1t being furthermore notorious that the New
Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vlcksburg Railroad
Company has never built q foot of the road,
nor ever expended one dollar so far as known
for that purpose, and that the delay fixed by
Congress for the completion of the Road had
expired Years before any effort was made by
any company to build road through the lands
granted.
And, whereas we believe the road, now
claiming the grant was bought and built by
Jay Gould of the Texas and Pacific without any
reference to the grant and for the purpose Of
securing an outlet on the Gulf at New Orleans
for his Southwestern System.
Therefore, Be 1T ResOiret By the Police jury
Of the Parish OF st. Landry in session assem-
bled, That the confirmation of the above land
grant or the issuance Of patents therefore to

the public lands to a corporation without
equivalent. 1t would result in great injury to
hnnfreds Of poor people who have settled and
them justly forfeited to the government by
the notorious failure of the grantee to com.
ply with conditions of the grant, and we ear
nestly protest against the Issuance of the pat
ents or the doing of any act by the Interior De-
partment in furtherance of this claim.
Be it further resolved. That Hon. E. T. Lew

The term "handling stock" Is a technica
one more particularly applied to catlt
than other domestic animals, but prac
teal knowledge OF 1t, even in sheep and
swine, is considered important in England
by all breeders.
Numerous live stock exhibitions com
mence this month in various States OF The
Union, and they will continue to the last oil
November. In order for visitors to Judge
better Of the quality Of the animals sub
mitted to their inspection, think 1t is i'm
portant that they should know what hand
ling is; and although 1t is difficult to define
in words, will make the attempt, at the
same time suggesting 10 everyone who has
not practical knowledge OF 1t 10 get some
person who has 10 give him lessons direct
from the animals he Ia inspecting before
him. 1t Is this:
When the fingers are moderately pressed
upon the heshy parts OF an animaij
and the hair, hide, and especially the flesh
beneath have fine, soft, elastic spring, i
Ii called good handling; on the contrary, II
they are coarse thick hard, aud rigid to the
feeling, with little or no spring under the
pressure Of the fingers, that Ia called bad
handling. o. course there are as many
degrees In handling, from very bad to very
good, as there are grades Of animate. The
better an animal handles, the quicker IL
ieeds-that ia, the sooner 1t will mature
and become fully grown for the purpose OF
breeding, or too fat for the butcher, and a
good handler will do this at less consump-
ton OF food than bad one.
