AGRIGUL'hJURAL DEPARTMENt. Raising LIvetock In a__private letter, Vice-President. . H. Wilson of North Carolina, tbus pxpressos himself: "I hate 'Just the December Cultivator and glanced over it some. It is as bright and en tertaitlig as ever. Mr. "illmatl, of Iamburgi 8. C., Is about correct when r says (e salvation of farming with us gonsists in raising livestock to improve dur lands. My plan is to feed upabout everything rafsed on the except flour and cottdtt; thits making cattle to sell and imliroving tle land with their manut:e. And I intend to follow this plan right along regardless of every thing. This will make our farms pay and keep us well supplied with pro visions at the same time. Nearly all enlightened farmers do this, and the poor Southerner, with his all-cotton and gullled-soil is about the chief ex ception. Necessity is the only thing which will over drive him into a bet ter system. Other and good plans for improving land have been suggested in the pages of the Cultivator, but how few will avail themselves of them. Poverty is the cry of the cotton planter and this will continue until he learns to improve his methods. A small majority are simply in the hands of others and are greater slaves than the negroes were in ante bellam days. It won't do to tell your neighbors so: they will fight you; but it is true nev ertheless." IIard Times and Book Farming. It has always been the fashion among a large class of our Canadian farmers to decry "book farming" as being al together the op.osite of practical farm ing. The farmer who year after year blunders along in a hap-hazard sort of way, making up in a great measure by plodding industry what he lacks in intelligence, is pointed to as the prac tical farmer, while the man who goes about his work like a rational being and insists on thoroughly understand ing it is called the "book farmer." Now it often happens that for the first few years of the careers of the two farmers of these widely differing types the so called "book farmer" appears to have considerably the worst of it. They are on new farms perhaps, and as the soil is of apparently inexhausti bly fertility the one's care in saving manure is to all appearances thrown away, though of course it tells in the long run. In the meantime the "prac tical man is skin1nn his fa-nt and put ting the proceeds into his pocket in the shape of dollars. And in the mat ter of stock "book farmer" is spending his money in laying the foundation of a well-bred herd of cattle and valuable flock of sheep, while the "practical farmer" is contenting himself with "scrubs" that cost him a mere trifle. To all appearances the latter hits much the best of it, but. any one who visits them ten years after their start in life will see that while the "book farmer" has been laying deep and sure founda tions of a prosperous career, the so called "practical" farmer has been ab sorbing his resources in making a mere show of prosperity. .'he present season of unexampled agricultural depression in ingland has shown the value of "brains" to the ftrmer. Times are so hard that it is only wvhat we arc pleased to call "book farme:-s" who can succeed at all. Every poundI( of miannre has to be save(t, anId every toot of land made the mCost of, so that it is easy to see hmow gmIlckly the so-callgd ''practical farm er'' would be0 lefl out in the cold in the p)ursuit based1 on such accurate cal culatio,ns as to the cause and effect.

