RAISES HIS OWN STOCK.

Washington Chronicle: Mr.. r. L. Reese
is one of the most prosperous farmers of
Wilkes, a county which abounds in farm
ers Of his kind, but afords none better
than he is. This county seems peculiarly
adapted for agricultural pursuits that are
followed after his plan. He is a most
unostentious citizen, and was by no means
boagtful when he casually remarked to us
few days ago that he raises his own
horses and mules, finds 1t pays to do so,
and says he has more hardy and satisfac-
tory stock than the kind that are bought
here from farther north. He says he
hardly misses the feed il takes to raise
a colt and in few years he has one
which il would cost him one or two hum
dred dollars to buy. He pursues this plan
in all of his farming operations, not buy
ing anything that he needs on his farm
If he can raise ii there. The consequence
is that ne has an abundance Of everything
a bout him, and does not have to wear
his life away worrying about the price OF
cotton He follows the plan of diversified
farming and does not risk everything on
the outcome Of any one crop.
