tic flock, and my experience with the
different breeds of sheep. I have been
breeding sheep for the last ten years, and
have tried nearly every variety of the im
proved breeds, for the purpose of testing
for my own satisfaction, their relative
merits, and finding out which was the
most profitable breed, and have spared
neither trouble nor expense to procure the
best of the different varieties, which I have
watched closely, and after giving each a
fair trial in every form that I could devise,
the experiment proves to a demonstration
that the Merino is decidedly the most
profitable breed for this region. The long
wools and South Downs are no doubt val
uable breeds in some localities, but my
experience with them shews their utter
unfitness for our latitude, on account of
their predisposition to snuftles and catar
rhal diseases, from which the Merino is
comparatively exempt The}’, like the
other, will take cold when much exposed
to inclement weather, but not to so great
a degree. But they are rarely seen with
foul noses, arc very hardy and thrifty and
yield a much more valuable fleece, both
as regards weight and price per pound,
than any breed I have tried.
I have a small flock of a very rare breed,
known as the African Broad Tail, which I
obtained from a flock in South Carolina,
(the only one I know of ii the United
States) fo; ;xs:iy.cvnKd by the late CoL
Richard Singleton and bred from several
importations made by him from flic Coast
of Africa, by crossing on the common
sheep; they are remarkably hardy, and
seem to be entirely exempt from snuffles,
and while other sheep are driven to the
shade, by the heat of the sun, they may
be seen grazing with impunity', apparently
suffering no inconvenience from the verti
cal rays of a summer sun. The}- yield a
good fleece of coarse wool, which they will
hold until shearing time, (which most of
other breeds will not) I left one unshorn
last spring to see if it would carry its
fleece two years, and it shows no signs of
shedding, and notwithstanding it has an
immense fleece, it has not seemed to suf
fer from heat When bred pure, and kept
very fat, (as they are apt to be, if they
have half a chance) the great weight of
their tails, offers a barrier to the back, but
this may be obviated by a little manage
ment I regard them as an excellent cross
on the common sheep, but for all purposes
I would give a decided preference to the
Merino as the breed suited to the wants
of the people of the Southern States. They
seem to adapt themselves to any latitude,
and I believe will do better and grow lar
ger in the Southern, than the Northern
States, and as a large flock sheep, they
have no rivals. Some object to them on
account of the fineness of their wool, but
it seems to me, that there can be no ob-
ouglit qyer to be, and perfectly healthy,
while the South Downs, were dying with
various diseases.
We now have three small flocks of Me-
rinoes in Cass, viz., your own, Colonel
Sproull’s and mine, and I hope to live to
I and Mexican guano, in the Spring. I sowe<
it in clover, one gallon of seed to the acre.
I had a good crop of wheat the following
summer, and a good stand of clover, and
the next summer I had a perfect mat of
clover, two feet high, which fed my stock
to fatness. In August I fallowed it up,
and about the first of October sowed it in
wheat; the crop of wheat was five to six
feet high, and as thick as it could stand,
see the day when their number will be , and the land was greatly improved,

show of improvement, the Merino cross is
decidedly the most valuable, increasing
the quantity and improving the quality of
the wool, and a few crosses will bring the

From the Sonth Countryman.
Rev. Hr. Best’s Letter.
Editor of the South Countryman :—In
accordance with your request, I send you
a few facts in reference to the mode of cul
tivating the soil cast of the Mountains,—
especially in Maryland and Pennsylvania,
where a greater improvement has been
made in the soil, and larger profits derived
than in any other part of the country,
with which I am acquainted.
For forty years or more, the farmers in
Pennsylvania, and the upper parts of
Maryland, have steadily increased the val
ue of their lands, and the yield of grain,
by deep ploughing, clover and plaster.
There are two modes of cultivation in
use, the one is to put Indian Corn in the
same field every fourth year—say corn in
the Spring, on stubble ground, and follow- 1
ed by cither wheat, rye or oats, and clo
ver seed sown in the month of March, or
last of February. The year following it
rests in clover, and becomes pasture for
stock of every description. In the month
of August it is followed with a large two-
horse plough, and in the proper time is
sown in wheat, and then followed by com.
The second mode is to put the same land
in com every third year. Corn, one year,
followed by small grain, and then clover.
From these modes there is no departure
by any good farmer; their lands keep up
with this treatment, and have done so for
forty years. To increase the value of
their land they manure. The first in val
ue is lime, fifty bushels to the acre, spread
broadcast on fallow or ploughed ground;
the reason for this is, that lime Wing
heavier than soil, sinks. This treatment
is repeated every fourth year, and when
the lime has a crop of grass or clover to
decompose, a much greater yield may be
expected. With this system of liming,
and the use of clover and plaster, the lands
have been made to yield three or four
hundred per cent above their natural state.
