, Eradticating the Tick.

r. c. Slaton of Russum and
Barland Bros. of Barland inform
the Reveille that they have sue
ceeded in exterminating the cattle
tick, and both agree that they are
highly pleased with the result.
Mr.. Slaton is a successful small
farmer with few cattle. He says
when the fight against the tick be-
gan he had but little faith in the
total destruction of the pest, but
now knows that it can be destroyed.
Mr.. Barland owns 200 head of cat
tie. He says there IS no question
that the tick can be destroyed,
T. L. Rush of Brandywine has
been informed by buyer to whom
he had shipped a few steers that
as soon as the tick is eradicated
from our county his stock will
bring him S cents per pound in
stead of 3 as at present.

"Our plan involves the contract

them $40 per ton F. o. B. their

an investment of capital, proper

c. c. Coca of Woodlawn plarita-
ton possesses a herd boar that will
do much to give fame to Claiborne
county Berkshires. He is not only
beautiful, but magnificent in his
mien. And where does this Berk-
shire boar, Artful LongfelIow nth
I2712o, get his blood lines? From
LongfelIow, the St. Louis Exposi-
ton winner, that did more for the
breed than any sire that wore pur-
pie. Longfellow sold when IS
months old for $1,000. and later for
$500. The other ancestors of
Artful Lonfellow nth are Master

Masterpiece in the heed Of w. S,

weighs 275 pounds and is only nine
months old. G. c. Coca should be
proud OF his Berkshire herd, aud
we can predict that the WoodIawr

place in the South, and we look fol
Goza to take a reputation as
breeder besides Gentry, Cora an'

Not So Bad.

The boil weevil has done much
damage to the cotton crop, of
course, but, contrary to expecta-
ton, the farmers OF Claiborne coun-
ty are not nearly SO poor as they
expected to be as a result. They
economical this year. and made
their various crops with a small
outlay. The result is, well filled
corn cribs, great quantities of hay,
considerable amount of peanuts,
potatoes and molasses, milk and
butter and many hogs. In addi-
ton to this, there is considerable
amount OF cotton. No country
can be poor when it raises practi-
cally all it consumes.

Egyptian Cotton in New Orleans.

Egyptian Cotton In New Orleans.
DR.. James F. McCale5 of Cold
Springs Plantation received a few
locks of Egyptian seed cotton from
New Orleans with the following
statement:
81 am sending you these cotton
seeds which come from Egypt.
They grow as a curiosity in New
Orleans and one tree or plant of it
was exhibited in New Orleans at
the public schools. No boil weev-
il can attack it, so they say. The
tree or plant is thick with bolls.
| / want you to come here to go and
look at it. Keep these few seeds
and you can try it. 1t grows 7 OF
8 feet high and blooms for four
years and on the fifth year it is cut
down"
The seeds are extremely small,
the lint very white and short. The
one boil sent DR.. McCaleb ha:
twenty-five seeds. Immune cotton
to the boil weevil is an irridescenl
dream, and this cotton would like.
lly meet the fate of other varieties
according to degrees of resistancs
to the weevil.

LIt.er Of Pie BrOught $50.

Mr.. c, L. Will of Wilsonville
has sold a litter of pigs which
brought him $780, after having Sc.
lected one of the finest specimens
for himself. Yet, the remark is
often made that it'does not pay to
own pure-bre stock. In the face
of Mr.. Willis experience, it would
be hard to convince progressive
stock man of the truthfulness of
this saying.

2 to ~ cents, 1--we weight.

a ~ q ~ S(A@~~1 ~AN( Ns~~r
And SO there is a shrinkage of at
least 3 cents per pound 1--we weight.
And the loss on a scrub steer
which will only weigh 500, hide,
hoofs and all, is fully SIS. II it
were a 1900 FOUNDER the loss would
be fully $4sl And there are many
more losses, not here pointed out.
But add them all together and it
can at once be seen that Mr.. Sec
retary Wilson'S estimate is not only
Just but sadly too true.
THE REMEDY
But now is there any sure reme-
dy2 Yes, indeed. And the REM
edy which has in two years past
cleared the ticks out of 10000
square miles will clear them out of
Claiborne county and the entire
State of Mississippi, if it is rigidly
applied.
And this remedy is simply any
oily grease-coupled with local
quarantining. Yes. any oily grease
and crude cheap petroleum or
black oil is as good as any-will
surely kill any and all ticks on cow,
calf, or steer, to which it is honest
ly applied, so as to reach and COW
er the cattle ticks 1t always has
and It always will. And local
quarantine, by rigidly keeping all
cattle off tick infected pastures for
a few months, will surely kill all
injecting ticks by sheer starvation.
And now kill all ticks on live cat
tie by oily grease, fully and earnest
ly applied, and the ticks on the
ground by sheer starvation, and
they Will be as harmless as dead
Indians!
And now Uncle Sam is taking a
hand. And Mr.. Secretary Wilson
is ready and willing to assist.
He will send corps of trained
experts to take the lead and teach
the people just how to use the
grease-and the quarantining. But
he can effect nothing without full
and earnest cooperation. If any
county is indifferent, or wishes to
be left alone, he win not spend a
dollar in such county. He will
leaVe such county to enjoy 90 the
ticks, the miserable low prices for
cattle-and rigid U. S. quaran-
tine. But this is just what intelli-
gent farmers do not want. They
want to be free from ticks forever.
Mr.. Editor, Mississippi can be
and yet will be as splendid cattle
state as any in America.

