"Blind Tigers

1t has developed this week that
there exist two blind tigers in the
Fifth Ward, one kept by Alcee
Devillier, member of the present
Grand Jury and one kept by
Ozeme Roy. Both, it appears are
open since January LIST and have
been doing business just the same
as those who have paid a $1,000 Ii
cense. Was these violations OF
the law unknown to the officers?
1t seems strange that two saloons
should be open from January 1st
and left unmolested until the
month of October without any step
being taken to arrest the violators
and close their establishments, the
dealers who pay the high license
of $1,000 have a right to be protec-
ted from those who are wide open
and run their business in COMPETE
ton to them without paying any
license. Some one seems to be
guilty for this, and we hope the
Grand Jury will lay the blame
where it should be.
Devillier and Roy have violated
the State Law knowingly and ma
liciously, because we understand
that they paid their internal reve-
nue. licenses, they seemed to fear
the United States authorities. but
look lightly about the violation of
the state laws. Unless the court
can deal with such violations in a
manner that will punish them &C.
verely, it might be an inducement
for all other liquor dealers to only
pay their internal revenue license
and go before the district court and
be fined less than $1,000. The result
Of those two cases will be watched
with great deal of interest, and
if the fine imposed is not much
over $1,000 and Imprisonment, we
may look for many more "blind IT,

Peddlers Should Pay Licenses.

During the year it was OCCASION
ally reported that some peddlers
had been doing business in this
parish and even in St. Martinville,
and few if any had paid license
to do business in this parish. Re-
Gently the number increased, pre-
'sumably because they were left to
do as they pleased, and they felt
they had free field and green
pastures to feed upon. Last week
"a crowd of twenty or thirty Syrians
arrived here, who are supplied
with goods from the store of Sa-
Him Poulas who recently arrived
here from Birmingham with a
large stock of goods, and it is re-
ported that every morning the
Syrians leave town with large
bundles and visit every home in
the country, selling their goods
from house to house.
None of these peddlers paid any
license, and they did not even in
quire il they had any license to
pay, they simply invaded the coun-
try and the town, peddlers could
be seen in almost every direction.
Last Sunday the merchants who
are license and tax payers, who
are supporting the town and the
country by contributing their share
of taxes and licenses thought they
should put a stop to this free ped
ding business, and after having
called their meeting and discuss
ed the matter thoroughly, called
upon Sheriff Badon and Mayor
Fournet to strictly enforced the
peddling law and enforce the pay
ment of peddling license from
every peddler.
Both of these officials promised
that they would perform their du-
ty, the Sheriff instructed his depu-
ties from every section Of the pa
rish to keep close watch for the
peddlers and to exact the exhibit
tion of their licenses, and those
who could not show their licenses
to arrest them and bring them to
his Office where they will be dealt
with according 10 law.
The peddling license is very
high, and if those people are for
ced to pay it, they will simply
leave the country or they will have
to pay pretty little sum to the
town and parish.
The merchants were right to
protest against this abuse as they
have right to expect the public
officials to do their duty and en-
force the payment of licenses from
all those who are doing business
In this parish.
The meeting last Sunday was
composed only of dry goods mer-
chants, and at this meeting il was
decided to organize a Merchants
Protective Association, the men,
bership to be composed of all our
people who are in business, and a
meeting will be held tomorrow at
the town hall to effect permanent
organization. This is a good move,
which we have no doubt will meet
with the approval of our business
people, aud we expect to see full
attendance at the meeting to-mor-
row, for organization and enroll
ment.

Making Plant Food.

All gardeners of the east and south
are vitality interested in the recent eff
forts to prepare a heterogeneous fartiliz-
er by. artificial means. The natural
nitrate deposits in South America are
rapidly becoming exhausted, and un-
less other substances can be secured
to take their place as fertilizers the
price must soon rise beyond the abili-
ty of many to buy. For some time
past the chemists have been strug-
Cling with the problem, hoping to
make use of the limitless amount Of
free nitrogen in the air, which has
hitherto been unavailable because of
the difficulty of separating it from the
oxygen. 1t is now found that this sep
aration may be rapidly and cheaply eff
fected by passing a current of air over
read-heated copper. The oxygen COM
bines with the metal and irons cop
per oxide, and the nitrogen is set free.
1t is then brought into combination
with a mixture Of powdered charcoal
and lime in an electric furnace. The
resulting product is a block substance
containing about 10 to Il per cent. Of
nitrogen in perfect condition to be used
as a fertilizer. 1t appears that the nj
trogen from this substance, which has
been named calcium cyanide, acts upon
plants quite as effectively a. that con-
tanned in a proportionate quantity OF
potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate.
The commercial introduction of this
material is anticipated with consider
able interest.-American Gardening.

