AN ASSUMED AUTHORITY.
Office of State High School Inspector
Has No Standing in Law.

1t has been developed that there
has been created by the State Board
of Education without authority Of
law an office titled State High
School Inspector. 1t has developed.
upon the inquiry Of Hon. Paul Cap
deyielle, State Auditor of Public
Accounts, that the sum of 81 100 has
been illegally drawn to pay the SAL
airy of this State high school inSpec-
tor. The issue having been recent
ly submitted to Attorney General
Pleasant, has elected an opinion
which leaves the State Board of Ed
ucation, and especially State Super
intendent Harris, in an unenvlabie
predicament. As declared by Colo
Eel Pleasant, there is no law to war
rant the authority assigned by the
State Board of Education, by whom,
Oh the advice and consent of Super
intendent Harris. Prof. A. C. Ber-
rard was invested with the title OF
State high school Inspector. to full
fill duties. if there be, that should
be performed by Superintendent
Harris. o
What is the need of a State SUI
perintendent and a parish superin-
tendent if the inspection of the pub
lie schools is to be made periodical
ly by a specially salaried professor
or teacher?
The citizens of the State of Louis
lana may be congratulated on hav-
ing for Attorney General a gentle
man who is possessed Of the full
understanding Of the law and who
will discharge his duties fairly and
fearIessly.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Drainage of Orchards.

1t is often urged as an argument
against draining that there is liable to
be time before the season is finished
when the water removed by the drains
will be needed. Now, to those who
think that drains diminish the supply
of moisture In times of the trees need.
let it be said that drains only remove
the water that gravitates to them. and
moisture used by plants has no regard
for the law of gravity. but is held by
surface tension to the soil particles
and moves in any direction by capillary
attraction. One of the direct results
of drainage is through better aeration
to make the particles smaller. thereby
increasing the soils capacity for fine
moisture. Not only has this been
long established fact Of science, but
growers themselves have found drain
age to be the greatest help of any
single farm practice in controlling the
Ill effects Of drought. No farm i'm
provement will pay larger returns on
the investment than will drains be-
tween all the rows of trees in we'll
managed apple orchard on a clay SOIL

Farm Notes.

A well esta blished alfalfa field should
Craze from fifteen to twenty pigs per
acre.
Only in rare cases do cutworms both
er crops that are planted on fall pioWed
land.
Alfalfa under congenial surroundings
or conditions is a business crop and nc
loafer.
1t is quite common to SOW buckwheat,
especially on poor land, as a green ma
nure crop.
Silage is very nearly as cheap as pas
ture, and in composition is practically
the same, pound for pound, as timothy
pasture.
For best results the alfalfa pasture
must be moved at least three times a
year because at certain times it begins
new growth from the root.
There will be difference of results
If the corn plants get all the plant food
and moisture available or if they must
share with host Of weeds.

Tie Democratic Factions.


If we would obtain a fair estimate
of ourselves we should profit by the
criticism OF our opponents, provided
the view and the expression is free
of prejudice. This observation il
Applicable to parties as we'll as men
In political sense we should never
treat with derision or silent con-
tempt any criticism or, in this in
stance, Republican authority, and
therefore the clip following, which
is from the National Republican,
published in Washington, D. c., may
be read with interest:
1.-The administrations attitude re-
garding Democratic factions is con-
stantly becoming a matter of ur-
gency. The Bourbons, or conserva-
tives, have been rather uneasy lest
they be crowded away from the pie
counter altogether. The arrange
ment as to postmasters relieves
them somewhat, for throughout the
South especially there are numer-
Gus conservative members of the
House who want to look after their
friends. They are feeling that they
must be rather cautious not 10
OverdO things in the matter of dis
elimination against original Wilson
men. Postmaster General Burleson
will probably look out for that, be-
ing an excellent politician himself.
Nominations have not proceeded
sufficiently far to determine wheth-
er the old liners are. to have much
patronage recognition otherwise.
The original Wilsonites in several
States have already entered pro-
tests. They insist that political fav-
ors should not go to Democrats Of
the anti-WilsOn stripe. The Presi-
dent has listened to their stories
without giving any answer beyond
nominating to office here and there
Democrats who were identified with
the Cleveland administration Of
twenty years ago.
Along with these aspects OF the
patronage situation is the recogni-
ton of Republican Progressives. It
has not been suggested that they
should be given offices, but they are
being made welcome at the White
House offices, and some of them,
like Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin, are disposed to drop around to
President Wilson's offices. Senator
La Toilette called the other even
ing, and was an hour with the Pres
ident. This was regarded as very
significant, because Mr. La Follette's
prominence at the capitol is we'll
understood, and because President
Wilson publicly commended Sem
atOr La Toilette during the presi-
Dental campaign"
But while this is interesting and
we are reminded that President
Wilson is listening, it is encourag-
ing to realize that the men best
fitted for recognition, especially in
the selections and appointments for
high places, will receive due consid-

