LOUISIANA A DEPENDENCY.-lf any
evidence was required to prove that
Louisiana is in need of q revolution in
agriculture it would be sufficient to
state that most of the food used by her
people is produced and imported from
abroad. Our people farm on a lottery
or speculative plan and only a few win.
We pay for the shipment of produce u
thousand miles, and a profit to first,
second and third hands amounting to
an exhOrbitant per centage. The out
lay is annually enormous and it is al
ways an outlay Of hard earned cash.
And if by any contingency, such as war
or drouth, the supplies Of foreign food
should fail us planters would be thrown
into Immediate distress.
Louisiana Is no more nor less than a
dependency on the bounty Of other Sec
tions in the way of food and manufac-
lures, when no good reason exists why
she should not export them. There are
all facilities for the production of nee
essaries in abundance, and also num-
berless luxuries. The statehas the best
of soils, and great network of water
routes.ensuring cheap transportation of
produce to the metropolis. There is no
cause, save lack of combinations, to
prevent the working up of our raw
materials, many of which in the manu-
factured state are re imported to us
from other states to the serious loss of
our own. Our own food and our own
raiment should be the work of our own
hands.
Just so long as our agricultural COM
munity depends upon foreign articles of
food, issued to them at ruinous advance
rates, they will continue to dwell in
constant perplexity as to how to make
both ends meet and avoid the tax gath
erer, tt is the originator of half the
mortgages on plantations-this abject
dependence on foreign supplies and the
city commission merchants.
The erroneous opinion which has
hitherto prevailed that planters cannot
become independent is being set al
naughtin st, Landry and other parishes
where supplies are being successfully
produced. and planters are rejoicing in
| the prospects of an increase of profits
on the years crop. # Crescent City.

LEATHER GLUE.-A substance known
as leather glue is prepared by mixing
ten parts Of suIphuride of carbon with
one Of oil OF turpentine, and adding
enough gutta percha to thicken the
mass. The leather surfaces to be united
must be freed from oil, which is accom-
Dlished by subieeting them to pressure,
by laying the leather upon blotting. pa
Der and applying the hot iron. After
lacking together the edges to be joined
with the cement, they are to be kept
under pressure until the glue is entirely
dry.
