A Fish Mystery.

Where do bullheads come from when
the river is high and where do they
go to when it is low? Are questions
that no one yet has undertaken to
answer. When the river is raised
and rolled by summer freshet the
whole stream seems to swarm with
these fish and every part of the main
channel is we'll stocked without their
number being diminished in the
bayous.
When the stream recedes and clears
the bulIheads immediately become
scarce. They disappear almost en-
tireIy from the main channel and
even the sloughs appear much depleted
of their number. All anglers are
familiar with these conditions. but
where is the angler who can explain
them Eek.

graded schools for the year ending

Supt. G. p. Cary.
The aid to the first class school

comply with certain requirements of
the state law in reagrd to the build

This year a score of schools failed
to comply with the conditions of the

There are 159 first class, and 274.
second class schools which will re-
ceive aid this year. The annual ap-
preparation for this purpose is $3.50,
900. but the salaries and expenses of
the rural school inspectors are deduct
ed from the fund before it is appor-
toned. The state rural school in
spectors receive a salary of $1,S00
each. The inspectors are George H.
Drewry and Walter FL. Hunt.
Nine Grant county schools, four
of the first class and five of the seconda

made out by Supt. Cary. There is,
but one change of interest to Grant
county people in the latest list. Patch

ceiving aid IN Grant county are

the farm beautiful" will all be di s.

DOGS THOUGHT MAD SHOULD
BE TIED UP AND WATCHED
VIII Develop in Persons
Between Three Weeks and Two
Months After Exposure.

The following suggestion and ad-
vice is from the Michigan State
Bacteriologist DIR. Holm, in regard to
the treatment of dogs afflicted with
rabies:
If person is bitten through cloth
ing, the wound is not so dangerous,
but if bitten on an exposed part, such
as the hands or face. the part should
be cauterized at once. Hydrophobia
will not develop in a person untik
after period of anywhere between
three weeks and two months. During.
this time the Pasteur treatment should
be taken if the dog really had hydro
dhobia.
One thing should be emphasized.
The dog supposed to be mad should
not be killed. He should be tied up
and watched. Ii he has the rabies he
will die by the very virtue of the
disease, if not, will recover, and those
he has bitten will be sure they have,
not contracted hydrophobia.

tableau effects never before seen in
circus pageants. Serried ranks of
richly robed knights and ladies,
realistic groupings from the pages of
tournament history, allegoric floats,
and magnificent chariots, royalty
carved. gold glittering, and enmir-
rored, dazzle the eye and charm the
senses, while the music from 3 great
bands fill the ear with strains of in
spring melody. Here roll great
open dens in which are seen in rest
less stride savage denizens from the
earth's deepest jungles, there in state

Reflections Of an Idle Fellow.

Ouce upon time | heard some one
say, "The Lord loveth a cheerful
liar = May be that the person who
used this travesty upon the Lord
meant to say that The. Lord loves
a cheerful giver.' But as this is the
season when fish had better stay in the
deep water. let the former stand.
A few hundred years after the Lord
created the world, be found that he
made mistake in creating man; re-
pented and caused all the fountains of
the deep to break up, and the
windows of heaven to open. and made
man food for the fishes excepting the
Noah family. The preachers say
he kept very poor seed.

closed with ideal weather for the
growing crops. Cotton is doing fine;
it is blooming right along, and has
already a small crop Of big bolls. It
keeps ahead Of the weevil, and pros
poets are far better than last year.

expected it would.

Truck Farmers meeting at Mr.. Splane's

reason Of making SO many ears in

A Big Fig Crop.

New Orleans, July l2.-More than

the yield Of the fg crop in New Or

George ". Dunbar, Of the George w.
Dunbar Sons, this years crop has
been the largest in the history Of
Louisiana.
There are hundreds Of trees ii the
residential part of New Orleans whose
yield runs in high figures.
The tomato crop in Louisiana has
been a sort Of a failure said Mr..
Dunbar. This is due to the heavy
rains which killed the vines. How
ever, this will hardly effect the New
Orleans market so far as canned to-
matoes are concerned. The country
is governed BY the Baltimore market
whose crop SO far has been reported
fair

Congressman Joseph q. Ransdell IS
an ardent believer in Investigation

vestigating the subject Of raising
hogs for market and the establish
ment Of small packing houses in
North Louisiana, says the Delhi
Banner. He realizes chat the
farmers will have to give up the
all-cotton idea, and devote their at
tention to other matters. He has
had extensive correspondence with
railroad officials and men who have
had practical experience along these
lines, and he asserts that he believes
North Louisiana is an ideal section
for stock raising and that one or two
small packing houses located at cen
trail points would yield good dividends.

DECREASE in ASSESSMENTS.
InsampTsle Returns to Commission Indicate
Decrease Or 4gl0s,775.

Baton Rouge, July I4.-Instead Of
the $25,000,000 increase which Gov
ernor Sanders and other State officials
expected the parishes so far report
ing show in the assessment abstracts
for 1909 there IS an actual decrease,
in comparison with the total assess
ment Of 1903, of $9,1O3,775. There
are yet the parishes Of iberia, Living
ston, Madison, Point Coupee, Sabine,
st. Tammany, Union and VIM to
hear from. The abstracts from these
parishes have not been received By
Secretary Curly. The abstracts, how
ever, r expected in before the end
Of the week. It is from the compil-
atoms made by Secretary Curly from
the 1909 abstracts that are now in
hand that the fact of the SO 900
decrease for 1909 IS learned. Many
of the parishes show a decrease.
The parish of Galeasieu has an APP
proximate decrease of 100000 on
the sulphur mine property, and this
accounts for a big portion Of the fall
ing off. This is the first time within
years that the assessment of the
State has shown a decrease. This Is
the first time that the elective assess
ed system has been tried.
