Every Cotton 1'lanter Should Raise at Least Stock Enough for bis Own Use? Tropical Animals, like Tropical Plauts, the Bost for tills Climate. Gen. Johnson Hagood before the StaUe Agri cultural and Mechanical Society. In response to the request to say some? thing at this meeting upon the rearing of live stock,. I have not had the time to prepare an exhibit of profit or loss in the pursuit; nor does the 3pace allotted to the discussion, amid other matters of in? terest claiming your attention, warrant the going into detail upon the methods to be successfully followed. A consider? ation of the balance sheet, and of the minutise, by attention to which a credit is established, have most interest for the practical farmer when a new subject is brought to bis attention, or he is urged to resume a neglected branch of his bus? iness. I will only, however, attempt to present in this connection some general views, which may elicit from others an expression of experience and opinion more valuable perhaps than my own. I propose, too, to consider the subject FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE COTTON PLANTER. Slock farms pure and simple, in my judgment, can be successful only in par? ticular localities in our State, viz: those where alluvial lands permit perennial medows without commercial fertilizers, or those, as in some of the lower coun? ties, where a "range" over lands of little market value may be hod. On the other hand, I am persuaded there is scarcely a cotton planter in the State whose interest would not be pro? moted by a judicious attention to the rearing of live stock, and the conversion of his pursuit from the production of a staple to that of mixed husbandry. To what extent this change would be judi? cious depends upon his special surround The minimum of stock that his plan? tation sboald carry may however be safe? ly pat at so mach as will consame the waste of his barnyard, with the summer pasturage of his lands not ander the plough; and to be carried through the winter upon the gleanings of his corn and cotton fields, with the shucks and straw necessarily harvested with his crops. Withont stock these products of the plantation are waste; with them they are money. The maximum of slock to be carried each planter must determine for himself. It depends upon the special adaptation of his lands to the cereals and grasses, and the natural pasturage his unplonghed lands afford. The facility and extent of his market is an element to be considered, if bis Ereduction of live stock is to go beyond is own consumption, and the character, and abundance of labor available is of prime consideration. The cotton plan? tation needs numerous human hands. Machinery may do a large part of the labor upon a stock farm, oat the labor? ers, fewer in nnmber, must have more fidelity and intelligence. White labor cannot be successfully worked in gangs upon a cotton plantation; it is well adapted to stock farming, and in any lo? cality the higher wages stock farming can afford, in consequence of the small number needed, will always attract the I best laborers, whether white or black. Before emancipation, oar planters gen? erally exceeded the minimum above indi? cated of stock on their plantations, withont making special provision of cereal and forage crops. In consequence, except in horses, our stock was inferior in quality; but the abundance of the supply was nearly equal to our needs. Since the war, the abnormal circumstances of oar condition have made home-made bacon almost a myth, home-made beef and mutton a luxury, and home-raised mules and horses are scarce enough to be placed the in same category. The increased supply of cotton caused by the direction of an intelligent indas-1 try almost exclusively to its production ' has, however, so reduced the price that oar people are beginning to realize their error. They are beginning to see that all cotton is a poor business, and that live stock at home is better than live stock on the prairies, however cheap the latter may be placed on the market. When we see the day in which South Carolina shall produce all the live stock, cereals ~ and forage used or consumed within her borders, and her valuable staple, rice and cotton, go to market as the expo? nent of profit, then, and not till then, will our agricultural industry be placed upon a firm and enduring basis of suc? cess. THE KIND OF LIVE STOCK, to the rearing of which the greatest prominence should be given, is also a matter to be well considered Of course it should be that kind, whether horses, sheep, cattle or hogs, to which the local? ity is best adapted. On the average plantation all kinds may be to some ex? tent advantageously reared. They rath? er supplement than interfere with each other. BREEDS. Upon the subject of breeds, however, experience and observation have led me to very decided convictions. South Car? olina is a semi-tropical country; the products of the warmer and the colder regions alike grow and some extent flourish within her limits; but the ex? perience of her agriculture shows that the greater success is met with in the culture of plants having their origfn in the tropics.. Indeed, transferred to her congenial soil and climate, they have in many instances improved in quantity and quality of production. Indigo, rice and cotton, her staple crops for two centuries, have this origin, and in the markets of the world have been perferred to those grown in their original habitat. The only hay I have known success? fully grown in the State for market is from the Means and Bermuda