PROPER FEEDING FOR CALF
Change From Whole MIX to Skim
Must Be Gradual-AIIow Young
ster Clean, Dry Paddock.

CBy PROF A. NYSTROM. Washington0
The mothers milk should be fed the
first week, beginning when the calf Is
"a to SO hours old. The milk must
be fresh and warm, about ninety-five
to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit,
and must always be fed from clean
pail, preferably tin pail. A wooden
pail is too hard to keep sweet and
clean.
The second week whole milk from
any COW may be fed. and the third
week, II the calf Is In good health and
growing nicely. the change to skim
milk may be begun. Do not make the
mistake OF feeding more skim-milk
simply because the cream Is removed.
The whole milk contains about as
much protein as the calf can handle
and when skim-milk is fed in large
quantities the calf gets more than he
can use, and as a consequence SICK
calf is the result
The change from whole milk to
skim-milk must be gradual; from one
half to one and one-half pounds a day.
depending upon the size and vigor OF
calf. To an average calf. two weeks
old, we would feed about twelve
pounds a day Of whole milk. The first
day OF the third week. or when II 10
desirable to begin the change, the
daily feed would be eleven pounds OF
whole milk and one pound t skim
milk; the second day, ten pounds OF
whole milk and two pounds OF skim
milk, and so on until the complete
change Is made. II is just as essen
tial to feed the skim-milk warm as
the whole milk. although when the
calf gets larger and stronger. six to
ten weeks old. a gradual change TO
cold milk may be made.
Allow the calf a clean, airy paddock
or box stall In which to get exercise.
Give him some we'll cured hay, such
as timothy and clover. or timothy
alone, as soon as he viii eat It, which
win be when he is from three to four
weeks old. Alfalfa in small quantities
may be fed, but with this roughage
there Is danger OF the Calls eating
more than he can properly digest
Grain may be fed as soon as he will
take II. and for this purpose mixture
OF bran and crushed oats or crushed
eats alone IL recommended.

Rash Vow Caused insanity.

A story is told of a young man In
England, a great chess enthusiast,
who was SO annoyed at his failure to
solve an apparently simple problem
that he vowed he would neither sleep
nor eat until the solution was found.
He shut himself up In a disused room,
and was found four days later by his
relatives. terribly emaciated and out
of his mind. He spent year In
lunatic asylum as the result of the
rash vow. and the problem remains
unsolved.

LET'S PUTAWAY OUR HAMMER

Let us, who claim Opelousas as our
home. turn over a new leaf for the New
Year. The town in which we live should be
worth a good word from us once in a while.
at least. Let every one Of us, who class
ourselves as progressive citizens, put aside
our little hammers and work in unison for
the prosperity Of our city.
An organized body of boosters can do
more than a house divided against itself. =
A Representative body of men, who are all
bent to do their duty towards their home
town, in the boosting line, can accomplish
a great deal of good for Opelousas.
Now that the New Year is upon us why
not put aside all petty politics and differ
ences and set to work tremendously for the
uplifting of our community? Such intelli-
gent citizens as Opelousas is blessed with
should lend a great helping hand to better
ing conditions ard promoting the town in
general.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

There is a great deal of complaint on
the part Of many people in this parish reia-
tive to bad roads leading out of this city
and 1t is to be hoped that the police jury
will be called upon to better these important
st. Landry highways The roads between
here and Eunice, as well as between here
and Lawteil, have at some places rather bad
mudholes.
Whilst these roads are not in such ater-
rible condition as they were a few weeks
ago they are as vet very disagreeable to the
travellers, and should be repaired at once.
Drainage is the principal thing to
contend with in the betterment of our pub
lie roads, and since the police jury has the
power to drain the public roads, it is in our
mind the duty of this body to grant better
roads to the people Of st Landry.

Sheriff Swords Addresses A Letter
to the Public.

| hereby call your attention to the fol-
lowing provisions of Act 176, known as the
G~ay-Shattuck law.
Section 8. Any person selling directly or
indirectly, liquor without a license shall be
fined not less than one hundred, nor more
than five hundred dollars. or be imprisoned
in the parish Jail. for a term not exceeding
two years, or by both, such fine and impris-
onment.
Section A. Provides that all bar-rooms
be separated from the grocery by a solid
wall reaching from the floor to the ceiling
with a double action door between the
counter for the use of the proprietor and his
male help only. The entrance shall be from
the street only. Punishment for violating
this section is not less than fifty dollars, nor
more than FIVE hundred dollars, or impris-
onment for not more than two years. or
both.
Section 5. No license shall be allowed
women.
Section 6. Liquor shall not be sold to
women or girls or minors. and they are not
permitted to enter or drink in any such
apartment, provided that this does not ap-
ply to hotels, boarding houses or restau-

rants. where liquors are sold in connection
with meals or supplied to guests. This Sec
ton further provides that liquors shall not
be sold for consumption on the premises to
whites and negroes. The penalty for vic
lating this section is a fine of not less than
fifty, nor more than five hundred dollars, or
not more than two years, or both.
Section z. Provides that no liquors can
be sold to women, girls or minors, and no
apartments can be set aside for such pur-
poses. This section prohibits any game

purpose of selling to whites and negroes,
and the license shall be revoked as well as
fined the same as in Section g.. a4# <4,a6
Section 8. Provides that the council
or board of aldermen shall revoke any priv
|lege9on the petition of a majority Of prop
erty holders.
Section 9. Provides: Any person con-
yicted of a felony is ineligible for a license.

