The Convention in tlie act providing for the establishment of a Department of Agriculture also directs that the General Assembly shall "enact laws for the ade quate protection and encouragement of rfieep husbandry." In order lx carry out this last provision there are now several bills before the X-egislat ure. As the mat ter isone of great interest to a Jarge num ber pf the citizens of this State the follow ing facts collected mostly from the reports of the Department of Agriculture in Geor gia are presenteTTtfiismoniing in as con densed a form as possible. . The average annuatprofittra capital in vested in sheep is OS per cent. a marked difference letween the profit of sheep rais ing and cotton growing. The average cokt of keeping sheep is 54 cents per head per annum. - The average cost of raising wool is six cents rer nound. The average yield of unwashed wooL to the sheep is 3.44- pounds. The average clear income in wool per sheep is 94 cents. Ninety per cent of the correspondents report dogs the principal and generally the only obstacle to making sheep husbandry a success. There are 99, 415 dogs in Georgia who destroyed in one year 28,025 sheep, valued at $73,- 852. Ninety -eight per cent, of those who Lave tested xrosses in Georgia, report the merino and native as the most pro fitable, being healthy and free from dis eases. One hundred sheep, regularly folded, will fertilize so as to double the yield of the crop on eight acres a year Estima ting the number of sheep in this State at 250,000, this will double the crop on 20, 000 acres, and if these be planted in cot ton will give an increase of 10,000 bales, equal to $500,000, at $50 per -bale. Sfnl of Bermuda grass (closely resem bling our wire grass) on lands unprofita ble for cultivation, will support five sheep to the acre for nine months in the year. Bermuda grass will grow on almost any land, and if Bermuda ami wire glass were properly utilized for summer pasture small grain used for pasture during win ter, and a supply of turnips for spring. North Carolina could sustain 4,000,000 sheep, thereby largely increasing her agricultural products by" converting much wasting vegetable matter into a supe rior fertilizer worth several million dol lars. Labor is the vexed question which 6tands in the way of thesoution of every other problem in Southern agriculture. At present all the marketable products of Southern farms are made by the employ ment of -expensive human muscle. Under existing circumstances neither brains nor capital, nor both combined, can sufficient ly control labor to render it icither relia ble or profitable ; the large introduction of sheep as laborers or manufacturers of wool or manure, will, to a great extent, diminish the demand for human labor, and increase its efficiency by bringing it under better control. One great difficulty of agriculture in this State is the fact that the product of a considerable portion of the land in cul tivation does not pay the cost of cultiva tion j all such lands can be made 'profitable and gradually improved by converting Jthem into sheep pastures. Sheep hus bandry offers a wide field of usefulness independence, and profit, and thousands of acres of land now idle and' an expense to their owners-will be rendered profita ble if the, proper encouragement be given to thjs grealy industry . The following bill has been reported, to the Senate from the committee on Agri culture, Mechanics, Mines, etc., with re commendation that it pass : "A Bill to be Entitled An Act foh the Better Protection of Siieei v Husbandry 5 fhe General Assembly of North Carolina da enatc: '.- "Section 1, That the justices of the peace, of any county, a majority being present, for the purpose, of affording a suitable protection to sheep husbandry are authorized to levy a tax on all dogs. , 4,'Sec. 2. That where any county in the State shall levy a tax on dogs in accor dance with section one, of this act, the tax so levied-and collected shall be paid into the county treasurer for the benefit of the j common school fund of such county. ffSpc. & This afct shall bo in force from and after its ratification." A bad, bad boywas picked up by his ma, the other night, for some misdeed and 2 tanned wjlth her slipper until he thought he was standing right in the way of a shoemaker's shop caughfin a cyclone. Wbeii lie got away at List, he was told to idt'down and learn a verse in his Bible, before he could have a bit of supper, and when he was called up to recite he said: "The, wicked's tanned in slippery pla ces," KEEP A, -FEW SHEEP. We have urged our Southern farmers to add a few sheep to the list of ' stock '.. kept upon the farm, firmly believing that they will bo Tound exceedingly profitable. We know they are profitable, and haveproven the fact by the strong test of experience. In the South," a given number of sheep, properly handled, will double in numbers each year. Then, the fleece is, equal m value to the cost of the. animaL inns we have two hundred and fifty j?erf cent, of increase, .from which should be deduct ed, say fifty per cent, for food and shelter during the winter and the labor of shear ing and selling the wooL Will our form ers please tell of any other crop tnac pays a net profit of one hundred and' fifty per centT -' But the profit of sheep husbandry do not end here. Sheep can be pastured on worn out abandoned lands, care being taken not to overstock. These pastures soon show a new life, and, in an incredi bly short space of time, become recupera ted. The best crops we ever saw were raised on an old sheep pasture, without further fertilization. The care necessary to the successful raising of sheep is not extreme. Any la bor connected therewith is extremely light, except, perhaps, the few days of shearing. This is somewhat laborious to the "green hand," but a little practice soon makes the task" 4i . pleasurable one. Sheep soon learn their keepers, Tind if they are properly taught, they love and obey them. We know of no more beau tiful sight than to see a flock gathering around their keeper, anxious to receive attention from his hand without exhibit ing the slightest fear. We can not again too strongly urge our fanners to keep at least a few sheep. We will not insist that they shall be of the fancy varieties, though there is doubtless more actual profit from one of the improv ed breeds than from five common ones. But the common are better Jhan none, and when the farmer has become satisfied that it will be a profitable investment, he he can add a pure-bred ram and increase the value and actual profit of his flock foully one hundred per cent. We need this kind of stock upon our cotton killed lands. We must have some thing of the kind to prevent large tracts from becoming almost literally deserts Louisiana Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and other cotton States can raise sheep as well and as profitably as Texas. Our cli mate is superior, and our markets are near our own doors. Wool can be raised cheaper than cotton, and as both are in request throughout the civilized world, why. may we not take advantage of the demand and profit accordingly ? Son of Soil. SAGACITY OF THE HORSE. Bayard Taylor has an article in the At lantic Monthly on animals, from which we take some anecdotes relating to the horse : It is a very common observation of per sons who own intelligent dogs, that if they happen to describe to a vistor some faujt for which the animal has been scold ed or .punished, in the latter's presence, he will exhibit an uneasy consciousness of what is said, even sometimes quietly slink away. Bat the extent to which a horse, also, may be taught to understand speech, is not so generally known. The sim ple fact that he likes to be talked to makes him attentive to the sounds, and I am convinced that in a great many cases he has an impression of meaning. I have at present a horse who served his country duringthe war, and came -to me only af ter its close. His experience while on scounting service made him very suspic ious of any gray object, as I 6oon discov ered ; he would shy at a fallen log in a thicket a glimpse, of mossy rock, or a laborer's coat left in a fence-corner. By stopping him whenever this happened, and telling him, in an assuring tone, that there was nothing to fear, he was very soon completely cured of the habit. But he still lifts up his -head, and would, if he could, cry "Ha !" ha !" when he hears the sound of the trumpet. I have a horse who is now not less than 41 years old, and it is possible that he is a year or two older, for 33 'years. ago he was ! broken to use. He is at present on the retired list, only occasionally being called upon to lend a helping shoulder to his younger colleague; but his intellect is as fresh and as full of expedients as ever. No horse ever knew better how to save himself, to spare effort and prolong his powers ; no one was ever so cunning to Slip his halter, open the feed-box, and supply phosphates, the necessity of which to him he knew as well as any "scientist." I have seen him through a crack in a board shanty used while the stable was building, lift and lay aside with his teeth six boxes which were piled atop of one ; another, until he found the oats at the bot tom. Then, when