DRILLING Va. RROADCAST
SEEDING

The department of agriculture
thus summarizes the facts received
from its correspondents relative
to drilling or broadcasting seed
wheat
1. Ffty-two per cent of the win.
wheat and thirty per cent. of the
spring wheat, or about forty per
cent. of the aggregate of both
KIND represent the proportion
seeded with a drill.
2. Nine-tenths of the testimony
given asserts the superiority OF
the drill for winter wheat.
3. An average increase of one
tenth in the yield is assured bv
the use of the drill.
4. A large majority of obsery-
ers declare that in most soils in
which injury resulting from frost
is liable to occur, drilling prevents
or reduces the loss.
5. The majority assert that in
certain clay soil with rolling sur
faces, some advantage accrues in
surface draining by use OF the
drill while in some heavy soils
with fiat surfaces, the water freez-
ing in the drill furrow does posi-
tive injury.
.. The broadcast seeder pre-
dominates IN spring wheat regions
because better adapted than the
drill to seeding in unplowed corn
fields, on rough surfaces, and in
weedy fields.
z. About one-seventh of the
seed wheat Tor 100000 bushels
for the crop might be saved by
the exclusive use of the drill.
8. The drill is used for seeding
In connection with thorough eui-
ture, more especially in winter
wheat growing; the broadcast
seeder for imperfect culture and
rough surfaces, snd sowing bv
hand is the method adopted for
small patches and first efforts of
pioneers.

The New Orleans Picayune saws
that "never before in the history
of Louisiana have SO many white
men taken active part in the prac-
teal details of agriculture, and it
is at least a singular coincidence
that seldom if ever before has
there been a crop so promising in
all respects" as that now on the
ground. 1t concludes that white
men can endure field labor in that
climate.

farmers boys have often puz
zled their heads over the reason
why some wheat is bearded, and
have as often Joined in asking
father to SOW the beardless kind,
for the other 'spricks so'' in har-
vest; but now they are being aid
ed in the solution of the natural
mystery by the grasshoppers,
which in many instances totally
ignore the bearded grain and pitch
into the dcfenseless smoOth-head
varieties.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Suicide or Accidental Drowning.

z Last Saturday, the 5th inst, Mr.. Peter
Bennett, residing on Thalia street, between
Liberty and Howard, left his home and has
never been heard of since.
Search was made by his wife in every direc-
ton where she thought it was probable to find
him, but without any success. Day after day
passed, and the bereaved wife looked in vain
for the return of her husband.
At last becoming weary of waiting in vain,
she repaired to the Central Station, where
she stated that her husband had left on the
day above mentioned, and appeared at the
time to be very much worried, although she
knew Of no cause for his anxiety.
That he has always led sober and steady
life until very recently he began to drink to
excess, and seemed always oppressed by some
unknown grief That when last seen by q
friend he was at the corner of Julia and Ba-
rome streets, going to the levee, and seemed
in great hurry. When the friend asked
where he was going, Bennett replied, "Don't
bother me, that's my business" and kept on
his way, at the time being very much under
the influence of liquor.
kilograms have been sent to all of the
police stations, but without any favorable re-
suit His wife fears that in q state Of intoxica-
ton he has either fallen into the river or COM
mitted suicide.
Mr.. Bennett is man about thirty-fve
years Of age, short and stout, with heavy
brown beard, and was dressed in grey suit
when he left his residence last Saturday, the
5th instant.

A Waiter RObs His Employer and
AbscOnds with the Booty.

Yesterday morning Mr.. P. Billman. prpprie-
tor of the Boudro Restaurant, Old Lake End
met with a heavy loss by being robbed 1t
appears that MI. Billman had placed in q
wardrobe some money. with a watch and
chain and other valuables, but having perfect
confidence in his walters and those about him,
did not deem it necessary to conceal the fact
of having the money in the wardrobe.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Billman opened the
wardrobe and, as usual, looked to see if his
cash was all right, when, to his utter amaze
ment, be discovered that 500 in currency, a
note for $50, and a gold watch and chain were
nowhere to be found. An inquiry into the
matter revealed the fact that waiter named
Philip Loisel, who had been employed for a
long time in the restaurant, had suddenly
absconded.
Upon a closer investigation Mr.. Billman
discovered that Loisel left Yesterday for
Mobile, which fixed the fact in the proprie-
tors mind that the missing waiter had pos
sessed himself of the articles which had been
stolen from the wardrobe.
Consequently Mr.. Billman Immediately
came to the city and made affidavit before
Judge Evans, of the First Municipal Police
Court, against Philip Loisel, for the larceny
of the stolen articles. The case has been
placed in the hands of the detectives who will
no doubt bring the festive young waiter back
in the next twenty four hours.

THE CLINTON CASE.

