To KEEP Milk FOR USE. If it is
wanted purely for use, and not for
making butter, use it in this way.
After the milk is taken from the COW
set it in a cool place and stir it until
the animal heat is all out. 1t takes
but little time to do it. This mixes
all the PARTICLES that would rise on
top as cream through the milk, and
gives the whole a rich creamy taste
and totally removes the fresh taste
and odor OF milk when first drawn.
When stirred as stated, not n particle
of cream will rise to the top and the
whole will have a delightful creamy
taste lfthere he an abundance Of
milk part may be done this way,
and the balance set aside for cream
rising to make butter. Sweet on
buttermilk should never be placed in
cupboards or safes or close place, il
makes it funky and spoils its taste
a good deal depends upon caring fol

BLACKBERRY WINE If You wish
to make blackberry vine, measure
your berries-they mnst be ripe and
good-and bruise them well. To
every gallon add one quart of boiling
water, let the mixture stand twenty
four hours, stirring occasionally :
then strain oil the liquor into a nice
clean cask, adding to every agllon
! or lbs. of sugar, the latter guam
tlty if you want Il very sweet wine !:
cork tight and let it stand in toler-
able cool place till the following Oc-
tober. The wine can then be bot
tied. No little tubes, or siphons are
needed to draw of the acid. Put it
up just ms we have stated. Those
who put up in cask in this way will
wish they had put up a barrel or
more. Oi course you will use it
with caution and for medicinal pur.
poses only. Blackberries are plenti-
1ul IN Cobb county this enr and we
will give everybody half they pick.

GOOD ROApS.

We have heretofore several times
in these columns urged upon the at
tention of the people the wisdom of
making good public roads, says the
Gadsden News. The farmer is di-
rectly interested in securing them,
because he has to travel over them
whether going on business or pleas
ure. The towns are indirectly in
terested in the question, for the more
easily the products of labor reach a
market the liylier and freer trade is.
The season Of the annual road work
ings is now at hand, and road over
seers should use their utmost efforts
to get the highways in good condi-
ton. Probably the most important
point to be gained-and it is one us
ually least considered-is the proper
drainage of contiguous land to the
road. In the first place the roadbed
should be graded so as to slope from
the center to each side. Should the
surrounding land be low and fat,
bitches must be cut to carry off the
water, else work will be thrown away
in raising a grade. For, if water
stands constantly on both sides, the
roadway must become wet, and with
the passage Of wagons and other We
hicles over it will be cut into holes
or worked into an impossible bog.
1t is admitted that the road laws gem
orally are defective and inadequate,
and the greatest vigilance and activi-
ty can only partially attain the end
sought, good roads. One of the
greatest needs of the South is the inn
migration Of small farmers agricul
tural industrialists, who, to quote a
homely saying, ''liye at home and
board at the same place" The at
tention Of such men is turning to-
wards us, and that community which
offers such inducements as good pub
lie roads and public schools will Sc
cure them as citizens. Good public
roads are a public blessing, conduc-
i've to the prosperity and happiness
of the people. Let unusual efforts
be made toward securing such this
summer and fall.

Prohibition by local option, prohibi-
ton by general laws, and partial prohi-
bition by high license, are more or less
advocated but if whisky is snch a
great evil that the use of it should be
abolished, why not go to the root OF
the matter at once, and suppress alb
solutely the manufacture OF whisky
But the lawmakers want a revenue
from whisky, and therefore they would
tax the manufacture of it aud license
the sale of it; to suppress the manu-
facture of it, would cut off these our
ces of revenue-and the government
must have money, though every man,
woman and child become drunkards.
If the government will not suppress
the manufacture of whisky, drunken
ness should be declared a crime, punish
able with fine and imprisonment. All
the damage caused by whisky, comes
by those who drink it; and there is 10
reason why those who sell or retail
whisky, should receive all the blame
for evils it causes, while the mannfac-
turer receives none at all, and the
voluntary drnnkard is considered a
victim.

