BRINE THAT WILL PRESERVE

Urine THAT WILL PRESERVE
BUTTER A YEAR.-Among the
many devices for keeping butter
in a manner that preserves the
fresh, rosy flavor of new, with all
its sweetness, is the following
from the Dutchess Farmer, which
is said to be entirely success
full:
To three GALLONS of brine strong
enough to bear all egg, add a
quarter of a pound of nice white
sugar and one Tablespoonful of
saltpetre. Boil the brine, and
when it is cold strain carefully.
Make your butter into rolls, and
wrap each separately in q clean
white muslin cloth, tying up with
a string. Pack a large jar full,
weight the butter down. and pour
the brine until all of it is submerc
ed. This will keep really good
butter perfectly sweet and fresh
for a whole year. B. Careful to
not put upon ice butter that you
wish to keep for any length of
time. In summer, when the heat
will not admit OF small Jars, and,
using the same brine, allow it to
cover the butter to the depth Of

A dark house is always an un

Want of light stops growth and
promotes scrOfula, ricketts,, etc,
among children. People lose their
health in a dark honse, and if
they get i'll, they cannot get well
again in it. These, out Of many in
stances of negligence and igno-
rance in managing the health of
houses, I will here mention as
specimens First. that the fe-
male head in charge of any
building does not think it neces
sary to visit every hole and cor
ner of it every day. Second, that
it is not considered necessary to
air, to sun and clear rooms while
occupied. Third, that one window
is considered enough to air room.

Onr community is called upon to mourn
the death of ono of its most esteemed citi-
zens.
Mathurin Bourg departed this life on
Wednesday morning at a quarter past four
o'clock in the early dawn Of his seventy
eighth year-haying been born March 2lst
1899.
Mr.. Bourg was much esteemed for his
good qualities as a man and o citizen. He
| was a gentleman of the old school, class of
men fast passing away, and OF WHICH we
can boast but of very few remaining. He
was horn in the Parish of Lafourche. where
on the 9th of November, 1922, he married
Miss APthemise S~inionDeaux, his present es-
Unable widow. This remarkable couple en-
j0yed the. bliss of married life for over a
half century, and, during which period. no
thing t%ranspired to maj their domestic fell
city.
Mr. BOurg was one of the early pioneers IF
this parish and has rendered her signal SER
vices in his day. As far back as 1890 he re-
presented her in the Legislature, and after
wards during an uninterrupted period of
| over twenty wears fulfilled the ard0us du,
ties OF Sheriff, of which he acquitted himself
with credit and to the satisfaction of his
constituents. Thi. long tenure of office would
have afforded a mine Of wealth to a calcuIa
ting man., but with the generous soul of
MatAurin BOurQ, he left it poorer than when

The whole amount distributed

S24326,7l, not including a sum
OF S2631,9l in the hantis of Mr..
}. +. Riviere at the time of his
death which was paid only in
part by his succession.
Under the new organisation
the amount Of stock subscribed
and paid was $7475,OO. The stock
under old the organisation, say,
S1S975,O0, reduced one half, to
$94S7, 80. makes an amount
S16962,5O, as the actual stock in
vested.
The Pillar is considered full
ly worth $4,000, 90, the brid &c
WAS built at a cost of $4,000, but
OF this only $7475,0O of subscrip-
ton was paid the remainder
being paid out Of the earnings of
the bridge.
The actual paid in stock may
therefore be set down at $16962,
81 representing a sumequal to
S21962 50. 80 that a share of SIS,
% stock actually represents a.
bout $4,000, which accounts in
part for the high dividends.

MATURIN BOURG.-The death
of this well known and venerable
citizen occurred on last Wednes.
day morning, March %, at Ii
minutes past 4 O'clock.
The memory of this truly good
man is 81 deeply lmpres sed upol,
the hearts of the people of this
parish, that it needs no eulogy to
commemorate the virtues which
adorned his character, and Sc
cured 80 great and affection from
all with whom he came in con.
tact in the multitudinous pn1
suits and actions of a long and
we'll spent life. About 40 years
ago be was elected sheriff of this
parish and was successfully re.
elected to that position for ~ or
"A years, when he voluntarily
retired from that Office. In 1865
he was appointed sheriff by the
Governor Of this state which DO
sitiOn he held until the f,s st cleo.
ton thereafter,
Previous to the war he was en-
gagged in planting, but has resided
all his lite III the Town of Thibo-
daux, at least since his youth, and
was at the time of his decease
perhaps the oldest resident of the
place.
Always unassuming in charac-
tel, social in his habits, dignified
in his department, he ever drew
around HIM a circle Of devoted
friends, and his house was free
and welcome to all who wished
to partake of it's hopitalities. Firm
and fixed in his own opinions and
v ews he sought not to enforce
them upon others against their.
own choice. but freely accorded
to all the rights which he claimed
for himself.
He had no children, but his
house has never been without
the happy voices OF those whom
he had adopted as his own che
rislling and raising them with all
the devotion and of a true ia
ther. OF a religious temperament
he was a frequent attendant at
the services of his chnrch, living,
mp to it's requirements and dieing
firmly in the belief of entering a
better world in the unknown tu.
ture.
He leaves an aged widow with
whom he has lived in the great
est harmony and love for 50 years.
May this great ALLEGATION De soft
ene'l by the power of Him who
alone can p0nr the balsain of re
lief upon a wounded aud stricken
heart!
He was buried in st. Joseph's
Cemetry on Thursday evening his
remains being followed dy an i'm
metice concourse of people, all ex
hibiting the evidences of sincere
grief at the loss of one whose
life has been for more than half
a century identified with the PEG
pie aud interests of this Parish.

Morning never dnWned on Il
bluer or more utterly cast down
community than ours on last Tues
day, for the dreaded event which
had almost ceased to be feared,
VIZ a freeze took place on Mo,,-
day night, Various opinions were
expressed as to the amount of
damage done. but as the hopes of
our planters had more than kept
place with the remarkable growth
OF the crops, the croakers were
tor a while in the ascendant; but
on close examination most plan
ters found themselves worse scar

several plantations which we
have personally examined is in
Jured below the surface, and with
favorable weather will soon show
as well az ever. The difference il
merely that cane which was O
than Il month anead of the s,.asou
10 now cut down and started Ton
time"

to joint II killed and will have to
be replanted. We fear that the in
jury was greater id I parishes
ABOVE, for here we escaped ouly
by the skin of our teeth.
