The basest fraud on earth is agriculture

CANNED PEAS,

To make assurance doubly sure in the
case of peas, canned in approved brands,
always empty out The liquor that is in the
can and turn the peas out in a colander,
letting a stream of fresh water from the
hydrant run over them for five minutes.
Then let them air in that colander. for an
hour or two, shaking them occasionally,
so as to present fresh surfaces to the air.
Do this with all canned vegetables. Never
let them lie in their liquor, and never use
the liquor with canned corn, chop the
grains, which process gives a more diges-
tibIe as well as more delicate dish.

Central Reaneries.

- Z
Much has been said and written
il The last few years concerning
Central R%eineriea, but little was
known then Of sueh industries, but
experience has taught Us that Re
fneries are not all we went. as a
Refinery not equipped with latest
improved machinery and conducted
by strictly business men would he
of little If any benefit to any section;
and planters before offering lots and
inducements for the establishment of
such industries, should inform them
selves thoroughly Of what kind of
Refinery will be organized and in
whose hands will the management
be placed. as upon this depends the
success Of the industry and the
interest Of the small sugar cultiva-
tors
We have here in this parish, a
fair illustration Of what we advance
in the foregoing, which will be Of
interest to many, to learn Of the
difference that exist between Re-
fneries. The st. john plantation
belonging TO !. B. Levert, which is
setuated at three miles north OF
this place, on the east bank Of the
Teche, having railroad to connect
with the prairie section Of Catalonia
beautifully located, pays $3.50 per
ton for cane, while the Keystone
plantation, under the management
Of Mr.. John Peters is paying $500
per ton for any amount of cane
brought to his Refinery differ
ence in price Of $l.2O per ton.
Laurent M~alveaux, a colored MAJ
who lives near Keystone plantation
!, sold to that palce three acres of cane
which average . tons 10 the acre
which brought him the handsome
sum Of one hundred dollars an acre
or three hundred dollars for thret
acres. If this cane was sold to tht
st. John plantation it would only
bring to the seller $40, he woulG
incur a loss of 500 on the thret
acres or $50 on n acre, which il
an immense difference.
This difference in tie price of the
cane is due, we presume. to the
machinery which must exact more
f sugar on one place than on ths
| other and the proprietor of the st
| John would not be justified to pa
the same price for the cane unles
$ he could exact as much sugar as thu
Keystone but this shows that th,
I machinery Of the ST. John is not a
advantageous as that of the Key
3 stone, and the loss Of difference i,
the price caused by imperfect o
. unimproved machinery is an item
that needs serious consideration, b.
