TJTVE STOCK. STOCK RA1SIKO IN TUE BOOTU. There is a class of meu throughout tho piney woods belt of tho south, who have devoted themselves: to cattlo and sheep raising. Some of their establish ments aro largo, including one to threo thousand cattle, and more sheep. Tho habits of these men aro almost nomadic ; of consequence they live without com forts, and their children grow up with little education. But in Georgia, and probably olsowbero under similar cir cumstances, they have mado money, receiving only gol'1, which is put in a Btockiug'or in' a trunk, and is really of no more nse to the owner than so much gravel. It is by no means proposed to set this mode of agricultural life as an example to the southern people, simply because it is attended with pecuniary profit. The instance is cited to show that under all tho disadvantages of the case, tho only class which has devoted itself to stock raising has made money. Every planter has moro or less livo stock. Formerly a serious attention WSR given to hog raising. It was tho ambition of tho planter to provide IHR own bacon, but rarely any for sale. He liad a few sheep, and, under favorable circumstances a considerable gang of cattle. But tho sheep ho rarely saw unless thoy were brought np to. bo salted, or the remnant ot tho flock ran homo for protection against au incursion of the dogB. The Bheep were sufficient in number to mako him loso his temper when tho dogs killed them, but not suf ficient either in yield of motton or woo), to counterbalance tho annoyance. Cattle were turned out, in the spring generally very poor, gaining flesh slow ly, as tho Reason advanced, saleable at low prices, as grass hoof in the fall. If not sold the hope was to carry them through tho winter, without shelter, their only feed being straw and shuckR, the supply of both being limited. No one can say that Cn i s is an exaggerated picture of the average cattlo and sheep raising in tho cotton states. There are, of course, exceptions. But how many of the planters who read these lines adopt a hotter system with rep ard to their sheep and cattle than the one described? Can this bo called stock raising ? If a land-holder should put his cotton or corn in the ground, let them alone to find their own food, plant roots being able to travel and fiud their own vict uals, plants having enemies as well, and then in tho autumn return to pick the ono and gather tho other, would he be called a planter? Just aa woll as the man should be called a stock-raiser who leaves his stock to shift for themselves. Under thiB treatment of crop we might well say that farming was a failure, as well as stock-raising. Stock-raising is a business and must be followed as a business. Not a solo and soparate busi ness, but as much so as the cotton, corn, and wheat, etc., on a plantation, requir ing caro as regularly, though not of so long daily continuance as tho crops. Growing stock must be attended to, ns well as growing plants. And, when grown, both must bo prepared for mar ket, if we expect to derive a profit from thom. Corn in tho shuck, or cotton in the seed, would bo as little likely to find sale in a distant market as half fat cattle or sheep. Tustead of preparing our stock for market in the winter, they lose in the winter what they have gained in the snmmor and autumn-it is a a Penelope's web, lasting very often the natural life of tho poor animal. When ho is in fair order in the summer, he cannot bo sold, for fresh meat isa drug. When ho would bring a good price in market, bo is too poor to eat or sell. Besides tho want of habitual attontion, thiB offering of live stook for sale at the wrong season of the year, in consequence of their poverty in tho winter, is a ma terial cause of tho failure to mako live stock remunerative at tho south. There is nothing in tho soil, climate, product*?, and nt certain seasons of tho ye ir, markets of the south, to render livo stock unprofitable. The difficulty is in their treatment by ns and our having them partially ready for market at the wrong time. Every winter oar loads, almost with out number, of cattle, Bheop, and bogs, are brought by rail from Kentucky and Tennessee. These animals are fed upon land often reaching two hundred dollars per acre. It in true that anim?is re quiring corn to fatten them can bo raised cheaper at th? west than at the south. But it is also true that animals which do not require corn to fatten them, as cattle and sheep, can bo raised _with--'increased f^nomy and pr?hYns we go southward. Every really thrifty larmer will raise his own colts, pnbstituting oats for corn. While pork cannot be raised for salo at the south, it can be raised in sufficient quantity for homo consumption. Wherever clover will grow, it reqnires, with tho aid of peas, but little corn to tatton ho?s. On thiB farm there a ?oven Berkshire shoats, weighing about one hundred pounds each, all of them fat cnongh for tho knife, that have had no other food than that which they get in a olover lot of threo quarters of an aero, since the middle of April, and