RAISING BEEF CATTLE. An Avenue ol Profit Opon to tho Farmer? ol South Carolina. When ono look? ovor thc waste places of this State and considers that thousands of cattle and sheep might he raised where now there is not a sheep on a thousand hills, nor a dozen lo rds of beef cattle in tho State, In- sees tito necessity for a re vival. The beef trust is fastened on the people. The price of cut meat is lixed by the trust, which is en? e, uraged by our national legislation. There is no sign of a reduction iii the pri?e. Our people should be ox r. hortcd to raise beef cattle on a largo scale. On the rivers atid abandoned lands of tho State there is ample room for thousands of cat tle. liaising beef or fat cattle is specialty. Tho dairy business, thor oughbred hogs, sheep and horses can not go along with it. The fact is the farmer, who is trying a half dozen ot more specialties at the same time will generally fail. Ile should have a bit bank account, and then ho may get nome fun out of the business. Let him take that one thing for willoh ht ?ind his land are best suited and sti k to it through thick ami thin. If cot ton is his crop, let him plant cotter with only enough small grain, corn and truck to supply the farm, ll" in the dairy business, let him raise dairy cattle and subordinate all his effort* toward getting the best dairy poSsi ble. If ho goes into the fat catth business, lid every crop planted am every house built be to the intOl'CS of betd" cattle. That is tho only wa] to succeed in South Carolina. Tw< years ago a carload of young short horns and grades were sold in Spar t anhing. They were bought bj farmers. I'p to III?H date no spcoin improvement has been reported ii si/.e or quality of cattle. YV. IL Walker, of Union, S. C., ii going int'? the beef cattle business i the right way. His farm is in th lower part of Cherokee county, ex tending froth Piieolol to ll road rivet a mlle ur two above their junotioi Ile has largo bodies of bottom land.' Some of the hills are rugged an I'Ollgh. The Japan clover grow Where it bas a chance. The .Mean or .Johnson grass ts found on th river land-;.

I lo was m altor an all-purpose cow, but ?ne th; would moko only beef and make quick. Last winier he bought sixt or seventy Angus polled cattle, all ? them bein;: nearly pure, and thia bulls and some cows thoroughbred Ile will soon work all his callie ll to tho Angus type. Ile now bas abm loo ainl they are generally in lin condition. Not one han died d tiri ti the summer. These cattle are pur black and without horns, the lattl having a great advantage in shipping I Ie is at no trouble about milking, ft tho cows scarcely afford enough mil lo raise their calves. Kor summer pasture ho depende the present year Oil -lapin clove Johnson grass and nativo grasses. Il bas foui) I Out that lill bushes an sprouts have to be taken from a p.l u?i , for m : i a-?ti \\ ill llourish iti tl shade. Ile has sot twouty.fivc t th iii j oies in Bermuda grass an proposes to increase the nerc.'lj. )argel y. Thc Johnson gr?ss has always bet considered a terror to farmers, bu Mr. Walker likes it. Winne be hi a good si.md ho cleans the land o and sows a bushel or two ol* sorgllll rice 1 lo tho acre with ti cutaway ha row as soon as it will germinal e. I gets two cuttings from tho m ix tu and the hay is fine. Ile thinks 1 made six tons Of dried Rt gnum hay from one aere of swan land that horoto?oro produci d on ?orthnon grass. Ile plants fields BOrghUm near his pasture felice that when gras.) gets short Of co weather approaches ho can cut th and throw it over in the p .store, 1 . considers pe is and HOrghuOl 'ho b< and cheapest feed possible for oattlo. In all hi? corn land he plants or BOWK peas, or will hereafter, and this will give hi? cattle several weeks lino feed after the corn is gathered. The roots anti vines will improve tho,land. Winter pasture is receiving his at tention, for it is necessary to have .4001I pasturage for calves, cows w'th young calves, or oattlo in had Condi tion. I le will try a mixturo of wlie , oats and rye with some oriniSOi. dover. Ile will shelter his cattle in the winter and herd them in lots dur* lng the summer, lie expects to cut down his feitili/er hills and soon do away with purchasing any. Cotton will he an incidental crop and as the manure increases the land will im prove rapidly. Thus Mr. Walker has hut one idea and that is to raiso the liUQSt beef cattle, if he hastohuyhis milk and butler from his neighbors. The next consideration is the gradual improvement of his land. Ile pro poses to attempt nothing that will be in the way of his one object. It may be two or three years before ho baa many for market, for he is now work ing to increase his 'nerd uji to the maximum number for a poor season. There is no reason why ho should not succeed. Ile has the land and tho cattle to start with, ile can use the ordinary labor of the country. There is a constant demand for beef. Should his herd increase so that he would havo to expand somewhat, there aro thousands of acres ?d' cheap land near bim. We shall watch the results of his work with much inter est, for cattle, pea vine hay and sorghum with small grain will greatly enrich our State.-Capt. Charles Petty, in Spurttinhurg Journal.
