DO WOLVES MARRY FOR LIFE?

The October American Magazine con-
tains an interesting article on "The
Habits of Wolves" by Ernest Thompson
Seton. The article contains many facts
about animal marriage. Mr. Seton, for
example, thinks that wolves marry for
life. He says:
II have several times seen male
and female wolf together at a time when
the sexual passion is dormant; and yet
the male showed the female more at
tention than he would have done had
she simply been a smaller male. This
points to permanent partnership.
"In the London Zoo is pair of wolves
officially called Lobo and Blanca. The
male is from Western Texas, the female
from Arizona; they are good typical
examples of the gray or buffalo wolf
of those high plains.
"They have been there for five years
and are supposed to be seven years
old. They bred in 1908, producing nine
cubs, and in 1904 eight. The father ha:
always been kept away from the young
so it is not known whether he ha:
any parental feelings.
"These two old wolves live in harmony
except when the keepers come to the
olge. Both are fond of being noticed
and eager to monopolize all attention
each strives jealously to be next to thu
bars, pushing the other away, barking
and growing meanwhile with bristline
name and evident temper.

Ra Their Crooked.

An attempt was made to swindle
the Bourgeois furniture house out
of $50 last Saturday by a man
named B. Lafargue, which resulted
in Lafargue being taken IN hand ;
but the case was compromised With
the understanding that Lafargue's
relatives were TO make good.
Lafargue approached Lawrence
Bourgeois last Saturday with a
proposition to exchange a horse
and barouche for some furniture
and $40 cash, the furniture to oe
delivered at house that Lafargue
claimed be had just rented from
Il. V. Richard. The bargain was
made. reducing the $50 to SIS, but
MIR. Bourgeois, afterwards becom-
ing suspicious of the man, went
over to Babington's store, where
he found Lafarge making some
purchases, and took him to Mr.
Richard to confirm his statements,
who denied that he had rented the
house TO Lafargue. Lafargue,
however, stuck 1t out, and stated
that his wife had rented the house,
and asked to be allowed to go 10
claiborne and get her. He was
followed 10 Claiborne, and found
making preparations to leave on
the train. Meantime inquiries de
veloped the fact that the horse and
barouehe was the property of
SIorin & Thompson, llverymen at
Abita, and Lafargue was again
taken in charge
Investigation brought out The
fact that good many Of La
fargues transactions were of a
shady character.

After a protracted dry season,
the much needed rain made some
of the streets OF Covington appear
like primitive log roads. This is
an inevitable condition, resulting
from seveal causes, but chiefly from
a lack of proper material for filling
in and grading. Our Road Com
missioner has consci entiousIy en-
deavored to meet the requirements
for . proper maintenance OF the
streets, hut as long az dirt is the
material used to this end, we may
expect repetltions of the disagree
able experiences of the past week.
We are aw are thai 1T is very easy
to write about what ought TO be
done, and we know that money is
scarce, yet we cannot refrain from
suggesting that some material should
be used that will not leave the streets
in a worse condition after a rain
than before they were worked.
Gould not shells UT gravel be ob.
tanned? Would the cost of these
materials exceed the cost of constant
repetition of work under present
syste m?
As we suggest in another article,
1t might prove profitable to experl-
mens with vitrified clay.

Looking over the Annual Report
of Farmers Institutes just to hand
for 1906, held 10 the United States.
one cannot help depIoring the want
of interest taken in so vital a sub.
iect by the farmers OF Louisiana.
Quarantine was, to certain extent,
responsible for the small number
of institutes held (13); but Missis-
sippi found opportunity to hold
22O sessions, With a total attend
ance of 10000, against our 1867
One thing that initiates against us
Is the paltry amount OF State
appropriation ($2O0G.OO) for the
work. Some States give as high
as $50, 100000.
To the best of my knowledge we
have only had one institute meet
ing held in Covington in five years,
and that was fizzle. through the
delay CT the local train, and also
a misunderstanding after the Di
rectors arrived.
I think that the time is ripe for
another, in fact several. The Ex
detrimental Stations are working
for our benefit and have fund OF
up todate information that can be
ours for The asking. What do you
say, farmers of st. Tammany Par

To Benefit Farmers.

The farmer will never, single.
handed, reap the benefit that should
| accrue from bis labors, because he
has to compete with attainments in
all other business which are the re.
suit Of united action, united capital
or united forces of some descrip'
ton. Sooner or later the lesson
must be learned that the pooling oil
interests by the farmer is the only
wav of competing in the struggle
that il gong on all around them
View the condition OF the organized
cotton farmers of to day, as COM
pared to the results of their unas-
sited efforts of few years ago.
You may bring your farm to its
highest state Of cultivation and pro-
ductlveness, but if you cannot in
duce others to join you in your ad.
vanced methods you must sell In
the same old market, at the same
old prices, and you must meet the
same failure that has attended the
efforts Of SO many OF you hereto
fore.
We believe that one Of the surest
plans for creating the necessary
stimulus, one Of the stepping stones
to united, progressive movement
among the farmers, is this plan of
MIR. Millar's for holding institute
meetings in the parish. 1t offers
an opportunity for exchange of
knowledge and invites discussion
and interest. And furthermore,
you will be enabled to obtain ad-
vice and information from sources
that are thoroughly reliable and
trustworthy, while you meet those
who are in sympathy with your eff
forts for Improvement. Notice Mr.,
MilIar's card in another column.

evils to De eradlcated; and when
these things have been accom-

might be much worse. The gen

the future.

The Road Question.

The Department of Public Roads
of the United States government
gives some very significant figures
in regard to the value of good
roads. One, newly constructed.
IN one year from completion,
showed an increased valuation of
property along it's territory of 90
to 100 per cent, and the road was
kept IN good repair at cost of
$33 per mile. On the old road a
team of horses pulled two bales of
cotton, while the same team now
draws twelve bales.
Such figures as these soon make
up the cost of a first, class road.
We do not believe that any one in.
veatlgating the subject will long
be in doubt as to the benefit of a
good road or the advisability of
putting the money into it. There
is an old and true saying that
"Where there's will theirs q
wav," and we believe there Is a
way TO have good roads in 81.
Tammany parish, and we further
believe tina: the way Will ultimate
IL be made clear. The fact Is that
our roads are just had enough to
cause complaint and dlssatlsfac-
ton, but rot bad enough to create
the desperate struggle for their
improvement that will insure re-
formation in our manner of con-
structing them.
We are another step on the road
to success by the acquisition of one
more road machine, and we trust
that our capable and energetic
member from Slidell, Mr.. Miles,
will see to it that the machine does
the work and does It properly.
If 1t is found that machine.
worked roads will not stand the
test, then some effort should be
made to find material that will
meet the requirements of road
construction without being of pro.
hibltive cost. There is one sub
stance that has been successfully
used in road construction that
should be In full supply in this
parish, and this substance is clay.
This, after being burned or vitrl-
fed, has been found to answer all
purposes, and is we'll worth trial.
We would also suggest that the
same material could be used on the
streets of Covington with profit,
both as TO convenient travel and
appearance and while we are not
positive as 10 the formation of
dust, we believe that 1t would
greatly lessen the clouds of dust
that are driven with every wind
during dry spell.
