FLOOD IN SOUTH BRINGS PANIC
LEVEE GIVES WAY At TORRAS
LOUISIANA,
Over Three Hundred Women and
Children Rushed to Safety on
Freight Train.

Torras, La, May - Women
screaming and men shouting as they
hurried into their homes and seized
their children and valuables in their
mad effort to reach places of safety,
and the stampeding of animals turned
loose by their owners to seek safe
places, were some of the chaotic con-
ditions that prevailed in Torras when
the alarm was sounded that the levee
at the junction of the Old and Mis-.
sissippi rivers had given way.
Although it had been known that
several weak spots had developed, lit
tie attention had been paid to this by
the citizens of Torras, and they were
caught unprepared. Within a few
minutes after the break had become
known the townspeople were in a
panic.
Before the streets were entirely
submerged a majority of the inhabit-
ants had reached places of safety.
Three hundred women and children
were placed aboard a freight train
which had just arrived in Torras.
These were taken to point below
here.
No loss of life has been reported,
but it is feared some fatalities may
occur in the interior, as the water is
rushing through the country so rapid
ly that sufficient warning may not
have reached those in districts remote
from wire communication.
Millions of dollars of loss will be
caused by the devastation of some of
the most valuable farms and planta-
tions in the state, it is feared, by this
new crevasse.
Baton Rouge, La-Preparation for
caring for the hundreds of persons
who will be made homeless by the
Torras levee break, were put under
way rapidly here. This city has been
designated as the concentration point
for all refugees from the district south
of the new break.

these are the three leading beef

Poll and Devon. BY some writer's the
Red Poll and Devon are classed as
dual purpose; but for the present we

we can scarcely say one is better than

comes the best for him. Every one
of US win give our best attention and

Therefore the breed OF cattle we like
best will give us best results and be-
comes best for us.
The two remaining breeds are good
and in some sections are very popular.
but for strictly beef purposes are
rather small and have a tendency
toward the dairy formation.
When We 60 into the business Of

one of the best breeds. and mean
one. Do not make the mistake that so
many have done and think that you
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than pure-bred
steers Of either one. Just remember
whenever you breed together two dis
tinct breeds you are producing grades
Of both breeds and going down hill.
Again. when you breed together two
distinct breeds you are much more
apt to confine the poor qualities of
both breeds in the offspring. AS an

apt to produce heifer that viii pro-
duce a small amount of milk. the char
acter inherited from the sire, and that
little poor in butter fat, the character
from the dam. The reverse is your
desire. but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things. and also be-
ing able to buy the pure-breds Of any
breed we many fancy. let US act
wisely in the matter and purchase our
