ENDED by THE STORM.
In thunder, lightning and in rain the clements
met yesterday in carnival of destruction.
heavy rainstorm, accompanied by thunder ana
lightning, descended upon the city in the after
noon and left in it's trail roofess buildings, dam
aged piers, devastated parks and burning ware
houses. An immense warehouse filed with thou
sands Of bales of cotton was struck by lightning
and the occupants of several buildings in Broad
foundations Of Castle Garden were shaken, and
the roof of the old structure was broken by the
fall of scaffolding and bricks, which were hurled
down upon it by the stroke of the lightning
The electric flames hOvered about the spars OF
vessels, and brilliant flashes of lightning darted
across the darkencd sky On the ferryb0ats
which were in the stream when the storm was at
its height, there was almost a panic, and on
several of the trains of the elevated railway
women screamed and hid their faces from the
binding glare of the lightning.
The day had been intensely hot and sultry and
the air was sitting and humid When the first
few drops OF rain began to fall at :0s p. m. IL
looked as if brief shower had come to cool the air.
The shower became rain and the rain became
a Thunderstorm The water seemed to fall in
sheets the cutters and sewers were flooded in less
than half an hour and the streets looked like run
ming rivers Sewers in Brooklyn and New-fork
were choled until they burst and sent up muddy
waterspoute.

The Webster Signal says:

The Webster Signal says:
Tho experience Of the past few
years has proved that the interest
Of the merchants and farmers
in this section are identical. There
can be noprosperity for one without
. corresponding prosperity for the
other class. Each should cooperate
with the other in endeavoring to
bring about . more prosperous con-
dition Of affairs in our parish. The
town must not be arrayed against
the country, nor the country against
the town. We cannot too urgently
impress upon our farmers and every
one engaged in agricultural pursuits
the importance Of planting q sufn-
cheney Of oats, corn, potatoes, and
Of making living at home for them
selves and their families, and then
all the cotton possible on . few
acres. The merchants are convin-
ced that the credit system is the
cause Of low prices Of farm products.
The people must first get out Of
debt and then stay out, and the
only way to succeed in the effort 10
BY raising their supplies At home.

According to an agreement
reached in the Senate, the anti-op-
tons bill will be voted upon next
Tuesday, and, despite the fight
which has been made against it, the
indications are it will pass. This
at least is the opinion Of Senator Vest
and others who have opposed the
bill from the beginning, but there
Is still some hope that the measure
viii be defeated 1t the last moment
because it is now claimed that the
majority in favor Of the bill, when
Il was first taken up for considers
ton. has dwindled down to five or
six votes. The bill Is opposed by
every business community in the
country and no effort should be
spared to defeat it-Daily States.

A SURE CURE FOR HOG
CHOLERA.

1t i. not often that I attempt 70
write anything for the papers, and
it is only philanthropic spirit that
moves me to write this Every
editor In the United States should
copy it, and every farmer out It out
and preserve it. Why? Because
it is q sure cure for hog cholera. l
have never known or heard Of II
failing. 1t is very simple, cheap
and easily done.
Directions: Fut one,hali tee,
spoonful Of pure carbollc acid in .
gill Of sweet milk, and pour it down
the hog. When the farmer sees any
symptoms Of cholera among his
hogs, especially when one or two
have died, drive every hog and pig
into q very close pen let one man
catch the hog bv the ears and stt
the hog up with his back between
his legs. while another man opens
the hogs mouth with . stick, and
the medicine, being in . long-neck-
ed, heavy bottle. Is easily poured
down. Care should be taken not
to dose one twice. Twice the
amount will kill. Every hog, sick
or we'll, on the farm and surround
ing farms should be dosed.
Now, brother editors and farmers,
II you do not use Ill reasonable
means, especially when it costs you
nothing. to let every farmer in the
United States know this, you ought
to ole, just . little bit, with the
cholera yourself.-I. A. Dodge,

THE ROAD QUESTION.

