Dunbar x Sons yesterday completed
their ten thousand cases containing
twelve thousand dozen of their pre-
pared and canned Barrataria shrlmps.
They commenced this industry Il little
over year ago. After many expert
ments they ut last succeeded IN pre-
pairing their delicious crustaVia 50 AS
to retain their eXcellencieS OF flavor.
They have managed to secure an I'M
mense trade and demand for them all
through the West, especially in the
Northwest. This demand has nearly
exceeded the supply, notwithstanding
the great enterprise OF the Messrs.
Dunbar in securing almost m0nOp-
oly Of the shrimps brought To our
market. They have been compelled
to enlarge the business of netting and
shipping shrimps, and thus have
given profitable employment to the
fishermen along the coasts. The sup
pIy0f this great dGlicaCy is represented
rs ineXhaustibIe. There is only a
lack of labor and skill in the catching
and preserving them fresh until they
can be brought to market. The
Mcssrs. Dunbar are fully prepared
with all the labor of preparing and
canning them, for expectation. Inc
shrimps are hulled OF shucked, boiled
and canned like Holsters in tin air
tight cans. But they are far superior
to Holsters in flavor, deliCacy, and fur
nish "A most delicious lunch az HHttrfi
or in salad, or to flavor a stew or
gumbO.
We learn that the Messrs. Dunbar
are about to enter into Il competition
with the Baltimore Gamers of oysters,
aud have made arrangements to secure
for this purpose large supplies Of the
best specimens of the famous Barra-
tartan bivalve. They will thus illus
trate the great and almost undeveloped
wealth of our bays and bayous.
We clip the above from the New
Orleans Times of Il late date. Pas a
goula, initiating the example of New
Orleans, is also building large fac
tory for the purpose Of canning oysters
and shrimps.
This Is comparatively new indus
try here, but Baltimore and other
Northern cities have thousands OF
hands and millions of dollars invested
in the business. We hope the day
will come when they will he cstab-
lished all along the line Of the rail
road, utilizing our surplus supply OF

Make Your own MOIRsses.


We are sorry to see that there Is not
rs much attention paid by our farmers
this season AS last, towards manufac-
turing their own molas'cs. ms Is
the case around here, and suppose II
is the same in great many o'hef
places.
While this may be the case here, the
neople of the West seem almost mat
mated on the sorghum industry Ihey
are building large sugar factories, and
around one little town in Illinois, there
was planted 10000 acres ia sorghum
cane alone.
Papers are opening their columns III
discussing the best modes of making
suvor and molasscs introducing inn
uroyed methods of culture and manur-
ing and there seems to be unusual inter-
nst manifested towards the encourage
ment and eXtcntion Of this compare
lively new industry ut the North ana
West. Texas also seems to be paying
more attention 70 this industry IMAM
ever before.
We have this advantage over the
West and North, if we are not salts
fed with the cultivation of sorghum
Inv the aid of manurcs, fine Louisiana
cane can be raised. But if the juice OF
sorghum is properly extracted ana
hoilcd, it makes very good molasses,
which now finds ready sale in the 81
Louis and Chicago markets. Besides
niolasses, the seed furnishes splendid
food for stock, and by the application
of manures there is nothing that viii
pay better.
Dr. Z. J. Scott, who is one of oul
most prosperous and successful farm
crs, told me only few day ago that
from less than Il half acre, he haC
made this season, over 100 gallons o
fine sorghum molus,es, which he hao
no trouble in selling. In addition tt
What pays better than this" 1t Is
good crop, because it never fails, even
during dry season.
You also have on hand the bagasse
which not only makes Il fine compos
for manure, but is now being manu-
featured into paper.
We hope that our people Will no
wholly neglect so important an in
dustry.
Plant cotton but don't neglect every
thing else for it. If your cotton fails
YOU will have your own moIasses a
home, and won't HAY" TO spend none
for it
Our most successful farmers ar

