THE INTELLIGENCER. LeOCAIi MATTERS. 1800 TO ADVERTISERS. 180G The Anderson Intelligences, has the largest circulation of any country paper published in the State, and has more than three times the circulation of any other pa* per in Anderson County. We print and cir? culate regularly 1809 papers. Our list in the County has increased instead of dimin? ished, and we hope to receive a still greater increase during the coming fall. We are willing at any time to verify the above by an inspection of our subscription book, or our paper bilbs; or when desired, we will furnish advertisers-with an affidavit of the correctness of our statement as to the circu? lation of the Intelligences BRIEF MEHTIOI!. Cotton?Middlings, 9i to 10 cents. Rev. Wm. Henry 8trickland will preach at Mountain Creek Church on the second Sunday in November, at 3 o'clock p. m. Hugh Wilson, Esq., of the Abbeville Press and Banner, was in town last week. We did not have the pleasure of meeting him. Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken is upon the Con? gressional Committee upon Agriculture. Col. Aiken will make a valuable member upon this committee. The State Fair begins on next Tuesday week, in Columbia, and will no doubt be very largely attended. All the Railroads will pass visitors to it at reduced rates. The Grand Division of Sons of Temper? ance of South Carolina will meet in Colum? bia on Tuesday, 13th inst., during the week of the State Fair. A large meeting is ex? pected. Mr. R. L. Moorhead from the house of Sloan, Lee & Taylor, of Greenville, S. C, was in Anderson last Friday. He was look? ing very much like an Anderson man al? though ne lives in Greenville. Mr. Joe B. McGee, of the house of Thos. W. Davis, of Greenville, S. C, was at the Fair last Friday. His stay in Greenville has not been long enough to rob him of a familiar appearance to our people. Our townsman, Mr. B. F. Crayton, has been suggested for the presidency of the State Fair Association, and will no doubt be elected if he will consent to serve, which we hope he will do, as a better president could not possibly be procured. L. P. Smith, Grand Scribe of the Sons of Temperance of this State, will organize a Division of that Order at Cross Roads Church on next Saturday evening at 7$ o'clock. We understand the prospects for a -strong Division there are very good. Managers of Election in this Connty for 1876 would do well to read the card of Col. James A. Hoyt, chairman of the board of ?commissioners of election for this County. "It is important to have the account made ?out by the beginning of the session of the ^Legislature. Mr. Curran H. Sloan, of the enterprising nnn of Sloan, Lee <fc Taylor* of Greenville, S. C, was in attendance Upon our County Fair on Friday. His many friends in this community were pleased to see him in our midst, even for so short a time. A little child t>f Maj. John B. Moore came near being drowned on last Saturday after? noon, by wandering from the other chil? dren and falling into a tub of water. For? tunately, however, the little one was dis? covered In time to resuscitate it, though the escape from death was a very narrow one. The business of the town of Anderson has been larger during the month of Octo? ber than that of any month for the past three or four years. Reason?because it is one of the best cotton markets in South Carolina, and goods are sold here as cheap as they can be bought at any neighboring town for the cash. Rev. Thomas F. Gadsden, who has been preaching some time in this place, assumes the Rectorship of Grace Protestant Episco SI Church to-day. His sermon next Sab th will treat of subjects appropriate to the ?occasion, after which the Lord's Supper will ?be administered. Hon. Thos. C. Gower, formerly Mayor of 'Greenville, and at present the president of 'her city railroad, was in Anderson last Fri ?day. He is one of the most enterprising ?end successful men in South Carolina, and is the senior member of the well known firms of Sower, Cox&Marklev, and ofT. C. Gower & Co., of Greenville, S. C. Mr. Warren Eeown shot Mr. J. N. Van diver at the circus on last Tuesday. Mr. Vandiver was acting as a policeman for the town, and had endeavored to keep Mr. Eeown quiet, but at the time he was shot had left him. The ball struck Mr. Vandi? ver in the back, but did not seriously hurt him. This case will undergo judicial inves? tigation, and therefore we withold com? ment. We return thanks to Mr. T. P. Quarles, Secretary of the Abbeville Fair Association ifor a complimentary ticket to the Abbeville ?County Fair, which is now in progress. This Fair will no doubt be a great success, as Abbeville County