Young Men, Read This.

N. o. City Item.
The following denotes the success OF
one of Louisiana's worthy young men,
and is published for the purpose of
stimulating others of our boys to Il like
manly effort. 1t is this class-and we
are glad to say they are many-to
whom Louisiana looks for attaining her
proper industrial position. Too much
praise a not be given to Tulane Uni
versity for its efforts in this direction,
that given being only n of the many
practical results of the Manual Train
ing School:
Frank E. Foster, the youngest son of
the late w. H. Foster, after finishing a
course in msG;;--:acs at the Tulane Uni
versity, was looking for work when he
received the job of taking in the floor
ing for Mr.. Robert Roberts cottage, on
Conery street and st. Charles avenue.
After finishing it the foreman told ION
he would try him at laying d noorinS
of the back parlor, bedroom and bath
room. Subsequently he was given the
lob of dressing the entire floor of the
house.
Summer before last, as we'll as last,
he received considerable lucrative work
at the sea shore camp grounds.
Mr.. Foster was to-day employed AS
foreman by Architect Sully for the Nor
ris building, corner of Canal and Camp
streets, where he is to superintend the
making of the mortar, see that the
foundation is properly laid, the walls
plumb and that the windows are placed
correctly, and he is to oversee the cree
ton Of this commerciallpalace.

up, and the assessment on it, with maps and

Time to Immigrate.
October, November, December, January
February and March, are the best months for
farmers 10 move south. This allows time to
make the necessary preparations for spring.
The farmer becomes somewhat acciimated
before the heat of summer.
A good crop of sweet potatoes, COW peas,
millet and vegetables may be made The first
season. Hay can be made in any quantity
and find ready market, netting the farmer
eight dollars per ton upon an average. Cows
can be purchased and milk sold at ten cents
per quart, where p arties Dire le~.ted near a
town. .
Butter usually brings from 30 to DO GETS
per pound-winter dairying would be a good
business.
Eggs average fifteen { uts per 1oz. Simply
because there are not enough small farmers in
the south.
The winter is Just the time to produce eggs
Car loads should be shipped north in Febru-
airy.
Society, Etc.
The people of Louisiana are kind and hospi-
table, and welcome immigration, especially
from the north. In no country is life and
property safer
The best element from the north is coming
by the thousands. People must not expect
school houses, churches, fruit orchards and
palatial farm houses already for the settler on
government land. The most of the country
is unsettled and one year since was govern
ment land.
Price of Land.
There is very little government land left.
In the hands of private owners lands range
from five to ten dollars per acre for farm pur-
poses. More at five than ten. Near towns
choice locations are werth from ten to forty
dollars per acre. Lots in the towns range
from thirty to one hundred dollars cach-in
Lake Charles from fifty to three hundred each.
