The .Monstrous Proposition to Mu tiintc old Abbeville County. J: Stock or No Stock? That's tin C Question. ? >. . '.is tnuI Banner: ' h pleasure the people note you J. position on nil questions atl'ecting tin ' public interest. Tiio next question o * i practical reform, soon to be decided pr< 'j or eon, is the fence law, and you an 1 stoutly buttling for it, as well as agains ? I the monstrous proposition to mutilati ' our old county and disfigure it, till i * would never he* recognized as the glori H ous old county it is. The question o H fence or no fence rosolves itself really in 'M to the question of stock or no stock, au< rj I propose to show this by a statement o r facts which cannot be controvert * ed. To those who will exaniim the subject in its general appli cation, who can look beyond sell and the few exceptional cases found un i der every genersd rule, it will be seui * that there is no other single instance o f practical reform that can compare with i . in importance and the necessity for it: I adoption, w e assign uiv iuuuwui, u. r| the grounds of our position : Jj The fencing costs more than tlio stocl f j is worth. TJie fencing of the State befori I tlie war, estimated iu 1855, was, for eacl | period of ten years, 315,000,0110. The vai ti ue of the stocli of the State estimated a 'jthat time was $7,000,000, (seo report l< II General Assembly iu 185(5, bv Oscar M "j Lieber, State Geologist.) Thus wo ox |pende:l double the value of the stock ii: the State?for what? Merely to kooj . them out of the holds. If such was tin I j relative value of the stock to the cost o 1 *' !./? ** .?? u-lton l.nii-nnin, I UUUIU IUV ? i?, ?? ..v .. WIV1I ....... '' ber was at a moderate estimate, ten to out ' now, how absurdly disproportionate i; ! the present value, since the cost of lone' ing remains the same, while one portioi 11 of stock, the hog, has virtually disap peared, and cattle have been reduced t< 11 the lowest possible number. Is it wise is it not simple in a people to keep up ii system on such costly terms, without ' any thing better to recommend it thai, the fact it is "the way our fathers trod.'' In fact will not a continuance of the ok (system result in the destruction of all {stock. We contend that it will. Sucl: I result is already beiug accomplished at ; j rapid rate, no species of property can 01 I will be maintained when its costs is s< far in excess of its value. No one car ' fail to have observed t'ie immense decrease of stock That lias taken place un der the present system, and such de crease is still going on, and will continue i until by the expiration of another hal dozen years we will have no stock, a> well as no fence. It is undeniable ilia leucine is becoming worse and worse. A \ fence fulfilling the requirements of tin | law ear. rarely be found. The few stocl fhat remain are becoming worse also ir r consequence of bad fencing, The result is crops are destroyed and stock are abused | and killed. If it is contended that a com (jpliance with the law would prevent t'n i damage to crop and slock we reply thn the cost of fencing is so grea* compare* | with the value of the end* accomplished 1 j that it would be ruinous, and on that a?* i count the law is becoming obsolete. A j people would not, if they could, con tin lie to observe a law which entails an ex ' 11tense so disproportionate to the value o ' j the end achieved. Again we inuint.iii ! that the present system is an inhuniai 'lone. If it was no; desired to elicet ; change, it is an evident fact xha stocl fare badly under it. They enter upor s the winter's campaign in tolerable eondi i tion, and by the April following it i: > barely p tssiole l>r them to maintain life, if they have not fallen before the wind:'I of March. During the following sprinj, and summer t'ley may regain somewha . only to undergo the losses ol' i<ext win ter. Thus they alternate from lifa t< i death, without profit to their owner i Even the summer pasturage is quit* scant and insufficient, because run ovei and destroyed before the grass has an op, portunity to spring up. On the contrary t within ever\'enclosed plantation are lux . urient flats of grass where stock can Ix . j nauerea wuu ujuso un-.i nniuiv. , fence up the stock and it will be virtual^ [ oe fencing ti?e whole country, and w.'iu a country we would have. It would soot begin to return to its primeval conditioi when its entire surface was covered with cane and oilier nu ' tricious grasses. I would like ti answer some <.f the positions of the op ponents on this important subject, bu cannot now tax your s}.ace further. ] t have viewed it in its general ell'eets, an( i defy any one t-> successfully refute th< i positions taken which I reiterate briefly * That we cannot keep up the present svs tein of fencing because it co>.ts vaslh more than it is worth. Without fencing ? the destruction of stock is unavoidable ' The trcatirfent of stock under the pies cut system is inhumane. The change pro ; posed would increase the growth o !

