Is there no mistake in ibis i southern industry T Itany the statement who will, our agricultural labor is qgdly r misemployed and misdirected. The author ol the address before us falls to sen this pregnant truth. Onr rural economy was defective when slavery existed; It is no better now. Men who assume to know already , all that is knowablc, never improve their practice or principles. In such a case nothing remains but for kind death to put an end to a malady and all its pains, which are otherwise incurable. This done, immigrants will come in with lesi bias in favor ot tillage and planting, less prejudice against grass and grass culture, less antipathy to sheep, cattle and horses, and a inoro just appre ciation of domesticated animals, which have changed man from a wild flesh eating beast of prey Into a social, moral and intellectual being of wonderful attainment and ambition.

How few appreciate this remarkable addition to the vital resources of human life! In a thousand ways inau cau make cultivated animals aud cultivated plant* minister to his comfort, his dignity and power with very little labor on his part. All our trouble comes from the combined evils of superstition and tradition - clinging to the errors aid follies of the past, which act as sharp dead thorns in living flesh. Tradition wiU not let the dead bury its dead. Marl and Lima as Fertilirsrs. Sand or clay was-nto* conspicuous in the marls used by European farmers. Chemistry revealed the presence of lime, Mhn; potash, magn&ia. so<fa, chlorine, phosphoric, sulphuric and carbonic acids in msny marls. He fertilising substau ces attracted more attention than either sand or clay, for their value depends mainly on the alkaline earths, alkalies and acids present. Lime and magnesia are called alkaline earths; potash and soda, alkalies. Any earth deposit whether clay or rand predominates, that contains a good deal of soft uaotfous laa, magnesia or potash, may be c6n sidered a* a variety of marl. It seems that minerals which form the food of plants, have an attraction for each other so to accumulate in masses, instead of remaining widely separated as in the ocean or in primitive rocks. For instance, there is a law which unites Ore , lime derived from hornblende and syen- , enite with potash that comes from a very different rock, namely, granite. Our lariat oaks, poplars and hickories grow on limestone soils, where they find not only lime, hut a full supply of potash, as may be demonstrated by the strength of their ashes in this alkali. Let one learn how rich marl is formed by manure j and he will be likely to understand how fertile soils are made. The same law that accumulates lime rock in mountain masses, and iron in little less quantities, collects salts of soda, magnesia, potash and lime in quantities available as manure in a concentrated form. Thus, the phosphates found in Mouth Carolina are sent to England to be Used as food for growing ‘crops, along with nitrates from Chili and gnano from Pern. M ineral fertilizers should be more studied, for they exist wherever agri culture is possible; and marl and lime are proper starting points In the Inveetl gallon An Kart Teniwssee farmer tsys that it coats him only #7.00 to burn >JO bushel* of Hate, an average ol I* cents n He applies from 140 to 250 bushels of unalarked lime to the acre, and spreads It as soon as the heaps become air-slaked. He finds it profitable on both clay and sandy lands. This is burning lime for leas than half the cost in New Jersey, I’ennsylvatiia and New Y'ork. Marl h mom used in New Jersey than In any other state. Potash mat) is preferred. The German chloride of jtaaeujn is re garded as the cheapest source of this alkali, except where one has marl that contains it near by. Liming belne -soils to produce clover and wheat. Mixing clay and ssndy land to im prove the textum and- onoatituents at both is a practice quite as old-asany written history ; and liming and marling are the first steps iu advance of that primitive art. Paring turf and charring it to obtain turf ashes and roasted clay come next in order. There are many ways in which fire will increase the solu bility of minerals used as plant food, besides burning limeetone, bones, clays and rotten granite. A little heat pro motes fermentation and the revolution of much carbonic acidgaa, which iaa power ful solvent. Water thrown on quick lime generates at once a remarkable amount of heat. We have known this heat ued to kill the life in the need of weeds that may exist in a dungbeap. The lime is slaked | under the heap of manure. Lime is not i to be regarded ax a irabstilute for manure, but as an aid to increase fruitfulness. A * little stable manure goes farther on land ! marled or limed than tfnlaud not to be so treated. Clover, peas, and other reno vating plants dobatter on calcareous