Bob Branch, of Bishop, Oconeo county, is so suthority on stock rsis ing He has s magnificent race trsek of his own snd makes a special ty of raising race horses His horses have won msny prizes st county snd state fairs He was the leader of tbe movement which ter? minated in the successful organiza of tbe Osk Branch Fair association, whioh is composed of msny promi? nent planters of Oconee, a county noted for its blooded stock and fine raoers Mr Branch is not a horse breeder oo o large ooale Ho only raises two or three fine colts s year,and develops their speed. He says he gets from $125 to $1,000 ood opwsrd for those he soils, snd wbsn asked why horse raising is not engsged in more ex? tensively by Georgia farmers the tbo other dsy, ho osid : "1 do not know unless it io becanse men unacquainted with tbe business plunge into it an get dis? couraged before they learn what is necessary to success. A good strain io the first issentisl, then knowing how to treat yoor animals, how to feed them, how to handle and how to develop them. A man must lesrn the business before can hope to sue oeed in it." On the subject of feed snd eoonomy to be exercised io rsising horses in Georgia, he said : "I find that to cut wheat and oats in the doogh and feed this to trotting borsee is a very fine feed and enables them to get along on about half tbe groin they otherwise would require A man wsnts to hsve plenty of forsge crops, such ss sorghum, Ger men millet, peas oats, corn etc , snd then some rye for winter grazing If your land is rich enough barley will make the best grazing in the world, but it won't do for thin soil Rye bests it There is money in stook if you understand the busi? ness " Mr Branch is right Horses can be raised as well and as profitably in Georgia as in Kentucky, aud it is strange that more of our farmers do not eugaga in tbe business In Au? gusta's vicinity Burke snd War* ren counties have won rep? utations oy the flue stock they raise snd every effort should be made to encourage this in? dustry, which means so much for the prosperity of tbe farming interests of the state ?Augusta Chronicle. wm * * i *>?ssiaf' Tien Tain, June 3?Six men and two ladies, French and Belgian refu? gees from Pso Tiug Fu, have arrived here Nine are still missing A body of mounted Cosssoks hsve gone in oesroh of the missiotr snd to tske food to Ysn Lieu Ching for tbe relief of tbe party there It is reported from Pekin that Mr Stevenson of the Church of England mission st Yem Ching, has been murdered snd that Mr Norman of the same mission is missing. ??Mswo^ewa^owaw?