my head appeared at the window, he instantly gave up his leisurely, luxurious munching of the grain, opened his jaws to their fullest extent, thrust his muzzle deep into tho box, and gravely, walked back to his stall with at least a quart of oatsih his mouth. This horse had a playful habit of snap ping at my arm when he was harnessed for a drive. (I always talk to a horse be fore starting, as a matter of common politeness.) Of course I never flinched, and his teeth often grazed my sleeve as lie struck them together. , One day, more than a dozen years ago, he was in rather reckless spirits and snapped a little too vigorously, catching my arm actually in kis jaws. I scarcely felt the bite, but I Was very much surprised. The horse, however, showed such unmistakable signs of regret and distress, that I simply said, MNever do that again !" - And he never did ! From that moment, he cave un the habit of years: he laid back his ears, or jieignca anger m other ways, but he neTer I again made believe, to bite.' This, cer- tainly, goea r far i beyond the temporary sorrow for an unintentional injury i jrfiich may be referred to on animal's affection. What else is conscience than knowledge of wrong made permanent by a imemory which forbids tho repetition of the wrong! In the company of a friend, I was driv ing the samel horse along a. country road in a light open buggy. I paid no atten tion to the horse, for he could turn, back, or execute any other manoevre in harness as well without as with a driven v Halt ing at a house where my friend wished to call, I waited for him outside. Presently the horse looked back at me, twisting his body between the thills in a singular fash ion I perceived that, he had some, com munication tf make, andleaiWlia is the inatter njwBenrl .Thereupon, by twisting a little more, he managed to bold up his right foot, and I saw that the shoe had been lost. "That's right," said Ij "you shall hare a new shoe las soon as we get tothe village." He set down his foot, and for a moment seemed satisfied. Then i r ; i. . V 1 f . . the same turning of. the head and twisting of the body were repeated. "What, Ben is anything else the matter T" I asked. He now lifted up the left hind foot, which was still shod. I was quite at loss to un derstand him, and remained silent. He looked back at me out of the corner of Ids eye, and evidently saw that I was puzzled, whereupon he set down his foot and seem ed to think. Almost immediately he lift ed it up again, and shook it vigorously. The loose shoo rattled ! There was a positive process of reasoning in this act, and is too simple and clear to be inter preted in any other way. THE WAY LIFE INSURANCE COM PAXIES CHEAT THE WEST AND SOUTH. Our readers know that wo never had much confidence in Life Insurance Com panies, and as many of them are failing, we copy the following article showing how some of the Yankee Companies have fooled Policy-holders in the South and West : Char. Democrat. From the New York World, Feb. 13th. Before Referee Butler yesterday, in the Continental Life examination, S. U. Ham mond, ex-agent for the Company, living in Cincinnati, testified : "Mr. L. W. Frost, (President of the Continental) was in California with me, remaining there about three months'; I went there in September, 175, and re maiued until February, 1870; when Mr. Frost went there in October, 1375, I was instructed to buy up all the outstanding risks of the Continental ; I had received from Mr. Frost a list, and succeeded in buying nearly all of them, ami inducing some of the other holders to take out new policies; I paid in orders upon II. H. Blake, the Coast agent of the Co." "What inducement to sell did you hold to the policy-holders ?" asked Mr. Moses. "I told them the Company was insol vent those were my instructions from Mr. Frost; Mr. Frost told me. that the Com pany was in great need of money ; that many of the policies on the Pacitic coast would be due in alxmt-twd years, and they would be unable to pay them ; as an illustration permit me to cite a case ; a party holds an endowment policy of the Continental Life Insurance Company ; that policy, from the time it was drawn out, has increased in value, so that now it is worth alnmt i3,(HX) ; in two years more it will be worth $5,(XM); well, if I represent to the person holding the policy that the Continental is insolvent he will, in all probability, accept my oiler for a release $100 or $200; the Continental thus saves nearly the entire amount that they would have to pay when the policy would iK'Coine due $4,800, for instance, out of $o,000. If they would not sell, I ex changed 