has come out to a very great extent since its political regeneration, and shows it on every occasion. It will not be behind on this. The exhibition in Calisthenics at the Ma? sonic Hall on last Friday evening was a very great success. The address of Maior B. F. Whitner upon the advantages of this system of education was terse, elegant and interesting, and. the performance evinced much training and rystem in the pupils, reflecting high credit pon their teacher? Miss Wade, of the Southern Home School. The attendance was large, and the enter ? tainment in every way a decided success. Sol Smith Russell, the great musical actor whose facial grimaces some of our people remember in connection with the Swiss Bell Ringers, will afford the people of An? derson a rare treat in the Masonic Hall on Friday evening. He brings with him an array of musical talent which is seldom met with in traveling companies, and will more than repay the attendance of all who love a chaste and elegant performance. See the advertisement elsewhere. The merchants of Anderson should dis? cuss the propriety of chartering a ferry across the Savannah river to induce the trade of neighboring counties in Georgia to come here in greater quantities. It might be made free for persons who trade at this point and not elsewhere- by issuing certifi? cates to every Georgian who sells a bale of cotton and buys a bill of goods in Anderson. By charging all others the ferry would pay expenses and be the source of gain to our town, as well as a benefit to portions of Georgia. The entertainments given in the Masonic Hall on last Wednesday and Thursday evenings for the benefit of the Episcopal Church, were quite a success. During the I two evenings the two highly amusing com? edies of "Colleen Bawn," "Should This Meet Your Eye" and "Kritz Single," were well rendered by an amateur club of ladies and gentlemen to a highly delighted audience. These entertainments were very amusing, and were well attended. We learn that about eighty dollars was realized from them. Judge Reed was prevented from holding the Fali term of Court in Beaufort, on ac? count of the yellow fever, which has been raging at Port Royal and other points along the coast. The Chief Justice directed him to hold the October term of Court at Green? ville during the recess which he now has, but the members of the bar were not ex? isting a term of Court, and hence are un? prepared . with the business of the term. A petition from the members of the Anderson Bar has been forwarded to the Chief Jus? tice, requesting an extra term of Court for November, and, asking for Judge Reed to hold the Court. This application has not been heard from, but it is probable an extra term will be ordered during the coining month. Now and Then. It is only now and then that such men as Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Goy. Brown, of Ga., endorse a med? icine for the throat and lungs, and when they do it in pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lung affections. They recommend the Globe Flower Covoh Sykitp, and their testimonials are to be sren round the ten cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower Syrup, for sale by SIMPSON, REID & CO. ) A sample bottle relieves the worst cough, j and will cure sore throat.

The Tenth Annual Fair of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Fair Association of Ander? son County was held last week, beginning on Wednesday and concluding on Friday. The exhibition was very fine in all the de? partments, and better than last year in every respect, except, perhaps, the Art department ana one of the Manufacturers' departments, in which a very small number of articles were entered. THE HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT contained the largest number of entries, and displaye<Lgreater progress on the part of its exhibitors than can well be described. Al? most everything that is prepared for table use was exhibited in great variety, and in the most tempting manner imaginable, showing the highest skill and perfection in. the exhibitors. The jellies, pickets, pre? serves, cakes, wines, salads, breads and cooking of meats, fowls, &c., presented by far a finer appearance than they have ever done before at any of our County Fairs, and there were numbers of dishes of each of these articles which deserved premiums or any other complimentary recognition that could be extended to them. THE FIELD CEOP DEPARTMENT, though perhaps not containing as many entries as in some former years, was well filled with much finer specimens of agricul? ture than those presented lest year. The wheat, corn, cotton