The American Camel Herds.

II seems that the attempt to natur alizs
camels in Texas and New Mexico was
not, after all, an utter failure. The
camels used for carrying freight across
the California desert did not, for some
reason, prove profitable, and they were
turned loose ON .he Gila and Salt River
bottoms. There they lived and bred, un-
til now, 1t is said, they roam the lower
dila plains in large numbers, giving
ground for the belief that they twill con-
tinue to increase in numbers, until .
drove Of wild camels will become ~
common on the Western plains of Ari-
zoua as buffalo now are on the plains
east of the Rocky MouRtains."

all around, has an air Of business about
him, and visions of prospective fees

LOUISIANA is the best cotton
State in the Union in which to raise
cotton. So says the census. Ac
cording to this, the average amount
raised to the acre in Missouri
where only few thousand bales are
made--is sixteenths of q bale. Lou
isiana and Arkansas come next,
with exactly the same product, fifty
eight one hundredths of bale to
tie acre, while in Florida it takes
five acres TO make a single bale.
