Tho rapid lnereace of ttoek raising, and ol

Mobile, October 37.—Having recently returned
homo, after a long abeence, pressure ofbnalness
matters has prevented an earlier reply to your es
teemed farorol the 16th lust. In reply to eome
of yonr qncttlonv, I would lay that my limited
experience In farming makes me very poor an.
thorlty on that subject. While my fondneis for
stock raising and farming has Induced ms to glrs
some attention to both, yet tha far greater portion
of my time Is claimed by other matters ot business.
My most recent experience In farming has been
In Calhonn county, Ala, nur Anniston and Ox.
ftid, which section Is about tbs tamo latitude ns
that of Atlanta. Tha soil Is red day mixed with
sand.
Of the grasses, I have given more attention to
red and whits clover and orchard grau u being,
In my Judgment, better adapted to that aeetlon.
Ot these three the red clover is beet lotted tor
miking hay, bnt all three well adapted to (ruing.
Both white clorer and orchard gram will tarnish
lata graslng in tha fall, and early grating In the
spring. Tho white clover will taka complete pot-
ae salon of the land, crowding ont everything alas,
except, possible, leeptdlga. Ae to the number of
cattle a given number ot acres will carry, depanda
largely upon inequality of theland and the stand
obtained. Good land well toddod, ought to cany
five grown animals to every ten acres.
There are many other grasses well adapted to
the aoll ot Alabama and Georgia, iuch aa inoerne,
burr clover, red top, etc.
Many tarmere fall In their efiorte to grow
grasses because oi improper preparation ol
tho eoll.endA failure to realise that it requires
good land to make good grasa as well as good cot
ton or good corn. Indeed, It tee waste ol grass
seed to eow them In poor land, or ertn moderate
ly good lano, poorly prepared.
Then, again, many lumen are Impatient and
sot Willing to wait, lor it takas time for graasaa
to attain that fullneu ot growth end nchaese
that we ell ao much delight to tee.
While my experience V limited, I have had
enough to dearly tee that the exclnslre
attention to cotton end corn, to the neglect
of the gtusee, la Impoverishing our lands; and
making onr lumen poorer, and servants to the
lender of money. Ifetock end gnu raising bo
a hobby ol Tub ConrrrtmoB, It can indulge In
none that will eventually redownd to greater
good to Ita constituents. I have written hastily,
bnt am willing to contribute my mite to thenobls
cause yon espouse. Very truly yonn,

Tho Annual Sopors of the Comtnluloner to
Utah.
WaSEiKCTOir, October 31.—The Utah com-
million, through ita chairman, Alexander
Banney, hae submitted to the secretary of tho
interior their annual reports, upon the trans
actions and proceedings of tbs commission
since November 18,1884, the date of their lut
report. The report begins with tha statement
that the nans 1 revisions of Utah registration
lists lor the present year were dnly and thor
oughly mads by oflicara oi the
beard and that general electiona were held on
the 3rd of August lut. No person living in
tha practice or polygamy it allowed to register
or to vote, nor was any aueh person elected,
or commissioned to any office—this point
therelora bu been so surely reached, aaya tha
commission, that tha name of a polygamist
can not now ho ionnd upon the the register
iiata,; and none oi this ciua are now
holding office. Nevertheless, it is true that
nearly ell the officers chosen at the lut and in
the preceding electiona are Mormons who,
while they do not actually live in polygamy,
subscribe to tho doctrine of nolygamout mar
riages as a divine revelation, a Taw onto all,
higher and more binding upon the conscience
lhan any human law. A notable exception,
however, occurred in Summit county,
where the entire non-Mormon ticket,including
the memb.ri.ol the houae of ropruentatiru
endauembly,wu elected. Thii representa
tive was tho first non-Mormon eleoted ter
many years.
Tha commlsiion refers to the recent decision
of the supreme court in polygamy cues u •
timely and valuable interpretation of tho lew.
It it believed tbatthere hove been very few
polygamous marriages during tha present
year, bntitia not regarded u prudent to look
upon this lactaa indieatlng anything more
than a suspension of tho practice resulting
from a vigorous enforcement of tho law and
not aa an actual surrender occasioned by a
general and decided change of sentiment re
garding the doctrine Hull. Indeed, it ie be
lieved that if all operations by the commie-
•ion end cnnrle under the preient law eheuld
ceue, or even ii a halting, hesitating policy
were to take the place of tbo vigorous ono
now in forre, it is altogether probable that
pluriri marriagoi would again bo come general
Firm altitude ol the government and the
feltlilul execution ol the lew austemod by the
public aentiment have exerted in the poet
year repressive influence upon the Mormon
people, never before experienced by thorn,
•irco their eitabiishmenta in Utah. The re
port pays high tribute to the aeel and suo-
cere ol the present ofiicert of tho federal court.
Eighty-three indictment have been found
fer unlawful cchabitation, there have been
twenty-threo convictions and forty- three
catet now awaiting trial. The commission
replies at tome length- to the
allegations mado by the defenders
of polygamy that prosaoutions
under the Edmund! act are directed eolely
I gainst those who maintain polygtmoua reta-
01), and that the alleged aexual diroleetioa
by other persons era not investigated. Tha
harden of their rejoinder is that the law wae
not directed agalnat tbo individual lascivious
practice! but against the aiaault by tho Mor
men church upon tbo monagamy system.
Tho commfaalon ronowa all recommenda-
lions contained in tha senate bill, 1283, whioh
failed at ptsrego in the boneo lut eeeaion,
and in their report of lut yoar ami
submit the following additional recommends
tlon;
That tho term of Imprisonment for unlaw-
ful cohabitation boextended to at least two
yean for the fint and three yoars tor tha sec
ond offenso; that all persona bo excluded by
law from making locations or settlements up
on any partoi the lands of tho United Stotea,
who shell refuso or demand to take the oath

that he (if a man) dooa not oohabit
with more than one woman in

laws of tha United States, or (If a woman) that
