New Orleans Pacific Railroad.

The following article concerning
the proposed railroad is clipped from
the Mansfield Reporter Of the 10th
inst. Whatever effect the road may
have upon the trade OF New Orleans,
there is no doubt it will largely ben
eft the section through which it will
pass when built, therefore we are not
surprised the newspapers Of that
region are SO enthusiastic in its favor.
1t remains to he seen whether the
confident proposition advanced in
the closing sentence Of the Reporters
article will be justified by events:
We have now come to the conclu-
sion that we will have road through
this section, beyond any probable
doubt, within twelve months. The
people of New Orleans are in dead
earnest about this matter, and will
doubtless push it to rapid compile
ton. Taking this view ct the present
state of affairs, we are of the opinion
that this section never had a brighter
prospect before it than at present.
The plan Of the company, as we un-
derstand it, is for New Orleans to
build ut her own expense, the first
fifty miles of the road, commencing
at Alexandria, and hy mortgaging
this unepcumbered line, with the as,
sistance of the parishes along the
route, they expect to build it to it's
terminus. This road is an absolute
necessity to the city of New Orleans,
and consequently its completion is
an assured fact.

A Critical Moment.

OPPOSITE our camp the wall was high
and vertical. The river running to the
south for mile and q half turns back

river, the first south, the second north,
are separated by wall in many places

this wall for the purpose of measuring
its altitude, so one day Bradley and
took the little boat and pulled up stream
as far as possible, in order to reach a
place where the wall was so broken that
it seemed practicable to climb il. We
landed on a little talus of rocks at the
foot of the wall, but found that we must
go still further up the river; so we
scrambled on until we reached a place
where the river sweeps against the wall.
Here we found a shelf along which we
could pass, and then were ready for the
climb. We started up gulch, then
passed to the left, on bench along the
wall then up again, over broken rocks;
then we reached more benches, along
which we worked until we found more
broken rocks and crevices, by which we
climbed still up, until we had assembled
six or eight hundred feet. Here we
were met by a sheer precipice.
Looking about we found place where

Planting Potato Sprouts.

POTATOES of large size are said to be
produced by monk in France by cutting
two side-shoots from each stalk when it
is five to seven inches high and setting
them in good, rich, mellow garden soil.
In a few days they send out roots and
form tubers about as early and in as
large quantities as the original stalk,
while the latter does not seem to be in
jured by the moderate pruning.
Our monkish friend has discovered
nothing new, but it may be worth re-
membering when one has rare kind

Many of our nurserymen practice the

Care of SwIne-EcOnOmy in Food.

HORSES, cattle and other stock capable
of subsisting on the coarser kinds of
food, in most localities, may be carried
through the winter in fair condition,
where there is an abundance of hay,
straw, ETC.; but the case is different with
hogs. Corn is not only natural food but
the one almost entirely depended on in
the West for the production of pork.
Some of the root crops might take the
place of corn to some extent, and with
advantage, as an appetizer or to assist in
leeping the animal in n healthful end
growing condition. But the cultivation
of these is almost entirely neglected on
our vast areas of cheap lands, and for the
reason that the cereals can be raised
with less labor, and of course cannot
now be procured to supplement the pres
ent short supply of corn on hand.
Corn is better calculated to put on fat
than to add to the growth of bone and
muscle necessary to the thrift and
healthfulness of young hogs. Why does
one farmer, with limited amount of
corn, keep his hogs in a thrifty and
growing condition, and at killing time
bring them fully developed TO the heav.
lest weights, while his neighbor, with
better facilities and more feed, brings his
condition, light in weight, uneven in size
| and ungainly in shape? Do farmers give
sufficient thought to the economy of the
food? No one can know how mucl
may be gained in feeding hogs, by
| continuing in the common routine
among farmers of supplying them con
! tinually from first to last with nothing
but dry corn, principally caTbon-regard

nitrogenous food, with healthiul exercise
are just as necessary to the healthtul anC
strong growth of the animal as carbon

Threshed oats, wheat or rye, grounC

because the same amount of corn will

Hogs when fattening should not hav

Cutting and Storing Crafts.

THERE is no better time to cut CRAFTS,
says the London Garden, than at the
commencement of winter. In cutting
and packing them away there are some
precautions to be observed In the first
place, let them be amply and distinctly
labeled, as tits very annoying to find the
names gone at the moment of using
them. For this purpose they should be
tied up in lunches, not over two or three
inches in diameter, with three bands
around each bunch-at the ends and
middle. The names may be written on
a strip of pine board or lath, half an inch
wide, a tenth of an inch thick, and near
ly as long as the scions This, if tied up
with the bunch, will keep the same Sc
cure. For convenience in quickly deter
mining the name there should be
another strip of lath, sharp at one end
and with the name distinctly written on
the other, thrust into the bundle, with
the name projecting from it. If these
punches or bundles are now placed on
end in a box, with plenty of damp moss
between them and over the top, they will
keep in cellar in good condition and
any sort may be selected andIwithdrawr
without disturbing the rest by reading
the projecting label We have never