The Kid You Rays Always Bought
s ss:'s sss Of &rMAz1N3

There is young gentleman at
Segura who enjoys the particular
distinction Of having so aroused
the superstitions Of some of the
negroes of this vicinity that they
almost went into spasm over the
fear that the end Of the world had
come and who even now believe
that their prayers alone averted
calamity. This young man has
the practical joke fever. In his
leisure hours he Matched up the
scheme that took the breath from
the superstitious and made them
believe that the time had come.
In his spare time he built himself
a large kite. Then one night last
week he saturated a bundle of
waste with oil and attached it by
wire to the kite as a tail. Then
when the hour was yet early and
the peOBas were yet abroad he set
fire to TIE waste and sent the kite
far up into the sky. There in the
background Of the heavy clouds it
looked like a blazing ball of fire
followed by long fiery tail and
seen from the distance it resemb-
led the pictures of the comet. AT
any rate a large number of me-
groes caught sight Of the strange
vision and having heard that a
comet was about due they jumped
to the conclusion that it had ar
rived and that the end of the
world was near at hand. Down
on their knees they fell TO i'm
plore that they be saved from the
wrath to come and as they prayed
the blaze grew DINNER and dim
mer as the kite floated far over
head and to this day they are con-
WINGED that it was through their
eloquence that a disaster was
averted and the world saved from
destruction.

Tie first excursion over the

Tie first excursion over the
Iberia and Northern Railroad took
place last Sunday when a jolly
crowd of Woodmen of the World
left here and went to Loreauville
where three new members OF the
order were taken into the local
tent and there was a bountiful
banquet provided by the ladies
Of that fair city. In reality it
was not an excursion, being simp-
ly a pilgrimage of the Woodmen
into one Of the most fertile and
progressive sections of the Par
ish, but every one of the forty
members Of the Order who took
the trip thought it was an eXcur-
sion and enjoyed himself accord
ingly. There was large crowd
of the citizens Of Loreauville at
the depot of the new road to wei
come the guests on their arrival
and the music Of a big band made
it seem like real royal occasion.
There were flags and banners and
regalias and the whole town
joined in the festivities Of the oc-
casion. After the brief recep-
ton the Woodmen adjourned to
their hall where the ceremonies
took place and then came the ban
quet. The ladies had provided a
spread that would have done honor
to place Of many times the large
Less Of Loreauville and to say that
the guests enjoyed themselves
would be putting it mildly. Judge
James Simon acted as POSTMASTER
and there were a number Of elo-

citizens and by the visitors The |

BASE BALL,

The opening game of baseball
at the Park last Sunday was one
of the kind that makes the fans
think that they have the real right
at home. 1t is true that the home
team did not win but the boys put
up such game that everyone was
satisfied that he had received his
worth, 1t was a great
game from start to finish and if
Jeanerette had not succeeded in
getting that one little run across
the plate the boys might have been
playing yet.
Tomorrow the boys will go up
against the tough team at Morgan
City. not that the hoys of that
oyster ridden burg are tough but
they are a real tough proposition
to 60 up against and if the Iberia
boys win out they will place red
feather in their bonnets, Follow

HOUSE TO RENT-425 East
St. Peter Street. Apply to P. A.
Landry.

Last Saturday night the i'm
beetle son of Mrs. August Gerac,
colored. killed her for some in
sane freak which has not yet
been explained. According to all
accounts the boy who was %
years old has been weak minded
since his birth. but it was not
supposed that his mania was dam
gerous. No one was present in
the house when he killed his
mother but from remarks made
by the youth after the crime it is
supposed that he killed the wo-
man because she would not make
fire to warm up the house. The
youth said he had struck his
mother with an axe handle but
did not hit her hard. Neverthe-
less, her skull was crushed by
the axe handle and it was evil
dent that he had beaten her after
she had fallen from the first
blow. She did not regain con-
seriousness after receiving the in
jury and died shortly after the
crime was discovered. The boy
is held pending investigation.