will receive no other food until October, when tho pea field is open. There is scarcely a farm in thc south where the soil has a clay foundation and is made sufficiently rich, whoro the same thing cannot bo done. One acre of rich land in clover will keep in first rate growing order ten hogH, that will make two hundred to two hundred and fifty pounds of pork each from tho middle of April to tho middlo of October. This will supply the market for a large family. Tho hogs must not be put, on the clover before it begins to blossom, nor alter cold weather begins, as tho roots ht c mic sweet, and they will de stroy it. Sows with pigs, if put upon clover, must have some corn. *. Where the soil is low and damp, it is unsuited for sheep. Drv, rolling wandy land makes tho best pasture. Fall oats or rye make the cheapest winter feed where tho perennial grasses aro not found. Win re tho object is to fatten mutton in February or March for mar ket, tho turnip or sweet potato, tho former folded, tho latter sliced with a root slicer, with hay or pea vines an swers and exoellont purpose Turnips*. aloBo will not fa*??n sheep for tho Trntcher, they will hew them in good order, but somo dr&?ood is necessary in addition ; whe? n tilt sheep is spoken of in this article, tho word is need in tho sumo sense ?8 when wo speak of a fat hog whose sides shake. Tho perfection of a cattlo farm would 'bo a sutlieent amount of cano, or swamp lands on which thc natural winter grasses grow, also a sufficient amount of upland well set in Bermuda grass. Tho cattle penned every night on ground designed to provide winter food for fattening them. Three year old steers and hoifors raised in this way, taken from tho swamp in January, well sheltered and fod with turnips, potatoes, pea vines, straw or hay, would no ready for tho butcher in March, and bring a handsome price. Under this treatmout, tho swamj) or cano brake becomes n Chincha island to the farmer who knows what to do with it. If money cannot bo made by cattlo raising npou a farm so situated, nuder judicious manage ment, then it cannot bo made by this branch of farming in any country. Nothing is said of tho dairy, because of tho uncertainty cf obtaining good and reliable milkers. If this desidera tum could be steadily supplied, tho dairy would bo a source of great profit. In 18G0, tho butter crop of the state of New York sold for more money than the cotton crop of the state of Georgia, which was tho largest ever mide in that state. Thin is one of tho ih partments of agriculture in which wo must rely for aid on foreign skilled labor-Bmall farmers owning their own lauds, and managing the dairy within themselves and their frtuilies. lt must R Jt be forgotten that in suc cessful stock raising, tho judicious man agement and husbandry of the manure is a vital point. Commeroial fertilisers are in certain aspects n necessity. If tho largo cotton planter, could save one half of his annual expenditures for fer tilizers, by devoting a portion of his timo to live Btock, it wonld be a great gain to himself and his laud. A striking instance of the value of this kind of manuring is found on this farm. Reference is made to the crop of six acres of turnips, fed off by sheep, which was tho subject of a statement by tho commissioner of agriculturo of Georgia, in tho Rural Carolinian last winter. Tho srroeess of the experiment was entire. Enough of the turnips was sold to amount to upwards of two hun dred dollarH, amt sufficient were loft to feed a flock of Merino sheep, upwards of oue hundred in number. Tho ground is now in cotton, corn, and one and one quarter acre in onions. It is perfectly rich and clean, and the growing crops promise beautifully. Tho enrichment of those acres cost tho writor nothing, in fact it was thrown in. They will be sowed with oats in September, and in February with clover on the oats. After wards a judicious rotation for a term of years will yield heavy crops without improvement or necessity of manure. C. W. Howard, in Rural Carolinian. SnORT-HORN OATTTJE. In an interview with Mr. Wm. Curtis, a hoted short-horn breeder of Michigan, the inquiry was propounded to him, why is it yon prefer tho snort-horn, Mr. Curtis, to any other breed of cattlo? Well, sir, ho said, 1 can very soon answer that queeMon. Because there is more profit in th? ii ; there is moro of them, you can get more out of them. The calves and young stock bring more monoy ; they take on fle?h faster. Thc cows give rich milk and the butter is rich. I know this, for I have tried short-horns for years. Thc}' havo nc superior for bocd. They make good working oxen. They combine more good qualities than any other breed of cattle. They cannot bo improved by crossing with any other breed. Cross a short-horn cow with a Devon or Ayrshire or Jersey bull, and you lose size. But the short-horn improves everything it touohes. It is tho best-known breed for improving native stock, and foi Uns purpose alono thev are invaluable. They are kind and gentle, easily handled, good breeders and good mothers, heart