BEST BREED FOR THE SOUTH.
A b Worth Consideration BY
the Live Stock Rafsers of
the South.

With the increasing interest in the
southern states relative to the live
stock business, there is a demand for
improved live stock. While largely
concerning cattle, probably, still there
is marked interest being taken in hogs,
and even sheep. The problem is Wheth-
er or not there are any breeds that
will meet the demands Of the south bet
ter than others.
In a late communication to the pa
per Rush C. Watkins, vice-presidant
and traffic manager of the Central I'm
ion stock yards at Louisville, KY,
asks: what is the best breed of cat
tie hogs and sheep to raise in Ken
lucky and the southern states? Why?"
Following this query, Mr.. Watkins
adds that this subject should be dis
cussed without any attempt to adver-
tise any particular breed, but to give
the particulars regarding to qualities
of each breed. In other words, Zeal
only with the features of each that are
recognized generally as distinctly
theirs as fitting them for southern con-
ditions. There are certain qualltles
possessed by leading breeds that make
all-valuable, but still not to cause them
to be differentiated from other equally
good breeds.
Shorthorn cattle have long been q
feature of Kentucky. Later the Here
fort have been pushed in, and at pres
ent are making efforts to be the lead
ing breed of the gulf states. Berk-
shire hogs in the choicest quality have
been introduced successfully into
North Carolina. Possibly other sorts
of live stock have done equally well.
If men experienced with the conditions
Of the south will answer this question
through our columns they will con-
tribute matter of much value to farm

FARMERANDP PLANTER
LANTIN CORN.
One of the Most Important Crops on
the Southern Farm If Properly
Cared For.

The corr crop is one of the most
important on the southern farm. We
say southern farm, because many think
that it is better to let the western
farmer raise corr for us than it Is for
us to raise it for ourselves. They adj
NIT that we must have the corn. But
they say we can raise cotton and buy
he corn chepaer than We can raise the
corn. This is a great mistake. 1t is
false in fact and ruinous in practice.
1t has ruined many farmers. BY per-
sisting in this fallacy they have found
themselves in debt and giving mort
cages and finally sold out.
The low price of cotton and cOntin-
nous argument has driven a great
many to abandon the %all-cotton crop
system, and prosperity has come in
consequence. But now cotton is up
again, and we are tempted to give all
u energies to raising cotton. If we
do that the high price of cotton will be
a curse instead Of a blessing. s.
One reason SO many are inclined to
neglect planting corn is the poor crops
of corr we have been making has made
the corn cost us too much to grow.
Corn can be made at less than twenty
cents per bushel, not counting in the
value of the stalks for slower If they
are properly utilized the stalks can be
made to pay the cost OF the crop and
leave the corn clear.
To raise corn properly We must have
the land deeply broken land well har-
rowed. Corn needs for root de-
velopment in search for water and food.
The roots will grow from five to six
feet deep of the soil is loose.
BY increasing the cubic space we can
decrease the square space for each
stalk. In this way we can plant more
stalks per acre, and thus get O corn
per acre. If the soil is deep and good
the corn will do better crowded than
scattered. On good soil, well MANFRED,
from six to eight thousand stalks per
acre will make good, heavy ears. This
will us from sixty to eighty bushels.
With 1000 stalks we can not hope for
more than twenty to twenty-five bush
els per acre, and often we only get Is.
With too much space corn does not
ear we'll. But when crowded 1t ears
full up, if the soil is able to bear it.
Our plan has long been about this:
Break the land and subsoil II to 10
inches. Put on stable manure, COM
post, lot scraping, cottonseed or fer
t~ilizers, broadcast and harrow over
several times. Lay off now without
bedding, four feet. Drop corn about
1S inches, use zoo pounds of fertilizer
in drill. Cultivate shallow and often,
and continue until in full silk. In this
way we get from fifty to seventy-five
bushels per acre, at about eighteen
cents per bushel. Now the slower is
worth about enough to pay all ex-
penses ,Fand leave the corn clear profit,
Everything points to high prices for
corn and hay and meat, so that it is the
duty of every farmer to plant a large
crop of corn. Wars and connections
all increase the demand for corn. II
you have plenty Of corn you can have
