November usually closes the orchard
and garden work for the year, and we
are now to judge of its successes and
failures. The thoughtful farmer can
now look back and from the past draw
lessons that will be guide and an inspi-
ration for the future. No failure has
come without cause, and no one should
suffer two failures from identical sources.
1t may have been due to an imperfect
preparation of the soil, lack of manure
or the neglect of the growing crop and
triumph OF weeds. Bad drainage or Il
lack of water may have caused poor
crop, and many other reasons that
could be averted if the farmer would
give his land and crops their dueamount
of study.

EhOrOughbrcd stock.

| Il 1t is matter of congratulation that
Increasing attention is being given to the
raising of fine stock in Mississippi. At
the Meridian Fair there is an extensive
auction sale of th0roughbreds, most of
which were raised by Mississippians
With favorable climate, mild and mex
pensible winters, luxuriant grasses, and
the finest hay, gathered at IL triiing cost,
NE ought to rival the world in the pro-
duction of cattle. The Jerseys, among
the choicest butter producers, are well
adapted to our climate. They are very
Reality, long-lived, and are easily kept.
'Southdown and Merino sheep are also
sbeng cultivated with gratifying success.
Some farmers are reaping a nice profit
in raising horses and mules. These are
noted to be commended. We are not
stlependent on cotton, so long the tyran-
illous king that has crushed out other in
sllstries. And when u large number OF
Dnr intelligent farmers become thorough
bred stock-raisers we will have increas-
ed prosperity and more valuable lands.
A good pasture-feld that sustains few
|rhoice cows may be more valuable than
the same number OF acres planted i'll cot

Mississippi as stock-producing State

The James robbers, who have so long
detied the law, have it is said, left Ken
lucky, where they have been rusticating
for some months. While there, one of
their lady friends informed correspon-
dent of the Courier Journal that they
went into the best society, just as they
do in Missouri -associating with people
who are too high-toned to "give them
away" but not too high-toned to violate
every law, human and divine, by har-
boring murderers and robbers who have
no claims for moments consideration
on the part of decent law-abiding people.
A man who had in former years enjoyed
the confidence of the James brothers,
told this same correspondent that good
ly part of their earnings is annually paid
to members OF the police force of st.
Louis and Kansas City and ather places;
that they have spies at the headquarters
of all the detective agencies, and no
movement for their capture is unknown
to them and that a part of their pro-
gramme is to raise a false alarm in one
State while preparing for raid in an
other. Thus murder and robbery are
organized on a paying and safe basis.--

Death of Frank LiddeII.

1t is always sad duty to us to chron-
icle the death Of friend or true man,
but to chronicle the death ofone so high
ly esteemed and dearly beloved for his
many noble virtues and chivalrous traits
of character, such as young Frank Lid
dell possessed, 'makes us sorrowful in
deed"
Our young friend died at the residence
of his mother, on last Sunday morning.
after severe illness of five or six days.
He was the youngest son of the late DIR.
W. w. Liddell, being almost his counter
part in looks and.appearances, and pos
sessing in an eminent degree that noble
ness of soul and generosity Of character,
which so beautifully adorned the life of
his much lamented father. Frank was
intelligent above his fellows' -beng
possessed Of splendid mind, he had
stored and cultured it with knowledge
varied and extensive, forone his years,
and which, no doubt, in after years,
would have placed him in the front
rank with his fellow men.-Carrollton
Conservative.

A United States Boundary Line.

The northern boundary of this country is
marked by stone cairns, iron pillars wood pill
lars, earth mounds and timber posts A stone
cairn is q feet by s feet, an earth mound 7 feet
by IA feet, an iron pillar 8 feet high, inches
square at the bottom and inches at the top,
timber posts feet high and inches square.
There are 3S2 of these marks between the Lake
of the Woods and the base of the Rocky Noun
tains. That portion of the boundary which
lies east and west of the Red River valley is
marked by cast-iron pillars at even-mile inter-
walls. The British place one every two miles
and the United States one between each Brit
ish post. Our pillars or markers were made at
Detroit Mich. They are hollow iron castings,
three-eighths of an inch in thickness, in the
form of truhcated pyramid, s feet high, 8
inches square at the bottom and inches at the
top, as before stated. They have at the top a
solid pyramidal cap, and at the bottom an oc-
tagonal flange one inch in thickness. Upon
the opposite faces are Cast in letters two inches
high the inscriptions, "CoEvention of London
and October 90, 1878" The inscriptions be-
gin about four feet six inches above the base,
and read upwards. The interiors of the ho-
low posts are filled with Swell-seasoned cedar
posts, sawed to fit, and securely spiked through
spike holes cast in the pillars for the purpose.
The average weight of each pillar when COM
pletea is So pounds. The pillars are all set
four feet in the ground with their inscription
faces to the north and south, and the earth is
well settled and stamped about them. For the
wooden posts well seasoned logs are selected,
and the portion above the ground painted rec,
to prevent swelling and shrinking. These posts
do very well, but the Indians cut them down
for fuel, and nothing but iron will last very
long. Where the line crosses lakes, monu-
ments of stones have been built, the bases be-
ing in some places Is feet under water, and the
tops projecting eight feet above the lakes sur
lace at high water mark. In forests the line
Is marked by telling the timber rod wide and
clearing away the underbrush. The work of
cutting through the timbered swamps was very
great, but it has been well done and the boun-
Diary distinctly marked by the commissioners
the whole distance from Michigan to Alaska.

The case of Mrs. Edward Myers, of Rondout, New
York, furnishes apt illustration of woman's power
of endurance. This lady had been treated for
months in the usual way for Erysipelas of the hand
without benefit Not until her hand had Ebecome
of purified flesh, did she turn to Dr. Kenne
dy, proprietor of the "Favorite Remedy for help
He at once informed her that it was impossible
to save the hand-it must be amputated. She re-
ceved this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to
take ether, STIMULATING merely to hold her husbands
hand during the operation and underwent the pain
fui process without moving muscle or uttering
groan. DR.. Kennedy then gave tFayorite Remedy
freely to cleanse the blood and prevent the return
of the disease. and Mrs. Myers now lives and re-
joices in her great deliverance.

household friend in all cases of Female Weakness