feeders, aud I prefer them to any othei breed They all have their good points, but tho short-horns, iii my opinion, have the most best points. HOW TO ITALIANIZE YOUR HEES. To Italianize your bees safely and iii the most profitable way, you must send for a good Italian queen to introduce in tho strongest colony of your apiary. As soon as the now queen has arrived, take another empty hive of the same sizo, without bees, and insert n division board so that you will nave on your left a little room in tho hive for four frames. Now take from the colony which shall have tho now queen, two combs with plenty of sealod brood. On ono of these combs cago tho new queen and brinp Uer with tho second brood-comb and ali adhering beos, but without tho old queon, in that little room, and give still two other combs containing only honey, The other brood-combs of tho colonj transferred with the old queen and beet in that room < 1 your right hand, close the hivo ant* then set it on the oh: stand. After two or three days confino ment of the new rjueen tako ont tbe twe combs from tho little room at your lefl hand, cut out overy queen cell, and se! at liberty tho new queon. Tho bees o: this little colony will do hor no harm, from thin limo yon will havo two queem in cr.." l,ive, and each queen will till the cells with eggs in proportion to the number of her worker-boes in her room After some days, nt your leisure, yoi may hunt out tho old queen in tin strong colony. This done, yon wil open ?orno passage of tho division hoare cut in it, and closed before you bav< inserted it. Having opened tho pas sages, the strong colony will not built queen cells, and HO becomo acquainlee with cadi other. After ono day or tw( you remove tho division board, fill u] its placo wit h a comb from tho room a your left hand, sud you have, safely am in the most profitable way, a new queei to a strong colony. in the same way 1 have described you will divide a small colony early ii tho spring, we will sny at the close o April or at the beginning of May, ns th? weather is favorable and the colonie aro sufficiently strong. Give the littl< colony brood-combs with sealed brooi abd eggs and lar Vie, ami let it. rear i queen. (To givo it a queen cell woiih bo of great advantage. ) Do this curb that you moy have a fertile quoui ii that littlo colony. . To make an artificial swarm, procee< hs follows : Hunt ont the queen of tin littlo colony as soon as she lias laitl he lir.'.t. eggs, cago her and bring her, witl Bomo now brood-combs, in a now bivi of the same si'/c. rcmovo tho obi stool from its place and bring tho now ones J with tho young queen on the old stand. '! After two or three days, in tho oveniug, rolcaso the young queen, nnd you will"' have n strong swarm. Tho old stock.. you may remove to any place you like. : As the old colony has a fertilo queen it. will increase. Do not forget to give it some water in a sponge, at tho entrance, duriug tho ?*-st two or throe days after t you have the artificial swarm.-Corres pondencc National Agriculturist. J Tun Vermont Farmer says farmer? i, must not expect to got rich in a day- < They, li ko other1?, need more of the old- j fashioned patience that "learns to labor ( and to wait." Tho most calamitous of . all tho results of tho war of the rabel? lion-more deplorable than all the Ibas of lifo and a groater burden than bhe nationnl debt-is the impatience of 9tsf% j moderate and wholesome ways of ma':- j iug money and of living. There is ts . disposition to got rich in a couple off J yenrs, a chafing and uneasiness iu amy ?j business whioh doeB not give speedy^ aud largo returns. Speculative invcotj meuts aro sought in farming. Farmers shift their stock, and change all thobr plans to take up that which is ou tlie j top wave of success. Now, betweeci ! the old, stupid, obstinate ways, which- ; conceded the value of no improvement, j and the modern reckless grasping for a : phantom, there is a middlo ground, which opens wide the door for improve ment, and holds abundant promise for ; success. It is the path which loads by through culturo to a higher produc tiveness of tho soil, and a larger digest ivo capacity of tho animals whi<*.h cou- j sume the crops. That this kine of farming pays is susceptible of proof. WORKING TRAMS IN TUE Coon OP TUE: DAY.-A writer in tho Country Gent?o mau says that ho\rooks prairie soil as? ! follows : ** Tho sod is in splendid con dition, the grass well forward, render ing the labor of teams comparatively . light. Indeed, my cattle scorn to bear j the toil on grass alono far hotter than I ; could expect. I am trying an exper- ; imeut with my breaking this Benson, in order to avoid tho excessive heat of i mid day. My cattle are at wor.'i as . Boon as it is light enough to soo. They work steadily till 10 a. m.; alf then j turned out until 1 p. m. ; and worked, fujui that time ns long as I can eoe. One week's trial convinces me that 1 can thus do moro work, without danger of hurting my cattle, than to wait till 7 a. m., and work through the heat of tho da}'.

