Particularly at this season Of

the full fever, she is apt to desert
her charge, often after sitting a
week or two.
When the weather is still cold,
not more than eleven eggs should
be given a hen. When a large
number is allowed, the eggs are
not sufficiently covered, and
those on the outer edges of the
clutch are likelyto become chilled.

School Improvement Work.

When the writer was working
with the local committee, pre-
pairing the program for the Third
Annual Convention of the Louis
lana School improvement League,
held in Lafayette January 1T-18,
1911, we were very anxious to
prepare an attractive program
and select such subjects for dis
cussion that would greatly bene-
fit the men and women who
would attend the convention, and
awaken in them a better under
standing of this great organized
effort, the improvement of the
conditions of child life in the
home, in the school room and on
the playground.
One aim of the program COM
mittee was to have uncroWded
programs, the very best music
and speakers, and carefully Sc
lected topics, but not SO many of
them that there would be no
time given for questions and dis
cussions.
The addresses Of welcome had
a ring of truth and a warmth of
love for childhood and right that
prompted them, and were re-.
sponded to in kind by an enthu-
siastic League worker, who
keenly appreciated the genuine
ness manifested.
The report of delegates showed
a decided increase in the number
of Leagues formed during the
wear and a great Improvement

has been expended for good
causes in this work.
Excellent suggestions were
given as to WAYS and means Of
financing the Leagues. Some
were extremely novel and inter
esting.
The State organization is for

since its formation. Miss Agnes

OLD SAMPLER DESTROYED BY
FIRE,

About 4:45 yesterday afternoon the
old sampler, formerly belonging to
the American Smelling & Refining
company, was burned to the ground.
The old office building occupied by
two families as residence was also
badly damaged, the residents suffer-
ing considerable loss from smoke and
water.
1t is supposed that spark from a
locomotive started the fire, or it may
have been of incendiary origin, but
whatever the cause the fire had a
big headway before it was discovered
by some of the employees of the
smelter. The wind was blowing and
carried sparks from the sampler to
the office building a short distance
away, igniting the latter.
The fire department reached the
scene promptly after the alarm was
given, but on account of the start and
the high wind it was impossible to
save the sampler, but the office build
ing was saved, although badly DAM
aged. The d. & r. G. work train was
on side track near by and before ii
could be pulled out to safety, the cook
car was badly scorched.
Some excitement was caused by the
rumor than six hundred pounds OF
dynamite was stored in tol house
right across the track from the sam
pier. The building was scorched by
the heat and the expectation of ar
explosion added to the fear of the
spectators, who kept u respectful dis.
tance. 1t turned out that but twenty
five pounds of powder were in the
building.
The damage was about $1,000. Nc
insurance.
