An Ayrshire Estimate.
"Thc Ayrshire COW will show more
net profit every year from her begin
ming to her ending in old age, taking
into consideration the amount the kind
and the cost of food consumed, her
easy keeping tendencies and the
amount and quality Of milk produced,
than the COW of any other dairy
breed. Her general appearance is strik-
ing, being alert and full of life and
reserved energy, handsome and at
Lractive, 1000 to 100 pounds in
weight, usually white and red, spotted,
but varying in these colors from nearly
all white TO nearly all red" So runs
the Ayrshire breeders score book.
The High Test Not the Only Thing.
Dairymen, and especially creamery
patrons. are often carried away with
the idea of a high test, and not infre-
quently they class the highest testing
COW as the best in the herd 1t should
be borne in mind that the test is only
one factor in the element of profit.
Frequently more depends upon the
pounds Of milk than upon the test
The experience of the Kansas expert
ment station, together with that Of
dairymen who have kept individual
records, leads to the conclusion that it
is not always the highest nor the low
est testing COWS that give the most
profit. The medium testing COW that
gives a large flow Of milk may be
classed among the most profitable.

OPERA HOUSE.

BY the action of the Police
Jury Thursday in purchas-
ing the property of the EIks at
the corner of Weeks and St.
Peter Streets the Opera House
for this city is assured. 1t may
be safely asserted that work on
the structure will be begun just
as soon as the plans can be
made and the bids for the con
struction of the S=tne received.
Some time ago the special
committee of EIks obtained a
large number of subscriptions
for the project, the subscribers
agreeing to take certain num-
Der of tickets tor the first per
Torrance. So encouraging was
the movement that it was con
sldered safe to offet the present
building of the Erks for sale in
order to obtain enough money
to finance the project properly.
The price placed on the
building was small. In fact it
was not within $1,000 of what
1t cost and the offer was made |
to the Police Jury which to day |
took over the property.
1t is probable that the opera
house will be placed on the site
chosen by Mr.. Christian when
he figured on the proposition,
and it is understood that the
plans have been outlined to an
architect who will now go ahead
with the working plans for the
building. 1t is proposed to
have in the building hall for
The meetings of the EIks and
other organizations. 1t will be
he home of the Elks and will
DC much more convenient than
he building just disposed of.
Those who are familiar with
he needs of an opera house
rope that a larger stage will be
damned than the one shown in
lesIgns of Mr.. Christian. That
vas too small to accommodate
many of the best companies that 3
ravel on the road. 1t is ex-
ected however, that the plans
dopted for the play house will :,
e up to date in every particular :
nd that it will prove a drawing :,

FARMERS BEwAREl

We understand that number OF
the merchants of this City have re.
solved not to make advances To plan.
ters hereafter who do not agree ia
devote at least one half of their land
to cotton. This action has been
taken, probably, with a view of
preventing loss in the future aud
to cOnteract the effect of any com.
bIue on the part of the refinprs
which may tend to the aggrandize-
ment of the latter to the prejudice
of the former.
There has been a feeling of late
among the bankers and business
men that TO much attention has
been given TO one crop, that as in
the present year there is to little
chance to get proper return with
only one staple as a product aud
that to warrant them in making
advances it is their duty to direct
the planter and agriculturalist in
so far as possible in the right way to
insure at least a small modicum of
prosperity. With but one crop aud
that dependent upon weather aud
the vagaries of the seasons, it is
probably felt that there is a risk in
advancing money which would be
less great if there were an attempt
to grow two of the staples that are
suitable to the climate here. 1t is
for this reason therefore that the
business man is taking measures
to protect himself aud at the same
time to save the land owner from
utter ruin and Unbelievable loss.

A COh1MENDABLE STAND.

The Police Jury is to be com
mended for what it did at its last
meeting as well as for what it did
not do There is no question but
the refusal to act in the saloon Ii
cense matter was wise. There has
been too much of indecisiveness in
the past aud to have stood firm on
the mooted question of high license
reflects much credit upon the wis
dom of the body.
There are always honest differ
ences of opinion as to the wisdom
OF high and low licenses. Some of
the people really believe that low
license is as beneficial as the high
aud they are entitled to retain their
honest views of the matter. Be
lieving as they do, they cannot be
blamed for their opinions but hav-
ing been defeated they showed
their wisdom in acquiescing TO the
decision of the majority. And
that majority is to be cougratulat
ed that il did not yield to impor-
tunities of the dissatisfied and al
low the matter to be brought up
again for discussion and perhaps
dissention.
Low license has had its trial in
the Parish and has been found
wanting. High license will now
prevail and if it is found wanting
some other remedy may be tried
next year.
In the matter of the purchase of
the building of the Elks. 1t is be
lieved the Jury made wise deci-
sion. The Court House is made
auate to the needs of the Parish.
Even the Police Jury's meeting
room is not what il should be
The headquarters for the Board
of Education are utterly made
uuate and with the addition of
new Court here, there was nothing
to be done but to provide more
room. The property purchased is
remarkably cheap and the terms
not burdensome. BY the time the
is ready to build a court
house that will properly acconmo-
date all the branches of the govern.
ment it will be worth many times
what was paid for it.
The need for bridges and roads
and schools was recognized by the
Jury but it felt that with the
limited supply of money nothing
,ould be done at present. 1t was
evident however that there was the :
spirit of Improvement in the Jury
md that if it is possible all these
hings will be attended to before
Is terms of Office expires. 1t Is
better to have the spirit aud not
he means than the means aud not