stalks, oats, beets, cab? bages, sugar and broom cane, millet, pota? toes, vegetages, &c, showed that they had been raised Dy the most thorough and pro? gressive system of agriculture. Among the many worthy exhibits in this department we can mention specially but one, and that is a second crop of Irish potatoes. There were three or four entries of these, and all of them were very fine, indeed, showing that the Irish potato is susceptible of be? coming a very valuable crop in this country. Two crops of it can be raised upon the same ground during a year, and the yield from them is immense each crop, if properly cul? tivated. We learn that Mr. D. S. Maxwell's exhibit took the premium. They were very large and beautiful, as the others were also. MANUFACTURERS' DEPARTMENT. There were a number of manufactured articles on exhibition, which attracted a great deal of attention from all persons taking an interest in such things. Captain John L. Thornley, of Pickens, had on ex? hibition, in this department, a NEW COTTON TIE, which operates upon the principle of the wedge, and for simplicity and efficiency it is beyond doubt far ahead of any tie that has ever been offered to the cotton trade by any manufacturer. By using it the danger of breaking is lessened, and the same tie can be used and re-used for a number of times. Mr. A. H. Osborne, of our town, bad A PATENT GATE, suitable for use across roads, on exhibition, which is an invention of his own, and is a very ingenious device. By a system of levers and pulleys a person on horseback or in a vehicle can open the gate without dis? mounting, and after passing through can also shut it without getting down. This gate is a fine invention, for it is a great con? venience and safety in case of wild horses. We hope it may come into general use. Mr. Osborne also had on exhibition a PORTABLE FENCE of his own invention, which will very likely come into general use among the fanners in fencing up their stock in those portions of the County where the old system of fencing has been abolished. The fence is built of Slank, and is* very substantial. Messrs. T. I. Gower & Co. of Greenville, S. C, had a WOOD PUMP in operation, which is fast becoming a fa? vorite on account of its excellence, com? bined with cheapness. It has a patent at? tachment of the bandle, and a curved spout, so that it cannot get out of order by Being stopped up' by sticks, rocks, &c., as most pumps do. It works easily and brings a large and rapid stream. It seems to be as good a pump as can possibly be made, and is much cheaper than any other kind of wood. Messrs. Gower & Co. are agents for this State, and are also the most extensive deal? ers in doors, sash and blinds in upper Caro? lina. Mr. Wm. Todd bad on exhibition an in? vention of castors for sewing machines so arranged as to enable any person to put the machine on rollers or off of them at will. It is simple and excellent in its operations. Its convenience insures for it a general use. Col. John Alexander had several pieces of casting from theCongaree Iron Works, such as sugar-cane mills, evaporators, ballusters for piazzas and fencing, <fcc. His exhibit was a fine one, and will no doubt direct the attention of our people to this manufactory, which is within the limits of our own State. Mr. Richard Tozer had one of his porta? ble steam engines in operation on the grounds, as were also two engines from the manufactory of Tolbert & Sons, Richmond, Virginia. Messrs. Winship & Bro., of Atlanta, Ga. had in operation one of their cotton gins, with a condenser attached. At first it did not work well, in consequence of difficulty about regulating it upon the ground, but on the second day it was properly adjusted, and did most excellent work. It is in many re? spects a great improvement upon the ordi? nary gins. Messrs. McCulley & Taylor also showed one of their Pratt Gins, which is very popu? lar with the ginners of this County, and obtained the premium at this Fair. Mr. John Catlett had his patent churn there for inspection. It is a model churn, and is destined to become a great favorite with all makers of butter, as it not only does its work sooner, but also more thor? oughly than common churns. Mr. R. Y. H. Nance had on exhibition some work from his boot and shoe shop, and was awarded the premium for the best pair of hand made gaiters. The horse and cattle departments were far better than usual, and had exhibitors from this and adjoining counties. The display of fancy work was very fine, as also was the exhibit of flowers, which, though not as elaborate as in former years, displayed the finest taste in selection and arrangement. The cooking