The failure recently of several of
the great cattle companies of the
Western plains, caused by the ul-
most complete annihilation of their
herds by the umiHiially severe
weather of last winter, would seem
to indicate that the cattle raising
business in that region, on the im
mense scale attempted by these
companies, involves too much risk
to induce the further investment of
capital. The cattle ranch business
iu that cold climate will probably
decline, giving place to the raising
of cattle in comparatively small
herds, which may receive attention
during the winter months from
their owner.
This condition of the business in
tlie reglou that has been looked
upon as the great beef reservoir of
the country, if not of the world,
naturally directs attention to other
sections where cattle can be profit
ably raised, and which are not sub
ject to the extreme climatic condi
tions which have proved so disas
trous.
There are many reasons to believe
that the natural seat of this Indus
try is in the Houthern Htates. Here
there Is no loss from winter’s cold,
lands are cheap, native grasses are
abundant, running streams numer
ous, and every year the means of
speedy and cheap trans|H>rtation to
market multiply, in many parts of
the .South lands suitable for cattle
raising can be bought in large tracts
at almost nominal priccH, and that
they should lie devoted to such u
purpose rather thau lie idle is much
to be desired, but it is as an adjunct
to other agricultural business that
most must be expected from the In
dustry. Under such conditions the
Indirect as well us the direct re
turns may lie large.
Notwithstanding that all the
conditions uro favorublo for cattle
raising, it Is true that the South
does not now supply itB own needs.
Because of the want of proper at
tention to breeding and the care of
animals, the demand for the best
quality of meats cannot be supplied,
and to a certain extent the beef
markets of the larger cities are in
the North. The breeds of cattle,
however, are being steadily Improv
ed, and with increased attention it
is not probable that It will long be
necessary to depend on distant
sources of supply.
There Is a great future for tills I
dutttry in the Houth, and when
proper degree of attentlou Is devot
ed to it, it will aid greatly in bring
ing about the state of general pros-
perity of agricultural iuteresta mi
loug looked for but so tardy in nilk-
lug Its appearance.

Canning I'lirlnrl,, In Ih. Houth.
Baltimore MumUm-lurer.’ Itoconl.
I Hist week, ill answer to several let
ters of enquiry, we gave some facts
as to tile opening for canning facto
ries In the Houth. To Illustrate what
can be done In this line it may be of
Interest to give a little Information
regarding the development of the
canning business in Botetourt coun
ty, Virginia. Keveral years ago the
late Mr. J. C. Moo maw, of that
county, determined to engage in
in canning peaches ami other fruits.
He had just purchased a farm on
credit from ills father's estate, and
was without tlie meaus necessary in
fruit canning except on the very
smallest scale. At first he gathered
the fruit in the morning, his family
prepared it for canning nnd then he
put it up ill the cans. Hoon lie found
it necessary to employ a few young
girls in the neighborhood to assist
In peeling the peaches. As the de
•mind for Ills goods Increased, lie
enlarged his operations and prepar
ed for the futurebyeettlngout large
orchards, and devoting much of his
farm to raising tomatoes and othc
vegetables suitable for cnnnlng.
At the start Mr. Mooniaw had
everything to discourage him, and
his early struggles to make a sue
cess of tills business so entirely new
to him and new to his section were
very hard. His farm on which the
canning factory was located was
way out In the country many mile
from even a small town, nnd ns for
advantages lie had none, except
that lie owned a farm on which there
was a fairly good orchard. But
when the writer had the pleasure of
meetiug him twoorthree years ago
lie had then made n great success of
Ills cunning factory, was financially
well otr and was u leading spirit Ih
the development of that section
having taken nil nctlvo part In
building up tlie prosperous town of
Roanoke.
It was comparatively but a few
years ago wlieii Mr. Moomaw start
ed Ills small canning factory In his
own dwelling, and yet his success
was so great that others were stim
ulated to follow Ills example, and
now there are fourteen canning
factories in Hint section, giving
employment to hundreds of hands
nnd furnishing u home market for
immense quuntitles of fruits, toma
toes and other fruits and vegeta-
Ides. What Mr. Moomuw did hun
dreds of others throughout the
Houth cuu do.

JULIUS L. MACK, |* - - - Manager*
A Rockland (Me.) paper tells the
story that a Rockland lime vessel,
being followed p big shark on a
recent trip, one of the crew, after
the flsh had been feeding on gar
bage thrown overboard, took a big
lump of lime and threw It at the
fish which gulped itdown instantly.
Tbe lime at once began to slake and
the shark thrashed about iu terrible
agony and Anally died.
Kcarlet Fever.
Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid is un
equalled in the treatment of Hcarlet
Fever. Used as a gargle it prevents
the throat from'beoomlngdiphther
itic, allays the inflammation and
subdues tbe pain. Used to sponge
the body it allays the itching in
flammation of the skin and destroys
infection.
Exposed in the sick-room it will
prevent the spread of contagion,
and keep the atmosphere whole
some.
Mouth*™ I’rmaed Hay.
Houthern Cultivator.
How many of tlie renders of the
Houthern Cultivator remember
Hel|ior's "Impending Crisis,"
hook that made not a little stir in
the unhappy days that preceded
hostilities? In this book It was
shown thut the gruss crop of tlie
North exceeded iu value the cotton
crop of the Houth. How long will
It tie liefore the grass crop of tlie
Houth exceeds iu value its cotton
crop? Not very long, likely. Manu
facturers of hay presses unite In say
ing that their Southern trude is in
creasing with astonishing rapidity.
One manufacturer, who lias been In
this business for almost thirty years,
recently told me that he had sold
six times us litany presses iu Texas
this year as lie sold in that State
last y-ar. The trade In these presses
is increasing almost as fast In other
Southern Htates. More hay presses
are being manufactured iu the
Houth. That auy part of the Houth
should raise so much buy that it had
considerable surplus for other
markets, would have seemed im
probable twenty-five years ago; yet
tlie demand for presses shows that
many Southern localities are rais
ing more hay than is needed for
home consumption.
The farmers of the Houtli ought
to reduce the area given to crops.
This would enable them to manure
their crops more highly aud to give
them liettcr cultivation, thus insur
ing better returns. In large arcus
under cultivation, tlie ex|>enseM in
crease at a more rapid rate than the
profits; and where there is a failure
in a crop, planted ou a large scale,
the consequences are, of course, far
more disastrous, and uiueh more
difficult to recover from.
