the cooperation of each State the
scandles connected with heads of

of which is not fully and complete
ly covered by the shuck. No stalk
should be marked unless the ear
or ears can be plainly seen to be
OF good size. The farmer should
mark the stalks as explained above
as soon as possible.
Before the crop is gathered, he
should carefully go through his
field and gather the best ear from
every stalk that has been marked.
These marked ears should be
shucked and kept free from weev-
lis and away from mice. Twice as
many ears should be selected as
the farmer will need for seed the
next year. During the winter,
this corn should be placed on q

Not Such q Strange Utterance.

| Hon. N. G. Blanchard recently
said before the Conservation Con-
gress at St Paul, Mimi: "The
doctrine of State rights is dead
it is dead under the tramping fee,
of million marching men, YET
yesterday it tried to rear its head
and bare its arm, and it is our duty
to see that it is not again permit
ted to gain a foothold." That is
strange language for a Southern
man to use, especially by one
whom Louisiana has honored as it
has the speaker under the belief
that be entertained entirely oppo-
site views. But Ex-Governor
Blanchard no longer represents the
sentiment of the people of Louisi-
ana, nor any considerable part of
them, on this question. The doc
trine of State rights is not dead,
nor will it die SO long as the Re-
public exists. The occasion that
drew the above expression from
Ex-Governor Blanchard shows that
is live issue in the West. Mr..
Roosevelt wants to do away with
the rights of the States, and ex-
Governor Blanchard appears to
be his CO. worker.-Mans6eld Jour-
nal.
The Journal has not been fair
to Hon. N. G. Blanchard. At
least it should have given the con-
sideration to the issue pending
which prompted the declaration
that "the doctrine of State rights
is dead" To each State in the
Union are reserved some rights
which have not been trampled
under the feet of million march,
ing men," but in the proposed con-
servation of the forests, the lands
and valuable property of the Unit
ed States, any action by the States
would prove abortive. As has
been developed recently, even
with the backing of the Federal
Government, lands and valuable
mineral claims have been absorb
ed for speculation by land sharks

How to Select Your Seed Corn in the
Field.

There is no better way for the
fafner to spend half day during
September than in selecting his
seed corn in the field for mex,
years crop. 1t is safe to say that
the time thus spent will pay him
more than time given to almos,
any other farm work.
There are many ways of select.
ing seed corn in the field. The
following is the simplest, and
should be adopted by every corn
grower in Louisiana who has never
tried to improve his own corn by
careful selection:
Go to the field of corn out of
which you wish to save your seed;
choose the best part of the field;
look for good stalks with good
ears, and mark them with a red
rag string. If your corn is of the
large-eared variety, every stalk
should have at least one good,
large, sound ear; if it is a profile
variety, no stalk should be mark
eu unless it has two or more good
ears.
Now, what is a good stalk? 1t
should stand eight or ten feet high,
be large at the base and tapering
to the top-not spindly; it should
stand erect, have good, brace roots,
and twelve to sixteen big, broad
leaves; it should carry ears at a
height of from four to FIVE feet,
measuring from the middle eff the
row to the base of the ear; the
ears should droop at maturity;
that is, the shanks should be from
six to eight inches long. The
farmer should note particularly

Million Feet of Lumber DESTROYED By
Fire ut Elton.

Elton, Sept. l8.-The Dry Prong
Lumber Company's saw mill and
a quantity of lumber was consum-
ed by fire at 4 O'Clock Saturday
morning. The plant is located
three miles east of here. on the
Frisco railroad.
The origin of the FIRE is unknown.
1t is presumed that the FIRE caught
In the boiler room and that it had
been burning for some time when
first noticed. When the fire was
discovered the flames had gained
such Roadway that they could not
be checked.
The mill had been recently reno
waited and new machinery INSTALL
ed, and 100000 feet of lumber
were reduced to ashes. Loss on
mill and lumber, $40, 900, with in
surance of $4,000. At the time of
the fire l. J. Rhinehart, president
of the company, was in Alexandria.
The Mansfield Journal says:
The worst habit that boys can fall
into is that of loafng around on
the streets at night. 1t is then
that they cast their lot in slippery
places, when at any moment they
are likely to fall from grace. All
good and noble lessons taught them
by their mothers are there counter
acted and nullified. They learn
nothing that is good, but every
thing bad. The boys who spend
their evenings in the sacred pre-
cincts of home, with good books
for their companions are the flu
ture hope of this republic; they
will fill our Legislative and con-
gressional halls, aud sit in judg-
ment upon men and measures,
while the boys who run the streets
will fill our penitentiaries, aims
houses and lunatic ssylums. Pa
rents who are responsible for these
broken laws of decency will have
broken hearts and bowed down
heads in the awakening years that
will inevitably follow.

Only Three Senators From North Lou.
isiana in Eighty-Six Years.