I have known a section of country,
where there is, in my judgment,-* portion
of mad in the soil, brought up from pov
erty and broom sedge, to a high state of
cultivation in a few years by nothing but
deep ploughing, clover and plaster; these
lands thirty years ago scarcely made com
for home supply. I have been told by the
best men of the neighborhood, that in a-
bout three miles square, 10,000 bushels of
com were annually purchased for their
wants, and now they sell from the same
place, about 80,000 bushels, and make
nearly as much tobacco as before. Their
lands are now valued at from fifty to one
hundred dollars per acre; the same lands
thirty yews ago would not have sold for
ten dollars per acre, and these are well
attested tacts. The whole country for
forty or fifty miles around Baltimore has
gone up four or five hundred per cent.,—
and yields an income equal to that esti
mate; these results have come raider my
personal observation.
I have now to say that the saute preju
dice existed in Maryland for a number of
years, that prevails here, in reference to
deep ploughing, and the use of clover and
other grasses; but it has been overcome,
and thealuost universal effort is to plough
as deep as possible, and vegetation of some
kind is turned under as a manure. The
doctrine that
So far as my observation and experience
goes, I think we need large ploughs, and
much deeper ploughing in Cass county,
to get a stand of grasses, and certain crops
of corn, especially in dry seasons. I find
the soil very tenacious two or three inch
es below the surface; when the com roots
reach that point they cannot strike deejier,
hence they are exposed to hot suns and
dry weather, and soon show signs of suf
fering. To prevent this, let the soil be
broken up six or eight inches deep, or
more, and we shaU find a remedy against
the effect of a dry season.
As to whether clover will grow here, I
shall try it by sowing every month in the
year, before I will give it up, and if I fail
then, I shall try it with lime. I have sent
for Timothy seed, which 1 intend to try,
and hope with good success. If I can get
good meadows, I shall sow much grass,
•and have good stock. \
Respectfully yours,
-tl. BEST.
Joad Raised on aa Acre.
The amount of humaTrT^grj^^ can be
produced upon an acre is woi^v./ of great
consideration. One hundred bushels of
Indian com per acre is not an uncommon
crop. One peck per week will not only
sustain life, but give a man strength to
labor, if the stomach is properly toned to
that amount of food. This then, would
feed one man 400 weeks, or almost eight
years!
Four hundred bushels of northern po
tatoes can also be raised upon an acre.—
This would give a bushel a week for the
same length of time; the actual weight of
an acre of sweet potatoes is 21,344 pounds,
which is not considered an extraordinary
crop. This would feed a man six pounds
a day for 3557 days, or nine and two-
thirds years!
To vary the diet, we will occasionally
give rice. This has been grown at the
rate of ninety-three bushels to the acre
over an entire field. This, at forty-five
lbs. to the bushel would be 4185 lbs. or
at twenty-eight lbs. to the bushel, when
hulled, 2604 lbs. which, at two pounds a
day, would feed a man 1302 days, more
than three and a half years!
Upon reflection, it is not very wonder
ful that so many non-producers are able
to find food, when we sec how many
mouths one laborer can till.
American Agriculturist.
Editor of the Constitutionalist:
Sir : The extracts from the communi
cation signed “ Chattooga,” which appear
ed in the Dalton Times, of Dec. 23d, and
your comments upon the same in the Con
stitutionalist of this morning, requires
prompt notice at my hands. Not having
previously seen, or even heard of the com
munication signed “ Chattooga,” I am in
debted sol cly to the Constitutionalist of
this morning for all knowledge of its ap
pearance. I now take the earliest oppor
tunity to eorrect a misapprehension of the
writer of tliat communication in regard to
myself, lie says:
“ It is a significant fact that the gentle
man to whom the Constitutionalist belongs,
is an aspirant for gubernatorial honors.”
This is not the tact. I neither aspire to,
seek, or desire any thing of the kind. I
ask no position now except tliat of a pri
vate in the ranks of the Democratic party.
It is true, that, in 1857, I did desire, for
personal reasons then existing, but wliicli
exist no longer, the nomination of the
Democratic party for Governor; but it
even then would only have been accept
able to me if freely and cordially tendered.
I was unwilling to take it, or even aspire
to it, at the hazard of the harmony of the
part}’, or of angry collision among the
friends of rival aspirants. In this spirit
my name was announced to the conven
tion, and in this spirit was it withdrawn
by my friends. They acted, and acted
properly, in pursuance of my letter to the
Richmond delegation read to the conven
tion.