have given the salient points Of the
Gay-Shattuck law, and | am constrained to
believe that all saloons throughout the par
ish will rigidly obey the law. This will sat
isfy the people as each applicant for a Ii
cense signed an agreement that he will
abide by the law. You will have to comply
or prohibition will surely come in st. Lam
dry.
/ hereby notify all sworn officers, whose
duty it is to vigorously enforce the above
law, and any dereliction on their part, will
be reported by me when known.
This is done for the good Of the parish
and towns, andfor the saloon keepersas well.
All blind tigers will be vigorously prose
cuted. The police jury at it's meeting on
Dec. i, 1913, passed a resolution asking me
to enforce the Gay-Shattuck law, and as
that body is behind me in this matter shall
to the best of my ability enforce it.

THE PROGRESS MADE BY OPE-
LOUSAS.

It has been several years since Opelou-
sas has been on such a boom as at present.
Tn the last twelve months wonderful strides
of progressiveness can be noted in the an
nails of this city, and the Clarion hopes that
historic old place wilIbe seized by the
real and true booming fever.
When every one in the town is wearing
a smile and talking of the prosperity ana
progress of Opelousas there is nothing to
prevent the old town to assume one OF the
most important places among the other CIT
les of Louisiana.
Opelousas is surely on the boom these
DAYS. 1t has been on the boom for almost a
year and it is to be hoped that the progress
sive spirit displayed by the enthusiastic cltl-
zens will continue increasing each year.
With a modern and %up-to-date sewerage
system erected during the past year, the
finest school building in this section OF Lou
isiana, approximately three miles OF pave
ment and several large buildings in the
course of completion, 0pelousas can boast OF
as great a progress as any city its size In
the State. The power plant has been reno
waited and made a strong paying business
proposition; a standard fire alarm system is
to be established here within the next few
weeks, is the record set up by the progress
sive people of this city which is exceedingly
difficult to surpass by any city of six thou,
sand inhabitants.

The Iberville South is clamoring for a
canning factory for Plaquemine. In an edi-
torial of recent date this paper states facts
which are certainly applicable to Opelousas,
and the Clarion hopes that some ambitious
young men will, in the next year, venture
into such a field. The South says:
What we need now is a canning factory.
A live citizen with a small capital could
reap a harvest of dollars in this way. We
have oft repeated the possibilities of such a
move. We raise the fruits and vegetables
in immense quantities to be secured at cheap
rates and certainly cheap labor can be had.
Let's have it."

claimed compensation and which
was not even claimed in his suit,
did not exist, yet he got an APP
preparation over my veto.
But this undeserved appropria-
ton did not satiate him. He now
wants my political scalp for
blocking his attempt to secure
his claim from the City's Golfers.
He blames me alone for the fail
ure of his plans, and his commu-
nication voices how bitter was
the pill of defeat to him.
Even could I recall my action,
forget my duty, and thus gain
his vote and support, I would
rather accept defeat from the
people than do SO. If such claims
as his were allowed to pass un-
opposed. we could well expect to
be called on to pay for many
miles Of streets wisely opened by
the various owners who have
subdivided their properties for
their private gain in the past, or
may do so in the future. And il
officials are to fail in their duty
merely from fear Of losing votes
such as that Of Mr.. Sandoz, we
would soon have a bankrupt city
from which every special tax and
every improvement would be
barred.
Like Mr.. Sandoz, | was born
and reared in this community.
Every man, woman and child
here, knows whatever faults or
delinquencies ! possess, and my
character is an open book. I
invite comparison and inspection.
I still expect to receive the
votes of t h citizenso Of
IOpelousas, who are satisfied with
a progressive and business like
administration, and who will rec
ognize that they have received
business-like returns for every
dollar expended under my direc-
ton. Respectfully,

must say / never felt more at home than
when Ireachedyour hospitable little city and
I note SO many changes, and improvements
in the last few years in Opelousas which
convinces me that she is on the right path
to become a prosperous city of some twenty
thousand inhabitants. Around the circuit
there may be cries Of hard times, but when
one strikes Opelousas there is an air of pros
perity; your beautiful shade trees, your nat
ural drainage, your pure drinking water,
your superb system of lights, your modern
and up-to-date sewerage system, your beau
tiful sidewalks, paved streets in course of
construction, a beautiful modern fire proof
high school nearing completion, alarge mer-
camille establishment nearing completion,
and in fact, in every direction one casts his
eyes, new lumber is in sight, this means
that there is something doing. I have al
ways believed that Opelotsas would some
day become a prominentand substantial little
city, with her rich agricultural surroundings
and the way the railroads traverse this Sec
ton running in every direction, with the cry
of go SOUTH The way she is taking on
first impression, and there is nothing, be-
lieve me, can prevent it, is why [ am
prompted to write this article.
| read in this weeks Picayune with much
interest, a beautiful article in which is men
toned a mammouth irrigation canal to irri-
gate your western prairie, and you will find
that it will do much towards building up
this section and inducing immigration. Yes
[ can take off my hat to Opelouseans as being
the most progressive people in the south.
They have always seemed slow to start, but
when they do, they never let up until they
reach the goal. At one time one could see
an automobile in every town in the state ex-
cepting Opelousas, and now | believe they
have all come to Opelousas. Mr.. Editor,
pardon my transgression, / could not refrain
from a word Of praise to a deserving people.
