FLOOD THREATENS
TO DESTROY TOWN
NEAR NEW ORLEANS
Lettsworth, Louisiana Vii
lage, Entirely Cut
Off.

NEW ORLEANS, May s.--Entire!y
surrounded by the waters Of the Mis-
cissippi river, destruction threatened the
village of Lettsworth. f1fty-1ve miles
north of Baton Rouge, today. Boats
manned by National Guards were sent
out in an attempt to rescue 100 resi-
dents of the village. A crevasse in the
levee just north of the village caused
II to be surrounded by water and the
torrent was still rising rapidly this
morning. -,
Twenty thousand persons have been
rescued up to date and are in need OF
succor All are suffering privations as
result Of lack OF food and clothing.
In many instances the homes of refu-
gees were washed away by the torrent.
In addition to the flood sufferers in
the Mississippi valley, 1900 persons are
homeless in the valley Of the Red river.
The State has been asked to give them
assistance.
Workers Kept Busy.
State troops are rounding up all the
idle men in this and other cities up the
lower Mississippi valley, putting them
to work Strengthening the levees a,
points where they are threatened.
The professors of the Baton Rouge
University have formed an employment
bureau to hire workmen to work on
the levee. A committee has been ap-
pointed to raise funds to reimburse the
laborers. Practically all the students
of the university are working upon the
fdikes. Free rations are being given tc
all who go to work
The Navy Department has instructed
the battlcshIp Nebraska TO give any ali
possible to the Hood refugees. The com,
lnander of the battleship placed the
vessels launches at the disposal OF the
rescue workers and pilots from New
Roads, who know the river currents
were put on the boats as pilots.
Situation Critical.
While reports from the north were 6
little more encouraging today the situa
ton will remain critical here for day
to come. and the general situation 81
far as it embraces the suffering of tn,
food refugees is virtually at the eli
max of it's acu.cness. 1t is estimated
that l1',oO0 persons living between tn
mouth Of the Arkansas river and tn

Among the refugees are 4,o0O at Ba

4 BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
President Taft Has Given Good
Government to the People.

FROM 1889 to 1892 the ordinary ex-
penses Of the federal government in
creased at the rate Of about 3 per cent
= year. In the succeeding decennial
period they increased about 4 per
cent a year. Under the presidency Of
Mr.. Roosevelt the annual increase
was almost 6 per cent. Mr.. Taft has
not only stopped this annual increase,
which has so long seemed inevitable.
but has actually brought about a de-
crease. Under Mr.. Roosevelt the or.
binary annual expenses Of the gov.
eminent grew from about SAT- .000, 900
to 1852, 600, 900, an increase Of $751;
0O0, 900 in seven years. Mr.. Taft has
reduced them from $662, 100000 to
$e54, 600. 900.
We talk a lot about economy in pub
lie affairs. Isn't 1t worth while to
| stop a moment and give credit to a
president who has actually done what
We have all been saying ought to be
done?

HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Salt For Cows.

Some experiments conducted by Pro.
lessor Babcock. the inventor Of the milk
tester. in Wisconsin regarding the Civ.
ing and withholding Of salt to cows.
are of interest to dairy farmers. He
found that II salt were absolutely with.
held the effect would be seer WITH
some cows in from two to three weeks.
hut some individuals went on for the
most part Of a year without any evil eff
fects: but sooner or later the animal
developed a state Of low vitality. end
ing in a sudden and complete break
down. though recovery would be rapid
when salt was again given. The effect
was worst shown at calving time, OF
Immediately after. In general cows
giving the largest amount Of milk were
the tirst to show signs of distress
while there was less trouble when the
animals were on the pasture than when
in the COW shed. In an ordinary daily
ration there Is about three-Quarters OF
an ounce of salt. and this is nearly but
not quite sufficient for dry stock per
head. but not quite enough for the
milk COW. The milk drains away 4 lot
of salt out Of the system. and an add
tional ounce per head daily must be
added to the food Of the COW indoors.

Fattenino Value Of Peas.

