Bamboo Growing i'll Louisiana.

Mr.. Normand, of MarksviIle. write:
the Picayune: | have five different
kinds OF bamboo growing on my expert
mental grounds. | find the giant BAN
boo (B. Senanais) the most profitable
1t is hardy and attains u height of 100
fee when a plantation Of it is we'll start.
ed. 1t will grow wherever the wild
cane grows; stiff clay land suits it best.
The root cuttings should be set 8 feet
apart lay them fiat and cover bodily 8
or 4 inches deep. 1t requires very little
cultivation the first year. After this it
will take care OF itself and grow SO
thick and fastsihat il will occupy all
vacancy between the rows and run
ahead of Rll weeds and grass. / should
think this is the very plant netded for
sub-irrigation pipes. | am going to try
the experiment Of ub-irrigating my
strawberry patch with it,. | also pro-
pose to build a latticed shade over my
strawberries to partly shade them from
the scorching summer sun. ! believe
this Is the way for us to grow the straw
berry successfully water to their roots
when wanted and partially shaded over-
head in the summer. The bamboos can
be set out almost any time. In tho dry
times it must be well watered the first
year planted. The third year after
planting you can begin to cut and use
for walking canes, fish poles, beau poles,
fancy chicken coops; the fourth aud
fifth years for chairs, bedsteads, picture
frames, rustic seats, grape itarbols ON
the seventh and eighth years they be-
from 9 to s inches in diameter aud
grow nearly 100 feet in height in il sin
gle season. They can be used for tele-
graph poles, sub-irrigating tiles, schoon-
er masts: Split in four and nailed to
posts it makes a good fence, cutters,
are made of it vixen sawed the length
wanted.
Beautiful summe houses can be made
OF it. Outhouses can be put up with
less work and quicker with it than lum-
Der. 1t makes a splendid roof that will
be durable and will not leak a drop.
Split or saw them in two and cut out
the inside nodes or joints and lay them
SIDE by aide, cupped up, and then come
In With another layer cupped down, 1t
ls not necessary to give any pitch or
slope to your roof. 1t will catch all the
rain water like SO many cutters, and do
away with r~afters, laths, and the slow
n tedious work OF mailing on shingles.
Large sheds car be built Of it cheaper
n With less work than any building
material. and as a decorative plant, the
bamboo is worthy of admiration. It
ought to take the foremost place.
Nothing can be more graceful than a
group OF them on your place, towering
up high like q gigantic fern, in startling
and its great fern like
fronds wave with even IL slight breeze
with such elegance as to form an i'm
pressiye spectacle.

Correspondence
PINE PRAIRIE, Sept. 8, .

PINE PRAIRIE. Sept. 8, 1894.
EDITORS COURIER:
| have been asked repeatedly by my
neighbors in the last three weeks what
the White Supremacy League was dsiv-
ing at. My answer is that there is a
certain faction in this parish that waits
office bad they are of the Cheap John
stripe and will resort to almost anything
that they think will be popular with the
unsuspectlng people; but fortunately
the leaders are known by their ear
marks. The negro does not care a fig
about voting and would have quit vot-
ing ten years ago had they not been
coaxed into it by the very men and their
sort TINT are lending the crusade against
him now. All that is wanted is for all
ward bosses and politicians to let him
alone, and there will not be one in ten
that will go to the polls the next gene
raj election. But, Messrs. Editors, the
funniest thing about the whole business
is that these leaders warn the people to
watch the Opelousas politicians! That
reminds me of an incident that happen
ed in 1850 in the city of Memphis. There
was a Dig crowd around the ticket Office
scranOling for tickets. / happened to
be locking at a dudish looking fellow
When he yelled out, Look out for pick
pockets!" In less than five minutes a
policeman seized him with his hand In
an old farmers pocket. So I think it a
good time for the honest, law-abiding
people of this parish to look out for
pickpockets.
Messrs. Editors, from q card that ap-
peared in your last issue we are given
to understand that the negro must go
first, then the Jews. l have been deal
ing with Jews for the last fifty years; |
was side by side with some Of them in
Of the most holly contested bat
ties Of the late war. In their dealings
they are as honest as the average man,
and as to their abiding by the laws of
the country there are none to excel
them ; as to their patriotism and brav-
cry they are equal to any and a long
way superior TO some. Therefore, let
me say to all those, if there-be any, that
are contemplating such a move, they
had better think twice or thrice before
act, for in my humble opinion they
will find Jordan a hard road to travel. |
The woods are full of old ex-Confeds
and their Offspring. who will stand BY
The Jews until His Satanic Majestyis
kingdom freezes over, and then stand
Dy him on the ice until it melts under
heir burning indignation.

Sept, Is, 1894
After a silence Of several months, due
to absence, illness and other causes, it
is again my pleasant privilege to send a
few items from our little Hillside City.
First among them must be an express
sion of our qualification at once more
having communication with the outside
world through that most potent of all
mediums-the press. A cordial welcome
to "The Post!" Long may it abide
with Us, ever increasing in power, inf1u-
ence and prosperity None a deny
that q town presents a magnificent
opening for newspaper work-not only
in the patronage Of the paper itself,
which has always been liberal, but also
in the large quantities Of job work ne
ests; and why should not the Post, I'M
der the energetic management of our
popular townsman and ex-Mayor, Mr..
Flynn, be the one to reap these benefits ?
We heartily wish it success and believe
it will win it.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. John II.
Humble, who left for New Orleans last
Monday to place himself under the care
OF an oculist, is improving. Mr.. Hum
BILE has been suffering acutely during
the past two weeks from an abscess in
bis right eye, caused by a cinder which
LAD become imbedded in the mucous
lining OF the upper lid.
Mrs. Creighton Wallis, Of Lafayette,
who had been in town attending her
brother, Mr.. w. S. burke, during his
recent illness, returned several days
ago and We are pleased to note that
MIR. burke has recovered sufficiently to
be spending a while at her home.
Miss A%lphonsine Desmare, who spent
two or three weeks in S%huteston, visit
ing her friend, Mrs. John NJ. Ware, has
returned, much refreshed by her pleas
