STRAw.-For fear we may forget il
when harvest comes on, We give the eX
perience of several eninently practical
and successful farmers, and to much of
which we can add our testimony, as to
the value of straw, or rather how it can
be made valuable forage. In Englrnd
the straw crop (hardly noticed here) is
regarded of nearly as much value (per-
haps as much as is the hay crop in this
State. We have frequently heard the
remark, not only as to horses, but cattle,
that ''they would only eat straw because
they could get nothing else"
Ii the wheat is cut before it is too ripe
and is threshed and put in barn before
it has been caught in rain, horses and
cattle will eat and thrive on it without
being forced by starvation. Every farm
er can save more or less in this manner
every year. We have known colts and
young cattle to keep in good order on
straw thus saved without other food
They had good stabling, however.
The most successful method of making
straw of great value was given US by ii
Southwestern man, and we know it is
true, to wit: mixing straw with fresh
cut grass, or more especially clover
Many farmers thresh their oats in the
spring, and waste Or throw away the
straw as of little value. Many have large
quantities of good wheat straw left over
in the spring, which is wasted or scat
tered on the land. All the straw, and
especially oat straw, not absolutely
necessary for winter feeding, should be
well kept under cover till the time of
moving. AS soon as grass is cut it may
be put up in ricks or in barns in alternate
layers, beginning with straw, sowing {.
sprinkling of salt on the green grass.
Clover should be left to wither, say half
day, in the sun. The straw absorbs
much of the sap and flavor of the grass,
and this process is greatly aided by the
dissolving salt. The strow and salt pre-
vent the grass and clover from spelling,
and the whole mass is made into valu-
able forage most palatable for horses as
well as cattle. This need not be called
an experiment: it has been tested, and
meets want often felt by those farmers
who find pleasure and profit in stock
raising. NeaOs.

THE DEMOCRAT.

A good newspaper must publish every
kind Of news, every battle Of Europe,
every murder in the city, and great
deal more besides. The DEMOCRAT con-
tains every day several hundred items
Of news that no other paper In the city
has, for the wants, auction sales. Off
cial proceedings Of the City Council,
ETC., which it alone gives, are all items
OF news, most important and interesting
to thousands of persons. The DEMO
Graf Of this morning contains report
OF yesterdays City Council. with i'm
portant proceedings, ana an official and
detailed report Of tho State debt by the
Funding Board. The latter document,
particularly, is most interesting news to
thousands Of people, both in and out of
the State, giving, as it does, a complete
financial history of the State for several
years, and ought to be in the hands of
every Louisianian, and Of every person
interested In our State consols.
These documents, with the wants.
auction sales, etc., constitute in them
selves a vast news department which
the other papers do not have, but
which the DEMOCRAT gives in addition to
all the news Of the day, cable, tele-
graphic and local.

TOUCHING SCHOOL BOOKS.

a., -, coiI

Touching school books, the Times
yesterday morning said:
"Some of the publishers whose books were
adopted by the board and were subsequently
thrown out, claim that under the law their
books are the legal text books for four years,
and that neither the board nor anyone else
can reconsider or revise and alter the list
Now, then, only A. s. Barnes q Co.,
publishers Of the Watson readers; Van
Antwerp, Bragg & Co.. publishers Of
McGuffey's readers, and Harper &
Brothers, publishers of the Wilson
reader. have any concern in this mat
ter. The Watson readers having been
adopted by the authorities for the
graded schools, A. s. Barnes & Co., OF
course, are not referred to in the above
paragraph, because their readers have
been adopted by the Superintendent OF
Education; Van Antwerp. Bragg & Co.,
the publishers Of the McGuffey books,
cannot be the parties who propose to
resort to the law in this business.
/. Because the selection of their books
for the ungraded schools gives them a
very profitable contract, the loss OF
which they are not disposed to risk by
antagonizing the School Board and Su-
perintendent. 2. Because their agent
disclaims any such purpose in the fol-
lowing letter to the editor Of the Demo-
GRAFT, and prompted, we have no doubt,
by the recent injudicious and silly at
tacks of the Times upon the State Board
OF Education:
Editor Democrat-As agent for the pub
fishers of McGuffey's Reader, | have no
intention nor design to take the text book
matter into the courts, and have never lnt1-
mated such an intention to any newspaper
reporter or any attache Of any paper; and

Who then are the publishers that pro-
pose to appeal to the courts to force the
State Board to stand by its provisional
list of school books ? Why the patrons of
the New Orleans Times, Messrs. Harper
Brothers. The provisional list includes
a grammar series of the Harper Broth
ers, and if those malignant enemies Of
our people and patrons OF the Times
could compel the authorities to stan to
the provisional list of books, they will
force the State to give them very
profitable contract.
The Harper Brothers refused to make
any liberal arrangement with our State
authorities and yet their organ, the
New Orleans Times, Is now endeayor-;