There is no kind of live stock on the
farm to which peas cannot be fed with
positive advantage when they are to lie
had at prices not too high. writes Pro
lessor Thomas n. Shaw. They are not
commonly fed to horses. since they can
seldom be prepared for such a use, but
they make Il good food for horses at
work and for colts during the period Of
development. If given as a part of the
grain food.
As u food for fattening cattle, peas
are probably unexcelled. Much of the
success which Canadian feeders have
achieved in preparing cattle for the
block has arisen from the free use of
peas in the diet.
Peas with oats or bran make an es-
cellent grain food for cattle that are
being fattened. Speaking in a general
way. peas should form about one-third.
by weight. of the meal fed. but, as ev
cry feeder knows, the relative proper
tons Of meal used should vary some

EMAND FOR LABOR
Unprecedented Prosperity In the
United States Sends Up a Call
From Ocean to Ocean for
unskilIed Labor.

The demand for unskilled labor
never was so great in the United
States as it is at present. There is
also a large and general demand for
skilled labor in many important lines.
The cry has gone up 1rom New
York state and extends south along
the Atlantic coast, across the south
line of the Union to California, up the
Pacific coast to Seattle, and back
across the heart of the country from
Kansas City to st. Louis, to Chicago,
to Detroit, to Pittsburgh.
Everywhere laborers are needed in
the harvests, the forests, the mines,
the factories, the mills; on the rail-
roads, for the construction Of public
highways and in our great Industrial
centers.
Even within a h~undred-mile radius
Of New York city the call is no less
insistent. Labor agencies cannot sup
ply the demand there. Contractors
need manual labor for %aqueducts, tun-
nels, building excavations. There is
work for every man willing to take
pick and shovel and utilize the oppor-
tunity to earn a daily wage whose
minimum is $1.75.
Can anyone doubt that it is this con-
dition Of universally employed labor
| which is responsible for the high
prices for farm products-prices
which are giving the American farm.
Or the greatest degree of prosperity
he has aver known?
And can anyone believe that these
conditions, either as to laborers or
farmers, would be bettered by 4
change in the administration at Wash
ington? Why make a change for the
mere sake of change? LET sleeping
dogs lie"

Why Rich Soil Is Really Warm.

We speak Of n rich soil as warm"
This is more than a figure Of speech.
A Michigan Investigator has found that
ten tons of stable manure worked into
the top six inches Of soil actually make
the ground about a sixth of a degree
warmer. In s%unshiny weather this
same MANFRED soil is two degrees
warmer than soil without manure
This warming of the earth comes not
from the fermentation of the manure
but apparently from greater absorption

THE EFFECT OF
FALL FLOWING.
Benefits Some Soils and Is
Detrimental to Others.

As q rule the object in fall blowing
IL to turn up the soil to the action OF
freezing and thawing. which benefits
its texture or physical nature. In
sections where the soil does not freeze
in winter. except in very dry climates.
fall blowing as a rule Is not to be
recommended, for the reason that with
heavy winter and spring rains on
heavy clay soils the soil Is apt to be-
come cemented and lifeless, making
1t difficult to prepare for seeding and
often rendering the soil cloddy and un
yielding for cultivation.
For early oats sowing this might not
be an objection, since oats always do
best when sown early, and the packing
Of the soil by winter and spring rains
would not be Objectionable. Oats and
all small grains require a firm and
we'll packed seed bed. Still sod in any
climate is usually benefited by fall
blowing. as the sod will be in a better
position for early decay by early plow-
ing, and some Of the noxious insects
in the soil would be destroyed by be-
ing exposed.
In dry climates. where the ground
| does not freeze in winter. such as ir
| rigated regions and where dry farm.
Ing is practiced, fall blowing is bene'
fcial, as the r%oughened surface of the
soil caused by blowing will catch and
hold more SHOWS and rains than un'
plowed ground.
In any region where the soil Is full
Of humus. or where a heavy coating
Of manure is turned under. fall pillow
ing is q good practice.

The Difference.

From the Belvidere (ul.) Republi-
can:
The difference between the Roose-
welt and Taft administration is that
Mr.. Roosevelt talked loudly against
those whom he called "malefactors,"
and secretly protected some Of them
from the law, while Mr.. Taft has made
no threats. but has just enforced the
laws.
