Stock. An Agricultural Journal in
citing various experiments of farmers given
in the Patent Offije Report gives it as the
result of experience that 6 3-4 lbs. of corn
make one pound of pork.
It is therefore assumed that when pork
sells for three cents per pound it brings
twenty-six cents per bushel for corn.
When pork sells for four cents per pound
it brings thirty-three cents per bushel for
corn.
When pork sells for fivecenta per pound
it brings forty-two cents per budiel for
corn.
When pork sells for six cents per pound
it brings fifty cents per bushel for corn.
In Texas we have got this season from
fifty cents to a dollar and a half per bushel
for corn. We have fed very little out to
our hogs. These are mast-fed and our
farmers have received from three to five
cents per pound for them. From the above
statement therefore wc may see the clear
money saved by the Texas' farmer in the
production of hogs which at the North
must be spent by the farmer in order to
fattea his hogs for market. But there is a
similar saving iu raising cattle horses and
mules in Texas "owing to our fine grazing
ou the prairies which lasts nearly the whole
year. The Northern stock raiser must stall
feed or lay a large portion of his farm off
in blue grass &c. We have superior ad-
vantages for stock raising and when we
shall have railroads to New Orleans we will
be able to take fat beeves immediately from
the prairie in fine condition aud in a day
and a half land them in the same coudition
in that city completely banishing northern
rivalry from the market.
8The Gonzales Inquirer says that the
corn is nearly all up and the wheat is look-
ing finely. "The gardens have also expe-
rienced great benefit from these opportune
showers. They arc beginning to aunie a
lively appearance and from the present
state of forwardness we may soon expect
some delicious messes of green peas snaps
radishes lettuce etc. The prospect for a
large crop of peaches this year is highly
promising. We have never seen the trees
so full of blossoms as they are now ; and the
leaves are fast putting out which will in a
great measure protect the young fruit from
any serious injury iu case of any more cold
weather."
Prospects of Crops. Never was there
a winter in Texas in which such extensive
preparations have been made aud are yet
being made for farming as the one just
passed. More land has been prepared for
plapting than ever heretofore. The largest
portion of the corn in this section has al-
ready been planted. We noticed one plan-
tation on the San Marcos river belonging
lo Mrs. Jones a few days ago in which the
corn was up and had from three to five
blades on a stock and the hands were then
plowing the corn the first time. We ob-
serve that the wheat in Guadalupe and
Caldwell counties looks remarkably well.
Fine showers of rain have wuteed the earth
and given much encouragement to fanners.
Upon the whole the prospect for a large
crop is greater than it has ever been in
Western Texas before.- Southern Wittrh-
mun. Productions of Fayette. The True
Issue says : " We believe that Fayette
couuty is capable of growing wheat suffi-
cient for home consumption and apples
and other fruits in abundance whilst as a
stock growing county it cannot be beaten
by the best portious of Tennessee and Ken-
tucky. We can at half the cost grow hor-
ses mules cattli and hogs as fiue as those
States. We have cheap lands and abund-
ant grass whilst our winters are not half
so long or severe as theirs. They have to
pay from $50 to 100 per acre for their
grazing lands and consume through the six
months wiuter more grain and hay to keep
their stock In good condition than is ne-
cessary here to keep them two winters we
mean to keep them as they should be not
as the- are kept."
BftThe Editor of the Pioneer has been
visiting that portion of Freestone county
in the vicinity of Butler. The editor says :
"Suffice it to say that that portion of our
county offers the greatest inducements to
the farmer who is seeking a home among
us than auy other we have yet witnessed.
It is healthy rich ai.d romantic. Good
water and wild game in abundance ; and
affords a munificent harvest to the planter
to the stock and to the cattle; and is just
the place to enjoy "the comforts of a pretty
wife and a happy home."
"A life in the woods for me."
Butler is a small but pleasant place
containing one dry-goods store an M. D.'s
office and several work -shops."
Mr. Hillery Manning has erected quite a
ta6teful structure for a dwelling.
53k.An Agricultural Society for Fayette
county has been formed at Fayette. The
regular meetings are to take place in Janu-
ary April July and October of each year.
Ifc is iutended to encourage improvement in
lauds and stock by exhibitions aud prizes.
eST'Fioar is selling at 5 cents per lb. at
JyViirfieid Freestone county. Here we pay
touch more. In Austin 14 lbs. for a dollar
is the ruling rate at present or about $14
per bbl.

