Eugene Richard. Landry St., Opelou-

of kidney trouble. About two years

loins and across my kidneys and at
times there was a slight retention of

EVEN FTER DEATH!

The average man does not care
a fiddle string whether his last
habiliment, the one in which he
is to appear before ST. Peter, is
made of home-spun or broad.
cloth.
He thinks more-before death,
of course-of the love of the ones
dear to him, of the tears which
his demise will cause to flow down
the tender cheeks of mother.
wife, children, sisters: of the re-
grets openly expressed by friends
and companions that Bill was a
good fellow" he thinks more of
life's associations, no matter how
ill-Wind'd they may have been
ne thinks more of these in his
last moments than he does of the
clothes which are to be his last
on earth. This is man.
And, we may say, there are
many, very many thanks good
ness, of the feminine folk who
share this opinion-who just as
soon be CARRIED for the final call
in plain clothes, just SO they are
neat and clean, as in hobble
skirts of silk and challies. And
sensible they are. st. Peter, the
gatekeeper to the Eternal House,
is a man, A woman would hardly
be named Peter. And Peter has
likewise lived these many years,
the faithful custodian Of the
Golden Keys. He is therefore
sensible and old-fashioned, and
does not believe in this business
Of women hobbling themselves
like horses let out to grass and
other dress creations showing
the Wearer's lovely form and
their ability to strike a rack"
gait that often puts staid old
racers to blush.
God has created woman to be
mans helpmeet, not to be his
tempter; and when this miscon-
ception is carried to the grave,
why, it is just simply the limit.

200 acres may be cited the experience
OF a Pennsylvania dominic who kept
thirty head Of stock on fifteen acres,
growing all the roughage for them on
this area, and who by prudent man
agement was able to pay off a mort
gage Of $1,000 on the place In the
course of years. To add to his
troubles, the farm was badly run
down at the time he bought it. While
the account does not state, it is fair
to assume that ut least half of the
stock kept consisted of dairy cows, by

In all the territory where soft coal is
relied upon chiefly as fuel for the
kitchen stove it is the very bane Of
cleanly housewives, snearing their
floors. sotling the wall paper, dirtying
dishes and blackening wearing apparel.
The chief fault with this kind of fuel
is that under the conditions which
usually prevail a complete combustion
of the coal is not secured-that is, the
smoke and SCOT are not consumed, but
clog and retard the stove, the pipes
and fues. While the trouble cannot
be entirely done away, It can be mate
rally improved by replenishing the
stove more frequently and breaking
the coal up into finer pieces. If at
hand it will be found a great help to
use either cobs or wood with the soft
goal. In some localities 1t is possible
70 get coke from which the oils and
SCOT producing elements have been
removed. This makes a very
hot fire and will have to be watched
and renewed quite frequently.

It is only recently that the full value
Of rape as a pasture for growing pigs
has come to be fully realized, and this
only by the most progressive hog
raisers. One acre of a good stand of
rape will furnish pasture for from
fifteen to twenty-five hogs, depending
upon its rankness and th%riftiness. The
plant prefers a moist, cool soil, full Of
humus, and should be sown In the
spring as soon as the danger of frost
is over. If broadcasted, from six to
eight pounds " sead should be used
per acre. If drilled, as is sometimes
done. in rows from twenty to thirty
inches apart. from three to FIVE pounds
will answer. Excellent results are
also secured by sowing about five
pounds of seed on a part of the land
to be devoted to oats and clover, the
latter seed being put in after the rap
In this case the rape viii terminate
and grow slowly until the oats are
cut. after which 1t will grow more
rapidly, or the oats. clover and rape

soon MS it gets SIX O seven inches
high. no attempt being made to har-
vest the grain. Such pasture gives an
excellent variety and together with
corn and oil meal and such milk or
buttermilk as is available makes pos
sible very economical pork production.

tory results as late as June Is, but 1t

we make proper use of our time and

order of creation. Among the busy

silver will not be needed, where gold
will be of no value. Life is far too

near and real, that we should risk 'all
on the one pursuit for earthly treasure.
Opportunities for usefulness are many.
Along every pathway in life are weary
to,l-worn pilgrims, longing for a cheer

our lives be one Of passiveness who
the present calls so loudly for action?
Can we fold our hands in idleness,
murmuring that there is nothing for
us to do? Can we deny light aud help
to those who are adrift on life's stormy
sea. They who have the brightest
light should hold it up the highest,
that its rays may fash out the farther
