One of the great mlsfortunes of
the last election, in so far as Lou
isiana is concerned, was the de-
feat of the railroad amendment ex.
empting new railroad lines from
taxation for a period of ten years.
If this amendment had carried the
State would have witnessed most
unprecedented development in
every section. We believe that
the defeat of the amendment was
not through any design on the
part of the voters, but solely be
cause many preferred to let the
chances of spelling their ballots.
The amendment is good one and
ought to be brought up again.

ITEM OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

Contributed by the Northwestern
Hide and Fur company, Minneapolis,
Mimi
Each year there are many thousands
of COWS, horses and sheep that die by
sickness or accident that have hides on
that will bring good prices if taken OFF
properly and promptly salted. and sent
to market. 1t is more important to salt
hides taken from dead animals than
those that ale slaughtered for the stick
ing draws out most of the blood from the
hides as we'll as the meat of such. Not
so with the animal that dies without be-
ing bled, hence the necessity of prompt
and well sailing. To do this it requires
bucket of salt to good sized hide,
smaller in proportion. See complete in
structions in last issue. Such hides if
well taken off and not cut with holes
will bring full value. AS large COW,
bull or steer hide brings from $500 to
$500, horse hides half that much (small-
ones in proportion), sheep pelts from
SO cents to $lOO and calf skins IS cents
to $3.50. You see how it pays to save
them. The wool from dead sheep, when
the hide is spoiled is worth saving also.
Some people think they cannot afford to
take one or more good farm papers and
vet one cow or horse hide will pay sever
al years subscription. Farmers carry
out our suggestions and you will thank
us for telling you of it. Take them Off
right, send them to good firm. DO
not be deceived by buyers who tell you
hides and skins from dead animals are
not worth half the price of those from
slaughtered animals.

place for the children to play as we'll

place for the children to play as well
as to hang the clothes to dry.
The construction of stairs in houses
requires more attention than they usual
ly receive. This is particularly true of
the cellar stairs. A rise of six inches
and foot fall of eleven inches is about
right.
OF all the rooms in the house, the
functions of the kitchen are most essen
tial to the family welfare. Few house
keepers think of their kitchens as lab
oratories; but considering the chemical
processes which are made in them, they
are entitled to this scientific name
In planning house see that the kitch-
en- is well lighted in all kinds of weather,
with good ventilation and roomy enough
to work with comfort. 1t is not strange
that women consider the work done in
the average dreary kitchen, as drudgery
Have hood or sliding ventilator con-
structed over the stove and connected
with the chimney, so as to carry off the
heat and odors.
For convenience, the woodshed should
adjoin the kitchen. If the kitchen floor
is not of hardwood, it should be covered
with lineolum or paint it. Provide the
kitchen "wet sink" with both well and
cistern pumps by it and conduct the
waste water away from the house to
sunny spot to lower level with the
house. The furnishings of the kitchen
should be so arranged as to save steps.
1t is the duty of every householder
to know if the house is sanitary, es
pecially if children are to dwell in it.
In building, allow no drain to be con-
structed under the house. When leaking
sewers, cesspools, clubhouse or cisterns,
make their way into the house, you are
in imminent danger of typhoid fever,
diphtheria, throat and other diseases.
Let no time be lost in searching out the
cause and correcting it.
Ventilation of the house demands the
most careful attention. An open fire.
place is good ventilator. A board 2
to inches wide at top or bottom of
window sash, is good simple means of
admitting fresh air. As about onethird
of our time is spent in sleep, it is i'm
portant the location of the room, bed,
bedding and furniture are correct. The
bed should not be placed in an alcove or
against a wall for sanitary reasons,
nor should the bed be so placed as to be
in a draft. The walls should be of
light or neutral tint. The floor should be
of hardwood or painted, with a few
rugs on it, which can readily be taken
up busted and aired. A light single iron
or brass bedstead is preferable, with
mattress that can be easily aired.
Blankets that can be frequently washed
are the best covering. The bedding
should be taken off and hung in the sun
for several hours before the bed is made
up.

MIR. GETrY'S HOUSE BURNED.
From Fridays Daily.

Wednesday afternoon, about five
o'clock, fire was discovered issuing from
the roof of the residence on what is
known as the Getty homestead. The
house was large one and was occupied
by two families, Geo. Mowery living on
the east side, and James Getty on the
west side. An effort was made to ex-
tinguish the flames, but without fire
fighting apparatus it was apparent that
the building was doomed to destruction
A number of neighbors responded to the
call for aid and practically the entire
contents of the building were saved. The
house was insured for $500, but this
will not come anywhere near covering
the loss. The building was owned by
Mr.. Freeman Getty, postmaster at Beau
ord-Mapleton Enterprise.

The farmers are for Reed and

slush funds, just as Monroe
City was when Charley Mansur
was turned down and one Uriah
Hall elected.
Saturday morning we heard a
leader of the Folk procession in
this city apologizing for checks
secured, for checks photograph
ed, that were used to debauch
the smaller towns. He claimed
that they were legitimate If
one, five and fifty dollar checks
used to buy votes are legitimate
then the $47, 500 said to be used
by one Ed Butler to buy the
House of Representatives of
ST. Louis was also legitimate.
All Butler was charge with Was
bribery-buying votes
When Count Rodman had too
many votes, he stuck the ones
he did not want in hot coal
stove. When Folks henchmen
cannot get enough votes honest

buy them outrig hit, just as Ed.
