they are surveying the line, next
that they are grading and with an
earnestncss which indicates q firm

we have said before that the
exigencies of commerce demand
the early building of this road;
that its final completion can
only be delayed, but not completely
retarded, By tho efforts in various
ways OF opposition lines. We mean
from the endcavors of other commu.
mites who want to build themselves
up at the expense Of the whole
North Louisiana country. We refer
to st. Louis aud other cities whose
wishes, If crowned with success, will
divert from its proper and legiti.
mate channels the flow of produce
to market from all this country and
much Of Texas.
No sane man can doubt for d mo.
ment from where our sugar, &c,
ought to come, and which way our
cotton should go. Neither, certain.
ly, by the way Of st. Louis. Yet
such, beyond doubt, is the tendency
o. all trailroad enterprises which
would attract trade northward. The

Monroe will give to Louisiana pro.

chance the road falls into the hands
of those whose interests leads them

A Murderous Sea Flower.

One of the exquisite wonders OF
the sea is called the opelet, and is
about as large as the German aster,
looking indeed, very much like one.
Imagine very large double aster,
with a great many long petals of a
light green color. These lovely
petals do not lie quietly in their
places, but wave about in the water,
while the opelet clings to n rock.
How innocent and lovely it rocks
on its rocky bed! Who would sus
pect that it would eat anything
grosser than dew or sunlight? But
those beautiful waving arms, as you
call them, have use besides looking
pretty. They have to provide for
a large open mouth, which is hid
den down deep among them, so hid
den that one can scarcely find it.
Well do they perform their duty,
for the instant a foolish fish touches
one of the rosy tips, he is struck
with a poison as fatal to him as
lightning. He Immediately be-
comes numb, and in a moment stops
and then the other arms
wrap them selves around him, and
he is drawn into the huge. greedy
and he is seen no more.
Then the lovely arms unclose, and !
wave again in the water.

Our Milk and Butter Interests.


Few persons have an idea Of the
magnitude of the dairy interest of
the country. The number of mich
COWS is reported at 10000, 900, and
the estimated product, exclusive of
milk consumed, 225, 900 600 pounds
of cheese and 10000, 900 pounds
of butter, valued together at S206,
100000. New York is credited
with 1,35OOO0 mich cows, the other
States having S,650,O00. Calling
the value of each animal in this
State $35, the price of butter %
cents, and cheese IL cents per
pound, it appears that the cows are
worth SAT, 100000, and the product
annually about S45,0OO,0O0. The
average annual money value of the
product per COW, taking the States
together, New York excluded, is
$3.50; while in this State the aver
age annual product is $34, or $3.50
more than the like average in the
other States of the Union. While
New York has about one ninth of
the whole population of the coun-
try, it owns about one seventh OIL
the dairy interest of the United
States.

Another Cure for Hog Cholera

We make the following extract
frQm communication published in
the GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Tobacco
Leaf, in regard to the cure of hog
cholera:
Hog cholera has ragged all around
our farm this year, and is still here
but'qpon much smaller scale than
1T was. AS there have been so
many cures for cholera told the
farmer, 1t seems almost useless 60
give another, but those who think
they can stand another dose can
take this-a treatment that has
never been known to fail since we
began trying it, ten or twelve years
ago. 1t has been said that AN
ounce of preventive is worth
pound of cure This is our idea
about hog cholera: 1. We grease
our hogs once a month with dirty
lard by rubbing it on with tobacco
thoroughly saturated in this melted
grease. 2. We haul out all their
beds every two or three months.
and use them for manure, leaving
the hogs to make new ones, 3. We
keep ashes, coal and salt where the
hogs can get to them, and give them
,opperas and sulpher every two or
'hree months. The ashes, coal and
salt we mix up in box or wagon
BED and throw anywhere near the
eedipg place in several piles, and |
hen scatter the copperas and sui
'her on top. If you will notice,
Then your hogs are done eating,
hey will go directly to this mixture
nd partake OF it almost every
ime."

Goats on the Sheep Farm.

1t is said that goats will protec
sheep from dogs. A farmer who
for years kept large number Of
sheep in Southern Indiana, recently
purchased he goat and turned him
loose among his sheep without any
knowledge of the fact stated. To
his surprise his sheep were unmo
Tested TO- months thereafter, al
though his near neighbors lost
sheep from dogs every week. He
accounts for his immunity from
loss by the presence of his single
and belligerent billy goat. As it
costs nothing to raise a few billy
goats, it would be we'll enough for
sheep breeders to give this a thor
ough trial, remembering that some
breeds are much more pugnacious
than others, and that it is necessary
for feeding, folding and herding
goats and sheep together to get
them thoroughly affiliated. Goass
may be habituated to running with
sheep, SO that they will never leave
them, in which case an old long
horned, war-like billy goat, who
faneies himself king and protector
10 the flock, will be, against dogs, a
protection and a safeguard.

Onions a Cure for Group.

A lady who speaks from expert
ence says that probably nine child
rem out of ten who die of Group
might be saved by the timely appli-
cation of roast onions, mashed, laid
upon folded napkin and goose
oil sweet oil, or even lard, poured
on and applied as warn as can be
borne comfortably to the throat,
upper part of the chest, and to the
feet and hands. Give also a tea
spoonful of syrup of ipecac every.
twenty minutes until vomiting is
produced.

Work for Women.

