The death of Hon. Warren Easton, SUI
perintendent of the New Orleans public
schools, has precipitated a contest for that
Office which BODIES no particular good to
the city's school system. A majority OF
the members of the school board are IA
vorable to the selection of Assistant SUI
perintendent John r. Commit, but Mayor
Behrman and some of the ward bosses
are opposing Mr.. Commit on the ground
that "a bigger man" from an educational
standpoint ought to be chosen. DR.. j. b.
Aswen of the State Normal School at
Natchitoches. DR.. j. H. billiard and Prof
Alcee Fortier of Tulane University have
been mentioned as sample bigger men, .
but none of the three has consented to
become a candidate for the position.
Gov. Sanders was accused of trying to in
terfere in the matter, presumably from
political motives, but he emphatically con-
tradieted the report, asserting that he
had no candidate and would not attempt
to influence the action of the school board.
Ii looks at this writing as if Mr.. Commit
will land.

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

Lean, lank hogs and poor fences will
discourage almost any farmer who has
such a animation.
With animals that will multiply AS
rapidly as pigs it seems almost
shame to see a man breeding old
scrub sows to some boar that has no
pride of ancestry or hope of poster
ity. Yet, this is exactly the course
that about half Of the farmers are fol-
lowing, and wondering why feeding
hogs is not paying substantial prohts.
Never get the idea in your heads
that breeding from young and i'm
mature breeding stock encourages
early maturity in the progeny. for it is
a mistake.
God, strong. we'll developed pigs
from mature sires and dams will make
better growth and more economical
gain than the undersized runts that
result from breeding immature sows
to some six-mOnth old boar pig.
The man who gives his herd boar
good care can usually depend uOon
getting his sows safe in Pigs so that
thev will farrow at the desired time.
1t is a great disappointment to have
sows fail to breed after keeping them
for months for no other purpose.

WOMEN FARMERS IN Sc

Owing to the increased emigra,
from the border and middle lands &
scotland to the United States and Can
ADA, farm holders there appear to be
employing more women farm hands
than heretofore. There are many
fruit and vegetable farms on which
women and girls are employed in pre-
pairing. tlling and harvesting the
crops. In many instances it is claim
ed that they give better satisfaction
than men, their steady and careful
truck farming in garden and field
showing increased results. These hardy
girl and women farmers work in
groups, and Judging from their singing
and happy air while at work, are a
contented lot. It is no uncommon
sight to see half a dozen or more hoe
ing or planting in regular lines so as
to work across the field at one time.
n this method Of keeping the work
together the result of the days labor
for each woman farmer is easily seen.
An older woman or man usually acts
as overseer. The wages of each full
grown woman is 36 cents per day or
dinarily, while in harvest time they
earn for eight hours work from sc
to 72 cents. Men farmers do the
heavier work, such as plowing, cutting
and building roads and fences, and
earn $4.3s to s5.34 per week with
house rent free.
