Last year, however, and for several years In

reDorted as producing 90, 0Oc 600 bushels less In
1880 than In 1870, the aggregate crop was but a
trlne smaller, and Losses ever greater this
year may be partly bala- ced by gains else

The rapid advance In the price of wheat

Sow Small Grain +!

Every body knows that the
coming winter will be hard one
on stock. Forage will be scarce
and mules will be hnparY. The
failure Of the corn crop in. this
parish will put many q tarmer to
his wits end To devise some
nlan to save his stock until grass
puts up next spri:g. AL posi-
lie means should be used to have
wiuter graz!ng pastures that will
afford sustenance for the beasts
Of the field. The following ex-
tract from an editorial 10 the n =.
0. Democrat may ba OF interest
to Morehouse farmers. We
know nothing of the assertions
made by the writer, bot presume
that he does, end If De is telling
facts his suggestion and advice
should be- l.eed-d. Let every
precaniion be taken TO provide
forage for the stock OF the parish
during the winter mouths. Here
is " hat the Democrat says:
Every planter knows how to
plant oats and rye fos winter

ment, after the stoci has been
Withdrawn good crop Of grain

Barley is not so we'll known in

and as it does not bear trampling

advice that it hn "soiied;' l. g.,

and fed in the stable. L vii
Weld an immense amount OF

peatedly until March, when, if
allowed, it will head and yield b

The Drummer.

Modern mercantile energy IS
wonderful. Wholesale dealers,
since the war. have adopted "a
very ingenious plan to sell goods.
1t used to be that the wholesale
dealer reached hi. customers by
letter and the true virtues of his
commodities, but now he has an
entirely different system. The
city dealer gets hold Of garru-
lous, good-looking youngster,
fills his valise or trunk with a
liae of samples and tells him to
"git up aud git" This youth is
known as drummer, He is al
ways a cheeky individual, aud
wears good clothes. He travels
10 COOP style. aud will tell you d
bashsl of yarns, if you will "choke
him Off while. Drnmmers are
rather costly ornaments to their
employers, bat the public are
bound TO foot the bills, and what
matters it to the merchant !?
Railroads and livery men grow
rich. and the drummer has a
good time. The country is full
Of drummers at this time. They
are working like maggots in a
bone = elboWing and button
holing rustic merchants. They
are god-seuds to hotels and bar
rooms. We have never seen one
that doesn't love whisky and
cigars. Drnmmers are very
talkstiye creatures, aud they can
sweeten their words so cleverly
that it would seem impious to
doubt anything they say. They
are vel! versed in the financial
status of every country dealer,
and if she is good" it's a right
hard task to get rid of the pera-
patetic statesmen. We do not
know what effect the discharge
of all the drummers would have
upon the market; they cost a
big pile of money, but they are
usually a class of men fitted for
nothing else. Their employment
gives employment to other peo-
pie, and upon the whole they
may be an indispensable requis-
lite to successful commercia4 bus
mess. At all events, there is no
respectable wholesale merchant
now who hasn't "drummers" on
the road.

! The favorable reports from Mr.
Garfield inspire the people with
strong hopes OF his ultimate re-
coyery. His removal to the
ocean shores" acts we'll upon
his PROSTATE and suffering form,
and We feel more confident now
that his life will be spared than

dismissal OF three OF his physi-

may never be President - we
hope not. But We see no valid
reason, according to the Consti-

President, would not be legal.
The country is clamoring now.
for a chief-an active chief

President will call Mr.. Arthur to
the Presidency. Speaking OF
this question, Ex-Vice President
Colfax says:

by some imperative duty to go
abroad, would he not, as Gov.
Morton did un1er such circum-
