DON'T TRY TO GET ALONG
WITHOUT LIVE STOCK.

The price of both hogs and cat.
tie has decreased rapidly during
recent weeks, but live stock an,
still selling at profJ able prices
for the man who breeds and feeds
regularly each year. Hogs, at
even ) cents a pound live weight,
are profitable for any man who
grows them in a common sense,
business way. and they are STILL
selling for Z cnts. In the past we
have gone into the raising of live
stock and bought our foundation
herds on a high market ad sold
ont at loss when prices swung to
the other extreme. Those who
have recently bought breeding
hogs or cattle should not become
alarmed Fluctuations in prices
always have occurred and ,nay
be expected to continue. but the
man who goes on raising good
stock year after year,. so that he
can profit by the high prices when
they come. has always found them
a profitable farm crop. Hogs
may go still lower. and probably
will, but they will not go so low
that the Southern farmer who
raises them on legumes. which the
hogs gather, and small amount of
corn can not still make pork at
a profit ,gressive Farmer.

Scarcely had the news gone
forth to the outside world that
the Iberia Cypress Company, our

Parish Jail and Court House.

When we began our duties We
inspected your jail and found
some twenty prisoners incarcerat-
ed therein under different charges
We also found the jail to be cold
and comfortless place, without
heating apparatus, and without
fireplaces. We were told that the
heating apparatus placed therein
was out of order and that the same
did not receive any attention
from the Parish authorities. Since
, hen we have called upon the
Sheriff and the Police Jury re
questing them to at once remedy
this evil and so far no relief has
been given The prisoners at that
time were provided with little or
no cover at all, but that, God be
Praised. has since been remedied.
We find that the prisoners are
well fed and that their condition,
aside from a sad s ate Of uncleani-
ness are otherwise fairly good.
We beg leave to report that the
roof of the jail and the Court
House are in delapidated and
|eaky condition. We also desire
10 call tn, attention TO the author
tiles that the electric wires in the
jail are not in proper condition.
And along this line we suggest
hat the authorities cause switch
IS to be places where needed to1
avoid fires and other incOnven-
ence and also to economic from
light bills to paid. as in having
witches the janitor or jail keeper
nay be enabled at all times to put
N or turn off the lights. We
urtheI suggest that an alarm sys-
EN- hyinstalled in the Jail in the
vent rf fire.
WEI call the attention to the
'ourtH to unkept condition Of
he G urt House and ground and
ugg3t that the same should be
lcanyl and kept clean. Should
NY Stranger visit our Court
louise and grounds, he would be
able to be entrapped in cob webs
nd other things. We recommend
hat the Police Jury appoint "A
-ounGsr and more vigorous man

easorhble salary thereof
We recommend that the Court

ave lpund the City Jail in good
