This becomes especially apparent when we consider the feet that a by prodnet of tbis animal factory— the manure—cog tributes iu such important degrhe. to the reproiiuc tiou of ita own raw meterial. Let tta take the sheep, for in- ehiifl ofl^wwo**, to illa*trate this point Grass organizes the substaoeea of soil and air into food for the sheep or, if uaed aa bay. into an artiole of comas a eea if ooovertMl into bay .baling apd drawing to market.

Now if he can afford to pay these charges in addition to ,tbe cost ot growing the hay, and yet makes a profit by feeding it, sorely he who nlilises the quiet she*p to manufacture bis bay in bis field* should realize much more, *inoe tbe manure, beiug returned to the soil, i* only robbed of the plant- lood sold in wool or mntton. Our people do not seem to appre ciate the fact that the conversion of all available maieiial derived from the roil into the more valu able and -ompaet animal products wiibouts the mterventiou of so much costly banian labor consti tute* a most important factor iu determining the question of suc cess or failure. They do not snffi- rteuHy appreciate the tact that uearly all of tbe nitrogen of the food consumed by a grown animal I and all ot the phosphoric acid and Yfirfish eon f a iued in the food are excreted in the solid and liquid mauarH. One of the most culpable WHsteWOf which any people were ever guilty fr*that of applying cot ton seed or cotton seed meal as manure without first running them through the animal machine. Both are roost valuable feed-staffs which would be equally valuable as man uce after passing lurough tbe aui- maf if the *oiid and liquid excreta were saved. La*es estimates ibe value of the manure from a ion o. cotton seed meal at 127 iu Bngiaud. The mesl costs ua here much less than that. L is true that it ia not now practicable to feed the entire product of cotton seed in tbe South because there are not enough stock to consume ihem. On many Southern plantations enough peas, potatoes ami small grain is wasted to produce, if con sumed by swiue, enough bacon tor tbe family of the iwoprietor, and enough hay dries in tbe fields, if harvested aud fed iu connection with cotton seed, to produce more value in beet and milk tbsu the cot ton ctop open the plantation - will bring alter puying cost of prodne turn of the latter. We fail to util iM the very forces of na- tare which do our bidding moat willingly and profitably. So true la tbhf (bat tbe measure of success of tbe tillers of the soil iu tbe South may be very aooarat ly ganged by tbe attention given to stock-breed ing. Stock off the farm often util ize with profit vegetable growths which would, uncousumed, not only remain witboot profit, bat prove a positive injury.

Just theu I got awake, bat tbe dream was so real and seemed so queer that 1 couldn’t sleep any more. “It was about 3 o’clock when I got awake, aud from that time on until morning I lay in bed and thought of the dream. 1 am sure it is going to come true, and I am sore Mahlon Povenmire is going to die, too; and though I never be lieved much in dreams tbis was so different from all others I ever bad that I am sure it was a warning from heaven, aud 1 write this out so that if I should die ou March 26 my family and friends will know that 1 am prepared; and if it dou’t come true, why no barm will be done. Rut I can’t get over it that I am going to die ou March 26, and that Mablou wifi die a week before me, bat I wou’tsay •uything to him or anybody else shout it. “It may be foolish to write all thi*, but if it oomes true let who ever Auda this believe that I was ready to go when the messenger came after me. n •VUffiAM F- AND IT ALL GAME TRUE.
