The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1885-01-22

Yesterday, some distance below
Baton Rouge, was roWed over the
wide, swift river by an old mar
who was taking some new kind Of
cane to a new planter across the
Mississippi. The old mana rag
ged, gray and sullen old man he
was, and he was cross and impa
tient with the pale and timid little
girl whom he took with him. But
it was q good chance for me to see
the country and learn something,
and L kept on with him, walking
across tue fields, he carrying a
heavy load of cane on his back,
leading the pale and timid little
girl. 1 talked to her when the
cross and ugly father got far enough
ahead not to hear me, and l found
out that she was the youngest as
well as the only one living of a
large family of children.
After an hour of hard walking
over the soft loan, here sometimes
up to the ankles in the mellow
mould, and then sometimes up to
neck in weeds and wild cane, we
came to a row of cypress trees, or
rather to double row of cypress of
grand and ancient growth.
Far down this avenue of noble
trees / could see a heap of ruins;
old brick walls nearly hidden in
vines, tOttering quarters of brick
with the roofs falling in.
The cross old man was more
cross and sullen than before, for he
was very tired now, and he leaned
his back up against one of the cy-
press trees and rested his hard load
of cane long time. After awhile
he went on down the avenue, and
at the further end in the door of
small frame house near the river we
met man who took the load of
new cane to be planted as an expe
riment in that rich land under our
feet, and spoke very Kindly to my
cross old companion.
We had supper here with the
family, evidently new corners from
the north, and at last as night APP
we arose to return. As
be went back the old man took up
the timid and sleepy little girl some
of the time and bore her on his
shoulders.
And imagine my humiliation all
The way back. had found out
during supper that the old man had
once owned all this land; that the |
great house now in ruins at the end |
Of the avenue of trees had been his
ard his fathers before him. 1t had
oeen burned during the war, then
Ifter the war mortgages and mort
RACES; and then came death, the
leath of nearly all his family; final
y, discouragements on top of dis
mind and body all
broken to pieces now. What a pit
full story was that Of this weary old
nan stumbling along the mellow
oam of the great valley of the Mis-
issippi with the last Of his once
'roud family on his bowed old
houlders.
Well, it might have been 3 glori-
us war, with q glorious cause and
glorious conclusion, too, but when
OF celebrate it, and sing praise
yer those that fell, remember that
ne dead who fell in that war
re not all yet dead; or rather that
lere are people still dying from
-ounds OF that war-wounds of the
ar; wounds that never were re-
orted to any hospital; wounds that
ut no name on the pay lists;
ounds that are borne as never !
,ldier bore them, in patient and l
nrecorded valor.-Joaquin Miller I

EGGS for Wintar.

Eggs bring much higher
prices in winter than in summer,
and the aim of poultry men should
be to obtain a liberal supply OF
winter eggs. An exchange says
extra early Matched pullets, not
much matter what breed, are the
best winter egg producers; but
they must have warm quarters
and warm feed, carefully varied
every few days so as to stimulate
their appetites. Fowls are
great meat eaters In the summer
they satisfy their desire for meat
by eating worms, etc, but in winter
they have no such resource, and SO
they should have meat scraps
bones, etc, furnished them. In
fact every thing which will tend
toward increasing the production OF
eggs should be applied the hers, in
liberal quantities.-Spirit of the
Farm.

MERCEDES. The Breeders Ga
zette last summer offered a silver
cup for the largest yield of butter
made in thirty consecutive days,
open to all breeds. This cup was
awarded to Mercedes, NJ. 923,

ninety-nine pounds and six ounces
of unsaIted butter in the allotted
time. During the test she averaged
eighty four pounds of milk per day,
and reached as high as eighty eight
pounds ten and half gallons) per
day. Her closest competitor was
the Jersey COW, "Mary Ann of II.
Lamberts," who reached ninety sew
en- pounds of butter. Last fall an
eight month old heifer calf out OF
Mercedes, sold for $4,000, and a
SOD of hers for $4,000 Her death
was great loss to her owner and

CoNcH PEA simply want to
say that every farmer of the south
ought to have some of these peas,
and in fact ought to plant their pea
crop in them, as they produce mere
vines on any soil, rich or poor, than
any pea that l have ever seen, and
will make as many peas from the
same amount of seed as any pea
L am acquainted with. The vine
does not bunch, as other peas, but
as soon as they are six inches high
they commence to send out runners
and the pes, planted four feet apart
each way and two in a hill, will
cover the ground with vines, if
they are worked well. 1 have no
seed for sale.-C. Horace Mccall,

The market was very strong and firm and
there was an advance on various articles.
Some relief is at last found for butter. The
law in regard to olemargerine having gone
into effect. that stuff disappeared to such an
extent that dealers in the regular article have
now some opportunity to do business in a
legitimate way. There is consequently an
improved demand for the better grades and a
chance is given to dispose of some of the
stock that has been so long accommodating
Hay has advanced. Eggs and potatoes are
about steady. The call:
