Republican club Of Dallas County.

Republican club met at 1850 u. M.
last night, at Germania hall, with o
quorum and proceeded TO business,
the members seemed to think that
something was to be- acted on by the
ring" that has formerly used the
party for their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
but the parties did not make their APP
pearance, therefore the walls OF wrath
were not poured forth.
Mr.. Schenck made rather lengthy,
speech, denouncing all rings and com.
binations and especially the ring rul-
ing the republican party OF Dallas.
He was followed by Mr.. e. G. Slater
in a loud speech ION the bloody
shirt order) charging officers in high
authority Of making speeches with
copper-heads and altogether was very
bad, aud wanted the sympathy of the
party extended to him SLATER in or
der that he might stand it.
Mr.. Slater was followed by Mr.. J. G.
Bigger, who made a speech on the
subject, as the policy of II. b. Hayes
the policy OF therepublicans.n While
defining the probable intentions and
consequences Of the executive, which
might all be Tor the best in the end,
he advocated patience and unity Of
feelings and do what e'er they may,
not TO split the party, for in unity
there Ia strength.
He was for testing the presidents
policy and II 1t was found TO work
detrimental to the interests of the
party, to unite in opposing the policy
tooth and toe nail.
Motions were now In order to ad-

The Louisiana cotton-boll. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], Attakapas, La.) 1872-1883, 1877-09-12

The average value of the boots and
shoes produced in 1915 was 20 cents 6
pair, in 1866 80 cents, in 1865 $1.80, and
in 1875 $3.50. It is impossible to say
how far this represents also fluctuations
in the quality of the goods, but it is
probable that the cheapening of labor
and the introduction of machinery have
together reduced the price in the last
decade. The value of the carpetings was
so per yard in 1866, and less than 70
cents per yard in 1875-which shows the
source of the immense supply of dollar
c~arpetings. The great reduction in the
number of employees in the clothing bust
ness shows to what an extent the sewing
machine, the machine-shear and Lmore
careful graduations of "ready-made /"
having superseded the need of the tailor
and the needle-woman. In this line of
goods, also, the great public has been
compensated by the increased cheapness
of clothing. The average value Of the
cotton cloth manufactured was 8 cents
per yard in 1856, 81 cents in I865aand
nearly 9 cents in 1875, since which prob
ably it has been considerably reduced.
Metallic works and paper manufacturing
show a pretty stable relation between
the value of the product and the number
of laborers required. Wooden manufac-
lures, Of the other hand, like cotton.
show a much greater increase in wards
than in operatives. The wooden product
was valued at 46 cents per yard in 1855.
and 81 per yard in 1856, and A cents Del
yard in 1875. Our entire production of.
textiles in Massachusetts, in 1875 was
992, 009, 900 yards, or if we regard the
earth as a spool on which to wind it,

t#enty-three times, a yard wide.-Spring-

Fan Seeding.

We happened the other day to pass a
field in which the owner was cutting one
of the finest crops of h~erdsgrass we have
seen this year. AS it was the last of
July, and the grass was just in blossom,
we stopped and asked the reason WHY it
was SO late, The answer was at was
sown down last fall. We had potatoes
here last year, and after they were dug
in September, l plowed the land, har-
rowed in a light coat of manure, and
sowed it to h~erdsgrass. BY doing this /
have got 0 good catch, and a crop of
grass Q year earlier than / would had I
not sowed it down until last spring. /
shall serve nay potato fields the same way
this fall, for / am tired of trying to get a
catch with grain. Oats are sure death
TO grass, and this crep of herdsgrass is
worth much more than what wheat I
could have got OF the land would have
been. # we could SOW clover in the fall
and make II live through the winter as
herdsgrass will, ! would never SOW an
other grass seed in the spring.-N ~.

KeepinG np b Soil.

The agricultural mind is gradually I'M
dergoing a change upon this subject. 1t
was once believed that cultivating the
soil and raising crops therefrom, must
necessarily exhaust it, and in accurate
account with the farm it wa believed
proper allowance should be made for the
deterioration or wearing out of the soil,
just allowance should be made for the
wearing out of work animals and ma
chinery. But the conviction has gradu-
ally been gaining ground that the system
Of husbandry which raises the largest
crops rather improves than exhausts the
soil; that a mar may GO on for a series
of years making money from Alarm, and
at the same time increasing its produc-
tive capacity and value.
We were led into this train of thought
by looking e the farm, recently, of
Mr.. Edmund Reynolds, in Ontario
county. We knew this place forty years
ago, and for the following twenty years
were quite familiar with the crOpsi it pro-
duced, and we saw better wheat, better
oats, and better grass growing on the
same land, the other day, than it produced
from twenty-five to forty years ago.
And this is not an exceptional year in
this respect, but the crops have been
gradually improving during the last ten
and twenty years.
The improvement has been brought
about by judicious rotation of crops, by
blowing under clover, by keeping more
stock, by deeper and more thorough pull
verizatien of the soil, and, to some ex-
tent, by drainage. During this time the
Improvements have been paid for in the
increased productions of the soil. We
are inclined to believe that naturally
good soil is inexhaustible under wise
tillage; that a bountiful and economical
Providence so locked up the elements of
plant-food in the soil that mans IMPROVE
dence cannot exhaust them entirely. The
food of plants IN the soils is so ehemi-
cally combined with the other minerals
of which it is composed that it requires
time, the gradual action of the forces of
nature and of art, and the. growth of
plants, to dissolve and remove it, and
thus God has SO entailed the earth that
nan is unable to spend his rich inner
itance, but is forced to hand it down from
generation to generation.-Rwa Home.

