The CIories OF Saccarap,.

The dropping Of the last syllable from the
name I'll Saccarappa was oitrnrst THE man
ner Of speaking of that busy village at the
time OF the poetic effusion from the spirit of
the team boss. The reason of the now numer-
Gus versions of the two last lines Of the la
ment suppose was its failure to find a
place In any standard collection of poetry Of
the time; The seemingly dying declaration
Of The Hoss has made thesname and location
Of Saecarappa known the world over wher-
ever Yankee sailor goes 30 shipmasters
and mates have told ne 60 years ago, and
yet am tod that there are uneasy people
IN that place who do not rest quietly under
this well-known name aud seek change.
They probably expect that by change of
name they would obliterate the remembrance
o., Its vices and retain that of its virtues.
The mention OF the name Saccarappa does
cause an indistinct hum in the ears like
rushing waterfalls, busy mil-wheels, and
the ciank of machinery wherever we are
The lament of the boss is not the first nstance
In which Saccarappa has been celebrated in
verse for its industries.

LAYING BY.

From oil parts of:the sugar Sec

and there some one seems to be
putting in . few more furrovs.
which We pursume. they do not
count.
We should like to learn then just
what does count. Mr.. Duncan +.
Kenner used to say that he knew
Of no time to lay by cane except
when it wss large enough to shade
the ground. by which time it sbonld
have high enough ridge and deep
enough water furrOw.
Mr.. q E ellis. whose success at
POydras has made him quite an
authority in cane culture. seems ~
urge that when cane l,ss . high
enough ridge and deep water fur
row that it Is laid by. even should
it get grassy later ON. aud in that
event it 10 proper 10 put in few

it is 30 big that it cant he plough
ed any longer without breaking
DOWN the canes. and that - bring
about this condition ct an early
date is the aim Of modern advanced
cultivation.
In Louisiana cane culture there
seems to be some dssiderata that
should always be kept in view.
Our season is comparatively short
and full maturity Of our csns crops
of difficult sttainment. Every
ploughing to any depth cuts the
roots Of the cane. and after slight.
" stunting the plant, the latter then
sets up moro active growth. and
il cultivation 10 continued n Q

AZ ripe cares are what We Ill

developed the common belief that
