FLAX AND BARLEY.
Editor st. Tammany FARMER:

Editor st. Tammany FARMER:
Flax will grow on low ground,
where nothing else can grow. 1t
can be sown as late as the month
of May. 1t will take about one
half bushel Of seed to the acre, in
drills one inch deep and about
three feet apart. 1t will take four
months to get ripe, from the time
it is planted. Horses and cattle
eat this straw. 1t is as good as
hay for them. The stalks are used
for making linen thread and Irvine,
and the seed are pressed and lin
seed oil is made out Of the sub .
stance in the North. and it can be
done in the South as well.
Barley can be planted in Sep
TENDER to January. 1t will take
from 90 to l2O days from the time
of planting until it is reaped. 1t
can be drilled or broad cast. The
straw is good for stock. aud the
grain is good for feeding fowls, or
raising pigs. 1t don't require
much working.

A War Sacrifice.

When fust / told my wife that we had
better let him 60,
never seed on mortal face look
o. keener woe!
Jes' seemed g II her heart ID break, an
in her eyes there come
A sort o. wild, sppealin' stare that
seemed to strike me dumb.
An when at last she swallered down
the choke SOS she could talk,
She said she guessed she never had jes'
SIGH sudden shock,
But she would leave it al to me, an if
thought 1t best
To let him 60 she'd try to bear the bur-
den In her breast.
I told her ut q time like this, when
war was In the land,
That everybody in their way should
lend . helpin' hand.
An since the guyament had need o. Jack
we'd ort to do
Our share in the emergency by lettin'
of him go.
kn0wed 1t would be lonesome round
the ranch when he was gone.
We'd miss his voice in mornin' song,
1t risin' time, at dawn.
We'd miss his old familiar step q plod-
din round the place,
An miss, perhaps, the most Of all his
earnest, honest face.
We talked about orr Jack that night,
my wife's eyes full o. tears,
An me chicken in the throat like I'D
not done fur years.
Fur jes' want to tell you, pard, it's
mighty tough to part,
Perhaps to meet no more, with one
that's nestled in your heart.
But ia: * Is climbin' up in years, al
though yit big an strong,
An we decided in the end we mightn't
have him long,
An Is the agent offered US price that
wasn't low,
We both concluded it was best to let
the OIL mul. 60.

The night before he left for

Commodore Dewey was the guest
of honor at a dinner party i'll

ell to console hum because he was
ordered away of to the other side
of the Pacific just at the time when
war seemed imminent between Spain
and the United States. Commo-
dore Dewey replied that he was
glad to go, and did not deserve any
sympathy. "You know the Span
iards have some colonies over there
in Asia and a large fleet, which
/ Shall have to attack and destroy,

so," he said. 81 expect to have

REINFORCING DEWEY.

Tie cruiser Charleston sailed
from San Francisco to join the fleet
OF Admiral Dewey at Manila and
will carry a large amount of arr
munition and stores for his ships.
1t is estimated that the Charleston
will not be able to make voyage in
Jess time than three weeks because
the ship is heavily loaded with sup
plies, occupying a great deal Of
space in which coal is usually stored,
therefore, sue will net be able to
steam except ct moderate rate Of
speed. 1t is expected that tie
cruiser will stop at Honolulu TO re-
plenish her coal bunkers and there
will be overtaken by the fast trans
ports winch have be chartered by
the government to convey troops to
Manila. Tue plan is to have 5000
soldiers arrive at the PHILIPPINES
simultaneously with the Charleston
and her supplies for the American
warships. The government is hur-
ry;ng the concentration OF about
25, 900 regular and volunteer troops
at San Francisco and these will he
placed aboard the transports which
have been chartered.because of their
speed and the force will be sent to
Manila with as little delay as pos
sible.
1t also the intention OF the govern
ment to reinforce Admiral Dewey's
fleet at Manila by attaching to his
command the powerful sea-going
monitor, Monterey, and the gun
boats Bennington and Yorktown.
These will be followed by the cruiser
Philadelphia, which is undergoing
certain repairs to her machinery At
the Ware Island navy yard, which
are now being pushed as rapidly
as possible. Admiral Dewey,
in other words, will have five more
ships added to his feet and among
them one. the Monterey, able to
cope with the battleships which it
is claimed will be in the Spanish
squadron now being fitted out At
Cadiz for the purpose Of driving the
American naval fleet from Manila.

The Latin nations have never
taken naturally to sea fighting.
Their record of naval achievement
is not . bright one. France sup
ports fine navy, but what sea
victory has France won TO which it
can point with particular pride?
Portugal, Italy and Spain have
furnished some daring navigators,
but what great triumphs in war
have they gained with ships ?
While the Latin race has been weak
upon the sea, the Ang!o-Saxon race
has been especially strong there.
The naval annals OF Great Britain

The Cotton Outlook.

The crop Of last year is by far
tue largest on record. 1t reaches
the enormous total Of LOCO, 600
bales Yet the supply is not ex-
cessive. The price keeps strong in
spite Of war. Indeed everything
makes the statistical position OF
cotton much stronger than last year.
Let our cotton farmers take re-
newed hope. War with spain wi
improve the price. Perhaps it will
reduce the amount Of the crop
but rest assured You will get good
price for everv pound you make.
So pull off your coat and roll up
your sleeves.-Monr0e Bulletin.

NEED TT NOW.

Congress will soon be called upon
to decide the question Of building a
canal connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans. Chairman Davis
Of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee says:
ss'rhe need for q connection be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific cam
not be questioned. Our interests
demand it. With canal between
the two oceans in operation now
we would have nothing to fear from
attack on our Pacific port. AS it
is it would take us sixty. DAYS to
send our fleet around the born to
the Pacific coast cities. With the
canal we could dispatch wen-of-war
to San Francisco from New York in
fourteen DAYS.
John Barrett, United Minister to
Siam, writes enthusias tically Of the
great possibilities OF the Far East
as q market for our southern cot
ton. That part Of the world is
destined to be an enormous con-
sumner OF cotton cloth, but the
American fibre cannot compete
with the Egyptian ana Indian
cotton, owing to the great distance
and excessive freight charges.
Let the Nlcaraguan canal be dug,
however, anc a vast trade in export
cotton would spring up to the great
profit of the Southern States. The
managers of two Of the biggest
steamship lines OF Europe and the
Orient have assured Minister Bar
ret that il an isthmlan canal we're
open they would put on feet OF
ships pay ing particular attention to
the carriage Of cotton from the South
to Japan and China. -

This is a new and important arti-
Gle, providing for a commission
OF three members to regulate
charges, to correct abuses, and
prevent unjust discrimination and
extoration in the rates of the
above-named corporations.
Forty of the States of our Union
had previously established such
commissions, but the railroads in
Louisiana have always heretofore
killed such measures in our Legis-
.lature. While all sensible people
appreciate the great benefits derived
from railroads and other corpora
tions, yet it is evident that such
powerful bodies, all ministering
to the public and enjoying special
powers and privileges, must be
subject to some supervision by the
