Editob: As you know, I am not a frequenter of Ihe State Fair I do not know one aort of Bffricultu ral products from another, and am too Mind to know my friends when I meet them out of their accustom ed places. But I have been a Very regular attendant of the meeting of ( THE STATE AQRICtTLTTTBAt, SOCIETY. held each night of Fair week, and have rarely failed to pass a pleasant and useful evening. Dropping in at the meeting on Tuesday night last, I found the Society wrestling with the diffiulfc.' problem1 of JLing" Lits oflSces." As tlieso bffice3 ax& without salary the difficulty of tne problem grows yearly greater, and it . was so long of solution this year, that I f tared i my usual entertainment would fail me. But it was at last solved, and I was much impressed with what followed being . A KEW YIEW. of an old and important subject that it has occurred to me to mate a report of it for the Observer. . ;: The election of officers done with. Col. Heck said thtt he saw ia fit' en dance tbe .first President of the So ciety since the war, under whose ad ministration it was revived from utter prostration and, started o& its successful career Dr. Battle, now President of the University. He felt sure that the members woule be glad to her from their ex-Pre'-ideDt; now a Vice- Pres dent of the Socie- ty. - In responce to a genera' call made at this suggestion, - " ' PBESIDEXT EATTI.S. state.l in sulstarjt e thaf i e l ad not, corutemplated beting called on, but as it p;)arG.l to be the wish of niFttluR tt; hcarfiOmj Lim, te won d offer a few e lieges tin lb on the subject of i . : , - . : SHtEP-BilSINO. j ' All agreed as : to the importance of thia iudualry of our people. , As ate economical food supply, ss a means ot. securing a chtap home made fertilizer, as a means of utiliz ing much gras and othr herb ige on the plantation which would other wise run to waste, in fine, as a soun e of profit from . fleh, wool and ma nure, the best farmers of tbe mfet advanced agricultural sections.' plave sheep-raising in the frout rant of the industries. ; f Many sections of North. Carolina are peculiarly adapt ed to it. There is no section where it would not aid greatly in the sup port of the laborers. and isa prove ments of tbe land. - j ' THE CHIEF OBSTICLB. ( usually considered as insurmounta ble, is th6 existance of great num bers of doge, more or less worthless Maby people have abaudoned 6hecp in dispair on account of this obsticle. Mr. Battle admitted the evil to some extent. He admitted moreover. tUe impossibility of . getting rid of the evU. Our people will not under any argument surrender their dogs, They have their good uses, keep down foxes and other which would without them increase to a degree formidable to poultry and sheep as well. And the lonely cottager, ia a secluded spot, remote from neighbors, - often a timid wo man would feel defenceless at night without her faibf ul dog1; to protect tbe premises, and at least give warn ing of the approach of danger. We may persuade ourselves - as much as we please that they should all be ex terminated, but any act of Assmbly passed with this view would meet with general condemnation; and would speedily be repealed.' Tne question is then can sheep be raised notwithstand.ng the dogs? f; v 1 In deciding th.s question we should enquire what other people do and have done, who now. raise, and have for ages raised, sheep success fully. Let us examine the methods of Oriental nations, of Great Britain, of Spain, Italy, of Australia, of South America. ' , . ".-'. j .:;.v. . We find that saefp a ways and everywhere have enemies, from which they must be guard d. j They are timid, foolish : and defense ele 3 creatures. ; They need the care, tha oversight, the protection pf j man. Wherever they get these, they flour ish : wherever they are neglected they come to nought. , All through the Bible, and in the , literature of Greece and Borne, we find proof , of this. - They animals . . . A BHEPHEBD. '- watches -over - a-jd defends them. Christ used a melaphor well appreciated- by his hearers when he called himself the Sherpberd and his dis ciples . his sheep. And David did not give up the ra'sing of sheep be cause a lion and a bear came out of tbe woods to devonrj them. : No, he forgot fear then and slew their'1 wild beast enemies J" Grant that we have, in ITorth Carolina f ormidab: e foes in the shape of vi'e hounds and "curs of low degree ;" they are no worse than the wolves and foiea and jack als, not to mention" the lions and tigers and bears, of other countries. Even ' if every dog in our - State should be slain, ' OTHEB EKEMTF.S ! . would spring up, such as foxes and prowling human thieves ; and the careless farmers would be grumbling over new evils, as sbeepless as ever. .In order to rais sheep success, fully, especially on a -large scale there should be a shepherd, whose whole attention sh ould be given to the sheep: He should ' become an expert He Bhould understand their diseases and the