matches did not come off, as there were no entries for either contest. The baby show likewise did not come off on account of the bad weather on Friday, which induced the management to dispense with this show. We leara ?hat there were only two entries for this exhibition, and suppose the reason more did not enter for competion was that most parents are satis? fied that they have the finest baby in the world, and do not care to put a committee to the trouble of telling them of it. Seri? ously, however, we believe this part of the Fair would be improved in interest by hav? ing the exhibition in the building instead of in the cattle ring. We would like very much to make more extended comment upon the Fair exhibi? tion, but space forbids. We can only add that we regret that such a fine agricultural, mechanical, animal and miscellaneous ex hibition should not have received a more extensive attendance from our people. It was far superior in all that deserves patron? age to any circus that ever came here, and yet the attendance upon it was far less than that at Cole's circus. By attending these Fairs our people can improve themselves in many ways, and we hope hereafter that every one will endeavor to attend it for at least one day. It deserves public patron age. TO MAN AGEBS OF ELECTION. Columbia, S. C, Oct. 31,1877. To the Managers of Election in Anderson County: In response to several inquiries, I desire to state that the Legislature has made no provision as yet for the expenses of conduct? ing the last general election, and conse? quently there cannot be any money in the State Treasury for that purpose, until after an appropriation has been made at the next session, which will come out of next year's taxes, if levied at all. In the meantime, however, as Chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners for Anderson County last fall, I would respectfully re? quest managers and clerks of the different Srecincts to file their accounts with E. B. lurray, Esq., during the month of November, so that a statement can be prepared to show the amount necessary for the payment of such expenses. My absence from the coun? ty of Anderson so constantly after the elec? tion, and subsequent removal to this city, Sirevented prompt attention to this matter, nit the failure to make any appropriation to meet such expenses has rendered it un? necessary heretofore to make up the state? ment. Respectfully, JAMES A. HOYT. Scarlet fever kills children, and so do worms. Shriner's Indian Vermifuge will destroy and expel worms wherever they exist in the human body. TSE COLLECTION OF TAXES. We are indebted to Mr. S. E. Moore, County Treasurer, for furnishing us the fol? lowing for publication, which explains it? self : Executive Department, Office of Comptroller General, Columbia, S. C, October 29th, 1877. To Mr. Sam'l. E. Moore, Treasurer An? derson County: With approval of the Governor the time for collection of taxes, without penalty, is extended to 15th of November prox. JOHNSON HAGOOD, Comptroller General. This action on the part of the administra? tion is very considerate, and will be appre? ciated by our whole people. By this exten? sion every possible leniency has been ex? tended to the taxpayer, and every one who has not already paid should do so before the 15th day of this month, and thereby save the penalty. This is the last indul? gence, and those who do not avail them? selves of it will either pay the tax and pen? alty or have their property sold. Taxes have to be paid. THE TOURNAMENT. On last Friday the attendants upon the Anderson County Fair enjoyed the privi lege of witnessing one of the most interest? ing tournaments that has ever been given in Anderson. Messrs. J. E. Allen, G. E. Brown, F. E. Harrison, jr., G. Harrison, C. H. Orr, J. E. Peoples, Louis Sharpe, J. J. Fretwell, J. L. McGee, J. 0. Wilhite, E. W. Taylor competed for the prize, which was a handsome saddle and bridle, worth $25. The contest was a very exciting one, and re? sulted in a victory for Mr. Louis Sharpe, who carried off seven rings in three runs. The second prize?a bridle and martingales, worth $5?was won by Mr. J. J. Fretwell, who took five rings. Mr. John E. Allen took four rings and secured the third prize, which was a silver plated pair of spurs. It was ascertained that six of the knights had carried off two rings, and hence had tied for the tin cup, which was by far the most popular and hotly contested prize of the day. Messrs. Peoples, Wilhite, Orr, Taylor, Brown and McGee competed for it, and vic? tory at length perched upon the lance of the last named gentleman, who se? cured the proverbial tin cup of the