Secret of Farming Success.

If corn can be raised at a profit
in the short farming season in
the North it can surely be raised
at profit in the longer farming
of the South, and if hogs can be
protitably raised where there is
snow on the ground for four
months in the year they can be
raised at an equal profit where
snow is seldom seen, or at least
is butan incident of but few days.
The true secret of farming
success is to raise all that is
needed for home consumption
and sell what is left for profit,
and the Northern farmer has
learned this lesson. Perhaps it
was forced upon him by the ne
cessities of the climate, but the
Southern farmer ought to pos
sess common sense enough to
see that if the Northern farmer
can make money by dong what
his climate forces him to do, that
he, the Southern farmer, can
make more money by doing the
same thing voluntarily and in
diligently. Crowley Signal.

What is a Judgel

A Judge is lawyer who was
popular enough to be elected or
who had sufficient pull to get
himself appointed to the bench.
Ano that is all he is.
1t might easily happen that his
popularity rested upon an up
right life and public knowledge
of his ability, or that his pull was
largely his good reputation, per-
s0nal and official, In most cases
such is the fact.
Moreover, it is doubtful if any
equal number Of men in any 9TH
err profession or calling will show
so high an average of honesty,
fairness and ability as the judges,
State and Federal, in the United
States.
This does not prevent excep-
tions to the rule and at bottom it
cannot be denied that it is not the
Judge who is sacred, it is justice.
The Judge on the bench is just
what he was when he was q law
yer at the bar.
The ermine does not improve
his morals or change his charac.
ter.
In all history there have been
corrupt judges. There are cor
rupt judges to day.
To say so and to attack them is
no more anarchy than is the ar
resting of the thief.
Justice is about the highest
thing we know. No nation can
lose respect for it without the
gravest peril.
The judge is only the medium
by which we transmit and apply
| il.
Electricity is not condemned
because a wire breaks.
| Norris justice discredited he
cause some judges are not up
right.
Criticism of the bench makes
mot for anarchy but for the more
perfect administration of the
law. Minneapolis News.

You mustn't come near baby in your
tailormade attire,
For in every thread the microbes
siyly grope;
But your body you must cover with an
overall of rubber,
And keep it washed with antiseptic
soap.
You mustn't feed the baby till you've
Pasteurized the milk,
And the COW must be of very special
breed;
And q qualified inspector must daily
disinfect her
In accordance viii the last official
creed
You mustn't wash the baby till the
waters been distilled
Mixed with Condy of the proper
kind and>weight:
And before the sponge goes in it, you
must dip it for a minute
In solution of corrosive sublimate.
You mustn't dress the baby till it's
linen has been boiled
In the strongest sterilizer that is
The brush must then be heated and the
comb be always treated
With baking in an oven ofits own.
You mustn't put the baby in its tiny
cot to sleep,
Till with gauze you've covered every
inch of skin;
For the flies, without your knowing,
are always microbe sowing,
And at every little crevice they'll
creep in.
You mustn't leave the baby for the
fraction of an hour,
TIL it's covered with a patent glazed
wigwam;
It's the only certain shield-if hermet
ically sealed,
Where the "goblins'' can never
never come.

Attempted Train .Wreckiag,

Several attempts at wrecking
trains on the Louisiana Railway
& Navigation Co.'S road in this
parish above town have been
made within the past ten days,
but fortunately without success.
The last attempt was made Mon
day morning, about a mile above
town. After a freight had pass
ed down q fishplate was removed
and several ties piled across the
road. All this in readiness for
the northbound passenger train.
Fortunately however, the
freight after stopping at Bayou
Sara backed up the road and dis
covered the wreckage, repairing
it before the passenger reached
that point. 1t is not known who
the guilty party or parties are.
No effort should be spared to dis
cover the identity of the miscre.
ants that they may be dealt with
as severely as the law permits.

How to Protect the Babv,

You mustn't kiss the baby or you'll
poison it with germs.
For they Turk where every tiny dim
pie dips;
Yes, in every hole and corner, and
your auntie-you must warn her
There are microbes by the million
on her lips.
You mustn't pat the baby, you must
tell pour Uucle Sam
That We can't allow the microbes
near the cot:
He must boil his hands in soda, and
an aromatic odor
Must exhale from every finger-tip
he's got.
You mustn't touch the baby with your
whiskers or your hair,
For the microbes drop like pollen
from 3 flower;
II you really would protect her-get a
hot-air disinfector
And keep your head inside it for an
hour.
You mustn't talk to baby, for the mi
crobe bogies swarm
In all the little syllables that float;
So, before you talk and frolic, get a
gallon of carbolic,
And pour it strong and scalding
down your throat.
You mustn't sing to baby, nor whistle
tia tune,
Uuless you heed the scientific rule
To fix q mask securely and to breathe
Your music purely
Through pad of patent Sal Alem-
broth wool.
You mustn't use . handkerchief to
wipe the baby's nose,
Or a hundred million microbes will
diffuse;
For bactericidai laws say that anti.
septic gauze
Is the only proper article to use.

Advice from a Home Expert.

Laurel Hill, La, Feb. 3, 1909.
The TRUE DEMOCRAT,
Dear Friend: Every one in the
parish who intends planting cot
ton, should get as quickly as pos
sible Special Bulletin No. 1, on
boil weevil, La. State Board of
Agriculture and immigration.
1t establishes the fact beyond
doubt that close rows 3 feet
from drill to drill and two inches
in the drill will almost double the
product of 6 foot rows and Is to
"a inches in the drill.
Why does Georgia make 2 to 4
bales per acre on her poor soils?
Thirty to thirty six inches in the
row and a close stand with good
cultivation and fertilization an
swers the reason why.
But every planter should get
special boil weevil bulletin No. l
La. State Board of Agriculture,
Baton Rouge. 1t is worth hun
dreds and thousands of dollars
in boil weevil districts.

The State Funds.

The three and one-half per
cent interest rate became effec-
tive Sunday midnight. The total
securities required of the fiscal
agents amounts to $1,760,000.
The New Orleans banks put up
municipal and levee board bonds
as security for deposits, while
the country banks are protecting
the State primarily through
bonding companies. The amount
of the daily deposits will increase
during the next few days, and
will soon reach. the $4,000, 900
mark. Licenses are now rolling
in in large amounts. Captain
Steele said that he did not know
when the State board of liquida-
ton will again meet.

Quotation and Comment.

So long as the poll tax law re-
mains on the statute, book, it
would be well for those who are
at the head of the schools IN
every parish of the State to take
a deeper interest in the payment
of the polls. The children should
be taught the Importance of pay
ing the poll tax so that they
could in turn remind their faith
ers. The newspapers in the past
have been given the task of keep
ing the people posted about the
payment of the poll tax, but as
the public schools derive the
benefit of this tax, it would be
but right that they should help
to make the law a success. As
sumption Pioneer.
This is in line with what we
advocated two years ago, viz: to
interest the children in seeing
that poll taxes are paid. This
would be especially efficacious in
the cities, where the greater poll
tax delinquencies occur. A cru
SADIE by school children would
stir up the matter greatly.
In old days, before the school
boards were elective, any such
row as has occurred in any one
of the three parishes, resulting
as they have in disorganization
and turmoil, would have been
followed by a complaint by the
State Superintendent to the
State Board, and the dismissal of
| the recalcitrant members.-Bat.
