Cotton Ind The Weeril.

Last Saturday Messrs. Evans
aud Perrin demonstrators of the
United States department of Agri-
culture, assigned to this district of
Louisiana, to discuss with our
planters, cotton aud the boil vice.
vii we're here.
These gentlemen have made spe-
cial studies of cotton and the wee
vii, they know the kind of cotton
to grow in certain sections, they
tell you how to keep down the
pest, and the way to grow cotton
in weevil infested sections. Messrs
Evans and Perrin are not expert
mentors, this is not their depart
ment, they are instructors and de-
monstrators, they are sent by the
United States Government to tell
the planters what was done else
where under similar conditions,
and what was failure and what was
success, the government officials
believe that the people should pro-
fit by the experience Of others, and
if We fellow the principle of those
who were successful, we can rea-
sonsbly expect to have the same
satisfactory result.
Messrs. Evans and Perrin have
arranged with the local committee
in charge to have three meetings
in this lower section of the Pa
risb, which dates have been fixed
for the IL, IL, IA and and possibly
the 18th of this month. The meet
ipgs will probably be held at
Parks, Isle Liable aud Cade. The
committee will advertise these
meetings in due time.
The planters and all our people
are urged to attend these meetings,
they can learn lots of good, valua-
bic information from the govern.
ment experts.

The Train Service.

When freight train was an-
nounced on this branch few days
ago our people felt some relief. be-
cause they really expected it was
a freight train, and that the pas
senger train would not have to
lose it's time looking after the
freight, but in this they we're sad
ly disappointed. The socalled
freight, is nothing but a cane
train. and incidentally handle
through, or car load freight, but
does not touch the local freight,
which. as usual, is left for the pas
senger train.
During the past week the pas
senger train was late several hours
nearly every day, and We learn
reached Port Barre late in the
night. We believe this is an i'm
position on the travelling public.

The Day Of the Dead.
The day of the dead 4!

Inc DAY OF the uo6O
AS is usual with our people the
day of the dead is one entirely gi-
ven to the loved ones who have
left US, and who have gone to their
eternal rest.
1t is a day which is beautiful,
because at least once every year,
the people put aside everything to
give remembrance to their dear
dead, and go to to their graves
clean up and with loving hands,
place their last abode in proper
repairs, give prayer to their
souls, place upon them some to-
kens of their love.
1t is indeed beautiful and i'm
pressive to visit tho old cemetery
on this occasion, it shows that
those who have gone are not for.
gotten as long as some of theirs
live.
The old cemetery was in good
shape this year, the costly monu-
ments of those of means had beau.
tiful decorations, the humble
tombs some flowers, the graves
had theirs and every known place,
had the touch of some loving
hands and some little tokens of
remembrance.

Maine Poultry Experst Cleared Lit
tie Matter of 1870 Per Cent.

Near the little village of Damaris-
Gotta, Maine, lives Mrs. Rufus Hitch
cock, who finds both pleasure and
profit in raising fowls. Her hus-
band, while he runs small dairy,
willingly admits that his wife makes
more money than he does, says the
Country Gentleman.
Many women feel that when they
have neither the time nor strength
for outside work. Mrs. Hitchcock
took up poultry raising in order to
divert her mind and give her an ex-
cuse for being out of doors for an
hour or so every day. The poultry
houses, two in number are 51k by
101a feet and Az by 10h feet
each. While they are warmly built
there is nothing in the least fancy
about them. There are no parti-
lions in the houses, the fowls having
the entire floor space free. The
flock numbers 40. / nthe larger
house 270 hens and II cocks are
kept, while in the smaller building
are 200 hens and Is cocks.
Mrs. Hitchcock believes in mashes
and feeds a warm mixture every day.
In addition to this she uses oats and
corn. The youngsters are started
on a commercial chick food, which is
fed for the first month. Then comes
the mash, with sacked corn and
rolled oats. All the Matching and
rearing is done with incubators and
breeders. The chicks are all hatch
