ABOUT LOUISIANA LAWS.

The Shreveport Journal indulg-
es the following:

Old adage, ignorance Of the law
excuses no man has always been
accepted as a true and correct
legal doctrine, yet the very fact
that ignorance is no excuse makes
it necessary that the law should be
very clear. The doctrine works
a great hardship at times s--many
honest men violate the law at
times through ignorance and get
themselves into world Of tron-
bile, Which reminds us that the
old adage might profitably be re
vised so as to read that "igno-
rance of the law exuses no man
not even the lawyer.
And we might suggest that the
adage he amended to further read.
Ignorance of the law excuses no
man-not even the lawyer or tile
lawmaker." Louisiana carries

gressive states years and years

markahle measures, such as the
present game law. the "New Or

others which might be enumerat-
ed. 1t is not alw ays lack of in

SOUTHERN BOYS RAISING
HOGS.

The Department Of Agriculture
is endeavoring to interest the
younger generation on Southern
farms in the breeding of good
hogs. 1t is the object of the De-
partment to encourage the young
men to raise at least enough
pork for home consumption, and
ii possible. surplus for the mar
ket Pork can be marketed IN
many forms fresh pork, hams,
bacon and sausage-and can be
produced so as to sell much
kheeper than beef. A shortage
Of beef means an increased de-
ssnand for norks and itssecaas raa-
sonable that there should be a
ready demand for all the avail
able supply. This means money
in the pocket of the boy hog
raiser.
Some of the points which the
Department advises the youthful
hog grower to bear in mind are
the following:
!. The feeding and care arc
as important as the breeding III
producing a god hog. Plenty of
feed and good care may make a
good hog out of runt. but lack
Of it will always make runt out
of a good pig.
2. TO make pork cheaply
permanent pasture and forage
crops must be used.
3. Young pigs must have a
dry bed and plenty of sunshine.
4. Begin feeding the pig as
soon as he will eat, and keep him
growing until he is mature.
5. Always keep plenty of
clean, fresh water where the hogs
may drink at any time.
6. Quarantine all newly pur-
chased animals for three weeks.
T. Never keep female for
brood SOW, no matter how well
bred she may be, If she will not
produce more than four strong
pigs at litter
8. The more milk a SOW will
give the faster her pigs will grow.
9. Lice prevent a hog from
doing well.
10. Always keep a mixture of
wood ashes, lime. sui
phur, salt, and copper as before
the hogs.
These points are emphasized in
a bulletin just issued by the Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry, entitled
Boys Pig Clubs, with special
reference to their organization in
the South. 1t can be had free
by the young farmer by applica-
ton to the Department. 1t con
tains a number of illustrations,
design of a portable hog house,
which can be built easily and
cheaply, and a design of feeding

pen for small pigs.

pen for small pigs.
In the pamphlet are some very
important don is which should
aid the young farmer in prevent
ing the dangerous disease for hog
cholera. Here are the sugges-
tons.
Do not have hog lots next to
highways, railroads, or streams.
If your neighbours hogs have
cholera do not allow anyone from
his farm to visit your farm, and
especially your hog lot or pens,
and keep away from your neigh
bor's hog lot, whether his hogs
have cholera or not
Do not keep pigeons or allow
them to alight on your premises.
Keep away crows and bnzzards.
Quarantine all new hogs brought
to your place until YOU are sure
they are free of disease.
Do not allow patent-medi-
cine man on your place, for you
do not know how recently he has
visited a sick herd.
Disinfect your wagon and your
own shoes and clothes after haul,
ING hogs to stock yards or rail
road loading pens.
Avoid every possible way Of
carrying infection to your hogs.
AN ounce Of prevention IS
worth a pound of cure is an old
saying. but in this case it is ev-
erythin:.
The object of the pig clubs is
to show the boys how better and
cheaper hogs may be produced
by the use of improved blood and
the growing Of forage crops. 1t
also aims to encourage the home.
curing of meats, and the growing
of forage crops while discourag-
ing the use of high-priced feeds.
The work of the boys pig clubs
is planned to compliment the work
of the boys corn clubs by show
ing the boys how they can prof
itably sell their corn through
hogs.
The boys in these clubs learn
how to judge hogs and to select
them for breeding or market pur-
poses. They also learn practical
ways in the management, feeding,
sanitation, and prevention Of dis
eases of swine, all of which in
formation proves valuable with
respect to other forms of live
stock work.
A not unimportant detail of the
work to the boys themselves is
the money which they are enabled
to earn by marketing their pro-
duct. They also come to realize
sooner or later that farm life has
it's Interesting side, and that sue
cess in the farming business is
well worth while.
Any boy between the ages Of
ten and eighteen may become
member of a pig club. Each boy
must secure at least one pig if he
becomes member. Each men,
Der must care for his stock in
person and keep a record of his
pig for at least four months III
order to compete for a prize. The
members of the club must agree
to study the instructions which
the Department sends out for the
benefit of the hog raisers. The
new bulletin outlines a plan of
for the boys pig
club, giving a sample constitution
and bylaws. The work is con-
ducted by the Department in co.
oeration with the various State
Colleges.
Wherever possible the Bureau
of Animal Industry places State
agent in every Southern State de-
string to carry on this work.
These State agents assist in or.
the pig clubs, and give J
ful lntt4rotions and advice to
any youthful pig growers who
apply for it. The agents can oft.
an help a boy in purchasing a
pig at moderate price.

BOWLING ANSWERS NEW
IBERIA MAYOR.

State Board of Health, Wednes-
day came back at Mayor AIphe
Fontelieu of New Iberia, who rec
entity aired his views of Or. Dow!-
ing's criticism on his town in a
letter to the press, being copy
of a communication sent the pres
ident Of the State Board of Health.
DR.. Bowling wrote the mayor
two letters, in one Of which he
refused to recognize him as health
officer, and in the second of which
he replies to Mayor Fontelieu' s
criticism, as follows:
January %, 1914.
Honorable Alphe Fontelieu
Mayor, New Iberia, La:
Dear Sir--In yours of January
%, you take issue with the artl-
cles of partial inspection Of
New Iberia reported to YOU Jan
uary Is.
The facts, as stated, recorded
my personal observation. To
sanitary. Inspector, cleanliness
is not question of comparison !;
the market in your city is, as you
say, not modern in construction.
without hot water supply con-
venient it is not likely to be
clean.
These and other points in your
letter relating to inspection re-
cord simply the difference in your
observations and mine; it is fair
to remember that the inspections
were made at different periods.
For your information. the Techc
since | came into Office has been
twice inspected and conditions re-
ported to the proper authorities.
That more has not. been accom-
plished, is due to obstacles raised
by those whom the board of health
wonld serve. AS you are probably
aware, obedience to law is by
many not considered a cardinal
virtte. =.
Referring to what you say of
my motives in "criticising" New
iberia, it was not question Of
New Ibera, but simply a rerord
of eopditions. We have no de-
sire at any time to injure any cit
izen or community, but the policy
Of the board is honest publicity
at all times and in all instances.
We make no exception; suppress
nothing; give no comment. The
relation Of the facts concerning
what | saw alone is in the news
paper report what | am responsl-
bile for.
Ifcongratulate you upon the
Improvement tax which is to DC
voted for civic purposes. ! con-
cur most heartily in your conc'"-
SION that cooperation and good
will on the part Of all health an,
thorities is most essential. but
can. not forbear reminding you
that "protection" sometimes re-
uuires drastic measures.
Yours very truly,
