LETTER FROM MERIDIAN, MISS.

MERIDIAN, MISS, Jan. 3, 1874.
Bio the Editor of the MORNING STAR:
After reading some very interesting descrp-
lions of ceremonies which took place at various
places during the great festival of Christmas,
j have concluded to lot you hear from Meri-
kian. But, to anticipate, must first tell you
that the Catholics here, under tho direction of
Rheir worthy pastor, Rev. Father Valley, have
accomplished q great deal. few years ago
there was here comparatively nothing, and
how we have 1ourishing town, with popu-
! alton of about 5000 and it would he saying
but little to tell you that during and along
with the marvellous growth of this place, Ca
tholic interests, through the indefatigable on
|ergy and zeal of our pastor, have kept pace
with, if not outstripped, the advancement of
|al others.
The congregation has been, and is still, poor,
and having thus overcome many obstacles
and accomplished so much under adverse cir
|cumstances, they, as we'll as their pastor, are
certainly entitled to credit and a most favor
able recognition.
But to begin. On Christmas Day we had six
masses, three by Father Valley and three by
Father Oberfelt. At ten o'clock high mass
was celebrated, Fathers Valley and Oberfelt
officiating. AS usual, the sCaDle Oh beGnieneul,
with representations of the Blessed Virgin
Mary and Infant, st. Joseph and the shepherds,
were to be seen most beautifully and appropri-
ately arranged. The church at 10 o'clock was
crowded, and indeed every mass, I am told,
was well attended, and many availed them.
selves of the opportunity by approaching Holy
Commueion.
Now, as the last but not the least interest
ing, must tell of the pleasure we had at the
Catholic Fair of Meridian, which came off the
Goth and 9th ult. For two nights q spacious
hall, gratuitously furnished through the gen
erosity of Mr.. C. sheehan, was most densely
crowded, and apart from the innocent amuse
ment and the recreation afforded by the COCA
sion, "to drive dull care away" about $40t
were realized, to be appropriated to the pur
chase of cemetery.
In concluding, I must ask you, MI Editor
don't you think after awhile We will conpar
with any of the older and more wealthy con
gregations of the state'

Beet Sugar i'm California.

1t has been announced that the Alva-
RADIO sugar-works have been removed to
Sequel, near Santa Cruz. The object
was to get land at SO, and to sell their
Alvarado property for 5000 per acre.
The company has always found good
profit in making sugar from beats.
Another company is being formed by
Mr.. Dyer, a landowner, TO put up a new
and improved sugarie of equal capacity
on the same grounds.
The Sacramento sugarie has over l, =
600 acres Of beets in luxuriant growth.
The yield will probably be 20 tons to
the acre, equal TO 1000 tons of sugar,
valued at profit of $500, 600, including
the molasses for distillation and the
cattle feed. No industry can show so
good return for the capital invested,
with so little work or complication.
Negotiations are being made for the
construction of a one-hundred-ton beet
sugarie by capitalists of Portland, Ore
gon. The works are to be of the Rob-
ert Diffusion Process. The Sacramento
company has this process but Mr..
Robert has made great improvement,
by which nearly one-third part Of the
heavy machinery is dispensed with, and
the cost of making SUGARS reduced.
We hear that it is the experience of
our two sugaries that there is no profit
to the companies in raising their own
beets. Farmers can do it cheaper
They are we'll paid at S4.50 per ton
delivered at the mill, which is cheaper
than the factory can raise them. By
this division of labor, sugar making is
simplifed, and less capital is required.
To cultivate 1900 acres of beets re-
quires considerable capital, which, by
this division, is furnished by the farm
ers. They ask no pay till the beets
are delivered and the sugar is being
made. Then the terms offered are half
cash and half at 60 and 80 days.-San
Francisco alta.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Driving His Glover 10 Market

