through The GAZETTE, what know to be a
sure remedy for the bite of all poisonous
reptiles. Make a solution by adding to

no harm will result. The same solution is
also good for the sting of ants, or sting or
bite of other insects. d. S. CoRLEYE.

Hartshorn is pretty generally regarded
as good remedy for the sting of an insect.

could add to its efficiency, and we think

EVEN IN HUMID LOUISIANA.

Last week we published some points
made by Mr. j. Y Gilmore in paper read
before tho Audubon agricultural society of
Louisiana, setting forth the existing need
uf general irrigation, even in that state of
unusually heavy rainfall. We nov have
before us paper on the same subject read
before the same society June II, by Mr.. Gus

that i telling interest with reference to the
Importance of irrigation is springing up

We are not informed as to the Kansas

all about how the people made If then and

Open ripe melons and scoop out the inter-
ior, discarding the rind as unsuited for use.
Place in an open vat or barrel and crush
finely by chopping with spade, or by some
other means Let stand twelve hours,
when strain or press out the juice. Place

to the top. Transfer from the kettles to

packing rim, and since corn was the only
hog food crop that could be raised, then
hogs and corn became inseparable in tine
minds of the people.
Modern science has entirely cast that
notion to the winds, however. Railroads
now take herd of hogs further in one day
than they could have been taken in one
month thirty years ago. And modern sci
ence has not stopped at this accomplish
mcnt. 1t is now as easy matter to pack
pork at Fort Worth, Tex, as it is to pack
it at either Chicago, H., or Cincinnati,
Ohio. And the thing does not stop even at
this; the season of the year cuts no kind Of
figure in the case. Midsummer is as good
time for packing as is any other season.
At any time when the hog is made ready
the packery is ready to convert it into the
usual hog articles of commerce.
Experience has clearly shown that corn
is by no means the best food for the hog. A
little corn fed at the time of finishing it up
for the packery may be all well enough, but
there are many other crops easily raised in
Texas, but which cannot be raised at all in
the Northern '!corn belt" that will develop
the hog far better than corn. Sweet pota-
toes may be mentioned as one of these,
though there are others of equal lm-
portance. Under correct management we
can raise 400 bushels of sweet pota-
toes to the acre in Texas, and
at less cost than would be in
volved in producing an acre of corn. 1t has
been well settled that two bushels of sweet
potatoes will go fully as far as a hog feed,
in every respect, as would one bushel of
corn. The average yield of corn in the So
called corn belt is about seventeen bushels
to the acre. Put our average yield of
sweet potatoes, say at 200 bushels to the
acre, and then figure on where lies the ad-
vantage so far as relates to pork produc-
ton. Two hundred bushels of sweet pota-
toes would equal 100 bushels of corn. Thus,
as you see, we have a pork-producing crop
fully the equivalent of 100 bushels of corn
TO the acre, on an average, against the
average of seventeen bushels of corn to the
acre in the corn belt
1t scarcely needs a prophet 10 tell even
the duilest among US what all this must
speedily lead to. The ''corn belt may re-
main in the far Northern states, if they
prefer to call it by that name, but the hog
belt must move away from the ''corn belt
Here there is nothing whatever against hog
production. Our climate is exactly suited
TO the animals needs. There are no cold
winters to drag it through by resort to
heavy feelings. Nature here supplies the
needed heat to keep it going through the
winter months-there that heat must be
kept up by stuffing it with corn. IF
sharply limned outlook of the times means
anything, one cannot do otherwise than ar
rive at the conclusion that when another
decade Of years have rolled past all the
pork of commerce will be going north in
stead of coming south as at present The
people of the ''corn belt,'' such of them as
do not pull up stakes and follow the hog,

their best energies to the production of
