Weevils Killing Cows.

According to a gentleman from
Brasux Bridge another sin can be
laid at the door OF the Mexican
bool weevil, and this under most
peculiar circumstances. The gen.
tloman owns farm near Breau1
Bridge and after gathering his
crop turned his cattle into the
fold to get the benefit of shattsr-
ed corn and hay remaining. Dur
ing the last few days six cows have
died and death has been traced to
the boil weevils that infested the
cotton patches by the thousands.
From what has been ascsrtained it
appears that the recent warm wea-
ther has caused the cotton plants
to put out quite a vigorous growth
about the base of the stalk, and
the insects in search of food have
gathered in great numbers in the
tender buds of the plant. The
cattle have greedy eaten this new
growth and with it swallowed num-
bers OF the weevil, which in some
way has produced disastrous re-
suits. Whether the weevils have
created poison in tho stomach Of
the animals or in some other way
effected the vital organs has not
vet been discovered, but tho gem
tleman aud his friends arc all "a.
tisfed that tho weevils are respon.
sible for tho death of tho cows. 1t
is the intention to call tho matter
to the notice of the State Depart.
ment OF Agriculture aud If posi-.
ble decide the question on a scisn.
ti6c basis. Reports have como
from several portions of the State
during the past season to tho ef.
feet that children have been poi.
sonod by eating berries upon
which the weevils were feeding,
aud while this has been ridiculed
by the government experts as i'm
possible, yet many people through
out this parish firmly believe that
the pest does resort to other
plants for food in times OF stress
and that it is capable somehow to
affect animals injuriously when
taken into the stomach. 1t would
servo to quiet much apprehension
among farmers were the State de.
partment to take up this subject
and verify the actual facts Of the
case beyond any doubt"

IL for any reason you have not
sprinkled your clothes the night be-
fore you wish to iron them, try
sprinkling them with boiling hot
water Use a clean whisk broom,
as 1t sprinkles them much finer and
evener than by dipping the water in
your hand.
AS soon as your clothes are sprin.
killed. and tightly rolled up, put on
your irons and heat. BY the time
they are hot your clothes will be
ready to iron as nicely as If they
had lain over night. Always iron
the linens last, as they require
more dampness.
Dress skirts will not sag IL they
are provided with tape straps even
ly. pinned with safety pins to the
skirt band and are hung on two
hooks instead of one.
A first and indeed almost the only
rule needed for conduct in public
place Is to strive constantly to eff
face yourself Avoid any word or
action that will call attention to
you. This for conduct; and for con-
versatiOn with a companion, re-
member always to speak in low
tone, to omit the mention of your
fried's name, and, above all, to
suppress the names of persons of
whom you may be speaking. This
last caution may serve you bitter
humiliation or embarrassment, for
intimate friends, relatives even, of
those upon whom your words may
carelessly or unkindly dwell, may
be close beside you.