Notably Illinois and Georgia are
the two States that are making the
most active efforts to secure good
roads. Frost and ice have been the
friends Of the Illinois country peo-
pie during the past few week, a.
their roads have been as smooth as
ice and snow could make them.
Farmers have easily reached rail-
road stations and the country towns.
Blu. when the spring rains set in the
prairie roads in Illinois become al
most impossible; worse than the
roads in the parish Of Pointe COu-
pee or Iberville after . two weeks
rain. Georgia, in its hill country,
has to contend with . stiff clay
which makes locomotion after rains
an arduous job. Both States how
ever, are organizing road associa-
tons, and the people are becoming
enthusiastic upon the subject of
good roads.
Here in Louisiana the same thing
can be done II our people will take
hold Of the matter in an intelligent
way. In such parishes a. the Fe-
licianas, the Florida parishes and
North Louisiana good roads once
made would remain good roads for
years IL . little care was bestowed
upon them each fall. In the allu-
vial portion Of the State . little more
expense would be necessary to con-
struct highways that would not be
rendered bad by the long winter
rains. But it ID possible to build
roads that would stand the heavy
hauling and fall travel and not be-
come bad. Rains never last over
. week; . proper drainage soon
dries the soil Of all portions Of the
State.
Good roads are not only . means
to better living, an easier commune
cation between different sectio
but they add to the value of the
farms that lie along them. The
turnpikes Of Ohio have increased
the farm property Of that State 33l
per cent. Good roads would in
crease the value of our lands at
least so per cent.
1t ia to be hoped that good roads
will be one Of the subjects that will
come up for discussion in the immi-
grafton convention that it is believed
will assemble in March.-N. o.

FOREIGN RICE.

There were imported into the
United State during the month Of
November 2, 7O3, 653 pounds Of rice,
not including the imports Of rice
-four, rice meal and broken rice.
A. the low prices Of domestic
rice prevailing during November
precluded the idea Of importing
foreign rice for home consump-
ton. these imports must have had
some other purpose, and We find
that there were 7l1,7l7 pounds Of
rice exported during the same
period. This would seem to leave
. considerable amount Of this rice
on hand in bond.
The imports Of the same kind Of
rice for the whole Of 1892 70 Nov
ember 80, eleven months, were 49,
897 1856 pounds, some $4,000, 900
Of pounds less than the previous
year, while the exports during the
same eleven months were but o.
422, 963 pounds.
1t has thus seemed necessary to
import some GA, OOO, 900 pounds Of
rice during the eleven months Of
1892, ending November 30, for
home consumption, and all this not
including the imports Of rice flour,
rice meal and broken rice, SO large
ly imported for brewers use.
This 1000, 900 pounds of rice
imported for home consumption
would equal the rice to come from
GAO, 900 bags OF rough rice, and
certainly there will be no such i'm
ports during 1898 until our crop
shall have been nearly exhausted
and prices largely advanced.
This necessary demand for 640,-
600 bags Of rough rice additional,
to supply the current wants OF the
home market in 1898, will absorb
our so-called surplus supply, and
in May and June with our rough
rice selling At s. so our present
bears will be regretting their pres
emit lack Of foresight.

FOR PUBLIC PRINTER.

At q recent meeting Of New Or
leans Typographical Union. No. II,
. resolution was adopted strongly
recommending Col Will Lambert,
Of Houston, Texas, for appoint
ment 10 the position Of Public
Printer, and calling upon Louisi-
ana's Senators and Representatives
in Congress to use their influence
with President-elcct Cleveland in
his interest.
The State Of Texas has already
taken similar action unanimously,
a. we'll Is . number of other Unions
in the South, and it is stated that
bus name will be brought before the
Amalgamated Council at its next
meeting for Endorsement.
Twenty years ago, when the edi'
tor of the FARMER was President Of
Galveston Typographical Union
No. 20, land one Of the seven char
ter members,) Col. Lambert held
"cases" in the same Galley" with
US on the Galveston Daily News,
and being intimately acquainted
with him, both socially and as
fellOw-worker, We have no hesita'
ton is asserting that he is pre-emi'
nently qualified. in every respect,
for the high and responsible posi-
ton of Public Printer, and recon-
mend his claims to the careful con-
alteration Of Louisiana's delegation
in Congress. Aside from his thor
oughly practical knowledge Of thu
printing business. and his fine 50
cial qualities, he would soon take
rank as the handsomest looking
man in Washington City, and thai
ought to count for something.
Col. Lambert is . lifelong Demo
Graf, and is very popular with the
working people Of the United States
aud Canada. He was elected by
the Atlanta Convention Of the In
ternational Typographical Union ~
one of the members of the Board oil
Trustees of the Childs- Drexel Home
for Union Printers, and was the
first to come forward with the ten
der of . large tract Of land to the

on the Houston Post, and very
prominent n Democrat all
through Texas.
He served faithfully all during
the late war, on the Southern side,
having sacrificed everything for the
cause.
