is one of the very few tonic
medicines that are not COM
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source of intemper-
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.

take the place of all liquor,

PROCLAMATION by the Gocernor.
Executive Department,
State Of Louisiana.

Executive Department, }
State OF Louisiana,
New Orleans. January Ii, 1892 \
WHEREAS, under the provisions of
sect on lO of Act No. 33, session of 1879
ana section of Act No. IS session of
1850, the police juries of the several par
lshes Ut this State are invested with
management aud control Of all comp!et-
ed public ievees of this State and other
public works which may require public
care for protection and preservation :;
Whereas. the season of probable
high water is at hand and
Whereas, without such care and pro
lection of the public 1evees by the parO
chial authorities, aided by the active
cooperation OF all good citizens, there
can be no security from disastrous inun-
dation in case of floods
Now, therefore, l. SAMUEL D. Nc
Emery, Governor of Louisiana, have
thought proper to issue this, my procla
nation, calling the attention of the To-
Cal authorities in the parishes where
public levees exist. to the necessity of
providing such protection and preserva
tion without d lay.
And to this end urge said paro-
chlal authorities to Immediately close
al! unlisensed rice-fuMes, roadways or
other dangerous cuts in the levees to
repair and restore all needed revctment
and fascining of levees to stop all cray
hsl holes and other leaks in The levees,
and to repair all damages caused by the
roofing Of hogs, the washing of water
and the abrasion of drift logs.
And l furthermore appeal to all
good cl liens to exercise constant vigi-
lance for the security of levees in their
neighborhood, and to aid parochial au-
thorities in the discharge of their duties
relative to the care and protection Of the
public levees. of The State.
Witness my signature and the seal
of the State Of Louisiana the day and
year above written.

lac Mexican and Indian metnods Oh
harvesting their grain are very primi-
tive, similar, indeed, to those of East
ern countries in Bible times. Wheat
is cut by hand with sickle, and taken,
unbound, in carts to the threshing floor.
This consists of round plat of level
Ground, in an elevated place, fifty, 100
or 200 feet in diameter, as the farm is a
large or small one, the surface Of which
is pounded or trodden as hard as ce-
ment floor. Around the edges OF this,
tall poles are set in the ground five or
six feet apart, forming circle. The
unthreshed grain is piled mp loosely In
the center, and, when everything is
ready, a thin layer IL raked down be-
tween the central pile of grain and the
circle of poles, and then flock of goats
or sheep, or sometimes of burros or po-
nies, is driven around over the grain
until it has ull been beaten out Of the
heads by their feet. The straw is then
thrown outside of the circle of poles, and
the wheat pushed up toward the center.
Another lot of the unthreshed grain Is
then raked down, and the operation re-
peated until the wheat is threshed. /
was forcibiy reminded of tine scripturai
Injunction which forbade the Hebrews
to muzzle the OK that trod out the grain.
The winnowing is also done in the Bib
lical way. After the wheat has been
separated from the straw, it is gathered
mp into heap, and when brisk breeze
arises it is thrown into the air in the
teeth of the wind, which blows away the
chaff while the wheat falls by itself on
the clean floor. At II distance the flying
chnff looks like steam escaping by sue
cesNive pufis from tie exhaust-pipe of an
engine.
