Editor IBERIAN
Dear Sir
"There is tide in the affairs,
of men which taken at the flood
leads on to fortune, as with men so
with communities. In an able edl-
toral in the lBERIAN of last week
TIE editor says "New Iberia ls'' at
the turnii g of the way. sat crit
cal period in her history" 1t will
not do for her to simply sand still.
she cannot hold her own at that
pace. There is All impetus, telt in
all the towns west of Us, partly
through the oil excitement, but
mainly through the real get up and
hustle OF their citizens, and IN the
local pride which prompts corpora
lions in any movement for the gen.
eral good. THIS spirit IL notably
manifest in these new towns in
South W st Louisiana and Texas.
Are we, with all our rich resources
going to let them distance us in the
race for City honors?. Some months
ago there was a movement to re-
vive the carnival ASSOCIATION, bat
there seemed not enough life IN 1t
to be resucltated. this project was
gwen far trial here some years
ago, and if the result had been salts
factory 1t doubtless. would have
continued. In my opinion poor
imitation Is generally recognized as
such, especially when IN close prox-
unity to the original, New Orleans
wears the mccall for Carnlvals. L't's
not try to compete, but do some
thing on our own account, How
would a s'Counly FAIR" Fill the blll9
this to-. has been agltated here but
not fairly tried, the time asnot ripe
but If taken up now and properly
pushed, think it would be great
success and 1t would do more
real good for the town and Parish
than several carnivals, and at much
less outlay, Our Park is just the
place fol the FAIR, IL has been put
in beautiful order and very little
futher out lay would be- necessary
to make 1t complete for the purpose.
These County Fairs are a regular
feature IN most of the agricultural
states, and their value is beyond
computation. Let's hear from some
one else on this subject, this Is
matter in which the ladies could
and would take lively interest.
1t is said of Augusta Evans whose
taclle pen has won for her and her
stories immortal honors, is never
satisfied unless she carries off sever
al prizes at her annual County Far.

FatteninC Hogs.

We never found anything that would
put the fat on equal to good corn meal,
or that would make pork more to our
liking. We remember statement by
Professor Stewart in which he says
that with good hogs and proper feeding
one should make eight pounds OF pork
from a bushel of raw corn, or ten
hounds from a bushel of raw meal,
twelve pounds from the corn if boiled,
and fifteen pounds from the meal If
boiled. He referred to live weight, but
we think if he had said dressed weight
he would not have been far from right.
And yet orr experience has been more
with what we called scalded meal, or
such as we had poured boiling water
over and stirred well, allowing 1t to
stand until cool enough to feed. Wheth-
er a more thorough cooking would have
improved it we do not know. We think

movements one of our boys was sitting
on the porch of q farm house, when the
monkey slipped up and bit him on the
leg. He grabbed the little chap, and
saw the monkey at the battle of Sail
ors Greek sitting up on box of crack
erS which had been broken open, and
he was shying hard tack at the boys
and grinning in the most comical man
ner. In an engagement however he
was a great coward, and would hide
under any available thing. Ordinarily
he rode on the off wheel horse of the
battery. but in battle he crawled inside
of the drivers blouse or shirt, if pos
sible and exhibited the most abject
fear.
Our horses were often nervous when
wounded, but if the battle was on and
there was great excitement they SEEM
ed to be controlled by much the same
spirit as wounded men. At all events,
if they were slightly wounded they re-
covered from their nervousness, forgot
their wounds, and had as much Dash
and spirit in the forward movement as
before they were wounded. If there
was no fighting, or if there was re-
treat, they continued in a state of ner-
vous excitement" - Chicago Inter
