Every dairyman should be a special
list.
Future performance depends upon
present management.
Scientific feeding Is only a high
sounding name for rational feeding.
The special purpose COW is one
means of securing success in dairying.
The first essential Of a profitable
dairy business Is an intelligent dairy
man.
The real value of a pure bred dairy
COW lies in her pedigree-it is the pre-
potent power Of heredity.
Every we'll organized farm has been
made SO by a man with a wellorgan-
lied mind.
Good common sense mixed with
Judgment and knowing the needs and

e
1t is unfortunate that there are not
solid neighborhoods of dairymen who
work together in improving their
dairy herds.
The future hope Of our farming de-
pends upon how our young men are
educated that they may see how ma
ture works.
Every COW that Is worth raising a
calf from should be considered as do
ing a double work and be fed and treat
ed accordingly.

where very little can be seen
There a be nc such a thing as sys.
tematic management of a dairy farm
without a regular rotation Of crops in
which a legume figures at least once
in three or four years.
Never allow a heifer TO dry oE early
the first season, for once the habit be
comes established it will be very diff.
ticult to prolong the milking period.
Keep the herd bull where it will be
convenient to feed and water him at
the same time you care for the cows.
If he is kept off by himself he is quite
apt to be neglected.
II the ensilage is frozen it is an ex.
cellent plan to leave it in the stable
two or three hours to take off the chill.
This may not sound like good advice
in the face of what many authorities
say about the milk becoming tainted,
but it is better than feeding frozen en-
silage to the cows.
Plan to tie the cows so that they
cannot step on each others teats. Many
excellent COWS have been ruined by
having the ones next to them step on
their teats.
Avoid buying the so-called mixed
and prepared dairy feeds as long as
you can get the good whole grains
and hire them ground and mixed as
you want them. No man knows just
what he is buying because the label
on the bags says so much protein, etc.

SUPERINTENDENT BENNETT
RESIGNS.

F. B. bennett, superintendent of the
st. Francisville Electric Light and
Water Works, has rendered his resig.
nation to the Board of Aldermen of St
Francisville, to take effect in 80 days.
This news will be heard with regret
as Mr.. bennett has been with the mu.
nicipal plant ever since it was put in,
and his efficient services have had
much to do with the success with
which the business has been carried
on. He has made it study to serve
the peoples interests, and this fact
seems to be appreciated. Mr.. bennett
will take a position with the Diesel,
Everett Oil Engine Co., of st. Louis,
Mo-, doing construction work in Texas,
Louisiana and Alabama, receiving a
much larger salary than is paid here.
His duties will cause his removal from
st. Francisville and this will be re-
GREETED as both he and Mrs. bennett
are prominent in fraternal work, and
in every matter that calls for public
spirit.

gins. The local situation may tend to
hold some back from their usual large
donations, but all must remember that
the things most wanted are jams, pre-.
serves, jellies, and pickles, and which
are made at home without much ex.
pense, but are such as are indeed val.
liable and priced in the city. 1t Is a
matter of pride with local helpers
that the contributions from West Fee
liciana are kept by the management
of the Soldiers Home for the exclu.
sive use of the old men in the 1nfirm.
airy. The call upon us is the more in.
sistent and touching for that reason,
and the good women of the parish and
it's towns should not withhold their
help, as to break a habit of years.
Remember that he that giveth to the
poor lendeth to the Lord, and the
Lords Bank is one that never breaks,
and though one may impatiently think
at times that it is long in paying divi.
dends, it is because the Divine man.
Iagement, that makes no mistakes, is
letting the interest of good deeds &C.
crue, that the reward may be the
greater. The old men at the Home,
derelicts of fame and fortune, are a
sacred charge upon the people of Lou
isiana, and one which must be kept
until the end.

PERcY.DoueHERrY.

A beautiful home wedding was quiet
ly solemnized on Wednesday, Dec. 3,
1913, at high noon in the home of the
brides mother, Mrs. N. S. Dougherty,
on the Boulevard, when Miss Carrie
Dougherty and Mr.. Edward McGehee
Percy were married, with Rev. Father
Rombouts officiating.
The whole lower floor of the house
was decorated in palms, ferns and
tulle. During the ceremony the bridal
couple stood under the arch in the bay
window where a true love knot of
tulle and smilax against background
of palms made pretty setting for the
scene.
Miss Dorothy Israel and Mrs. Nal.
colin Dougherty played the wedding
march and at the appointed hour, the
bride came into the room on the arm
of her eldest brother, Mr.. Malcolm
Dougherty, who gave her into the
groom's keeping, where he stood with
his best man, Mr.. Carter Percy, under
the archway During the ceremony
Miss Israel and Mrs. Dougherty play
ed softly on the piano, some old sweet
love songs which added greatly to the
impressive beauty of the ceremony.
The bride was radiantly lovely in a
draped gown of ivory-white crepe
wolfe, trimmed with real lace. Her
long veil of illusion was arranged cap
fashion with orange blossoms on her
lovely hair and she carried an armful
of bride roses and valley lilies.
Immediately after the ceremony an
informal reception was held and the
Fluctuations and best wishes of their
friends extended as they stood under
the archway Of tHile. Refreshments
were served in the dining room, on a
beautifully decorated table-the plates
and part of the service being used for
the first time by the brides great
grandmother, Mrs. Nolan Stewart Old

for New Orleans for few days, after
which they will sail for Cortezenia,
Columbia, S. A., by way of Havana and
Kingston, Jamaica.
Among the out of town guests were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter Percy and son,
Mrs Frank Percy, Miss Eleanor Percy
of Weyanoke; Mrs. Tabor, of Thibo-
deaux; Mr.. John Dougherty, of New
Orleans: Mrs. Tom Samuel, of Irene;
Miss Gladys Grannelloni, of Longwood,
and others. AS both young people
come from the most prominent and
Oldest families of the state and are
both alumni of l.. s. u, and are ex-
ceedingly popular in town and college
society, their wedding was one of the
most important events of the year.
The above is taken from the Baton

interest by the friends and relatives
of the talented bridegroom. They join
in wishing the young couple all happi.
ness and prosperity. AS sugar chem.