grasses? the one of Egyptian, the other of East Indian origin. On the other hand, wheat, oat3 and rye, cereals of a colder climate, upon lands of equal fcrtilily, do not produce so well here as further north. Indeed, with rye and oats, which are, more than wheat, a special product of high latitudes, there has been found but one variety of each which can be culti? vated by ns with uniform remunerative results. I allude to the red rust-proof oat and to what is known as Southern rye. I am persuaded that this superior adaptability of our climate to plants of tropical origin extends to breeds of ani? mals derived from the same region. The male bred from a sire of tropical origin is seldom fonnd in the fields of northern countries, but is undoubtedly oar best plough and wagon animal. No horse for light draft and the saddle can compare for our use with one that has a large infusion of thorough blood? the blood of the desert. General consent seems to have accepted the superiority in oar climate of the Essex and Berkshire hogs to other imported breeds; both of these owe their origin largely to tropial crosses. Of sheep, the broad tailed and the Merino, the one of Syrian, the other of African origin, thrive most readily with us. And in cattle, the Brahmin are the healthi? est and hardies of all the breeds which have been imported into this State. Our na? tive or scruo breeds of cattle, sheep and hogs are of European origin and varied crosses. They have been acclimated through length of time, and are hardy and heal? thy ; but originating in the unimproved breeds of Europe existing at the time of their importation, and neglected in thier breeding here, are inferior in many res? pects. Individuals among them have sometimes rare merit. The trouble with them is that of all conglomerate breeds, the progeny is as apt to breed back to some inferior ancestor as to inherit the merits of the parent. Prepotency?the power to impress itself with certainty upon offspring?exists only with breeds long established and purely bred. The Brahmin cattle, from their association with the religion of India, have been kept as a pure breed longer than any other now known; and they exhibit this F>wer of prepotency to a marked degree, have seen the pendant ears, the straight hind legs and general form conspicuous? ly shown in an ox, which I knew had but one thirty-second part of the blood in him. The broad tailed sheep which was the sheep of the Patriarchs, and the thoroughbred horse, going back of the Crusades in his history, possess a like power of making their progeny. There is not a doubt of the superiority for many purposes of some of the modern European breeds. The difficulty is that in our climate they loose thrift and hardihood. The problem is to appropri? ate their good quality without the care and long years required for a thorough climatization. This can be measurably done by crossing the imported male upon selected females of our native breeds; bnt can be far better done by an infusion into the European breed of the hot blood of the long descended and pure bred tropical races. The grade is at once cli matized, and renewed crosses upon the 1 European stock and careful attention will soon give you an animal equal to his European ancestor in all desirable qualities, and at the same time one nat? uralized to his new home. These re? marks apply more particularly to cattle. The Spanish Merino sheep for fine wool is unequalled by any breed here or abroad, and it is at home with us with? out a cross. The broad-tailed is regard? ed by many as the superior of all others ?for mutton, and is a good coarse wool sheep; if, however, toste prefers one of the English mutton and coarse wool breeds, the cross of the broad-tailed will accomplish the purpose of climati? zation without depreciating the mutton or wool quality. We all remember what a valuable hog for plantation purposes the cross of the Guinea upon our native stock made thirty years or more ago. I am satisfied now the best hog for us would be from a new and direct infusion of tropical blood into some of the modern improved breeds. This cross comes to us through the Essex and Berkshire; but there is too much of the native English blood in these hogs. Long residence in a northern climate has toned down the tropical blood too much; and the cross itself for our use needs climatizing to some extent I have for many years made my bacon economically, and with due certainty, by breeding Essex or Berkshire boars to native sows. The half breed was thrifty and healthy, a I good plantation hog; fit for slaughter without extra care or attention at 12 to I 18 months old. In my experience a higher grade was no improvement. Once I I relied upon the pure bred Prince AI-1 bert Berkshire, giving $86 for my boar at I 6 months old. The sows kept fat, bred freely, and the pig looked like the orig-1 inals of agricultural fairs. When I be-1 gan to feed them for slaughter, first one, then another, was found dead, until in a short time nearly the last one was gone. I The disease was as mysterious as the ex-1 periment of pure breeds for bacon was novel with me, and I returned to my old grades. I There are probably very few, if any, pure bred Brahmin cattle in this State, although very high grades may be found. Dr. Davis imported a cow and a bull into South Carolina in 1850, which he after-1 wards sold into Kentucky. I have seen in the columns of the old Farmer and I Planter a statement from Mr. Eades, the Ken tucky purchaser, that after six years' of successful breeding, in which he sold nearly $10,000 