The repairing of the sewer pipe in front
today. 1t has been tedious piece of work
but has been done in a substantial mannor
and will last for years. A brick chimney
10 feet high and five feet square has been
built and the bottom contains a foot OF
concrete on the top of which is fat
rock five feet square and foot thick.
The water running from the main sewer
pipe will fall on this durable, foundation
and pass out through the pipe leading to the
river. A new bank wall has been built. 1t
took 1000 bricks to build the chimney.

one of the strongest barriers to
education. At a session of the
state board of education last sum-

directed to send out a circular let
ter of inquiry to the police juries of
all the parishes, asking the amount
of criminal expenses and school ap-
preparations made by each parish,
as a means of showing the people
where their tax money went to and
how it was spent. Sixteen of the
parishes failed to comply with the
request, and five parishes gave
only the amount for school pur-

of criminal expenses. The follow

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder in Strength
and Value 20 Per Cent. Above II.
Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enVlable record of having received the
highest reward for articles Of it's class
~greatest strength, purest ingredients,
ost perfectly combined-wherever ex-
hibited in competition with others.
In the exhibition of former years. at
the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and
at the various state and industrial
fairs, where it has been exhibited.
judges have invariably awarded the
ttoyal Baking Powder the highest hon
ors.
At the recent worlds fair the exam
lnatlon for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts Of the chemi-
cal division of the Agricultural Depart
ment Of Washington. The official re-
port OF the tests of the baking powders
winch were made by this department
Tor the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, and which has
been made public, shows the leaven-
ing strength of the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
Of powder. Of the cream Of tartar bak-
ing powders exhibited at the Fair, the
next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches Of leav-
ening gas. The other powders gave an
average of III. The Royal, therefore,
was found 20 per cent greater leaven-
ing strength than it's nearest COMPETE
tor, and A per cent. above the average
Of all other tests. Its superiority in
other respects, however, in the quality
Of the food it makes as to fineness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for so many years, that lave caus-
ed the sales of the Royal Baking Pow
der, as shown by statistics, to exceed
the sales of all other baking powders
combined.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Fancy Now Means QuaFSfv.


The term fancy has been applied
| to class of poultry deemedE Of NO val
ue except to ornament the show reon.
but within the past year, says the Poul-
try Keeper, the term has been accepted
as one designating quality in, poultry
on the stalls. During the week. preeed-
ing Christmas the fancy" dressed
poultry commanded nearly. twice as
much per pound as the ordinary. This
may be but a trivial matter on, first con-
sideration, but when it is we'll looked
into the subject is worthy of more con-
sideration, for the prices are drawn
strictly on line which separates the.
market into good and bad and this
separation will become wider and wider
as progress is made in the breeds of
farm poultry. 1t plainly shows that
| IT the farmer is to succeed with poultry
his greatest profit must come by breed.
Ing the so-called fancy stock, and that
he cannot hope to successfully compete
with fan " stock except by making a.
speciality of fancy stock himself.
The fancy stock, as bred for market,
does not. however, depend for excel
lence upon the points of the comb, or
few feathers on the middle toe of a.
show bird, but upon the compactness
of body and the preponderance of
breast meat, the golden yellow color
of the legs. and the fat condition of
the bird when killed. In fact, the lat.
ter is very important portion of the
requirements, which even the farmer
knows is essential to obtaining high.
1J1f to
ceiling in other respects is something he
often overlooks. The true poultryman
makes it his object to satisfy the mar.
ket and he will MT be behind his COM
petitors in the use of the proper breeds
necessary to give him any advantages
that may be obtained in that direction,
for he must expect to please the GUS
toners if he desires the highest price.
If there are quotations for fancy
stock and other quotations for that
which is inferior, let the farmer pro-
duce only the fancy kind. There is no
monopoly Of any breed, and no one has
the exclusive right to the control of the.
market, and the farmer has an equal
chance with all. He must remove his
prejudice against the fine breeds, and
might at once cease the claim that
fancy stock is no better than any
other" for the prices refute his claim,
and prove conclusively that there is
not only difference, but great one,
and his prejudice effects no one as in
juriously as it does him. Let the farm
er keep fancy stock and he will get
fancy prices. Let him seek to produce
the best that can be placed upon the
market, and he will find profit result
ing instead of a loss. The man who
will not comply with the demands of
the market must be content to sell at
half price and incur the risk of. loss.
