Salting Stock.—One of the most
important tilings to attend to in the
care of farm stock of every kind, is
that they have access at all times to
salt. In this connection we would
again call attention to the practice in
vogue' with many farmers, in that
they salt irregularly, and at such
times with too liberal a hand. Thus
animals will gorge themselves, and
this often results in severe purging.
Again, when salt is thrown about on
the ground to be licked up, the larger
animals get more than they should,
and the smaller ones little or none.
Besides, injury to weak animals is
often the result of this struggle.

An exchange says: “A successful
fanner and a number one horse mas
ter handed us the following recipe for
the cure of colic in horses. He has
often tried it, with good results in
every case, lie regards it as an in
fallible remedy: Take one-half pint
of wheat flour and dissolve in three
half pints of cold water, then use as
a drench. It is a cheap and simple
remedy, and within the reach of all.
To avoid catching cold, accustom
yourself to the free use of cold water
every morning on first getting out of
bed. It should be followed by a good
deal of rubbing with a wet towel. It
has considerable effect in giving tone
to the skin and maintaining a proper
action in it, and thus proves a safe
guard to the injurious influence of cold
and sudden changes of temperature.
The following is said to be an excel
lent remedy for burns : One ounce of
pulverized borax, one quart of boiling
water, half ounce of pulverized alum.
Shake up well and bottle. Wrap the
burn up in soft linen and keep con
stantly wet with the solution. Do
not remove the linen until the burn
is cured.

SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE.
Tire following characteristic sketch
is from the Natchez (Miss.) Democrat:
‘Halloo, stranger, you seem to be
going to market?’
‘Yes, sir, I am.’
‘What are you carrying that plow
along for?’
‘Going to send it to Pittsburg.’
‘To Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania?’
‘You’re mighty right, I am.’
‘What are you going to send it there
for ?’
‘To get sharpened.’
‘All the way to Pittsburg to get it
sharpened ?’
‘You bet 1 We’ve starved our black
smith out. He pulled up stakes and
went to Texas.’
‘Well, that’s a rather novel idea,
my friend—sending a plow so far to
get sharpened.’
‘Not so novel as you heard it was.
We do our milling in St. Louis.’
‘ls that so ?’
‘You’re right it is. We used to
have a mill at Punkinvinc creek, but
the owner got too poor to keep it iq ,
so we turned to getting our grinding
done at St. Louis.’
‘You don’t mean to say you send
your grist all the way to St. Louis by
rail ?’
‘I didn’t say nothing about grist— '
we hain’t got no grist to send. But
we get our flour and meal from,St.

‘That’s a fact—cleaner than the
buzzards did the old critter’s carcass.
But what’s the use being taxed to
build railroads, without you get the
blood of ’em ? Used to have a tan
yard over at Lickskillctt, and a shoe

‘Kerllummuxcd—what’s that ?’
‘it means gone up a spout—and
twixt you and me that’s mighty nigh
the case with our Slate.’
‘When do you expect to get your
leather?’
‘Don’t expect to get no leather—
expect to get shoes, some day, made
at Boston or thereabouts.’
‘Rather a misfortune to lose a milk
cow, my friend.’
‘Not so much of a misfortune, as
you heard it was. Monstrous sight of
shuckin’ and nubbin’ in a cow, and
milkin’ her night and mornin’ and
gotten only ’bout three quarts a day.’
‘What are you going to do for
milk?’
‘Send North for it.’
‘Send North for milk?’
‘Yes, concentrated milk and Goshen
butter-’
‘Oh I I see the point.’
‘-Mighty handy things, these rail
roads—make them Yankee fellers do
all our jobs for us—do our smithing,
grinding, tanning, milking ami churn
ing.’
‘Yes, we go our bottom nickel on
cotton. Sending it up to Massachu
setts to get carded, spun and wove.
Time’ll come when we’ll semi it
there to be ginned, and then we’ll be
happy. Monstrous sight of trouble
running these gins.’
‘That would be rather expensive—
sending cotton in seed.’
‘No more so than them Western
fellers pay when they send corn East
am! get a dollar a bushel and pay six
bits freight. Besides, as 1 said, what
is the use of paying for railroads
without we use. the road?’
'You seem to appreciate the value
of railroads.’
‘I think we ought—we pay enough
for ’em.’

