Louisiana is increasing her facilities. I'm
like the other Southern States, she builds
only large mills. The mills in New Orleans
have proven so successful and profitable that
others are being built in the Crescent City.
Lately 5000, 900 has been subscribed and
the work begun on a new mill in the city,
to contain 10000 spindles and 800 looms.
Louisiana tried the experiment of negro
labor in cotton mills. The State built mill
at Baton Rouge to employ convict labor,
and made a signal failure, so far as the
colored labor was concerned, but she found
ready hands to take the mill and operate it
with white labor. No colored labor is en-
ployed in cotton mills that [ know of at ALL
Mississippi is moving extensively in de
veloping her manufacturing interests The
history of her Wesson Cotton Mills has
been profitable to her. Starting with one
mill and $500, 900 capital only few years
since, her goods took premium at the Cen
tennial Exhibition. Another mill was built
and the stock doubled Fortune still smiled
upon her and prosperity crowned the word.
About 30 per cent. was made, and then an
other mill was built and the stock increased
to about 81 900, 900 The president of the
company last alluded to, says it is the best
paying Investment of his life. In May,
1878, the sound of the steam whistle and
the clash of the shuttle announced to the
people of Natchez that cotton factory was
| in operation there, and the people gathered
around to see it start, One year proved il
to be paying enterprise, and at once the
| foundation stone of the second mill fol
Natchez was laid, and it is now about com
pleted. So successful are some of the
principal mills that they are lighted with
electricity and run night set of hands
This speaks well for Southern enterprise
Some of the larger mills use steam power
Many of the mills have more orders thai
they can fill The new mill building al
| Corinth has been bought by a new com
pany, and will soon commence business.

Cotton Seed Meal.

= In view of the fact that the neal from
cotton seed is of more value for stock
than any other kind of feed, we think
it highly important that that the whole
of this product should be utilized. In
the South large portions of this meal is
used as a fertilizer for cotton, corn and
potatoes, and by many farmers at the
North, who consider it the cheapest fer
tilizer to purchase. Cotton seed meal
contains fifteen per cent. of fat, and over
thirty per cent. of flesh producing pro-
dueing products. This makes it exceed
ingly valuable as feed in connection
with ensilage, for fodder corn is deficient
in oil and heterogeneous products. How
ever high an estimate we may place upon
products of the silo, it is useless to flat
ter ourselves that it is a perfect food.
Cotton seed is an excellent aceompani-
mentsto ensilage. Formerly we advised
considerable quantities of bran and shorts
for feeding, but under present improved
systems of preparing flour the bran con-
tains less elements Of value than former
ly. We expect another season to find
cotton seed meal in much greater de-
mand than ever before. American Gull

FARMERS BOOK OF GRASSES AND oTHET
FORAGE PLANTs-BY DIR. D. L. PHAREs
seRGHAM HALAPENsE GRASS
This has been called Cuba grass
Guinea grass, Egyptian grass, Means
grass. Alabama Guinea grass.
1t seems pretty well agreed nov
however, to call this johnson gress anc
leave the name Guinea grass for the
Panieum jumentorum to which II
properly belongs. (See PIP. 93-1OO.)
1t is true that Mr.. Towards pamphlet,
as well as in many periodicals and books
and in letters and common usage this
grass has been far more generally called
Guinea grass than the true grass itself,
thus causing vast confusion. 1t Il
therefore assuredly time to call each by
its right name. johnson grass is peren-
NAL and has cane-like roots or more
properly underground stems from the
size of a goose quill to that of the little
finger. These roots are tender, and
hogs are fond of and thrive on them in
winter. The roots literally fill the
ground near the surface and every joint
is capable of developing a bud. Hence
the grass is very readily propagated
from root cuttings. 1t is also propaga-
ted from the seed, but not always so
certainly for in some localities many
faulty seeds are produced, and in other
places no seed are matured. Before
sowing the seed, therefore, they should
be tested, as should all grass seeds,
indeed, in order to know what portion
will terminate, and thus what quantity
per acre to SOW. One bushel of good
sample of this seed is sufficient for one
acre of land.
The leaf, stalk and panacle Of this
grass resemble those Of other sorghums.
1t grows ON any land where corn will
grow; and like the latter, the better the
land the heavier the crop. On rich
land the culms attain a size of over half
an inch in diameter and height of
seven feet. It should be cut while
tender; and then all live stock are fond
of it; for a few weeks are sufficient to
render it so coarse and hard that ami
mails refuse it, or eat sparing1y.
This plant is much more nutritious
than the true Guinea grass, as will be
seen by comparing the analyses of the
two made by Mr.. Collier.

HOUSE AND FARM.

LIBERTY CAKE-One cup butter, two
cups sugar, one cup milk, one and one
half pint Of -four, three eggs, salt and
spices, and three teaspOonfuls yeast pow
der.
CLEANING KNIVES Vinegar and
fruit stains upon knives can be taken off
by rubbing the blades with raw potato
and then polishing on the knife-board
in the usual manner
TEA BIsCUT.-One pint of sour milk
or buttermilk, one teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in very little hot water, two
teaspo0nfuls melted butter, -four enough
to make soft dough, bnt stiff enough
to handle; mix, roll, and cut out rapid
ly, with as little handling as possible;
bake in quick oven.
A LONGER TIME.-Poor soils yield
their best results in seasons of slow but
continued growth, the crop having a
longer time to collect the scanty supply
of food which the soil contains In hot
seasons, with an early harvest, only soils
well supplied with food can produce full
crops.
PUFF PASTE WITH MnK.-Mix with
a spoon three-fourths of pound of but
ter with one pound of -four; then add
milk enough to moisten the whole so as
roll easily. Do not mould it with the
hands at all, or as little as possible, and
the crust will be found much nicer made
this way than by the old methods requir-
ing more labor.
REMEDY FOR MMDEw.-Dr. James
Blake says he has found solution of
bluestone, a tablespoonful to a bucket of
water, makes wash that will destroy
mildew upon rosebushes and other plants !
without injuring them in the slightest. |
He has used the bluestOne wash to de-
Stroy the smut fungus on wheat with |
abundant success. 1t was this fact that
led him to use the substance for his rose
bushes, and the result has been almost
entirely free from mildew and have
blossomed profusely, while before trying
this remedy hardly bud arrived at per-
fiction,
CHLORIDE DE LIME-Le C,tltiuatear, a !
French journal, says if chloride of lime
be spread on the soil or near plants, in
sects and vermin will not be found near
them, and adds by its means plants
will easily be protected from insect
plaques by simply brushing over their
stsms with solution of it. 1t has |
often been noticed that a patch of land
which has been treated in this way re-
mains religiously respected by grubs,
while the unprotected beds around are
literally devastated. Fruit trees may
be garded from the attacks of grubs by
attaching to their trunk pieces of tow
smeared with mixture of hogs lard,
and ants and grubs already in possession
will rapidly vacate their positiyn. But
terfies, again, will avoid all plants W hose
leaves have been sprinkled over with
lime water"

COOKED FooD FOR HoGs.-The Scien-
tifc American thirty-fve years ago said
Boil, say, fifty gallons of water; put
into tub, and when the water gets
still, pour in, as gently as possible,
twenty pounds Underground meal ;
cover well with a blanket and let ii
stand over night, and you have seventy
pounds of good mush, which will feed
SIX hogs one day about as much as they
ought to eat. You will save one-third
in grain and one-fourth in time to fatten.