'Thi Short Horns are tho best for beef, ant the Devons are the best for work ani mals and Is said that the Holsteins an equally as good as the Jerseys for but ter, also good for beef as well as fol work. So if our cattlemen would di versify, some breed Jerseys sonu Durhams, some Devons and sonl Eolsteins, and by crossing our coin niol. breeds with the dif'erent bloodec varieties we would, Ilo doubt, fron s ch crossing raise valuable stock, a yet unknown to the country. "Every cross will mark an improve mient, and if all would engage in thi good work and leave no stragglers it the rear, the whole body of colnmoi stock would, in a few years, be brough very close to the rough bred standlarc of merit," and so with hogs and sheep My favorite cattle have always beef the Devons; they are docile and gen tie, good as milkers, good for beef and fine work cattle either for th, wagon or for plowing, and they wil do as much, or more plowing, thai any horses or mules when put t heavy plow, and they stand mor fatigue than any other oxen. The are an animal whose value is no known and appreciated by Southeri farmers. Next to the Devons th H1olsteins are highly valued for mill and butter; some rate them full witl the Jerseys. We make this erro South; we do not keep enough stocl on our farms. The Northern farne keeps as many stock onl his farm as hi he can possibly maintain, while th Southern farmer keeps as few as I possibly can get along with, hence di versified fat'ming is so little though of with us, the old Dutch naxim w ertirely ignore, "no grass, no stock no stock, n1o manure, and no manur< no crops." Stock raising and poultrl raising should constitute a large por tion of our farming income; this all cotton business is like carrying all ou1 eggs in one basket. A full barn o corn and oats and hay and fodder hai muph to do in developing stock. have seen our common range cowi bought for $15 and $20 and whei properly cared for and well fed makc two or three gallon milkers and aftei a year of good treat ient, $40 and $5( was offered for them. Stock ani farming must go hand in hand togeth, er to arrive at successful farming Stock must make the manure to keel: upl) the fertility of the farm, and a fer tile farm makes good stock; the ont must keep up the other. When s itrinler n.ow depends on the range fo stock, his stock is merely a phantoln, Stock must be the products of th( farm and the renovater of the land. 1 don't believe in merchants and Imanu. facturers running and supporting th( farmers; when done, what profit there is goes to them-the farmer become, only their laborer.

C., Apt 1 22.-OnI Thursday, April 16, the nelgroes of the District celebrated the twenty-third anniversatry of the emancipation of the slaves. As usual, the parade was quite large. The President stood at the north door of the White House and re viewed the procession. He was greet ed with cheers by many of the organi zations in the line. An amusing in cident occurred at the corner of Fif t teenth street and Pennsylvania Ave nue. Quito a crowd had gathered to view the approaching procession, and the streets were packed with negroes. Just at that moment a well dressed gentleman, a King's county Democrat, marched down the street, lighting his path through the sea of dusky faces with a lantern in full blaze. le never smiled, but when ho reached Willard's Hotel a crowd of his companions saw the joke and burst out Into a hearty roar. Republican rule has thoroughly im bued the negro with an overrated idea of his own importance as a- politi cal factor. This may be seen from the speech of Fred Douglass, delivered in Lincoln Memorial Church last Thurs rday evening. Touching the policy of the Democratic administration the speaker said: "The President could adopt a pollcy of indifference In regard to t he negroes in the South, or ho might pursue a temporizing one-a policy of good Lord and good devil; or he might accept the Mississippi and South Car olina plan and keep by fraud and blood 153 clectoral votes for a Demo cratic candidate in 1888; or he might sustain a course of absolute fidelity to the Constitution as it stands, protect ing white man and black man alike. The latter, Mr. Douglas said, he was encouraged to believe that the President had resolved to do. Let the Democratic party do justice to the negro and it will again seat itself in power four years hence. But if it fall into old ruts and forget that slav. cry was an anachronism it would be ignominionsly driven from power. Unless it applied a corrective to the negro outrages in the South the Au gusta speech of James G. Blaine would be the keynote of the next campaign. "In the last campaign the Republi can loaders forget that they repre sented the party moral ideas. 'ihev wat1ted a new issue and made one of pelf instead of honor. They were for the protection of wool, but not negro wool. This nation has made us citi zens and promised to protect our I rights. It has not done so. It must a do it, or reap the .consequences. Loy- A alty will perish when good faith is t withheld. Who could blame the te'ro 8 if, when driven from the ballot t box and the jury box and of of rail road trains, lie should resort to some I terrible explosive force'? It would bo I folly, but. oppression makes wise men a mad." The course, which the present Ad- I ministration seems to have adopted, vith regard to appointment to places s in the Southern States, now held by t colored Itepublicans, is to substitutet fo)r inIcompetenmt or' dishom,est colored 1tepubhicanms, colored Demnocrams who are capable and worthy. it wvas in ( accordance with, mh1s policy that Post mnaster-Generald Vilas las't week ap-c l)ointled Toni Hamilton, of Beauf'ort,r route agenmt from Beauf'ort to Jacksons vylle.
