Mr. F. Faudal sold to the I Sutcher' Moore Cypress Company, e Limited, for the sum of $80,000 his o large sawmill near Gib-on and 12,0(0 L acres of cypress swamp land. With i the exception of 3000 or 4000 acres c situated in the adjoining parishes of SL.sfourche and Assumption, the land ' sold by Mr. Faudal is in this (Terresive I monne) psrish. Another extensive e laud .teal was recently made on Bay a ou Chacahoula, above Gibson City. r Mr. Jules D'Eschaux sold his saw ' mill and 6000 or 70(0 acres of f tl swamp land, for the sum of $56.500, to a cormpany composed of Messrs. t . ,hJh DIbcet. Willinam II. Stark and Edgar W. Biown. The purchaseis r are residents of Orange, Tax., and Y Lutcher, La. Some years ago these swamp lands i we.re purchased by Messes. Fandal C and D'Eschaux at the insignificant B price of $1 and $1.50 per acre. The prices recently paid gives a fair idea , of the way in which that class of property is enhancing in value.-T. D. iil's Eulogy On Lee. The '.Lost Cause" makes the fol. lowing rextract from an address de livered by Senator Ben Hill before the Southern Historical Society at , Atlanta, February 17. 1874 : '.When the future historian shall Scome to sulvey the character of Lee, he will find it rising like a huge T I mountain above the undulating plain of humanity, and he must lift his j eyes high tiward heaven to catch its summit. He poese-sed every virtue n of other great commanders without their vices. He was a foe wi:hout hate ; a friend, without treachery : a Sv:ctor without oppression, and a victim without mmururing. He was a pub litc otfficer without vices; a private t, citizen without reproach; a Christian e without hylwrisy and a man without w guite. He as a Caesar without his Sambition; a Frederick without his . tyranny; a Napoleon without his selfishness, and a WashinIgton with a out his rewd. He was obedient y to authority as a servaut, and loyal an authority as a true king. He was Sgentle as a woman in life; modest and pure as a virgin in thoughts; , watchbful as a Roman ve-tal in duty; ce submissive to law as Socraets, a d gt and in battle as Achilles !" C. A sarcastic exchange gives its redlers this information as to the lest n. way to deal with trusts: "Boycott Sthe trusts ! Boycott the steel trusts- be honest. Quit the acap trusts-go ,lirty. Boycott the tobacco and chewing gum trust-chew the rag. Quit the sugai trust-don't get sweet ,n anylboly maleor female. Boycott the match trust-don't get married. SQuit the whiekey trust--lriuk butter 4 milk and catnip tea. Quit the oil trust-go to bed at dusk. Boytott Sthe coal trust-the next world will be hot enough to m:ake up for any chilliness in this one." A loy's Essay on Hornets. A hornet is the smartest bug that flies. He comes when he pleases, Sand goes when he gets ready. One way a hornet shows his smartness is by attending to his own business, and making everyhody who interfer. es with him wish they had done the same thitg. When a hornet stings a fellow he knows it, .Ald Ie\ tr 1to; s t::'.'n about at as long as his friends w;;l Isten. One day a hornet stung ,oay pa (my pa is a preach, ) on the nose, and he did not do any pastoral visit ing for a month without talking about the hornet. A Oonter Shot.

