HOGS AND CATTLE.
What Some of Boosters Citizens Are
Realizing From Them.

What Some of Boosters Citizens Are
Realizing From Them.
The Plain Dealing correspondent of
the Shreveport Times writing to that
paper under date of Jan. 81 says:
"To prove the correctness Of the views
outlined by Mr.. Mcclellan in his address
here on Tuesday on the hog question,
your correspondent has been looking
somewhat into the hog question.
Get. L. Demoss, who lives about eight
miles from Plain Dealing, sold to-day
thirty-four hogs that brought him in
cash S286.30. Previous to this he had
sold twenty-seven head that brought
him S213.7O, which makes S5O4 he has
so far received. He had previously
killed eight head for his own use. He
now has thirty-five to kill. Besides
these he has 12O head he will carry over.
Mr.. Demoss has not fed, all told, ten
bushels of corn to these hogs. These
are facts.
81. F. Kilgore, who lives near Mot,
sold to-day five head of hogs that
brought him S38.45. He previously sold
six that brought S56. 80, making his sales
amount to S95.25. He has killed nine
for his own use.
81. V. Kilgore, the father of J. F.
Kilgore, has sold twelve head that
brought him 1920. He has plenty of
meat for his own use.
"Luther Winget sold six head that
brought him $500 and has sold others,
and now has plenty of meat to do for
the entire year.
"These facts presented themselves to
your correspondent to-day very forcibly.
Two parties from Missouri were here
buying hogs, and in little while, in a
small scope of country, they bought
about eighty head and paid out about
$500.
elf our farmers would only turn their
attention to the possibilities of this in
dustry this section of Louisiana will
have solved the labor problem.
"John Gleason, who lives three miles
from Plain Dealing, has ready to ship
to the ST. Louis market car load OF fat
cattle, and will ship in day or two
Mr.. Gleason has a son in Shreveport
/ who runs market and he ships him
what pork he raises on his farm. He
has shipped $500 worth, mostly things
he grows on his own farm. He says hi
cannot supply his son with chichens.
"Now, what the writer wishes to say
to all who wish to or will go into these
industries, is this: Organize in YOU
respective localities and grow your hog.
or cattle. You can grow and fatten both
then fix on a time to ship to st. Louis
Kansas City or elsewhere and you viii
get more than So per head for each ami
NAL you sell. You have now found on
that hogs and cattle will bring cash a.
well as cotton. There is not day dur
ing the year that hogs cannot be sup
piled with abundant food and the!
gather it themselves"
/ The above article is we'll written ant
teeming with facts that every one WIFI
lives on a farm should know, and TO
these reasons should have as wide cir
culation as possible. That's why w
have reproduced it here. Also, we viii
add that any of our readers who woul,
like to contribute such articles to gu
columns are welcome to do so. w

value Of Careful stripping.

Stripping the cows thoroughly has a
tendency to increase the milk flow.
Leaving a little milk in the udder has
the opposite effect. The principal diff
ference between a good mixer and a
poor one is that the good mixer is gen.
tie with the cows and conscientiously
finishes the job. Any one can milk a
cow right, but not every one does it.
Leaving little milk in the udder in
creases the bacteria content Of the next
milking slightly. which is another rea,
son for careful stripping.

FIREMAN FIREBUG SHOWS zEAi

TO Summon brigade.

Paris, March IA fireman named
Pierre GOncOn. aged twenty-five. was
sentenced TO Grenoble yesterday TO penal
servitude for life for incendiarism. Con
con was trumpeter 10 the Echerolles fire
brigade, and showed extraordinary zeal
in his duties. No sooner did a fire break
out than he appeared in the street loud
ly blowing his clarion TO summon the
members of the brigade
The fremen had reason to believe that
they were called out little too frequent
ly. On two or three occasions It was
found that the Uumpeter had sounded
the alarm even before the fire had act
ually broken out. As no fewer than thir-
ty fires broke out in the little town in
two months, GOnCOn was arrested, but
was discharged for lack of evidence
Instead, however. Of taking the lesson
TO heart, GOncOn was discovered one
evening throwing lighted matches int a
harmful OF hay Under his blouse he had
secreted his trumpet ready to run out
and sound the alarm, The popuIace tried
TO lynch him.
In his defense Goncon said that he
had set fire to the barn merely to prove
his zeal.

Socialism in the English local elections Is
already beginning to bring good results.

important sections Of London announce
substantial reductions of the tax rate by
a reduction Of the estimates Of their
predecessor for municipal ownership en-
terprises.
The new county council began work
this week. and is now struggling with
the problem Of how Ear It can reduce OF
possibly cancel commitments invoking
many millions for works on municipal
ownership lines. Many such schemes, un-
fortunately, must be proceeded with, for
the city is already pledged in the matter.
and hence any rapid reduction of the
