POOR LOUISIANA,

The following from the New Orleans
Ptcayttite of the 18th inst. shows how Kel:
logg, who is sustained in his usurped posi-
ton as Governor by Federal bayonets, en-
courages laWlessness in Louisiana:
"a body of negroes committed crime
against w. r. Rutland and his property
He made sn affidavit sgainst them before
an officer of Mr.. kellogg's appointment,
who issued warrants for their arrest. The
officer who was designated to execute the
warrants attempted to execute them, but
did not, owing, it is said, to an
armed force srrayed agains, him. He
then summoned posse to assist him,
when there was some little skirmish-
ing on the part of the negroes. Mr.. Kel-
logg's officer sent certified copy of the afh-
davit and of the warrant, with bis rettirn
that he could not execute the warrants, fol-
the reason above stated, to Mr.. Kellogg.
Kellogg would take no action on it, al
though his officer called on him for a sufh.
Gent military force to enable him to do so.
tsW. r. Rutland then asked the arrest OF
the parties under the Ku-Klux law; but was
not favored with Kellogg's assistance.
"The negroes and white men, whose ar
rest Rutland bad asked for, came to this
city and made affidavits before Commission
er Shannon, and be has issued warrants,
under the Ku-Klux law, for the arrest of
about fifty white men of he posse who
were summoned to arrest the negroes, and
we are informed, officers left the city yes
terday to make the arrest"

execute the work in good order, and with
great economy Of capital and labor. One
thousand farmers therefore make it an easy
task to irrigste by m artificial
river l00,0Oe aeFes Of land.
Within the last few days four car loads Of
delicious, yellow, aromatic, sweet scented
vernal grhss butter hive been sent partly to
New York, and partly to ST. Louis, from
dairy of ten thousand COWS kept on ranch
that is partly surrounded by the warm
Pacific, little north Of San Francisco.
Having nild humid atmosphere, by sel
Letting grasses adapted to grow and mature
their reeds at different seasons, some are
fresh and green Efor dairy stock every
month In the year. Hence the man Of cul-
tiyated brains is master of the situation.
He has the largest dairy in the world, and
probably the most successful. The combi-
nation In this case, is limited to two stock
holders.
Nothing would be easier, Or more useful
TO the citizens of Nashville than to organize
q milk company to supply the city with
pure milk at the same price or less which
Is now paid for q mixture of milk and
water. The milk Is now diluted by some
producers we have abundant evidence and
that the temptation for all 10 adulterate
this article is very great no. enc can reason
ably deny. A combination of honest per-
sons can remedy this evil, unless the out
spoken portions of dishonest practices are
in the majority. 1t. is impossible to escape
the growing conflict be .ween dishonesty
and honesty. The former has combined in
a thousand ways to defraud the public; audit
will augment its combinations in the future.
Farmers are pushed and driven, willing or
unwilling, into combinations for selEde-
fence. With them 1t is progress or slavery.
Unprogressive farmers will soon find their
farms unsaleable; because all go-ahead men
will desire to sell and leave-unwilling to
tie for life living body to dead carcass.
The law of human segregation Is as per-
msnent as any other whatever. Elements
of society that have no natural affinity can
not long vex each other by near proximity,
and an unjust, as well as unequal, yoking
together. Forced combinations made by
crazy people at the head of government,
are not friendly to successful agriculture.
Southern agriculture has been driven into
an unnatural state by resistless outside
force; and the sooner We recognize this
fact the better it will be for all classes in
the South. New combinations are una
voidablej and the farmers of Tennessee
should choose their best men to meet In
q State Convention and take counsel to-
getber on matters that deeply concern the
we'll being of all. If we have any interests
in the world, who are likely to give more
attention to those interests than our
selves? There are many things in our sew
ersl counties and in our State, that need re-
form. In the absence of political excite
ment, such reforms can be secured.

FARM AND GARDEN.
A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.

Louis McMurry, the well known vegeta-
bic fruit pseBer, of Baltimore, is extending
his business to gigantic proportions fOr the
packing season of 1873.
Last year he put up very nearly q mil
lion caus, reaching thirty-aye thousand a
day. This year be is cultivating nearly
1850 acres in vegetables and fruits, all of
which are to be canned for future use. He
has some 25 hands working the year round
in the manufacture of tin cans, and proba-
bly, uses glass vessels to considerable ex-
tent. We have seen notice of company
in one Of the Gulf States organized to man
ufscture glass jars, raise and put
Cp fruit on large scale.
Our best blackberries are heslthy and &C.
ceptable fruit; and with proper business
tact, one might make fortune by cultiva-
ting and sealing, in alright vessels, this in
digepous product of Tennessee soil and eli
mate. Iu New York, this fruit sells at from
twenty to forty cents quart. In East Ten
nessee, blackberries are picked for fifty
cents bushel, where farmer hires them
gathered on his own land.
Where one understands fighting the cur
culio, both peaches and plums may be
raised and preserved at Large profit.
Here is an inviting field for enterprise and
honest industry. The curculio is Just now
beginning to deposit its eggs in young
plums, and will soon do the same to
peaches. Put a wagon sheet, or sheets
from beds, under a fruit tree and jar it
with smart blow with a mallet, up near
the limbs, and the little turks will roll them
selves up like many worms and drop on the
cloth, where they may be killed. If many,
q bucket of hot water at hand can receive
them from the sheet. A man can make
big wages in 3 peach or plum orchard by
keeping worms out of fruit.

