THE SOUTHERN WORLD, NOVEMBER 1, 1882. Jpw gtack gapartmmt. Prince Randolph. We give on this page a magnificent cut of that splendid imported stallion, Prince Bandolph. The following is his Pedigree.

The large number of importations by this firm has necessitated large additions to their already large and commodious stables to accommodate a sulti. cient number of animals to supply their cus tomers. AST IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE. Through the courtesy of D. A. Beattie, President of the Union Stock Yard, Dairy and Manufacturing Company, we were en abled, a few days ago, to visit the works of this company, located at the end of Pryor street, on the Macon branch of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad. This company was recently organized by electing D. A. Beattie President, L. J. Hill, Vice-President; J. G. Zacbry, Secretary; L. B. Nelson,.Treasurer; J. L. McGaughey, Su perintendent, and M. M. Smith, of New York, B. H. Hill, Jr., Drewry Tye, Howard Van Epps and II. C. Sawtell, Directors. The company own nineacres, five of which fronts the railroad and cost them $1,000 per acre.. The shed for the reception of stock is Jersey Cattle. Some information has been given in these columns about Jersey cattle. It would not be wise for every one to attempt to raise thor oughbred animals and have them all regis tered. There is too much expense attached to the business If our own cattle were brej year after year by intelligent farmers they could be developed into excellent milker, and butter makers as the breeder might choose. The Jersey lias been bred with a view to the greatest quantity of good, yellow butter from the least quantity of milk. Now,' instead of improving our own cattle, the shorter and surer plan, if we desire an in. crease of butter, is to take our common cat tle and cross with thoroughbred Jerseys- That will give us hardy cattle that will yield, with generous treatment, three to four gallons of milk a day. This amount of milk, even from a half Jersey, would make about a pound and a half of butter. This amount of milk and butter requires good treatment and good feed. A few persons in this country are introducing thoroughbred Jerseys, amongst whom may be mentioned L. A. Mills, Thos. Richardson, T. J. Moore- The Erwine, Dr. Fleming and Col. Walker. Mr. Mills has gone North, now, for the pur pose of buying several cows and heifers. He has studied the Jersey until he is a good mats from choice strains without going be yond the Atlantic, and very often without going out of bis own State or neighborhood. In the matter of price, too, the new begin ner fails to meet with the discouragement which would have faced him had he lived a generation ago. While there are many in dividual animals in this country which are held at strong fancy prices, it is indisputable that intrinsically meritorious and faultless ly-bred stock can be procured at a reason able figure. It does not require a purse of wonderful length to get a fair start in this fascinating business. A small* beginning with a few choice animals, managed judi ciously and bred from conscientiously, give the beginner all the capital which is abso lutely essential. We would not detract from the importance of importing stock; indeed, it is necessary that this fresh infusion of blood should be kept up. But the day is past when the man who docs not wish to Import is so handicapped by that fact as to mate rially affect his business in ordinary lines of breeding.” The Southern Live Stock Journal soys: Al though a very old remedy, itseems there is yet a good many persons that do not know the value of pennyroyal. It will clear all kinds of stock of all kinds of vermin, horse flies, gnats, fleas on dogs, lice on stock or Shotts and Whitburn Premium four years in succession ; and the Ayr County Prem ium in 1868.

A two-story building, 60x100, is arranged for a refrigerator, costing them $15,000, to enable them to kill and cure at any stage of the weather, and a packing room. The Engine room 30x60 will contain an engine of 75 horse power, with two boilers of 130 horse power. The building for the manu facture of oleomargeriue will be 60x100, threo stories high.

A sewer costing some $2,000 will carry off the waste water from the premises. The company propose to utilize every thing, and will mauutacture Oleomargeriue, Soap, Candles, Glycerine, and Fertilizers. The hides will be dried and sold. It is thought that all the butchering of the city will be done at these yards. Employment will be given to a large number of men, and millions added to the commerce of Atlanta.

Stribling, whose letters have interested the readers of the Spartan, is much interested in this busi ness. In a late letter lie says : “ I am to leave in a few days to attend some of the largest Jersey sales of this season at the North, and will bring back a car load of the highest breed for our different firms. In the lot already purchased is a bull “ Cou pon Alphea Rex, ” for Ashtabula. This is, perhaps, one of the highest bred calves now in America, and is the first thousand dollar calf that nos been shipped South. This lot of Jerseys will comprise representatives of nearly all the most noted butter families now to be found in this breed. This shipment will be a great acquisition to the stock of our State. "—Carolina Spartan, “Young breeders of finestockhaveamuch better chance to establish themselves in these days,” says the Pittsburgh Stockman, “than in the earlier history of the business in this country. The time was when good founda tion stock for herds of cattle could not be procured without great difficulty, often not without importation, and never without great expense. But it is now quite differ ent The man who does not wish to import can establish himself with finely-bred ani- poultry, etc. No farmer can reasonably do without it. To one ounce of oil of penny royal add four ounces of any other mild oil. Lard oil is good ; give each plowman a vial of this and a feather to touch the horse about the head, ears, flanks and legs with just a little every two or threo hours, and I will guarantee all insects will leave at once. In Germany, during the slippery season, temporary calks are used for horse shoes. Two sharp-pointed studs an inch long are screwed into holes left in the shoes, and when the horse enters the stable they are taken out and a button screwed into their place, thereby preventing all damage to the horse and keeping the screw holes from filling. Mr. Willis Moore, who resides between Walhalla and West Union S. C. has one sheep from which he has clipped from seven to nine pounds of washed wool at a shear ing for the post three or four years. Butler Dyer of Greenville 8. C. has a cow 2 years old that gives every month 70 pounds more butter than her own weight. A Mississippi ram yielded 14 pounds of wool at one clip, and after being sheared weighed 200 pounds. A Fort Davis, Texas man bought 1000 head of cows and calves at $30 per cow and calf.
