He Loves Her

He loves her, so he says, And yet sometimes 1 doubt it, For every little thing she does, He makes a fuss about it. Impatient he's with her, Cross are the words he uses; He loves his wife, and yet His wife he most abuses. Poor little woman. Oft I've seen the tear drops start; When angry words that he has used Have cut her to the heart, His pleasures now come first, Her comfort matters not; She is his wife aud so must be Contented with her lot. He loves her. so he says, For her he'd quickly fight; And once when she was i'll He uursed her day and night. He would not wrong her faith, And yet I'd like to know Just what there is iu love that makes Man treat q woman so.

THE STOCK LAW.

At the last session of the Police
Jury a stock ordinance was adop-
ted to take effect from January LIST
1910.
The Messenger has advocated
this measure for several years and
our only surprise is how could the
Police Jury aud the people not
see the great advantage OF this
law many years ago.
Today, we have no more prairles,
almost every acre of cultlvable
lands is under cultivation or fen
ced in as pastures. Very few, if
any cattle are roaming at large,
and if any, they have no right to
be.
Fences are costly when they have
to be placed around plantation
and kept in the condition it is ne
cessary to keep the cattle from
getting in the fields. Ii is much
less expensive to build a good
strong pasture of few acres and
in this manner take good care OF
the stock.
We are a strong advocate of the
mo fence" law and we believe
when the planters will realize that
it is for their own benefit that this
law was passed, there will not be
any objection to it, except from
those who expect to feed theil
stock on the land of their neigh
!. bors.
We hope that the Police Jur,
Z will not listen to the little opposi
ton raised against it until they
have give it a fair trial, after thi.
is done, we are satisfied that non,
of our planters will want to e
back to the expensive system Of
fencing their plantations to keel
out a few head of scrub
which may be roaming at large

Unique Way of Destroying
the Boil Weevil Pest.

Mr.. Edmond Deville, who return

Monday, reports that he received
information in that town of a uni

mode of destroying the boil vice.
vii adopted by the farmers of the
Coulee Croche section. in this pa
irish.
The pest, it seems, have appear
ed there in numbers, and the farm
ers have bethought themselves to
experiment in destroying them.
1t is well known that most bugs
will come to light when shown
night. Acting upon this theory
the farmers put out torch in a
field, and placed underneath it a
tub of water. While they found
the weevil would readily flock to
torch, and fall into the water, they
would crawl out. Then it was
they tried beaumont oir'-crude
petroleum-and the morning after
the first experiment with oil Sc
venty-four weevils were found in
the tub.
Now it is said a. general expert
ment will be made on this line
The farmers throughout that sec
ton will put out torches, and they
believe if one torch can catch Sc
venty-four in a night, the scatter

fields will 60 long way towards

Louisiana Leads United
States in Cypress Production

Washington, May Louisiana
ranks first among all the cypress
producing states with a cut of
more than two-thirds of the total
cypress output of the United
States, according to the latest gov
ernment statistics. The total cut
reported by 9O4 mills in sixteen
states in 1907 was 757.639.OO0
boord feet, with a value of S15.-
1853, 4S2, or an average of $22,12
per thousand hoard feet. From
the 120 mills reported by Louisi-
ana the output was 5O9,665,OO0
board feet with Il value of $11,-
734, O44, or an average value of
500, O2 per thousand feet
The center of the sugar indus
try in Louisiana is also the center
of the cypress industry. In fact,
many sugar plantations have back
of them thousands of acres of wet,
boggy swamp, often full of giant
cypress trees. On account of the
heavy weight of the logs and the
constant standing water, the plan
tation hands with only oxen and
mules at first could not handle
them and these great forests re-
manned practically untouched un-
til late in the eighties.
As the white pine forests of the
Lake States began to decline lum-
herman began to look elsewhere
for trees TO replace them. Some
moved West, others into Canada,
aud few came South to the cy-
press swamps, for at an early date
the great durability and fine tex
ture of cypress wood was recogni.
zed. But the logging of these
lands was a serious problem, as
neither teams nor ordinary ground
skidders could be used. In 1895
however. a galloway skidder was
introduced, railroads were bull,
on piles or Oh bed of logs and
sawdust over Doggy mud, and thu
logs were hauled out to the tracks
suspended from an overhead ca

This was well enough for places
where the ground WAS reasonably
