A Remedy Against Flies.

II never use window screens"
said wise housekeeper the other
day, "because 1 have fancy that
they shut out all the air in hot
weather, and beside, they serve to
keep the flies in the house equally
as we'll as to keep them out"
"But I never see fly in your
house." said her friend. "How do
you manage it? For my part, /
must confess, that screens or no
screens, my summer means to me
one long battle with the little
pests"
"My remedy is a very simple
one," said the good housekeeper,
"and 1 learned it years ago from
my grandmother, when 1 used to
watch her putting punches of la
vender flowers around to keep the
flies away. My method is simpler.
l buy S cents worth of oil of la
vender at the drug store and mix
it with the same quantity of water.
Then 1 put it in common glass
aromizer and sprag it around the
rooms wherever flies are apt to
congregate, especially in the din
ing-room. where I sprinkle it
plentifully over the table linen.
The odor is especially disagreed
BILE to flies, and they will never
venture in it's neighborhood,
though to most people it has a Pc
culiar fresh and grateful SMELL"
Il shall certainly give it a trial,

SATURDAY JUNE %, 1895.
THE COMUS CLUB.

The entertainment given here
last Sunday by the Comus Club
of Loreauville was a grand and
brilliant success in every particu-
lar.
The audience was select and
very large, in fact the spacious
hall was filled to its fullest capacity.
The music was good and the pro-
gram, long, varied and very en-
tertaining. The singing was good;
the plays, French and English
were well interpreted by the ar
tist-amateurs who took part in the
different roles, and rendered in a
very creditable manner. The ia
bleaux was exquesitely beautiful
and lovely, the grouping and pos
ing of the subjects were perfect,
and the light intelligently mana
ged. The entertainment as a
whole and in detail was a CON-
plete success, much better than
we expected from so young an Or
ganization, and composed entirely
of home talent.
After the entertainment which
was late in the night, grand ball
followed, and without regard for
the warm weather, many of the
young people tripped the light fam
tastic toe until the hour of three.
Our people speak in high praise
of our friends from Loreauville,
and their visit here was one of
great pleasure, as it afforded them
the opportunity of makidg acqua-
intance with the people of our lit
tie sister town. We trust that our
people will visit Loreauville when
the occasion will present itself,
and that our friends of Loreau-
vile will not let this be their last
visit.

TRIPLETS.

The latter part of last week a
colored woman named Philomene,
residing on the plantation of Mr..
G. W. Bancker, three miles east
OF town, gave birth to three chill
dren, one boy and two girls. The
children who are about twelve
days old are full of life, vigorous
and healthy. and will all live if
properly fed and cared for. The
parents are very poor negroes and
may not have the means to pro-
vide wholesome food for the little
trio unless some charitable peo-
pie come to their assistance.

Alfalfa for Louisiana.

In reading some articles on the
meat supply of London T, learned
some facts that might be of inter-
est to the farmers of Louisiana.
The principal supply of live cat
tie for the London market comes
from Scotland and the United
States. But lately the Argentine
Republic sends a considerable
number of live cattle, and the
number is increasing rapidly. At
first their meat did not compare
favorably with the corn fed cattle
of the United States, but now they
are sending cattle fattened on al
falfa, which at once became popu-
lar with English butchers. Incl
dentally, it added that the alfalfa
crop was of the highest impor-
lance to the Argentine grazing.
Though alfalfa can be grown in
all parts of the republic, it can on
ly be grazed on extensively with
out irrigation in one favored dis
trict, in Santa Fe, extending into
Cordoba. an area of about 10000
square miles. In this exceptional
region cattle can be turned into
the alfalfa fields and fattened
there year after year without in
juring the pasture, which requires
no manure, irrigation or artificial
assistance of any kind. In other
parts of the country farmers have
to NOW their alfalfa and make it
into hay, as the tramping of the
cattle would kill it in a few years.
The discovery of this alfalfa dis
trict is of recent date. For long
time people would not believe it
capable of raising anything, as
the land was considered of the
worst in the country, hardly able
to raise a few lean creola cattle
and goats-a dry sandy country,
while alfalfa required the deep,
rich black soil of the province OF
Ayres. Still, this semi-desert,
which will not grow any kind OF
useful grass, will grow alfalfa in
the most abundant fashion, almost
without blowing the land, and
mere scratching it, after burning
off the scant pampas grass. The
explanation probably is that in
this loose sandy soil water is found
at an average depth of twenty feet
and the deeply penetrating roots
of the alfalfa find their way to it
and makes the plant Independent
of rainfall or irrigation. The al.
falfa, if preserved from cattle, will
The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1895-06-22

give five cuttings, aggregating
about twenty tons per acre, but in
such case the farmer must be with
in a reasonable distance of q river
port, otherwise the railroad frei-
gifts would take all the profit, hay
being only 81 so in Rosario and
SO in Buenos Ayres.
Now, as to Louisiana. Might not
some of the sandy soils of the Flo
rida parishes, where water can be
found at moderate depth, or the
prairie lands of West Louisiana,
be found suited for alfalfa?
Though alfalfa has been grown in
Argentina for generations, the dis
covery of the most suitable land
for same is of recent date.
If lands such as those in Argen-
tina can be found in Louisiana, it
would render us independent of
the West for hay and beef. And
land that now cannot be sold at
S. an acre would easily bring $40
to $50. Owners of land where the
conditions are somewhat similar
ought to try the experiment, as
the cost would be trifling, and if
successful would make their lands
the most valuable in the State.
j. d. M.
The State experiment stations
have conducted persistently in
various portions of this State with
alfalfa, and fountl that in nearly
all of the alluvial belt, running up
the Red and Mississippi valleys
to the Arkansas line, alfalfa can
be grown with great success. Up
on the best lands of the bluff and
prairie sections it can also be
grown. At Audubon Park; New
Orleans, may be seen a large plat
of this plant, which has. already
given ten crops of hay since il
was planted, October, 1894. It is
quite largely grown around New
Orleans and Shreveport. Capt. J
NJ. Foster and Mr.. Stringfellcv
have both extensive fields of it II
the Red river section. Its growth
and adaptibility to our soils is al
ready fully determined. Ligh
piney-woods soils will grow it
even after fertilization and inocu
lation. -Times-Democrat

THE GANG AT WORK.

Information has reached us that
Tuesday night the gang that in
fest Breaux Bridge and its vicini-
ty have again given evidence ST
their coward brutality by unmer-
cifully beating and whipping an
old negro who, if our information
is correct, was guilty of no other
otfense but offering his hand of
friendship to one of the white men
who was with him and other ne
groes in a grog-shop.
That white man who happened
to be with the negroes in a grog-
shop got offended because a ne
gro rendered him his hand, if he
was 80 prompt in resenting this
so-called insult, what was he do
ing with the negroes in that shop?

gang exist in the neighborhood of
Breaux Bridge that is a blot, a
shame and disgrace to the name
of that town, that bring upon them