tourna? ment. Messrs. John B. Moore, D. S. Maxwell and James L. Orr acted as judges, and at the conclusion of the contest Mr. Orr an? nounced the result and presented the prizes to the winning knights and stated that the coronation of the queen and two maids of | honor would be performed by the three gen? tlemen winning the highest prizes at the tournament ball which came off at the Waverly House on Friday night. At that time Mr. Louis Sharpe, in a graceful manner, and with an appropriate speech, crowned as Queen of | Love and Beauty, Miss Rebecca Keys, who responded in an elegant and dignified accep? tance. Mr. Fretwell then, in like manner, crowned as first Maid of Honor, Miss Lula Neville, of Walhalla, and Mr. Allen crowned as second Maid of Honor, Miss Lucy Reed, of this place, each of whom responded with appropriate beauty of expression. The cor? onation presented a beautiful tableau, and was followed by one of the merriest and most pleasant, yet dignified and elegant, evening's amusement that has been enjoyed in Anderson for many years. THE CIRCUS. Cole's New York and New Orletms Circus and Menagerie visited Anderson as billed on last Tuesday, and with it came a warm, sultry rain and an immense concourse of | people, white and colored, from all sections of Anderson and adjoining counties. The street procession was a very good one, and at the appointed hour an immense con? course of people assembled at the tent in the Blue Ridge Railroad yard, and soon filled it to its uttermost capacity, occupying the seats and also the standing room. The tent leaked badly in places, and the continued tramping of the ground soon made the whole affair a perfect mud-puddle. The arrangement for seats was greatly inade? quate to the demand for them, and quanti? ties of lumber was improvised to meet the demand, but with all that could be done in this direction failed to afford accommoda? tion to the crowd, and the consequence was that the audience was more boisterous than usual at such places. The circus perform? ance went on under difficulties. The ground was wet, the horses damp and the crowd talkative. The services of the clown were completely wasted, as he could not be heard at all, and hence all who like this part of a circus thought the affair a very poor one, but the riding and acrobatic feats were marvellous, and equalled any ever pre? sented in this place. The Menagerie, though not as extensive as some that have been here, contained a number of very fine and rare wild beasts. The lion-tamer entered the cage and put his head in the lion's mouth, and performed other wonderful feats. The deportment of the managers of this Circus was unexceptional, and under favor? able circumstances no doubt it would be all that circuses generally are in the way of] performances. The crowd present was esti? mated at from three to four thousand per? sons. County Correspondence. SANDY SPRINGS. We have deen blessed with a delightful Fall, so far. Our farmers cannot ascribe dis? agreeable weather and muddy cotton to its low price, because their cotton is unusually pretty. The crops of corn, with a few ex? ceptions, have been garnered. Its yield is remarkably good, when we take into con? sideration the fact that we were victims of I the hail-storm.The only real sports and enjoyments the neighborhood now affords are 'corn-shuckings. Mr. W. G. Smith opened the ball with a big shucking and a sumptuous supper, and his brethren follow? ed suit...Enough Sorghum has been made in the neighborhood to supply it two years or more. With the present improved evap? orators, the sorghum made is of a superior quality, equal to the finest New Orleans syrup.We are pleased to know our friend and citizen, Doctor Morris, received the premium for the finest quality of sorghum presented at the County Fair.As candy pullings are one of the innocent and enjoy? able amusements of the present day, the youths of the neighborhood, both male and female, assembled on the evening of the 27th inst. at Dock Elrod's residence for the purpose of having a candy-pulling. The evening was most delightfully spent?pull? ing candy, love-chatting, and other enter? tainments, that necessarily and customarily attend such gatherings. Mr. Elrod's happy smiles, as well as the hospital hand extend? ed by his fair lady, added greatly to the en? joyment of the occasion. THE ANDERSON AND SAVANNAH VAL? LEY RAILROAD. Mr. Editor : The question of the great importance and inestimable utility of rail? roads has long since ceased to be problemat? ical. No sane man in this progressive age, unless he be an incorrigible old fogy of the worst type, will attempt to controvert the