upon cotton, but live more at home

Facts About the Present Prosperity

The well-known correspondent
"Gath." writing from New York city,
the great center of Activities, says:
"The prosperity of the country, in all
most every department, is something
wonderful and an officer OF the Penn
sylvania railroad told me to-day that
they are $2,000,000 ahead of their re-
ceipts and business at that time last
wear, and that there had never been
so much travelling except in the few
months of the Centennial exhibition.
The peculiar relations existing be-
tween money and purchasers in New
York and mining investment and de-
velopment in the interior of the con-
tinent, require half the energetic men
in the country to go from the plains
to the sea-coast and back again four or
five times n year. Railroad building,
particularly in the far west, is proceed
ing rapidly, and good deal of small
railroad making is pointing every
where. The iron mills have all they
can do next summer. The stock
market is strong again. Three mil
lions of dollars have been secured tC
cut railroad through Cape Cod fol
ships. About $50, 1000 shares of stock
are sold daily in New York, and the
market is again strong, beyond all thu
cavil of politicians to bring it down.

InnuxurntiOm Of the Agricultural ana
Mechanical College.
S;arkeville Times.

On Wednesday, the 9Th inst, large
and interested crowd of citizens and
students assembled in the hall of the
main college building to witness the
formal opening of the institution.
The main feature of the exercises was
the admirable and appropriate adj
dress of Gen. stephen ID. Lee, IN
which the speaker, after portraylhg
the peculiar and pressing needs of the
agricultural and mechanical indus
tries of the State, proceeded to define
with analytical precision and accu-
racy the distinguishing features Of an
agricultural college established on the
proper basis and adjusted to the real
demands and purposes of industrial in
situations. There followed Il clear and
succinct presentation of the plan upon
which the A. & NJ. College of Missis-
sippi is to be organized and mann
tained. 1t is to be all that its name
implies-i. e., college conducted pri-
marily with view to the teaching and
fostering of agricultural and mechan-
ical arts, together with all the cognate,
pursuits that flow out of them and
that are allied to them. Special stress
will be laid upon those studies which
are necessary to a scientific education
and to competent understanding OF
agricultural industries and the me-
chanical arts. The great sustaining
industry of the State is to be lifted Il
the high plane of liberal and human
izing pursuits; and the supreme dig
nity of labor illustrated and establish
ed in the daily life of our people.
Gen. Lee closed with an earnest ap
peal to the students, the citizens ant
the public to lend their heartiest sym
patty and cooperation to the grea
work before them and it was man
ifest from the hearty demonstration
elected that the appeal was not mad
in vain.
Yesterday Thursday was fixed a
the day for the examination and elias
sification of students.
On Wednesday 40 students report
ed themselves at the college office
Every train has brought them since
and they will continue to arrive TO
some days to come; 80 we may stat
that the A. & NJ. College of the Stat
was inaugurated with an attendanc
something over 200 students.
The institution is started under Ell
couraging auspices, with u career
assured permanency and constar
growth and expansion before it.
We are assured that the colleg
Faculty, with their energetic an
: efficient President at their head, wi
address themselves to their work in
way that will satisfy the high expect;

Fowls have no teeth to grind or mas

and swallow it whole. Kernels of
grain are swallowed 10y them, and as
they are surrounded by Il tough pei
licIe or skin, which the juice of the
stomach Of the animals will not
readily dissolve or digest, they could
obtain no nOurishment at all from
grain if this tough pelicle was not
broken. Now, if we dissect the glz-
Zard of fowl of any kind, we find "a
lot Of small gravel stones, which are
usually the hardest kind of flint, gram
tie or sandstone. Surely here is apOck-
ct edition of farm grist mills.
Fowls swallow their food, broken or
not. and it enters the crop or first
stomach and remains in il until it has
become sOftened more or less, when a
small quantityat time, just as grain
runs into a grist mill, is forced into the
giZZaul among the gravel stones. This
giZzard is a strong, muscular stomach,
and plays night and day, when there

lows, contracting and expanding, thus
forcing the gravel stones into the
grain and breaking it into fragments,
aud triturating the whole mass, after
which it is i'm a suitable condition to
be quickly digested.