soils than on those where lime is deficient. It often happens that one mUBt improve tilled ground of abandon his farm, or work for a very small compensation. How to Raise Pigs Almost any person can raise stock, as Is proved by the great quantity of in ferior animals scattered over the coun try ; hut to raise stock which will prove profitable' to breed, fatten and kill in quires more skill and judgment that most persons are williog 'to allow. For instance, it is a very easy matter to pro duceone or more litters of pigs each year, but to produce them of a uniformly high grade is not so easy, taking the pigs as a class. A few may come finely-formed, and may grow well and profitably, but it is uniformly good animals we are after, i. e., we want all or nearly all of each litter to heuf an equally high degree of excellence. Tills can bo accomplished, but can only be done by using expe rienced judgment in breeding and feed ing. There are many points that can be brought to view ou paper, but the min ut! or detail* can only be learned by | oxperienaa. ~ * §< ■ ■ * % In swine breeding it is not advisable to : breed a sow too young—not until she is at least six months old. If she proves a good milker, suckles her offspring well and produces large and even littere, she should be kept for a breeder just as long asshewill breed, for every subsequent litter will be almost sure to be nn im provemeut on the one that preceded it, Home farmers jiermit their bows to rut about in the fields or woods when about to farrow, but in this way many of the pigs are lost from auddeu exposure to 1 cold and rainy weather. A better plan is to put the sow in a clean and airy pea a week or ten days before the pigs are due, u portion of the pen to be well cov ored, and the whole l>ottora laid with plank or polea to prevent the sow Irom burrowing, giving her but little litter, well broken up before the small porkers arrive. Care should also be taken not to 1 Iced too high for a few days before farrow ing, as overfed sows are apt to destroy their young. Itfo well, teo, to feed her partly on green food to keep the bowels open and prevent constipation and its evil consequences. As soon as the pigs come, they com mence to suck, and the sow should hgvs aJI the food she will eat, the greater (he yiirlety the better, as it will serve to keep her quiet and healthy. When the pigs aft a Week or so old ~§a Opening should be made at off* tdde and hear the botto’m of the pie, so that the j little fellows can have free egress aud \ take as much exerefoeas thoy please, and a small trough placed within coavenient distance in which mi]k should be put three times a day. This the little porkers will soon find and appropriate to themselves, and thus relieve the mother sow irom the constant and heavy drain upon her by some ten or twelve little squealers. This course of feeding them should be continued until they are six or eight weeks old, at which time the sow should be taken from them and they placed in the pen and given all they will eat, such as slops from the kitchen, refuse milk from the dairy, cut clover, j 1 etc., until they are four or five months j | old, when they may be turned into a | clover field or other pasture aud fed a i little corn daily uutil time to put up to fatten aud kill. The great advantage of this method consists in keeping the pig growing rapWiy while it is young, and allowing it uo opportunity to become stunted. farming under ©rffrcuKies Southern farmers who have to deal with unreliable labor or thievsih neigh bors, often imagine that their troubles and difficulties are greater than those endured by their class ip any other pert :of the world. The attention of such is called to reliable statistics collected in British India by the government. In the year 1576. 21,391 person* were killed by snakes and wild animals in that country, and 48,234 heal of cattle. Over 21,000 persons killed by inferior animals and over 48.000 head o* the farmer* rattle killed in twelve maSBC? tell lira reader of the cxirtenea of n kind of warfare froM year to year and flora generation to gene ration, of which we know next to nothing in the southern state*. The government of the rmpress of India pay* a bounty for the deetruo | lion of the snakes and ferocious beasts rao*t harmful to man, and we find the rtatistlca exceedingly latereatlng Wolves killed I/h;| persons, and in return 1,424 wolves were slain. Tigers killed 82* persons. The number of tignn slain is not stated, l-eopards slew 2(M human : beings ; and of these animail 2,51 2 were slain, the bounty being high to le-sen their number. Bears slew 84 persons and loet in the warfare. 