ciciit carp the losses which npcrue
frojn .1 ill 1 keeping of poor stock.—
This, applies to all the varieties of
domestical animals, hut especially
to cows. A cow is the most costly
animal tokeep.of all the farm stock.
• E kept because of the valuable
11 producttof milk and blitter. But
" one that produces half a pound pf
butter a day will cost as much as
one that produces three times as
, much. The better eow may cost a
little more originally, hut its pro-
• geny will cost no more to rear than
that of the poorer one, and the feed
and cai'e will be the same for
both. The difference may seem
. small when the daily quantity is
• considered, hut the yearly differ-
Vence is very large, amounting to
. between one hundred and three
hundred and fifty pounds, for the
.better cow ; will not only yield more
' but.will produce it longer. A cow
fjiat yields only one hundred
pounds of butter, worth twenty dol
lars in a year, is kept at loss of at
least ten dollars, while one that
yields two hundred and fifty pounds
•pays a profit of twenty dollars, and
one that produces three hundred
pounds pays thirty dollars over and
above the cost of keeping.
The difference in a heard ofv20'
cows is an income of $41)0 a year is
to one of .$1,200. It is sufficiently
large to make all the difference to
1 tire farmer’s family between pov
erty and wealth. And yet there
are thousands of farmers who have
been content to ramain in this con-
• ilitipn of poverty because of their
unprofitable stock,-year after year,
without making an effort to relieve
themselves from it. The way out
Of it-is not difficult, and if a start is
once made the rest is easy. All
that is then is required is time, and
• to let the thing run itself along.—
. This is to select the best one has,
if no better can he procured, and to
breed the cows to a better bull,
choosing one from a more produc
tive a pure breed animal of
almost any kind will
make a good start in the
way of improvement, and when
this is oiiee undertaken progress is
made continually.
sounds were more audible. A
playful remark that i;> should
‘•strike her” caused a sensation like
a slight snook felt by eliss Wimber
ly about the face. The sound was
then caused to-manifest itself where
commanded about the bed, and
the bed finally commanded to move
and to the inteiise wonder of the
occupants, rolled briskly across the
room. This phenomenal circum
stance, it is claimed, led to subse
quent experiments. We were told
by witnesses that oh a particular
occasion recently while the young
lady was laying with her form
on’the bed, she thought of some
favorite, air when its musicjemanat-
ed strangely from the head-board
of the lied, and was heard by more
than a half dozen persons sitting
about, the room. On another
occasion, an uncle, a man above
the ordinary weght, sat in a chair,
his feet on the rounds, while the
young lady placed a hand with an
under grip on the upper hack of
the chair and lifted him a distance
across the floor. Other feats of the
young lady as strange almost as
those related, might be mentioned,
but the above are enough to
complete a story of her wonderful
powers. The writer, in relating
these, does not do so to merely
make a sensational article for these
columns—but with a view to
gathering from dame Rumor's float
ings, to place before our readers, the
facts as they exist. We have given
an account of our observations. We
have given an account alsojof the ob
servations and experience of othcs,
relatives of the young lady, and peo
ple of the neighborhood, possessed
of intelligence and a skepticism
regarding the unreasonable to a
degree rightfully exempting them
from the imputation, even, that
might lie contained in the
asserted fact that people
sometimes deceive themselves.

By What Power?
unusual sensation has beeu
created in the Collardtown neigh
borhood in this county, by the feats
inexplicable of a young daughter of
Hr. Wm. K. Hurst. Rumors being
afloat of her performances, in
company with Dr. M. F. Liddell, we
visited her home on Thursday
evening last, for the purpose of
giving the readers of tire Adver
tiser some account of what our
investigations of the matter might
develop.
In a large square two-story house
built after the ante-bellum South
ern idea of comfort, set well back in
a.grove of oaks running up to the
big, road, dwells Mr. Hurst. We
wdi‘e 'kindly received and made
known our mission, and soon were
gratified by the appearance of the
young lady. Miss Lula is between
fifteen and sixteen years of age,
the picture of health and physical
strength, and in every movement
shows a dash of nature unusual.
Upon a request to manifest some of
her newly developed powers, she
arose - anil'placed her two hands on
the back of a common chair. In a few
minutes the eliair began to move
first slowly then gradually more
Violently. Tlie doctor was requested
to hokl the chair. In attempting
to do so he found the task entirely
too great, and was. -joined by the
writer, but the chair, nevertheless
s.till moved, when Mr. Hurst
reinforced us, to apparently no
better effect. In fact, with all force
at our command used on the object
the three . found it impossible to
of every ifityk restless chair, and

It is often said of this or that man
that he is a self man—that he was
born of the poorest and humblest
parents, and that with everyobsta
cle to overcome he became great.
This is a mistake. Poverty is gen
erally an advantage. Most of the
intellectual giants of the world i
have been nursed at the sad but :
loving breast of poverty. Most of j
those who have climbed highest on j
shining ladder of fame commenced ;
at the lowest round. They were 1
reared in the straw-thatched cot
tages of Europe; in the log houses
of America; in the factories of the
geat cities; in the midst of toil; in
the smoke and din of labor and the
verge of want. They were rocked
by mothers whose hands af the same
time were busy with the needle or

times twenty thousand persons anxiously

ever he found three trees growing there

He meant to say that all the people, all
over the laud, in every town and every
village, love their favorite paper, and
that their liking for it was dee]) rooted