Plant Pons. j Were our fanner." in the habit of pre-j I paring iheir oat land as well as they do' j tiicir cotton laml, we would led sure that I I the past light harvesting had barely paid 1 j the ex phases oi' preparation; but usually! j tiie out crop is tiirowa in as that much', extra, and making aiueli or little is in a! r majority ol' instance considered as just so! r, much again. Alter a while we will learn j f that this crop deserves more attention, l| , and the more care bestowed upon it the I L. belter it remunerates the farmer. 1 t There may !?t\ however, many of our | , readers who sowed their oats in good', land, and who prepared the land tlior-h omrlilv before sowinir the irrain. Such . j- men lcel that they havo not been repaid . by the light crop just harvested. To all , 1 such men we say, you need not grumble, > f for there is ample time to get a line net i income from that very land if you have 0 time to cultivate it. The recent contin- j . ued rains have prepared the stubble lields , beautifully lor a second crop, and noth- ] 1 ing will pay better now than peas. , The speckled pea. known as the wlioo- , C perwill, and tiie shiney ]>ea will make a t 1 crop if planted by the middle or last of ( s July if it gets seasons in due time after it | s is up. The cow pea will mature if sown ( by the lirstol'.July, and the red stock < : pea will grow an abundance of forage if j \ il does not mature before frost. i 2 Now if the grass is pushing the cotton ] . planter, (and doubtless they all now wish | ; the day was forty-eight hours long,) he j will not have the time to prepare the i stubble land thoroughly before planting ( 11 his peas, and, therefore, must "hit it a 5 , lick and a promise," so he should simply , run scooter furrows about thirty inches . apart, drop four or live peas every foot, I and cover with two scooter furrows. If . the ground is in good season, the crop % will be up and ready for a working before s tlie season is out of the ground. The * . .middles ("hawks") should then lie 1 , broken out by the deep and close plough. ing, and ten days after the crop should be : i carefully hoed. As soon as tiie grass be( gins to show itself after that, two sweep , [ furrows should be run between the rows t of peas. Possibly the crop may need < , three furrows. At any rate, it should be 1 > left clean, for this is the ''laying by" 1 working. If the seasons prove favorable, c [ the growth of the crop will astonish the 1 , planter. L Some farmers prefer sowing peas broad cast. We do not. To sow broadcast re- 1 J quires too much ploughing, just at the < , | time when it is difficult to spare t he teams 1 . | from the summer crops long enough even . i to lay oil" the furrows and cover the seed. ' . | And broadcast sowing will seldom pro- 1 j duee as much forage, and rarely ever as 1 } i many peas as the drilled culture. , I If it is proposed to convert this crop in- ' i j to "roughage," that is, provender for 1 L stock, the vines should bo cut with a 1 ) grass blade just when the lirst peas begin to ripen and before tlie wholeeropis ripe. 1 ! If tiie peas are to be picked, or if the ' | crop is to be given to hogs, the peas ' sluuld not be picked nor the hogs turned 1 oh the crop till the peas are all ripe. If ? the crop is to be turned under as a uta- ' l nuring, the plough should bo started .just , 1 when the bulk ol' the crop is turning yel- j low and beibro the leaves begin to drop 1 1 oil'. Except crab grass nothing is more J L dilli-rult to turn under with a plough than ' . pea vines, and the be^t plough for the . . purpose we have ever u.icd, even on level 1 f land, is the hillside turning plough. , Just how much forage an acre of peas , and pea vines, cultivated as above will t make, we cannot tell, but we believe it ** 11 *? i 11/ ? nmli. i'oim' /*?* nliKr ? ; .....IV. .. . v-.^j W.II.U.UI--..J . . !

All ) men engaged in mercantile pursuits, - even on a small scale, know well the net ceasity of keeping posted in everything I pertaining to their trade, and all with I scarcely an exception, lake and carefully ? read one oi more journals devoted ex. clusively to tiieir branch of business. - They would not do wit tout one, vrcll * knowing that their more enterprising , neighbor would be 'oeneiilcd by sudden changes in market values, of which they - c.oulu have no knowledge. 10very pliysi cian has liis medical journals, lawyers 1 I* have their periodicals, and watch carefult iv the latest decisions of the courts and the enactinents oi' toe Legislatures. In fact, every profession has its periodicals supported by nearly every member ol class which it represents. "By merchants and professional men those periodicals devoted to their interests are considered as indispensable. 15ut with many far i liters me ca.su is quite uumrvusu. Though from tlie very uature uf things farmers generally rc.juiro u more ~ thorough knowledge ol' their surround- | ' ings tli.ni any other profession in or1 der to arrive at the maximum of ] * success, yet very many, indeed, take no : pains whatever to familiarize themselves j with the nature and habits of their most valuable animals and plants, or of their 1 ~ most destructive and tormenting enemies \ s and utterly rel'uso to patronize periodi- ! , eals devoted solely to their interests, and 1 ^ j intended to throw light ui>on the dark | sides of every farmer's life. Many do ! qot even attempt to familiarize themselves with the most ordinary rules of business, or the most common forms of law?and what is ihe result? Is it much to be wondered at lhat many complain of the unprofitableness of their profession, , s or that some arc vic timized by cheats and _ sharpers?

