ST. TAMMANY PARISH.
IT'S LOCATION - HEALTH :
PRODUCTS-MANUFAC-
TURING AND AGRI-
CULTURAL AD-
YANTAGES
ETC.

st. Tammany parish is located
TWENTY-FIVE miles north of New Or
leans. CoringtoE, the county site,
is ten miles further north, il tie
interior, and is delightfully."- located
on the Bocue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with q small amount of capital and
a fair supply of industry and perse-
vsrance. cannot possibly do better
than locate in onr parish. The eli
mate is as fine rs any in the world.
The winters are generally mild. and
snow rarely falls. Spring OPENS
early in February. with blossoms
on the peach and ounce trees, and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat of summer is moderate,
and the unfailing breezes of the
evening refresh man and beast after
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats. corn. rice. peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges, pears, peach. plums,
ounces. figs and pecans thrive we'll.
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tammany
the seock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying from 81 to IS per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers
WATER POWER.
There is an abundance, of water
power, already improved, inviting
the attention of manufacturers. We
have no doubt a small factory, such
as already abound in Alabama and
Georgia, for the purpose of con-
verting our cotton crop into yarn,
Wouiu piOhC pay luS luNSStueUt.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance. as we'll as
claws suitable for pottery ware of
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free from sand or grit. Per-
SONS having practical knowledge
of such business would soon realize
IA fortune in manufacturing and
shipping snch wares to the New
Orleans market.
MANUFACTURE OF GLASS.
Sand suitable for the manufacture
of glass is also abundant all along
the banks of the Bogue Falia, above
the town of Covington. It has been
practically tested by Pi;tsburg
and found to con-
tain all the necessary properties to
produce the finest glassware.
CONVICTION,
the county site, contains about
eight hundred inhabitants, and is
the best business point in the par
ish, commanding much of the trade
of both st. Tammany and Washing
ton parishes. The mail from New
Orleans arrives three times O week,
per steamer New Camelia, and
there is some talk Of building
telegraph line.
At present there is no mill or
mandatory of any kind in Coving-
ton. Building sites for marufac-
turing purposes can be had on the
most favorable terms, and every
facility will be offered for immi-
grants to this parish.
To oil honest and Industrious i'm.
migrants who may wish to settle in
st. Tammany, a hearty welcome il
extended and protection guaranteed
in their respective occupations.

Psychologists are agreed that the
cause OF death in ANNALS is bearing
their flowers and seed in such profus-

tree is subject to the same law. Trees
after bearing few heavy crops of

tivator can check that overbearing
in different ways. He may pick
fruit and flowers off, or he may lift
the tree and replant it, which would,

to hundreds OF years, for he will be
disappointed. l may say that l don't

The Palmetto.

From the Atachata Adcocate.
This is not an altogether unpromis'
ing article to write about. Palmetto
will one day cease to be plague.
Machinery will transform it into one
of the valuable sources OF wealth.
A year ago factory was established
near Fernandina to reduce the fibre
into pulp for the manufacture OF pa
per. This paragraph, peradventure'
is written on manufactured Florida
palmetto. And recently factory
was set up in Jacksonville to make Of
the leaves useful brushes, door mats
and mattress material. The per Gen.
tage of tannin yielded from the root
is large, and may be used in home
tanneries or sent to Northern or
Western markets. But if not in i'm
mediate demand tor such purposes,

can be made to give back the great
amount of plant food it has with>
drawn from the surrounding soil.
But Florida is, beyond a doubt,
the home for paper mills. Our in.
exhaustible fbrous plants invite
them. The adaptability OF the soil
to the multiplication OF those not in
digenous but wanted for use in pa
per, and the gleanings Of our cotton
fields, constitute in themselves
arguments which are bound to win
acceptance among capitalists who
wish to invest in the manufacture OF
paper. Hence, it is not at all i'm.
probable that the palmetto land, now
held in detestation, should outgrow
the maledictions of the owner.

Orange Wine.

