The Loui.iana sugar Crop.

All our adyices this week indicate the
satisfactory progress CT the grinding
season, and its termination on num-
Der of plantations. Enough of rain
has now been had to fill such require
ments as existed, and yet the weather
has not been in any respect unfavor-
able for the economical harvesting of
the crop. That the sugar output will
be extremely short as compared with
an average year is now fully apparent,
and the canes, while yielding very
well, have not been of the extraordi-
nary sweetness predicted in October,
owing doubtless to the freeze of No
vember 3 and the warm weather which
prevailed for some time thereafter.
The prediction that rich juice would
partly compensate for limited acre.
age has not, therefore, been fully veri-
fed.
So far as the next crop is concerned
there appears to be the same determi-
nation to make it a big one and that
the amount of seed was seriously cur
tailed by the freeze does not seem
probable.-Louisiana Planter.

The Southern Planter thinks the
$25, 000, 900 paid by this country for inn
ported goat skins should be kept at
home. But goats must be kept in
large fiocks, on our waste lands, where
their propensity TO ramble about and
do mischief can be attended with no
harm to crops. Probably there is no
animal kept in domesticated condi-
ton which is capable of doing so
much mischief as a goat. 1t seems to
delight in never being right except
when in mischief, and fences seem to
exist for no other purpose in the mind
of the goat except to be disregarded.
Its cosmopolitan appetite is never salts
fed until it has sampled everything in
reach, and especially that which is
urgently desired it shall not touch.
Nothing seems to come amiss to its
stomach, or to cause it sickness. On
a stretch of wild, uninclosed land, in
the care of goat herder, immense
good could be done to the land by
keeping large flock of goats, and it
is evident that much money could be
realized from the sale of the hair and
skins, for both of which there is a
large and constant demand. The An
CORA goat is the breed from which the
finest hair is produced, and expert
ence has shown that this breed does
remarkably well in the southern state

Fruit Growers They Make His
Crop Possible.

Beekeepers and fruit growers arc
slowly realizing how intimately con-
nected their interests are. Fruit grow.
ers long contended that the honey bee
sometimes made great havoc among
tender-skinned fruits, like the grape,
by biting through the skin and suck
ing out the juice; in some cases efforts
were made to legislate the bees out of
community, as a public nuisance. On
the other hand, the beexeeper stoutly
contended that the bees were neces-
sary to accomplish the proper cross
fertilization of the blossoms to ensure
crop of fruit, and that the fruit
growers often killed their friends-the
bees-by spraying the trees during the
blossoming period. Numerous discuss
sions have taken place upon these
points at issue. At the present time.
the bees have not only been indicated
but in the future intelligent fruit
growers will generally regard them
selves as more indebted to the bee
keepers than the latter are to the fruit
growers, for the amount of honey that
the bees secure from fruit blossoms
comes far short of equaling in value
that part of the fruit crop which.
many accurate observations and ex-
periments indicate, is due to the COM
