Louisiana has increased her manufac-
turing interest in the ten years from
1860 to 1870, over two hundred per cent.
from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900, being
now the second largest manufacturing
State in the South, its increase being
nearly double that of any other south
ern State.
A correspondent of the Canandaigua
Times recalls the price of farm products
there in 1920: Pork weighing 300
pounds brought $3.50; wheat and white
beans per bushel, 81 cents; corn %
cents; potatoes 123 cents; butter 6
cents eggs s cents; chickens 2 cents.
A correspondent of the Western Rural
gives the following sensible cure for hol-
low horn In addition to a feed twice a
day of good clover or timothy hay, give
the afflicted animal from four to six
quarts of corn meal daily, and the hOl-
low ''in horn" will take care of itself.
Mr.. Andrew Coe established the
manufacture of superphosphate in this
country in 1845, making them wholly of
bones and Peruvian guano, after treating
the bones with sulphuric acid. He es-
tablished the value of superperphos-
pilates, and his name is still used as a
guarantee of good quality.
DR.. Voelcker says: ''The result of
actual experiment in the field demon
strated that an artificial supply of pot
ash was not favorable on most heavy
clav soils, but was essential on poor
sandy soils; while on the latter purely
heterogeneous manures rapidly exhaust the
land, and the produce also becomes in
ferior in quality.
Eastern farmers little appreciate the
attractions of cultiyating the soil in the
far west. In Iowa, for instance, the
sons of toll are fighting the potato-bug,
cut-worm, wire worm, grub-worm,
army-worm, gopher, ground squirrel,
mice. rats, meadow-mole, caterpillar, cur
culio, black-bird, mischievous neighbors
and rambling stock.
1t is hard to tell which is the greater
Ounce, the farmer who works entirely
from what he reads, or he who does not
read at all. Agricultural papers are the
true educators of the farmer in that
which is new, and he who combines cur
rent literature of the agricultural press
with his own practical experience, is
necessarily the best farmer.
A writer in the Poultry Bulletin SAYS
he puts small quantity of carbolic soap
in solution under the wings and on the
breast of the hen as soon as she comes
off with her brood, and repeats the APP
plication once week, and thus prevents
gapes, which disease, he claims, is caus-
ed by the larger species of the louse
which lays its young in the chickens
mouth
w. ]. Nicely reports to the Rural
World that he raised five acres of man
gel wurtzels last year, which yielded
about 81 tons per acre. His hogs were
very fond of them in the fall. If other
food was scarce, they would eat them
tops and ALL Mr.. J. S. Tibbitts, of
Michigan, fed his hogs sugar beets last
season, and thinks them valuable for
that purpose.

Shingles.

n correspondent of the New England
Farmer tells what he knows about shin
giles in this way
Il would say that after 36 years ex-
perience in erecting and repairing Old
buildings, and after trying all the differ
ent materials in the market on my own
roofs, / have decided that the most eco
nOmical roof, one that will remain tight
the longest term Of time for the smallest
sum Of money, is one covered with a
low grade Of shingles "but of sound
lumber" | lay sixteen shingles five
inches to the weather, joints well Tapped
and two nails to each single, driven
about one inch from the edge, | take
this quality of shingles and soak them
in lime water before laying, in the fol-
lowing manner-take a mOlasscs hogs
head, put in one bushel of lime, fill half
full of water and let the lime slack put
one bundle of shingles into the lime at
time, and let it remain five or ten min
utes if bound loose, if bound tight it is
better to cut the band. The lime pene-
trates through the shingles very quickly,
and in this way will soon dry off and be
fit to use. | prefer this way to lime
washing roofs after they are laid, for the
reason that whatever is put upon the
outside fills up the joints, to the course
above it, forming dam at each joint
which keeps the water back, My eX-
perience is that a low grade Of shingles,
if sound, prepared in that way, will last
longer and make a tighter roof than the
best quality Of shingles in the market
laid on without this preparation"

Use OF STRYCHNINE FOR DISEASE OF
THE EYE.-About a year ago, Professor
Nagel of Tubingen, published reports of
cases in which he had, by the use Of
strychnia, restored sight to patients
suffering from decay Of vision
or from blindness. Strychnia,
Strychnia, as is well known. is deadly
poison, but it has a wonderful effect in
stimulating the nerves; and Professor
Nagel found that in diseases of the optic
nerve, whether functional or organic, its
operation is alike speedy and etffcacious.
The quantity used was of course exceed
ingly small, one fortieth of grain,
mixed with water, and this solution is
not to be swallowed, but is injected
under the skin of one of the arms, which
seems to render the result more remark
able This remedy has been tried by
occulists elsewhere with marked sue
cess.

SwIFT's HUMoR. - Dean Swift was
walking in the Phoenix Road, Dublin,
when a thunder shower came on, and he
took shelter under a tree, where a party
were sheltering also - two young men
and two young women. One of the girls
looked very sad, until as the rain fell
her tears fell. The dean inquired the
cause, and learned that twas their we'd
ding day; they were on their way to
church, but now her white clothes were
wet and she cOuld't go.
"Never mind-Ill marry you," said
the dean; and he took out his prayer
book and then there married them, their
witnesses being present. And, to make
the thing complete, he tore leaf from
his pocket book and with his pencil
wrote and signed a certificate, which he
handed to the bride. 1t was as follows ::

SANITARY Flowers -Experiments in
France and Holland have shown that
sun flowers, when planted on an extern

effects of eXhalations from marshes.
This plan has been tried with great sue

in France; and the authorities Of Hol-
land assert that intermittent fever has
wholly disappeared from districts where
sun flowers have been planted. It is
not yet determined what effect the flow
ers produce on the atmosphere-whether
it generates oxygen, like other plants of
rapid growth, or whether like the conf
ferrR, it emits ozone, and thus destroy