ishing in all the beauty of bursting vegeta-

rything is patting on its most joyous smile
to gire a welcome to Spring. Telegraph.
THE SORGHO
The Sergho sugar cane whatever its mer-
its or demerits as an article for supplying
the place of the present sugar cane is at
least of great value for fodder.
We learn that in this point of view it was
successfully tested by Gen. Rnsk at his
home in Nacogdoches county yielding
three cut'ings iu a season.
We further see that G. W. Kendall esq.
our cotemporary of the N. O. Picayune
has tried it to this extent at his farm near
New Brauu fels. He purchased a small pa-
per in Paris in 1S55 and sent it out to Tex-
as to be planted. Iu May last it was just
out of the ground. During the heavy drouth
of last summer it stood the season while
the corn millet sweet potatoes etc. died
flown to the ground tSonie hogs broke in-
to his field and destroyed the Sorgho before
anything else. It afterwards came up again
and he found that stock were very fond of
it. From the small paper of seed he reap-
ed two bushels of seed and intends sowing
it on a larger scale this season.
Several subscribers have written to us for
information. We think that what we have
already published is about as fair a state
ment as could be made.
Mr. Affleck of Mississippi has tried it
and we think his experience is similar to
the foregoing gentlemen. He rightly ad-
vises experiments in sugar or syrup snaking
to bo left to sugar planters. To ascertain
correctly the quality of Sorgho in this re-
spect tho proper process of sugar boiling
should be carefully adopted.
A Grazing County. The accounts from
Navarro Countv indicate its fine capacities
for stock-raising. '1 he Corsicana Times
says :
" lu speaking of Navarro heretofore we
omitted to notice its grazing advantages over
most of it3 sister countiej. It is admitted
by all to be oue of the best grazing coun-
ties iu the State. Strangers passing through
Navarro even iu the dead of wiuter when
a 1 vegetation seems to be dead are perfect-
ly astonished to see "he innumerable herds
of cattle and caballados of Spanish horses
looking as though they had been stall fed
all their lives. It is hard for a man unac-
quainted with this portion of Texas to be-
lieve it when you tell him that the cattle
ruuning at large upon the prairies in Na-
varro county are fat enough at any season
in the year to make and really do make
most excellent and delicious beef and this
too without one ear of corn. We are in-
formed by old stock raisers that the grass
of Navarro is inexhaustible aud instead of
gettiug worse or more scarce it seems to
increase. To tho.e who wish to rase stock
we would say come to Navarro."
Bhownsville. The far distant Rio
Grande is au interesting spot in our exten-
ded State. The Flay says :
In a short ramble about town we notice
two buildings in j rocess of erection that
would reflect credit and add to any city
one a magnificent church edifice under th?
direction of the Roman Catholic Church
and the other a sumptuous private residence
for one of our enterprising merchants.
The church is of brick spacious and beau-
tiful in design estimated at a cost of thir-
ty thousand dollars and when completed
will be a model of architectural skill reflec-
ting credit upon its builders and adding
a permanent ornament to our young city.
In the country the march of improve-
ment is no less apparent than in town.
New "ranehos" are being opened all along
the river and in many places dense "chap-
arral" the oasis of our prairies is furnishing
material for the strong "coral" of the herds-
men and doves of fat horses uow begin to
browse upon the tender grasses heretofore
nipped only by the wild mustang.
Fine Weather in Northern Texas.
All our accounts from the North show
(hat the pa?t wiuter with all its severities
has been a most healthy and agreeable one.
The Corsicana Times says: The present
winter thus far has beeu a more pleasant
one than we have seen since 1848. There have
been but a very few days of disagreeable
weather and those were more during the
sleet in January which lasted some two or
three days. Since February opened a great
many of our farmers planteo. their corn.
Nearly all the garden seed have been plan-
ted and we notice peas onions radish cab-
bage beets &c already up and in a flour-
ishing condition.
Galveston. Summer is begiuning to
dawu upou us on the island of Galve3ton.
The young grass has already carpeted the
whole surface of the ground. The leaves
of the mulberry and other trees are of con-
siderable size. Irish potatoes and peas are
flourishing in vernal beauty and (he latter
are almost ready for the table. The gar-
dens generally are prospering finely. Win-
ter to all appearances is gone. Christian
Adcocate.
OQji Au immigrant from Washington
county Pa. named McLane has settled
near Corpus Christi to raise stock. He has
brought out with him fine specimens of
cattle aud sheep. The "Nueces Valley"
says :
"He is well pleased with the quality of
the soil its native grasses and general
adaptability to both grazing and agriculture
and has adopted the very commendable res-
olution of planting his grounds largely with
forest and fruit trees and hedges havino-
come provided with seeds for that purpose.
Thus in a few years "while watehing his
flocks and henls" he will find himself in
possession of a plantation costing little
besides his well-timed labor."

Spring in all its richness and verdure

Fruit trees are in full bloom and should
there be no late frosts or cold weather to

peaches &c is very flattering.
Cherokee County. During the past
month the weather has been delightfully
warm without a single frost. The fruit
trees have been long since in bloom and
the forest trees are now assuming their leafy
covering. Farmers have generally made
preparations for planting and while some
have planted others preferred waiting until
the season had further advanced. The
wheat generally is from six to twelve inches
high and looks remarkably well and no un-
toward circumstance intervening the crops
will be very heavy. Enquirer.

ter says :
" Eggs plenty at a bit or ten cents per

rich and flourishing county that the far

sanguine of heavy crops. The wheat crop
is a fine one and there is at least ten times
as much planted this year as on say previ
ous. Falls instead of having to pui chase
her flour from abroad will have a surplus
this year.

