Farm Hints. II. 4

TO no class does the future hold
out more allurlng promises than
to the farmer Of North Louisiana
Heretofore the present, though IN
the midst of vast fields of cotton
fully ripe unto the harvest, and
with favorable weather indications
for gathering the staple. always
bore a gloomy outlook toward the
future on account Of the low price
Of the product. In fact, there was
neither a satisfactory local market
for cotton. or any other field prod
nee. This dearth was due to the
lack OF factories which would Gre
ate a demand for It. But a change
has been wrought within the past
month in the city of Shreveport
This is i'm the form Of a vast corn
meal mill. which will consume all
the corn that can be raised within
the boundaries described, and per
haps more. 1t will likewise fur
nish remuneratiye prices for th'
produce. There Is no longer an,
excuse for the dread Apprehension
that large crop Of com viii fine

I Elevator company will stand IA
towering champion of the pro
ducer and encourage HIM to b
not dismayed, but to plant cor
for this home market. and to re
cpivp therefor q substantial CON
petence for his industry.
We would advise our planter
to enter into negotiations with tn
managers of this corporation an

The Russian Famine.

The Christian Herald has pic
tured scenes Of such deplorable
misery among the Russian peas
ants during this great famine,
that | thought | would represent
one Of them to my readers, and en-
list their sympathies and and. /
imsyine a little hovel with the in
mates all crouching on the floor,
the furniture having been broken
up for fire wood, and portions of
the thatched roof removed to feed
the starving cattle.
A little babe is cliDging to the
breast of poor, emaclated mother,
who has not tasted bread for days,
while other little children, almost
skeletons, are holding to her gown
begging for bread. None but a
mother can imagine the anguish
of this poor woman's heart, as she
hears the beseeching cries of her
little ones. The husband and ia
ther of this group lies in a corner
in squalid misery, dying. Being
the stronger, he refused al food
and let the others have It, until
now he will soon be beyond the
reach Of human aid.
When we assemble at our family
board with a warm, substantial
meal before us, and our little ones
around us, happy and comfortable,
let us think for a moment OF all
this destitution and misery, and J
am sure there are few who will
not respond to alleviate it.