Watering Horses After Eating. i- Tho National Live Stock Journal, in d giving directions for the care of horses (1 says: "Another common fault in the ali1.1 mentation of horses is the leading to wai ter just alter a full feed of grain. The s | lirst effect of this is'to largely distend the e I stomach ; and the result may be as if the n material wore masticated gram ami snnn va. But, should this danger be avoided, 11 matters are not necessarily left in a better i. state. The suclden aiid excessive influx of water is likely to wash much ol' the contents of the stomach into the intestines before the nitrogenous principles I have been digested, and fermentation, >t extrication of gases, over distentions, calif les, and inflammations result. Even this is is net all. The application of an excess <0 of cold water on the mucous membrane i- of the stomach and intestines causes vasi cular congestion and violent muscular s- contractions, so that all tend to digestive disorder of a dangerous nature. Copious draughts of iced water are hurtful alike f- to man and beast. If it must be taken it should be in small quantities only and frequently. But a drink of water of| v moderate*temperature, just after a feed of )r grain, is full of peril to the soliped. ic Thirst should be allayed before the food ,-e is given ; and if any is allowed after, it u should be merely a mouthful, until the .j lapse of one or two hours time has been ftl'i IKHl 1<IJ~ UJ <I1HU311"I1. illll'I il IWU 111 1-1 hay there is comparatively little dangty. | s ; From the excessive salivary addition to ' i the hay, and the comparatively small I oj amount of its albuminoids, these are '! rapidly dissolved out and digested, and the further addition of water is often i- rather favorable than otherwise in hastenre ling its progress into the bowels, where j a | the digestion of its starch, sugar, fat and c, other respiratory elements may be comot pleted. d. ^ if- Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup should he kept e- in everv family.

Wo were rat her.surprised recently, says the Practical Farmer, at a meeting of a prominent fanner's club, composed largely of dairymen, to hear the merits of I>ran as feed quoted ehietly on account of its value as an aperient, and keeping the system in good condition. It was not spoken of at ail as an important milk producer and stimulant of the Iacteal"seercling organs, as it really is. We I)ad thought the value of bran for these latter us'-s was now universally understood in dairy districts. The demand for it is so great that it brings nearly double the price of Indian corn ineal per ton, and we know of no substitute so profitable for milch cows?the reason being that the chemical constituents of bran are those found in milk. We have turned to one of our authorities and find 100 lbs. of bran (the mere hull of wheat,) contains of water 13 lbs., starch, gum and sugar y>, gluten, labumcn and lcgeinen IS, fatty matter 5. An analysis of M. Saussuro makes 100 parts of the ashes of the bran of wheat contain: soluble salts 44.15, earthy phosphates 46.5, silica, 0.5, inetalic oxides O.iio: loss S.5. These results explain the value >f bran, so rich in the elements Of milk mil bones. For growing animals it is inlispensable. Meal, as a fat former, and :o Keep up nutrition, should be combined with bran for the other uses, two parts ->* lirnn fo raw nf Tnrlinn meal homer a rood proportion. For tho same reason, what is called the bran bread, or bread nade from whole wheat, has more nurition for the system than the bread of mro boiled wheat Hour, though it may lot be so fashionable, uiid would be dis -arded entirely by our farm laborers, if <et before them. The Corn Crop. Of all the crops, probably none is o such vast importance to farmers as tho rorn crop, and on no account should it be leirlected. Did you ever know any farmer to fail vhose cribs were filled with corn ? Did you ever know a man to emigrate .vhose cribs were filled with corn?

Did you ever know a planter proud of lirtiselt', loved by his neighbors and hapin* in his family, whose cribs wero not illed with corn?

