Aother Terrible Ship Disaster


The most deplorahle and fatal wa
ter tragedy since the loss of the III
tanlc at sea nearly two years ago
occurred between 3 and 8 O'Clock the
morning of May 20, off Fathers
Point in the st. Lawrence, river,
when the Danish collier storstad,
bound for Quebec with a, cargo of
coal, rammed the Canadian Pacific
liner Empress of Ireland, outward
bound with 1887 souls aboard, only
4sS OF whom are known to have been
saved. The collision took place in a
fog, with both vessels blowing fog
signals, the liner backing her engines
and almost at a standstiH in the wa
ter. The collier struck the liner
amidships and tore her side open so
that she careened and went to the
bottom in fourteen minutes Most
of the 954 victims were asleep in
their berths and had no chance to
save themselves. Capt. III. G. Ken
dali of the lost vessel displayed
presence of mind and heroism in trge
ing to avert the calamity and save
lives. and while his account Of the
disaster would seem To- leave lI0
doubt that the responsibility there
for lies on the navigator OF the
storstad, the Officers of the latter
vessel give a different version of the
occurrence and defend themselves
from the imputation of neglect or
blame.

MODEL DAIRY BARN.
Notable Improvement Being Made by
St. Elmo Producers Association
-Co-operation Accomplishing Big
Results in New Town.


Results in New Town.
Among the important improve
ments being made in the flourishing
little town of ST. Elmo, across the
river from DonaldsonVille, is the
building of a 20-cow model dairy
barn. In shipping milk from st.
Elmo, it was found that the hot wea-
ther affected the quality Of the fluid
| to a certain extent. When this
| trouble arose steps were at once
| taken to provide a barn in which the
milking could be done under absolute
ly sanitary and scientific conditions,
and the structure is now in course
of erection and will be completed
within thirty days. 1t will be con-
strueted on modern lines throughout,
! and will have a solid concrete floor
upon a crushed brick foundation,
thus insuring perfect sanitation and
perfect drainage. The stalls will con-
! tain all the latest improvements,
| light and ventilation, while the walls
will be ceiled. Special arrangements
are, being made for the icing of
| milk and the cleansing Of dairy uten-
| sils. When this barn is completed
St Elmo will be able to turn out
milk that is sweet, pure and sanitary.
A well has been dug that gives good
water both for drink for the cattle
and for washing the utensils and
keeping the barn clean. 1t will be
entirely practicable to milk from 40
to 100 cows in this barn by feed
ing and milking them in lots of 20,
letting one lot in after the first
have been fed and MIXED.
| ton will have full charge of the dairy
and its operation, and the COWS of

ed through this association and the
output handled on a cooperative

conducting the dairy. Each persons
cows will be brought to the barn and

citation, and the animals will be fed

who will measure the milk, test it's
| quality, cool it and put it into the
general tank, from where it will be
delivered to the customer. AS soon
as the sanitary barn is in use it is
expected st. Elmo milk will command
a premium on the market just as
st. Elmo eggs are now doing.
The poultry branch OF the associa-
ton ports lat hegs have mere
demand for eggs than they can sup
ply. They have recently bought a
| horse and buggy and are working the
local territcGy adjacent to St. Elmo
for the purpose of having fresh-laid
eggs to ship to the customers. Al
ready they are getting some eggs
from DarroW and from Belle Helene,
as well as from Beaverton, Burnside
and other points, but still have more
customers than eggs.
Co-operation-the factor that Is
going to make Louisiana the great
state it ought to be-is the big idea
at st. Elmo.