The Grand Jury, we learn, is, IN the COM
mon parlanee of the day, "going for MI.
Clinton" and in so doing is engaged IN very
laudable undertaking. It does not, however,
add to our confidence in the result OF the in
vestioation to learn that the movement is the
outerowth of personal spite. In matter OF
thin moment, in q case involving the in
teprity and honesty of q public official,
the greatest care should be taken to do the
accused the very fullest justice. He should
be given every possible opportunity to clear
himself from the damaging charges, and,
while we have been persistent and consistent
in urging rigid examination Of the Auditor
and his accounts. We yet wish to see the in
vestigation thoroughly impartial and fair.
We join the Picayne in suggesting
that Messrs. John Phelps, L. b. Gard
ner and Cockburn, who compose committee
of experts, appointed by the Executive to
critically examine the Auditors accounts, be
summoned to testify before the Grand Jury
They have had ample time to investigate and
ought to be prepared to throw some light
upon the much vexed question. If these
gentlemen, who are practical business men
and thorough accountants, find there have
been serious Irregularities in the Au-
ditor's books, and that he has been
guilty, as charged, with malfeasance in
Office; their testimony before the Grand Jury
would be quite conclusive of guilt, and vice

towards mitigating the popular opinion of
this public officer, who has unquestionably
done many unwise, rash and lawless things,
but who claims that he has not defrauded the
State of dollar. Let us be careful to be just
and then if he falls che falls like Lucifer."

We have evidence Of the use of beer for more
thsn 1000 years. The Grecisn poet and satirist,
Archlochus, who lived about 700 B. c.. and the
Grecian tragedians, Eschylus and Sophocles,
who lived about 400 B. c., called it wine of bar
ley, Diodorus, of Sicily, who lived about the time
of julius Caesar, mentions beer in his history.
Pliny, also, about the middle of the first century
after Christ, speaks of this beverage in several
places In his natural history. He says that in
Spain it is called celia and ceria; in Gaul and
other provinces Of the Roman Empire cerevisia
The Egyptians are said to have invented beer.
Afterward beer was unknown in Egypt until the
French army introduced it anew. How far the
beer of the ancients resembled the modern article
we do not know. The word beer was derived
from bibere, to drink Exchange.

A NEW GAME.

The police have recently dropped on q new
game Of the thieves around town, and have
run in one Of the leaders. Sergeant Bergeron.
Of the Third Precinct, is the man who did
she business, and one Frank Totoricho is the
victim.
Totoricho, some days ago, met men on
Royal street and engaged him in converse
non, and while he talked Totoricho fried q
handkerchief in the face of the man he was
addressing. In moment or two the man
staggered back against the walls of the build
ing, in front of which they were standing, and
Totoricho placed the handkerchief to his face,
held it there and rihed the mans pockets.
He was run in and released on bonds, and
Friday night he was caught in an attempt to
play the same game, and was locked up.
Sergt Bergeron has also made an additional
charge against him, based on information re-
ceived, which was to the effect that he (Toto-
ncho) had threatened to take his (Bergeron's)

Corn and Cotton Planting Together
LCorresponasnee saathera CaltLvator.

ICOrrespordenee Southern CuItivatOr.
~ see in present number of Southern
Culuvaior, which has just reached me,
the inquiry and reply on planting corn
and cotton together Will some expe-
rienced and practical corn grower give
his opinion on following method Of CONS
birring the two crops? We will suppose
a field Of medium frtiity--sniI easiIy
guilty ted-tO be thoruu ghly bruEan up
and laid off in Is inch rows; AMI say
guano applied about the 10Th of April,
three rows listed upon and bedeG, aud
! the fourth row planted in corn and cow
| cred the ordinary way with double pillow.
The cotton rows to be planted the Goth
of April, and, if circumstances (>uch as
heavy rain falling, &c } demanded it,
the corn rows could he knocked of
with the harrow or board used in coverN
ing the cotton seed In our eIav lands
where the ordinary twiHter is used to
bar off cotton at it's first working, the
same would answer admirably for the
corn, md it would be the case through
OUT the working season, although the
curn rows would need less hoeing. Now,
in my opinion, by this method, theoret~
ically speaking, there would be full
crop of cotton and half crop IF corn on
the same land. Three out Of the four
rows would give US As many stalks Of
cotton as if the rows were laid off 374
inches, and all cotton rows The fourth
row, planted IN corn, would give half as
many stalks of corn as fftyNsix inch
corn rows, both good distances.
of course the width of rows could be
arranged to suit the fancy or circum
stances Of the case, but the idea Is to /
have three rows of cottOn and one row of
corn on the space usually allowed for
three cotton rows.
If anything is to be gained in planting
the two crops together, the above method
would haVa its merits The fourth row
being in corr would admit of sufficient
spreading of the cotton in the outside
rows of each group, thereby giving the
center row its requisite amount of room.
In my opinion, if any corn. ut all (and we
know there would be some) was made, it
would be almost clear gain.
1t might appear to some that the
unusua! narTOwness of the rows in the
cotton group, would cause the plants 20