Whereas information has been received at the
Executive Department OF this state that the

FAYE and LOUIS GREVEMBEhG in the par
sh Of st. Mary, and that OF DR.. BUSSEY, in
the parish of IBERIA were. on the Goth ult1mo.
set on fire. and whereas this act Of incen-
diarism demands that the perpetrator or per-
petrators thereof be brought to justice and
dealt with according to law.
Now, therefore, l, FRANCIS r. NICHOLAS,
Governor of the State of Louisiana, have
thought proper to issue this my proclamation,
calling upon the good people Of this state to
give their aid and assistance in arresting and
bringing to justice the perpetrator or perpe-
traitors of said crime in order that they may
alb ide their trial before the courts of the coun-
try and by virtue of the authority in me vested
by the laws of this State, | hereby offer re-
ward of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the
arrest Of the supposed incendinry or incen-
diaries, and the furnishing OF such evidence as
will secure the proof and conviction thereof.
In testimony whereof have hereunto affixed
my signature and caused the seal Of the State Of
Louisiana to be hereunto attached. at the city OF

The Times, in its evening edition Of
yesterday, publishes a characteristic
editorial about the burning, last week,
Of the sugar-houses on the Teche. Sat-
urday morning we printed, on the
authority of gentleman Of standing,
an account Of the affair. We said it was
the deed of incendiaries, and was evil
IDENTIFY part Of general and diaboli-
cal plan of arson. Inspired, no doubt,
by small and pitiable jealousy Of the
DEMOCRAT, the Times, with evident
malice and conspicuous idiocy. attempts
to belittle and ridicule this very alarm
ing state Of affairs which we stated ex-
listed in the parishes Of Iberia and st.
Mary.
The Times says the sensation has been
going through process of diminution
since last week, that it was a canard,
tina. after all there were but two harm
less fires, etc. What faithful ohron-
icler of events the Times is, and how
diligently it ever seeks the news is glar-
ingly shown by the fact that the Gov
ernor Of Louisiana has, after investiga-
ton, deemed the Teche affair Of such
importance as to issue his proclama-
ton, offering reward of five hundred
dollars for the apprehension and con-
viction of the incendiaries who did, as
we said, set fire to1fue sugar houses.

THE MOFFETT REGISTER.

The other day we presented, some
what deliberately, the merits Of the Moi
felt register, and urged the benefits of
the system In this State. The very next
day the Times took up the suggestion,
which was all right and commendable,
but In its article it took occasion to say
that 1t had urged the same view weeks
ago, which was not true, and, therefore,
not commendable, at least under the
common Interpretation Of the COM
mandm ent which forbids the bearing Of
false witness. We will not allow our
selves, however, to be deprived Of the
rare qualification Of commenting the
journalism Of the Times, when 1t follows
the suggestions Of the DEMOCRAT, by
small peccadillo like this. We are will
ing that the Times should indulge its
little vice, knowing it to be inherent, If
1t will but contribute, in its way, of
course, to the attainment Of such pro-
jects as we have previously commended
to the public.
Our knowledge Of human nature for
bids an approval OF some of the argu-
ments urged by the Times, yet in as
Stunning the offices of Mentor for that
paper we shall endeavor to discharge
them mildly, and for that reason for
bear too harsh criticism for the present.
Still we must impress upon our ward
that the inculcation of the idea that
tax Of five cents per drink will place the
'.good old troublesome broth" beyond
the means OF the "son Of the soil' is not
calculated to make the Moffett plan
popular. Moreover, five dollars drink
would not keep him from getting it il
he happened to banker arter" 1t, and
we don't even believe that by reason of
such a tax the poor working man"
would have fewer temptations to "waste
his hard earnings in the qualification Of
a morbid appetite for drink"
III the "poor workingman have a
morbid appetite" all the Moffett reg
listers in Christendom would not circum-
vent him. This, then, is the wrong
treatment Of the matter. In Virginia,
where the system originated and has
met with practical success, it is most
popular with the saloon keepers, who
would certainly be the greatest suffer
ers were the expense Of drinking placed
beyond the indulgence Of the man of
humble means. How many households
] are there in this city whose domestic
arrangements are regulated with refer
ence to the Monday lunch set in all our
bar-rooms, and given free to all who pay
fifteen cents for drink. Raise the
price of the drink, so as to place it
beyond the means of the thou
sands OF clerks, porters and other
employees who avail themselves
OF free lunches, and see how soon
all their regulations would change.
This, then, is not the correct princi-
pie nor the popular argument. But let
us take the other view OF the case, and
calculate the many returns that the
State would realize at two and half
cents per- drink while it yet remained
within the ability Of all men. at least as
much as it does now, to gratify their
SPECIFICS. The Moffet register, Us 2
