While 1t only seemed 10 speu ulsas-
ter to the cotton industry of the south
when it first put in an appearance, the
cotton boil weevil may come to be
viewed as a godsend If the results of
It's inroads prove the same in other
states as they have been in Louisiana.
As a result of the damage by this pest
the yearly revenue from the cotton
crop in the state has been reduced
from $5O,OOOOOO to S15,OO0,0OO. but in
about the same interval, as a result of
adoption of better agricultural meth
DDS, crop rotation, drainage OF low
lands, etc, the annual value Of the
corn crop of the state has increased
from $5,OOO,OOO to SEQ. 900. 900, the cash
returns from growing corn being more
than twice that secured from cotton.
1t is TO be hoped that the experience
Of other southern states with the boil
weevil may in the end be as pleasing.

ing OF course it goes without saying
that the type OF farming followed is ut
once the roost intensive as well as
usually the most profitable. The farm
in question contains forty-two acres, a
considerable portion of it being devot-
ed to pasture. There were kept on the
place twenty-five milk COWS, three
head of yearling stock, four bulls and
two draft mares. The receipts includ-
ed 50, 1883 from the sale Of cream
and milk and $1,134.27 from other

penditures were $53T.36 for grain,
S3J643 for forage and 5000 for labor,
or a total of 81 1881 This leaves a
net income of $1,S76.7S, which is a
good notch above the net income from

 One day Mrs. Gastrel set little girl to repeat to him Cato's soliloquy; which she went through very correct 1y. The doctor. after a pause. asked the child. What was to bring Cato to an end ?" She said it was a knife. ''No, my dear, it was not so.'' My Aunt Polly said it was knife" :" ''Why. Aunt Polly's knife may do. but it was a dagger, my dear.' He then asked her the meaning of ''bane" and ''antidote,'' which she was unable to give. Mrs. Gastrel said. You cannot expect so young a child to know the meaning of such words.' He then said, My dear. how many pence are there in sixpence?' II cannot tell. sfr,'' was the half terrified reply. On this. addressing himself to Mrs. Gas trel he said. '.Now. my dear lady, can anything be more ridiculous than to teach child Cato's soliloquy who does not know how many pence there are in sixpence?''
