V* When time flies pleasantly it flics swiftly, and thus it is that wo had last week reached our filth birthday ere we scarcely knew it. Casting a retrospective glance it is not necessary to recount the numerous obstacles with which we have had to contend ami the manner in which Uioy have severally been surmounted, until to-day, while but in comparative infancy, wo find ourself smoothly sailing the sea of journalism—of all these hows, whys and wherefores our readers are perfectly familiar. Claiming nothing more to ourselves than an honest effort to d« the most good and the least harm possible for all concerned in the past, on the prin¬ ciple that promises broken arc worse than not made, wc shall pledge noth¬ ing more for the future. In the consciousness of having pleased our readers, as our growing popularity attest, wc find ample re¬ ward ; and trusting our ability to so demean ourself and conduct our jour¬ nal as to continue in their favor and esteem, we shall as best wc arc able pursue the even tenor of our way. OUR POSITION. If a protective tariff helps to build up great and varied domestic indus¬ tries, employs labor at higher wages, perfects and cheapens tho products of the mills and manufacturing estab¬ lishments by a healthy competition, opens large and better homo markets for our farmers, develops our great natural resources, furnishes revenue to our government, helps our natural and industrial independence, enriches and enlarges the daily thought and life of the people—if, we say, these benefits result from It, then wc favor a protective policy, and it is claimed that these benefits do result from it. On the other hand, if free trade is the best policy, why is it that some of our public men do not take occasion to enlighten the people and reply to the argument of Major J. F. Hanson, who challenges contradiction, and who is as hold and ingenuous in his presenta¬ tion of the question as any public man in Georgia. We arc not wedded to any policy, wo want light and in¬ formation, and we arc for every meas¬ ure that will promote the prosperity of the country. NAVAL STOKES FOR EUROPE. From Savannah News, 6th inst. The German bark Othello was cleared for Aberdeen with 3,080 bar¬ rels of rosin, weighing 1,361,710 pounds, valued at $12,440. Cargo and vessel cleared by Messrs. Patcrsou, Downing & Co. Tho Norwegian bark Viig was cleared yesterday by Messrs. Holst & Co. lor Hamburg, with 2,818 barrels of spirits turpentine, measuring 144,- 240 gallons, valued at $45,002.31. Car¬ go by Messrs. Paterson, Downing & Co. Messrs. B. P. Shottcr & Co. cleared tho Norwegian bark Sirrah for Lon¬ don, with 2,100 barrels of rosin, weighing 0&U05 pounds, valued at $0,980, and 1,500 barrels of spirits tur¬ pentine. measuring 76.588 gallons, val¬ ued at $24,000. Total valuation of cargo, $33,980. Cargo by Messrs. James Facie, Jv., ami SL P. Shutter & Co. Bob Ford, the slayer of Jfctso James, is now a waiter in a restaurant. The public is on tip-toc of eager ex¬ pectancy fora definition of ‘•free trade monopolists” at the hands ot those who see fit to so nickname. In our benighted condition as to the benefits that are to accrue from free tratio, wc would appeal to our leading politicians thus bent for light. The tax return, .how that Georgia is the wealthiest ot ilie Southern States. Georgia fa in the leail and «ho means to stay there. _ Will step to „ the front . . and . some one explain the cause of such tardiness on the part of* our free trade statesmen to refute the protcjUvc policy arguments of Major Iiansou. STOCK RAISING. The same obstacle which has been i* 1 the way of every other diversified interest in Georgia—viz: cotton cul¬ ture—has seriously militated against proper attention to raising stock. It is true, stock has been, all things considered, successfully raised in evc ry section of Georgia, not because proper attention has been l/estowed upon them, but because the climate aud vegetation have so favored their growth as to make them profitable in spite of gross neglect. The results given demonstrate the fact that in all sections of Hie State abundant forage crops can be raised for every descrip¬ tion of stock, horses and mules. The results of inquiry made of the farmers in 1875, demonstrated the fact that horses and mules can be raised in Georgia at half what they cost when purchased from the West. Not only this, but those raised in Georgia arc notoriously more hardy and servicea¬ ble than those bred further North.— But little attention has been given to brooding horses and mules, because of the absorbing influence of cotton cul¬ ture, which prevented attention to pasturaf lands. Indeed, Georgia, with the exception of the Northern portion, has always been essentially a planting region.