'time' policies for endowments.' A 'time policy' is one that is drawn out for twenty years. During the first ten years it steadily increases in value, while during the last ten years it as steadily de creases. My instructions were, if I could do no better than to secure a consent to an exchange, toive the policy-holder a 'time policy,' without telling him what the transaction amounted to. Tho limit that he was allowed to pay on a policy, Mr. Hammond said, hi accordance with Mr. Frost's instructions, was 50 per cent of the reserve due, but this he did rarely, very often paying much less than that. For his services he got $5,000 a 3 ear and ex penses and a commission of 10 per cent, making between $20,000 and $40,000." "Did Mr. r lost ever tell vou how much he made out of this!" "Well, lie used to come to my office and say: 'lhe Company made so much to day.' I recollect on one day, when he had made that remark, far he made it on different occasions, turning to him and asking hint, Who is the Company V He laughed and replied, 40h ! myself and my associates,' or words similar in -"meaning. 1 was merely an Agent ot the .Cummin v. and obliged consequently to do whatever 1 was requested to do. It scared the peo ple terribly. I knew the announcement would create a panic among the nolicv- holders of the Continental, and so it did ; and I knew at the time that the Compauy was perfectly solvent, because Mr. Frost assured me that all he wanted to do was to relieve the Continental of some of the risks outstanding against it. The amount of risks extinguished in California by this 1'iiiu as luuy ?,"uv,uuu. Aeany an the policies were drawn in favor of married women, and had to be signed bv them be fore I would give an order for the amount. 1 never saw the persons in whose favor the policies were drawn, but only the persons who had drawn the policies. These lat ter I induced to bring the policy to the former for their signatures. I knew this latter course was contrary to the law, but didn't stop to consider that point. I work ed to get the policies any way and every way, anu 1 got them. Mr. make objected to buying up the policies on account of the small sum which I offered for them, but after a private conversation with Mr. Frost he entered enthusiastically into the work." Mr. naramondalso stated that the value of the policies when he first undertook to buy them up, July, 1874, amounted to more than $2,000,000, and succeeded iu pulling it down to $000,000, the Continen tal thereby saving $ 1 ,500,000. The panic which followed his announcement to the Southern policy-holders of the Continen tal, Mr. Hammond stated, was terrible. On all sides curses and imprecations were hurled against the Continental. The Government of Alabama had shortlv be fore dismissed the Agent of the Company IT from the State, and, he then came out in a circular, in which he bitterly inveighed against the "freezing" process adopted by the Continental. Mr. Hammond affirmed that every Life Insurance Company in this city plays the same trick on its Southern and Y estern policy-holders when it finds itself in a strait for money. He had also "trozen" policy-holders in Omaha, Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio, but not with such success as in California and the Southern States. He made the negotiations for reinsuring the Continental in the Southern Lite In surance Company of Mobile, although he knew at the time that the latter Company was almost insolvent. "It was none ot my business," Mr. Hammond said ; all I had to do was to find some Compan3T fool enough to give bonds for the Continental." His salary was $7,500 per annum at nrst, butU was afterwards raised to $10,000. Mr. Hammond further testified that it was the intention of the officers of the Continental to send him through tho Eastern States in January of the present year. ' HISTORY OF WESTERN CAROLINA. NORTH A correspondent, Rev. E. F. Rockwell, of the Statesville American, says : "Dri J. G. Ramsey, of Tenn., who was a refugee in Mecklenburg during tho war, says, in a letter to a citizen of this -county, a relative of the late Rev. R. II. King, who was a native of this county, and died in Tennessee in 1825." "Mr. King wrote some for the periodical press ; and I have seen a large body of manuscript sheets! -upon the history of Western North Carolina, especially upon the Catawba Indians. These were left with his brother Samuel King, Senator from Iredell, mem ber of lower house of North Carolina Leg islature nine times, Senator in 182G, and died August 1340. They ought to be preserved." Whoevt-r saw them here, or knows what become of- them ?