Thus ended my aspirations for gulierna-
torial honors.
I emphatically disavow all efforts on
my part, and all connection with efforts
made, or which may be made, to influence
the Democratic party, or any member of
it, for or against any particular person for
the next nomination.
If any obstacles exist, aF-l&sgr-j-fr/wdiL lightening the world as

ing. I make the same remark with refer
ence to any and all other gentlemen who
may possibly be aspiring to a nomination ;
it being my purpose to hold entirely aloof
from all contests of that kind, should they
arise.
The course which you may sec fit to
pursue in this matter, it Is for your own
untrammelled judgement to decide, under
the obligations resting upon you as an ed
itor. Had I supposed you capable of be
ing swayed by any other influences than
a manly spirit of independence, and a con
scientious regard to duty, you would not
have been invited to the jiost you now oc
cupy.
It was my pride, during the many years
I was editor of the Constitutionalist, to
conduct it in the spirit of truth and can
dor, without favor or affection towards
cliques and cabals, and with a view sing
ly to those great and permanent interests
of the country which I conceived were in
volved in the destinies of the party to
whieh I was attached. I expected and de
sired you to conduct the paper in the
same spirit. I take pleasure m saying
that thus tar these expectations have not
been disappointed.
You will bear testimony that I have not
sought to use, in the slightest manner, my
position as proprietor of the “Constitu
tionalist,” to trammel your free action. It
is quite consistent with the contract be
tween us that we may differ in minor
questions involved in party action, and in
France and the Porchaa* of Calm.
The telegraph informs us that the for
eign department of the French govern
ment expresses some surprise at President
Buchanan’s recommendation of tbe pur
chase of the Island of Cuba by the United
States government; and this surprise is
augmented by the fact that the American
Minister had been notified that France,
with England, would not tolerate the
transfer of Cuba to the United States,
even irith the consent of Spain.
If such is the official language of the
foreign department of France, it may well
excite the indignation of the American
people. Well may wc ask ourselves, are
we prepared to “ tolerate” such interfer
ence in our domestic affairs, on the part
of the crowned heads of Europe ?
Many persons doubt whether the pur
chase of Cuba is a practicable idea at
present; and many doubt whether the
people of tluit island would consent to be
transferred’ to this, or any other govern
ment, if the question were put to them for
their suffrages; but even if such should be
the fact, we are not to be dictated to by
foreign powers, as to what cararse we shall
pursue in the affairs of this continent; nor
shall be deterred from “ extending the
area of freedom” by the threats and men
aces of those powers..
If there is anything more than sound
and fury in our declarations of adherence
to the Monroe doctrine, the time is fast
approaching when wc shall be called upon
to prove onr forth. Already, have our
ships been subjected- to outrages upon the
high seas; already has flic fertile centre of
our continent licon covered l»y the flag of
a foreign protectorate; already has the fiat
gone forth that an acquisition of addition
al territory by purchase, will not be toler
ated. Arc wc prepared to submit tamely
to all this ? No; there is yet a spark of
patriotism burning in the bosom of the
American people, which the accumulating
wrongs of time are tast foaming into a
flame, whieh wifi soon burst forth, en-

The island of Cuba, blooming with all
the perennial beauty of a tropical rlimc
flourishing with ali the profusion of a fer
tile soil—situated almost within sight of
our shores ; and commanding, Gibraltar-
like, the entrance to the Mexican Gulf,
is certainly an acquisition every way de
sirable to the government and people of
the United States. Possessing, as it docs,
a government, which, though it has pow
er to inflict injuries, has none to giTe re
dress, has become a source of serious an
noyance to the diplomatic relations exist
ing between the United States and Spain.
Standing at the entrance to the Waters of
the Gulf, it would provide the most ample
means of security and defense for the
southern frontiers of the Union, and una
ble us more effectually to enforce the
Monroe doctrine. Having a soil and cli
mate of extraordinary richness and salu
brity,- in- many portions of it, advantages
are held out and inducements offered to
the husbandm** and the cotton planter ;
and- finally, its adaptation to slave labor,
and its maintainance of the “ peculiar in
stitution,” make its acquisition still more
desirable, especially to the people of the
Southern States.
Such are some of the reasons which
would induce the people to desire, and
the government to endeavor, to purchase
the island of Cuba. But it is the richest
gem tlurt glitters in the coronet of Spain ;
and hence we doubt whether she would
be wi.ling to part with it, but for an enor
mous price. That a majority of the cre
oles of Cuba would consent to the trans
