FRUIT BUDS.

THAT fruit which is worth having ID
worth planting.
ARE you after money in apple cul-
ture? Plant quite proportion of
good early fall sorts.
A LITTLE protection in fruit growing
often goes great way. An instance is
told of an apple tree standing near the
barn, at one edge of large hot pile of
manure. The side warmed by the
manure was loaded with fruit, the
other side barren.
PROTECTING BUDS FROM BIRDs.-An
English gardener, whose currant and
gooseberry bushes were being stripped
of buds by the birds, and who was un-
able to get cheap netting, kept the
birds off by covering the bushes
with white worsted, twisted and
tangled in all directions.-American

THE southern states may have mo-
nopoly on profits in pecan culture, but
not on nut culture generally. As the
Rural says, nut growing will pay in

chestnuts and walnuts, and possibly
butternuts and hickories, are quite
commonly planted in orchards and
groves

Resolutions.

The following resolutions of the St.

adopted at it's quarterly meeting at
Caney Branch Hall. July 10, 1894:
Be it resolved, by the Parish Farm
ers' Alliance of st. Landry that we Ie-
quest of our Representative E. w. Rob-
ertson in Congress to state why he fail
ed to comply with his promise to the
Alliance order to support the Hatch
Bill. We see from Congressional Re-
cords that he wa not present when the
bill was voted upon. We hope he will
not consider it impertinent on our part
in seeking this much desired informa-
ton for we are very jealous Of our
rights. His absence may have been an
avoidable, if such being the case, we are
not aware of it.
Resolved, That we extend to the good
citizens of Caney Branch. and specially
the ladies, our deepest gratitude for
their kind entertainment. Resolved,
further, We will long and kindly re-
member such generosity.

Literary Note.

Our Little Ones for August is a de.
lightful number. Besides the charming
stories and jingles which make this
little magazine SO eagerly looked for by
the children, we notice the instructive
articles. Harry Learns About the
Mind,n by Mrs. G.. Hall My Indian
Yeranda," by E. N. Smith !; and E. B.
Barry's Letter From Italy, telling
about the flight Of the storks. We learn
that Our Little Ones is now used in
many public schools, for supplementary
reading, and all reports concur in rep
resenting it as admirably suited to the
purpose.
Its elegant illustrations are not only
the most valuable object-lessons but
are positive helps in learning to read.
They increase the childs' interest in the
stories, sketches and poems, which seek
not only to interest but to develop the
observation power of the young reader
to positive enthusiasm, and thus make
the teachers work easy and pleasant.

Aug. 9TH, 1894.
Last week we had two or three nice
showers, and crops have improved
great deal.
The people at Bell Cheneyare all well
and are having a nice time.
1t is a pity that no accommodations
can be had at these fine springs, for if q
suitable hotel, stables, &C., were there,
the crowd this year would have been
immense, and hope another year to see
the manager take hold and improve the
springs as of yOre.
A Methodist protracted meeting will
commence here on Wednesday and last
10 days OR more.
Messrs. Jack Perrodin and Edgar

ley and all at Bell Cheney will no doubt
give the young gentlemen a rousing
reception.

young ladies, passed up for Bell