The periodical assaults of those sue
cessive leeches upon the body polite
have made the body so sick and sore
that their advent is hailed with gloomy
doubt and miseiving and their deced-
ence has become matter for general
congratusation. 1t is so with the body
which has just adjourned, and it has
been so with the long line OF its prede-
cessors. stretching out to a period
:" ante bellum.n .
Nevertheless all those mischievous
bodies have numbered in their ranks
good, we'll meaning men whose inten-
ton has been to subserve the popular
welfare by honest methods. Especially
has this been the case with the body
which has just adjourned. But cm DO
no ? for the want of stamina and or
g%anization they have signally failed to
defeat or even to retard, the damaging
currents which were fed by bribery on
which the Boodleists 1oated, selfishly
indifferent whether the Common wealth
should sink or swim, SO that they
pocketed the swag.

The Tariff and the Cotton
Planter.
C'''nton Watchlnau.

The Tariff. is absolutely and entirely
a sytem of Glass legislation.
1t takes none out OF the pockets OF
one man and puts it in the pockets of
another.
1t secures higher prices for the pro-
duets of one mans labor, and makes
some other man pay that Increased
price.
The iron producer is represented by
Mr.. Randall, who votes for Il high
tariff, for no other purpose but to put
money in the purse of the iron pro-
ducer.
The Sugar producer is represented
by Mr.. Gay, and he votes for a high
tariff, for no other purpose but to put
money in the purse of the sugar pro-
ducer.
The whole thing is a matter of down
right s~eltishness.
Now we want to enquire, where the
Cotton planter in? What does
lie get? What does he gain or lose
The answer Isle gains nothing; he
loses everything nothing that he pro-
duces or sells is increased in price by
the tariff, and everything that he buys
is increased in price.
Every cotton planter ought to take
his yearly store account and look over
it, and notice how much the prices of
the different items on that account are
increased by the Tariff laws 1t is safe
to say that every cotton planter ac-
count, leaving ont the groceries, is in
creased 40 per cent by our high tariff.
The Democratic party pledged itself
to reduce these high duties.

last year at $4,000 pei. mile, this year
it was increased to $1,000; but the

company appeared before the board

St. Landry democrat., 1886-07-24

The Chicago Times has the following.
by no means agreeable fact, to tell
about Northern shrewdness, by which
the growth of ages on Louisiana soil
in timber wealth will be transferred to
alien factories and the proceeds to
alien pockets:
1.-The woodlands of Louisiana are
fast passing into the hands OF Northern
men. Four years ago a number OF
shrewd Western capitalists sent their
agents down there to examine tile
lumber it would make, and the quality
of the woodlands. These agents made
a thorough examination at a minimum
cost, and sent back the most favorable
reports, urging the firms they repre-
scented to make purchases. The result
has been that up to July /, 1886, 1,15O,-
532 acres, mainly of pine lands, had
been bought at 81 % an acre-about
One-half of all the government land in
the State. and nearly o~ne-quarter of
the area covered by the lOng-itaf pine.
This is all picked land, and though on
ly one-fOurth of the area, contains half
the merchantable long-leaf pine timber
in Louisiana
This is only one Of the many boasts
about the bonanza these investors have
captured in this State. Doubtless 1T is
as great or greater than they represent.
But Louisiana yet has a taxable inter-
rst in these important values, and it be-
hooves Auditor Steele to see to it that
these are not omitted from or under
estimated on the rolls for 1886. There
should be no sentiment about this mat
ter. Our own people get little Of it
when it come to tax levies, aud out
side spectators are entitled to no more
consideration. Those millions Of cheap
lands should be made to aid in support
of government. The Item will protest
if it does rot find them entered for that
purpose.-City Item.
The Item seems to take a very mar
row view of this matter. If the State
government is not satisfied with the
taxes paid by the residents of the State,
but must sacrifice the public lands in
order to get more money to sqnander,
it has betrayed its trust. Capitalists
ought not to be allowed to m%onopolise
the public lands of the State these
lands ought to be held in reserve for
the people to be taken up as popula-
ton increases. A few more such land
sales as are alluded to above, and like
the ones to Watkins in Cameron and
Calcasieu parishes, and there will be no
public land in the State for the people
to settle on, and no timber with which
to build. except what is bought at an
ex0rbitant rate from these land monopo-
lists. That the government is squan-
dering taxes derived from these lands,
is very poor consolation to the people
who have been deprived OF them.
