Deeply Disguised.

A celebrated artist somewhat addicted
to ioviality was painting the portrait OF
a great teetotal divine. His reverence
thought this an excellent opportunity
while sitting to the artist, to give little
homily on total abstinence, and so. all
the time the painter was working, he
delivered his harangue, which he thought
exceedingly impressive and must have
both convinced and converted the artist.
He paused to hear what the artist had
to say in return, when that parsonage
with the utmost sang froid, smoking his
pipe all the time, said:

Successful Planting.

A good experiment was made in
timber planting by B. Hathaway of
Michigan, which he reported in the
Prairie Farmer He set $50 trees,
alternating with sugar maple and
white pine, one rod apart, along the
roadside. They were placed on the
west or windward side OF his culti-
waited farm They have served as a
windbreak for twenty years. Re has
also set line entirely of naples,
which he procured from a natural
growth some miles away. The maple
being an easy tree to transplant, very
few were lost. From these naples
he has made syrup and sugar for ten
years without harm TO the trees.
This reminds u.s. of q plan partly car
RED out by another person. The
public road passes through his farm
with a slight and uniform ascent.
Planting line OF sugar maple trees
ten feet apart along the border Of the
road he proposes to- tap them for sap
as soon as they are old enough and to-
connect Them all by small wooden
or tin trough extending from tree to
tree, and thus; collect the sap frOm
the whole in these successive troughs
at the bottom of the descent into d
suitable evaporating pany where the
pure sap can be evaDOrated into white
and crystalline sugar.-Country Cen

I'M MIGRATION.

It is to be hoped that Gov. Eos
Ser will name an active, competent
man for Commissioner of Immi-
grafton. For the past four years
tais subject has received little at
tention from the officer who is sup
posed to take a very active inter
est in it, and endeavor to create a
corresponding participation by the
citizens of our State.
In North Louisiana it is not
generally known that there is such
~sa officer appointed by each State
administration, as Commissioner
d Immigration. This is a sad re-
aection on the gentleman who held
Il by the grace of our retiring ex-
ecutive, but it is the appointee's
&ault solely that it is SO. Had he

Esasiness which it seems to US he

would, in our opinion, be now in a

The LEVEE SYSTEM.

In view Of the disasters of 1896
and '92 by overflow, is it not fact
that the levee system in relation to
the Red River Valley at least, is 6
failurel Have not the levees done
more harm than good to that por-
ton which lies in the limits OF
This valley? To our mind, they
have. The PRoGREss believes that
the damage from water during
both of these overflow periods
would have been less if there had
been no levying at all. Without
these entertainments the overflow
ing would have been more gradual,
thus robbing the water OF that
fury and power which it possesses
when enclosed in a four or five
foot embankment above the sur
face of the fields, oyer which it
sweeps with relentless fury
and devastation when the
lsyee does give way. To our mind
Tie creation of outlets for this i'm
mense volume of water which
sweeps down the valley every
spring, is the only avenue of as
cape from its ruilous invasions.
We know that our country, to a
great extent, is welded to the levee
system, but from the light before
us 1t does appear that this is but
delusion, a creation of the fancy
only, which crumbles and falls
nto dust when confronted by re-
atty. If we are not mistaken q
vast amount of levying has been
done IN the past decade, and we
shInk history will reveal that the
food disasters of 80 and '92 are
due to this. As before stated, if
we bad no levees we believe that
Che overflow would be attended
r1th less damage than now, from
She fact that the water would be
robbed OF that force which, under
thO leyee system, it acquires by be-
ing hemmed in by the several feet
of embankment. Tut given SUI
Gcient number of outlets, there