both pigs and corn crop. l bad twelve pigs,
narrowed April !; IweIghed aAthe corn
fed from that time until | sold, Sept. is.
1t that time the twelve pigs weighed 1925
pounds; sold atfour and q quarter cents
per pound, amounting to $81.Sl; fed 115
bushels corn, worth forth-fve cents per
busheI, $5l.75, leaving q profit of 30.06.
We MIXED three cows during the summer,
bat raising the calves left not great
amount Of milk for the pigs. Ny pigs we're
of the Magic breed. k &8kHss.
My corn field consisted of fourteen acres
timothy meadow, that had lain in grass fir
teen years. In keeping my account reck-
oned man and team each at Sl.00 per day.
The cost of blowing, fitting the ground and
planting, $72.T5; cost of cultivating, $50 !;
cost of cutting, $500; cost of husking,
S45 90 estimated value Of fodder, $45 90 ;
total expense of crop, $121.75. harvested
1000 bushels of ears. Estimated amount
of shelled corn $50 bushels, every bushel of
which / can now sell at home for forty cents
per bushel, amounting to $4,000, which,
minus the cost OF raising, leaves $13S.25
profit. ,c.44I G @-a144 Y p "
But don't propose to sell corn when one
bushel makes fifteen pounds Of pork, which,
at last years prices, brought me sixty three
and three-quarters cents. Besides, find
that to raise bushel Of corn last year only
cost me nineteen cents, and the crop was
badly damaged by wet Western
Rural.

COMBINATIONS In FARMING.

There are two principles applicable to all
branches of productive industry, which
every producer, whether capitalist or q
lAborer, should study. One of these prin-
ciples represents the separate labor Of far
mer or mechanic working for himself, or as
hired man or woman, working for anoth-
er. 1t is simply the common practice of
isolation full grown into system of pro-
duction, in young aud immature society.
When a motherly hen weans her brood,
each chick is told to scratch for itself there
after or die, and to hide from hawks and
other enemies, as best it can. The feeble
bird gets its supplies by its own isolated
industry, and never makes any pro-
gress in art, labor, or selfelevation.
For unknown thousands of years farmers
have patched their humSn chicks, reared aud
weaned them in the same way, each genera.
ton ending in the same isolated efforts
and ideas, with which the preceding gene
ration began. 1t is easy TO see that any peo-
pie SO deeply !disassocited, if they are once
semi-savsges, must remain SO forever, IN
less the ccncatenation is broken, and in a
measure destroyed, by war, pestilence, fam
Inc, or the destructive shock of an earth
quake. Whatever necessitates combina-
tiops of mankind favors progress and inn
provement. To compel youth to learn
II El,oE Q
favors bis learning and understanding,
that II times II makes IA. The
latter is Ia larger combination than the
former, but both are alike movable.
Are there any useful and movable COM
binations In agriculture which are now gen
orally unknown? We think there are very
many such within the reach of every land
owner and land-cultivator, whether be
holds land or not. Most readers are famil.
lar with the foundation rules Of arithmetic
and some may be surprised when we Tel
them that these time honored rules, perhsp:
Of Arabic origin, have never been applied to
our common farming operations. Arabs
land is so cheap and plenty in the United
States, that we have few associations
to increase agricultural knowledge.
We have no certain ideas on the subject
how plants grow, and what substances they
take out of the ground, and how much Of
each. Nor do we see the benefits Of com.
biniDg our wit and strength to buy all that
we need to purchase in the course of a veal
at the lowest wholesale prices, and to sci
all that cur farms and industry produce tC
the very best advantage. An agriculture
company may have but two partners, or i
may have ten thousand. The principle il
ever the same. The object is to cure the
constitutional weakness Of isolated effort
When two or moro merchants unite their
capita, business experience, talent and indus
try, if honest, their sue 'ess is nearly certain
The industrial problem which theyi worl
out in practice is as simple in its ele'
ments as the rules Of addition. Is th'
strength, whether physical or mental, o
two men, or Of ten men. greater than tbs
of one man?

ouRRENcy AND EXCHANGE.

There were rather more calls for loans
than usual yesterday, but we believe the
banks accommodate all whom they con
slider desirable customers.
Exchange on New York is scarce and is
in demand. The banks in checking charge
at the rate of 81 per thousand, and in buy
ing they allow premium.
- GOLD AND SILVER.
Gold was rather irregular yesterday,
opening at 1171. advancing to 117s, declin =
ing to It'll, and closing at l175. Dealers
here we're paying lis and were holding at
1T. Silver is taken at LOT for halves and
quarters.