— The difficulties of the labor problem aro now compelling land owners to look to stock as a solution to this knot¬ ty question, since less hired labor is required, and consequently less ex¬ pense and vexation attend it than planting. CATTLE. There has been but little attention given to the improvenrentof the breed of cattle in this section of the State, aud insufficient earc given to the com¬ mon stock. The very large breeds of cattle are not adapted to our section of Georgia, but the smaller breeds—Jer¬ seys, Aryshire and Devon are admira¬ bly adapted to all sections of the State. The cross of the short-horn on the na¬ tive stock docs well, when sufficient pasturage is afforded, but the above breeds all succeed well, cither pure o» as grades resulting from their cross upon the native. In much the larger portion of the State, cattle subsist upon green food throughout the year; in many sections there are cane swamps which afford excellent natural pasturage all win¬ ter; small grain sown early in the fall affords abundant pasturage through the winter, and is not materially in¬ jured by being grazed during moder¬ ately dry weather. Oats, rye and bar¬ ley may be thus pastured if sown in August or September, and yet may produce abundant harvests the follow¬ ing summer. They may be pastured until the middle of February or find of March. The heaviest crops of oats that have been have generally succeed¬ ed winter grazing. Any farm by prop¬ er management may afford green pas¬ ture for stock during the winter. Besides the pasturage wliieh small grain crops afford, tl>crc is no difficul¬ ty in securing abundant crops of cul¬ tivated or natural grass for hay or pasture. The field pea, which grows so luxuriantly on all of the sandy sorts of the primary, cretaceous and tertiary formations, supplies the place of clover, which thrives on the more elevated clay and clay-loams ot middle and northern Georgia. The most valuable and reliable grass, and one which is destined to aid largely in revolution¬ izing the system of agriculture in the cotton belt of Georgia, as well as to renovate the worn hills, is the Bermu¬ da—perhaps the most valuable pasture grass in the world, surpassing in nu¬ tritive properties and compactness of sod, the famous “bine grass”of Ken¬ tucky, haying, according to the analy¬ sis of Dr. Ravenel, 14 per cent of the albuminoids. A Bermuda grass sod, properly managed, will afford excel¬ lent pasture for cattle for nine months and for sheep the entire year. There will be but little demand for dry for¬ age in our portion of the State—such is the mildness of tire climate aud the character of the spontaneous growth, but there is no difficulty in supplying excellent dry forage in any desired quantity and at very small cost. Lucerne, being perennial, is perhaps the most economical for green soiling or for hay, since it can be cut so early in the spring, and so frequently, and ranks so high in nutrition and in soil improvement; but corn forage, the various millets, clover, native grasses, and pea-vine hay, as well as Bermuda grass hay, can all bo saved, aro of excellent quality and in large quanti¬ ty, for winter use, when necessary. Cotton seed, steamed or boiled, and mixed with cut hay or turnips, affords a cheap and excellent food for milch cows. There is no market as yet for | vicinity except ot cities, for but that the produced manufacture in the of butter is very profitable to the ex¬ tent of supplying the demand of nou producers in the Stato. What is known as ‘‘wiicgrass” affords fine spring pas¬ ture in our pine forests, where tho largest herds of cattle aud sheep are kept—little inoic care being taken j than to gather them up once a ycarfor | marking. fcTIEEP. ! There arc few section, of the wo. 14 i 111 " , c x rdiccp can bo lajsml more | proll.aWy than ri*ht here'in Dodge county. hen the va.uo of Bermuda 1 ® grass is appreciated ‘ 1 bv * the farmers, ’ and , „ the thin and , rolling , portions . of their farms are clothed with it—which j seems to have been intended specially J for sheep— Georgia will sustain a sheep lor every acre of territory; aud 37.- 000,000 of sheep would be worth in the aggregate $37,000,000 net per annum near double the present gross value of the cotton crop of the State. Like all other sick, sheep have, thus far, re¬ ceived very little attention, but have been to favored by climate and vege¬ tation as to pay,even under our neglect¬ ful system, an average of 63 per cent per annum net profit on the invest¬ ment—the average cost of raising a pound of wool in the State being only 6 conts, and the net profit on each pound being about 24 cents. Three thousand five hundred sheep of com¬ mon stock, which range on our wire grass without a shepherd, afford an annual profit of 90 per cent, on the in¬ vestment and labor—the latter consist¬ ing only in marking and shearing. Mr. Robert C. Humber, with a cross of the Merino on the common stock, makes a clear profit per annum of 100 per cent, on his investmeet and labor. His sheep have a Bermuda grass pas¬ ture, and receive no attention except regular salting. The sources of pas¬ turage mentioned under the head of cattle, aro equally available for sheep. Only a few experiments have been mado with salting sheep on turnips. Mr. David Dickson herded his sheep on several acres of turnips, and gath¬ ered the next year 4000 pounds ot seed cotton per acre—an increase of 3000 pounds per acre as the effect of fold¬ ing. There has never been a fair ex¬ periment in sheep raising here, com¬ bining proner attention to the flock, a judicious selection, and crossing with a reasonable provision for the best development of frame aud fleece. The indications are that the State Fair, to be held in Macon next fall, will be superior to any held within the past several years.
