PROSPERITY

Is sufficient for human happi-
ness. or ought to be. To attain 1t
is the object of the great majority.
To know how to obtain it, seemsto
bc the object of not so many. 1t
would appear to a reasonable man,
that it would be matter OF absorb
ing interest, to understand how to
come out ahead, at the end OF the
wear. An experience of twenty
odd years has shown that planting
under the present system, with a
few. and very, notable exceptions
is a losing game. As a matter OF
fact. the credit system, is worse
than no system at all. How many
plantations in your immediate
neighborhood are held by the heirs
of the original owners ? You can
count them on the fingers Of one
hand, and leave the thumb out.
There is something radically
wrong about this, and it should be
the earnest endeavor of every land
holder to find it out. 1t is not the
fault of the land, neither is it be-
cause of overflow. A better crop
of cotton can be made here after an
ordinary overflow, than can be
made in any hill country under the
sun. 1t is said that it costs more
to make crop here than in the
hill countries. That is just what S
the matter. 1t ought not to, and
if properly managed it would not

What Can Ee Done.

The new era, as it is called III
the South. or, in other words, the or
canized effort to improve their con-
dition by the people of the South
crn States, is based upon the true
principle that work, and the best
work possible, is the only secret OF
success in agriculture and i'll all
other industries. The State OF
Georgia has taken formost posi-
ton in this effort to improve the
condition of agriculture. 1t was
the first of the Southern States to
establish an agricultural expert
ment station, which was done about
10 years ago. The result has been
very great Improvement in agrl-
cultural methods, and a cores
tponding increase in the product OF
farm labor.
This year new competition was
inaugurated, covering five acre
patches instead of being for the best
one acre. The idea was to cause
the farmer to improve more land,
and encourage the system of inten-
sive farming. 1t is natural to sup
pose that five acres of land, even
when carfully fcrtilized will not
produce five times as much as the
best one acre; yet the contrary
was shown in this case. One farm.
er made 1888 pounds of lint cotton,
equal to 1879 pounds to the acre,
and Il bales to the five acre patch
Altogether 12O acres were planted
in this competition, averaging ",
pounds. or more than two bales tC
the acre. One farmer produccc
195 bushels of clean shelled co L
and two others made more thar

1t remained for the Ruston Cali

The speech was generally COM

differences between the President
and Mr.. Eustis. But the Caligraph
sees the malice.

STOCK LOSSES.


Gus draw back to stock raising, and
to avoid such losses, it is essential
that the would be stock raiser
should know something about the
habits and disposition of the stock.
There has been of late a number OF
deaths of horses in this parish, aid
there has been considerable men
ton made of "blind staggcrs.
Now as matter of fact there is no
disease recognizedby stock experts
as blind staggers.
inflammation of the brain as a rule |
is accompanied by staggers, and
there is disease known as stomach |
or sleepy staggers, but what is gen.
orally called "blind staggers" is
inflammation of t., e brain, and one
of the symptoms is staggering.
The disease known as gastritis or
inflammation of the stomach is also
accompanied by staggering. In
fiamation of the brain is not un-
common, and is produced by a
number of causes, among which
NAV be mentioned exposure to cold,
wet storms, and eating erg)ted
grain, or smut. The symptoms of
inflammation of the brain, are quick
pulse; quick respiration; great
prostratiOn; constipation delirium
which soon runs into stupidity; the
horse places his head against wall
and pushes and braces himself
against it; he will cat occasionally,
and will dozc off into stupor with
his mouth full, and let the food
drop; when reused he will paw and
move around, hang his head, per-
haps against the wall, and then
doze again. These symptoms may
continue for several days, mad-fits
coming oftcner and more violently
each time till death takes place, or
lie may die in forty-eight hours.
Animals thus affected seldom re-
cover, and when they do are not
safe, as they are liable to another
attack any time, and from the most
trivial cause. This is inflammation
of the brain or phrenitis.
If discovered in the very earliest
stage, when the pulse is full and
quick, bleed the horse, taking from
f two to four quarts of blood. Give
l a purgative-here is good one.
