Please answer the following ques-
tons: which is the best way to
get fresh earth for your rabbits,
to dig up the ground, or put fresh
earth on top of the old? Will fe-

-er:s. young ones il they stay in one
pen,i but have separate, nest boxes?
Please tell me where can get a
book telling about both Belgian
hares and guinea pigs. Which do
you think would be most profitable,
guinea pigs or Belgian hares? -.
Thanking you for this informa-
ton, am, r. 7.
ANSWER.
The best way to freshen up the
the earth for your rabbits is to dig
up the ground, as IL purifies 1t, but
to put fresh sand on the top would
be all right To dig it UP Is the
easiest.
Rabbits will kill each others
young, or their lighting will make
them kill the young ones. and be-
fore they are ready to produce
young they should be separated.
You can get a book on Belgian
hares of the American Poultry Jour
nal, Chicago. Ill. Also one on
guinea pigs. 1 should think the
rabbits would pay you better than
the guinea pigs. Still they can
both occupy the same quarters and
do well together

The Result as to State officers.

Last week we announced that
T. C. Barrett was nominated for
Lieut.. Governor; J. E. Ransdell
for u. S. Senator, 1918 term /;
LeDoux E. Smith, for Treasurer;
Il. G. Pleasant, for Attorney
General; Fred Grace, for Regis
ter of the Land Office; and E. 0.
Eruner, for Commissioner of Ag-
ricalture.
At that time it was thought
there would be a second race be-
tween Hall and Michel for the
governorship, and Broussard and
Sanders for the 1915 u. S. Sena-
torship. But Michel and Sanders
have both decided not to go into
second race, and so there is to
be no second primary for any of
the State officers.

To the Democrtic Voters of Grant
Parish.


Words fail to express the deep,
heartfelt appreciation / feel for
the liberal support given me IN
the primary of January %, for the
nomination for the Office of sheriff
of Grant prrish. While the re-
turns do not give me plurality
of the votes, / received more votes
than the combined support of the
four candidates who were ellml-
mated from the race in the first
primary, and this fact is especially
gratifying when it is taken into
consideration that those candi-
dates who received less votes than
myself are men of unquestionable
standing in every particular; there
fore, / feel especially honored.
However, it will be necessary to
hold "a second primary in order to
decide which of the candidates is
the choice of the majority of the
voters, the returns showing that
neither of the candidates in the
race got majority of the votes.
Mr.. Perkins is the highest man III
the race but lacks nearly $50 votes
of getting majority of the votes
cast, which shows that he is not
the choice of a majority OF the vo-
tiers, and rs / au the next highest
man to Mr.. Perkins, | will, of
course, be in the second primary
with him, aud / truly hope that
the returns of the second primary,
to be held Feb. 81, 1912, will show
that / am the choice of the free
Democratic voters of Grant parish,
and to this end l ask the friends
aud supporters OF those candidates
who were eliminated, together with
the candidates themselves, who
can possibly do SO, to kindly lend
me their support, and l promise
you that your kindness will be
gratefully appreciated.
Again let me thank all those
who voted for me for. their sup
port, and ask them to speak a good
word to their friends who support
ed the eliminated candidates, and
if possible win them over to my
side.
Respectfully,

Butter Prices Going Down.

New York, Jan. q. With the
drop of 2 cents in the wholesale
price of butter. from 80 to 48
cents wholesale, it is predicted
that the trend from now on was
likely to be downward, if mar
ket conditions remain normal.
Large receipts last week, 5000
sixty-pound tubs, more than the
corresponding week a year ago,
are believed to have been the
cause.