The following extracts appeared in a
recent number OF tho San Francisco
Bulletin:
Jackson Wilcoxen, of Yolo county,
lately sold 100 fat steers for $50 head.
We met him while driving about one
third, the first installment, to Sacra-
mento. The purchaser received them
at Mr.. Wilcoxens's farm, but Mr. Will
coxen helps drive them to Sacramento,
where they will be put on the cars for
Oakland. The cattle bring the seller
the nice little sum of $3.50, and the
delivery will cost him three trips to
Sacramento on horseback. In these
cattle Mr.. Wilcoxen was driving his
alfalfa TO market. He was for the last
ten years been raising alfalfa and driv-
ing it in this way. His trips to Sacra-
mento will probably cost him about So
each, making the expense of getting
Sc, $50 worth of alfalfa to market but SO.
If we reckon his alfalfa at so ton,
the steers will carry, in condensed
form, $50 tons to market, at a cost of
S15. 1t would have cost to deliver the
same III its original bulky condition at
least So per ton, or So, It's, half of what
the steers came to. We mention the
fact as an illustration of the great adj
vantage of reducing bulky materials
produced on the farm to more COM
pact form before marketing the same,
and another consideration while these
steers have been growing up, they have
been enriching and improving the land
from which they have obtained living.
The man who sells his hay in bulk, car
ries away with each crop part of the
fertilizing properties of his farm, and
will finally exhaust the fertility which
alone makes it valuable. Let our farm
ers reflect on the lesson conveyed in the
above facts"

in another way than with the ordinary
double lines. Other thousands have
never seen anything else than single
line used in blowing, either with one
or two horses. Recently correspond
ent of an agricultural paper asked how
this was done. In the South we have
seen teams driven with a rope tied to
one side of the bit of one of the mules
or horses, but usually the line is fast
ened to a rein somewhat longer than
the usual check rein. A loop at the
other end is provided for greater con-
venience in holding the line. With a
little training a horse learns to be
guided by this as readily as with the
double lines. A steady pull turns to
the left; light jerks to the right. A
person accustomed only to this line
finds the double reins an inconvenience.

PotatO Digging with n Machine.

Col. ID. G. Richmond, near Sandusky,
in letter to me, stated that he dug his
potatoes last season with newly in
vented machine of Mr.. II. Carrier, of
Mentor, Lake county; he was highly
pleased with the operation of the ma
chine, and he wanted to know if l had
seen or heard of its performance in this
county. He said he not only could
raise four hundred bushels of potatoes
on an acre, without difficulty with the
aid of Paris green to choke off the bugs,
but he could dig them in one day with
his machine, if his boys would only take
care of them as fast as dug. La short,
he considered it altogether the best
machine extant for the purpose, and so
he purchased the one taken there for
trial.
l had seen this machine on exhibition
but not in actual use, and had not then
heard of its being used in this county,
except by the inventor while expert
menting with it, though it was used
there about that time. / have since
met Mr.. Carrier several times, and /
learn that he took the machine to Erie
county last fall because he preferred to
see it have a fair trial among strangers
rather than among his own neighbors
and being satisfied that it was all right,
he went to work in earnest to manufact-
IRE machines for this season, and will
in due time advertise them extensively.
1t will certainly be considered appro-
pirate that the county producing the
most potatoes should also have the
honor of producing the best machine for
digging them. ohio Farmer.

living near Madison, gives rs remark

purposes, without ever giving birth to a

" Come Home, the Beans Are Burn
ing,''

Last Sunday morning family living
in the suburbs of the city went to a sub
urban church, leaving little girl about
7 years of age and a boy about II years
of age in charge of the house. The
family were to have beans for dinner,
and these were left in a vessel on the
stove TO cook. The little girl, while
playing, suddenly began to smell the
odor of burnt beans, upon which she
rush ed out of the house over into the
church where the pastor was gravely
and earnestly preaching the profound
word of God. The first person of the
family the little girl espied was young
lady cousin, and to her in loud voice
which startled the assemblage consider
ably, she cried "Come home, come
home, the beans are burning" and i'm
mediately rushed out again. The aston
ishment was great, and all the solem-
nifty of the preacher as well as of the
congregation disappeared beneath a
broad smile at the righteousness of

Cranberries.

Mr.. H. S. Sacket recently brought
to the office of this paper bunch of
cranberries in their present stage OF
growth. The largest was the size of a
large pea. He says he never saw the
berry so large before at that time Of
the season, and that the injury done to
the vines by worms is not nearly so
great as has been reported. Mr.. Sacket
thinks that, from present appearances,
the crop will be five times as large as
last year, and that, in all, probability,
10000 barrels will be shipped from Ber-
lin alone. -Berlin WIS., COurant.
