A writer upon this subject has said
that "potatoes in the raw state ought
never to be given to any animal, with
the exception of sheep and geese" 1t
is said a goose will thrive better, and
the flesh will be more gratefully favored
upon raw potatoes, sliced, than upon
any other article; while sheep will more
speedily thrive on raw potatoes than on
turnips; but, and especially in the be-
ginning, raw potatoes will scour cattle
and horses, and not unfrequently cause
death, while there is no danger of either
from boiled or steamed potatoes" 1t
may be true that they are excellent for
geese, and that they are excellent for
sheep is well known; of all animals the
sheep like a change from dry to green
food in the shape of roots; and that they
should thrive upon them better than the
turnip, for the reason that, according to
tables, the potato contains larger fat
substance and flesh-producing element
than the turnip. Thus fair product is
200 bushels, or $4,000 pounds of pota-
toes, from an acre, are estimated to
contain 2,640 pounds of material for the
animal system, while the average yield
of rutabagas of 10000 pounds contain
only 1,400 pounds; and similar yield
of turnips is but 400 pounds; so that
relatively they stand to each other as,
potatoes 2.640, rutabagas l, 440, and the
turnip $40, little better than third
the relative feeding value.
The chief advantage is obtained in
feeding to mature animals; if bony
structure is to be formed the turnip is
fully equal to the potato. That an ex-
cess of potatoes fed to cattle and horses
produce ill results cannot be doubted,
if the diet was exclusively potatoes; but
that small quantity, fed with dry hay,
produces injurious results, is unsuppos-
able. The boiling or steaming, which
generally means an addition of more or
less mild feed, would be much more
satisfactory. The same writer also
says, Pigs will not always eat, and
never can be fattened upon raw pota-
toes, while if they are boiled, next to
boiled peas, perhaps, will bring them
to the greatest weight they are capable
of attaining, and to greater perfection
than anything else that may be contin-
uously used with safety, admitting that
three to four weeks feeding upon corn,
oats or barley is necessary to make the
pork firm and impart flavor"
This is directly contrary to the expe-
rience OF successful pork raiser that
always estimated the value of potatoes
as four bushels to one of corn, and al
ways fed them raw for the reason that
he obtained much more satisfactory re-
suits.
Boil several bushels of potatoes, and
at the same time mix bushel of corn
meal, makes very satisfactory feed for
pork.

A good part of the brown coloring mat

GENERAL DEBILITY.-In this complaint the
good effects of the Vegetine are realized i'm
mediately after commencing to take 1t; as
debility denotes deficiency of the blood, and
Vegetine acts directly upon the blood. There
is no remedy that will restore the health from
debility like the Vegetine. 1t is nourishing
and strengthening, purifies the blood, regu-
lates the bowels, quiets the nervous system,
acts directly upon the secretions, and arouses
the whole system toaction. 1t has never failed

tain the same under the promise and pre-
tense Of going to work.
While visiting some friends In tho New
River settlement, l learned of terrible
accident, by which child Of Nj. Bour.
que was killed. On Saturday, the 9Th
inst, while corn-mill was in operation,
the little boy was caught and had its
head crushed by portion Of the ma
chinery, killing it instantly.
l find on this portion of the Coast
that most Of the planters have finished
planting cane, and the prospect for y
good crop this year better than it has
been for many years. The Fall planting
of cane is excellent, the stubble all good,
and with occasional exceptions, the seed
for Spring planting was very good.
l have heard Of very little Kansas fs.
yer in the parishes Of lberville, Ascen-
sion, Assumption and st. James, Yet,
on some plantations there is room for
many more. There is no doubt, how
ever, but the labor question Is becoming
more important every year, and the
time will come when the system of labor
will be changed. Necessity will force it.

Shortly after reconstruction, the deccas-
