Farming That Pays.

Under the above head it is Gus
tomary for rural, as well as city
editors, who don't know anything
about farming, to give farmers q
regular annual lecture, and in this
article we propose to follow in the
usual train, at the risk of repeat
ing an oft-told story.
The rapid taking up of home
steads, and the steady filing up of
all departments of rural industry
throughout Louisiana has insti-
tuted close competition, and in
troduced methods of cultivation to
which many of our farmers are
strangers. The production of the
best in every line is becoming the
rule now among all intelligent,
thrifty agriculturists. The old
standing complaint that farming
does not pay has played out, and
been proved to be totally untrue.
The fact has been demonstrated
beyond contradiction that no man
can make money by planting all
cotton and buying his provisions,
while on the other hand it has been
equally clearly demonstrated that
no man who attends to his farm
properly-raises his own meat and
bread and diversiies his crops
fails to make money and be indie
pendent. Shadowy pony horses,
and COWS that yield only two OF
three pounds of butter week. are
found to be improbable, and Is to
Is barrels of corn to the acre is Q
sham and a shame among progress
sive farmers. The successful farmer
finds the use of fertilizers necessary
but he invariably gives preference
) to home or farm manure over com
mercial fertilizers, finding it no
only the cheapest but decidedly
the best. He may occasionally in
vest a few dollars in phosphate
and guano, when the home suppl.
| is limited, bat even then it is mixes
with farm materials to increase it
quantity and quality and secur
. the best results. He believes u
diversified crops, and never plant
the same crop on his land tw
years in succession. He not onl
makes good crops by this process
.. but his farm increases In valu
, every year.
Our farmers must be alive to tn
methods of the day, or they AZ
bound to prove failures. Louisian
: has the most fertile lands, the MOI
even temperature and the mos
healthy climate Of any State In To
Union, but her farms are the shal

The McKanlass Company.

The entertainment given by the
McKanlass Colored Speciality company
last Tuesday evening, was far beyond
the expectation of the audience. Prof.
McKanlass has few equals as musician
he plays on large number of instru-
ments and handles them all with skill.
The fete of playing on two separate cor
nets, with separate mouth pieces, at the
same time, is almost increditable until
YOU see him do it. Little Willie and
Adilena never fail to capture the house.
Pullman has the reputation of being
hard to please in the line of entertain
ments, but the applause and encores on
Tuesday evening evidenced the fact that
all were well pleased. Should this COM
pauy visit us again, we bespeak for
them good audience.

A Trip To The Sound.

by heV Il. 4. W. Hill.
Editor HERALD,
Your request for brief account Of a
recent trip to the Sound is complied
with as best may. On the morning of
June Goth I took the train for Ellens-
burg via Marshall Junction rejoicing
with others that the rain had come.
Met an unexpected and annoying delay
of about five hours on the main line, be-
tween Marshall and Cheney, which pre-
vented an appreciative view of what ap-
pears from the line of the railway to be
very desolate country, nearly the en-
tire distance from Sprague to ElIensburg.
Did not reach Ellensburg until about
4 o'clock next morning, in good time for
breakfast at 1.-THE ASHER" but scarcely
in a wakeful condition. Soon became
acquainted with various members of the
Congregational Association of Churches
for Washington territory, then and there
assembled. Was favorably impressed
with the young city and its people, OBJ
serving many things worthy of note, and
as such of decided interest to me- Saw
many evidences of thrift and enterprise,
brick blocks, some finished and occupied,
some in process of erection, others Just
begun, and many fine residences indeed
The city is pleasantly located on level
plain, contiguous to the Yakima river, a
short distance east of the Cascades,
hence has insufficient rainfall, but is
efecting quite complete system Of
irrigation. Large streams are running
in various directions through the city,
other smaller streams form boundaries
of lots and premises, while numberless
rills dividing and subdividing these IN
til soil, heretofore growing only patch
es of sage brush, is made to bloom and
blossom as the rose. The writer's lodg.
ing place was an interesting spot, neal
by ripping stream which sung lula
by at night and awakened the memory
of boyhood days. The people of Ellens-
burg showed the members of the associ-
alton a very gracious hospitality
Mayor Abrams house was opened the
evening of the 21st to very large re-
ception, and through the especial kind
ness of real estate firm a free drive, or
ride, round and about the city was given
to all. The association closed Sunday
evening, June 23rd, and at midnight am
again on the wing, bound westward and
over the Cascade Range to view the
waters of the Sound and of the " salt,
salt sea-" Darkness prevents sight-see-
ing, but as the famous Stampede tunnel
is reached everybody is awakened by the
flashing of its $50 electric lights, and

From Ontario.

Hay harvest has commenced.
Dan Rogers is visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
Tom Duff.
George Madley has returned from his
visit to Lewiston.
Fred Shaw brings the mails once a
week from Wawawai to Ontario.
Mrs. Rice, of Genesee, is visiting her
brother aud sister, Mr.. Myers and Mrs.
Capt, Clark.
The Ferry at Wawawai is not running
now. This fact should have been made
before as a great many teams 60 down
there to cross and have to come back to
Almota.
Every one from hereabouts who at
tended the celebration at Pullman, are
well pleased and speak highly of the
treatment received from the people OF
Pullman. OBSERVER.

when the steep down grade is com
menced, daylight comes slowly on and
immense forests Of spruce, fir and cedar
are on every hand. Some one remarks
that the " train is going fast-5O-miles
an hour perhaps. We think SO as the
iron horse flies down this narrow, tree
defile, left curve, right curve, compound
curve, all with the same dangerous
rapidity. Following mountain stream,
valleys, very small farms, hop vines,
Puyallup, larger patches cleared, more
hop vines, more thrift and enterprise, on
the right the ice clad peak of the mighty
Rainier extending into the clouds for
nearly $4,000 feet, are seen for the first
time, SO this early morn of interest I'M
surpassed goes on until we arrive at
Tacoma, famous as the city of "stumps
and enterprise" A Sound steamer is
just ready to start and going aboard are
soon speeding over the waves of Puget
sound on one of the o. R. & N. steamers.
This ride of 25 or 80 miles over this
land locked sea on bright June morn
ing presents a scene OF wonderous inter
est, especially to one who may never
have beheld the like before. Some one
has said that here about this Mediter-
ranean sea of America is the final west
ward halt for the ever ceaseless tide of
capital, enterprise and population. 1t
would seem so. Ny pen would tire in
describing such wonderful landscape
as the view from steamer presents.
Some distance away the city of Seattle
can be seen and the recent work of the
fire-fiend observed, especially varied by
the many white tents erected since the
fire. My stay in the city was very
short. Landing, took ride ON the
cable cars, made the acquaintance of a
shoemaker because Of pressing need,
looked-up and had pleasant, social chat
with afriend formerly from Dakota, and
in the afternoon suddenly concluded to
return to Tacoma.
