A GreenIWinter.

The Lafayette Democrat sounds the
following warning which may we'll be
needed by everyone throughout the
state:
1t has been many years since Louis
lana has witnessed a winter so mild
and weather conditions SO fair through
out. All through the season vegeta-
ton has continued to flourish and at
Christmas many people lin Lafayette
had strawberries and other fruit in
abundance, grown in tho open. But
this, while pleasant c',o.sn, carries a
warning for our people from SAM
tary point of view. Green winters
make green graves, is an old but sig
nificant saying. and unless Drecau-
tions are taken, is apt to be fully veri-
fed this year.
1t is therefore of the highest import
ance that the town and each individual
citizen should heed the warning and
prepare for the long heated term now
before us. Not only should every
man pay strict attention 10 his person.
al habits, diet, etc, but too much
stress cannot be laid on cleanliness.
Filth is the hot-bed of all disease and
unless the town is kept in proper SAM
tary condition, much sickness will
prevail this year. Every householder
should see to it that cisterns are
screened, yards, sinks, etc. all kept
free of poisonous odors. See to il
that everything from the family down
to back yard is kept Clean not only
for one week, bat for the entire year
and health will be maintained ant
comfort insured. One dollar spen'
thus will return ten fold ia doctor
bills saved and drugs avoided. 49,

A Runaway.

a good deal of excitement was &C.
casioned Tuesday by the running
away of r. NJ. Gray's buggy team.
They became frightened, and broke
away from the negro holding them,
near the Calcasieu implement Store,
and ran north, leaving the road and
crossing the railroad track on the
right of way in front of the Welsh In
plement store, circling again they re-
crossed the railroad track and con-
tinued in their mad flight, crossing
bitches, sidewalks, and the railway
track again, with recklessneSs which
every moment threatened the destruc-
ton of the buggy, if not the lives OF
the horses. They were finally checked
in their wild career near the Eureka
hotel. Examination showed that the
only damage done the buggy was the
cracking of two spokes. This speaks
we'll for the buggy, which is one Of
the kind that the Calcasieu Implement
Company sell

The number of boil weevils killed in
this manner may not greatly reduce
the prospective damage by this pest,
but it will help.
In this connection it should be said
that the Experiment Stations and the
State Crop Pest Commission are act
lively advocating the complete exter-
mination of the cattle tick on every
farm in Louisiana. The methods by
which the ticks can be eXterminated
will be gladly explained by either of
the undersigned, upon request from
any cattleman or farmer.
In cooperation with the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, the complete
eradication of the cattle tick in a por-
ton of Louisiana will be shortly un-
dertaken, and will be extended into
new territory as rapidly as State and
Government appropriations are pro-
yided for the work. While it will
doubtless require many years to Grad
icate this costly parasite from the en-
tire State, the farmer should not now
neglect the simple measures which will
help keep down the number of ticks
this season. Let us do all we can to
reduce the hordes of ticks preparatory
to the grand final campaign that will
be made to GUST the tick from Louisi-
ana territory.
By all means burn over the pastures
and uncultivated fields and do it with
out delay. 1t means much to every
owner of cattle.

Public Roads in Louisiana.

The Department OF Agriculture,
which has just concluded its investi-
CATION into the matter Of public roads
in the State of Louisiana, finds that
there are -, S97 miles Of road, and of
this mileage only twenty-SiX are sur
faced with gravel, and eight with
stone; in other words, there are only
about thirty.four miles of modern i'm
proved roads, the rest being the anti
quated dirt roads of our forefathers.
BY comparing the total road mile
age with the area of the State it ap-
pears that there are 0.54 of one mile
of public road for each square mile Of
area. A comparison of the mileage
with the population indicates that
there is one mile of public road for
each fifty-hve persons, but only one
mile OF improved road for each 49,
$50 inhabitants.
The police juries of the various
counties, who occupy the same rela-
tive position as the county commits
sioners in other States, are author
lied to levy special taxes on real or
personal property in the parishes,
and the tax must not exceed SIS per
annum to each person liable to taxa
ton, the funds received from this
source being applied to the roads ex.
clusively.
Every able-bodied male inhabitant
between the ages of Is and 80, not ex-
empt by law, is required to work on
the public roads not to exceed twelve
days each year, or to pay 81 for each
day that he has been summoned and
did not work.
The amount derived from the prop
erty tax and expended on the roads
was S345, 45l.S6 and the estimated cash
value OF the labor tax was 5000, 42l,
making total of S9jl, S72.S6 for the
year 1904.
The counties showing the most mile
age of road are Calcasieu, which has
1000 miles; Catahoula, which has 1900
miles: Natchitoches, with 1900 miles:
Tangipahoa county, with 200 miles:
and VermilliOn county. with 1900
miles. Ouchita county has but 800
miles OF road, but boasts of fifteen
miles of gravel surfaced roads, while

tain the gravest fears for a summer
and autumn in Louisiana which will
witness the death of hundreds of cat
tie from excessive administration,
and incidentally the death of hun
dreds of calves from Texas fever or
murrain, the disease which is trans
mitted by the cattle ticks.
In the pasture lands where there
were ticky cattle last fall and during
the early winter, there are now thou
sands upon thousands of tick eggs on
the ground, snugly hid away in the
grass and rubbish, waiting to hatch
out and infest the cattle within the
next month or so. There are also
thousands more of minute seed ticks,
living semi-dormant, ready to get up
on the cattle at the first opportunity.
If the pastures and uncultivated
fields be burned off now, before the
new grass becomes too green To pre-
vent the burning, very large per.
centage of these eggs and seed ticks
will be destroyed by the fire; and the
coming summers losses from the tick
will be materially lower than if these
eggs and ticks are allowed to remain
in the pastures unframed.
We do not hesitate to say that we
view the situation with no little alarm
and we therefore urge every farmer to
at once burn over every pasture and
every field that is not going to be in
cultivation this year. This burning
should be given as soon as possible,
and by all means by April LIST.
In the boil weevil infested section
this burning of the pastures and
grassy lands will catch goodly
number of alternating boil weevils
not yet out of their winter quarters.

The laws of nature are memorable
and the man who violates them must
suffer the penalty. Impure water and
milk, foul air and general unsanitary
conditions if permitted, will bring dis
ease and death just as sure as night
follows day. 1t is not meant here TO
say our town is in so filthy a condi-
ton that some dreadful scourge is apt
to break out in our midst, but an at
tempt has here been made to show
that climatic conditions render neces-
sary every possible precaution for the
preservation of the health of our peo-
pie during the coming spring and sum.
