bering from three to five hundred
head, and which not only thrive
but afford considerable profit to the
owners from the wool sold; to-
which purpose they are exclusively
devoted. The ground of that see
ton is high, and sheep are COM
paratively free from the diseases
which affect them ON the low lands.
They seem to winter well in that
wooded section without shelter, the
pine forestaafording sufficient pro-
lection. The mutton raised on
the pine woods grass is of better
flavor than that raised on our COM
mon grass, though mutton fattened
on Bermuda grass has the most
excellent flavor. Formerly wolves
were very destructive onathe sheep
of the piney wood section, these
animals being harbored in a big
thicket at the head of the Darbone
and Cocodrie streams. The Wat
=lSins Rail Road however has tra-
versed that thicket, and brought
settlers to 1t, which drove away
the sleeps mortal enemy, and now
there is fine field for successful
sheep raising, both for wool and for
mutton in the North Western por-
ton of our parish. Many hundreds
have been shipped from that sec
tion to Kansas City this sea-
SON for mutton. Sheep may be
raised successfully in all other
portions of the parish, but only in
small ffocks, and by being given
shelter during the wet spells DUR
ing winter. While sheep raising
cannot be profitably carried on in
our parish to produce wool for mar
ket except in the pine hills section,
sheep may be successfully raised in
small focks everywhere in the
parish, as a meat crop.
There Is a constant demand for
good mutton in our town and the
other towns in South West Louis
lana, but the supply is poor in
quality and totally inadequate in.
quantity. Good mutton Of fair size
can readily be sold in our market
atretail at the rate OF three dollars
per head, a very remuneratiye
price considering the small cost Of
sheep raising.
They can be easily fattened for

\ Nip crops, all Of which can be

and fattening for market. All of
our farmers nave some pasture
lands, and if they were generally

of sheep, the aggregate result
would be an abundan6 supply OF
good mutton on the farmers table,
and for our town market, and a
very material increase to the meat

ing population.
The next important subject to De
treated is cattle raising, branch
OF industry to which St. Landry IS
exceedingly well adapted, both by
reason OF the climate, the natural
grasses produced, and by reason
of the ease with which all sorts OF
food crops for stock may be raised.
Formerly stock raising was con-
Quoted altogether by suffering the
cattle to range in large herds, but

The lady then handed him Gurton'S letter.
 Tallon tore open the envelope and ex- tracted the postal order, and finished up by tearing the letter in pieces. He went In the saloon of August Funke on Fifth avenue and asked him to cash the order Funke gave him the money, and he went into barberS shop next door to get shaved. Funke got suspicious that there was something wrong with the order, and stepped into the barber'S snop. He made Tallon return the SIS and kept the order. meantime notifying the police. Policemen Morris and Kissane arrested TalIon and took him to the prison.
 Tallon did not deny trying to cash the order, but said he found the letter on the street and thought there would be nothing wrong in opening 1t. He has been twelve years in the army. and was soon to get his discharge and over $12O0 back pay due him. He does not seem to realize that he has committed any crime.

COCKER SPANIELS
 ARE IN DEMAND.

The Pacific Coast is in fair way to be regarded by the Eastern dog-breeders as a paradise, though Western buyers are not by any means allowing their feathers to be picked without receiving value In full F. c. Plunce has just bought a cocker spaniel bitch by Homo, out of Baby Ruth, which bids fair to rival even H. H. Carlton's far-famed Trilby. Be- tween these two gentlemen an amicable rivalry exists which seems destined to last forever, for as fast as any good cocker makes its appearance In the East one or the other snaps 1t up and brings II out here.
 J. F. Norman, the secretary of the last convention of kennel clubs, has sent to the American Kennel Club the report of the convention, which ended in a farce, with proxies outweighting the votes of five others unprovided with these desir- able adjuncts. MT. Norman has also for members of the minority, urging the A. K. C.. to amend the rules so that five for championship. and that wins in that class be not counted as regular class wlns.
 H. H. Carlton. secretary of the San Francisco Kennel Club, has received an unofficial letter from A. P. Vredenberg, who fills a similar position for the Ameri- can Kennel Club, to the effect that the concede any reasonable demand of the Pacific Coast. It Is probable that the rules will be amended as requested by the minority at the late meeting and that San Francisco will be designated as a cham pion show In this event it will be neces- sary for a dog to win at least once at this show in order to be eligible for champion ship honors.'

The managers of Union Coursing Park are determined to stamp out the dog job bers, and in future a close watch will be kept on the destroyerS of coursing, who resort to any means to win money. There are people who attend coursing meetings not for the love of the sport but for the money that they can pocket by fraud and base trickery. The doping of dogs has become quite an industry of late with some vandals, and 1t is about time that the park managers teach the destroyers of coursing a lesson that they will have good reason to remember.
 It is not an easy matter to detect hound fiend in the act of shooting a dog, but whenever one of the kind IS caught the seVerest punishment 1mag1n- able should be meted out to him.

SALT WATER sPRINKLING.
Great Benefits to Streets Have Al
 ready Been Observed.

l.. M. King, superintendent of the street department work of the Merchants Association, is rejoicing because the municipal street department has begun sprinkling the streets with salt water, which has been advocated by the associa- ton for a long time. Upon the subject MT. King says:
 ''The city has at last made beginning in the use of salt water for street sprink- ling. The Street Department has ordered the macadamiZed blocks on Van Ness avenue, which Is sprinkled at the city s expense, to be sprinkled with salt water instead of fresh. A standpipe has been erected at the corner of Van Ness avenue and Geary street, where the main of the Olympic Salt Water Company crosses the former street.
 Although salt water has been used only since last Friday the good effect of its use Is already very evident The macadam is binding together and the pavement on the blocks below McAllister street is already packed hard and smooth. In a week 8 time dust will be unknown there for even the loose dirt accumulated along the side of the street Is kept in a moist con dition and becomes too heavy to be blown about by any ordinary wind. It Is reported by the party doing the sprfnk- ling that two SprinklingS of salt water are more effective than three of fresh. The binding together of the macadam will also greatly preserve the pavement. The Supervisors have expressed themselves as favoring salt water for street sprinkling and the citizens will welcome the time when its use becomes general"
