Weather Crop Bulletin.

The Louisiana weather service, in
cooperation with the United States
signal service, for the week ending
Saturday, August 81, 1889.
The weather conditions during
past seven days were generally
favorable to all crops, to cotton
picking, and rice cutting. 4 few
heavy showers arc reported, but
generally there was a deficiency in
the rainfall OF all sections, notably
in BienvilIe parish where the lack
of rain is assuming the form Of a
drought and where rain is badly
needed. Some few correspondents
in the Southern section report that
rain would be beneficial to crops in
their respective localities. There
was an average fall of two tenths
of an inch in the northern portion Of
the State and eight tenths Of an
inch in the Southern portion. 4
daily deficiency of three degrees is
noted in the temperature of the
northern parishes and one degree in
the Southern parishes. The amonnt
of sunshine received was generally
in excess Of an average amount, and
was modified by the deficiency in
the temperature.
Reports received indicate that
present prospects for cotton continue
favorable in Louisiana. The poison
ing is a success in the majority Of
parishes and excepting in a few
sections in tho northern portion Of
the State (Expcriment Station at
Calhoun and liberty Hid where it
is reported that boil and cotton
worms r doing marked damage.
the damage from the pest is reported
al slight. From VIM parish it is
reported that unless the work of
poisoning is pushed forward rapidly
that Is days will see the cotton
eaten up. The cane crop of this
parish is more promising then it
has been for several seasons. Sue.
cessful poisoning is also reported
from Rapides and Avoyelles. In the
former parish fears are entertained
from the late army worms. The
present estimate Of the cetton crop
of this parish is that it will be
slightly below that Of last year.
The customary favorable reports
are received from the Florida
parishes; no damage from worms is
reported through they are a reality
there as elsewhere.
All crops are reported in excel.
lent condition in Southern and
Southwestern parishes. Cotton is
being picked in the latter section,
and rice cutting and some threshing
are reported. The rice and cane
crops are promising.

The Lafayette prisoners attempt.
ed to travel on the west bound Nor.
gan train, on the 9Th inst, on a com
mutation ticket of Sheriff Broussard.
The road officers declined to let
them do so.
They resisted enrichment, but the
conductor finally succeeded in get

into another. The railroad has a
right to prevent any one from travel

the party in whose name it is issued.
Had the officials been killed in their
attempt to eject the prisoners, while
doing so in a lawful manner, the
killing would have been murder
The converse is also true. Had the
officials killed the prisoners under
the same circumstances, the killed

excusable.-St. Mary Herald.

A PRETTY rack for newspapers and

worth knowing of. A handsome and
ornamental rack to suspend from the
wall is made Of three stiff boards cover
ed with velvet in the new shade of hello

with gold lace.
for church decoration has been made
by a leading. member Of society. The
idea is to keep entirely to one class OF
flowers. Take the lily as the most
lovely and appropriate Of all blossoms.
On the altar the rarest blossoms will
find a resting place. The lovely euch-
artist on its long stem, with the stately
arum towering above it; the delicate,
fragrant pancratium, with its long, fine
petals, that give . lightness and airi.
ness to any arrangement in which II
bears . part; the flium eximium and
the lilium Harrisii 1.-THE Easter lily OF
Bermuda) will blend into one glorious
ly beautiful scheme, indispensable for
purity and elegance. Arums and palms
will be massed in groups at both ends
of the altar.
The sweet bells of the Iilies-of-the-
valley, intermingled with their own
Gear, pale green leaves, will crown the
altar rails, and, trailing down to the
floor, long sprays of ivy will form 9
rich green fringe in happy contrast to
the snowy Wilderness beyond. On either
side Of the gateway will stand two hand.
some tall palms.
The pulpit will be ornamented with @
border of lilies round the top, edged
with a fringe of ivy. On the center
panel the symbolical lamb will be
wrought out in moss studded with Lilies,
and the two side panels will bear de.
signs, Of palm leaves, also carried out
in lilies. Similar devices will bring the
lectern into touch with its surround.
ings, and the window stills will be trans
formed into banks of growing lilies-of.
~the-valley.
The arrangement Of the font must
depend to SO great an extent on it,
structural proportions that we can only
leave to the decorators to decide what
form the ornamentation shall take, the
reminder that this should correspond
with the rest, and Thus aid the compile.
ton of the general scheme.
There is nothing original in the ides
of mixed white flowers for church dec.
Grafton, but we may call attention to
the exquisite effect that can be secured
by the combination of azaleas and by
acinths. The azalea is such q SNOWY
flower; n full spray is q host in itself,
a feature that makes it well beloved by
decorators.

FERTILIzE THE ORCHARD.-1n adj
vocating the maintenance of the fertil-
ity of the orchard, DR.. Haskins, of Ver-
mont says he has never yet seen an or
chard too rich for profit, nor one upon
which the last loads of manure did not
pay the most profit. lie adds that the
most profitable orchard of the Williams
Favorite apple in the vicinity Of Bos-
ton is kept ''as rich as a %barnyard. "
The fruit is double what might be
called the normal size of the variety;
every apple is handled like an egg, and
marketed at its point of perfection.
This orchard is very profitable, though
small. An orchard that would rival
this is in the city of Montreal, contain
ing tbirty-six Fameuse trees, the fruit
from which was sold, u~ngathered, one
season, for So 0. The trees were very
large and perfectly healthy, and had
all to themselves, almost an acre of rich
land.

How TO Make CLOVER SILAGE.-
This business is now, or soon will be,
in order, and here is a point from a
practical man worth needing. A far
mer with considerable experience, who
has sliced clover for several years, says
if it should be left to wilt on the ground
for Two hours after cutting, and each
days Il ling of the silo be allowed to
heat before the fresh clover is added,
and the sides, not the centre, kept
thoroughly tramped, the clover will
come out moist and green, and the
cattle will relish it as thoroughly as
summer pasture.
