NORTHERN F4RnERs LyrHE soUrH.

NORTHERN farmers LyTHE SOUTH.
But not only do northern farmers sue
coed in cotton painting in the south, but
they also become champion sugar grow
ers. Most northern farmers have had
experience as manufacturers of maple
sugar-Csl in the south tree sugar
and wher they attempt the cultivation
Of cane and the manufacture of sugar
therefrom they usually succeed better
than southern planters do. One reason
for this is that the northern farmer not
only acts as his'own Overseer, but he
brings to the business an intelligence
which is 50 far superior to that possessed
by overeers or hands that he makes
none of the failures which ignorance is
ever liable to. He soon discovers all Of
the best methods of rolling his cane and
eyaporating his sap. lie also is possessed
of more or less inventive ability and can
make such repairs or alterations in his
machinery, furnaces, evaPorators, etc,
as will secure best results. He is also
able to understand the kind of culture,
soil, and composts needed for cane or cot
ton, and in the course Of a few years his
plantation becomes I model for the entire
country.
Near Baton Rouge Mr.. LarrimOre, for
many wears a farmer of St. Louis county
and father of the Larrimore brothers who
manage the Central grain elevator Of
this city, operates a very extensive sugar
plantation, and by his industry, intelli-
gence, perseverance, economy aud sys-
tenn he has made the production of sugar
a success, where othermen, who supposed
themselves to possess more practical ex-
perience as cane-growers than he, have
failed and abandoned the business.
Mr. Larrimore says that northern
farmers can grow cane with As much sue
cess and certainty IS they can corn, and
with less labor and trouble, and tLey can
manufacture the sugar quite as easy as
they can sorghum or maple. Land is
cheap and fortunes are easily made in
this business. The climate OF Louisiana
and Mississippi, and in fact OF Alabama
and Georgia, Is a much more enjoyable
one than that ofOhio, Illinois Wisconsin,
Michigan or New York, and OF course is
far superior to that Of the eastern sea-
board state where pulminavy difficulties
are % frightfully prevalent.
1t isa mistake to suppose that the eli
mate of these states is too hot and ener-
waiting for northern people. The winters
are mild and admit Of constant outdoor
work, and during the fall and winter
months all Of the vegetable growth in
northern gardens May be produced, such
aslettuce. radishes, spinach, caulihower,
cabbages, beets, sweet corn, early rose 20
toes, beans, peas, onions, tomatoes, cC~
cumbers, strawberries, rasPberries, black
berries, etc, and not q small amount Of
money is earned by the northern people
who take advantage Of their knowledge
of how to grow these things and ship
them northward about February or
March.
The northern farmer can make a for
tune in the southern states by the eXPen-
diture Of the same labor and capital which
barely makes him living in the more
severe climate and unkind soil OF his ma
tive plaee.-&. Losi' Repu5tou",

[From the Boston Daily Advertiser
The Timber Supply.

Mr.. James Little of Montreal, who has
appeared already several times as an
alarmist on the subject of the drain upon
American and Canadian forests, has writ
ten another pamphlet in which he rcter-
ates his warnings and his predictions of a
speedy exhaustion of all the forests on
the continent There is so much of
truth in what he has to say, and so much
of reality in the danger against which MIR.
Little beseeches the people of the United
States and Canada to take preventive
measures, that it is a pity he should in
jure his cause by what looks like exag-
geration. We can give no exact statis-
tics in answer to those of Mr. Little, but
it is altogether incredible that Canada is
cutting down her forests at such rate
that she will not, "a dozen years, at the
outside hence, 'have foot left this
side Of the Rocky Mountains of the COM
mcrcial woods" that form chief article
OF export and supply the home market.
Mr. Little believes Maine will be stripped
bare of all merchantable lumber in five
years. The other eastern States as far
south as Pennsylvania and as far,west as

lhulaNiti ne SAYS, are already stripped,
with the exception OF PennsSkaDia,
which + nearly bare. The Southern sup
plies be thinks viii not last long In the
great Northwest only the forests IN Mich>
igan, northern Wisconsin aud mort Aeast-
crn Minnesota are len MichigaR will be
exhausted in six years, and the other dis
trictS in three years more. Fhs predic-
ton of Mr.. Little, therefore, amounts to
this; that in ten years at the. outside the
United States east OF the Rocky Noun
tains will be entirely denude,l Of timber
forests; and that two years later Canada
will be stripped as completely.
Although we believe the exhaustion of
our forests is not so near as that, there is
very serious cause for alarm at the rapid
destruction that is taking place. When
we have used up our supplies we must go
abroad for more, and pay several times
the price we now receive from foreigners
for the excess which is shipped so lavish
ly. Then it will be worth while to go
systematically into forest culture, but it
will be great many years before we can
begin to gather the crop. We are evil
IDENTIFY taking but the shortest and mar
rowest look into the future when we
waste such enormous quantities of wood,
and when we make great exertions to
market as much of it as possible. Moth
ing is more certain than that within very
few years the price of lumber will rise
greatly, owing to the deficiency of the
supply. Those owners of wood. land who
can resist the temptation to seek an i'm
mediate market will profit largely by so
doing. We can retard the destruction
that is going on only by appealing to the
way in which government can Interfere
to prevent timber cutting.
1t has been suggested that reciprocity
with Canada would save our forests at
the expense of the Canadian. We do not
think so. The Canadian lumbermen are
no wiser than our own, to be sure, and
they would Undoubtedly hew down their
forests at an increased rate and compete
with our people in our own markets.
But, on the other hand, most American
forest owners cut down trees for lumber
because they must. The result of re-
ciprocity would therefore be ruinous
competition and still lower prices on a
glutted market, where there should be
higher prices and amore prudent use OF
wood. Mr.. Little writes, of course, from
a Canadian point of view. He says it is
too late to do anything except to inter
pose an obstacle that might prolong for
a few years the period within which the
forests of Canada will yield anything.
He would have prohibition put upon the
cutting of square timber, as being in it,
self wasteful, and as making easy the
destruction of pine forests by fire. That
is a remedy which we in the United States
cannot apply. The only thing we can dc
is to assure owners of woodland that
their property will be much more valua-
BILE if they can have the nerve to let their
axes rust for period of ten years.

community is the want of community
of ceiling. Soci@l unity is Il power
hardly known in any place. 0stra-
cisms, jsnghngs and cliques IN Il COM

be hailed with joy that tends to ce-
mcnt people, aud make them one il
the life race. Such a people never
fail in true advancement. l.. most of
our towns there is great need of al
awakening in morals, and true pub
lic spiIit. Anything that betterS the
individual, betterS the community and
vice versa. Any public work or any
thing that the whole people are bene-
fitted by. should command the thought
and purse Of the people. The want
of concord is often seen in lack OF
