old tablespoonful of oil cake is scalded
and added to the milk, which serves as
a substitute for the fat taken in the cream.
For the midday meal, beginning when
the calf is a week old, little dry bran
and oat chop is given. Fresh hay is
given as soon as the little animal takes
to 1t. Care is taken that the food is fresh
at every meal and is eaten clean. Milk
is stopped at 6 months. The feeding of
the bulls and heifers is practically the
same, except that bulky ration is given
to the heifers to develope size and a
roomy borrel, that being an important
point in a dairy COW. In the turnip sea-
son few pulped, sprinkled with the
grain ration, are fed. Corn stalks and
straw are cut and mixed with pulped
turnlps after being allowed to stand
awhile, are fed. Having laid tie foun-
dation in breeding, he begins with the
calf to make the future COW by d steadi-
ly followed method of feeding and hand
ling.
An unknown writer says: II have for
years been trying various ways to pro-
long the season in which fresh tomatoes
may be had after frost, and have settled
on the following as the best. The plan
may also be made matter of profit for
shipping, for have had the fruit in good
condition 1T Christmas, when the price
was 25c a pound. About the 1st of Ju-
ly 1 make cuttings, about foot long,
from vigorous vines that have made
smooth fruit only. After a good irriga-
ton these are set IN well-prepared soil
nearly their entire length. At this sea.
son the soil is so warm that they root
with greatest certainty, and l seldom find
that one fails to grow if the soil is moist
and we'll packed about the base of the
cutting. They are set at the same dis
tance as plants and are cultivated in the
same manner. These plants will begin
to ripen late in the fall, and will be full
of we'll grown fruit when frost arrives.
When the first light frost nips the foliage
the whole crop is gathered. They are
wrapped in paper, packed in crates and
store4in place where they will keep
cool, but will not be frozen. Any tight
clubhouse where the crates can be covered
with straw IN cold weather will answer.
For family use a few are taken out at a
time and put in warm room to ripen
for the table. We have them in this
way until the middle of January nearly
every year, in nice condition for slicing.
If grown in quantity for shipping they
should be overhauled from time to time
and the ripening ones rewrapped and
shipped up to Christmas, when the whole
lot can be shipped, as they will sell even
if not cclored, as they will soon ripen up
i n warm temperature, or. it may be
better to bring them into warmer place
to color before shipping"
One of the most essential points about
potato culture is to know how to pre-
serve the crop when you have raised it.
This is the m ore important with regard
to the seed potatoes, which have to be
kept from sprouting for a long period.
If buried, potatoes must be covered
lightly at first, SO as to permit of venti-
lation, and the covering added from time

ago, when it was the habit of those
living elsewhere in this section to
compare the silence of the tomb
to q busy day in our sister town
st. Mar tinville, and vicc versa.
This sort of thing is now past.
st. Msrtinville has since the last
few years awakened from her Rip
Van Wrinkle slumber and has
quietly, unostentaciously, but ef-
feotively put her shoulder to the
wheel, has pulled herself out of
the Slough of Despond and Inac-
tion and is now on the Highway
of Progress and Prosperity.
On Wednesday morning We re-
ceived a letter on tho envelope of
which was a request 70 return it
if not delivered to the "St Mar
tinville Board of Trade" In con-
tained posters, printed by the
Messenger, announcing q Grand
Bicycle Tournament and races on
the 2lst inst, with q Ball and Re-
freshments at night. The general
admission to everything will be 10
cents, and this entertainment is
given under the auspices of their
Board or Trade, aud tho proceeds
will go to the Carnival Fund.
This nesns that their Board of
Trade is hustling, and doing good
hustling for their Carnival Fund,
and that the next Msrdi Grss in
Evsngelineville will eclipse all
previous etforts-snd that is say
ing q good desl.s
The st. Msrtinville Board of
Trade is not al organization for
med last Monday for the purpose
of giving this entertainment TO-
morrow. It is several years old.
It has had for its object the an
nual parsdes at Carnival time, and
the manner in which they have
carried out their object each year
proves that the Board is an ear
nest, well-organized, enterprising
body, which is doing much to
build up St Msrtinville
Some years ago New Iberia had
| . Board of Trade. This Board had
several meetings, did what nine
out of every ten bodies of Ameri-
cans do when q few meet together,
and that is it passed resolutions.
It then seemed to be satisfied with
its work and died . death of ma
tursl stsgnstion as if there were
nothing more for it to do.
If there be q town in the state
where there is work for q Board
of Trade; if there be a town which
would be greatly improved by an
earnest Board of Trade; if there
be town where there is material
for a good Board of Trade, that
town is New Iberia.

peeared Wood Freed. Ant..