1,181 ; ;of their number. Hyenas slew 68 of our I species, and I.Mti of the tribe were slain. Strange to sey, wild beasts commit little havoc as compared with the lorn by snakes. Iu the year under notice these reptiles killed 17,070 of onr fellow-beings —a very respectable army. But the wnr was carried into Asia by ! the government of the new empress of ■ India, which paid a bounty on the sev eral heads of 270,185 poisonous snakes i killed in one year. Did this enmity be tween man and the serpent begin with our first parents? It while snakes killed over'lT.ObO of the biped that laughs and cries, they caused tne death of only 3,106 cattle. In the province ot Madras leopards killed 4,309 cattle and only 44 human beings. We have cited facta enough to prove | that the wheat and cotton growers in I British India labor under peculiar diffi l It itfDYnirtnke to suppose that Nature i and Providence favor man conspicuoslv at the expeo.i* tjf reptiles, tigers and wolves. White woman in her best state adds one or two to the pop) olation of India of her a female serpent may add 100 to her low reptile race. Hence, a war of extermi nation against poisonous snakes waged 6,000, amj, probably, 60,000 years, finds these snakes numerous enough to kill 17,000 oi their enemies in a year in a •iagte nation. Agricultural obstacles are net so easily surmounted As many suppose. As farmers we mhst go back to the origin of things. Not-to do so is to take a very super ficial view of agriculture. Our advan tages are large, but not without some prominent disadvantages. Perhaps the greatest difficulty we encotihter is the absence of a taste for sound agricultural rtadifig slid a- want of rppiroaMon ; of useful knowledge. In his late message to the legitlature.Oov. ltobinson, of New York, pays thp cotmuou school libraries of that Btnfe r contain' 761*,546 Volumes, equal to about 70 to eachachool. Agri cultural libraries krt too little known to common farmers in the south and west. Thought is progressive. Mkin of l’lesh-lSating Animals. Turning to the structure of the group, one of the first things that strikes ns i* the i(H*eiifU of their skin, which Instead of being stretched on the body as tightly as a drum parchment, as it is in grass* I eaters—for instance, the ox or hippopota mus—is quite “ baggyhaving between it and the flesh of the beast a layer of the loosest possible fibers. It is for this reason that the skin of any but a very fat dog can be pinched up so readily, while of a Herbivore it may be said, in the words of eulogy, uttered bv Mr. Bqoeeftof Ms Sod WacVfoid, "Heft’s firmness, here’B solidness! why you can hardly get up enough of him between your fingers and thumb to pinch him anywhere.” In consequence of this the operation of skinning a lion or a bear is a comparatively easy one. After the first cut the beast may be polled out of its skin, almost without further use ef the kni(e; while with the antelope or an | ox the skin has to be cut awa\ carefully aud laboriously jr-atn the underlying flesh. Ttie lSe of*tf ft loose skin will lie very evident to any one who will take I the trouble to watch the great cats play, j ing together at the Zoological Gardens. ! They arc continually scratching one | another; but the loose skin is dragged round by the claws, which, in conse j quence, can get Uo bold, and do no harm; with a tight ski-?, on the other hand, the j slightest scratch of such a claw as a j tiger’s, would cause a serious wound. I The looseness of the skin is very evident in the puma and jaguar, in which it hangs in a fold along the middle of the belly, like..a great dewlap.—[Cabell’s Natural History. The Wouderful Telluride. “Professor Jaldin Smith, state geologist, of Colorado, lately telegraphed that the most remarkable “strike” made since 1875 in the wonderfully rich telluride belt of Colorado had just been made in the cross cut from the American to the Ajax lode, ih the American Consolidated company’s property. The mail brings a j ! full description of the new vein and ! eamples of the ore, which prove to be as , rich telluride and free gold ore as the famous samples from the American, some f ot which have yielded at the United ! States assay office here at the rate of I *i0,060 per ton, and others rm up as high as $200,000 per ton. The Workings in the American itself continue to show increase of ore with depth and increase in average value. The developments continue to incream the reserves of ore, notwithstanding the increase of output. Working* on the “slide,” tfce newly acquired property of the American, are being pushed in that shaft and levels, and this vein holds its exceptional average, the developments on the vein yielding over s2' 0 per mining fothom. The entire reserves, opened by nearly one thousand feet of shaft and levels in the “slide,” are still intact, no stopping having been done to date This, however. ; will soon be done, doubling the output ot the American consolidated. The immediate effect of these successes i* extraordinary stimulus