Pretty Girls.

Beauty in women is rot to be
andervaIued, but it is easy to over
value it. IA well. known employer,
who has about two thousand girls in
his store and %work-rooms was asked
the other day whether a pretty girl
could sell more goods than an ordin-
ary.looking one. After hesitation
he answered, doubtfully: 'Yes-if
She has other qualifications" Beauty
alone, Ii. said will not lure the
money from a careful customer; and
when a girl is too conscious Of her
beauty. and is disposed to depend
upon it for her power 10 please, it
becomes a hindrance. The intelli-
gent mind, the winning manner, the
earnest purpose. are "the other
qualifications" which gives success.
1t is much the same in the great
affair of marriage. Beauty alone
is by no means the attractive force
it is often supposed to be. Dull
conscious, irresponsible beauty
pleases but for a moment, and does
not in that moment please much. |;
is the good, kind, friendly, capable
girl whom we all like, and who car
soonest convert liking into love
If, in addition to all these nice
Qualities, she has the gift of beaut,
so much the better. Bat we ca,
dispense with that very easily wher
the heart is good and the mind il
intelligent.

The Piantation-For February.

Most of the business Of last month
may still be continued, 1t must be
borne in mind that the range Of
climate and of season in a State Of
such vast extent as Louisiana is very
considerable. 1t is not, therefore,
possible to come within an average
range Of less than a month in these
hints. Above all, keep the ploWs
going whenever the state of the
ground will allow Of it. Plant Irish
potatoes and SOW spring oats, al
though it is now quite late enough
for either. During vet weather, in
addition to the items named last
month, sort over and she'll seed corn,
which should always be selected in
the field and housed by itself, pre-
yious to gathering in the crop. Pick
over sufficient cotton seed to plant a
part Of the crop, from which to Sc.
lect the seed Of the year following;
without some such practice. all seeds
deteriorate. Plant corn during the
first favorable weather after the 10th
or Goth, taking care 10 cover shall
low. Sow two or three acres OF
good land IN corn in drills, two and
q half and three feet apart-invalu-
able for green fodder. Break up
the ground intended for sweet pota'
toes, if not done before. Frost, even
slight as it usually proves thus far
South, is a powerful agent in pulver
izing mould for covering seeds; and
the sooner the cotton ridges can
be exposed to it's action, the better.
1t should never be forgotten that tie
best possible security We can give
our corn crops against the droughts
is to pillow deep and plant early. Ii
this way crops Of twenty to thirty
bushels per acre can be made
without a drop Of rain after the corr
comes up. Corn planting; in the
southwestern portion of Louisiana
should not be postponed beyond
February. Better risk a frost and
replant, than plant later. But b'
sure and pillow deep.

, Breeding Pigs for Profit.

The pigs should have room for eyer
else to develop the growth of muscle
and harden the flesh. SKINNED milk
and buttermilk give whiteness and
sweetness to the flesh, and oats and
barley give far better flavor than
corn. In the season corn ''in the milk"
especially sweet corn, both stalk and
ear, is excellent food. Corn meal may
be given instead of oats and barley at
the finish, but potatoes and milk are
the best food for staple diet. T.. Cotton.