proposition that railroads are of the first importance to our country, both in an agri? cultural and commercial point of view. But, sir, railroads are not only of the first importance as developers' and utilizers of | the agricultural and commercial resources of our country, but the great facilities which they afford in the way of swift transit and cheap transportation have absolutely become to us as citizens of Anderson County a prime necessity, without which we cannot possibly live and keep even pace with our more for? tunate competitors in the great progressive race of agricultural advancement, commer? cial enterprise, material wealth and general prosperity. We have not attended any of the public meetings held in the interest of this great, inestimable enterprise, but we understand from your journal that there are meetings to be held at three different points during the next eight or ten days to ascertain if the people living along the line of this prospec? tive road are willing to tax themselves to construct said road. Now, that a few indi? viduals living along the immediate line of | the mad will be specially benefitted is quite plausible; but that the masses in this sec? tion of the County will be more immediate? ly or directly benefitted by the road than tliose living in other sections of the County, we cannot so very clearly perceive. And hence, we write not in the interest of any particular route, save that of the nearest and cheapest which will connect Anderson and Augusta by rail. This is the great de? sideratum; the great object which should be continually kept in view, so as not to sacri? fice the road in the vain attempt to locate it so as to run by Mr. A's blacksmith shop or Mr. B's gin house, Mr. Ca Mill or Mr. D's school house, for it is patent if the road is ever to be built all these load minor inter? ests of particular individuals must be ig? nored. And now, sir, as Anderson is our judicial capital, and also our commercial emporium, our nearest market town, we think every citizen of the County should be actuated by the principles of patriotism, were there no other motives to impel, to be willing to tax himself to the utmost of his pecuniary ability to construct the road. Let us, there? fore, as citizens of Anderson County, work? ing together for the general benefit and pros? perity of ourselves, our children, and chil? dren's children, shake off and put to flight the groveling selfishness which causes some to say, "If they will locate the road by my place I will give them $1,000, but if they locate it five miles away I will not contri? bute a single cent." Now, evidently, if the road is ever to be built, we must not depend upon this very venerable, but none the less ideal, irresponsible personage, They, to con? struct it. But let us employ the real bona fide, responsible personage Wc, and our word for it, we can build the road. W. H. JIatt Township. Now is the time to subscribe for the In? telligencer.

OUR GRANGE COLUMN. Under the Supervision of the Executive Committee of Pomona Grange. Sowing Wheat in Cotton Land. We are always pleased to receive just such letters as the following, and can commend its perusal to our readers, be? cause it comes from a man of experience and great practical agricultural knowl? edge. Mai. R. A. Griffin, of Ninety-six, writes as follows: "Your correspondent 'E.' asks, how and when to sow wheat in cotton land ? You seem to think your experience too limited to assure a truthful reply. I venture to give my modus operandi, which has heretofore been successful. Early in October^ 1868, I made my first experi? ment with this kind of work. All hands were put to work picking cotton, and close behind them I followed with turn? ing ploughs, the bar sido to the cotton stalks; the wheat was then Bowed broad? cast, and at the same time a good manu? ring of cotton seed was thrown broadcast from a wagon driven lengthwise with the rows; a one-horse cultivator was then run one time in each row. From nine bushels of wheat thus sown on ten acres I reaped one hundred and ninety bush? els. Since that time I have sown several fields in the same manner with satisfac? tory results. If the cotton rows are four feet wide I run a third furrow through the middle. The wheat and fertilizers will be massed in the open furrows, but you need fear no injurious effects upon the wheat, which should not be sown very thickly. "Last year I planted four acres in tur? nips in thirty inch drills, and failed en? tirely to get a stand. About the 20th October I ran a double-footed plough along the beds as in covering cotton ; this with a furrow in the alley left three open