Suggestions.

Water the horses before feeding,
rather than after, and avoid copious
draughts of cold water when the ami
NAL Is heated, and particularly if it is
permitted to cool off rapidly.
In attacks of ordinary collie in horses
try smudging them Make as dense
as possible, by igniting old rags or
chips and hold the nostrils of the horse
over the smoke until they run freely.
This is very simple, mandy remedy
and has been used on horses by the
editor of the Gem State Rural many
times with good results.
Teach the boy. when he is hitch
ing up a horse, especially a young or
nervous one, to buckle and take down
the lines about the first thing, So that
they can be seized in case the animal
becomes frightened or tries to run
away. This precaution may sometimes
prevent a runaway or accident, and is
an easy thing to do.

everything else unconsidered, it is a
splendid help to the digestion.
Walking about the room on the

she is drawing the ribs apart and Civ

An excellent exercise for filling out
the hollows of the neck and throat is
to rise upon the tips of the toes at
the moment Of drawing in the long
breaths. Then, still standing upon the
balls of the feet. the exercisef must
hold the breath while she counts IS,
endeavoring at the same time, to di-

Another good neck exercise Is to
move the head rythmically from side
to side, first one way and then the
other, then backward and forward,
and finally around, from first one side
and then another in circular way.

momentuous subject; while all those
who deal with the value Of bodily ex-
ercises absolutely affirm that each one
however far removed the movement
may be from the legs, helps toward ac-

Finally, let me say that to walk

SO. if you have no time or taste

Etiquette in Visiting Cards
BY MADEMOiSELLE MlSfiT.

There are some important times

new resident in a neiShbOrhOOd; with
a death in the family, when the words
With sincerest sympathy are added;
when a gentleman sends flowers or

one is invited to reception but can

at all receptions, home marriages and
funerals As soon as the word OF a
card is sent to the house by post, with
the words already indica ted of several
weeks the head of the afflicted family
shows appreciation of the notice by
sending out cards, either unmarked or
with deep appreciation Of your

At home marriages, funerals and
receptions the card is left in a tray in
the hall in passing it. and if the hus-
band of the caller is prevented for
some reason from coming to the house
of eaiety or mourning, the wife lays
his personal card beside her own.

The size of visiting cards varies
from wear to year. but persons of good
taste make it rule not to follow all
of fashions vagaries in this direction
Cards Of medium size and square ef-

the unmarried. Cards for men are
more slender but the old narrow slip

within fraction of 3 "a inches in
length and two in width. The same
size is perfectly suitable for women.

that those who persist in adding

of this social custom. Cards with bev-

Dear Sir:-Allow me to call your
at tpntion to the sale of 300 or 4OO1'
acres of .'cut over" land sold at pub
lie sale in CoIfax ia November last, at
"66H cents per acre" "Some 400
or 1900" were offered, and ouly 300
or 400 sold at that low price. h. h.
White, Esq, attorney for the success
sion of Nugent was present. Nix.
White, representing the same success
sion, bought in, December last, 26OO
acres of "cut over" lands at lone dol
lar per acre" for a client.
Aud yet, your Board attempted to
assess such lands in this parish at
81 per acre. | have AZ interest in
$500 acre tract of ''cut over" lands
which | will sell to you at 81 per
acre.
You may argue in reply to this Of
fer that property should be assessed
at what it will bring. How about
the 66x cents per acre? And the 81
per acre?
Also. please advise me why the
Board madea standing arrangement
with Mr.. Crandell, who represents the
nonresident speculator holdings OF
more than 100, 900 acres in this par
ish, and placed said A l long leaf pine
timber lands at an average of $11.32
per acre.
This -hne. long Leaf pima tiuahss
should he assessed at at least $17 90
per acre, which would he only one
sixth it's value.
Here is clear loss to the parish OF
more than $1,000, not to mention
the loss to the State and schools.
Pardon me for remarking, merely
incidentally, that you gentlemen APP
pear to "have it in" for the farming
lands, horses, mules, etc., ETC., by as
secsing them in excess to value. You
make no distinction between the farm
lands in the levee district, which are
burdened With ten mil tand ) cent
Der acre levee tax, and the farm lands
not SO taxed.
Even the saw mill manufacturer
who pays all kinds of taxes and Ms
sists in making the community worth
living in is assessed at higher values
than he should be.
Recently an $4,000 acre tract ol
long leaf pine timber in Calcasieu sold
for more than million dollars. The
timber lands, above referred to, in
this parish, are equally as good al
the said tract recently sold. Why
then let such shameful assessment
of $11 30 per acre remain on the roIis
OF our parish.
When the speculative owners OF TIN
timber lands in our parish sell same
YOU mark my word that there viii
J br no "A, ""B," GO lands. Oh no
The entire acreage of all OF said tracts
will be $65 or $75 per acre lands.
Respectfully submitted,

VOL. XXXII.
A Hog Market Assured.

The Shreveport Times gives the
following account of arrangements
that have been made in that city
to provide hog market and give
assurance that the market of
the city may not become glntted
at any time:
North Louisiana hog breeders
will be offered market at Sbreve-
port this year regardless of whetb-
er they have one hog or carload
of swine to sell. Efforts by the
packing house committee have
resulted in an agreement with j. Z.
Mahlen and G. G. Herndon, who
will buy all hogs offered and ship
to to the packing house centers all
in excess of the local supply.
By this arrangement the North
Louisiana hog raisers can bring
their swine to Shreveport with the
assurance that the market will not
glutted, and he will receive Just
price for his meat, in keeping with
the ruling prices and the class of
swine he offers.
The buyers will take all hogs
brought to the Shreveport abatoir,
which is located about one mile
out of town on the Mansfield road.
Friday and Saturday will be buy
ing days and the farmers will be
requested to bring in their hogs
on the days specified. The plans
matured by the committee provld-
ed that the hogs shall be bought
by the two buyers, who by pur-
chasing all rendered will be in po-
sition to ship all in excess OF the
local demand to the packing house
ceuters in car lots. Through this
arrangement the man with few
head of swine will be able to get
just price for his hogs, while here
to fore he was often forced to sell
out at sacrifice after bringing his
meat to Shreveport.
According to the arrangement
made Friday and Saturday will be
market days and the buyers will
continue to take all hogs market
able delivered at the abattoir from
now until September l.
This arrangement grows out of
the packing house and corn. meet
ipgs recently held in Shreveport,
and the efforts to interest a num-
Der of packers N Shreveport as a
desirable location for plant.
w. Z. Glassell, chairman of this
committee, says the greatest diff
Guilty IN interesting capitalists In
Shreveport as packing house To-
cation is the belief of those inter
ested in the business that desir-
able class of hogs cannot be raised
in this section.
For this reason, he is inclined
to believe that the buying agency
is the first step toward securing a
packing house, as shipping high
grade swine to the markets will
prove the best means to convince
the packers that hogs of a deslr-
able weight and class are raised IL
this section.
Reports from throughout the
country say that more hogs are be-
ing raised in North Louisiana this
year than ever before in its history
and the local committee feels tina
its arrangements with Messrs
Mahlen and Herndon will make i
possible for the breeders to dispos'
of all their surplus meat to goot
market which can care for all tina
may be placed in its hands.