Succass In Horse RAISING.

We have been quite successful in
raising horses and now have about
seventy head. including colts, writes
a Minnesota correspondent in Orange
Judd Farmer. Our mares are bred to
foal In April or early in May. After
foaling the mares are given a short
rest and then worked the same as the
other horses. Colts are never permit
ted to follow the dam while at work.
When they are large enough the feed
box IS left open. and they help them
selves to what grain they will eat
The same plan Is pursued during the
fall work. Colts are usually weaned
In October and are well fed and cared
for the first two winters. They are
broken and worked when three years

DEVELOPING EARLY
LAYING BULLETS.
Breeding For Quick Maturity Is
Profitable.

A single comb White Leghorn pullet
that laid her first egg just four months
and fourteen days from the date of her
Matching. Is one Of the results Of breed
ing for early maturity obtained by the
Ohio College Of Agriculture. The usu-
al age at which pullets begin laying is
about six months This extraordinary
fowl was one Of group Of 720 that
were hatched at the same time. Five
or six others from this group began
laying much earlier than ordinary
fowls, showing that 1t pays to breed
for early maturity. They were from
the Yesterlaid strain OF Single Comb
White Leghorn that have been bred
especially to develop early laying.
1t may be interesting to know just
how this flock was fed. From the first
day to the sixth week they received
twice day grain ration Of two
pounds fine cracked corn and three
pounds cracked wheat Up until the
twenty first day they also received
three times day a moist mash COM
posed Of four pounds rolled oats. three
pounds cornmeal, three pounds wheat
middlings, six pounds wheat bran, four
pounds sifted meat scraps, two pounds
alfalfa meal, one-quarter pound bone
meal. one-quarter pound fine charcoal
This was mixed with skimmilk or but
termilk and fed in shallow trays. From
the sixth week to maturity they re-
ceived grain ration of two pounds
cracked corn and two pounds whole
wheat. fed in open hoppers. From the
twenty first day to maturity they re-
ceived mash composed of one pound
rolled oats, one pound cornmeal. one
pound wheat middlings. two pounds
wheat bran. one pound sifted meat
scraps, one-half pound alfalfa meal.
two ounces fine charcoal This was
fed dry in open hoppers. In addition
they were given green foods and grits.

THINKS AMERICAN
AMBASSADORS RICH.

The Century: Money talks in all
languages, says Minister Egan, but a
representative of our government in
any continental capital might engage
the most splendid mansion in the city
of his residence with a view Of i'm
pressing to the country to which he is
accredited with the Importance of his
own government, and fail. The peo-
pie of the country will be dazzled by
the spIendor of his establishment, but
think of the great residence as his pail
ace, not the official palace of the Unit
ed States.
"Ah," people say, the representative
of the Argentine republic Cor Brazil,
or the United States) is undoubtedly
wealthy. 1t is oil or steel or sugar or
stocks. We will get from him the re-
liable market-quotations. He has made
money, and has come to our paradise
to spend it, 1t is he who lives i'm this
golden glow, it is his house, which at
its best is only one Of many splendid
unofficial houses. A modest house
owned by q government is more inn
pressiYe than the most magnificent
mansion rented by the representative.
Your government is much poorer
than it's people," said a Spanish gram
dee, since it cannot afford to do what
it obliges its representatives to do"
"aThe White House is much smaller
than many Of the houses of unofficial
American gentlemen but 1t is the
White House / answered.
II understand that" he said "but il
seems that your government, so far as
It's representatives are concerned, has
not learned that the official stamp is
what makes the house important"