The Burdell Murder Case at New
York. The long pending investigation at
New York in the Burdell murder case has
been brought to a close. A New York pa-
per says :
" The verdict of the jury hands over Mrs.
Cunningham and Eckel to the grand jury
as principals in the murder and Snodgrass
as accessory. The result is universally ap-
proved. Since the close of the testimony
another witness has appeared who was wil-line-
to testifv that he saw Farrall on the
stoop of Dr. B.'s house on the night of the
murder and also that he saw tne uoor open
with a man standing in it in his shirt sleeves.
" Dr. Woodward testified that he had tri
ed a duplicate of the dagger purchased by
Snodgrass in .Broadway on a aeaa Doay anu
found the wounds the same in all respects
as on Dr. Burlell.
" The jury considered Helen and Augusta
Cunningham in posses ion of tbe facts of
the murder and that it was the dutv of the
Coroner to hold them for the future action
of the "rand jury. Farrall is also retained
as a witness the city providing for his fam-
ily. " Anonvmons letters have been sent to
the Coroner threatening his life because of
the course he pursued in the examination.
It is understood that the grand jury will
commence with the case immediately."
Scoundrelism. A case of unadultera-
ted character is mentioned in our advertis-
ing columns and occurred in Macon last
week.
The hero one George A. Smith succeed-
ed in "-aining the confidence and affection
of a respectable woman in Macon county ;
married her and brought her here as he al-
leged en route for Missouri his place of
residence. Here while stopping at the
Lanier House he obtained possession of all
her money and persuaded her after much
difficulty to sell her servant a little girl
to save traveling expenses and then pock-
eting the proceeds went out on pretence of
business and has not been heard of since.
The fact is this marrying strangers is not
a safe practice and most young ladies who
think they know the man they wed are apt
to find themselves afterwards to have been
more or less mistaken. Macon Telegraph.

five pounds of the thick part of the leg
three tea-spoonfuls of salt one cf pepper
four onions four leaks cut in pieces.two car-
rotsand two good sized turnipsthree cloves
one burnt onion or three spoonfulls of col-
oring ; set it on the fire ; when beginning
to scum skim it and place the pot on one
side of the Are. Add now and then a drop
of cold water; it will make it clear. Boil
four hours. Bread sliced put into the
tureen and pour the broth with some of
the vegetables over ; ser e the meat sepa-
rate and the remaining vegetables round.
If this simple receipt is well attended
to yon will find it a very good soup and
boullli. If you run short of any vegeta-
bles make it good with others. If no burnt
onions or coloring the soup will be white
instead of a sherry color ; but still it will
be good. In France they always put iu
half a pound of ox-liver to every four pounds
of meat. I am sure they are too good
judges of the water to spoil their soup ;
in fact there the ox-liver costs as much as
the meat sixpence per pound therefore
it is not with a view of saving but to make
it better.
A Remedy for Lockjaw. A corres-
pondent in an exchange writes : " I have
noticed lately several deaths by lockjaw
and for the information of all 1 will give
a certain remedy. When anyone runs a
nail or any sharp iron in any part of his
body take a common smoke-pipe fill it with
tobacco light it well then take a cloth or
silk handkerchief place it over the bowl of
the pipe and blow the smoke through the
stem into the wound ; two or three pipe-
fulls will be sufficient to set the wound dis-
charging. I have tried it myself and five
others and found it gave immediate reliet
If the wound has been some days standing
it will open again if the tobacco is good.
Try it any oue who may chance to get
such a wound.
To Keep Suet. Suet may be kept a
yea' thus: choose the firmest and most

ually ; when melted pdur it into a pan of
cold spring water ; wnen hard wipe it dry
fold it in white paper put it in a linen bag
and keep it in a cool dry place ; when used
it must be scraped and will make an excel-
lent crust with or without butter.

We see it .stated that 31 r. John A.
Washington the present owner and occu-
pant of Mount Vernon has sold to James
Crutchfield of Washington several thou-
sand trees on the Mount Vernon property
and most of them from the hill on which
the tomb of Washington now stands. This
timber is manufactured into canes and a
portion of the proceeds will be used for tbe
purchase of materials for the Washington
National Monument. Vicktlmrg Sentinel.
It is several years ago since we last visit-
ed the sacred shades of Mount Vernon but
we still hare a lively recollection of the
parsimony and meanness of the present
proprietor exhibited in the dilapidated con-
dition of the house and tomb of the im-
mortal Washington. The above specula-
tion we are perrosded has no excessive
share of patriotism at the bottom of it.
Mr. Washington has been trying far year
to awaken public sympathy in order to
drive a hard bargain for the sale of the
estate. Perhaps his present novel idea
may lead to it we hope so for the sake ef
Washington's memory aUeait. Bl. State
