A strong and durable article of belt
ing is made at Oakland, California,
out of the entrails Of sheep.
The entrails, which will average
about 55 feet in length, are first
thoroughly cleaned and then placed in
vats of brine, where they remain some
days, When thus prepared they are
not much thicker than piece of
common cotton twine, and will sustain
weight of about ten pounds, The
next stage in process of manufacture
is to wind the prepared material on
bobbins, after which the process is
the same as in making common rope
This method is used to produce
round belt but where a wide fiat belt
is to be made loom is employed, and
the fine strands are woven together,
as in ribbon manufacture. The fiat
belts are made of any size, and the
round of sizes varies from one-sixteeuth
up to one and half inch in diameter.
The round belts are made either in
the form of a smooth cord, or as ropes
with from three to five large strands,
The three-quarter inch rope is said to
stand strain of seven tons, and is
guaranteed to last ten years.

Kansas Aftor harvest.


Kansas Farmer,
The immense wheat and oat crops
of Kansas are safely harvested and
stacked, Threshing has begun in
every part of the state, and the yields
are surprising. Our reports are better
than those written in the first flashes
of hope before the sickle started.
Then it was prophecy only ; but now
it is the statement of known facts.
The yield is better far than was ex-
pected. We have reports of large
fields of wheat averaging all the way
from 23 to 38 bushels per acre. Oats
run up to 90 and 100, The average
will not fall below sixty, probably,
The state has certainly produced over
thirty million bushels of wheat.
Corn prospect is very encouraging.
In southern Kansas it is caring in
many places, and is in tassel nearly
all over the state. Flax is a good
crop and safe. Potatoes arc doing
well. Everything indicates pros
porous year.

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.
There is always a demand for supe-
rior animals of every kind.

There is always demand for supe-
rior animals of every kind.
Farmers should look well to the
question of salt for stock. Much care
lessness is praetieed IN this regard.
A gentleman who has travelled ex-
tensively through the Western States
says that the best corn is in Indiana.
If fat turnips are raised among
corn they will afford au excellent aIti-
Gle to eat in connection with the dry
corn fodder.
1t is said that ID, 100000 bushels of
sweet potatoes will be raised in Geor-
gia this season, aud how to dispose of
the crop is a problem.
The "Dalasne Merino" is the name
of new and distinct type of wooden
sheep. 1t is cross between the Black
top and American Merino.
Patience and good treatment are the
only means by which both horses and
cattle can be trained to satisfactorily
do the work allotted to them.
Cuba is chiefly supplied with beef
cattle raised in southern Florida. The
quality of the meat is poor, but the
animals are raised at a very small cost.
To grow strawberries in perfection
it is necessary to have the soil where
the vines are planted well supplied
with water, whether there is rain or
not.
Farmers would do well at this season
of the year to carefully look over she
live stock they have and determine
what animals and fowls are profitable
to keep over another winter.
Griffin, Georgia, has the largest
peach orchard in the South, contain
ing $4,000 trees and covering most of
600 acres. On the same farm are
1000 grated apple trees and 5000 pear
trees.
An acre of irrigated land will keep
a family well supplied with fine fruits
and vegetables during the usual season
of drought and afford many articles
that can be sold in the market to ex-
eelleDt advantage.
An eminent horseman gives it as his
experience, after twenty years of trial,
that a tired horse can be best refreshed
aud strengthened by giving him a
quart of oatmeal stirred in a pail of
water. This fits its stomach for strong
eF food, slakes its thirst and is infinite
ly better than pure water.
A good remedy for all the ordinary
ailings of the peach tree is potash. An
Eastern chemist found the tissues of
peach trees suffering from the "yeI-
lows" gorged with starch, and sug-
gested that an application of an excess
of potash would prove remedy. He
gave an instance where it seemed to |
prove a remedy, although he WAS not |
positive that the ailment was "yel- |
lows"
In a communication to the National
Wool Manufacturers Association, Mr. |
Jos. p. Deyine, of San Antonio, Texas,
states that although be is breeding cat
tie and horses, and has 34O0 Merino |
ewes, be has been tempted to dispose
of all his live stock interest beyond |
the care and breeding of Angora goats.
He now owns 200 head of these beau
tiful animals, which he finds profitable.
They will thrive where no other kind
of stock can exist, are subject to no
will defend themselves against
the raids of dogs and wolves, and will
always find their way home.

The Grangers.

Capltolian-Advocate.
We had the pleasure Of meeting, on
yesterday, that well known worthy
planter OF the eastern section of this
parish, Daniel Morgan, Esq, with
whom we had a long chat regarding
the farming interests Of cur fertile and
attractive highlands. Mr.. Morgan,
who is a practical man, heartily en-
dorses the suggestions Of the Capito-
lian-Adyocate, concerning the forma-
tion of stock companies for the pur-
chase of idle lands with view of
selling them on easy terms to indus
trious settlers. He recognizes az we
do that our people will never give
their lands away, but that it's very
feasible to have areas Of land desie-
mated on maps, which lands could Be
offered for sale, at a fair and fixed
valuation, and which, in annual pay
ments bearing reasonable interest
would be an indueement to the immi-
grant, while the stockholders would
reap therefrom remunerative income.
Mr.. Morgan is SO pleased with this
proposition that he intends to ask
thereon the views of Mr.. H. Eschban.
Lecturer of the National Grange, who
is expected here, to deliver lecture,
on or about the 25th inst, ON which
occasion a large attendance Of our
country friends is expected. The
Changers are preparing for reorgan-
ization Of their order soon, by the
election of State Directory, on a
basis that will push forward the cause
of husbandry to the realization of
their laudable mission.

In theory, law and justice mean the
same thing, but in fact they are often
very dissinilar. Every now aud then
there is an illustration of the wide diff
ference, as was the case yesterday
when a prosecuting witness-a woman
who could not give bail for her APP
pearance in the police court on Satur-
day next was sent to the county jail,
where she will remain for week. She
has committed no crime, but on the
contrary is supposed to be the unfor-
tunate victim of an assault. Having
no money or other property and being
unable to procure bail, she goes to Jail,
No matter who she'is, or why she has
no friends to secure her release, the
law that imprisons her is monstrously
unjust. 1t would imprison any other
poor person who might seek to prose
cute the perpetrator of crime or mis-
demeanor. The law says to the citizen,
practically, "It is your duty to prose-
cute, but you are liable to be sent to
Jail if you do" Better let the guilty
go free, at least in a majority of cases,
than make the innocent undergo a
cruel hardship.

Mr.. Quinn, as his usual wont, went in
to the yard where the horses were to
care for them. While there one of
his pets, " Old Joe," seized him by
the right side, lifting him clear off his
feet, and after giving him several
severe shakes, threw him violently to
the ground, breaking his thigh, In

In a recent issue of the St. Martins
Observer, we observed that the planters
lately inundated, who hitherto made
cotton and cane, had determined to de-
vote themselves exclusively to the cul-
tiVation of rice in the future, A sim
liar disposition is eyinced by portion
Of our planters, whose alluvia lands
are undoubtedly better fitted for rice
cultivation than they can ever be for
any other crop. We have been shown
by an opulant citizen of our town a
plan of a contemplated rice mill, which
is to be erected on his farm lying west
of this place. This parish, and espe-
eially that section of it, has large
acreage of as fine rice land as can
probably be found in the state, and
should this mill be erected there is
every probability that rice will become
the PRIMARY crop with the planters in
that portion Of the parish. AS the
erection of this mill is, as yet, Hndeter-
mined, the name of the builder must
necessarily remain confidential for
time longer New Iberia Star,
