the second hill without this preps-
ration. The result will be, almost
always, that in the first bill the
rootlets, and subsequent roots, WI
grow down where the liquid has
soaked, much more quickly, grow
stronger, spread wider. and SEM
out far more numerous feeding
fibres than will be found in the sec
ond hill. The young corn plants
land the same with other plants
will, like well fed young animals,
develop much earlier and take far
better advantage Of the growing
season. In short, whatever the
soil, this hill will, on the average,
ripen earlier, produce more stalks,
and twenty to fifty per eent--often
a hundred per cent.-more sound
kernels than the other hill. And.
by the way, there is in the quart OF
fertilizer, enough material left for
similar effect upon three or four
other corn hills.
Now, visit the farm-yards Of the
country generally, and in nine
tenths of them there will be found,
on one side or another, quarts, gal
Ions, barrelfuls of this golden liquid,

scores and hundreds of barrels of it

in stimulating plant food, now lost
from the yards of the four and one

corn hills and the roots OF other
crops. Real gold Will be found in

cesstul in getting 8 stand with csue
cut in two, three and four joints to
the piece, dropping lengthwise in
the row, than where the whole
stalk was laid down, leaving space
of ten inches or a foot between each
piece. In this way the same guam
tity of cane will plant nearly double
the quantity of land that it will to
lay down the whole stalk. Last
year I tried an experiment by cut
ting cane with two joints to each
piece, and sat it up endwise. with
the eyes, as tie buds are called,
pointing up, leaving space of fif.
teen inches between each piece. The
land was broken deep and we'll pull
verified, and it was but little trouble
to stick it down. The two rows
planted in this way came up to a
perfect stand two or three weeks
earlier than the balance of the
patch. It made at least one. third
more stalks to the row, and the
stalks were larger than the rows
next to them. The preparation of
the land and the fertilizer used was
exactly the same, with 10 difference
whatever in the cultivation, while
it did not require more than one
fourth the cane to plant than it did
to lay down the whole stalks. Il
think one sound eye to the piece,
set one foot apart, will do as we'll
as two. There is no crop that pays
better. I made last year, from one
fourth OF an acre, 12S gallons OF as
fine syrup as was ever raised in |
Louisiana. One of my nearest |

a GOLD VEIN ON MOST
FARMS.

Very many communities know
the excitement produced by the
rumor, even, that somebody in the
vicinity has found indications OF
the presence of gold in his soil. I'm.
told millions have been expended
in searching for the precious metal
in localities where bit of useless
iron pyrites (sulphide of iron) has
been mistaken for gold, which it
resembles in color. Our OBSERVE
ton indicates that there is, on at
least four-fifths of the farms of this
country, an overlooked gold vein,
OF much greater value than any vel
low metal likely to be found out

nations.

on any farm or garden, will explain

SUCCESSFUL BURGLARY.-The store
of ]. E. Smith & Sons, in Coving-
ton, was robbed last Saturday night.
The burglars entered through the
back window on the ground floor,
and broke the safe open, by means
Of a small drill, with which they
bored a number of holes through
the door of the safe, and took out a
piece about six by four inches in
dimension, and bent the sides back.
1t was evidently the work of pro-
fessional cracksmen. They had q
very easy job of it, as the inside
lining of the safe door was decayed
and broken, and nothing remained
between them and their booty but
thin piece of sheet-iron, and there
was no one in the building at the
time but themselves. They secured
about 500 in cash, besides a num-
Der of old parish warrants, and
about $4,000 in Confederate bonds.
The robbery is supposed to have
been committed by burglars from
the city. The matter was prompt
ly placed in the hands of detec-
tires, but up to the present time no
arrests have been made.

A Washington correspondent q
the Chicago Times says. A suga,
retiner, after the tariff bill passed
said: ave didn't get all we want.
ed, but We don't complain. The
surprising thing to me is .hst the
Louisiana delegation, with the ex-
ception of Senator Kellogg, voted
against the bill. All they wanted
was protection for sugar, and they
got that, heaven knows. Why they
ought to canonize Kellogg down in
Louisiana. Re has not only saved
sugar from a reduction, but he has
got better protection than the pres
ent law provides. The use of this
polariscope alone is worth, in the
way Of protection, half a cent a
pound. All the best informed sugar
planters know this, and they are
having a quiet chuckls at the
shrewd way Kellogg pulled the
wool over the eyes of the Senate.
John Sherman knows what that DO
!ariscope test amounts to, and he
says openly that the new sugar
schedule Increases the sugar duty
over the present duty. If the
Democrats undertake to revise the
tariff, Louisiana will never come Oft
SO well again with her sugar inter-
ests. The fact is. the duty on sugar
and rice is the boldest piece of pro-
tection in the whole bill. The
South ought to be thankful, be-
cause she comes cut of the contest |
better than any other section. She
lot only gets all she wants in sugar
md rice, but the tariff on cotton
les was not disturbed, while iute
md bolt wire We're put On the free
list, thus decreasing the price of
'otton bagging."

Description OF land: A descrip-
ton of land in tax receipt or deed
as the "North side S. W. quarter of
block 2" ETC., is not void for in
definiteness and uncertainty; those
words mean the north half of the
southwest quarter of the lot.
accuracy is not indis-
end descriptions are not
to be rejected because they are awk-
wardly and inaptly expressed. If,
taking the language in the connec-
ton IN which it is used. the mean
ing is reasonably clear to the ordi-
nary apprehension, it is sufficient.