y ou haiii't got none to tote it to.’
‘I-sbould think so.’
‘There's one thing lacking though
tojjrake the business
< ‘WTat’s that?’
‘They ought to send the hogs ready
cooked. Cooking and preparing wood ’
for cooking, takes up a heap of time
that ort by rights to be employed in
the cotton patch. I was saying to my
oid woman, the other day, if we Mis
sissippi folks got our cooking and
washing done up North and sent by
exmess, we'd be as happy as otlice
holders.’
‘Your horse in the lead there seems
to be lame.’
‘Yes, needs shoeing. If he wasn’t
the only horse I've, got, and can’t
spare him. I’d send him up where
they make the horse shoes and nails
and get him shod. Can’t get such a
thing done in our parts. Perhaps 1 ;
can at the depot.’
‘How do you manage to live in your i
parts, my old friend?’
‘Why, we raise cotton. My road
turns off her, stranger. Gee, Ball,
back Brandy, I'm glad 1 seed you,
stranger.'

LAMAR ON THE EXODUS.
Senator Lamar, who returned from
Mississippi several days ago, was ask
ed by the Post, 'Wednesday, about the
negro exodus. He said the excite
ment among the negroes on the sub
ject of emigration had been allayed,
but they are kept in a feverish and
unsettled condition by parties inter
ested in having them leave. Along
i the Mississippi river, where the exo-
I dus fever raged at first, it has pretty
well died out, but in the interior of
| the State the subject is still kept alive,
I though but few negroes are leaving.
“Are any efforts being made to keep
the movement going?” asked the
Post.
“ Yes,” replied the Senator, “men
go among the negroes and persuade
them that are being abused and
robbed r them inducements to
go to lUaw®.
“Some or tliem are moved by pure
cussedness, hatred of the south, and
others make money out of the ne
groes. Railroad companies having
large tracts of land for sale are intcr
| est«d in negroes to locate
upon it. Iw' poor deluded negro
will never be able to pay for the laud
he buys, and these men know it, but
,tilt railroad will get the benefit of
whatever improvements he makes on
the land. Some of them cheat the
negroes out of what little money they
have. A man recently went through
Holmes county selling the negroes
flags with which to stake off their land
in Kansas. This is an old game, but
these poor negroes were deceived by
it. He got all the money they had
and told them to meet him on a cer
tain day at Durant, on the railroad,
and he would have there a train to
take them to Kansas free of charge,
I saw a letter from a citizen of Durant
describing the appearance of the town
and the scenes on the day named for
the free train. The negroes from the
country around flocked to the station,
and the place was over-crowded with
them. Tbay could not. be persuaded
that they hail been deceived, but in
sisted on waiting for the train.”
Senator Lamar said he did not be
lieve that there would be anything
like a general emigration movement
among the negroes; that some would
leave, here and there, and others
would return from the land of promise.
“Should (he negro population leave
the State, could labor be procured?”
“Yes, sir,” replied Mr. Lamar,
“Mississippi would blossom like a
rose.”
In order to show how superior
white labor would prove to colored,
Col. Lamar said he had a white man
employed on his place six months,
and in that short time he had im
proved everything under his charge.
I’bis man had employed his practical
knowledge of farming and made im
provements in the "crop and stock
that negroes would never think of.
Senator Lamar thought that if the
negroes were to ‘exodus’ in a body,
such valuable white laborers as the
one on bis plantation would go into
the State to cultivate the land.

The invention of (hat Superior and
Complete Sewing Machine (the Fam
ily Shuttle Machine), marks one of
the most important eras in the history
of machinery, and when we consider
its great usefulness and extremely
low price (*25), it is very difficult to
conceive of any invention for domes
tic use of more or even equal impor
tance to families. It has great ca
pacity for work; beautiful, smooth,
and quiet movement, rapid execution,
certainty of operation, and delightful
ease, that at once commends it above
all others. The working parts are all
steel; the bobbins hold 1(10 yards of
thread ; the stitch is the firmest of all
the stitches made, neat and regular,
and can be regulated in a moment to
sew stitches from an inch in length
on coarse material down to the finest,
so infinitesimal as to be hardly dis
cernable with the naked eye, and
with a rapidity rendering it impossi
ble to count them as fast as made; it
does to perfection all kinds of heavy,
coarse, plain, fine, or fancy needlc
; work with ease, ami far less labor
tluui, required on other machines. It
needs no Wbtnmendation, the rapid
sales, increasing demand, and volun
tary encomiums from the press, and
the thousands of families who use
them, amply testify to their undoubt
ed worth as a standard and reliable
household necessity, extending its
popularity each day". Agents wanted