worth of calves from the I bull, he sold the original pair to Mr. Mc-1 Hatton, of Louisiana, for $4,200, some thing more than he gave Dr. Davis for I them. He claimed for the grades not only the superiority for beef and work which is generally conceded, but also I high milking qualities and increased size. | I am aware that the claim to mil'-ing qualities is sometimes contested, but in I my observation he is right. I once took from a twelve-year-old cow in one day, without extra feed," twenty-two quarts of I rich milk. She was half Brahmin and I half Alderney, and would have weighed I fat fully 1,000 pounds. This same cow bred to an imported Alderney bull, pro-1 duced a cow that approximated the Al derney nearer in reduced size and small er quantities of milk. The Brahmin blood in that case certainly did no dam age to the milking qualities of Alderney, I wnile it greatly added to in size, symme try of form and thrift in the grade. There I is also an opinion entertained in some quarters that the Brahmin grades are vicious and jumpers. I have not found them to be either. Bulls of all breeds, well kept like stal liono and boars, are apt to become vi-1 cious with age. If kept in large enclosures with as many cows as they desire, or broken to the yokeand worked, this trouble I is decreased. As jumpers, if the habit is once acquired, the Brahmin is apt toexcel, because of his superior form and activity. I He has, however, no more predisposition to the vice than other cattle. Starting with a herd of any breed, in which there I is no individual that has acquired the habit, if a planter will put gates to all his enclosures and never let down a gap I ? or a slip bar to drve his cattle through, I j he will not be troubled with jumpers. The English people in training the colt I that is intended for a hunter, place a I slight obstruction in front of his hovel I for him to step over in going in or out I from his feed, then raising it a little he is compelled to jump it; when he does this well it is raised again, until even tu ally a six-barred gate is approached with out hesitation ana cleared in his stride by the finished hunter. Is this not ex? actly the process of the slip bar and gap5' The lazy cowherd never lets' down more bars or rails than is necessary to get his | I herd into the field, and when their edu cation is completed, he need let down none. A slight infusion only of the [ Brahmin blood is required to acclimatize the breeds of a colder climate, exempting them from the murrain or malarious fe? ver usually so fatal to such importations. Thatdistinguished naturalist, the late Dr. Bachman, of Charleston, is quoted as authority for the assertion that as little as one-eighth or one-sixteenth of the blood will accomplish the purpose. PRINCIPLES OF BREEDING. Observation and experience have es? tablished, as the fundamental rule of breeding, that "like will produce like, or the likeness of an ancestor." When there is great uniformity among the members of a species, as in long estab? lished and pure breeds, the divergence ?from the average type is small. With Brahmin cattle, or broad tailed or Merino sheep, the coupling of parents always produces a Brahmin, a broad tailed or a Merino; and the divergence is generally due, where it occurs, to the offspring? circumstances the breeder can control. But in breeding grades the tendency is constantly to recur to one or the other of original types?preferably, however, to j the higher type when there is inequality 1 in the first cross. Selection should therefore be constantly made of the fe? male grade to be bred from, aud grade sires, when it can be avoided, should not be used; for the superior influence on tho progeny of the male is beyond dispute. A persistence in this course for genera? tions with all the characteristics desired, and then the members may and should be inter-bred to retrain these qualities. It follows too from these facts that nu? merous crosses should be avoided. Make the one cross that is desired, and then breed back to the original type you pre? fer. Indiscriminate crosses will result in a stock of animals whose progeny will be as varied as there are croises in the blood, and it will be impossible beforhand even to surmise which ancestor is to be per? petuated. This tendency to breed back, while the foundation upon which the breeder relies for keeping up the excel? lence of bis stock, is also at times the greatest difficulty in his way; for the bad qualities and peculiarities of the ances? tor are as apt to be recurred to as the good. Madam Touson, a celebrated thorough? bred brood mare, is said to have been a bay with star in forehead, and this sin? gular perculiarity: her ears when at rest were in position like other horses, but when thrown forward fell horizontally, and the points nearly touched. My fa? ther bred a filly eighth in descent from this mare, in which the peculiarity of the ears for the first time recurred. The filly, too, was a bay with star in the fore? head, though her four immediate pro? genitors were chestnuts, and that color had become a distinguishing mark of the family. In the last century Diomed dis I tinguished himself upon the turf and in the stud in England. Some of his colts proving obstinate aud restive, he went out of fashion as a stallion, and was sold to America, where he was bred to imported Castianira, who was then blind. The produce was the renowned Sir Arch. In Sir Archy, and as far as I am informed, in his best son, Timolson, there was no trouble with temper or eyes, though the Arcby stock when