DIXIE AND CATTLE.

(From Memphis News Scimitar)
"The South can produce more cat
tie and produce more cheaply than any |
other section of the country, because |
of cheap lands, abundant grasses and I
long pasture seasons, together with in
expensive shelter during the short win
ter months"
This, in brief, is the finding of the de-
partment of agriculture, in it's year
book, Just issued at Washington.
ut is pointed out that during slavery
the South had cattle, hogs and sheep
on every plantation, and some of these
were good beef animals, containing an
infusion Of shorthorn blood. In those
days the South supplied herself with
meat. At the close of the war there
were but few cattle left, and these were
bred among themselves without the
addition of any new blood which re-
suited in a class of native cattle that
was small, slow of growth and of very
low quality of beef. Southern farmers
were discouraged about bringing II
high grade animals from the North
because IS per cent of them died thu

, not understood. With free labor ant

turned their attention to cotton rails
