day has long and interesting edi-
torial upon the Monroe, Bastrop
and Pine Bluff Railroad. The Bull
letln thinks that Ouachita will CO.
operate With Morehouse in raising
the means for the building of the
long talked-of road, and that all
that is necessary now is to keep the
ball rolling. We do earnestly
hope that the people Of this parish
will take an active interest in the
meeting appointed at this place on
the 9TH Of April. Much depends
upon the manifestations of the peo-
pie on that day. The delegates
from the adjoining counties and
parishes will be impressed with
our earnestness in this enterprise in
proportion to the zeal and interest
our people display in that conven-
ton. Hence the Importance of a
rousing and an enthusiastic attend
ance. Let every man in the parish
who feels an interest in Our coun-
try, be on hand, and capitalists will
hear Of our meeting and come to
our assistance by rail.

A Problem in PlOughing.

Cor. Of the Tribune.
A correspondent asks "why a
plough runs deeper when going down
hill and shallower uphill than on n
level? 7" and says "The usual answer
is in going up hill the team is above
the plough lifting up the end of the
beam, and below il when going down
hill, thus pulling down; but this
does not seem to be a satisfactory ex-
planation, for the line of draft of the
traces with the surface of the soil is
at the same, or nearly the same, angle
in all cases. BY the operation of the
law of gIavitation we can account
for 1t TO some extent, by throwing
the line of the centre of gravity be.
hind the beam pin going up, or be.
fore 1t going down hill. But is this
sufficient TO account for the result.
and if not what Is the reason 7" 1
offer what / believe to be the true
reason. Every ploughman knows
that 1t he bears down on the handles
of the plough 1t tends TO raise the
plough point, makes the plough run
shallow or throws 1t out of the
ground but If he lifts the handle.
rides the beam or whifiietrees. or
puts weight on the latter, il tends
TO make the plough run deeper.
These facts are keys TO the solution
OF the question.
a plough is balanced by q bolt or
otherwise in the beam so as 10 run
correctly on level land. When this
rod Is strained out of its proper pos.
ition or bent, the draft tends TO the
heel or toe of the plough. 1t is then
said not to hang right nor run we'll.
suppose a plough Is hung exactly
right or balanced for ploughing level
land. When going up hill an un-
common pressure of soil is brought
against the rear end Of the mould
board, having the same influence as
bearing on the handles, but with less
length of leverage. The effect Is the
plough Is thrown out of proper bal.
ance, the constant tendency Is to lift
the plough point, make the plough
run shallow, or throw IL out of the
ground. But in going down hill the
plough Is out of balance in the oppo-
site way. The soil falls from The
mould.board easily, not pressing
against the rear OF it with force, and
THIS want of balance tends TO throw
the point of the plough deeper into
Tue soil. To balance this tendency

Breeding Good Horses.

Prom the Philadelphia Record.
The demand for good-sized, we'll
formed carriage and business horses
is increasing, not only for use In the
United States but for shipment TO
Europe. And it is hard work to buy
a nice, toppy coach team, even though
one is willing to pay from $500 TO
81, 200. Think moment, and see
whether you know three well-mated
or well-matched teams. Hardly a
team can be found but one or the
other has either a blemish or some
fault that has to be explained away
or apologized for, even when you are
only riding behind them and have no
other interest than for the time being.
If our farmers would systematically
and judiciously breed their farm
mares, in very fewyears this would
be changed. In every Reighborhood
where stallion had made over the
second season-having in many cases
bred each year TO the same mares
there would be many closely-matched
pairs in all the requirements OF 3
matched team in color, marks, tenn
per, gait and size. 1t is mistake
each year to breed to q new sire.
What is needed is TO select a good
horse and breed TO him successive
seasons. Never yet has the demand
for matched coach teams been sup-
piled, and it probably never will be.
There is neither trouble nor expense
OF any moment in raising one or two
colts each year on farm, and no one
thing that farmer can do will make
the boys love home and its surround
ings more than a colt from the old
mare on which they learned to ride.
1t is q mistake TO suppose that the
mares will not do their work as well.
They will do it just as well, and the
colts will be far better from having
working mothers, just as boys are.
Then, too, the old-fashioned way of
letting the colt follow the mare is the
right way. There is no better place
TO give it action than in following
the plough or running ahead of the
harrow. As an adjunct TO the farm,
besides the diversion, colt-raising, as
suggested here, can be made valua-
BILE, and the township that first gives
attention to it will profit most by it.
