Death Of Widow Albert Armand.

Widow Albert Armand, one Of the
Oldest and most highly respected
members of Donaldsonville' colored
colony, died at her home in Clai-
borne street at 9:15 o'clock a. m.
Sunday, June IS. aged sixty-nine
years. Widow Armand had been in
poor health for some time, and
about three months ago her son,
Frank, who is manager of the fash
ionable Westerly apartments in New
York city, came to Louisiana and
escorted her to the national metrop-
oils, where she was placed under
the treatment of a noted specialist.
Owing to her advanced age, however,
and the stage of the. disease from
which she suffered, nothing could
be done for her, and after short
stay in New York she returned to her
home in this city, accompanied by
her son, and resigned herself to her
approaching fate. She bore her sui
fering bravely and patiently and
when the end came she passed away
with true Christian resignation and
faith.
Mrs. Armand was the widow Of
Albert Armand, who preceded her to
the grave thirty-six years ago. She
was a first-class. seamstress, and in
this capacity had served many of the
most prominent and wealthy white
families of this section, by whom
she was cordially liked and highly
respected Her friends and neigh
bors, white as well as colored, held
her in high esteem and confidence,
and it may truthfully be said that
in her demise the community is de-
prived of a most useful and worthy
citizen.
The funeral took place at 10
O'Clock Wednesday forenoon, June 81 J,
and was largely attended. Services
We're held at the Catholic church,
Of which deceased had been d life
long member, and interment was
made in the Catholic cemetery.
Mrs. Armand is survived by two
sons, Frank, Of New York city, and
Rollin, a resident Of this place Frank
came to DonaldsonVi1le from New
York to attend the funeral Of his
mother, to whom he was a devoted
and faithful son.
The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
A. Terrio and family. which means
the entire community, will learn with
sincere regret of their departure for
New Orleans, where they will make
their home in the future Mr.. and
Mrs. Terrio and their younger daugh-
ter, Norma. left for New Orleans
Tuesday afternoon, and will be join
ed today by Octave and Miss Duida
Terrio, who have been the guests
of relatives here since the break
ing up Of the Terrio home. This
estimable family have been among
the most prominent and popular res
idents of this city for many years,
and their removal to New Orleans
will prove a source of deep regret
to their exceptionally wide circle of
friends and acquaintance. On be-
half Of the latter, and for itself as
Well, The Chief wishes Mr.. and Mrs.
Terrio and family unbounded hanDi-3
ness and prosperity in their new
home, and hopes that they will visit
the old town in the future as often
as circumstances may permit. They
will be located in New Orleans at
No. 1016 Camp street.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Save seed corn early.
The hog is the most plastic Of all
farm animals.
Grass is a prime factor in success
full hog raising.
Fall blowing is injurious 10 cut
worms and grasshoppers
If possible, disk stubblehelds, to con-
serve moisture and destroy weeds.
Next to pure air, water is the cheap
est thing we can supply our poultry.
The silo's first cost is large. but If
well made it may be used for years.
The mixers hands should be
washed before milking each and every
COW.
Fall blowing exposes the soil to the
elements which aid in liberating plant
food.
Don't forget the hens dust bath.
They must have 1t to be healthy and
happy.
No part of the dairy work is more
important than the cleaning of milk
utensils.
Do not think that because the hens
have free range no grit need be sup.
piled them.
Visit the henhouse often, so the
hens will feel acquainted and not be
afraid of you.
Select early a plenty Of seed corn
so that further and more rigid selec
ton may be made next spring.
Tho yerv host Of food without
plentiful supply of pure, fresh water
will fail to induce the hens to lay.
A large flock of poultry will, in the
course of time, clean up all the avail
able grit from large area arount
their quarters.
If you have fifteen or more head o
| cattle, and haven't a silo, 1t will pa.
you to look into the subject Of silo'
pretty carefully.
Every one who has ever had expert
ence with poultry knows that clean
| illness is absolutely imperative If thu
! flock is to prove profitable.
| The mixer should be clean. Befor
milking and before putting on hi
milking suit he must wash his hand
with warm water, soap and a mai
brush.
Milk pals should be of smootl
metal like heavy TIM galvanized irol
or any rough metal should not b
used, as germs collect much NOR
easily and they are more difficult t
clean.

Sion and SWiIl.


There is wide difference between
slop and swill. Stop is properly

quently nothing more than water pol
luted with unhealthy refuse. The
Germ swill may embrace wide va
riety of feed or drink, ranging from
ordinary dish water to a mixture of
milk, table scraps, soapsuds and 9TH
err kitchen refuse, while slop is a com
bination of a ground feed or feeds
with water or milk. A supply of
wholesome swill in connection with
other feeds may be extremely valu-
able, but in a condition of decay, ran
cid, and mainly filth, it may result in
loss of high-priced animals. Slop.
however, may be considered as al

THOROUGH HoEINe OF SOILS
Cultivation Throughout Season In
ereases Materially Yield Of Grain
and Water Required.

Another mastery and convincing
argument for a thorough cultivation
of the soil has been published by Prof
j. A. Widtsoe OF the Utah experiment
station.
In long series OF experiments, In
diligently made, Professor Widtsoe
found that thorough hoeing or cult
walton throughout the season increased
materially the yield of grain. and in
creased the amount OF water required
per pound of dry matter produced,
and that in infertile soils tsn later
requirements of crops ecnd be ma
terially lowered by the addition OF
manure or commercial fertilizers
He believes that in every case the
result is to be attributed largely to
the plant food set free by the hoeing
or following, or that added in the fer
tilizers. There are many farmers who
are not in a position TO irrigate their
land at once, but there are lew who
cannot cultivate their soil little bet
ter than they have been doing. No
doubt there are localities where irriga-
ton is not feasible, and then again
there are thousands OF tenant farmers
or men of limited means who cannot
take advantage of the principle Of ir-
rigation. 1t is fortunate that nearly
all such farmers are at least able to
till and fertilize their land
The practical conclusion is, that In
districts where the rainfall Is the chief
| consideration, it is not sufficient to
store an abundance OF water in the
soil, but the soils themselves must
| be kept in such conditiC III that plants
growing on them can produce dry mat
ter with the smallest possible amount
OF water. Under a system of dry
farm rotation in which hoed crop is
perhaps grown every year, in alterna
ton with wheat, fairly large amount
of available plant food will be main
tanned, but at the same time the
amount of stored moisture will be sc
near the danger limit as to jeopardizt
seriously the maturing crop. On the
other hand, where the soil after being
fall plowed and left in the rough
throughout the winter is allowed to Ii,
fallow the following summer a mucl
larger amount of plant food is set fret
and at the same time a larger amour
of water is stored in the soil.

MISS SUSAN GLAsPELL's DOG

named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
there are no two more real characters
in the whole book than Why and Amt
1t, to use their names in English form.
II was Miss Glaspelrs own dog, a
Bohemian beast, that inspired the ere
alton Of The Visioning's twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has a
French name, VOLTA. When it's owner
bought 1t, over in Paris, she wanted at
first to name 1t Raspail. both in mem

lived and as a sympathetic cognomen
for sensitive souled Partisan dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!" So
Miss Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. 1t is a wan