An exchange has this to say: An
Eastern paper remarks that during
the hard times several Boston girls
decided to accept honest house
work" If the boston girls adhere
to their decision after the hard
times have passed the period OF
tribulation will not be without its
good results. The objection of
girls, who are compelled to earn
their own living, to homework is
incomprehensible. In nine cases
out of ten, capable, reliable girl is
treated With as much consideration
as men who work for a salary.
They are so desirable that families
which are so fortunate as to secure
one give them no cause to leave. 1t
is an unquestioDable fact, ALSO which
holds good in this city, as well as
others, that families which are in
moderate circumstance embarrass
themselves by keeping one or more
servants, while the young ladies
pass their time in idleness or pur-
suits which are. neither profitable
nor instructive. They are unwill-
ing to do the work of their own
kitchens, while the head of the fam
lily works hard to keep a roof over
their own heads. When a girl finds
that she m9st work or starve, the
only avenue to employment she
will contemplate is store or school, |
music teaching or some similar vo |
cation. Homework secures a com
Portable home, as faithful protection
Is the daughters of the house, and
yearly income of from $3.50 to $3.50.
Still girls avoid house work, and
;rowd into stores, factories and
similar places, where the hours are
ong, the wages scanty, and posi-
ions precarious. A revival of
honest housework would be the
most productive of happiness for
he sex of any change we can sug
,est.

Useful Information.

When the voice is lost,as is some
times the case from the effects of
cold, a simple remedy is furnished
by beating up the white of an egg,
adding to it the juice of one lemon,
and sweetening with white sugar to
the taste. Take teaspoonful from
time to time.
Mr.. d. G. Lane, from the West
India Islands, writes as follows to
the Council Bluffs Globe. The re-
cipe given may be worth remem-
bering: For the last two weeks |
have been in this country from the
West Indies, and / find the grass
nopperS making great ravages in
vegetation. In order to prevent
this, burn one pound of sulphur on
charcoal in the center of a field,
and save what it has taken so much
toll TO develop. To prevent pota-
to bugs from destroying the crop,
plant two grains of 6axseed in each
hill. This will prevent them from
ihjuring the potatoes, as they will
not go near the flax.
To select good flour, wet and
knead a little. If it is soft and
clammy it is bad; if it feels dry in
the fingers and works elastic and
springy, it is hopeful. Spring wheat
is likely to he sticky and poor. III
while being white it has also a slight
straw-colored or yellowish tint it is
good, If it is dead white with
blush shade, or has dark notes In
it, don't buy it. Hold some of it
tight in the hand, and throw it
against the wall, and if it sticks in
lump it is likely to be good; if it
falls at once like powder, have none
of it. If it retains the shape of the
fingers when clasped tightly in the
hand it may be trusted.
A successful experiment of wheat
growing on new system has been
made by D. o. Rissell, of Goose
lake, Modoc County, California, ,
Who wagered that he could raise
orty bushels to the acre from one ,
'ound of seed. The test was made Z
N tract measuring exactly the q
ighth of an acre, which was subdi +
ided into spaces about nineteen
y thirty-seven inches apart, and
NO ounces of seed were planted,
fter the fashion of Indian corn.
instead of being scattered broad .
asst, it was irrigated and cultivated Il
l the same way as Indian corn, .
nd the. yield was ten bushels, or at ?
he rate of eighty bushels To an l'
ere, twice the crop called for in n
lie wager. In the same field wheat II
iltiyated in the ordinary way only &c
elded at the rate of twenty bush u
S to the acre. 81

a Beautiful Thought.

When the summer of youth is
slowly wasting on the night fall OF
age, and the shadow of the path
becomes deeper and life wears to
its close, it is pleasant to look
through the waste of time upon the
sorrows and felicities of our earli
er years. If we have had a home
to shelter and hearts to rejoice with
us,and friends have gathered around
our fireside, the rough places of
wayfaring viii have been worn and
smooth away in the twilight of life,
and dark spots we have passed will
grow brighter and more beautiful.
Happy, indeed, are those whose in
tercourse with the world has not
changed the tone of their holier
feeling or broken those musical
chords of the heart, whose vibra-
tions are so melodious, so tender
and so touching in the evening of
their lives

Butter Cows.

Personal examination and much
inquiry has almost persuaded us
that the Jerseys are the cattle best
adapted to the South. Cattle so
small as they cannot require heavy
pasturage, and can be easily carried
through our winters without the
necessity of tons of good hay being
previously housed for their con
sumption. A short-horn of usual
size is more than twice as large as
an average Jersey, and no doubt
would produce twice the amount of
beef. But it is not beef cattle that we
want particularly. We are much
more in need of small cattle that
can live and thrive upon our scant
pastures, endure our long summers,
and produce as good milk and
plenty of butter.
We have read of Durham cows
giving seventy pounds of milk per
day for months, but never heard of
one Welding over fifteen pounds of
outer in week. And so of Dew
ons, and smaller breeds; we know
they have MIXED up to sixty pounds
per day; but fifteen pounds of but
ter per week has been their maxi
mum, so far as we know. We have
seen a statement of an Ayrshire
cow that yielded three thousand five
hundred quarts of milk in one year,
from which three hundred pounds
of butter were produced.
But however extravagant all this
may seem, the reports about the
Jerseys surpass them all We have
been told by more than one North
ern friend, that they had Jersey
cows that gave twenty-five % thirty
quarts of milk daily, and produced
weekly fifteen pounds of butter for
months. We have read of Jersey
COWS producing twenty pounds of
butter in week.
Why do not our Changers unite
and import Jersey bulls all over the
South2 1t can easily be done, and
when we reject upon the improve
ment made in the common stock by :
such crosses, it is amazing that it is
not done.
How many persons know that if
hey eat butter three times day it '
will cost more than the bread they 4
sat2 But such IS the fact.-[D.