The California Herald comments
on the subject as follows:
During his recent visit to the East
Judge J. S. Thompson, of this city,
took occasion to investigate the or
ange question from a standpoint new
to our people. He was invited to
partake of orange wine, which he
found to be highly delicious, and
which sold in New York for the ex>
travagant sum of five dollars a bot
tie. Should we ever reach a stage in
which the orange market should
threaten to be glutted, the manufac>
ture of orange wine would at once at
ford the remedy. The Judge has
entered into minute calculations in
tie matter, and has found that a
bushel OF oranges, even of an inferior
grade, will yield two gallons Of
orange wine, which will readily
command two dollars a gallon in the
crude state. This is but one of the
ways in which very prodigal yield
of oranges in this county can be
utilized. The day will undoubtedly
come when oar people will think it
worth their while to prepare the or
ange in a variety OF shapes fol mar
ket which will take them all.

Important Discovery.

From an Exchange.
The recent discovery that cotton
seed oil is a perfect and satisfactory
substitute for lard bids fair to create
quite revolution in household econ>
omy. Col. o. o. Nelson, Of Hunts
vile, Ala, said he has repeatedly
used the oil at his house, and finds it
equal to the best article of lard.
Last week hotel keeper at Mem
phis published a statement to the
same effect. 1t has been tried by sew
eral citizens of Tuscumbia, Ala, who
say they can discover no difference
between the oil and the lard. AS
the refined oil is only about one-half
the cost OF lard, there is bound to be
a great tumble in the price OF the
latter before long.

Feeding Guinea Chicks.

Fanny Fields. in Prairie Farmer.
A correspondent wants to know
how to raise Guinea chicks. Well
1 don't know anything. about raising
Guinea chicks, and l don't want to
know either; but still am anxious
to oblige every poultry raiser SO l
confscate the following from the
american Poultry Yard:
Hard boiled eggs chopped fine,
small worms, maggots, bread crumbs
chopped meat or suet, whatever, in
short, is most nutritious appropri-
ate food for Guinea chicks This
need not be offered to them in large
quantities at a time, but they should
be fed often. Feeding four or five
times a day is not nearly often
enough; they should be ted every
half hour during daylight. The
growth OF the Guinea chicks is very
rapid, and requires inceSsant supplies;
a check once received can never be
recovered. They do not NOPE and
pine tor a day or two like turkeys
but give no notice of their taintness
from lack OF food until they are past
all cure; in half an hour after being
in apparent health they fall over,
give kick or two aud die, victims
TO starvation.
A dry sunny corner in the garden
will be the best place to coop them
with their bantam mother. AS they
increase In size they will do no harm,
but a great deal OF good, by devour'
ing worms, grubs, caterpillars, and
all sorts of insects. When they are
about the size of quails, or perhaps a
little larger, they may be allowed to
rance with their mother hen in the
orchard and fields, and no longer per.
mitted to enter the garden. They
must still, however, receive bounti
full supply of food; they are rot to bt
considered safe until the horn or
their head is fairly grown. Indian
meal, is great treat, cooked pota
toes, boiled rice anything that is eat
able may be thrown to them. TIT
tanner they can be made the les'

At certain period they will get

Birds thus reared on the spot where

1t is no use TO shut up Guinea

is to keep them in high condition
during the winter by liberal hand
feeding.

The Cotton Worms Doom.
From the Cotton.

From the Cotton.
EntomologistS have long claimed
that, following the precedent of sim
liar pests, the cotton worm would
ultimately have parasite, and that
its propagation would in consequence
receive a.material check. According
to the Albany ga. Meas and Ad0er-
tiSer, such parasite has now been
found. Mr.. w. T. Hatchet, of Mont
gomery, Alabama, who has been
employed for number of years to
examine and report upon the con.
dltion of the cotton crop in the South
elm States, and who has just been on
an extended tour through Texas,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama,
claims to have discovered this season
new species OF fly which is natural
and deadly enemy to the cotton cat
erpillar. lie describes this fly as re-
sembling the wasp somewhat in app
pearance, and says that they destroy
every caterpillar egg that they can
find. They leave little black speck
upon the eggs, and the latter are
evidently punctured or stung by
them. These punctures seem to eff
tectually kill the eggs, and thus the
propagation of the caterpillar is
greatly interfered with.
I Mr.. Ratchet was in Albany last
week, and visited several cotton
plantations in the country. Among
the places visited was Col. Lockett
Rails place, where Mr.. Ratchet found
quite number Of the identical file:
above described. AS soon as this

followed and thousands of caterpillar
eggs were found on the place punct
