sitnated. and commanding sundry fine
prospects. is not 50 particularly fertile as
some we have seen--requiring scientific
culture and liberal system Of manuring
to induce an abundant Weld. So far by
way of explanation.
Once upon Il line our friend. being on a
short visit TO New Orleans, was attending
an auction sale down town, and il SO hap
pened, they were selling damaged sausayes
AT the time. There were some eight or
ten barrels Of them and they were Just
going al fifty cents a barrel, when the

ness. remarked that they were worth more
than that TO manure land with Here

auclioneer. Cash lakes them at sixty Two
and a half cents per barrel
To have them shipped TO his county seat
was ihe immediate work of our friend, and
as i! was hen planting time and the sau-
sases. TO use common phrase, were
getting no better FAST TO have them safe
under the ground aud out Of the way was
! tie next movement. He was about to
plant field OF several acres OF corn--the
soil f Tie plny woods species--so here
was ust the spot for this new experiment
IN agriculture, this new Wrinkle in the
science of geoponies. One link Of sau
sage being deemed amply sufficient. that
amount was placed in each hill. accompa-
Med by The usual number Of kernels Of
corn and AN occasional pumpkin seed and
all we're nicely covered over in the usual
sly.e
Now, after promising that several da, s
have oc .urred since the corn was planted

a;alog~e between our friend aud one Of his
aei.hbors

experiments
N.--'Why. what was the mat,er?'
F.-Matterl the first Thing saw. before
reaching the field. was the greatest lot of
dogs digging and scratching all over it.
There vas my dogs. and your dogs. and
all the neis shbor,' dogs. beside about three
