The Iberia Baniser reports as follows:

Having occasion to visit some OF the peo-
pie in Fausse Point, q few DAYS ago. we
made it our business to examine the crops
as far as time and opportunity would per
nit. We are sorry to say that the pros
poets. in some instances, were not so bright
as when we last visited this neighborhoOd.
We refer particularly to the cotton crop.
The frequent showers of rain we have had
seem to have injured it some. It was not so
large as we expected to find it, nor were
the bolls so numerous. The corn crop was
looking well, and the cane was excellent.
Preparations were being made for taking off
the crop, while the utmost satisfaction was
expressed, SO far as the anticipated yield is
concerned. We think the farmers next year
will give their attention, almost exclusively,
to the cane crop, while King Cotton viii die
from sheer neglect.

The sense of pain in the mouth
guards the throat in the stomach u
affords warning against improper
food and, in fact, every part of the
BODY is suceptibleof pain, wherever
that sense is necessary to indicate
disease or injury; bat the heart, the
brain, and the lungs, although the
most vital organs, are protected from
injury by the sensibility of the exteri-
OF parts of the body; a high sensein
them is unnecessary, and they are at
NEST inse1sible to it. The heart beats
upwards of fonr thousand times an
hour, and ifthe pain from a diseased
heart were very acute, it would be
sad indeed for the sufferer; bat the
pain from a disease of that organ Is
seldom more than an uneasy sensat-
ion. than more this especially after
violent exertion, being check to un-
NECESSARY action and so far beng
useful. Sudden deaths oftea occur
from disease of the heart; not from
the heara being suddenly diseased,
but from the disease causing very lit
tie pain and being therefore unknown.
The brain, although the source of
sensation, is itself insensible to pain.
The lungs are highly susceptible of
impurities of the air and thus we are
guarded against the inhalation of in
furious gases there sensibiiity during
inflammation indicates the danger
and compels the necessary care; but
they are almost insensible to pain
from mutilation or decay; in such a
case, the sense would be useless and
and an affection. The lungs have
been taken ont without pain, and du-
ring their decay in consumption the
pain is very little.

A New Discovery in Corn.

We find the following in the St.
Louis Journal of Agriculture, cred
tied to that very popular Journal
The discovery may be productive Of
great practical good:
An intelligent and reliable neigh
bor Of ours, who has for many years
been making experiments with corn,
has discovered an importance and
value in replantcd corn which is quite
novel, and worthy Of publication.
We have always thought that re-
planted corn was of very little con-
sequence, but this gentleman says lit
is Of so much consequence he replants
whether tits needed or motor rather
he plants two or three weeks after
the crop is planted, a hill about every
fifteenth row each way" He says"lf
the weather becomes dry during the
filling time, the silk and tassels both
become dry and dead. In this condi-
ton, if it should become seasonablc,
the silk revives and renews its growth
but the tassel does not recover. Then,
for wantiof pollen, the new silk is un-
able to fiji the Office for which it was
designed. The pollen from the re-
planted corn is then ready to
supply the silk, and the filling is COM
pleted." He says nearly all the abor-
tive ears, so common in all corn crops,
is caused by want of pollen, and that
he has known ears to double their
size i'm this second filling.

!. We often hear mothers wondering
Why their daughters are SO indolens
or 20 ignorant Of household matters,
or so carless in their habits. They
complain, and scold, and fret over il,
but they make no attempt to teach
them any better. The fault lies with
the mothers Themselves /; instead of
training their girls to habits of indus
try and neatness, instead Of instruct
ing them in household ways, they
have allowed them 10 grow up with
out any training at all. t,5 p
Girls are not going 10 learn these
things Of their own accord they must
be taught from the time they are old
enough to learn, how to be neat and
Industrious. The teaching Of them
must be systematic, beginning in
their early years; it win not do to
train them a month, then leave them
for three months to do as they please.
Education ia, after all, the mighty
magician that turns every thing into
gold. Mothers, educate your girls to
be neat and industrious, and You will
never have to complain that they are
not neat and industrious women.
Train them carefully in household
ways; teach them how to maze pud.
dings, and cakes, and pickles, and
preserves show them how to be tidy
about q house, how to do everything
in the neatest manner. Teach them
both by precept and example; It is
worth the trouble; for, instead OF
having drones and slatterns about
you, you will have well-trained and
useful helps.

Clover.

In some remarks on the value of
different farm crops, and the best
mode of growing them, the Southern
Ctdtiuator says:
To secure a "set" Or" stand" two
things are requisite LIST That the seed
be covered very slightly, not more
than one-half inch deep; I'd That
the surface soil be rich. The little
seed contains so small an amount of
nutriment that the young plant has
to draw its supplies from the soil al
most from the very beginning, A
third condition should be added, to-
wit: q good stiff soil. A sandy soil
will answer, provided stiff subsoil
underlies it, at moderate depth.
Not less than ten pounds of seed to
the acre should be sown. They
should be we'll mixed with ashes or
1ine dirt, and sown broadcast like tur-
nip seed. 1t requires much care to
get them regularly distributed, and at
this point failure often begins. They
may be lightley brushed in, or press
ed in with a roller, or left to be bur-
ried by the rains. We tried the last
plan a year ago and it succeeded adj
mirably.

