Good Thing to Know.

Walter Sawyer, a professional fisher
man, says: Nobody need work ut dig
ging worms for bait unless he is fond of
the exercise, for they can be procured
in almost any quantity with very littl"
labor whenever they are needed. The
process is very simple. Take II strong
stick four or five feet long and sharp at
N end, and go to some locality, such
as the back of a barn, where the worms
are sure to be plentiful. Drive the stick
four or five inches in the ground with a
hammer or stone, and her begin to
twist it with a rotary motion. Every
few minutes list the top a rap to drive
the point further into the ground and
keep on twisting. In five minutes the
worms will begin crawling out of their
holes, and all you have to do is to pick
them up and put them in your eau.
They hear the grinding and think it is a
mole after them, and know that only
on the surface they are safe. SO they
come out, those Dearest to the sound
making their appearance first with ev-
idence of haste and trepidation. Some
times they come up from ii distance of
ten or fifteen feet from the twirling
stick, and in places where they are plen-
tiful, as many as a hundred can be lit
orally scared cut of the ground in this
manner Some people think a worm
has no sense, and they may be right in
general, but a worm knows shat a mole
is its deadIiest enemy, and will come
sQuirming to the top of the ground any
time it hears a mole coming in its direc-
tor.

The following, from the Lake Charles
Echo, js applicable to Opelousas. One
of OUT ordinances, however, provides
for the repair of sidewalks at the ex-
pense of owners of adjacent property in
case of failure of said to keep
same IN order, but it is a dead letter.
The committee on streets propose to en-
force it very soon, however. Although
our present ordinance does not go far
enough, we are glad to see that it is
about to be enforced.
Our contemporary, the Patriot, again
deplOres the condition of our sideN aiks
and crossings but is at a loss to suggest
a remedy. As we have frequently said,
the proper course to pursue is for the
city to build the crossings and pay for
the same out Of the street improvement
fund. Then let the city council provide
by ordinance for the building of the
walks at the cost Of the adjacent proper
ty owners, along the principal streets.
n the event that said property owners
neglect or refuse to put down the walks,
then lot the contract to the Owest bid
der, the cost thereof to be taxed against
the adjacent lots. In no other way will
we ever have walks. We would wait
Until the crack of doom before some of
the principal property u in this
CITY would ever expend one cent in m
provements until compelled to do so.
The plan proposed is n 6racticed in
every live and progressive town IN the
union. If the city charter does not
warrant the method suggested, the char

shreveport iiihcs.
While we have no particular desire to
disapprove of the results OF any Demo-
cratic campaign in Louisiana, we may
vet be pardoned, if we say that the pres
ent administration of Governor Foster,
has in many respects proved entirely
unsatisfactory to his OWN friends. lie
was pledged by his supporters to con-
suit the peoples choice in his nomlna-
tiops or appointments for office, and in
most respects he has not done so.
He has been influenced by the will or
pressure of a few men. and in making
his appointments therefrom has stulti-
fed his own pledges as given by his
supporters. -,
Up to date it cannot be %truthfully said
that the Foster administration has prov
en- a grand success. 1t has had no good
effect in promoting levee building, agri-
cultural or educational advantages.
With a glorified and announced sur
plus" in the treasury, Louisiana's edu-
cational facilities still plead for FUNDS.
Her broken levees dumbly appeal Tor
improvements, and can only cry LOT
help to Federal authority with any
n%rospect of recognition. Her overflow
ed districts hold out thu bony hand OF
Starvation, with a cry to humanity for
bread and yet it is blahdly announced
that there is a surplus in the treasury of
Louisiana.
Is thereq Then if this be the case
WIN is it not used for the relief of suf-
fering humanityg Will it be said the
governor has not the authority, per Sc?
Then why not call an extra session of
the Legislature-expensive it's true, but
necessary under some conditions.
If we have a surplus il the treasury,
why wait for two years for authority to
use it for our starving brethren in sew
eral parishes, ftr our educational and
levee interests In the first the matter
would not need to be acted on in that
space of time, it would have settled it.
self long before the regular session, and
the grim scyther save the Legislators the
trouble Of any further concern.
For education our children can, of
course, wait for ~furtlser developments,
while as to ~levees-well, there may be
one or two more overf1ows and disas-
tiers while this grand surplus remains
in the treasury, national help may be
asked and appealed for, but then this
matters little as long rs we can point
proudly to the fact that there is {" sur
plus in the treasury.
The present administration so far
seems to content itself with political
rewards, given without regard to tie
peoples choice, and now we ask if there
is a surplus in the Treasury, by what
F., right is it thereq Louisiana surely
needs thousands, yes, millions more
than she has, for various improvement
purposes, and the treasury has NJ right
to have a surplus when there are SO
many needs pleading for relief.

There has been il revolution in road
making in New Jersey since 1889. Ev-
cry road in the country was at that time
a succession of mud holes during a large
portion of the year. Now every n has
a hard, even surface. The work cest a
good deal, but money spent in building
good roads is we'll spent. A better in
vestment for the money could not have
been made there, nor could a better one
De made in any county of Missouri.
Gould every farmer have my expert
ence, good roads would be a thing of the
present instead of the future" says a
Bergen County farmer. "Tbe cost of
transportation between my farm and

| than it was over the old road. Where
| formerly a team Of horses would have
had hald work to draw a load weigh
ing a ton and a half they can now pull

That is the kind Of testimony every
farmer in Bergen County is ready to

An exchange says: Plant walnuts,
not sprouts or young trees, but walnuts ;
walnut timber is growing scarce and
valuable. Any body can plant from 100
to 1000 and they will add from 100 to
1000 dollars a year to the value Of his
land for the next 100 years. Walnut
timber has recently sold as high as $65
per tree. Plant in fence corners, in the
woods and in all sorts of out of the way
places any where. Plant them by scores
and hundreds. Just dig a little hole,
drop the walnut in hull and all, and COW
or it up it won't take half a minute to
each walnut. Each one will be worth a
dollar when it comes up, and a dollar
more every year it lives, to say nothing
about the nuts. Nothing would benefit
the country more than for everybody to
do this, and it would not cost a cent.
