ONE OF THE MANI GOOD RE
SUITS OF THE PRESS
CONTENTION

The Louisiana sugar planters have
long had many obstacles in the way of
their success and much opposition to
meet and overcome. Not the least of
these obstacles sprang from the fact that
the people Of the State, owing to the
great divergence of their material in
t~ercsts, were not as united as was de-
sirable Oh the tariff issue. Northern
Louisiana, if we may judge by the tone
of some OF its journals, was rather in
clined to free trade doctrines whereas
we of the south, in view of our vast
sugar and rice industries, are in for as
much protection as we can get.
But we have been misunderstood by
our northern brethren. While in favor
of protection, we recognize the fact
that the day for the adjustment of the
tariff is slowly but surely approaching,
and we only ask for an equitably adj
ijusted tariff, a~ffording the necessary
protection to our staple industries.
1t is with pleasure we see such a
valued contemporary as the Ouachita
Telegraph taking up our cause and
placing the situation in u strong light
before its many intelligent readers. II
the press convention has produced no
other good result than this, of ac-
quainting the intelligent journalists of
North Louisiana with the needs,
thoughts, hopes and aspirations of the
industrial classes of South Louisiana,
this were good work enough for one
session OF the good men and women of
the press.
OF the tariff, in SO far as it affects our
section, the Telegraph says:
1t in believed to be only q question of time
when cane will be the principal if not the
tiers. .
It is conceded that under fair conditions
cane is much more profitable crop than
rice -
Our friends of lower Louisiana impress one
with the sincerity of their conviction that
an equitably adjusted tariff is necessary for
the preservation of their industry. But
! their views are undoubtedly misunderstood
in North Louisiana.
They are not clamoring for a high tariff.
They are urging no unreasonable de-
mands.
The tariff is with us, and we cannot be rid
OF 1t so long as we have u large national
debt, ami so long as the treasury is annually
raided by the pension grabbers.
! Certainly no statesman will deny the inex.
pediency of turning, at this time. from Gus
toms to direct taxation.
i " OuIu anE man who loves Ic,,;,;,-,
merely for the sake of cheap sugar, have one
OF the chief industries Of the State crippled

portant industries OF the North and West /,

our CHOICE FOR CONGRESS-:
Andrew Price,
OF LAFOURCHE.
SATURDAY, JUNE 8. 1889.
OUR CHOICE-ANDREW PRICE.
OF

The death of the Hon. f. j. Cay,
representative from this third con-
g%ressional district, has cast Il gloom
OYER the whole district. During his
short political career he had made him
self very popular hy his nntiring de-
votion, zeal and energy in behalf OF
his constituents and endesled himself
to every one witt, whom he came in
personal contact. His death is in the
nature of a public calamity. inasmucii
rs it deprives the State of Louisiana of
an able. faithful and fearless champion
of her vital interests at IL time when
those interests need the most the valu-
able services of such u public servant.
But the third district, with whose in
terests he was so closely identified and
with whose wants and needs he was so
thoroughly familiar, will feel more
keenly his loss. and the Latourche
valley in particular may be said to be
the heaviest loser by his untimely de-
mise, as he had set his heart upon the
Improvement of the Lafourche and
fully mastered the problem in all its
details.
1t now devOlvcs upon the people of
the third district to select II fit success
cor to the hOnored dead. The time is
very inopportune for an election, but
this must not deter good citizens from
the discharge Of their full duty.
The Democracy Of the district has
abundant material to choose from, but
the greatest care and wisdom must be
exercised in making a selection. The
names of several prominent Demo-
Gratis have already been mentioned in
connection with the nomination. Some
Of these would no donbt make accept
able candidates under ordinary cir
cumstances, and nearly all deserve
we'll Of the people. At other times we
would most cheerfully endorse some of
those who have been spoken OF in con
uection with the nomination and lend
them our aid and influence.
But, under the present circumstan-
ces, it behooves the Democracy of the
district to put forward not only its
best man but its strongest. The gem
tleman whose naMe We tender to the
Democracy as our choice for the n0mi-
uation ma. not be better than all those
whose names have been used in the
same connection, but he is certainly
their peer and equal in every respect !;
and We do claim for him that he is the
strongest man the Democracy of the
district can put forward at this time.
Young and energetic, personally popn-
lar, well acquainted with the people
Of the district and their leaders, fully
~eonversant with their wants, needs,
hopes and aspirations possessed with
the vast political experience acquired
from his personal management of the
late Mr.. Gays three .campaigns-who
could be better equipped to carry the
Democratic banner to victory in the
approaching contest than Mr.. Andrew
Price, of Lafonrchey. And who better
qualified than he to take up the unfin-
ished work Of our much regretted re-
preventative where the latter left it
when he fell by the roadside Of life,
still in harness, like Il true man and
patriot

The device for hanging hogs shown in
the same cut consists Of three stout poles
about ten feet long, llattcned at one end.
with stout boit passed through all
t"rec. Place 2 hook on each outside
pole. about the right height for the
length of q hog. These hooks take the
place OF the old gambrel stick. After the
hog is attached to the hooks it is elevated
by means OF the middle pole or lever, and
the hog can be spread out as desired by
moving the two outside poles.

