Zone thing is quite noticeable" says
the Carroll Conservative, "and this is
that laborers are making their crops
this year with less expense, notwith-
standing the increased cost Of rations,
than for any year heretofore. They
seem to have got entirely over their
craving for whisky nnd sardines and
their desire to have merchant.
Such is the unanimous opinion Of
the country press. 1t has already been
shown that the laborers OF this State are
doing more work and raising more cot
ton and sugar to the hand than ever
before, even in ante-bellum days. Ii. In
addition to this, hard times have made
them economical. the success OF plant
ers md lahorers ought to be assured.
The character Of labor in Louisiana is
yearly improving, and it is to this more
than anything else that our increased
crops OF late years have been owing.
A few years ago, negro seldom
worked on the same place two seasons
in succession, deeming this a sort Of
relic of slavery and badge OF servitude.
Now, on the other hand, when he gets a
good place, he settles down on it, and
works there season after season.
The consequence Of this has been an
annual increase in the crops Of this
State and gradual improvement in
the condition of laborers, particularly
the negroes. When they have ceased
their habit of spending all their money
in whisky at some cross-road country
store, their education will be indeed
complete,

The California correspondent of the SIM
announced short time since that probably
during the month Of May the Southern Pa
cific road would be completed TO the Colorado
river and Arizona. telegram from Arizona
reports the track finished to within ten miles
Of that river. The distance completed be-
tween San Francisco and Fort Yuma, on the
Colorado, is therefore It's out of the 93S miles
subject to the land grant from the Federal
Government. This grant consists, for the
whole Of the distance specified, Of twenty
alternate sections for each mile of completed
road The number of acres covered by the
grant is 1928, s67, which, at the estimated
value of 81 80 per acre, would amount to $780,
634 667. All the land thus Il + sold along the
line of route has averlved prices one
third higher than the estimate. When the
road passes into Arizona the value of the
land grant will be comparatively small, but
as soon as the Southern Pacific, or the Texas
Pacific, which is prolongation of the same
line, crosses Texas, it will have the right to
claim the valuable land grant ceded TO the
company from the State of Texas In addition
to that Of the Federal Government.

CHICKEN CHohERA. ~When wo see
among young chickens ono or two standing
about in a listless manner, -their feathers
rufled and their wings hnaging loosely. wo
look for symptoms and cholera. Ordinarily
VIC should lay tho trouble to vermin in tho
shape of hoad or body lice, but those do not
infest our chickens, and among tho manv
hundreds that wo have growing up not a
single louise is to be found. r]
Cholera among chickens begins with n
slight diarrhpa---at least cholera in this
section Of tho county docs and its presence
may readily bo detected by examining the
exorcmont of tho chickens, which If tho
birds arc diseased will havo yellowish and
greeoish tipgo.
If tho chickens are examined there will
bc found below tho anal aperture few
feathers or particles of down sticking to-.
gcther. The liquid cxudation from tho
anus by which the adhesion Is made indi-
Gates cholera, and if (: is dried on tho
feathers, it is as sticky, or rather il holds
the feathers or down exactly as would gluo
or muologo.
Treatment at this early stage may bo
made successful. For medicine wo Give
extract of Jamaca ginger in milk, in tho
proportion Of tablespoonful to quart Of
milk; by giving them nothing else to drink
for day or twoa euro may bo effected.

QUEEN BEES. When swarm breaks off
from an old community to form new
colony, il is generally due to the appearance
OF new queen. Tho queen bee is USUALLY
quite coutcutcd with her lot, watching over
her progeny, active and patient in the caro-
of her eggs, and furious if rival arises in
the hive. She pounocs upon her, and thoy
sometimes fight to tho death. So we'll is
this understood in tho hive that the workers
take care to prevent such conflicts BY hold
ing back the new queen, just ready to be
hatched from her royal cell, till the bees
have swarmed. At such time tho workers
will stand by the cell out of which queen
is to be born, ascertain how far her trans.
formation is completed, and should thcro
DC disposition Of the young queen shortly
to creep out, they increase the deposit Of
wax upon the lid which shuts tho cell. thus
preventing the egrcss of tho royal prisoner.
If she tries to break through or attewp pts to
gnaw her way out, the workers crowd around
tho opening, on accumulate such an amount
OF wax upon it as to fsastrate oil her efforts.
When the old queen has peacefully departed.
the new ono is set free. What makes this
fact more extraordinary is that USUALLY tho
workers have never seen the birth of n
queen, or perfect female before; their
hive has known but ono queen, and vet
they anticipate and guard against all the
dangers lkoly to arise from a second. Can
1t be that these creatures do the right thing
