considered so perilous except at unusual
~ high rates. This company insures an
adult Of from twen,o-five to thirty years

The EDiscopal Festival.

The entertainment that came off on
Tuesday evening, under the auspices Of
the Ladies' Industrial Society of the Epis-
copal church;s was a most enjoyable oc-
casion. The lall was decorated with ex-
quisite taste, and the tableaux evinccd
skill of the first order on the part of the
mana gers. The gross receipts were $50,
which was fully up to the expectations of
the ladies, the whole affair having been
the work of a few days only. A rare treat
is still in reserve in the musical enter
tainment to come off in a few weeks, un-
der the same auspices.

Nv. Barnum, of Brooklyn, New York,

The Springfield Republican, whose edir
tor. Sam Bowles, Jr., recently visited this
country, in its issue Of Aug. 18th gives a
full and interesting account Of matters
pertaining to the reorganization of the
North Pacific; the development of the
country, etc. The October number Of the
Americaa Agricuzta>rist will contain full
account Of the great farms on the line Of
the North Pacific from the pen of Orange
Judd, its editor, who visited these great
wheat fields during harvest. Schuyler
Co!fax also visited these farms this week,
and will doubtless give to the world his
impressions. TIE TRIBUNE begs to refer
to any one of these gentlemen for facts III

is confident he has never made state
ment in relation to this country that they
will not endorse.

THE ST, LANDRY DEMOCRAT.
The Best Fowl.

In this age OF Improvement, the
poultry yard is receiving the con
sideration it's merits deserve. The
dunghill fowl is being sent to pot
and some Of the improved breeds
are taking the place.
Just here many people find it
difficult to decide which variety is
best. Each has it's respective
champions and each doubtless pos
sesses more or less Of real value.
Misled by exaggerated accounts OF
interested parties, money is invested
and total loss sometimes results
and, what is worse, disappointment
sours the owner and prevents him
from attempting anything further
in this line.
Many years experience, with
nearly every variety Of fowls that
has any pretention to value, en-
ables us to express an intelligent
opinion upon the subject, and this
we freely offer our readers. That
we shall not agree with many who
claim equal experience we expect;
that our conclusions will be contro-
yerted by many amateurs and fan
ciers, We know.
The small, sitting breeds,
like the Leghorns, Black Spanish,
Hamburgs, etc, undoubtedly lay
more eggs in year than the larger
varieties, bnt the weight, which is
the true standard OF value, is no
greater. They are high-hyers and
no fence will keep them within
bounds. They seem also to be af-
fected by q spirit of "cussedness :"
which leads them into forbidden
places when they would fare better
in their own proper domain.
The larger breeds, like the Brah-
mas, Cochins and Plymouth Rocks,
do not lay al extraordinary number
of eggs in a given time, but they
compensate in size for what they
lack in numbers. They can be kept
out of mischief by any respectable
fence and are good mothers, which
is not the case with the smaller
breeds. AS table fowls, they are
immensely superior, weighing three
or four times as much as the non
sitting varieties. They take on fat
very readily, and this item is the
great objection to them. This tend
ency increases with age, and it is
not, therefore, desirable to keep
these fowls after completing their
second year.
The Plymouth Rock fowl is un-
doubtedly the best Of the large va
rieties. The young are as hardy as
the dunghill, mature early and at
tain large size. AS layers, the
Rocks are equal to the Leghorn
and they do not fatten so readily as
the Brahma and Cochin. They make
most excellent mothers-an item of
great Importance. They are not a
fancy bird in appearance, but, as in
many other things in this world,
good looks do not always count.
Having no pecunlary interest in
the matter whatever, for the reasons
adduced, we unhesitatingly recon-
mend the Plymouth Rock variety
of fowls as superior to any now in
existence.

RESOURCES OF THE SOUTH
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, Of Boston,
than whom no man is more able to
express an opinion says that we do
not begin as yet to appreciate the
magnitude of the wealth to be
reaped from cotton culture in this
country. He says the present crop
of cotton will DO % per cent larger
than that ever raised by slaves
that is, will exceed 100000 bales.
If it be of that amount, it will pro-
duce 5000, 900 tons Of cotton seed,
besides seed for planting, which
will yield 80, 1000, 900 gallons of oil,
100000 tons Of oil cake and / 800
600 tons of hulls suitable for max
ing paper. Each ton of oil seed
meal will keep five sheep six months.
Thus the cotton seed crop will sup
port millions of sheep and return
to the land the fertilizer needed to
grow more cotton. He further says
that the present cotton acreage of
the South covers less than 2 per
cent of the cotton growing area in
the United States.