A'OO duu OuuSe i. ~. M6nn1ne
elected during the "Reconstruc-
ton PERIOD" but neither of these
gentlemen were ever Senators of
United States, says Mr.. w. o.
Hart, who has given considerable
study to the Senatorial History of
Louisiana.
AS the Senate of the United
States is the exclusive Judge of the
election and qualifications of its
members, no person not recognized
and admitted to the Senate can be
considered a Senator, and as Meth
er of these gentlemen we're admit
ted, they were never Senators.
The statement as to Judge Man.
ming is erroneous, because he
never was elected, but the title
which he held was given under
these circumstances:
When the Packard Legislature
was organized in 1877, it elected
W. P. Kellogg to the Senate of the
United States, just as soon under
the law as it could do SO, in the
meantime, the Nichols Legisla-
ture spent considerable time in
selecting a candidate, and it was
not until several months after
wards when it was the only Legis-
lature of the State that it elected
Judge H. NJ. Spofford.
KELLOGG WAS ADMITTED.
The contest before Congress
went on for long time, and final
ly Kellogg was admitted to his
seat, Of course, by strictly parti-
san vote, but Mr.. Spofford and the
people of the State did not give up
the contest. Mr.. Spofford's claims
were constantly urged, and while
the matter was pending he died,
and either Governor Wilt or Gov
ernor McEnery appointed Mr..
Manning his successor, but on a
direct vote to reopen the question
of Mr.. Kellogg's title, the Senate
maintained him in his seat, some
Democratic Senators voting in his |
favor on the ground that it would
be establishing a dangerous pre-
cedent to unseat a Senator after |
admission for causes which exist
ed when he was admitted, and so |
Mr.. Kellogg served until the expi-
ration of the six years, when he
was succeeded in 1885 by Senator
Gibson.
1t is possible that the Legisla-
ture which met after the sppoint-
ment of Judge Manning, went
through the formality of electing |
him to the Senate, but it is Mr..
Harris impression that before the
Legislature met, the matter had
been settled by the action of the
Senate.
MANY SENATORS FROM NEW ORLEANS
In this connection it il well to
note that most of the Senators
from Louisiana have been from
the city of New Orleans, particu-
larly in recent years, for, from
1871, when Senator ]. r. West
took his seat (the other Senator
then being Kellogg until the
death of Senator Gibson and the
appointment of Senator Caffrey on
January 7th, 1893, all the Senators,
Kellogg, West, Eustis, Jonas, Glib
son aud White were from New Or
leans.
Senator McEnery, though nom-
inally domiciled in Ouachita, lived
in New Orleans continuously from
1883, and as his succession was
opened in New Orleans, that nee
cessariiy showed where he was
domiciled. He did not live in
Ouachita since 1881.
Senator Blanchard, of course,
was from North Louisiana, but he
only served a part of term. Be-
sides Mr.. j. S. Johnston. referred

found convenient for use in rounded
spaces; sloyd knives may be purchased
at most paint shops. There are several
mediums that may be employed for stem
Cling on fabrics, and different crafts
men have their preferences. Some very
effective designs on white silk have been
done with water color, but one could
hardly expect this to be very permanent
and would not do at all on articles that
may require laundering or cleansing
Experienced artists, who have tried the
stencils, have used oil colors, the medi-
UNI with which they are most familiar,
and find them in many respects satisfac-

turpentine to the proper fluid consis-
tency, and these colors, after they have
dried may be Numbered by putting them
through a warm, and not very strong
suds, made with pure soap. Rinse
and press immediately When ready to
begin the stenciling mix enough color
for the whole work, as it is hard to get
the same shade twice, and try to do the
entire piece of stenciling at one setting,
as the colors will change if left stand

plest to use and gives the most salts

der to adapt it to the width of the run
ner." If the thistle were selected for the
Scheme" OF the room, the design ar
ranged in the same manner would form
capital frieze for the walls, which
might be tinted in the delicate soft gray
suggested by the crash. Having laid
out the dimensions, whether high or
broad, draw the design without think
ing of it as stencil, but see that it
has good spacing and graceful lines,
then break it up into stencil form by
drawing in the ties" that are to hold it
together. Be sure that the ties" are
well connected, and that each important
position of the design is. surrounded by
the background; unless the ties are
drawn in properly the stencil will not
hold together.
The first illustration shows the
cut stencil for the thistle design. The
veining of the leaves suggests the posi-
ton of the ties" The manner of "ty-
ing the full round calyx of the thistle
blossom is suggested by the pointed out
line at the top and, carrying out this
plan. it is crossed by narrow ties" that
cut it into diamonds
Regular stencil-board is somewhat
difficult to procure, except in large
cities, but very satisfactory substitute
may be made at home by using heavy
manila or drawing paper, and treating
it with coat of shellac Any heavy
paper or lightweight cardboard, that
has enough body TO lie fiat and not tear
too readily, will answer the purpose, and
besides the shellac there are several
homemade methods of rendering it
waterproof. Linseed oil, rubbed on until
it penetrates the paper, is one method
another is to melt lump of parafin
or parafin candle in a pan, and draw
the paper through it; the parafin may
also be applied by first rubbing it on a
warm iron, then ironing the paper, re-
peating until it is thoroughly coated on
both sides. After the design is traced
on the stencil paper, the cutting will be
made easier if it is placed on marble
or glass slab. A sloyd knife or very
sharp penknife must be used, and the
hard, smooth surface under the paper
permits clean, sharp cutting line.
Small curved, pointed scissors will be
