TENANT FARMI NC.

Its Failure Said to He Due to the Short.
Term Lease System.
Over one-fourth of the farms in the
United States are worked by tenants
and about nine-tenths on one-year
leases. Owners are unwilling to lease
for longer term until they "know
their man." During the year some
thing usually occurs to provoke disa-
greement and at its close the tenant
seeks pastures new. Many things
lead to differences. The contract may
be verbal and although fully discussed
when made. memory is treacherous
and landlord and tenant soon find
themselves at variance. II the con-
tract is written it is generally so loose
that portions may be subject to di-
verse Interpretation. II he so chooses
the tenant can usually obey the letter
of the contract and not do the business
half as well as was intended and as it
should be done. For instance. he has
the right to frewood; if the kind be
not specified he can cut the most val
liable timber in the woods, and he
often does it Fields can be slackly
cultivated. stock improperly fed and
cared for, economy not used in saving
manure. and more than thousand
similar things can be mismanaged and
not violate the average contract. Each
Of itself may be Of not much import
ance. but in the aggregate they are
sufficient to swamp the business for
the whole year. The landlord is often
unreasonable, officious and arrogant
which is always discouraging to the
tenant; and it is the tenants interest
-or he thinks it is-to get all he can
of the farm and return a. little a. pos
sible IN the way Of labor. repairs, etc,
hence under short-term leases farms
always run down. Teuant-farming
will never be mutual success until
the interests Of both parties arc made
to run in the Same channel by long
leases. Gales WSlsoA - N r ztil

FOOD IN SUMMER.

How Most People Worry Their Digestive
Organs In Hot Weather.
Many of US eat too much. We envy
the people who have large appetites,
but they are mistaken objects of envy.
They are the happier individuals whose
desires call for plain food and a little
of it. Had / my own way would cut
up almost all the cookbooks. light the
fire with the pages that give recipes
for all manner Of rich repasts. and re-
duce the culinary department to the
utmost possible simplicity. 1 would
send the frying-pan to the parlor as an
ornament.
Growth and waste and repair 60 on
in nearly uniform way the whole
year through. but the amount of food
necessary for these operations Of pur-
poses is surprisingly small. The gen.
Grafton Of bodily heat requires most
variable quantity Of food. In winter,
with the temperature of the external
air at zero. the temperature of the
blood in healthy persons is $3.50;
and when the heat of summer
drives the mercury of the thermom-
eter near to or above that mark.
the blood still registers $3.50. Tho
marvellous mechanism by which this
uniform blood temperature is main-
tanned at all seasons it is not necessary
to consider, but it must be evident to
every one that the force needed to
raise the temperature Of the whole
body to nearly one hundred degrees in
winter is No longer needed in summer.
The total amount of food needed for
repair. for growth and for heating.
physiology teaches Us. 10 much less
than is generally imagined. and it inn
presses Us with the truth of the great
surgeon Abernethy's saying. that
''one-fourth of what we eat keeps us.
the other three-fourths we keep at the
peril of our lives" In winter we burn
mp the surplus food with . limited
amount of extra exertion. In summer
we get rid of it literally at some extra
risk to health and. Of course. to life.
We can not burn it Our vital fur.
naces arc banked, and we worry tho
most important working organs with
the extra exertion Of removing what

A RHYME FOR A RAINY DAY.

With pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
On my window pane,
Tapped clipper little visitors,
The tiny drops Of rain;
They did not ask to enter.
But in liquid tones / heard
This story, which, as told to me,
1 tell you word for word:
"Within a COOL deep well we lived,
Quite happy, side by side,
Until an empty bucket came,
And asked US out to ride;
Then springing in, away we went
Drawn up into the air,
And pretty china pitcher
Stood waiting for us there.
Z" Beneath that pitchers brim we thought
Much happiness to see;
But soon lump Of ice popped in,
With whom we can't agree;
For though Ice claimed relationship
Before it married Frost
With such hard, cold-hearted thing
All sympathy is lost.
:" Ice tried to steal our heat away,
But AIR was on our side,
And when it felt how cold we were,
1t Just sat down and cried;
on HlguI nave Stcu the tcdTS upCu
The pitcher where they pressed,
Till Ice itself was forced to melt,
And mingle with the rest.
- But next day l have to tell you
or most amazing thing
Above a blazing fire
We were made to sit and sing.
Till Bubbles brought the message up,
That Heat would set US free;
When, boiling hard, we just steamed on,
And gained our liberty.
ave bounded OF with motion swift,
But met colder wind,
Which blew SO fast that every thing
Grew cloudy to our mind.
We cared not to go higher then,
We felt a heavy chill,
And down we came quite suddenly
Upon your window-sill."
Now, little people, everywhere,
There is saying old
That Truth lies at the bottom
OF the WE'LL" and, We make bold
To say: Within this bucketful
OF water you may and
Some grains of truth drawn up to store
Within each busy mind.

One morning he quietly opened his

EHE APPOINTMENT OF COZ
KcENERI.

The Democrat regards with un.
figned pleasure the appointment by
Gov. Nichols OF tx.Gov. McEnery to
the high and honorable position of
associate justice of the Supreme
Court. II Vas ono of the first, if no,
first, paper in the State that sugges-
..d the appointment. His term OF
tfice is for twelve years, and in 1892
he will become, hy tie expiration OF
Judge Berlpudez's term, chief Justice
OF the highest court in the State.
Gov. Nichols said that he would
labor to unite the factions within the
Democratic party. and the people OF
Louisiana believed him. No act OF
lis could have been more graceful.
or have tended more 10 the accom-
pllsLmert OF his purpose than the
appointment OF his late opponent in
the gubernatorial contest. Such a
course is not only magnanimous but

(From Shreveport Democracy


Our bright contemporary, the West
Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, lays
down several of the most important
measures for consideration by the
General assembly. Some of them we
consider good, but there are others
that should not in our opinion, become
laws. 1t ennMerates them as fol-
lows:
"l. The creation of railroad CON-
mission to prevent discrimination by
railroads in tho matter of freight and
passenger rates between certain points.
%. To re-cstablish the beneficiary
cadet system at the Louisiana State
University, providing for the appoint
meut of seventy-five beneficiary ca
diets, or one from each parish, and
seventeen from tho city of New Or
leans.
."3. The introduction of an amend
ment to the States Constitution Con
which the people shall vote at the
next general election) abolishing the
circuit Judge sys,em-that worse than
useless lifth wheel TO our judiciary
which entails an annual expense to
the State of $40, eco or $4,000.
a. The enactment Of law giving
magistrates Justice Of the peace final
jurisdiction over petty cases.
as. Abolition Of the useless and
silly law requiring sheriff sales ii. O.,
seizurcs) to be made on the first or
third Saturday Of the month.
"The adoption of these and other
measures, which we will not here
enuuerate, and the repeal of a nun Der
OF evi! laws, are urgently required and
should receive The earnest attention
ard consideration of every legislator
who has at heart the welfare of bis
State"
The 81 clause in the above meets
with our hearty approval.
To the above should be added the
re-establishment of the tax collectors,
and also recorders Offices.
