erable injury. Before the worms
came, cotton promised an album
dant yield, but, alas IN one week
our hopes were obliterated in that
direction. Experience schools are
SAID to be the best Of senools; let
US then profit bv the experience We
have gained. II requires no de-
monstratlon, that cotton is an un-
safe crop alone, for that fact is
too prominent to admit even of
argument. One year, We have
worms, another drouth, another
rust another too much vet weather.
1t IS rarely ever the case, that we
gather a full crop of cotton IN this
country; while to gather crop of
grain, when planted in time, such
as corn, oats, rye or peas, we rare
ly ever fail. We should then take
these facts into consideration, and
when We fail, We should study the
cause of that failure, and endeeyor
to remedy it IN our future trans
actions. This season we see cot
ton has tailed, and we see that, if
We had planted mor~ corn and
oats, We could Cow revel in an
abundance of s'hog and hominy,"
even though We have not cotton to
buy luxaries. Oats never fail to
make an abundance, when sown at
the right time, and the time for
sowing fall oats is now. Every
farmer should have as much as 10
acres in oats, and larger farmers
should have more in proportion to
the land they cultivate. The oat
pasture, besldes the oats harvested
will be splendid next summer, for
your work stock and also for your
hogs; if you do not want to use
the pasture, you can SOW it in peas
and realize, counting both crops,
as much ~ you could possibly re
alize with the same land in cotton,
besides IT will take less labor, and
will not lmpoverish the soil, as it
will grow better every. time you
SOW peas and oats, alternately up
on it. - -,
There isanother industry, which
is receiving considerable impetus
in our sister parish Natchltoches,
and that is, the raising of Bermuda
hay. Any Of our creek bottoms
will produce tins hay in abund-
ance, and where stock ls kept from
it, it will produce as many as three
cuttings during the year, and even
. small acreage 1t that rate, wlll
produce all the hay that any farm
er would need on his place for al
purposes, besides, with larger
acreage, and larger yield, = mar.
kct could be found near home, fol
all time to come. Our farmer,
should begin to study about thest
things and endeavor to raise ev.
erythlng In the line Of gra,n and
forage, that we can raise 1t home
and only plant cotton Is . surplu,
crop. If we would do tins, VI
would have everything at home t.
run our farms, and though cottoI
should fail our all does not depent
upon it. e
Sugar and molasses can also b
raised, and indeed are to some ex
tent, equal to those we buy, am
when made, finds ready sale q
home, at good prices.
One will say these arguments ar
very good, but ! am IN debt, en-
must raise cotton to pay out. Bu
don't you see, that you are sink
ing deeper in debt every year try

A Sun Dance.

A correspondent of the Worcester Spy.
who recently attended an Indian dance in
New Mexico, writes:
The sun dance begins at sunrise and is kent
up through heat or cold. rain or shine, till
sunset. The dancers are formed to two or
three companies; as soon as one company
ceases dancing another commences. The
dance continues from one-half to three quar-.
tiers of an hour. The dance At San Domingo
took place on the Central street, or rather
square, about 100 braves and sQuaws dancing
while the low house tops were covered with
medicine men, squsws, pspooses. maiden,
and Indian boys not old enough to dance, all
watching very intently what whas going on.
The only music was kind of drum or tom
tom, resembling q half barrel. which was
beaten continually, with the time sell

done by standing on one foot. hop

They were all, in each company, dressed

heels, buckskin leggins and moccasins, and

The Future Of Texas,

The question of the future condition OF
Texas is still an unsettled one. At present
it is thoroughly Southern in politics, society
and industry, but there is . large Northern
emigration down the newly opened railway
routes, and vital leaven Of Northern senti-
ment is being infused into some localities.
Now there is the beginning of very large
emigration from Germany in the way OF
colonies, and extra steamers have been put
on to accommodate them. They will make a
healthy infusion of thrift and education, and
within a few years it is possible that the
present dominant character of the State will
be so far modified as to permit and encour-
age a thoroughly liberal and progressive
spirit. There is an immense future for the
imperial new State, if it does not become
fossilized. IL oridence Journal.
