Louisiana embraces within it's boun-
daries an area which Is, in its pres
ent condition, as useless to its people
as a corresponding area on the high
seas.
Yet, according to the Southern Farm
Magazine, this now worthless area,
something over 100000 acres. is the
greatest body of fertility In the world
except probably in the Amazon flood
plain.
The cultivated portion of the allu-
vial district south of Red River is to-
day supporting the densest agricultural
population In the United States--a
population of $50 to the square mile
of cultivated land, emitting entirely
the urban population of New Orleans.
Based upon what the alluvial lands
are now doing, the undTained lands of
Louislana-lands to-day wholly unoc-
cupied-are capable of supporting. not
counting the cities which would exist
there, over 100000, a population ex-
ceeding any one of the forty States O.
the American Union.
Holland, on an alluvial area (2,75O,-
600 acres) considerably less than one
half Of Lousiana's undrained area.
and with fertility not up to the
Louisiana standard, supports about 81
100000 people, and up to the highest
standard of Europe Holland is almost
synonym for wealth.
Beyond question, the drainage of the
remaining marshes and swamps in the
United States is the most important
natural development awaiting us. and
is sure to be done by the present gem
GRAFTON. Scores of drainage projects
are now actively under way, and thou
sands Of acres have already been
brought under cultivation with most
satisfactory results.
The production of these new lands
far exceeds that of the older cultiyat-
ed lands of this famously productive
delta, and, except where reclaimed BIZ
companies for the purpose of sale, they
are rarely offered at any price Here
the drainage movement is getting mo-
nentun, and 1t will not stop until
south Louisiana has become the rich
est agricultural community of its size
in the world.

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
Days of Financial Stress Make Far
Lands Look Rich.

Lands Look Rich.
A staff contributor of a Southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm of many who
had fOrsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says: 1T is a well-known fact
that the history of this government
shows that those men who have been
left their impress upon its people and
its institutions as statesmen, soldiers,
financiers, have as a rule been those
whose youth was spent on the farm,
and it is TO such as these that there
comes with overmastering power THE
CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially
does it come with redoubled persuasive
cess. greater power and sweeter plead
ing TO the man of affairs when the
clouds of financial unrest begin to dark
en- the sky; when the cry of panic
causes people to lose their wits and act
like stampeded cattle; when with rea-
son or without reason there arises be
fore him the specJer of ruin. grinning
in his face and waving it's gaunt armg
lin threatening gesticulati0n.
y The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now pass
ed. suggests these reflections. Some
We're ruined and very few became in
sane because of their losses. Two or
three took their own lives
1t is when such times come
that the statesman, the great finan-
cier, and the man of affairs becomes
tired of the struggle. He lays down
mis- pen, turns from his desk and
listens to THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases through
out the United States of those who
have money in the banks and are look
ing for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take
for instance, the lands in West
ern Canada that can be bough,
at from $40 to S15 per acre
which yield a revenue equal to and
often greater than their original cost.
these ldnuS make a certain invest
ment. During the past two months
large investments in these lands have
been made, some intending to use the
lands for farming purposes of their
own, others to resell to farmer
friends. The agents of the government
of Canada located at different points
throughout the United States have in
their possession particulars of districts
in which there are free homestead
grants of 16O acres. each accessible to
railways, markets. schools, churches,
etc. These are valuable lands. These
agents will be pleased to give informa-
ton to any DESTROYS of securing and
will tell all about the railway rates,
etc.

Green Forage for Hogs.

An especially timely bulletin has just
been issued from the Missouri Expert
ment Station by Dean III ". Waters,
giving the results of some experiments
to determine the value of different for
age crops for hogs.
Thirty-six pigs weighing about fifty
pounds each were fed in lots on differ
ent forage crops in connection with corn
until they were ready for market, accu-
rate account being kept Of the cost of
gains made. In cheapness of gains the
feeds used ranked as follows: Corn
and skim milk, cheapest; corn and al
falfa, second; corn and red clover,
third; corn and blue grass, fourth
corn and rape, fifth; corn and ship
stuff, sixth
dred in the cost gain was affected by
using green clover instead of fresh blue
grass. A saving of 81 hundred was
effected by using alfalfa instead of blue
grass.
When 1t is realized that alfalfa
comes on early and when properly clip
ped stays green all summer and until
the very hard freezes of early winter
its Importance as a hog pasture is APP
parent Clover yields more forage per
acre than blue grass, and as shown By
these experiments has much higher
feeding value. 1t is of the utmost i'm
pOrtance therefore to provide this sort
of pasture for hogs rather than to re-
quire them to run on blue grass pas
ture, or even worse than blue grass, n
timothy pasture, or even far worse
than this, to confine them in a dry lot
in the summer time.
This bulletin recommends a success.

Modern discoveries concerning the
origins of diseases have brought the lit

prominence that search has of late
years been made to ascertain if they
existed during the early geological
periods. Not long ago a French scien-

cOvery Of bacteria in coal A long con-
tinued research confirmed the evil
dence that bacteria were probably CO.

as a rule they belonged to species of
bacterial organisms quite distinct from

Trees and Lightning.

1t appears from the experiments of
a French scientist that oak trees are in
more danger than other trees of being
struck by lightning. Beeches, on the
contrary, are not good conductors OF
electricity. The danger of trees from
lightning is great in proportion to the
electrical conductivity of their wood.
Dead trees and dead wood generally
form much better conductor than liv-
ing growing woods, which offer greater
resistance