The prospects of the wheat crop in Cal
ifornia are improving the yield will be
larger than wa anticipated.
Southern and southwestern Georgia is
acquiring the reputation of being the
best region in the United States for sheep
raising.
The corn crop of New Hampshire prom
ises to be much increased this year. A
larger mount of acreage will be planted,
and great care taken in the selection OF
the seed and its cultivation.
A wealthy mar in Indiana has lost a
thousand bushels of wheat through the
work of grain weevils; but il somebody
had asked him to pay 50 for a book on
noxious insects or subscribe for an ento-
biological paper, he would have indig-
nantly refused to do either, and considered
himself " smart )" in refusing.
The Angora goats from Asia have been
introduced into Texas very largely
within the last few years. One man now
has about 1000 crossed with the Mexican
goat. The hair or wool is long, and will
sell from rs cents to a dollar a pound !;
the ski or hide makes the morocco
leather and kid gloves; the suet is the
bestin the world and the meat of the
young goat is tender and toothsome. On
the whole, the goat ~businessin Texas and
Mexico promises to be a great feature of
their future.
Says the New York Graphic So far
We have enjoyed our boasts of our in
creasing beef trade with England. But
no rose is without a thorn. A dismal
wall is commenced to be heard at home.
Our own. prime joints and roasts are
given out, and even now are difficult to
procure. Only the best cattle are shipped
to England. None go under fourteen
hundred pounds weight. Forty-fye
thousand of such cattle have already
crossed the Atlantic. John Bull is lit
orally taking the fat of our land and Ieav-
ing us only the lean, and the trade is
only in It's infancy"
Jas. Mckay, says the Toronto Globe,
has six bufaloes on his grazing farm at
Long Lake, Manitoba. Two of these are
calves brought from the west last TALL,
the others are older, some of them full
grown. They feed with cattle during
the winter, accompany them to the river
for water every day, and are among the
first to enter the warm stables for shelter
at night. The bufaloes, from natural
instincts, are conscious of an approaching
storm some time before felt, and retire to
comfortable quarters in the stables some
times an hour or two before the storm
arises.
A member of the American Institute
Farmers club, at a recent meeting.
said he desired to speak aSood word for
the cottonwood, which wonderful tree ia
fast commencing itself to western farm
ers, On account Of its exceedingly rapid
growth and the reluctance with which it
dies. He could not understand why this
tree, so easily cultivated Ind 50 useful.
has not been adopted in the eastern
states. The cuttings can be obtained
from nurserymen west, at a small cost.
The cottonwood not only furnishes good
fuel in a short time, but makes a shade
tree unsurpassed for cattle.

following remedy has been used with
great success by the farmers of this
section. Corncobs, Goals powdered and
mixed with kitchen slop or slop made of
wheat bran or corn meal. Feed two or
three times per week.
John Alley, of Sequatchie: Give the
hogs plenty of wood ashes with a little
copperas once a week, also some sulphur;
pour coal oil on them to kill the lice, or
rather to keep the lice from accumu-
lating, and I will venture We never have
cholera. Hogs should not be permitted
to lie about the barn and in the road
ways.
J. NJ. Lemar, of Union: A good
remedy for cholera is a sour slop with
soft soap, turpentine copperas and sui
phur mixed in and given every two
weeks.
Hon. Samuel Perkins. of Williamson,
who is eminent as a swine breeder, says,
under date of Aug. S: While the cholera
has been fatal in many neighborhoods
where pr~eventives such as copperas, tur-
pentine, tar and sulphur have been
used and the pastures frequently changed,
the disease has been generally controlled.
My experience has been this: Before
using turpentine and tar | lost several
times nearly my entire stock of hogs F.;
since l have used these pNventives with
sulphur, copperas and ashes mixed with
salt, I have scarcely lost any, always
checking the cholera in a few days.
Take the usual feed of corn, shell it aud
put it into a vessel, pouring turpentine
enough to thoroughly coHer it with a
shovel take the corn out md put it in a
basket, draining the t%urpentine into the
vessel sgain. Continue the use of the
turpentine on corn until it acts freely on
the kidneys, then discontinue.
Elijah Dougherty, of Johnson, says:
One of my neighbors has been using
hoarhound as a preventive. He chops
it up fine and feeds to his hogs in slop.
He has used it for several years and with
success, while his neighbors' hogs have
died all around him. We hear of late
that tobacco stems in the beds where the
hogs lie is a good preventive of cholera.

AMERICAN SUGAR INTERESTS.

Gen. Leduc, the commissioner Of agri
ulture, has for some time been engaged
in the consideration of important mat
tiers affecting the sugar interests of the
United States, with particular attention
to the subject of increased growth of
that staple in this country. He believes
that there a be a saving of more than
sixty millions of dollars a year to this
country by the production Of the sugar
athome that ia now imported from abroad.
The commissioner is now in correspond
ence with sugar planters and Others in
the south and southwest, and has also
received information from the growers of
sugar-beet in support of his intention by
endeayoring to decide upon some manner
for largely increased growth of sugarin
the United States. The general agree
ment of planters and others is that there
can be much heavier Productio nsofsugar
in this country than there is at present,
and all who have communicated with
the commissioner on the subject V
their earnest anxiety to give him all the
benefits Of their experience on this sub
ject, and assist HMM his efforts wherever
thew can.