furrows. I sowed the patch with live bushels of a large variety of amber wheat, and covered by ruuning a two-horse har? row lengthwise with the rows. The wheat came up in three well defined drills and yielded one hundred bushels. "I agree with you in saying we sow wheat too late. I have always succeeded best even with the red spring variety, when sown between the middle and last of October. When we postpone sowing until November or December the land is apt to be wet, and will consequently be left in bad order after plowing, and the wheat is covered too deeply, which results in bad stands. I believe that fair land planted in cotton, with an application of 150 pounds of fertilizers, if sown in wheat as above without additional manure, will make more than if postponed until the last of November or first of Decem? ber, and then receive an additional ap? plication of 100 pounds of fertilizer. "I intend to commence sowing wheat about the 10th of October. In February after, I will zun a two-horse harrow over the land to level the cotton beds so the crop can be cut with a reaper. The har? row will tear off the limbs from the cot? ton stalks, leaving the stems to be knocked down by hand.?News and Cou? rier. Fattening Crops. The most complete thing in figures we have ever seen, is the report of the Com? missioner of Agriculture of Georgia, (Dr. Janes) upon the subject of the relative value of crops for fattening hogs. The Doctor takes the clue from a writer in a Florida paper, and selects five different articles of food, and runs a comparison betweon them as to their nutritivejvalue. It is asserted that all food must contain oil, sugar and starch to fatten well. Tak? ing corn as the basis, as being the most universal food for hogs, the comparison is run between corn, peas, sweet potatoes, chufas and peanuts, and are ranked as follows in the percentage of oil, the most valuable ingredient in the food: ohufas, peanuts, corn, peas, potatoes. The per? centage of sugar contained is as follows: chufas, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, pea? nuts. Of starch they rank thus: peanuts, corn, peas, chufas, potatoes. Wnen the proportions of the various analyses are consolidated, we find the following relative value of flesh and fat producing material: peanuts, corn, chu? fas, peas, potatoes. The comparison goes on to say, that if land produces per acre, corn ten bushels, Seas ten bushels, peanuts twenty-five ushels, potatoes one hundred bushels and chufas one hundred bushels, the pork producing value of each acre, ac? cording to the above analysis, is as fol? lows : Chufas, potatoes, peanuts, corn, peas. He assumes that it costs to culti? vate an acre of corn ?5, peanuts $6, pota? toes $5.25, peas $4.50, chufas $3.75. To the producer, therefore, corn is worth 50c. per bushel, peas 45., peanuts 24c., pota? toes 51c, chufas 3}c. Taking corn, then, as the unit of value, an acre of chufas is worth 7.8 acres of corn, peanuts 3.01, peas 75; potatoes 3.9; while ten bushels of corn costs the pro? ducer as much as 133 bushels of chufas, or 20.8 of peanuts, or 8 bushels of peas, or 05 bushels of potatoes. This calculation comes near reducing the theory of feeding to a science, but as the calculation is made all on one side, we suggest to the Doctor and his Florida friend that they give us something on the part of the hog, showing his capacity to assimilate food at different ages, and whether as a fattening hog at ten months he needs more of the oily, sugary, or starchy matter to complete his growth ; and too whether the same proportions of these ingredients are necessary at all ages. Will not an old hog fatten more on potatoes than a young one ? Will not poas fatteu a growing hog more rapidly than corn ? There are too sides to every question, and we see very clearly two to this, and unless some one will bring the other side prominently before us we are bound to say all this finely drawn com? parison "don't amount to a row of pins." Last fall we turned an old sow and three sboate into a potato patch. Before they had eaten it out the sow was so fat we feared she would dio of suffocation; the shoats fattened but little. The shoats needed tho oil; the old sow felt at home on the sugar and starch.?News and Cou? rier. Astonishing Success. It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee's German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses * ill relieve any case, and wo consider it the duty of all Drug? gists to recommend it to the poor dying consumptive at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles wero sold last year, and no one case where it failed was re? ported.