causes. He should iave an eye on them by day r and sleep near enough to them at night to be always ready with shot grin in haud to protect them from danger: -Tbisr could be nannged by having them driven up to tbe farmyard at evenins'. and bv havinar house for the shepherd so light that it cauld ba hauld bv oxen- from one part of the plantation to another. ' - , - The speaker called attention to the nlan of DrottCtinff sheeiv- fouad verv efTectaal in South America and elsewhere. It is mentioned-"-' in-'- the -Vovase of a Naturalist, - .written by the erreat Charles Darwin; who gives nhiloaonhical reasons, ' founded- on rrincioels of human and Xcaniae na ture, for its success. A' new born nnopv. he sars. is taken mi'ihence- toward 8"rrearated from other dogs. is jiob allowed. W play, with - puppies inor even children. A ewe' is held for him to suck throe, or - four timet a day. He sleeps upon a ne3t of wool in the ebeepfold ; he is never to associate with any j animals but sheep ; Jirj is castrated: He thai grows no with tha affections of sheep Iwith out. losing the courage of the doer. Indeed i he' becomes - more courageous because he feels the sup-f port of Ms asKociates and moreoverf in his faithful nature xs the instinct to stand up for his feeble ' friends. It has bean we!l paid thst an army if hares with a lion comrr.a-iding, is stronger than an army of liOi.s with a hare as their general. So onr dog becomes fi rcer because of the army of eheep at his b ick. .There is AN JTHER, CUHIQXJS AM) VALUABLE BE- , ' ' SCLT. - , Other animals are afraid to as e ail the dog, while snpporte l by hw fol io wars. Darwin aya that a whole pack of hungry wild d-ga will sc ircely ever, (some some say never), attack a flock gu trdad by even "one of these , f uth'al . h -pi' rs. lie comes t;i the'-dweTlin;" boase. f-r his meat a-''d asaoon a it is given he akikilc. wyas if, as'HTied of j him U a ftfr d of ever? ether dog When, ho u p trs'ic i he will run to flock j iv til ? ut-uost ter ror.

They in vest the whole flock with the at tribute of their IeaJ'.-r. ; Tiiey see bf jre them in angry defiance not one, bat, in fancy, a murderous band of augy dogs,; aad their courage quails. They dare not attack. v A flock with such a dog jean be left all day to iiseif." "He will uefehd them from any. animal, not human, and will do his best: : . ; AGAINST MAM." To guard against the latter there should be a humau defender. If a shepherd be not employed the sheep should be penned at night near enough to the farmer's house for him to be aroused by a disturbance iu the folds PuitingbeUs on some of the rams would aid in this. The, combined noise of a barking, dog and jiDgling bells should arouse anyi careful man from the deepest slum ber.. - ' ' L ! ' ' : : ' .. .--" . ,,. MAXCRING. . -j To sesurajthe be9t results in manuring very light: lands-,' perhaps it is best to pen tiie flock at different places on the farm. ; , : r I YEEY LIGHT LAND would thus be benefitted, not only by the droppings but the packing of the earth by eharp hoofs. The Eng lish plan of hurdles was , recom mended for making moveable fences, i. e., panels made of two upright staked with sharpened ends project ing 18 inches below the cross-pieces. Between the stakes are woven long twigs of Willows. These - can . be easily propagated alorgthe branches or on river hanks," And grow ' very rapidly, making twigs 15 or 20 , feet long, light, pliable and hard to break. Panels made of these could be easily carried wherever needed, and when the sharpened stakes or j posts -are tbrust into the ground, would make a pen strong enough to ! ecmfiue sheep. Th" patent movea- j b'e fence jof plank . would answer, bu is too heavy. The speaker has grown the -variety ' of willow known, us "gold?n" aad knows that i fulfills ; the required condidoil. ; ; - Pi'tsidi nt Battle 'urge 1 ths moai- bera to try the plan recomaiendtd for : " ''"."- -! :V "RAISING A SHEPHERD DOG. : '"'.' ' It 'would require soma trouble, of course, but not more than is ;needed for traming ofcber dogs. No hunter expects his setter to find the covey, ;poiut them, &cr; without previous mr.g. It is better to ootaia one jof the breed of sheep dogs, bui it is Bnot essential. The only advantage is that, on account of their inherited fuistinct, tbey are inoie easily trained than others. But an animal of any good courageous breed wilb answer. 4Anv active farmer;; who loves ; his work can find time jlo carry - out the plans. He must guar 1 against his charges, while young, injuring the lambs by ' too much L playfulness. Indeed this is about the only d fficul ty in the way. The plan is not mere theory. It is constantly in use in South America" and elsevhere and has been for years. ' What other men can do we can do. The. dog can easily be taught to bring the flock heme at night.1 The true way to meet the evil of mean', fcheep etealing dogs," i? to use against them the noble qualities ; of faithfulness and courage and affection of good dogs. . .