inbred are said almost always to have shown in their eyes the lat? ent taint. With Boston, the best son of Timolson, both the bad eyes and bad temper reappeared. Lexington, Boston's best son, was blind at five years old; and of Lexington's get, bad eyes and bad temper, the one or the other, or both, seem to mark those which have excelled most either on the turf or in the stud. Thus, iu the best strain of race-horses in America, the merits and demerits of its ancestry are alike perpetuated. The prohibition of the moral law against incestuous intercourse in the human family has led to prejudice against it with animals. Among all gregarious animals, however, the strong? est and most courageous male retains possession of his herd for two or three fenerations; his daughters and grand aughters have assumed the duties of maternity before a younger and more vigorous rival has displaced him. It is generally thought by the best breeders that, provided we do not carry in-and-iu brecding beyond the limit thus indicated by nature, it is not injurious, but on the contrary may be sometimes advantage? ous in intensifying the qualities of the strain. A neighbor of mine bred bis farm horses in this way. He had a horse who was sire and grand sire of his mate in the same team. With the two I animals before me, I could see no depre? ciation; and their general similarity in appearance was remarkable. I bred a [ fine black aud tan smooth-haired terrier I bitch to a very superior tan dog of the same variety, and reserved a tan bitch whelp that proved small, timid and with? out character. The latter bitch was then bred back to her sire, and two dog whelps reserved, which, when grown exhibited the size, courage and all the fine qualities of the original dog. They were so much alike in appearance, that although they were pets and my daily companions for i a length of time, if unexpectedly called upon I could not quickly tell Billy from William (for so they were called,) nor I William from Billy. A directly incestuous cross is found in ? the pedigrees of some of the most noted horses on the turf; while others have been the produce of brother and sister. The latter cross produced Henry, the competitor of Eclipse in the four mile contest, which is still regarded as one of the greatest performances on the Ameri i can turf. His sire and dam were both by Diomed. Henry, with overweight for his actual age, won the first heat; and in the opinion of John Raodoloph, Wm. R. Johnson and other turfmen, could have won either of the succeeding heats had he been differently jockeyed. I think in-and-in-breeding unlikely to do damage when both animals are good; and far better than an out-cross from an inferior animal. Twice, however, is a limit beyond which no breeder has ventured a recommendation to go. Twice in and once out is the accepted rule. One of the most singular of the recog? nized principles of breeding is the influ , ence of imagination in the dam, and of strong temporary nervous influence in either parent. The influence of the im 1 agination seems to have been known for a long time, as instanced in the incident of Jacob's sharp practice upon his father in-law, and many curious instances in modern times have been recorded, when it has affected color. One exhibition of the effect of imagination very annoying to the breeder is the becoming epidemic [ in herds of abortion. With mares it is unsafe to permit one to foal in presence of another who has not reached her full time. I A singular instance of the effect of a nervous shock upon the dam occurred with imported Marigold, the property of Mr. P. G. Stoney of this State. When pergnant with he second foal she received a severe cut in the eye from an oyster shell thrown by a little negro. The eye i was not put out, but a permanent scar remained. The foal she was then bear? ing was dropped at its full time with but one eye. Her two succeeding foals, one of which was the celebrated racer Jeff Davis, also each came with one eye. Afterwards she brought two colts with? out this defect. Having proposed to confine myself for plantation purposes, and having recom? mended to the planter the breeding of grades, I will, in conclusion, mention some of the other principles of breeding which arc of importance, chiefly when pure breeds are the object. These are generally stated as follows: First. Any variation from the establish? ed type in the form, disposition or habits of a species may be perpetuated and in? tensified by careful selection and use. Were it not for the existence of this law there could be no improvement in a breed once thoroughly established. Second. Hereditary qualities are liable to be strengthened or weakened by use or disuse. The thorougbred, the trotter, or the pointer whose families have not been trained for two or three generations, and who himself is not trained, will fail in most cases to transmit his peculiar qual? ities in their original excellence. Third, and the last to which I shall refer. Tho influence of the first impreg? nation seems to extend to subsequent ones. This is especially the case in the equine genus. In the College of Sur? geons in England is preserved a series of examples when the markings of the male quagga when united with common mare are contiuued clearly for three foals sub? sequent to that of which the quagga was the actual sire. So thoroughly is this principle recognized with breeders for the turf nowadays that few would ven? ture with confidence upon a mare whoso first conception was from the embrace of a jack, or even a cold-blooded horse.

