THE HOME GARDEN.

This is the time to prepare for the
spring garden, and every opportunity
should be taken to get seed and
plants ready of early planting or
setting. No farmer can afford not
to produce practically all the vege-
tables he requires for home consump-
ton. and the variety of such products
On the farmers table should be
greater than it is now. This applies
with equal force to bankers, mer-
chants, townspeople and professional
men. In short, every home in the
state that has the land for a garden
should have productive garden the
year round, if conditions are such as
to permit it. The busy professional
man, the travelling salesman, and
others may find it quite impossible
to look after the home garden, even
IT space is available; and of the class
that produces no vegetables at home
there will be enough thousands to
consume the surplus products OF the
State.
Under ordinary conditions, no spot
on the farm yields as much, area
considered, as does the vegetable
garden. But it is not only a wealth.
producer because of the savings it
effects to the owner, but it is also
a health-producer 1t tends to in
crease the vegetable diet and thus
promotes health.

THE NEW ST. TAMMANY DAIRY.
AN Industry That Promises to be of
Great Benefit to the par;ah

An Industry That Promises to be OF
Great Benefit to the Parish.
The dairy Of the St. Tammany
Dairy and Manufacturing Company
promises to open on April first at
Vaudeville under conditions very
promising to its future. Contracts
for the delivery of milk have been
made with many towns of the par
ish along the line Of N. O. G.. N.
Railroad and owners of COWS within
hauling distance will start business
With supply of milk much in ex-
cess OF what was considered prob
able some months ago. Covington
Is down for Is to 100 gallons, Abita
Springs, IS to 20 gallons; Bayou La
combe, 35 gallons; Vaudeville, 800
gallons.
Mr.. A. M. Chamberlain, of Chill
ltcothe, O., who lectured to the
dairymen at Vaudeville last week,
in speaking Of conditions in his state
said that twenty-five years ago the
whole country was plastered with
mortgages; that now Is in a PROS
porous condition, due to dairying,
and that over one hundred million
pounds OF butter are now made. With
such an object lesson before US, the
present opportunity should be grasp
ed with eargerness by the farmers
OF this parish.

PARK BOARD
GETTING BUSY
Preparing for Large Number
Of Summer Visitors.
improvements to Make the
Park Attractive.
Stage to be Built for Theat-
rical Purposes.
1t is Proposed Also to Have
a Band for Summer.

Several years ago, when COving.
ton was full of visitors and excur.
sions were running frequently, the
need of a park and pavilion became
SO pressing that the town purchased
grounds for that purpose and erected
the present pavilion. The wisdom
of that action has been demonstrated
on more than one occasion and the
usefulness of the pavilion is now to
be increased by the addition of a
stage that can be used for theatri-
cal performances or for any public
occasion where large gathering
will be present. In order that the
stage may be built so that it may
meet the requiremnets, the design
ing will be under the supervision OF
Mr.. Frederick Roehl, who is expert
enced in theatrical matters. Curtains
will also be put around the pavilion
so that it will be protected from the
elements OR from outside intrusion.
AS further Improvement of the
park, benches will be built around
the large trees and in cozy hooks
for the convenience of those who
seek rest or pleasure on the grounds.
1t is also proposed that the we'll be
fixed us as drinking fountain and
that other improvements be made.
There is a general impression that
the coming summer will be a good
one for Covington, and that we will
have many visitors, and there is talk
of engaging band for the summer
season to play on certain evenings
in the pavilion. This would be
very attractive feature for the park
and would make it popular place
during the long summer evenings.
In fact, the Park commissioners are
getting busy and we may expect
much park improvement.

OF INTEREST TO THE FARMERS
OF LOUISIANA.
Figures Furnish by the National
Dairy Company.

According to information furnish
ed by the U. S. Department of Com
merce and Labor, 6,577,600 gallons
of cottonseed oil were produced in
Louisiana in 1909. This was worth
approximately $2,611,O4O. This is
considerable amount of money an6
the market which demands this
product is an important one to the
people of the State.
This fact has led men who wish
to see olemargarine take the place
of butter to make it appear that the
manufacture of oleomargarine fur
nishes one of the greatest, if not the
greatest reasons, for this market
demand. But such is not the case.
In fact the value of the cottonseed
oil used in the manufacture of this
product is 50 small in comparison
that it is not worthy of the least
consideration, especially when the
value of the dairy products of the
state are considered.
We do not have the statistics for
1909, but in 1910 the value of the
cottonseed oil used in the manufac-
ture of oleomargarine in this coun-
try was S499,45S.42. The value of
all the cottonseed oil produced in
1909 was approximately $63,331,-
400. This means that less than one
per cent of the cottonseed oil sold
vas used in making oleomargarine.
According to the Department re-
port. Louisiana produced about 4
per cent of all the cottonseed oil
produced in 1909 Using this figure
for 1908 and we find that the value
of the cottonseed oil used in oleo-
margarine returned to the cotton
farmers of Louisiana the compare
lively small amount og $19,97S.33.
According to figures complied by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
the value of butter produced in Lou
isiana in 1908 was s1,327,922 or for
every dollars worth of cottonseed
oil used in making oleomargarine
the cows returned over $66 worth
Of dairy products.
These are facts which the farmers
of Louisiana should carefully con-
slider before they lend their support
to any movement which discourages
dairymen. An increase in the pro-
duction of dairy products in Louisi-
ana will be just Sc times of greater
value than an increase in the pro-
duction of oleonargarine. This is
not even taking into consideration
the value of dairying in building up
the fertility of the soil, thus making
the 'ani more productive in grow
ing cotton.
The farmers of Louisiana should
awake to the benefits of idairying
and should use every legitimate
means to foster and promote this i'm
portant industry.

