FOR TREATMENT OF
W0RK-ST0CK IN HOT WEATHER.

The following Suggestions LOT the treat
ment of working horses in hot weather
have been published by the New York
Women's League for Animals:
i. Load lightly and drive slowly.
2. Stop in the shade if possible.
3. Water your horse as often as pos
sible. So long M a horse is working wa
ter in moderate quantities will not hurt
him. But let him drink only few swal-
lows if he is going to stand still.
4. When he comes in after work
spone off the harness marks and sweat,
his nose and mntth, and the dock. Wash
his feet but not his legs.
5. II the thermometer il IS degrees or
higher wipe him all over with wet
sponge: Use vinegar water if possible.
Do not turn the hose on him.
6. Saturday night give bran mash.
cold; and add tablespoonful Of salt-
petre.
z. Do not use horse-hat unles. it is
canopy-top hat. The ordinary bell
shaped hat does more harm than good.
A sponge on top of the head. or even
cloth. is good il kept wet. II dry il is
worse than nothing.
2. If horse is overcome by the heat,
get him into the shade, remove hamess
and bride, wash out his mouth, sponge
him all over, shower his legs and give
linn four ounces of aromatic spirits Of
ammonia or two ounces Of sweet spirits
of nitre, in a pint of coffee, warm. Cool
his head at once, using cold water, or,
if necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in a
cloth.
10. If the horse lie of his feed, try him
with two quarts Of oats mixed with bran,
and little water; and add little salt
or sugar. Or give him oatmeal Cruel or
barley water to drink.
IL. Watch your horse. If he stops
sweating suddenly, or If he breathes short
and quick, or if his ears droop, or if he
stands with his legs braced sideways, he
is in danger of heat or sunstroke and
needs attention at once.
IL. II it is 60 hot that the horse sweats
in the stable at night, the him outside.
Unless he c6ols off during the night, he
cannot well stand the next days heat.

Mr.. Parker's Bull Moose Party of course
involve no peril to Democratic suprem-
acy in Louisiana. But they serve to en-
phasize the tactlessness of the leadership

No, the Governor is not alone.

tributed q share.

There is no installing.

Antagonism, bitter and out-spok-

to pass.
Il Il this antagonism, this spirit
that il working with telling effect

Though only INDUCED in by a
few, still the party suffers, the State
suffep, the Nation suffers.
Let il stop and let everyone give
support to President Wilson and
the National Democracy in the
splendid work they are carrying ON.
Louisiana is a Democratic State and
can never be made otherwise.
A Democrat in Louisiana should
be the same as a Democrat else

The long drought which has continued
incenently for the pest five weeks was
partially broken on Friday evening, by
a hard rain, which, however, seemed en-
tirely local. The rain lasted about half
hour, the precipitation at u. Joseph be-
ing possibly an inch. Tbs rain did not
extend over IN arear Of more than mile
square and was therefore of little benefit
to crops remote from town. It served the
purpose, however. Of filing cisterns about
town that were well nigh empty.
However. We understand the rain ex-
tended up as far as Newellton and the
Lake st. Joseph country.
The crop outlook is not encouraging.
Despite the long continued drought and
torrid beat that has prevailed for q
month past, the iniaststion from boil
weevil is intense. While the stalk is large
and green and apparently healthy, in
many fields q cotton bloom is curiosity.
Whileit is possible that some improve

hoped for must be made from this date
forward.
Corn has suffered greatly from the
drought and much has been lost. In
some sections, however, which have been
more favossf with showers the yield win
be mors satisfactory.

Mr.. Steve Forman, representing
the Brite Light Co.. was a visitor to
the oil fields of Tensas again this
week. Mr.. Forman had nothing to
say for publication, other than his
unchanged opinion as to oil posi-
bilities in this section. Mr.. For
man has just returned from an ex-
tensive trip to Western oil centers,
and the proven evidence in these
fields as seen by him only tends
to increase his optimism as to indi-
cations here.

4 GREAT NEED.

Diversifcation has come to stay.
Our planters have learned that their
lands will yield paying crops of
grain and hay, and the acreage in
these crops is being increased every
season. And the prospect is for a
much larger increase in oat acreage
next season. Already the yield of
oats and hay has passed the limit
of local consumption. The individ-
ual farmer does not raise enough
grain to justify foreign buyers conr
ing to his barn. Cooperation is alb
solutely necessary to secure the best
results in marketing these crops.
A grain elevator, located at some
central point in this parish, is not
only a necessity but will be a pay
ing investment.
How to accomplish the desired
end? This must appeal to every
practical farmer. Locally we will
find it difficult to raise the necessary
capital for such an enterprise. Who
is in position to promote such an
enterprise? Who can furnish the
data necessary to convince capital?
There should be q meeting of those
interested; committee should be
appointed to take such steps as may
be necessary. Each farmer should
pledge himself to a certain acreage
of oats and corn. Based on such
pledges an elevator could be Sc
cured with warehouse to handle
hay. A certain market would lie
established, where the farmer could
store his product and handle it at
much less cost and realize on his
crops when ready to sell.
The representative Of the agricul-
tural department of the Missouri
Pacific Rail Road is already inter-
ested in this subject and will coop
crate with the planter when shown
that the latter is in earnest.
By request we publish the name
and address Of Cunningham Com
mission Co., Little Rock, Ark, as
enquiring for oats and other grain
in this section. If you have oats for
sale furnish the above with quanti-
ty and sample, showing quality,
and name the nearest shipping
point.

washington, D. C.. May so.-'That
congress will come through at this
session with a good reads bill framed
along practical lines seems highly
probable. Congress is overwhelmingly

tive standpoint, would be almost i'm
possible, and certainly enormously eX-
pensive. From a political standpoint.
the pressure which would be eZerJed
upon the individual congressman by the
counties and townships in his district,
each trying to set hand into the fed
sral treasury, would be so persistent
and so relentless that self-respecting
men would throw up the job, leaving
the field open 20 the political wire
puIlers. The realization OF these fatal
defects IN any plan Of extreme locali-
zation renders absolutely certain the
adoption of the state as the smallest
unit.
