MANY SMALL FARMS DON'T PAY.
Some of the Wastes That Eat Up the
Profits.


Having for a long time been Of the
opinion that the reason so many small
farms do not pay is that they are work.
ed in a wasteful and unhusin"sslike way,
! have Nentured, with some difldence, to
make list of wasteful methods that
have come under my observation, not at
tempting to classify them, but setting
them down in the order in which they
occurred to me says Il correspondent of
the New York Evening Post
Keeping and feeding an animal, or fowl
~ tree, after it has ceased to be profit

Leaving birch wood and pine logs eX-
posed to the weather till the birch is rot

The keeping of sickly, understood. or
otherwise interior stock 1t costs but lit

p quarts of milk than to keep one giving
)ut half that amount, and the farmer who
could own the better animal, and dosen't,
: to all intcnts and purposes. throwing
lway six quarts of milk a day, to say
iothins of the loss on the calf of the
poorer COW, which is fit only for yea |.
The same principle applies to poultry. If
Inc farmer is so situated that he could

HAS HE FORGOTTEN?

I1lO IL OA\>~O ~
Brother Greig of the Evauge-
line, who it appears has q very |
short memory, has in its last issue
fred the following little para
graph, which our people were sur
prised to read, except it be inten-
ded az q Joke; here is what he says:
Tho Weekly Messenger Is way Oh its
base, in making the assertions that Hon.
R. r. Broussard. has lost his popularity
In the parish Of 81. Martin. This is Q
Democratic parish. and We Will give
Hon. Broussard q majotity ranging BE-
tween 600 to 100 to the least he can rely
on that. Local differences among Dem
ocrats amount to nothing, they dissp-
psar before the National or Congression-
q issues.
Democrats are united.
Just put this little piece Of infornA-
tion in your pipe. Brother Bienvenu. and
through the smoke you will detect the
truth Of this assertion.
This is q Democratic parish the
Evangeline said: Yes, We admit
that this is q Democratic parish,
but all those who claim to be the
pure Democrats are not OF that
article except whom they want to|
fool the people.
The last state election 10 proof
Of that, the vote for the Sheriffs
was 1910 votes cast and Heard got
only 826 votes, only IS votes more
than Badon. the Democratic Cam
didates for Sheriff. This shows
that Of the $40 voters who voted
aBainst the Democratic ticket only
IS cast their: votes for the Demo
GRATIS candidate for Governor. II
this Democracy Of the genuine ar
ticle, or Democracy for Office?
Now, you, Brother Greig, will
you csndidly tell us if you sup
ported the straight Democrats
ticket at the last election, We
would like to be posted on this
matter, as We doubt it, you knowl
Now Greig, if Broussard was TO
get q majority Of 600 or 700 votes,
there would be nothing strange
about that he would only be get
ting what Heard. Bsdon and other
Democratic candidates got at the
last election, and il means that
your pwd will again oppose the
Dsmocfatic ticket; is this not
what you mean?
Local differences amount to no
thing among Democrats, they dis
appear in National and Congress
sional issues. If this was to be
the case. why should not Brous-
ssrd get the whole vote of the De-
mocratic parish which is 1910
votes. It has been rumored that
the boilers were dissatisfied with
Bob Broussard because he did not
come here to help them against
the Democratic party, and that in
bis speeches elsephere he poun-
ded the boilers, and for these rea-
sons they would not support him.
But this will not amount to
much, because We know that such
Democratic leaders ss Liable, Mar
tin. Bsdon, Domengesux, Fleming
and others are going to make .
vigorous campaign for Bob Brous-
card, that will assure him . hand
some majority in this parish. Now
Il the bolters will fall back to the
Democratic fold, Bob Broussurd
should get an almost solid vote,
