our Fell0Ol0 E0St LOUISIANA N2ll-
road has had to contend with the
elements during the past few days.
On Thursday of last week the
morning train for the city had to
return, being unable to pass the
Pearl River switch. But the en-
terprising manager, Mr.. Pearsall,
was equal to the occasion, and
promptly arranged for the trans
fer of passengers by way Of Mande-
vile and the steamer New Camelia.
This only lasted a short time, and
last Sunday the train resumed its
trips along the line as usual. The
trip of Thursday which failed is
the only one that has been missed
on account of high water during the
the existence Of the road, a period
Of about thirteen years. The only
other trip the road has missed dur
ing all that time, that we can re-
member, was caused by a collision
one Sunday morning with the
Louisville and Nashville tram.
We venture to say that no other
railroad in the State can show as
good record. All Of which serves
to establish confidence in the
promp,ness, safety and reliability
of the road, and these facts are fully
appreciated BY the travelling public
and business men of the community.

Batter Cultures.

One of the acknowledged experts in
this country .on the subject of ripen-
ing cream is Professor H. w. Conn,
of Connecticut, who is the introducer
of the system Of artificial butter cult
ures and the discoverers Of the famous
bacteria which produces the June but
ter flavor. In his new bulletin No.
p he discusses various methods of
compelling cream ripening by use Of
starters and butter cultures. The
Danish method is to pasteurize the
cream and then add a pure culture
of the right kind of bacteria. This
produces a mild-havOred butter, which,
however. is not SO we'll liked in this
country as that produced by natural
starters. To make q natural starter
take the milk from perfectly healthy
COW. The first few jets Of milk are
rejected and the rest drawn into q
sterilized vessel, which is Immediately
covered. heated to proper tempera-
ture and the milk passed through q
separator The skim milk thus OBJ
tained is set aside in a covered ster-
iliZed vessel TO sour. When well
soured it serves as Il starter for the
cream-opening process. In conclusion,
the professor observes that the use
Of any kind Of starter will not make
good butter out of poor cream.

Suggestions For Flowing.

When the plow is hard to hold it is
safe to say that it is hard work for
the teams to draw it. This may be be.
cause of roots or stones, in which case
the cause is obvious, but if not some.
thing else is wrong. and the cause
should be found and the trouble RENE
died. Is the point Of the plow dull or
the cutter that is used in front Of it
in sward land? 1t would be cheaper
to get new plow than to wear out
plowman and team with plow in
poor condition. But quite as often we
have found the trouble to arise from
the line of draugLt not being right.
1t would seem that any farmer should
know if his plow run her nose into
the ground" so that he found be had
to bear his weight on the handles, or
pulled out so he had to lift on it to
keep it in, or whether it took too wide
a furrow or too narrow a one, and
should know how to remedy it, yet we
have known a farm hand to work all
day with plow when he was putting
out more strength every hour than he
would have used in days work with
the same plow after he had hitched
the team properly. And the team was
as tired as he was.-The Cultivator.

The CIay-Colored yyeeylI.

This insect causes injury to peas,
beans, turnips, kale, vines, raspberries,
apples, plums, elms, etc. It feeds upon
the leaves and also the wood. The
larvae hatch from eggs which are de-
posted in the ground and live through
the winter, and as the adults make
their first appearance during the
months of May and June now is the
time to get the best Of them.
1t is recommended that the weevils
be Jared from the plants which they
infest and be caught by means Of
tarred boards or other receptacles.
Against the larvae the following spray
was found effective: Carbonc acid and
water in the proportion Of one pint
of crude carbolic acid to ten gallons
of water.

materials. More elegant than the en-
tire lace dress is that encrusted with
medallions of lace. 1t is more elabor-

Driving Fence Post.

1t undoubtedly saves good deal Of
hard work when building fences
where posts are required to sharpen
the end of the post and with a huge
wooden beetle drive it deeply into
the moist soil in spring as far as pos
sible. But the plan has also its dis
advantages, which are developed af-
ter q year or two, when frost lifts
up the post every winter, so that If
the top of the fences be heavy the
post is soon in tumble-dOwn condi-
ton. The failure Of the driving down
plan of setting the post comes from the
fact that usually the post is only
driven down to the depth of the an
nual freezing in winter. When it
comes to the "hard pam" where frost
has not penetrated before, the post
cannot he driven farther. It's point
turns up or the top of, lne post will
be split by the severe pounding it
will receive. Yet unless the post is
set deeper than the frost will penetrate
it is very difficult to make it stand
erect until decay has done its work.
In q soil where there is a deep un-
derdrain posts may be set nearly to
it's depth by driving, and remain firm
so long as the post lasts. The plan
is to either build pile of earth around
the post so as to turn the water away
from it, or to bore hole through the
post somewhere near the bottom, and
drive q wooden peg the size of the
hole through it and sticking out OH
either side o far as the post will
allow. On this peg set a three-cor-
nered block that can be nailed both
to the peg and the post. This makes
additional obstruction for the frost
to lift, and if the water has been
turned away from the post, and can
get off through the undcrdrains. the
fence will remain firm as long as the
post does not rot. When it does rot
it will most likely be at the surface,
for there the changes Of temperature
and from wet to dry arc more frequent
than they are deeper in the soil. In
most post fences the part above
ground is much longer than that be-
low. 1t sometimes pays to take Zip
post and board fences that have been
long in the ground. AMI after putting
some diluted c;irholic acid Oh parts
that have dccayed to prevent further
progress. set them with the top part
in the soil. Ii this top is we'll dried

bolic acid before being placed in the

Inereasinc the Farms Value.

The value of farm is sometimes in
creased twofold 10y giving 1t an at

string to purchase farm will pay
more for one that has been well kept

the owner has given but little atten-

along highway will give a second
glance at farm with nicely moved
lawn and whitewashed trees. while

the appearance Of being new. A home
is also more enjoyable when the own
