Cotton anu Fodder.

Did it ever occur to our South ern farmer friends that they are possessed of two of the best food clements tor cattle that tho world affords, i. e., cotton seed and fod- der? The Louisiana Sugar Bowl in commenting upon ,,this point, sums up the subject as follows:
 "These two foods are compli- mentary--'richness and rough ness and make food perfect in all the essential clements. And when we come to look at the cost of theso feeds and compare them with other things, it IS found that nothing the farmer produces is cheaper provender. Tho fodder grown upon and along with the corn, is a surplus crop, as it were; and tho cottonsecd grows along with the lint, is worth more than the lint in fact, and after all the valuable oil is extracted still leaves a meal or cake worth enough to the cattle rsiser or dairymsn to al- most pay the original cost of grow ing the cotton crop. It costs noth. ing in fact, even though the oil has not first been extracted, 60 that, along with the corn fodder, it makes very cheap as we'll as very valuable feed"

 Well. I have, and I'll give you su example. One nightin Boston young man, meeting an acqualn- ,snce, said; Come let's have drink. Twas never in Boston, but that re- mark brought about our marriage Why, George, yon are foolish Neither of us were ever in bos'oh' You must be losing your mind Tell you what I'll do: l promis- ed to get you new cloak, didn | l?

 Well. one night in Boston about ten years ago, young man, meet no friend, asked him 10 come and have a drink. The friend, . drug clerk, did so, He took sev- ersl drinks and got drunk. That settled it.

 The fact of our marriage.
 How can you be so foolish7
 Never mind, I'll explain. Tho drug clerk got drunk and went t' the store. Shortly afterward servant girl eptcred and handed him & prescription. In putting | up he used morphine instead O 
 ouinlne. The girl went away, ant delivered the medicine to Mra Potter. who took it and died.
 Oh. what's the use of prolonsini this foolishness?
 Hold on. The death of that wo man drew yen and me closer to gethsr than we ever were before

Summary: If tn friend had not asked the drug cler to drink on one certain occasio he would not have got drunk. he hadn't been drunk he would no have made a mistake in filling tn prescription, and had he not mad a mistake, Mrs. Potter would no have been killed, and had she no died, Potter would not have lief Now York, and had he not left tha city should not have met him and had I not gone into bushes with him

tary Lamar has proved himself the
great man Of the cabinet. He writes;
The first eighteen months of the pres

by the president is Secretary Lamar.
He has done more good substantial
work for the country than any Of his

The Farmer In Politics.

"The supreme duty Of all American

In America the ballot Ofno one class
is of such Hhclming influence az
that Of the agriculturist, or farmer, and
it is not putting it too strongly To state
that in importance it outweighs oil
others cou bin-d. For, according to
the United States census Of 1850, the
number Of males. aud presumably OF
voters, engaged in agricultural pur-
suits very nearly equals the number OF
males engaged in all other pursuits

Price OF Cotton.

From tho best information We have,
and viewing the matter from past OK.
perience, We judge that the present
price Of cotton will DO about tho aver
age for this sNsn. The heavy crop
tina, was made last year has not been
consumed yet, and nearly all our fac.
tories an still over. stocked with cot
ton scods, for which there in not much
dcnsnd. Reasoning from these facts
we judge that tue present crop will
range from 6 IL TOP crn,s per pound.
We hate to belong To elias. OF l-told

ers will refer to the fil~s Of our papers
in the spring, they will find one admc-
milton following another in which We
plead with our farmer friends 70 di-
versify their crop; not to depend upon
cotton ~ entirely for their oasa returns.
What matters il il cotton will always
bring cash money, provided it brings
you less cash than ii costs you. Cot
ton throughout this section this year
will not average more than one bale to 8
acres, or in cash value about w to
every three acres. Can you make It
this ehcapi No; and the longer yon
try the poorer you will get. Next
spring about the usual amount Of
about &5,OOO will leave the county to
supply us with mules. every one OF
which ought to I've raised at home. Aud

which we have AS good facilities for

fabulous that will go out of the county

fact: DO our farmers here realize that
they can never compete with the great
delta country in raising the ileecy sta

than ours ever will bc. They produce
three times rs much per acre with half
the work required by us. IT.
therefore, orr farmer friends must
raise cotton, why, our advice is to 90

bales to the acre. We have rumbcr

as well do in advance. IL is this: plant
cotton only as n surplus crop; raise
more stock and grain, poultry, and
gardens, and rest assured YOU will have
just about as much money for one
tenth the amount of labor.
