Commodore Stewart, who disap.
proved sentence Of dismissal from

Nevertheless, though promoted
to post captaincy in 1874, his
enemies were strong enough to
keep him ont of service. 1Years
passed and his applications for q

When war with Mexico was de
clared, he made piteous appeals to

famine occurring in Ireland and
the government determining to

This request was also ignored. He

tent with keeping him out of the
service, his prosecutors continued
their work, and in 1866, under the
Shubrick Board or Commission,
he was notified that his name had
been stricken from the rolls of the
navy. Yet" says Mr.. Morgan,
"despite all the great influence
brought to bear against this Jew,
the United States government
ordered still another board, which
restored him 10 his rank and emol.
uments. In 1858 he was aboard
the Macedonia during cruise in
the Mediterranean as flag officer OF
the squadron" and when "he died
in New York city, March 22, 1862,
he was buried with full naval
honors."

but justice and truth triumphed In

that the country which he had

STATISTICS are not always O safe
basis of generalization, but they
are often suggestive. There is at
feast a curious interest in some
statistics collected by the British
Medical Association relating to
che deaths of 1924 men, classified
according TO their drinking habits,
The result of this classification
showed the total abstainers to be
the shortest lived. They lived, on
an average, 6l.22 years, while the
hsbitual drunkards lived on an
average 52.Os years. In this case
the extremes meet. The free
drinkers lived an average Of 57.59
years, and what are called careless
drinkers 59.67 years, while the
average life Of the habitually
temperate was prolonged to 62.l8
years. Whatever significance there
may be in these figures points di.
rectly to the practical value Of
temperance. The man who rejects
all use of alcohol would seem to
be at an equal hygienic disadvant-
age with him who abuses it.

SAVING OF SOIL MOISTURE.
Use Of the Plow, Harrow, Roller and Gull
tivator to Prevent Evaporation.

tvator to Prevent Evaporation.
Press bulletin No. 7, from Ex-
pertinent Station Of the University
of Tennessee at Knoxville, is on the
saving of soil moisture and is filled
with valuable suggestions as will
be seen by those who read the fol-
lowing items:
Capillary action, or movement
of water in the soil, is due to the
tension of the soil. If the particles
are coarse, the action is weak and
the soil cannot hold much water.
If the particles are fine and the
soil compact, the capillary action
is strong and large amount of
water will be held unless lost by
evaporation.
Moisture may be retained in the
soil oy subsoiling, plowlng, har.
rowing, cul,ivating, mulching,
rolling and by the addition of
humus or decayed vegetable mat
ter.
Subsoiling increases the dept of
clayey and compact soils and al
lows more water te enter them in
stead ofrunning off on the surface.
Subsoiling is thus an important
means of preventing washing, and
it also enables the roots to pene.
trate deeper, thus increa sing the
feeding area. Both spring and
fall subsoiling are of advantage on
stiff, heavy land.
Flowing Is an important factor
in saving soil moisture. The
reason why lands wash 30 serious
ly is that the plowing is too shal
low, and it is frequently done
when the soil is in an unfit con-
dition. The plow should be run
as deep as possible, being set
slightly lower each year until the
top soil is eight or ten inches
deep. The best plowing is that
which leaves the soil in the finest
state of division. Cloddy or
lumpy land cannot hold large
amount of water; therefore it is
important to plow when the land
is neither too wet nor too dry.
Land should be narrowed after
plowing before the clods become
hard and difficult to crush, and the
surface made as fine as possible.
Frequent narrowing of lands al.
ready planted will check the loss
of water. Orchards, especially
those containing young trees, will
be greatly benefited by narrowing
at brief intervals until midsum-
mer. The disk harrow is best
adapted to clayey soils. The disk
should be set at such an angle that
tho entire surface will be titled.
As a saver of soil moisture, how
ever. the disk harrow is consider.
ed inferior to the Acme or spring
tooth harrows. III the land has
been put in the proper condition
early in the season spike tooth
or smoothing harrow will be all
that is needed during the summer.
The frequent cultivation of hoed
crops is necessary to prevent the
rapid evaporation of moisture.
Ii the ground is sufficiently loose
an implement with many small
teeth should be used, AS such
ouliivator leaves a finer soil mulch
than one with large teeth. A
soil mulch three inches deep is
more effective in saving moisture
than one of less depth. The land
should be titled after every rain,

As an active member of the firm
of Poitevent & Favre, he embark
ed in the work with his usual en-
thusiasm and vigor. He was al,
ways abreast with the times and
ready and willing to adopt all de-
vices and improvements in the way
of mechanical appliances which
offered themselves. The firm en-
larged Its plant, as well as Its
sphere of action. The firm be-
came a company and Captain Jno.
Poiteyent was chosen president.
The construction of the jetties at
mouth of the Mississippi river by
the late Captain J. B. Eads re-
quired an immense amount OF TIM
Der and lumber, and the Poitevent
& Favre Lumber Company were
the successful bidders for furnish
ing the necessary supplies. The
location of the saw mills at
Pearlington and vicinity were
convenient, and the demand
for timber bee anne so great
that the forests in the immediate
vicinity of the mills, as we'll as
along the banks Of Pearl river,
were soon exhausted, and the COM
pany were forced to make lnroads
into the inland forests. In order
to haul the heavy trees to the rlv-
er, where they might be tioated
down to the mills, or to haul them
to the mills themselves. a small
narrow guage logging railroad, ten
miles in length was constructed,
and this was the nucleus of the
East Louisiana Railroad, which
has proven so important a factor
in opening up to the world st.
Tammapy parish.
Captain EadS, the eminent en-
gineer, was warm friend and
admirer of Captain Poitevent, and
the esteem was mutual.
When the jetties were complet-
ed, Captain, Poitevent, represent
ing the company, turned his at
tention to other fields and engaged
in a very extensive and lucrative
export lumber business. 1t was
mainly through his enterprise
that Louisiana cypress and Louis
lana and Mississippi pine was in
troduced and came into use IN
foreign countries.
Pearl river was not navigable to
sea-going vessels, and lighters
(schooners) were engaged in
bringing the lumber to foreign
vessels lying at anchor off Ship
Island, Cat Island or the Chan
deleurs.
The Poitevent & Favre Lum-
Der Company had quite an exten-
sive ship yard and ways" at
Pennington, where they not only
constructed the steam vessels
required for their business but
schooners also. A large fleet Of
these vessels was constantly en-
ployed and the company finally
commenced constructing ocean
going schooners for the Mexican,
Central American, West India
and Caribbean Sea lumber trade,
principal among which were the
Rosella Smith and John Nc
Adams, both splendid specimens
of seagoing sailing vessels. In adj
dition to these there were a large
number of light draft schooners
engaged in carrying lumber to the
New Orleans market, whence
much of it was transshipped to
foreign ports on steamships and
sailing vessels in this port.
The company had established
itself on a sure footing as manu-
facturers, shippers and exporters
of lumber, and as shlpbullders.
and now it remained for them to
become builders and operators OF
a railways system destined ulti-
mately to become a large factor in
the commerce of New Orleans
