$IO,OO0,OOO DECREASE
in STATE ASSESS
MENT ROLL.

Baton Rouge, Oct. 18.-With seven
assessment rolls yet to be received it
is estimated that the decrease in the
State taxes will be a little more than
the 100000 which the State
Board of Equalization figured.
The parishes yet to be received are
Bienyille, Iberia, Lafayette, Lafourche,
Madison. Morehouse and Tangipahoa.
The assessment rolls filed with the
State Auditor this year have come
nearer the figures Of the Board Of
Equalization than last year. Last
year the assessors were SO far of
that the auditor would not accept
the rolls, and q special meeting Of the
Board Of Equalization had to be held
to authorize the acceptance.
OF this years decrease S6,O0O,000
comes from The sulphur mines at Cal
~casieu, and $2,5o0,O00 for exempt
property in New Orleans.
The assessment roll of DeSoto par
ish was received today, showing a de-
crease of 1896, TIT. The total prop
erty value for 1903 is S3.874.23O.

AMERICAN EXTRAVA-
GANCE in CHOICE
OF FOOD.

There have been recent complaints
of the increased cost of living in the
United States, and while such charges
may have been specially directed
against the new tariff which has not
yet come into force, there is no ques-
ton that these complaints grow
largely out Of the extravaganza Of
the American people in their style Of
living, remarks the Picayune.
Il has been said that any foreign
family can live on what the average
American family wastes. We see
this in the fact that foreign immi-
grants with barely enough Of this
worlds goods to pass Che immigra-
lion inspectors, come among us, and
in q few years they have accumulated
property, and il a few decades they
take their places among our wealth
lest citizens. Their succesa is largely
accomplished by economy in their
methods Of living, while they are IS
far from starvation methods as are
those of our own native population,
who live well and never get rich.
To get some idea Of the extrava-
gance Of our people it will not be out
of place to quote Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wilson. w~horecently returned
to Washington from a trip to the
West. He said:
THE average laborer is to-day aiv-
ing better than Queen Elizabeth did
III her time. Take the meat bills Of
the laborer in Washington today.
You will find that he eats meat three
times q day, and, what is more. is not
content with any kind, but wants the
best cuts. He can afford them. AS
d result the price Of meat il away up.
While The farmers are producing
more beef every year, they are not
producing enough to meet the in
crease in population. | do not look
for the prices to decrease materially
soon
Ia 4 recent conversation with one
OF the leading hotel proprietors and
caterers in this city it was learned
that 80 per cent Of the demand for
meats is for 20 per cent Of the car
caaa Of the steer. The demand for
the choice cuts force the butchers to
charge big prices for them, while the
cuts which are intrinsically just as
good are neglected at 6 cents and
thereabouts a pound. Everybody
want s~irloins and tenderloins and
porterhouse steaks. and they are
costly. There is no question that the
cheaper meats when properly cooked
are tender, sweet, wholesome and just
al nourishing. but they are neglected
by our natives, who must have the
best while they offer every requisite
I'd persons who are not so exactiag.
Meats for 6, 5 and 10 cents a pound
are COED enough for anybody except
those who want to spend money. and
tllee complain Of the increased cost
0 ttsinr. There IS no special in
crease ii tie cost of vegetables. and
as loag As oleemargarine passes for
butter viii those even who profess
20 be- judges. there is no real con-
siderable increase in the cost Of food.

Sheep on the Farm.

As the new settler takes posses. sion of the western ranges and fences in his farm and pastures there is a growing demand for a few head of sheep to run on the farm. At the coming National Stock Show in Denver during the week of January 8-15 there will be a magnificent exhibit of all! the various breeds of sheep and the western farmer will have all excel lent opportunity to decide what breed will be best for use on his farm. Sheep are the best help.th farmer has in keeping his place clean from weeds. They ear every thing in the weed line and few head of ewes herded around the fence corners and along the edges of the fields where the weeds are thick will Haccomplish wonders. They more thap pay for their board, keep the farm supplied with fresh mutton and incidentally return a nice revenue in wool. The sheep exhibit at the Denver show will be one of the greatest ever held in the country. Practically every breed known in this country will be on exhibit and it is hoped that move ment will be started to encourage each farmer to keep a few head of ewes on his place. They harm nothing and are profitable adjunct to every farm.
