It viii be remembered that several
weeks ago the Picayune had an article
relative to thedestrnction of cotton worms,
wherein was described plan adopted last
year bE certain farmers in ST. Landry.
Herewith we give letter from Col. John
NJ. Sandridge, one of oar prominent bus
mess men and planter oflarge experience,
advocating identically the same theory and
authoritatively affirming its perfect effieien-
cy.
Apropos of the same subject, We have
received a suggestion from another Of our
leading merchants, to which reference
sill be made at another time. Meanwhile
we commend the letter of Mr.. Sandridge
to our country friends:
To the Editor of the Plcayune.
Knowing the nervous anxiety Of all
cotton planters about their crops at this
season of the year, and the general fear
Of the cotton wsrm, allow me to suggest
| through your paper to all them that a
| means of destruction can be readily ap-
| piled, should there be occasion, without
resorting to the costly and somewhat dam
gerous use of 'sParis Green and may be
relied on with quite as much confidence as
any of the poisons.
It is known that any violent agitation
| of the cotton stalk, or leaf on which the
worm is feeding, causes them to double
up and spring off. Gettin them 10 the
| ground when they are young, very many
would perish, Cf nothing more was done,)
not finding their way up the plant again;
but to make the thing sure, they should
be buried at once. With many other
ways for the accomplishment of the same
purpose, to get the worms to the ground,
perhaps the simplest would be for two men
or boys, on horses or mules, keeping one
row of the cotton between them, TO ride
| from one end of the row to the other, each
| holding an end of piece of bagging or
other heavy cloth twenty-five or thirty
feet in length, so that it would, in sort
Of loop behind their horses, be dragged
over the cotton rows between them.
Passing over in that way, they should re-
turn along the same row, thus pulling the
stalks in both directions, with two good
shakings.
To be still more effective, some small
brush hanging down from across the
pommel of the saddle could be made to
tickle the side limbs of each plant. And,
to finish the job, should come right after
the pIowman with ''buzzard wing" or
some similar sweep, sufficiently wide to
clean out the row with a single furrow and
cover up the worms, by that time all on
the ground.
To the names on the gear, on the ami
NAL drawing the plow, might be attached
some brush that would again shake the
side limbs of the cotton stalks immediately
ahead of the sweep This operation
performed two or three times-or as often
as the worms might appear in numbers
has proved as effective as any application
of poison, costs no money, and but little
laber, at a time when the labor can be
conveniently given, and does much to keep
down the late grass and other stuff that
would interfere with cotton picking; and |
commend it to every cotton grower should |
the worms appear.

MoonIishI and Lantern-Iisht.

How mellowIy glow the lanterns.
Hung out in the dewy. dark trees,
While j sit at her side, and her fan turns
The moist warm air to a breezel
Right merrily pipes each player;
To the shifting swing of the dance
In the dazzling parlOrs. What gayer
Could be, or more like a romance
But look from her cheek of crimson,
sAnd the diamond caught in her hair,
To the moon that so silently swims on
Through glorious glooms of the air.
Then back to this coquettish presence
My restless regard returns
And its glittering glamour lessons,
While something sulienly burns
In my heart / know not ii any
Significance in it there be
But ] think of storm. and the rainy
Low light on the line OF the sea.

Mormon Rati0ns.

In Brigham Youngs household,
says his divorced wife, they have
a ration day. Once q month each
family receives five pounds of SUI
gar, one pound of candles, a bar
of soap and a box of matches. 1t
had been said that she received
$4,000 year. 1t was false, fig
ment of the brain. The rule with
the prophets wives, except the ia
vorite, is that beyond the plainest
fare and the absolute plainest ne
cessities of clothing, all else shall
be supplied by the wives them
selves for their families. Brigham
often said that he was ashamed to
to own his own wives because they
We're addicted to the frivolties Of

where she had charge of forty

wives with the produce of the
dairy.

a Mere Matter Of Taste.

A few days since, says the Cincinnati
Commercial young lady was invited
by physician to take buggy ride
The invitation was accepted, and the
twain rode out into The country. The
physician, who happens to be counec-
ted with amedical college now in ful |
blast in this city, suggested to bis fair
friend that they visit graveyard
The lady consented, and when fairly in
side the enclosure the doctor espied the
sexton. Handing over the reins to his
companion, he alightod from his buggy
and was soon by the side Of the grave
digger. After few minutes conversa-
ton the doctor returned, and inquired
ofhis female friend if she had any OBJ
lection to riding back home with
corpse. The lady, non-plussed by such
proposition, wanted an explanation,
and in reply was told that the sexton
had just sold him fine subject for his
college, which he desired to take home;
that if he did not take it
some other college would get
it. The astonishe.l lady then bland ly
remarked that if the body could be put
under the seat of the buggy she would
have no objection, but il she had to ride
home with Der feet resting upon it she
referred to be excused. The body was
not brought in on that trip, but came
an hour or so later. The lady vows that
she has taken her last ride with ply
stefan bent on such horrid expedition
