CROP NOTES.

The torrid temperature Of the last
two weeks has been almost unbearable
and would be SO but for the cool nights.
which allow refreshing sleep and recu-
peration. The effect on crops is all
that could be wished, as it opens the
cotton rapidly, gives good weather for
saving hay and gathering the corn
crop. What rice remaining to be
harvested is being rapidly finished
and either shipped or housed. Cane
is beginning to mature, though growth
on fresh land is still pushing along.
Some houses have set day for the
opening Of the rolling season, October
18th being the earliest we have heard
Of. All of our crops with the excep-
ton Of rice seem to have done very
well both in yield and price. Cane
as higl, as a.. per ton
being paid. Cotton is selling At t2s to
e30 per thousand pounds In the
seed and while the wet weather and
worms will decrease the anticipated
yield, yet the output will exceed any
rear of record owing to large acreage.

THE PLAOUEMINE LOCKS.

/ We are apt in times of political ac-
| tivitv and excitement to allow some
most important matters to temporarily
he cas-, aside in fact to be almost for
| gotten. For months we have not
seen nor heard anything relating tn
the completion Of that most important
and very necessary public work the
Plaauemine Locks. Congress appro.
rated ample funds for the work. the
best of our civil engineers were en-
gagged. the work has been prosecuted
with most aggravating slowness and
with never ending series of obstacles
and delays In the meantime. our
commerce that will flow by this route
is subject to the rapacity of transport
alton companies who have no interest
in the early completion of these locks,
on the contrary everything they can
contribute to defer, delay, or confuse
is freely given and large district in
need of this great improvement IL
denied the use of the natural means of
transportation an entirely water route.
1t has been announced time and
again that the Locks were ready to
be opened only some insignificant de
tails preventing and vet we have de-
lay upon delay till the people hav e
worn out their patience and are de-
manding the reasons for this dilatori-
ness. We think that our Progressive
League should address circular
letter to all the organized bodies com.
mercial. financial, or industrial. in
the entire district requesting a united
petition to the Secretary of War. ask
ing that the work be completed as
soon as possible to the end that the
vast interests of the country may be
gu bserved

LETTER TO A. B. MURRAY,
NEW IBERIA LA.

Dear Sir: The cheap paint to
buy is the one that covers more
than you think; the cheap one to
wear is the one that Is young when
old.
Mrs. Moore, Of Kelsey, N. Y.
bought l6 gallons Devos to paint
for house two coats; her painters
said it would take that. Had 6
gallons left.
Mr.. James Ackley's house, in
Cairo (Catskill Aountains), N. Y.
was painted Devoe; it wore IA
years; and the paint was in good
then. He was going to
paint, the last we knew, though.
That's the way to preserve a house
repaint when there's no occasion.
Yours truly

The owner of a large ostrich
farm in southern California has
trained IA pair of these huge birds
to drive as he would drive horses,
hitching them to light buggy or
trotting cart which has in its design
a third wheel This is to prevent
the vehicle from turning over, 1t
is by no means an easy task to
drive such wierd team as you can
not pull up your "horses" by reins.
If you did it would probably result
in serious injury to the valuable
birds The only way to guide the
conveyance is to hit the offslde bird
on the opposite side to that which
you want him to go. Another OBJ
lection To this kind OF "borsen is
that # he should catch sight of a
bit of banana peel, or something
equally attractive he does not hest
tate to make dive sideways for
it, As ostrches go like the wind
and can make sudden dead stop,
the jerk the rider receives is not
"A pleasant one if a piece of orange
peel should happen accidentally
to meet the sye of his strange
"horses.

A WISE OLD FOX.
Puzzle to Hunters and Hounds
Alike.

A correspondent in Country Life re-
lates story of the cunning displayed
by a certain member of the Reynard
family. He says: I'm common with
other people who have looked after fox
coverts, l have often been puzzled by
the disappearance of well-known foxes,
and have become convinced that the
more intelligent foxes, after they have
been before hounds several times,
often turn their wits to account to
avoid being hunted. In small covert
that know we'll there was always a
fox. A fine big fellow he was. l have
more than once met him when taking
an early ride, as he loped quietly
b homeward after his nights fOraging.
He never seemed to mind being seen.
When the season opened he gave us
one or two capital runs, on the second
occasion only just saving his brush by
scrambling into an unstopped drain
in our neighbor's territory; after that
he was never to be found when hounds
came. Yet he was seen about as usual
at other times. One day, when walk
ing near the covert, one of the terriers,
who knew all about foxes, took line
to an old tree in the hedgerow and be-
gan to whimper and scratch at the
roots. A careful examination showed
nothing. The tree was not difficult to
climb; it proved to have a hollow
trunk. and there, at the bottom. was
my friend curled up fast asleep. His
mask smiles on me as l write. After
a seven-mile point. and on a good
scenting day he met his fate"
