High Farming.

High farming is that system of man.
agement that concentrates the capital
and energies on small place instead of
distributing the means over large sur
faces. Ii less land be cultivated it can
be kept up to high degree of fertility,
for the crop not only finds all that is
needed for growth and maturity, but
leaves a balance on hand in the shape
of surplus plant food in the soil. The
same amount of manure or fertilizer,
when spread over broad areas. NAV give
partial growth to large number of
plants, but it may be insufficient to
complete them to that point at which
the harvest is the test of success. A
profit is possible from weIl-tilled
space. but it is only attained under
many adverse conditions when such
space is large The labor of tillage
is reduced, for fewer animals are re-
quired to do the work, and less farm
help is needed. The time lost in dis
lance of transportation from the field to
the barn is saved, and. above all, each
succeeding year finds the soil in better
condition, and susceptible of greater
production.
On farms that are well titled the stock
receives the attention so necessary for
the promotion of fat. growth, milk and
labor, ard every pound of manure is
fully saved, prepared, and made fit for
available service. The tools and other
implements of labor are kept up to
certain standard. and everything is
worked with system that allows Of no.
waste of material, time or labor. The
crops are of character that bring in
the greatest profit, and the land is not
robbed by grass and weeds, as the space,
being limited, admits of the frequent
use of not only the harrow and culti-
vator, but the hoe as well, and often the
spade 1t is the thoroughness of the
cultivation that gives the profit III farm
ing, and not the number of acres The
high system of farming is one that does
not create a desire for more land, but
rather stimulates as to the best method
for increasing the yield of that operated.
Economy can best be practiced by
high farming, and as the expense must
first be deducted before the profit can
be reached, it is clear that the greater
the production for given sum ex-
pended in material and labor, the
larger the profit. Farm, Field and

lice commissioners to pervert the POI

conniving at gambling or the sale OF
lottery tickets. They say, however,
that tue apprehension and indignation
which recently pervaded TIE com

to make it more effective and relieve

Death of Capt. Ferry by Sniclde-Iiis
Life ana Character.

Special 10 the Gazette.
Houston, December 22.-This morn
ing Capt. Albert Ferry was found
dead in his bed Mt his boarding house,
under circumstances which led 10 the
conclusion that he committed
suicide by taking morphine. Capt.
Ferry was a native of Louisiana, OF
French extraction, and belonged To II
fine old Louisiana family. During
the entire war he was private seere-
tary Of General Beauregard, and en-
joyed the utmost confidence OF that
distinguished confederate general. He
was highly educated, polished gen
tleman, and one Of the thous-
ands who were ruined by the
war, and had no sources to fall back
upon. He attempted to make Journal
ism his profession, but his retiring
nature prevented him from pushing
forward and making money by his
peu, although he contributed several
valuable articles upon farming sub
jects notably sugar culture, in which
me was theoretical expert. For
a short time last spring he
was on the Houston Post, but left for
larger fields, and only returned to
Houston Il few days ago. As he had
lately contracted the morphine habit,
il Is possible he took an overdose by
mistake. Judge Bermudez of New
Orleans, n distinguished relative OF the
deceased, will have the body decently
inferred.