The Purpose and Value of
Humus in the Soil.

| One of the great needs of South
ern farming is to make man labor
accomplish more than it does today
Farm work on which one mans time
is taken in driving an 8O0-pound
pony is largely wasted in general
farming. The same human effort,
II exerted behind pair of strong,
1900 to 400 pound mares will ac-
complish results several times as
great and at relatively less cost.
DR.. Knapp says: Upon a farm
one man in the United States with
a good team and modern machinery
can do the work that so to 100 men
dc in many eastern countries" Such
teams and machinery are greatly
needed in the South, as is shown
by the following data, taken from
the twelfth census report:
The annual income of each farm
worker Go years of age or over) is
$216.47 in Louisiana; $425.13 in
Illinois, and s605.69 in South Da-
kota. The number of acres worked
by one man in a fraction over 16
in Louisiana; 60 in Illinois; 1876 in
South Dakota; So in Oklahoma, and
81 in Maryland. But we note also
that the number of horses to each
farm is, on an average, 1.16 in Lou
isiana; 80 in Illinois; SO in South
Dakota; 3.8 in Oklahoma, and ITS
in Maryland, and also that the value
OF implements and machinery on each
farm is $21.23 in Louisiana! $134.2O
in Illinois; $203.14 in South Dakota;
s88.17 in Oklahoma, and $112.O8
in Maryland.
The figures given above show in
the strongest possible way that Lou
isiana would greatly profit by the
use Of more and stronger teams and
better machinery

IMPORTANCE OF VEGETABLE
MATTER.

Humus is decayed vegetble or ami
NAL matter. Leaf-moId is practically
pure humus. When cowpeas are
turned under, when plants rot away,
when manure is applied to the soil.
humus is produced. Some one has
said that "humus" is the most i'm
portant word in the English language
for the Southern farmer. Why is
that SO? Let us see what humus
means to the soil.
l. Humus is itself a plant food,
because it consists in part Of nitro
gen, phosphorus and potash.
z. Humus improves the texture of
any soil, making it easier to till.
3. Humus fills up the pores in
clay soils, enabling them to hold
more moisture; it makes clay soils
less compact, increasing their power
to absorb water.
4. Humus, being dark, makes the
average soil darker, and therefore
warmer.
5. Humus produces, by it's de-
composition, humic and other acids,
which help to liberate the plant food
that is held in insoluble form in the
soil.
6. Humus affords a good &home
for the many germs or microbes that
inhabit the soil and improve it.
So important to Southern soils is
decomposed organic matter (humus)
that every farmer should turn under
all vegetation on his farm which is
not used as fuel, and what is fed
should be rturned to the soil in the
form of manure.

"GO SOUTH" SAYS CLARK.
Will Some Day be the Richest Part
of the World.

Chicago, March 14.-Congressmar
Champ Clark, of Missouri, the com.
ing speaker of the National House OF
| Representatives, to-day amended the
| famous saying of Horace Greeley
Go West, young man; go West!'
And made it read: Go South, MY
boy; go South"
The Missouri Congressman headed
of newspaper men who sought to
ask him questions pertaining to
other matters, and insisted they first
learn something about the South
land from someone who knows and
wants everyone else to know" Sup
plementing his amendment, Mr..
Clark said:
"The South is the place, and my
advice is to go there. You won't
eat as much as you do here in the
North. If you 10. you'll die. Your
clothing must be lighter and, there
fore, less expensive; you won't have
to buy fuel to speak of, and you can
allow your horses and cattle to Craze
out of doors the year round.
Believe me- the South is the
poor mans land, and you'll live to
see the day when the South is going
to be the richest part of the United
States.
"Why, say. ! know a man who
made $4,000 in one year off three
acres of lettuce. Sounds fishy,
doen't it? True, though, for I took
the pains to find out. It's a great
country boys, boys and if you want
a tip, follow my advice. That is, 20
early to the Southland and grow up
with it's progress
If anyone doubts that Congress
man Clark would make good
Democratic candidate for president
at the next election they have his
own word for it, given to-day. He
admitted he would make a good |
saying:
We'll, the Democratic Party
might go further and fare worse
and think it will..'
The next speaker of the National |
House discussed any and all other |
subjects put to him, except the Lori |
ner vote and woman's suffrage, of |
he latter of which he said:
Il know when to let well enough |
alone, and I'm going to keep still"
He prophesied victory for the reci-
'rocity measure, and said of the
ariff:
1--WE can get by Mr.. Taft with
ew schedules, we hope, where we
lever could get past with a whole
,ill."
Mr.. Clark intimated that if Re-
'ublicans in the next House did not
Ike committee appointments they
ould go hang for all the good it
would do them. Only he said It in
his way:
Those who do not like the ap-
can take advantage OF
he great American privilege of
cussin.'
Congressman Clark lectured to-
light at a local-church. He insists
n calling it lecture, saying:

you get paid for a lecture"
