There is a prospect of a late

There is a prospect of a late
crop, and probability of a yield
little, if any, in excess Of this year;
The mill consumption promises
to be the greatest ever known;
The richest lands in the Missis-
sippi Valley are overlooked, and
prospects are poor of their being
able to plant anything like full
crop this year;
A wet planting season over the
majority of the belt, making an
early August movement, such as
occurred last season.. absolutely
impossible;
Last of all, prices for the new
crop positions &c. below the value
of spot cotton, and only 13-16c.
higher than when the country was
overwhelmed by probably the
worst combination of disasters
ever seen i'll times of peace.
Is it any wonder then that spin
ners are daily absorbing the rem
nant Of our stocks, regardless Of
the higher prices that they have to
pay?
Nothing could more clearly es-
tablish the fact that their supplies
are not. sufficient to last them
until the new crop becomes avail
able than their purchase of spots
at 4c. higher than the prices which
are now ruling for the new crop.
Since the famous "Maiors sqeeze"
of 1S90-when middling in this
market sold at 1f5-there has not
been such a strong position, and l
am firmly convinced that the adj
vance of that year will be repeated
this season.
Even war-that great bugbear
of the Balls and the bare threat
of which has SO often sent. dismay
into their. ranks-.-has lost its ter
rOrs and cotton has steadily ad-
vanced in the face of actual hos
tilities of most sanguinary kind.

BUFFALO GNAT.
Prevention and Remedies to Check Their

From the Natehez Democrat.1


From the Natchez DeDocrat.1
Prof. j. G. Roberts, veterinari-
an to the Mississippi Experiment
Station at the A. and NJ. College
at Starkville, has just issued
treatise on the buffalo gnat, that
will be. of interest. at the present
time, in view of the fact that they
have already made their appear
ance in some portions of the over
flowed districts,a may be looked
for here before long. We regret
that we are unable TO publish the
entire article as sent out by Prof.
Roberts, and must content our
selves with giving only brief .ex-
tracts from it. The treatise gives
a full history of the little pests,
their origin, habitat, (Which is
said to be exclusively in the Mis-
sissippi Valley, between st. Louis
and the mouth of Red River, and
other points of interests concern
ing them them. 1t says they al
most invariably follow overfiows
and are carried to different iocali-
ties from the swamps by the high
winds. Horses and other stock
may be grazing l6isurely without
a gnat in sight when suddenly q
gale of wind will watt millions of
them into the pastures and they
at once commence their devastat-
ing work on the luckless animals.
They attack preferably the soft
skin of the body directly over the
veins or around the ears, neck,
forelegs and flank, but may attack
any part of the body. Besides the
oozing of the blood from the bittenl
parts, swelling of the skin and1
high fever, the animal attacked
often has. colicy pains. In some
cases death has been reported tol
follow In thirty or forty minutes.
The treatise suggests that The
treatment should, as far as posi-
bic, be preventive. Fires should
be built around plantations as
soon as the -gnats appear and a
heavy sitting smoke secured. The
more offensive this smoke is made
with old leather, leaves, rotten-|
wood, etc. the more efficacious
will it be. Buckets containing fire
and making smoke may be hung
on the harness of the animals. |
Olntments and offensive washes
may be used but are not always
reliable. One wash that is recon-
mended consists of hard soap half
a pound; fish oil two gallons and
water one gallon. Dissolve the
soap in the boiling water and while
still hot add the fish oil and stir
the whole until all is thoroughly |
mixed. For use add one part of |
the emulsion to eight to fifteen |
parts of cold water and apply toI
the body of the animal. If the
gnats are very bad the animals |
may be placed in dark stable:
When stock have been bitten the |
places should be sponged off with
water or ammonia. 1t is claimed |
by sone'that in large amounts.the
poison caused by the bite of the |
gnat acts on the animals system
similar to the poison of the rattle
snake and the best results with
sick horses sand mules have beenl
obtained by giving thirty or forty |
grains of carbonates of Ammonia

four hours until relieved. For

L1fPORTA NOE OF GUARDING
THE LIE WEES.

LdsI Week tcreVasse at Mlll
Bayon on Lake Concordia came
very near happening. A colored
man was walking along the public
levee near Mill Bayou and noticed
that "a considerable space on the
serswn of the levee had collapsed
aud sunk and the water was run
ming through the levee. With
great presence of mind, he began
to cry aloud for re-inforcements
and proceeded to pitch sacks of
dirt, which had been used to top
the leyee, into the cavity and some
people coming to his assistance
the place was soon repaired. This
shows the great Importance of
having the public. levees patroiled
so'that every half hour at farthest
guard would pass over the leyee.
All the railroads of the country
have trackmen whose duty it is to
walk over every foot of the track
at stated intervals and this is to
protect human life against an &C
cident caused by "a defective track.
We are living behind embank-
ments which, during the protract-
period of high water, have become
weakened and dangerous and it is
highly -inrpsrtant that they be
guarded with vigilance, as a Gre
vase may occur such asmight have
occurred at Mill Bayou but for the
timely presence of the man who
came along at the right moment.
During seiges, beleagured cities
are protected by breastworks
manned by soldiers, and unless
the greatest watchfulness is main
tanned, the enemy would break
through and capture the place in
tesded to be protected.
Our homes and plantations are
protected by our levees and they
should be manned by guards the
same as breastworks are in time
Of seige- The guards should be
regularly organized with set of
officers like military fortifca-
ton. The loose manner in which
they are now watched by the aver
age guard is no guarantee that the |
will be faithful to their |
trusts. Unless they felt the rein
of discipline they would abandon
the ieyee and seek shelter in case
of storm or rain. Down on the
lower coasts of the Mississippi |
River they fear that their levees
will be cut and they have organ
ICED their system of guarding the
levees so that they viii be reason
ably safe not only against levee
but against accidents. Fortu-
nat6fg our parish has been we'll
guarded and SO far no accident has
occurred which was not promptly |
seen and reported. The young
men who are employed as day and
night watches are intelligent and
faithful and we give them full
credit for their conduct.
Should the Government take
charge of our levees; as seems now
to be the sentiment they viii be
not only built in the most sub
stantial manner, but guarded like
such fortifications should be which
are intended to protect the homes
Of the people living behind them
