AS to the Hessian Fly.

The Hessian fly is a German product
which was conceived in iniqulty ana
horn in sauerkraut. 1t is long, ransy
fly with a bite like steel trap, and 1t
LAYS a pale blue, oblong egg at the
rate of 10000 an hour. The Hesslah
fly will eat anything from decayed
custard pie to a glass inkwell, but Its
favorite dish is the double neck OF a
fat gent. This bird can perform a
two-step on sticky fiy-paper without
crooking it's toes, and is proof against
rough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and
a strychnine hypodermic. No Hesslan
hv was ever known to die of anything
but old age, which accounts for the
color of it's whiskers. If it ever las
tens upon your jowl, it will stay until
removed by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Two years ago it was thought that
cotton farming in Natchitoches was
out of the question. In his letter Oh
conditions today, Mr.. Hill says:
Our plantations have been con-
verified into hay fields, cattle and nos
pastures. Where before not enough
corn was raised to make meal ioF
the place, to say nothing about the
feeding of stock, every barn ana CID

before the farmer turned MS stocN
in his field and let them destroy anu
trample down worlds OF peas anu
pumpkins, he is now gathering them
and pulling the vines for hay where
before he bought all his meat from
tho hacking house, you will find he
has a pasture full Of fine stock, ana
on Saturday, instead of issuing "a
tons of Chicago bacon, he is selling
his negroes fresh meat at ainloS'
half the cost of bacon.

A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her

of the trouble. She writes:
"My heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
| would never breathe again.
"The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness Of my heart. He
said I must stop it, but it seemed