to mining and l-u-iness throughout the entire belt of this the richest ore ever found. T " r * Cotton Jfnnnflnctiirr. The Hon. John B. (totdon, t ailed St vice Senator representing the state of Georgia, kn very kindly, in reeponre to onr Invitation, written a letter for pun licalion, giving bia views upon " Cotton Manufacturing at the Sentk." We here thank the senator lor his courtesy and acoommodatrea, and assure him the attention his letter will arrest will be very great. To our readers it is almost, unnecceasary to state that the southern senator is regarded as the highest author ity on the cotton industries of the south, and he is also favorably known to our selves as a strong civil service reformer, for whom we have long had great re spect. He is one of the southerners who bravely fought for what they thought was right, but who now accept the results of the war and earnestly support Presi dent Hayes in his noble efforts towards paoificatioQ. But to the letter. In an editorial some weeks ago we ; called attention tothe“Future of Cotton Manufacturing in New England,” argu ing that the time was at haud when the south, in coarse goods, would not only supply her own wants, but those of the west lso. Senator Cordon claims that cotton at Columbus, Oa., is *7 08 per bale less there than at Fall river, and in a consumption of five thousand bales there would be an advantage ot $35,000; due to situation alone. Thus, a Fall river mfll having a total investment ot $350,000, running on heavy goods, might make a profit of $21,000, or 6 per cent,, while a similar Georgia mill would earn $66,000, or 16 per cent. Senator Gor don produces figures to show that the product of a Georgia mill oould be even shipped to the north and sold at a profit. He asserts: “That tilQumet*intelligent manufac turers of the worth already concede the fact that the coarser yarns, No. 14 and ■lnder, cannot be manufactured there, when sufficient machinery is in opera tion in the south to supply the demand.” The senator is perfectly .correct, and he could ids') have stated that the more intelligent manufacturers at the north (or New England) ar§ seeking to de velop technical education by which skilled mechanics and trained taste and skill shall be at hand in order that cot- | ton manufacturing may reach to the high est possible perfection. These gentle men see that New England must in the future make the finest goods and the south the coarsest. They are seeking to educate young men as skilled artisans, and the theolo gical school in this city is oue of the means by wbich they expect to attain their.object. ffenAtor Gordon tells of the growth of cotton manufacturing at the south. We have ourselves diligently searched for the figures referring to ech state, and after considerable correspondence with the officials of southern states, (all of whom have been most accommodating) have been unable to obtain such, as those states have made no statistical collections of late years. The senator’s statement concern ing labor at the south is important. He argues that the skilled mechanics are not needed, since machinery does the work. .There is an abundance of help, and the climate not demanding large ex penditures for coal and clothing, and ani mal dieting—these all tend to make wages one-third less than at the north. The blessings of trade unions and strikes are unknown (happy south!), and native born Americans- constitute the large majority of the hands. He claims that during the much talked about summer “ the ebstof labor is least and production greatest,” He sustains this statement, by figures which he challenges contra diction by contrary facts. With cotton at hand, labor abundant and cheap, water power extensive, and coal low, the southern cotton manufac turing interests must indeed advance. Their advantages must fell, and New England cannot afford to be blind to them. It is for our manufacturers to attain in skill what- the south attains by natural advantages.—[Boston Journal of Com merce. ' _ Writ* Are Bet sjaksh ef Train. As the scholar soes in the vain but beauti ful mythologies of the ancients the embodied expressions of the hungry human soul, blindly groping after the Infinite, so the physician sees in that popular myth of the sixteenth oeutnry the fountain of perpetual health end youth—an expeasion of the long. ingß of suffering humanity for a remedy that shohld forever prevent the incursion ef dis ease.

Then again, I might go on and describe'warious kinds ef scrofulous sores, fever sores, whleewelfigs, enlarged elands, and ulcers of varying appearance: might describe how virulent poison mayzhow itself in various forms of eruptions, iflcers, sore throat, bony tumors, etc.; but as all these vaiious appearing manifestations of bad blood are cured by a uniform means, I deem suoh a coiirse unnecessary.