One of the most important rule.- to be observed is, before taking up a tree, mark it in ?ome manner, so that you will know which is the north side, so"as to be able to reset it in exactly t'i? same position it grow in the woods. This may seem to many of no importance, but to those who know that there is in the bark and wood of id! trees a radical difference between the north and south sides, the north side being close grained and tough, while the south side is invariably more opened grained and brash, or soft, the importance will be seen. If this is done, your tree does not have to undergo a complete fhange in all the parts, and is ready to ntart off and grow at the proper time as readily as though it had uot been moved. Colic Mixtuke.?The following is from an experienced stable man, who considers it the n:ost valuable and successful of all remedies, and worthy to keep always on hand by those who havo valuable horses and mules: Half lluid ounce of chloroform ; half a fluid ounce tincture of clover; half a lluid ounce tincture of asal'oatida; half a pint ol whiskey. These are to be mixed and added to one quurt of water ; then shake well and give one half of the whole mixture for a good dose. The Image of Christ. Tac image of Christ drawn by the pencil of the Spirit, to which Scripiure directs our aims, is painted in sucu colors fiat it is impossible often to comteinplate it without it irrcsistably affecting the heart. As the bodily eye that has looked long at the sun retains a bright image ot it, so the spiritual eye that ga zos steadfastly on tlie face of Christ is lilled wijh light. Wo carry this image with us wherever we go; and it blends with all onr thoughts and actions, it never ceases to bo a study to us, even growing more bright and beautiful as we gaze on it, revealing in contrast, more and more the darkness of our own hearts. I have said it is with us at conversation as it is in spring when the sun melts the the snow in the fields and on the mountain side, but upon the liighesl peaks and in the deepest valley patches: of it still remain. So the rays of the spiritual sun may penetrate our souls, and still there remain in each hear! heights and dephts where yet all is cold and hard. How much must still be melted away, ho is lirst aware who conscientiously' yield himself up to the discipline of Scripture. The longer w< contemplate Christ the more do we dis> cover now iuuiku hum wu ?iv, ?<jv? ouuishnoss has penetrated our inmost nature how poor we are in humility, in love When wo enter this school of discipline it (iocs not seem so. This beholding oui selves in the image of Christ has the ^>e euliarity that whilst wo more and mori [discover the darkness in us, upon us al the while uuconscious it is pouring iu light. Paul has expressed this in a par tieularly rich passage in his loiter to tin Corinthians, lie says, "But wo all witl open face, beholding as in a glass the glo ry of the Lord, are changed into th< Isaiuo image from glory to glory, even hi by the spirit of tlie Lord." A wonderfu rich saying, indeed. Just as when \v< would behold ourselves in a metalic rnir ror, he would say, it spreads over us it own effulgence; so wo Christians look ing with unveiled face at Christ, as int< the mirror of humanity, are adornei with his light, made partakers of hii Spirit, changed as from glory to glory in to the same resplendent image. Mr. ITuon Wilson, ono of tbre brothers well known in press circles diei . in Kdinburg recently. He had followei | the profession of editor for twenty years Thoughts lor Saturday Night. j Hard words mostly flow from soft heads. Ho who livos to no purpose lives to a bail purpose. Ho that despises small things shnllfall | 1 ittlo by little. Severity breeds fear, but roughness _ engenders hate. J Hois the greatest who chooses to do e right at all times. ^ Hotter to give a shilling than lend and lose half a crown. The drunkard has a fool's tongue and a { traitor's heart. All things are in fate, yet all things are not decreed by fate. We may bo as good as we please if wo please to be good. Renrovo thy friend privately, commend him publicly. Riches, though they may roward virtues, cannot cause them. The cultivation o:' the* heart should bo like that of a garden, where wo prune and weed before we begin to plant. Never speak evil of any one. Bo charitable in thought, and give even the ' worst people the benelit of a doubt. The true motive of our actions, like the reed pipes ol" an organ, are usually concealed; but the gilded and hollow 1 pretext is pompously put in the front for show. t Our sight is the most perfect and de- c lightful of all our senses; it fills the mind with the largest variety of ideas, converses with its objects at the greatest j distance, and continues the longest in ac- j tion without being tired or satiated with . its proper enjoyments. f Good threshing. Hugh Robinson threshed four hundred and six bushels on the 23th, and changed his base three times. t Plant peas where your corn has failed t tocorne up; and where the stand is bad it will not be amiss to plant peas on each side of the corn. The. steam threshers west of Level Laud are so thick you can hardly travel for theiu. & MAllKhT UEPORTS. * OREENVILLE, S. C.
