Model Farmers Club

In answer to your Carroll county cor
respondent, / would say that we have
here what we consider the Model Far
mer's Club of the country, and that on
| Saturday last, 0ur meeting vas the
twenty ninth anniversary of its. eXis-
tence. The following is order of
organization It is limited to sixteen
members and our meetings are held ON
the first Saturday In each month. We
generally assemble Mt about three
/ o'clock at each others houses in alpha-
betical order, so that each member will
have them once in sixteen months.
and at each meeting q foreman is ap-
pointed for the day, whose place it is to
lead as over the farInsins0ur walks, and
to preside over pHr meetings. The fol-
lowing is our mode of working: After
a foreman is appointed by the Meeting,
the minutes OF our last meeting at this
farm i read. We then start out, led
by our foreman, on a tour of inspection.
Thus you see we have q chance to note
any changes or improvements made
since our last meeting at that place,
and note any failure to rectlfy any
neededfepairs, or shortcomings on the
part 0f0ur host and lie need be, he will
get pretty severely criticised by the
Secretary, Wil0 takes notes as we go
along. On returning to the house, the
minutes of our last meeting are Eead,
and the results of any experiments
which may have been tried, are an
nouneed, essays read, and other bust
ness which may come up is bransaetea.
At about this stage of the proceedings,
orr hostess generally Summons us t0a
plain but substantial supper. During
the time of eating supper, we generally
/ indulge in commonplace conversation,
talk politics, Sc. When through with
supper, each member, or guest, It any
be present, is privileged to ask any
questions relating to farming. These
questions can be made very interesting,
and will frequently lead to q good deal
of discussion. We generally get through
at about eight o'clock in the evening.
Our Club has several members who
helped to ORGANIZE it t~Wenty-nine years
ago, and I believe there has never been

why. We Lose Immigrants.
From the Crescent city,

Some twenty months ago an honest,
hardy Irislman landed in this city from
an emigrant steamer to seek a home
and fortune in our midst. He had been
induced here by description of Louisi-
ana sent out in immigration interests.
He accepted the first offer of work, andin
the c%Ourse"Of time assembled the scale
from stevedOre to a driver of a street
dray, and besides the ownership of a
mule and dray had accumulated the
snug sum of $500. He then determined,
and wisely too, that he would retire to
some country parish and live and die
under his own vine and fig tree.
He had read of favored Attakapas,
the garden spot of Louisiana, and he
drew a comparison between q rickety
city tenement with it's unhealthy sur
rOundings and it's exhorbitant rent, and
a neat rural cottage without those in
cumbrances. He was ready to hold the
pillow, perform all name of physical
labor, and would undoubtedly prove a
valuable acquisition to any community
in which he should cast his lot. He
prOspected up and down the beautiful
Teche, and was delighted with the
country, but upOninquiry he ascertained
to his sorrow that good lands, although
threatened by mortgage, and the owners
by poverty, were not offered in quanti-
ties small enough to be within reach of
ordinary purchasers and save in I'M
desirable localities, for an inferior quail
ity of land, was it possible to make an
arrangement by a small cash payment
and the balance at fair terms of credit.
Now st. Mary parish has or ought to
have an immigration society, and it is
the home of Daniel bennett, secretary
and State lecturer of the Louisiana
Homestead and immigration Society,
and this drayman had responded to
their appeals; buthe didnOtatany point
find an agent to welcome him,
and he returned to the city thoroughly
disappointed. A short time since he
left for Texas, found an opening and
became a resident. Thus Louisiana has
lost and Texas gained citizen, taxpay-
er, and a producer, besides that, an ad-
vOcate in her favor to his relatives in
Ireland who will profit by his experience
and give us % wide berth in their calcu-
lations-all owing to the neglect of i'm
migration interests and the perniciOus
practice of land owners who persist in
offering and retaining, like q huge ele-
plant, the great tracts of al obsolete
era.
War, politics, etc, have little to dc
with our unsuccessful efforts to attract
immigration, because they were tempo.
rary obstacles, while the evil we have
described has been a permanent one
and not until planters or societies place
small farms in the market will any ma
terial change for the better take place