There is only one country in the world in which there is no illiterate peo? ple; it is the Sandwich Islands. The population of the Islands is 58,000. They have eleven high educational insti? tutions, one hundred and sixty-nine mid? dle public schools, and forty-three pri? vate schools. The public instruction is under the supervision of a committee ap? pointed by the King, and composed of five members, who serve without remu? neration ; the committee appoint a gen? eral inspector and a number sub-inspec? tors.

Case of Col. J, C. Branson. Kingston, Ga., September is, 1871. Rents?For sixteen years I havo boon n great sufferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for fif? teen years with scrofulous ulcerations. Tho most approved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, with? out any docided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis? tressed, desponding, I was advised by Dr. Ay er, of Floyd County, Ga., to commence tho use of your Compound Extract Stilllngia. Language Is as In? sufficient to describe the relief I obtained from the use ol the Stilllngia as it is to convey an adequate ides of the intensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sutnclontto say, I abandoned all Other remedies and continued the use of your Ex? tract of Stilllngia, until I can aar truly, "I am cured of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to obstruct tho activo pursuit of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this re? markable cure, without any return of tho disease. For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who arc acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, your obedient servant, J. C. BRANSON, Atfy at Law. A MIRACLE. West Point, Ga., Sept. lfi, 1870. Gents?My daughter was taken on the 25th day of Juno, 18G3, with what was supposed to bo Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone be? gan to work out of the right arm, and continued to appear till all tho hone from the elbow to the shoulder Joint came out.

Its purposes and method will lie the [ same as in the pa>t: To present all the news in a a readable shape, and to tell the truth though tho heavens fall. TllK Sr.v has been, and will continue to he inde? pendent of everybody and everything save tho Truth and its own conviction* Of duly. That is tho only policy which an honest newspaper need have. That is the policy which has won for this newspa? per the confidence and friendship of a wider con? stituency than was ever enjoyed by any other American Journal. TlIB Srx is the newspaper for ihc people. It is not for the rich man again*! the poor man, or for the poor man against the rieh man, but it seeks to do emu] justice lo all the. interests in the commu? nity. It is not the organ of any person, class, sect or party. There need b<; no mystery about its loves and hates. It is lor the honest tiian against the rogues every time. It is for the honest Democrat as against the dishonest Republican, and for the honest Republican as against the dishonest Demo? ciat. It docs not take iis cue from the utterances of any politidau or political organization. It gives its support unreservedly when men or mcasutd arc in agreement with the Constitution and with the principles upon which this Republic was foun? ded for the people. Whenever?' 'Constitution and constitutional principles are violated?as in do outrageous conspiracy of lsTO, l>v which a man not elected wa.- placed in I he President's office, where he still remains?it speaks out for the right, That is TllK Sine's idea of independence. In this re? spect there will be uu change iu its programme for 1879. TubScji baa fairly earned the hearty hatred of rascals, frauds, and hum bugs of all son's and sixes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not loa in the year 1S7'J, than in 1?7S, 1>77, or any year gone by. 11(8 Si n will continue to shine ou the wicked with u i luititratcd brightness. While the teutons of the past should be constant? ly kept before the people. Tin: Sr.s does not pro? pose to make ilsclf iu 1873 a magazine of ancient history. Ilia printed for the men and women of lo-day, whose concern is cllieOy with the attain Of lo-day. It has both the disposition and tlio ability lo atf >rd its readers the promptest, fullest, and most accurate Intelligence of whatever in tho wide world is worth attention. To this end the re? sources belonging to well-established prosperity will be liberally employed. The present disjointed condition of parties ia this country, and the uncertainty of tnefuture, lend an extraordinary significance to the even's of the coming year. The discussions of the press, the debates and acts of Congress, and the movements of the leaders iu every section of tin.' Republic will have a direct hearing on the Presidential election of 1880?ail event which must he regarded with iho most anxious [liierest by every patriotic American, whatever his political ideas or allegiance.