SAVING TREES FROM MICE.


Described.
As many farmers know, mice are often
destructive pests in orchards, and espe-
cially doyoung apple orchards suffer from
their depredations. In countries where
snow abounds, orchardists, as n rule,
depend upon trampng down the snow
around the trees for protection, and when
this is done directly after each storm,
there will he but little danger. But in
many sections other precautions must
of necessity be resorted to-
One of the surest safeguards against
mice in young orchards, says The Ameri-
can Cultivotor. are strips of tin or sheet
iron rolled in Gle form of tubes, having
them little larger in diameter than the
trees. Old tin cans used for packing
vegetables, oysters and meats can be
utilized for this purpose 20 good advan-
taee These should first be placed in
fire until tho solder which holds the
heads and fastens the sides is melted
Two cans riveted together with malleable
tacks will make tube of sufficient length
to protect tree. They can be kept in
the form of tube by means of n small
wire passed around them and the ends
twisted together.
Some orchardists depend upon poison
placed in convenient receptacles in differ
ent parts of the orchard, where the mice
will be sure to find them. One method
sometimes practiced is to take straight
grained by A spruce joist or scantling,
and with an inch and a half augur bore
hole about four or five inches in one
end, then saw the piece off an inch or
two above the point reached by the
augur. Place a quantity of corn meal in
which arsenic has been mixed in the
open end, then tack strip of shingle
wide enough to cover about one-half the
orifice across the open end to prevent the
contents from running out. Prepare n
sufficient number Of these to protect the
orchard, and place them among the trees,
elevating the solid end little, so that the
water from melting snow will not be re-
tanned in the blocks. These blocks should
be gathered in the spring as soon as the
snow is gone, and their contents burned.
The blocks can then be packed away for
another seasons use. They can be pre-
pared under cover during rainy weather.
Where mulch of straw or meadow hay
has been applied to the young trees dur
ing the summer, it should be removed
before winter sets in, as it affords ex-
cellent shelter for the little pests.

Many OF the technical terms used by
growers OF poultry are misapplied be-
cause not fully understood, The terms
cock and cockerel. for instance. are often
COMPOUNDED. Tho former is properly ap-
piled only to male fowl over one year
old, while cockerel is a name not appli
cable if a bird is a year old. Chick is
literally a newly hatched fowl. while
chicken applies indefinitely TO any age
under one year old. The term clutch is
properly applied, both to tho batch Of
eggs sat upon by a fowl and to the brood
of chickens Matched therefrom. The
word breed is used to designate any va
riety OF fowl presenting distinctive char
acteristics. Brood means the family Of
chicks belonging to single mother.
Broody is term applied to a fowl that
desires to sit or incubatc. A race of
fowls that have been carefully bred by
one breeder or his successor for a num-
Der Of years and has attained an indiyid-
ual character Of its own, is known as
strain The term puilet, designating
a Young hen, is not applicable after
bird is one year old. Rooster is term
for a cock or COckercl,

KNIFE.
The barrel or Cask so often employed
Is, for many reasons, poor affair in
which to sCald hog, and every one who
annually butchers swine ought to be pro-
vided with something less circumscribed
and inconvenient. An excellent scald
ing vessel, one which has been approved
by many who have tested it, is heavy
box, 6 or feet long, so inches wide at
the bottom, and 20 80 "a inches deep,
with sides somewhat flaring. When
this has a sheetiron bottom, it may be
set over a stone or brick foundation, in
which there is chamber for making
fire, SO that the water can be kept thor
oughlv hot for any length of time.
In the first cut here gwen are shown
butcher knife especially designed for
sticking hogs, together with device for
hanging the carcasses, recently de-
scribed by Ohio Farmer. The knife
may be made from an old file by any
blacksmith. The idea is to have the
blade broad and blunt at the point, so
that it will sever both veins at once with
out cutting from side to side, or turning
the knife around as some do. The blade
of this knife should be six inches in
length and one and half inches broad
at the point, with a small keen point, as
shown in the diagram. In the hands of
an expert it is only necessary to put the
knife in and out as quickly as possible.
1t is of sufficient width to cut both ar
teries once.

At the recent live stock show the num-
Der of cattle on exhibition was less than
usual, making in all 1G4 head. The horse
show was a very excellent one, including
the various classes of heavy horses,

and Shires were out in greatest numbers.
The cattle exhibit included ~ short
horns, % Herefords, 10 Devons, G Aber-

grade and cross bred animals. The grand
sweepstake prize for the best bullock in
the show was won by pure Aberdeen
Angus steer. This steer, Dot, was 1868
days old at the opening Of the show and
weighed $40 pounds. Sheep and swine
were present in less numbers than last
year. there being so head of the former
and 70 of the latter. The poultry exhibit
occupied $50 coops and numbered about
775 birds.
