everybody can graze their cattle with 1
safety. In the summer and spring the
! cattle that graze in these woods are in tip i
top condition, but in the winter they get 1
very poor and die off in great numbers for j
- the want of food. The land is too poor j
\ and the population too sparse to produce i
corn or other food enough to keep them
alive during the winter. Hitherto tlie |
cattle owners in this region have leliedj
chiefly upon the wild cane, which used to ■
he very abundant, to feed their cattle ;
and even keep them fat in the winter.—
But this resource is rapidly failing. One I
of the calamities which fell upon the peo- j
pie of the piny woods during the late w ar, j
was tlie seeding of the cane, which marks i
its decay and its entire disappearance, to i
keep alive their cattle for the futiue, du- 1
i ring the winter, their owners, must have!
j corn. They cannot raise it on their lands
and must buy and transport it from more |
, northern sections of their State, where it
abounds. But to do this two things are:
j needed which do not now'exist, to-wit: j
money to buy with and roads to transport j
on. These obstacles can be easily sur-;
: mounted by energy and enterprise. Let !
our corn producers sell their corn to cattle i
j raisers on shares, or exchange the tame j
1 for cattle. If cattle can be driven from
Arkansas, Texas and Illinois, and sheep
j from the Rio Grande to New Ot leans, cer-
I tainly they can be driven from the piny
; woods along the Gulf, to the rich corn
producing sections of Central and Nortli-
! ern Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.—
1 This arrangement would dispense with
; the transportation of the corn for winter
i use. These and other arrangements which
are found easy aud practicable in the
be very apt to have yoitr feelings and I decision of General Howard would have
rights respected. Watch against impa- j a retro-active character. We think, not.
