forage crops
for hogs is about as follows: Rust
proof oats, planted in October,
will ripen early in May. If the
hogs are turned upon these in
small areas at time their feeding
can be SO arranged that by the
time the oats are all consumed an
adjacent field of sweet corn will
be sufficiently advanced to permit

out of 100000, or approaching
to one-third of our whole popula-
ton, composed of men not simply
of alien birth, but of alien and in
ferior races. The United States

Samuel J. Tilden, referring to

which aimed at the annexation of
the whole of Mexico, especially
condemned it because it would
have brought into our Union a
large alien population, composed
of mixed and inferior races. This

IIIustriOus Democrats and Statesmen
on the Policy of Annexation.

| on the Policy OF AHHcAdtIOn.
George Washington, in his fare
we'll address to the American peo-
pie, said:
"The great rule of conduct for
US ip regard to foreign nations is,
in extending our commercial rela-
tions to have with them as little
political connection as possible.
So far as we have already formed
engagements, let them be fulfill
ed with perfect good faith. Here
let us stop. =.
Europe has a set of primary
interests which to us have none or
a very remote relation. Hence
she must be engaged in frequent
controversies, the causes of which
are essentially foreign to our con-
Germs. Hence, therefore, it must
be unwise in us to implicate our
selves by artificial ties in the Or
binary vicissitudes of her politics
or the ordinary com binations and
collisions of her friendships or en-
mites.
sour detached and distant stu
alton invites and enables us to
pursue a different course. If we
remain one people, under an eff
cient government. the period is
not far off when we may defy ma
terial injury from external annoy
ance; when we may take such an
attitude as will cause the neutra-
lily we may at any time resolve
upon to be scrupulously respected;
when belligerent nations, under
the impossibility of making &C.
QUESTIONS upon us, will not legal
ly hazard the giving us provoca-
ton; when We may choose peace
or war as our interest, guided by
justice, shall counsel.
"Why forego the advantages of
SO peculiar a situation? Why quit
our own to stand upon foreign
ground? Why, by Intervening
our destiny with that part of Eu-
rope, entangle our peace and pros
perity in the tolls of European
ambition. rivalship, interest, hu-
NOR, or caprice?"
In his first inaugural address
Thomas Jefferson said:
Equal and exact justice to all
men of whatever state or persua-
sion, religious or political-peace,
commerce and honest friendship
with all nations, entangling an
alliance with none"
President Garfield said:
II trust we have seen the last of
annexation, and in this remark I
include the whole group of West
India Islands, and the whole of
the Mexican territory contiguous
to the United States, inhabited as
it is by a portion of the Latin
races, strangely mixed, and. de-
generated by their mixture, with
the native races-a population and
a territory that naturally enfee-
bles man, and population and
territory that 1 earnestly hope
may never be made an integral

entrance of the harbor of San Juan de