We are inclined TO think that more
farmers fail In being what they wan
to be, or in having what they want TO
have. through want of enterprise, than
for the lack of any other requisite. In
industry and frugslity there is proba-
blv 20 Grass that equals them. The
money gained by honest toll in the
field. is seldom wasted in the wine
cup or on the gaming table. They
work hard and long. and scrupulously
save their earnings; still, 'compara-
lively few become wealthy, and with
those few the wealth acquired is ordi-
narily the work of lite time.
This comes, we think, chiefly from
alack of enterprise--fr0m being over
cautious about entering into any
branch of farming operations that has
not been thoroughly tried. tested and
declared safe. The old adage,
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. !"
is exemplified in the lives of ninety
nine out of every hundred farmers.
MANY men select farming rs an oecu-
patton for the reason that they are too
cautious to embark in trade or i'm any
kind of manufacture. They think
there is little chance Of losing any
thing in managing q farm, and they
want to lie on the safe side.
These are the men who become
farm plodders. They are SO highly
conservative that they may be classed
as old fogies. They never plant new
variety of seed till it has been raised
SO long that it has begun to deterior-
ate. They never venture on raising
new crop till some more enterpris-
ing men have produced enough of It
to supply the market. They hesitate
ten wears before they set out hop
field, and just as it got ready to bear,
the price of hops went down. These
men, if they followed fishing, would
never drop a line into hole until
some one else had caught all the fish,
or if they were trapping, they would
never set snares or bait traps till all
the game was captured.
A certain degree of caution is good
thing; but it is quite as bad to have
TOO much of it as too little. For eve
ery farmer who loses by showing
some enterprise in raising new crops,
sowing new varieties of seed, or in
branching ont into some new line OF
farming, there are hundred who
keep themselves poor by always turn
ing round in the same old ruts. 1t is
not to be expected that al new things
will nav in farming, any more than
they do in other kinds of. business
but some of them will pay, and these
will compensate for what has been lost
in experimenting with the Others. AS
rule, man thinks better of himself,
and his neighbor thinks better of him,
if he has the courage and enterprise
to strike boldly out into some new
undertaking, that promises well, even
if he fails in it, than they do if he sitt
contentedly down and only does the
things which his father saw his grand.
father do.-Pratrie Farmer.

Care or the Teeth.

The too early loss OF the first teeth has
an unfavorable influence upon the beau
ty and duration of the second. The
Youngest children should accordingly be
made to take care of them. All that is
necessary is to brush them several times
day with little ordinary soap or mag
nesia and water.
Grown people should clean their teeth
at least five times in the course OF "a
hours, on rising in the morning, and GO
ing to bed at night and after each meal.
A brush as hard as eau be borne without
pain, should be used, and the best Of all
applications is pure soap and water, al
ways lukewarm.
After eating, all particles OF food
should be carefully removed from the
teeth by means Of q toOthpick of quill or
wood, but never of metal, and by thread
passing now and then between the teeth.
Tooth powders are injurious both to
the enamel and the gums. and if employ
ed, every particle OF them should be re-
moved from the mouth by careful rims
ing. The habit which some women have
of using a bit of lemon, though it may
whiten the teeth and give temporary
firmness and color to the gums, is fatal to
the enamel, rs are all acids. No one
young or old, should turn the jaws into
nut-crackers; and it Is DANCE: GUS even
for women to bite Of, rs they often do,
the ends of thread in sewing. 1t is not
safe to bring very hot food or drink, es-
pecially if Immediately followed by any
thing cold. in contact with the teeth.

Farmers.

Adam was farmer while vet in Par
adise. and, after bis fall. commanded to
earn his bread by the sweat of his brow.
Job, the honest, upright and patient,
was a farmer, and his endurance has
passed into a proverb.
Socrates was a farmer, and yet welded
to his calling the glory of his immortal
philosophy.
st. Luke was farmer, and divides
with Prometheus the honor of subject
ing the OK for the use of man.
Cincinnatus was a farmer, and the
noblest Roman OF them all.
Burns was farmer, and the Muse
found him at the pillow and filled his soul
with poetry.
Washington was farmer. and retired
from the highest earthly station to enjoy
the quiet rural lite, and present to the
world spectacle Of human greatness.
To these names may be added host
of others who sought peace and repose
i'm the cultivation Of their mother earth ;
the enthusiastic Lafayette, the stead
fast Pickering, the scholastic Jefferson,
the fiery Randolph, all found an Eldora-
do of consolation from life's cares in yer-
dant Lawns that surrounded their home
steads.