Pettigrew of South Dakota, a providing for the removal of all tariff a duties on articles made andl coutroll. ed by trusts. This resolution wan a offerred to a committee, but nothing has baen h.eard of it rince then and nothing will be reported as to its fate. It will never be presented to the Shnat:', for the reason th:at the IRepublican party created the trusts e and d ire not antagonize them, and , thus cut off the source from which ti they delive their supply oI campaign e fouls." t 'Ilhe f.e.bile dleclaration against I iruIat containiet in the platform of 0 tle Republican conventi.u in Ohio shows how comnpletely that party is b hound to the trusts. There is no a danger whatever that the challenge t of the New York World will be ac- s cepted by the administrasion at t Washington, but on the contrary the f Pettigrew resolution or any other ' legislation the purpose of which is to regulate and restrict the operations of trusts will nuºt he permitted to get through Congress. as long as William A McKinley o.-cupies the presidential I chair and has a majority in the House and Senate to do his bidding. The tariff is the mother of trusts and the Republican party is The daddy.- States. I The Westlake Herald remarks : Capt. C. T. Cad,, erstwhile Rep. fuse candidate for Secretary of State in Louisiana, and the doughty gen tleman who was going to lead an I "armed force to the ballot box," has returned to his ranch home in Texas. Every now and then some one asks us to explain the difference between ammonia and nitrogen as printed on fertilizer tags, says Rural New Yorker. Nitrogen Is one of the elementary sub stances. Ammonia Is nitrogen mixed with another gas called hydrogen. Hy drogen has no value as a fertilizer. " Nitrogen is 14 times as heavy as hy - drogen. Ammonia is a mixture of one part of nitrogen and three parts of hy t drogen. A pound of ammonia, there fore, contains only 13 1-5 ounces of I available nitrogen. You will see that a fertilizer contains 2 per cent of nitro gen it would naturally contain nearly e 2% per cent of ammonla, because all C the nitrogen would be combined with a 8 certain amount of hydrogen, and thus s give more weight Pesbaps we can e make a practical Illnstration by com t paring wheat flour and bread. - Every t body knows that, so far uas food value is concerned, we would rather have a pound of flour than a pound of bread, because the bread contains not only Sthe flour, but water, salt and other e things which are not true food. Let s n say that a pound p flour would make il 1% pounds of bread. A baker might s ay, "Here is a barrel of floar, weigh Slug 196 pounds, which represents 294 pounds of bread." No man would say that 196 pounds of bread contalin as Smuch food as the barrel of flour. The t difference, therefore, between nttrolea I and ammonia Is that a pound of nltro b gen Is all useful as plant food. whereas t only 13% ounces of ammonia are worth anything to the plant. d H1i, Pree orf meIt. The prediction made last spring ad summer that there would soon be a dearth of cattle and swine oin this coun le try seems to be realized If the advane t Ing prices of meats are any Indlcation, I writes E P. Smith In the Boston Culti vator. It Is not always that advances in the retail prices of meats benefit the Scattlemen and farmers, but they should itf matters are rightly regulated." * The producers of cattle should retfsen it to sell if they cannot share in the ad t vance In prices, especially In a year j. like this, when there Is none too t many In the country. In cattle ralisng il fotr market breeders should keep ln mind the fact that they practleially control prices If they but co-operate. i The smal breeders are of course at the 1 mercy ot the large ones and must let their eattle go for the prices that the largeonessellat. The breederwhoraises a thousand head of cattle can on gen eral principles sell his cattle at less per pound and make a profit than the faim t er who raises a dozen. If oea under 5, stands his business. It is easier to con ze duct a large cattle enterprise than a is small one, and profits are correspond , Ingly more satisfactory. Quick profite r- and many of them should be the motto of the breeders today. Good times may not last long. but while they do we should make the most of them.

Mllions of dollars' worth of fruit an nually goes to waste because in its marketable state, when green, the mar ..et is glutted, says The Agricultural Epitomist. Evaporation would save much of this loss. Even drying in the sun is better than to permit the fruit to rot. The only trouble is that fruit hon estly evaporated on the farm Is com pelled to compete with sulphured evap orated fruit, which, though It may be Interior in quality, sells at the highest price because it is of brighter color. Some of the finest appearing evapo rated fruit will likely be found to have been treated either before or after evaporation with the fumes of sulphur, and it is probable that sulphur will be used as long as the eye of the consum er demands first to be satisfied. But with evaporators as cheap as they now are, and with a good market for such fruits during a large portion of the year, there can be no excuse for sac ricing any portion of the fruit crop. What the Best E*eers Do. Breeders generally would make mon ey by observing the practice of those who command the highest prices for their cattle, says the Tennessee Farm er. In the first place, they do every thing in their power to keep up the standard of their herds. In the next place, they never cheapen their cattle by offering cheap bargains. As a rule, with very rare exceptions, the very best bargain offered In any sale is the highest priced animal There are num bers of herds In the United States from which. In order to buy a choice calf, bull or heifer, one has to engage it be fore it is dropped. These are the herds whose practice It tehbooves the begin ner to study. Good For bhe Serb Cow. The best cow owned by the Kansas Agriculturateollege gave last year 9.116 pounds of milk and 354.7 pounds of butter fat. The value of the product for the year was 573.17. For the best month last year she gave 977 pounds of milk and 37.12 pounds of butter fat For the first month of this year bher milk yield was 1.250.1 pounds, which made 44.89 pounds of butter fat This is an Improvement over her best month last year of 2783 pounds of milk and T.77 pounds of butter fat, or 21 per ent.
