Time to Immigrate.
October, November, December, January,
February and March, are the best months for
farmers to move south. This allows time to
make the necessary preparations for spring.
The farmer becomes somewhat acclimated
before the heat of summer.
A good crop of sweet potatoes, cow peas,
millet and vegetables may be made the first
season. Hay can be made in any quantity
and find ready market, netting the farmer
eight dollars per ton upon an average. Cows
can be purchased and milk sold at ten cents
per quart, where p %arties are located near Il
town.
Butter usually brings from 35 to 40 cents
per pound-winter dairying would be a good
business.
Eggs average fifteen cents per doz Simply
because there are not enough small farmers in
the south.
The winter is just the time to produce eggs,
Car loads should be shipped north in Febrn-
airy.

The best element from the north is coming

Some people think that this is the
only country that elects Q president by
a popular vote and INDUCES in brass

other such luxuries. But such is not
the case. There are several Republics
on the American continent that indulge
in that ksnd of sport, and this year
elections are to be held in Colombia,
Ecuador and Bolivia. The candidate

State immigration Association.

IN. o. Times Democrat.
The State immigration Association,
whose headquarters is established at
l59 Common street, is making the most
energetic efforts to promote the object
for which it was founded. Circulars
have just been issued calling upon all
residents of Louisiana who desire to
aid in the development of the State to
support the movement in favor of i'm
migration, which has already met with
no small measure of success. 1t is sug-
gested by the officers of the association
that every citizen can help in this mat
ter, by inclosing to his correspondents
all over the Union copies of these
circulars, which Will be furnished to
him on application to the immigration
Bureau at the address already men,
toned.
Hundreds of Northern investors"
says the circular, apply at the Office of
the association, and desire to see lists
of lands, prices, etc.
In order to facilitate the movement,
and to give them ample opportunity
to select from every parish in the State,
we earnestly request every lapdholder
in the State to at once forward to this
Office a description of the land they
have for sale, with it's price per acre,
its character of soil, how many cleared
acres the land contains, and how much
and what kind of timber is on it, the
kind of agricultural productions that
flourish there, or if it is better suited
to stock raising, and how it is watered,
whether it is high and dry, or subject
to overflow, and what kind of improve
ments are ON it.
Information is further solicited in
regard to churches and schools in the
neighborhood of the land, and as to it's
proximity to a town, railroad, or river.
Details regarding the fencing of the
land, assessment or it, and other points
OF interest to purchasers are also re-,
quested and if maps or plans can be4
furnished, these will be filed with the
rest of the information at the office of
the association.
The association makes no charges
for what it does, its services being Civ
en- gratuitously to the land owner wish
ing to dispose of q portion of his pro-
perty on the one hand, and to the in
weston or immigrant in search of a home
the other.
The advantages afforded to both par
ties by the establishment of the bureau
need pointing out. Those who
wish to sell land will be brought, free
of charge, into communication with
those who wish to buy, and the latter
will have the opportunity of studying
at the Office of the association the lands
for sale in different PORTIONS of
the State and of deciding in what
quarter they would prefer to invest
their money. j
It may be fairly hoped that the Be-
adjustment of an Immigration Bureau,
on such public spirited prin-
will be attended by the best re-
sults, and that all that Louisiana needs
% place her in the front rank RI pro-
yress and prosperity-a sufficient po-
oulation to develop her resonrces-will
