the past Of two rainy seasons iH.
which the country suffered disas-
trously by Jupiter Pluvius 1t
rained every day from May 2nd,
I845. to July 3Ist, I845 the yield
of cotton that year was 2o8 pounds
to the mule and no corn. The
planters were worse off than now
because all investments were in
slaves.
May, June and July rains ruined
the crops of 1866. Cotton yielded
two bales per mule, but a good
corn crop was made. The cotton
boil worm or army worm was plen-
tiful in that year. The average
price for the staple was 26c per
pound, and price helped the losses
or reduced the losses.
Cold Springs Plantation has had
eighteen burrows on cotton and
corn-and pea lands were broke up
three times. Enough work has
been done or will be done by the
time the crops are laid by to make
two crops of cotton, corn and peas.
The Hermanville farmers are in
dustriously gathering all the pune
tured squares as well as the dead
ones and burning them up. Texas
holl weevil fighters have stated over
and over again that those who
gather and burn up the dead
squares until August 18th and
September Ist will make fair
crop even if their neighbors do not
do it.

Rev. B. F. Lewis, Columbia,
sends DR.. Dunbar Rowland, direc-
tor of Archives and History four
pieces of money issued by the West
Feliciana Railroad Company, at its
offices in Woodville, in 1892. Two
of these bills are of the $50 denom-
ination, one is for $50 and the 9TH
er for $Ioo. If for no other reason,
they are of historical interest as
showing photograph of rail-
road engine and train of cars of
that date. These are of no more
resemblance to the engines and
coaches of today than an ox-cart is
like the newest models Of autos.
This West Feliciana Railroad
was perhaps the first ever charter
ed by the State of Mississippi, and
that was by the Legislature of 1891.
1t was to operate between Wood
vile and St. Francisville, La, al
distance of 26 miles. But about
the same time, or shortly thereaf-
ter other roads. were under way,
and by 1870 there were 50 miles Of
railroad in the State-8oo hands
being at work on the Vicksburg
and Brandon, IA miles of which
had been completed east from
Vicksburg and 3-4 mile on the
Grand Gulf and Port Gibson. By
1855, according to the report of
New York, there were 2z8 miles of
railroad in operation in Mississip-
pi. To-day 54 years later, there
are nearly 1000 miles of standard
gauge railroad in the State, and

Many farmers have strong pre-
judice against farming by books.
That is, they are opposed to what
they call "book farming" or scien-
tifc farming. No doubt all book
farmers and scientific farmers make
mistakes sometimes-none of us
are perfect.
Some farmers seem to think that
science is not intended for the man
who follows the plow. They seem
to stand in awe of the word sci
ence. Now science just simply
means know-how. The farmer
who knows how to obtain the larg-
est and most economical yields
from his land and how to cultivate
the largest number of acres per
hand, and at the same time increase
the productiveness of his soil is a
scientific farmer.

seed may be continued indefinite
ly, and that consumption of green
feed lessons the danger of death
from feeding cotton seed meal.
In this trial the hogs were yard
fed during the hot summer season.
consequently they were under con-
ditions which made the trial as Sc
we're as possible. Under such con-
ditions fermenting cotton seed
meal does not entirely remove its
injurious effect when fed to hogs,
The results of this trial show
that forthe frst43 days of the feed
ing the mixture containing the cot
ton seed meal and corn gave larger
and cheaper gains than the straight
corn ration, while the second
period of 40 days the results were
reversed. This leads to the sug-
gestion that, to improve corn ra-
ton, it would be advisable to add
cotton seed meal to it for about 40
days, preferably for other reasons
also, during the last 40 days of the
feeding instead of the first.
The hogs that received cotton
seed meal as part of their ration in
this trial showed less fat and more
lean meat in the carcass.
The carcasses of the hogs that
received cotton seed meal, contrary
to the previously expressed opin-
ion of the packers, were firmer and
therefore more acceptable TO them
than those of the corn fed hogs.

Boil WeevlI-DO 1t Now.

Delay now is dangerous, and
may prove your ruin. The only
way to destroy boil weevils, is
found in our circular letter of last
week, dated June roth. Act upon
its advice without another moment
of delay. Hunt the weevlls, and
destroy them. Pull of the pune

Hared, withered, yellow appear

and burn them all.
Be untiring in your efforts, nev.

Remember the old adage Gan
OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS
WORTH A POUND OF CURE.
These terrible pests work early
and late, to destroy your crop,
your living. He who waits anoth-
er day may be lost Every other
class of agricultural work can wait,
but not the destruction of these
punctured squares, loaded as they
are with the very engine of cotton
crop destruction.
Within very few short days the
eggs in these punctured squares
will be changed by nature into
thousands of active, destructive

our worst enemy. Do it now, be-
fore your opportunities are gone.

you are overwhelmed with disaster
and decentralization.
From all the information gath

proceed. Therefore, straighten up

Hundreds of farmers may have

lies a source of great danger. NJ

The present remedy proposed
for destroying this, our common
enemy, and the work attendant t.
