Southern States.
The Department of Agriculture haA
been investigating, through its State
agents, the subject of farmers debts in
the South, and the facts it has collected
are to a Northern man at least as.
founding. 1t SEEM that the Southern
planters not only generally hold their
lands subject to mortgages on which
they pay from 8 to 10 per cent. interest,"
but the majority of them mortgage
their crops to merchants who furnish
them with fertilizers. food and othef
supplies to be paid for in the fall. For
supplies obtained in this way the most
exhorhitant prices are charged, the ins
creasepyer cash rates being enough to
wipe OFT any possible proftsin the best
of seasons. ThesNorth Carolina agent
saws at least one-fourth of the value of
the cotton crop in his State is lost to
the farmers in this way. In South Car
DINA the recorded liens on growing
crops show that there were advances to
farmers by merchants amounting to
nearly twelve millions of dollars in
1882, and the extra price charged for
thisaecommodation Wasfrom2 20 to 40 per
cent. In Georgia the supplies bought
on credit are bacon, lard, flour, corn
and hay and fertilizers. The average
cash and credit prices of corn and bacon
during the last growing seaso (aver-
age of the State) were about as follows:
Cash. Credit.
Cents. Cents. Payable
20 e. Nov.
The average length of credit is about
four months, buying commencing about
May l and extending throughout July,
payable November /. This would indi-
cate a rate per cent. per annum for
corn 50, and bacon .02 over the cash
prices. The agent says that it would
be safesto say that the average rate per
cent, added to the cash prices OF all
goods sold to farmers, is SO per cent.
per annum.
In Alabama 45 per cent. of the farm
ers were in debt January l, and with
out available means of meeting such in
d~ebtedness. They were, therefore,
obliged to purchase all their supplies
on time, and for thus having mort
gagged his crop to merchant he is
compelled to pay that one whatever he
pleases to ask, which is generally at
least so per cent. more than the cash
price. OF Louisiana the agent writes:
s'Seventy-fve per cent Of the farmers
and planters are in debt. The cost of
such Indebtedness, in my opinion, is
fully Is per cent. of the entire crop.
The current rate of interest upon adj
vances of money and provisions is NOM
inally 5 per cent. and p per cent. for
selling, and 2 per cent. freights; total,
about Is per cent. Country merchants
charge more, obtaining from Is to 20
per cent. for advancing, besides a heavy
profit on goods sold"-M Chicago Herald.

A SNOW lBEx KILLED.

enc rare animal disposed Gf By An Ol0
Trapper In the Owl Mountains.
LANDER (Wy. IT, special.l
In the Owl mountains is seen at long in
tervals a snow or white ibex. One of
these rare animals was recently killed by
an old trapper and hunter known as
Shoshone Jack. The snow ibex attains
the size of the big horn or mountain
sheep, has a coat of dazzling white, and
is of the true ibex breed. 1t is both active
and powerful, M when driven to bay is
a most dangerous adversary. Its. massive
horns, with their backward sweep of two
feet. are formidable weapons and are for.
midably used. Some years since Tom
Anten, then a mountain prospeetor and
hunter, now half owner in the not
ed Bonanza oil spring, Big Horn
Basin, came near losing his life in an
encounter with a snow ibex in the Owl
mountains. Tom was in pursuit of a band
of black-tal deer, when he espie1 ahead
OF him what he at first took for a moving
snow heap. Soon, however, he saw it was
an animal, and a moment later knew that
it must be the famed mountain rara avis,
a snow ibex. The ibex, an old ram, was
Wieniu lah IuASe, dAu Anteu at Ouc0
pulled down upon him. At the crack of
the rifle the animal fell in its tracks.
Fastening up to secure the rare prize,
Anten suddenly found himself confronted
by the Infatuated animal. A most ire
mendous "butt" sent the hunter flying
into tho air, and when he struck the ground
the ram was on top of him. And now the
heavy, curved horns of the furious
brute were dashed again and again
against the anatomy of the hunter.
Every bone and joint felt the
fearful punishment. Finally, Anten
succeeded In grasping one of the heavy
horns, and, dragging himself to his knees,
confronted his furious assailant. He held
on desperately, and was forced to the
brink of a rough and steep mountain
washout. Here Anten succeeded in draw
ing his hu nting-knife. He made several
Intellectual passes with this weapon and
the closely clasped foes went down the
washout together. The ibex struck the
bottom underneath, and the keen and
ready blade of the hunter drank deep
of its life-blood. Again and again did
the knife strike home, and the snow ibex
was a corpse. When dressed the carcass
weighed one hundred and twenty-five
pounds, and the flesh proved excellent
eating. The Owl mountains seem to be
the only Wyoming district in which the
snow ibex is found. There are said to be
a few in certain localities of the Montana
mountains.
