Ssahea Corn for Hors.s.

During the warm weather there is a
great deal Of fatiguing and exhaustive
work ior the teams, and they should
have wholesome food and plenty of it.
Oats is probably the best grain for food
for working horses, with occasional feeds
OF shorts, bran, corn etc. All animals
relish frequent changes OF food, and there

b beneficial to health than that I 40
petite Graves it.
Few farmers, however, have any other
grain or their working teams through
the spring and summer than corn, which
u at this season very hard and dry. To
remedy this and make the grain more
tooshsome and wholesome for horses,
when fed whole, it should be soaked.

become very fond OF the soaked corn,

ReclaimIng Louisiana Land.

Louisiana land is coming up--out of
the water. A company was organized
to recover from tidal overflow a large
tract of swamp land and marsh land In
the parish OF Terrebonne and devote il
to the cultivation OF rice. The work of
dredging and leveling has been carried
on 30 far that an experimental field of
seventy five acres of rice is already in
cultivation, and everything indicates
that the enterprise will prove entirely
successful. The soil becomes firm and
solid when we'll drained, and can be
drained a. small COS: compared with
the returns from the crops. As these
crops are benefited by being flooded
from April to August, the land when
once we'll ditched and leveled, would
only need to be drained twice q year, for
the spring planting and the fall harvest.

Christopher Poppy, the well-known
millionaire, has lately made several i'm
portant purchases, among which is that of
our beautiful city park, upon which he
proposes to erect family residence, which
will be monument of beauty, and the
wonder of the nineteenth century. He
proposes to make the first story of this
magnificent structure of iron, and the re-
naming twhnty-nine stories of glass of the
rain bow color. In addition to this. he
says. he has perfected arrangements where
by he hopes to have his mammoth beer
garden in full blast, which will occupy the
entire park. He says he has already pur
chased $4,000 seats for the benefit of the
many thousands Of people who will travel
from every quarter Of the globe to gaze
upon this monument of architectural

Vox what is wrong about Karr's multipli-
cation. and when did he ever illegally get
one cent off Of the laboring man or any
body else? If you know any thing, trot it

let on as though you knew something in
order to scare somebody. Such men as NoI

This bragadocio (Vox), drawing himself

"If ,Karr is nominated we lose all interest
in the ticket, and we do not hesitate to say
that if he is the only one defeated we will
