One Of the gravest mistakes and
most needless ones shepherd can
make is to leave the docking of the
lambs till they are large or several
months old This trimming business
can be attended to when the lambs are
young and before heat and flies make
the job an unnecessarily painful and
risky one. When lambs are a few
days old. the tails can be taken off
with scarcely any pain and with no
risk whatever. s.s..
a few days later the other work can
be done, and all will be we'll To defer

THINNING FRUIT.
How Peaches, Plums, Apples and Fears
Should as Treated.

How Peaches, PIums, Apples and rsafs
Should 1s Treated.
The following points Of the suojecf
OF thinning fruit are given Dy tne
MARYLAND experiment station:
peaches and plums should not De
rhinued before the July drop" Is over
and also the danger OF depreciation ~
the curculio is past In the case OF
peaches, they should never be thinned
to less than i've inches apart. Six or
e,sht inches Is recommended when the
finest quality Of fruit Is desired Piums
should be thinned to about two or three
inches apart. Apples should be thinned
to about the same distance apart as
peaches. Pears should be thinned
about four or 1--WE inches apart. Ap-
pies and pears should be Trimmed when
the fruit Is about the size OF small
crab apple.
The thinning is best done by the aid
Of q stout stepladder having BROAD
steps and platform. The trees may be
thinned on the north side in the fore
noon and on the south side In the after
noon. SC as to permit the person doing
the thinning to be in the shade. TO
insure thoroughness in the work, each
branch should be completed before the
person starts to thin the next one.
Some Imaginary Objections.
One Of the greatest objections to thin
ming is the seeming cost Of the opera
ton. This objection 10 more imaginary
than real II allowed to remain the
fruit would have to be picked in the
fall, when labor Is higher and the rush
Of work is greater. Besides, the cost
OF removal Of small fruit is much less
than removing them after they are
ripe. Another objection is that the
total bulk will be less il half or more
than half Of the fruit is taken OF while
young. Experiments have proven the
contrary. All things being equal, the
bulk will be equal, II not greater, il the
fruit is properly thinned. The question
Of time IL often a problem with some
growers, but usually at that time Of
the year labor Is abundant Little diff
dculty should be experienced on this
gsa The Work Easily Done.
Besides the work can easily and Ell
GENTLY be done BY women and chill
dren. In fact they are better adapted
to this kind Of work than are grown
men. Another great obstacle to thin
ming IS found in the fact that few peo-
pie are willing to take OF the young
fruit. It seems to them an unneces-
sary- waste, Sentimentality also plays
= part with many people in preventing
them from doing what they ought to
do. The sentiment, however, should
be all on the other side, for Is 1t not
better that a few fruits should come
to perfection rather than all should
suffer from the lack OF sufficient nour-
ishment? n.si s
Y, It should be understood that thin
ming will not. pay except the other
practices which SO with proper fruit
culture, have been attended to. 1t will
not pay to thin an orchard which has
not been properly pruned, sprayed,
ferilized and cultivated.

II u Both Wholesome and PaIatabis to

s Why it Is advisable to salt hay and
how much salt to use are, according to-
q German authority, as follows:
Usually salt Is only sprinkled on
hay when It has been wet with rain
Or i Of q poor quality Nevertheless it
may also be recommended for good
hay even clover and meadow hay.
The salt will mainly. help to keep the
leaves Of clover and sainfoin hay from

from becoming too dry.
Furthermore, the sailing will make
It more wholesome and palatable to
the animals. For these reasons many
farmers also salt their best hay, espe-
cialiy because the keeping quality Of
the hay Is increased. The hay salted
with 4 per cent salt Is eaten By cattle
and horses with pleasure, which IS ex-
planned by the fact that animals which
are fed ration rich IN potash have q
natural craving for salt In order to
keep their blood provided with the
needed chloron and soda which other

General Jastremski, Candidate

Platform.

General Leon Jastremski, the
only publicly seIf-announced cam
dldate for governor in 1908,
through his paper published in
Batou Rouge. outlines his plat
form.
He reviews his campaign OF
four years ago and dwelIs at some
length on legislation since then,
laying particular stress on the
primary election law, passed In
1906, in reference to a public de-
mand for cleaner methods of
choosing political candidates.
General Jastremski will demand
cheaper railway passenger rates.
Says he:
"The fare of 8 cents per mile
for railway travel should be re-
duced to 2 cents, and the powers
of the railroad commission en-
larged to secure for the people
the same protection in their rights
and interests which are enjoyed
in other States.

POPULAR INTEREST
is GROWING.
More Money is Now Being
Spent on Education than
Ever Before.

More money is being spent for
our schools in Louisiana this year
than was ever spent for them in
any previous year, and mere peo
pie than ever before are aware of
and are consciously participating
in what is thus being accomplish
ed. Only a few years ago in this
State (only a few weeks ago in
some parishes of IT'D you could
not coax out a corporals guard
to hear one of the ablest Institute
lecturers in the whole country
talk for three-quarters of an hour
on the subject of schools, the sub
ject of all subjects most vital to
their chlldren's welfare. But now
you can get a crowded house,
mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts
and cousins, to hear all about the
movement for more and better
schools, and to Join in and help it
along. This shows that the world
moves.
The first thing a real live super
intendent does these days is to
put in a long distance call for
some great big, eloquent-tongued.
large-souled school evangelist to
come hold "protracted meeting"
and get up big "revlyal'' in his
parish. Then he sends out the
faithful into the streets to invite
the people to come, even into the
highways to invite the publicans
and sinners to come hear the
words of truth, the gospel of edu-
cation for all the people. At first
the people hold back and are
afraid lest the evangelist might
call upon some of them to ''raise
the tune.' They 60 way back

But as the times grow better and
the great cause spreads, it is now

preciate the value of this educa-
tional evangelism that has been
growing with us for twenty years,
and is now working so powerfully
among US. It began most con-.
spicuously and effectively with
Col. Boyd's importation of Mr..
Brumbaugh and the Brumbaugh
infusion. It was real old camp
meeting times when Brumbaugh
would address the big Chautauqua
Assembly near Ruston. He once
had the floor of the tabernacle
there, just preceding the late Sam
Jones, of Georgia, who enjoyed
unbounded popularity in the
mountain fastnesses of that region
and had attracted on this occasion
an audience of near two thousand
people. Brumbaugh waited q
minute for silence, then started
of in an innocent sort Of . way,
SO the crowd, not suspectlng at
first that he was loaded, began to
buzz again and grow impatient
for the coming of Jones. But all
of . sudden Brumbaugh stamped
his foot (13 inch-same as the
big guns of q battleship) and
stunned that crowd into attention
