The Month Of August.

This is the. great month for sowing
Turnip and Ruta Baga seeds, and too
much attention cannot be bestowed up
on the Importance of this crop. It is
invaluable. supplying nutritious food
for both man and beast, during the Fall
and Winter months, with little or no
care, after once preparing the ground
and sowing the seed. But an impor-
tant feature is to secure pure seed,
as the market has been flooded the
past two or three years with a very
inferior quality of Turnip seed, pro-
duced without the expensive process
of transplanting and selecting the
roots. Seed grown in this manner pro-
duces knotty and degenerated bulbs,
having a d~isagreeable, strong flavor.
To guard against any such disoppoint-
ment, purchase your seed at Thibo-
deaux Pharmacy, just received from
Baist, who is the largest and most
successful Turnip-seed grower in this
country (who grows every grain OF
seed from transplanted and selected
roots on his farms near Philadelphia),
and you will grow roots of unsurpass-
ed quality.

The Improvement Of Bayou Lafourche.

We learn with regret that the Uni
ted States will be able to do very little
in the way Of improving bayou Lafour-
che this summer. And let us say, pa
renthetically, that the case of bayou
LafOurche illustrates the necessity of
making provision, we'll in advance, for
any public work, as. even when an
appropriation is made, it is some time
before it can be fully utilized.
We have already detailed at length
the needs of the bayou. That stream.
the only remaining branch or outlet of
the Mississippi, has latterly shoaled so
in places as to become unnavigable
even for f1atboats. The banks of the
bayou are thickly populated and high
ly productive +; the only route to a
ket for the greater portion of the coun-
try is the bayou itself. When, there
fore, it became unnavigable, the peo-
pie We're shut Off from all markets.
They subscribed literally themselves
for the Improvement Of the bayou, but
the undertaking was beyond their
means, and they finally appealed to
Congress, where an appropriation of
9co'ooo "dS lIduC uy tIIc IlVcIS iuu
harbOrs committee-enough to begin
the work, but not to complete it.
This was cut down to 325, 900 by the
Senate, on a prejudiced showing of the
matter by the New York press, but
the $4,000 was reinstated by the
House.
1t was hoped that the engineers
could get at work on the bayou as soon
as the appropriation became available,
and we, therefore, hear with regret
that this is impossible, as a suitable
dredgeboat cannot be hired or procur-
ed, and we must wait to have one
built. Such delays are almost always
inevitable under the system in which
the government doles out money for
public improvements. We hope the
people living on the Lafourche will
not be subjected to many other delays.
Theirs is a case deserving Immediate
attention. They need the use Of the
bayou for the shipment of their crops
to market +; they have no other way to
export them, and every month during
which the deepening Of the stream and
the removal of the bars in it are post
Poned, intficts positive injury upon
them.-Iimes- Democrat.