An amateur gardener has had great
deal of trouble, year after year. with a
certain bed in her flower garden. 1t was
so infested by ants that nothing could
grow there, but was invariably devoured
by the insects She tried every vermin
destroyer known, with boiling water and
other preventives, all without success
At length she found that portion Of the
outer boarding of the shed which stood
near this bed was decayed and needed
renewal When thee boards were taken
away, they were found to be alive with
ants, which, being destroyed, disappear
ed from her flowers, and she has had no
more annoyance from them Often ants
will get into the house closets and into
the food in the same way from some de
cayed wood near at hand, in which they
nest. If their source is looked up when
they come they usually may be unearth-
ed and killed.

INVESTIGATION NEEDED.

The charges embodied in the
resolution introduced in the house
of representatives by Delegate
Flynn against Secretary Hoke
Smith are serious enough to call
for an investigation by congress.
Mr.. FIynn's speech in support of
his resolution was sensational to Il
degree, but it is noticeable fact
that no one opened his mouth to
defend the secretary, and that the
only protest that was made was
that Mr.. Flynn's language was
unparliamentary.
Mr.. Flynn was not very careful
in his choice of words, it is true,
and he seemed to be more intent
on making his accusations than he
was in the manner in which he
made them. But it is Il serious
matter to publicly accuse cabinet
officer Of delaying the opening of a
part of the public domain in the
interest of relatives whom he had
appointed to office, in order that
these relatives might brOwbeat and
blackmail intending settlers. Mr.
Flynn declared on the floor of the
house that one man, claiming to
be a relative of the secretary, had
demanded ,, 700 to get the apprO-
val of Mr.. Smith on contract.
This is a specific and definite accus-
alton. 1t should not be passed
unchallenged. If employees OF
the interior department are using
their official positions for the
purpose of eXtOrtion, the country
has a right to know it. And il
the secretary is unnecessarily de-
laying the opening of the Wichit;
reservation the people ought tC
know that, too.
Neither congress nor the secre-
tary of the interior can afford tC
let the matter rest now. The
scandals connected with the settle
ment of lands in the Indian Terri
tory are notorious, and they should
be probed to the bottom. If tn,
secretary of the interior has been
maligned he owes it to himself tC
demand a vindication. Let II.

sAUCY SPAIN.

Some of the Republican newspapers are expressing the opinion that the firing on the Allianca by the Spanish cruiser was due to the fact that foreign powers have no fear of resentment by a Democratic admin istration. Attention is called to the fol- lowing cases of affront to the American flag by the Philadelphia Press:
 The Ellen Rizpah was boarded May 15. 1877; the whaler Rising Sun was visited and searched May 22, 1872. Tn March of the same year the Edward Lee was fired upon with 'sgrapeshot, canister and she'll" Ali these were dlsavowed," |" "regret expressed" q nd orders telegraphed from Madrid to the Gov ernor General of Cuba and spanish naval of- ficers to respect our lag and obey the pro- visions of the treaty of 1795, now just a cen- tury old, in which our vessels were protected from search or molestation except in case or war. Three years later, in l6S0, occurred the cases of the Merritt, Newcomb, George Washington and Haskell
 Again there were "disavo wals'' and ''re- grets," and the insurrection of Yara in IS 7S being ended by the pacification of Captain General Bianco in 1880. interference with American vessels has been less frequent; but it has been replaced by tedious interference with our commerce. For fifteen years illegal and onerous tonnage duties have been ex- acted. Harbor dues have been assessed con tfary to treaty. The equality of ags' pro- vided by treaty was fer years denied and delayed. Custom house regulations were en- forced with grevous pertinacity. American citizens have been imprisoned for trivial offenses, like Rev. A. J. Diaz, Baptist mis- sonary from this city, imprisoned six years ago for holding religious meeting.
 It does not appear that any offenses against American ships have occurred under Democratic administrations for the past thirty-five years until the occurrence of the Sth instant. Such outrages were frequent under Hayes administrations Spain is an old offender of the United States. In Pierce's administration the steamer Ell Dorado was fired on, and the President put a stop to that sort of thing by sending a fleet to the West Indies with orders to re- sist it by force. At the same time Secre- tary Marcy addressed such vigorous lan- guage to Spain on the subject that for time the insults to our flag were discon- tinued. A claim of the right of search by Great Britain was also vigorously resisted by Democratic administrations.
 When this government does resolve to give Spain good thrashing she will prob- ably add punishment for sins of the past. and demand the island of Cuba instead of empty and meaningless apologies. Spain needs a whipping.
