EGYPTIAN CORN.

Several months since we informed our read
ers of the prolific qualities of the Egyptian
Corn. 1t surpasses all anticipations, and is
just the article needed in this country. To
think that an acre of land can yield $50 bushels
of good corn, and particularly when two crops
eau be gathered in a year, seems to be so ex
asgeratea that it requires the many indorse-
ments of the Press in general, and the best
and most reliable men VI Virginia to give it
full belief.
We have received some of the corn from Mr..
Lindsey. The sample is a beautiful one.

ty' A friend just returnel from lower
BAYOU Bout informs us, that the crop IN
that once garden district of our Parish is
far more promising than it has been at tins
time any season since the war.
The planters profiting by the experience
of the past two years have planted large
crops of corn, sweet and Irish potatoes, end
but small crops of cotton. The season Sc
far has been unusually favorable, the plan
ters arc cheerful and hopefLl, and the freed
men, disguised with politics and mass meet
ings, arc working far better than in past
years.
Taking into consideration the promising
prospects for a crop, and the good will with
which the freedmen are working, he feels
that there is "liCe in the old land vet and
that this fall will witness the gathering OF
such a crop as will go far towards restoring
confidence and cred t in our Parish.

% We had the pleasure of a call
yesterday from Major Ross Wilkinson
lately the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in the Fifth Congressional District.
The Major was a soldier Of the wal on
the Union side, and is now the most ac-
tive of soldiers on the same side, on the
peace establishment. He gave us a very
graphic account Of Che progress made IN
Caddo and Bossier in organizing the col
orel people for the Democracy. He
thinks those parishes now perfectly safe
for the Democratic party by the colorcd
vote alone, and predicts, if like good
management and energy be displayed
in other parts Of the State, that the Pres
idential vote can be carried by 20 to 30,
600 majority.
The Major is evidently a practical
man, of whom We wish we had many
more, who sees what the situation 49,
what kind Of soil is to be worked and the
tools needed to wolk it, and is not dis
posed to sit down in idleness and come
to starvation because he cannot have
better. No! He seizes the pllow han
die, gives a lively gee haw to his mule
team and goes on, turning over the free
soil furrow and planting the seed OF De-
mocracy where lately the tares of Radi-
calism only grew. He thus shows us
how we can prosper politically as well
as materially, in spite of carpet bag man

Benefits Of Clover.

Clover is one of the principal means of the
farmer to renoyatc his farm and to improve
his stock.
In Europe and the Eastern States the most
is made of it, and it is found to be used to va
rious advantages:
1t is a rank grower.
Will grow upon poor soil with the aid Of fer
tilizers, particularly plaster.
Draws much of its strength from the atmos.
phere.
Fcrtilizcs the soil by its long roots.
Abstracts strength from the subsoil which is
out of the reach Of the grains and the grasses
Mellows the ground.
Produces two or three crops of good hay in
q season.
Furnishes abundant pasturage.
Is excellent to turn under and iertlllZe the
soil where manures cannot be uscd-as where
the distance is too great to carry it, or the land
inaccessible, as on uplands OF steep ascent.
Is sure crop.
No grain, no plant, will do so much. Hence
it is grown, where it is fully understood, and
grown continuously and abundant4ly.
The West is adapted to it. Its rich, deep
under soil is lust what is wanted for the long
reaching tap roots Of the clover. Hence the
abundance in which it is grown; where cultiva-
ted three crops can be readily grown in sea-
son of the medium sized, or two crops, aud
the third be left as winter protection, to be
fed off to some extent where rank This will
prevent washing Of the soil, and will greatly
enrich it and protect it. But the soil must be
dry or drained, so that no heaving takes place.
Two crops Of clover, set thick and grown
rank, will afford large amount of hay and if
cut early. when the stalk is tender and the MI
TRENT properties are held in solution, will
afford hay unsurpassed 1t will afford
greater flow of milk than perhaps any other
plant; at least this is the experience so far as
we have been able to ascertain. We cannot
urge too much the Importance of clover as hay
cut, be it remembered, the right time, else
it is comparatively worthless. This is now the
experience of the dairy districts. We have
seen its virtues tested, and VIC know whereof
we speak.
The best time for sowing is early in the
spring on the light SHOWS that sometimes oc-
cur Less seed may in such cases be used
say two to three quarts less, as the track In
the snow will enable the sower to scatter his
seed evenly, and commit no errors.
There is considerable diversity OF opinion as
to the amount of seed to be soWn to the acre.
Some SOW peck, some twelve quarts, some
half bushel, and some more, while less than
eight quarts is scattered by some. The greater
quantity is the safest and the most successful
