Make a Note Of 1t.

ONE of the best practices is to keep a
record of such facts concerning farm mat
tiers as may have come within the limit OF
ones observations. One of the best ways
to get at the truth is to meet with ones
neighbors and compare notes. This is the
proper season of the year for doing this,
and we hope it will not be allowed to pass
by unimproved A neighbor may have
grown an unusually fine crop OF grass or
grain. If so, inasmuch as the soil on
which they were grown is similar to that
on your own farm, it will pay you to in
auire into the causes that have produced
so desirable a result. Was it owing to a
previous iudicious rotation of crops? Was
1t the application of barn-yard manure !?
or what was the cause? Perhaps it may
have been carly fall, late fall or winter
blowing the land If so, what were the
conditions of the soil at the time of plow-
ing?
1t is great point gained when one sets
himself about the task of observing close
" and makes careful record OF such oD-
servations. 1t is by observation that we
learn and that progress is made. we
should not only read and observe, but we
should take advantage OF what we thus
learn. and at once make such knowledge
ayailable-for it is in this way that sue
cess in farming or any other pursuit is
assured. -Colaan's Rural World.

INDUSTRIAL.

GEORGIA is gradually filing up with
cotton factories, which continue to arise
on every hand. The Memphis Aoalanche,
in noticing the latest enterprise of this
kind, predicts that the time is not far dis
tant when very large proportion of the
cotton grown in the South will be manu-
featured at home, not only for domestic
supply but for export.
THE sugar interest of Louisiana, which
was aforetime the basis of prosperity in
that State, is now giving promise OF re-
newed vigor. The crop this year is estI-
mated at about 10000 hogsheads. This
is the largest crop produced during the
past thirteen years, being fully one-third
larger than last year, and equal to about
half the average yield of the ten years i'm
mediately before the war
THE scarcity of labor in our large cities.
and the eagerness with which men out OF
work grasp at every opportunity OF earn
ing little money, were recently illus
trated in New York. The management
of Booths Theater advertised for some
men over six feet tall to act as auxiliaries
in a forthcoming spectacular tragedy. In
answer to the advertisement over 1000
giants presented themselves for engage
ment at fifty cents night.
Mr.. BRADIsH JOHNSON, one of the
largest sugar planters in Louisiana, deter
mined to make an innovation upon the
old style of taking off his crops. He is
about to adopt the portable-railway sys-
tenn, whereby it is estimated that one mule
will do the work of at least fifteen, and do
it better. Work will not have to be sus-
pended during bad weather, as is the case
where mules and carts are used, and after
the crop is off the track the cars can be
utilized for building and repairing levees,
hauling wood, coal, supplies, etc.
A RAILROAD man recommends as a
means of preventing the personal injury
and damage to property which result from
railway collisions, that passenger carriages
should be constructed of strong vulcanized
india-rubber, which, he says, can be
nodded up to any thickness and degree of
elasticity. The carriages would be
rounded at the ends instead of having
buffers attached; and these convex ends
would become concave in collision, but
would not jerk the carriages off the rails
like buffers. He proposes that the train
should be united by wire rope passed
through eyes underneath each carriage TO
a windlass on brake behind, which
would tighten it up to any tensity.
