Diversified Farming in Alabama.
n. O. States
Diversified farming is getting
popular in Alabama and rice rails
ing is receiving the attention of
farmers. Down in Butter there are
some low, marshy lands, we'll
adapted to rice raising, and two
some Of these lagoon lands, at, cost
of little over one dollar per acre.
He cleared seven acres and was in
duced to plant five eighths of an
about S25, after having used enough
in home consumption to pay the
entire expense of making and gath
ering. This year he planted one
acre in rice from which he will clear
$40, large part Of the patch in
potatoes and the remainder in corn,
sugar cane and peas. A fair esti-
mate Of his income from the seven
acres will not be less than $3.50; the
cost OF making and gathering not
over 500, leaving a net profit of
about $3.50. At the present price
1t would have taken fifteen bales of
cotton to have brought him this
amount, about four times as much
land and about equally proper
tionate amount of cost in making
and marketing. 1t requires no
mathematical genius to Fl CURE the
difference in the profits.

then made it's way to the dining

himself as having been exceptional
ally lucky, as he was just on the
eve Of putting his little girl to sleep
in the cradle which was in very
close proximity to the fire place
where the lightning appeared to
have struck with the greatest force.
The house was damaged to the ex
tent Of about SIS, but Mr.. Bertrand
will cheerfully pay that amount,
feeling that the kind hand of Provi-
dence has protected him from what
might have been an awful calamity.

Promotion of Father LafOrest

promotion OF Father LafOreSt
The people of Carencro, though
approaching the compliment which
has been paid Father Laforest,
are sorry that that good priest
has been transferred t. Ahbevilie
Recognizing RE rminr mt qualities
of Fa'h,r Lsforsst, Bishop R"uxel
has decided to place him in char.e
of the Abbeville parish, one of the
rgest and most important in the
diocese. The people of Carencro
had learned to love thus good priest
welfare during the several years of
his rectorship of ST. Peters church
had won for him the respect, es-
TEEN and confidence of the whole
community, and when it became
known that his services were needed
elsewhere it is no wonder that sin
cere expressions of regret were ut
tered by all, young and old Catho-
lies and Protestants.
1t is safe to say that no clergy
man has ever won the love of his
congregation more completely than
has Father .aforest. When he
took charge of the Carencro church
that parish was not in the best of
shape, but he leaves it in exec llent
condition. His labors were not
confined to the spiritual betterment
of his flock, but being a man of un-
firing energy he eNerted himself
also toward the material ameliOra-
ton of his parish. He had sue
Ceeded in raising enough money to
build magnificent edlfice, which
on the eve of completion was blown
down by the wind. This, however,
him on with renewed energy. The
splendid con.iitin II Of St. Peters
church to day is the most eloquent
proof of the good judgment dis
played by Father Laforest in the
management of the affairs of that
parish. No doubt everybody in Car
encro will be sorry to lose him, and
everyone there is glad that he has
been promoted. Although a loss
to them, they like him we'll enough
to make the sacrifice without com
planning. In leaving he carries
with him the good wishes Of his
parishioners to which The Gazette
desires to add it's own