Coalition-All f.xtriiBloii Si III ni-. The executive committee of the na- ; tionnl grange have spent considerable time in receiving and considering tho I proposition of the English co operators for a union for commercial purposes of tho two bodies. Tho co-operators are represented by TIIOB. B. Worrnll, of. Manchester, England, who is th i man aging director of tho company which ia proposed as the bond of union. Tho British co-operative societies aro not ; secret bodies ; hence it will bo impossi ble under existing circumstances for ? them to unite with the patrons, bnt this difliculty has been met by the for mation of a trading company having tho i indorsement and support of tho united ! co-operative bodies in England, and j fully organized nuder the Euglish laws, j Tho propositions are to have two ' branches of tho society, one in Englanl ,i und tho other in tho United States. Tho board in each country is to have? the absolute control of tho fnnds BUD- j scribod therein, and all to bo used for the purpose of the international ex change of commodities. The capital is ??25,000,000. All transactions aro to be for cash or its equivalent. The British co-opera tors number 500,000 ; have over ono thousand stores, some fifty or sixty cot ton sr inning mills, about twenty flour ing mills, au agricultural and horticul tural society, and a number of manu factories, aud, of conrso, consume a largo quantity of American products. Tho funds subscribed by tho English brauob of tho company will be employed in the purchase of ships, ibo erec tion of warehouses, and tho manu facture of such articles as aro in constant demand among the patrons of husbnndry. These ships will bring tho goods to New Orleans and other eouth eru ports, and to eastorn ports if neces sary, oud they desire tho patrons to i employ their portion of tho capital in carrying American staples and products to moot these fillips, and thus to make tho necessary exchange in the most direct and Bimple manner. Tho co operators have a Iorgo surplus capital,. which is constantly on the increase, and which they think can bo profitably em ployed io this trade. "Whilo each branch of the company will have control of its own affairs tho two boards will form n council, who will by joint action decido what brancher, of business will be engaged in, and doline tho method of conducting tho same. An American will be sent to Liverpool to watch the interests of tho grange branch of the comppny, and tho Eng lish board will havo a liko representa tive in New Orleans, whilo tho general supervision will bo in tho hands of a managing director, already elected, and who, though an Englishman horn, has been twenty-three years in America. The proposition is rogorded with ?rent favor, and it is expected tho sub com mittee of the national prange, to whom tho whole matter has bo JU referred, will report Monday. Tho executive committee determined ko send throe of their number, vi/..: Messrs. Shankland, of Iowa ; Chase, of Now Hampshire ; and Jones, of Arkan sas, to ?epresent tho patrons of hus bandry in tho cotton states congress, which meets in Raleigh, N.

Tlie Timm Ilnril All Over the Wot lil But * Wain ot Currency ls ??t ?no Cnuso. Tribuno, July C. There in no port of the commercial j world where thcro is not at the present timo moro or lesa complaint of dull times. These dull times are accounted for in various ways, but the main cause of them, iuour opinion, is tho oloso inter I dependence among commorcial nations. ; Take England for an example. Let us I admit that she is the richest of nations, amply supplied with capital for her own uses, and having extensivo productive investments in all other countries. Grant that her commercial system ?B perfect and still we shall find that tho power of her capital and the advantages of her colossal trade have their limita tions. She cannot sell to those who aro too poor to buy. Sui) cannot transgress tho laws which regulate commercial credit without suffering for it. With abondant harvests and cheap food for her trade languishes and every wound inflicted on the nations with which she trades is transmitted to her nerves ns by an electrio shock. If dull times taught no other lesson than the unity of tho modern commercial world they would not bo without considerable com pensations. There ?B another way of accounting for hard times, which was acoepted as tho true theory by the majority in both houses of the last congress. Those gentlemon would persuade us that tho wholo trouble comes from tho scarcity of money. Wo beg to refer theso gen tlemen to tho financial condition of England, Franco and tho United States at this very time, as a practical demon stration that scaroity of money has nothing to do with the universal dull ncBS of trade. Wo point to tho re markable fact, that in each of tho conn tries named unemployed money is ex traordinary abundant. Finally, wo in vite attention to tho circumstance that all this money in England, France and America is offered tho public on tho usual conditions which govern bank loans and discounts at very moderate ratoB of interest. In Frauo9 tho rate for over a year has boen only four per cent, and in London for more than four months tho discount rate has remained fixed at three and a half. Does this show that tho business world is sn der ing for want of a circulating medium, either gold or paper ? Postal Points. Tho law went into effect Thursday placing tho fecB on domestic money orders as follows: On orders not exceeding 815,10 cents. On orders over ?15 and not exceeding S-'IO, 15 cents. On orders over ?.'30 and not exceeding 810, 20 centB. On orders over $40 and not exceeding SG0, 25 couta. PoBtage on printed matter and mer chandise, ono cent for every ouuee, or fraction thereof, np to four pounds. The feo for registering h tters will shortly be increased from eight to ten cents, in addition to the regular post age. Postage on letters to Great Britain, Germany. Sweden, Spanish possessions, Switzerland, Turkey, It dy and Den mark, has beon reduced to a regular standard rate of five cents to every half ounce or fraction thereof. By remembering these points, those who have business nt the postoffico will save themselves and the clerks much trouble and annoyance, A FA OT worth remembering-Five coat? worth of Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders given to a horHO twice a wook, will Bavo double that amount in grain, ana tho homo will bo fatter, aleokor, and oven' way worth moro nionoy than though ho did not iiuvo thom. _ MARRIED ladies, under all circum HtBiicoH, will lind Panons' Purgativo Pilla safe: and. in uniall (IOBCH, a mild cathartic They caiiHO no griping pains or cramp.
