The Nebraska State Journal offers e sug? gestion wblcb mey interest some of tbe farm are to South Carolina A maa wbo Is well qualified to ?peak on the subject, it says, ex? presses tbe opinion that every farmer "wbo wishes to make money in the next few yeers cen do so by raising horses," as there are fewer such animals In the couotry now than at any time in tbe pest 40 years. "Nebras ka," says the Journal, "mey safely mark up its weelth several millioos on sccooot of the increase io prices eod the certainty that tbe bostneee of borte-ratriog cannot be overdooe for several years." Twoegeotsof the British government, it is edded, are now io New York seeking 35,000 heed of such stock for war purposes, and stand a small chance of gettiog even a faction ot that number. "The couotry simply cannot supply tbe de? mand." This is good advice, and tbe farmers of Somter county should be wise aod follow it. They need horses for ibtir own use, and they will make money by raising tor borne use if they reise none to sell. Properly managed if] costs little more to raise a colt thao it does a cow, aed eveo a pint horse is worth severel times as much as a cow. It dues oot pay to raise plug horses, however, for it costs oo more to raise a Mooded borse than a plug Just hi this urm these who wish to improve their stock by raising first class stock have an opportunity witbin tbeir reach.
