HARD TIMES.

Southern Farmer.
The cry of hard times has been
familiar to every one for many
generations. The evils we have
always seem greater than those OF
the past, and ones hopes turn to
the future only to reap disappoint-
ment again. The people of the
South have suffered, and suffered
immensely, but all this suffering
has been only relative. The plan
ters and farmers of the Gulf, Sta
tes may find that now, with five
cent cotton, three-cent sugar, and
two-cent rice, the times are truly
hard with them. No one would
have the temerity to dispute this.
But what shall we think Of the
Western farmer, with his ten-cent
oats and fifteen cent corn. The
Western farmer has as low prices
as his fellow-farmer of the Gulf
States, and has nothing like the
advantages we enjoy here in our
climate, our fertile soil and our
Iluxuriant crops. No one can ap-
preciate the wonderful capacity OF
our lands for the cheap produc-
ton of crops unless he has had
experience in more northerly lati-
tudes, as we'll as here.
The people of the other States'
and more particularly of the semi
arid States of the Northwest, art
beginning to find what an 'earthl,
paradise lies here in the Gull
States, of easy access, where thei
coming will be welcomed, thei
energy and economy appreciated
and rewarded. Let us at hom
kcease the cry of hard times, AM
learn to better appreciate our won
lderful resources, and to utillz
them. Then will hard times com
again no more.

The Police Jury met in regular
session Monday. Police Juror Il.
G. Gauthier has submitted, for the
consideration of the jury, the idea
of reducing the number of road
overseers, and to compensate those
of the remaining overseers who
would perform their work to the
satisfaction of the Police Juror OF
each ward.
We believe the system in vogue
at present, in this parish of work
ing our public road by forced-la-
Dor is very unsatisfactory, and
very unjust, because the people in
some sections are willing, and give
good work, while in other sections
the work is simply horrible. In
our opinion, the best and only
way to get good results, is for the
parish to contract at SO much per
mile for the grading of the public
roads, and after that to employ
some carts to keep them in good
order. 1t may be a little expen'
sive the first year, but after that
they would become light, and W.
would have good roads all ovel
the parish.

Views on Poultry Raising.

Butter and cheese are our chief pro.
ductiOns. but is there not an opportu-
nityto build up other branches of farm
ing more than has been done? A great
deal of poultry goes from Vermont ito
the cities of Massachusetts, also many
eggs; but cannot this branch of our
farm work be greatly i'm
proved. asks the Vermont Watch
man. There are difficulties in
the way and they must be consid-
cred. The first is distance from mar
kets. while we are not very far. yet
we are far enough from the cities to
take quitea large snare of the profits for
transportation and other expenses.
This is especially true of winter eggs,
which are 40 or more cents in the cities.
while here they are only about 25. This
is largely owing to the difficulty of
transportation in cold weather. Again,
to be a successful grower of poultry,
one must attend daily to many little
details with which the average farmer
does not think he can bother. and II
may not be best for him to have such
work to do. If the farmer is too busy,
If the housewife is too busy. If there
tend to the poultry. then things on that
farm had better go on in the ordinary
way-keep a few hens and let them
take care of themselves; but there are
many farms where there Is some one
who can deyote more or less time to
hens. turkeys. ducks and geese, to say
nothing of pigeons, etc.
There is generally good home mar
ket for strictly fresh eggs. especially
where the summer visitor from the city
finds home. Every family or person
who uses eggs wants them strictly
fresh. A bad egg is about the greatest
nuisance that gets into the kitchen.
and when any one can deliver eggs
once a week or SO. which are guar
anteed to be strictly fresh he can
generally secure the very best price.
Now there are probably hundreds of
families in towns. villages and cities In
the state that would be very glad to
arrange for fresh eggs: and there are
other hundreds of farmers wives and
children who might meet this demand.
1t may not be always-possible to supply
given number of eggs every week in
the year. but the effort to do this will
lead to study and Improvement. Once
awaken an interest in the egg business,
or any other branch Of poultry keeping,
and better ways will be sought out and
adopted. Many Young people on the
farms would be greatly helped in vari-
Gus way by getting Interested In poul-
try. They would enjoy the care and
work, take pleasure in seeing the fowls
grow. and would be able to earn money
to use We advise farmers to en-
courage their children and do all they
can to help them in this work. 1t takes
only a little lumber to build a house
for poultry, and most of the agricul-
tura papers print directions for caring
for different kinds of poultry.-Ver-
mont Watchman. ELL
