Repairs and SUPPLIES.

Only the repairs absolutely neces-
sary have been made, such as putting
in window panes, repairing steps, and
the like. Only the supplies absolutely
necessary have been purchased, such
as brooms, dippers, buckets, etc. In
the matter of both supplies and repairs
not everything by any means has been
done that should be done owing to the
limited resources of the Board. We
hope, however, to continue to do the
things absolutely necessary as rapidly
as possible, and think that the schools
will be rendered warm and comfort
able for the remainder Of the session.
New Teachers.
Owing to the resignation of Miss
Bessie Price, who succeeded Mr.. L. T.
Welch at Grange Hall, Miss Marcia
Davies Of New Iberia has been secured
to serve as principal of the Grange
Hall school. Owing to the expiration
of the certificate of Miss Maude Cox
and our inability to get same renewed,
| have been compelled to replace Miss
Cox with teacher holding a valid
certificate. 1t is with the greatest
regret on our part that this had to be
done, as Miss Cox was undoubtedly
one of the best teachers and was Civ
ing good satisfaction. Miss Nina
Bowman has been secured for this
place.
CoIored Schools.
The seven schools for colored pupils
which have been running during the
fall term have now completed the
four months allotted to them and it
will be necessary to locate the schools
for the spring term. About fifteen
places have applied for schools for
the spring term whereas we can run
only seven schools.
Teachers Institutes.
Only one teachers institute has been
lheld-that just before the schools
opened. | have not called additional
institutes because | have a plan which
| think will prove more advantageous
to the teachers for this year than the
monthly Institutes. The State Teach
ers' Association meets in Baton Rouge
this year and l recommend that the
teachers of the parish be excused from
attending the monthly institutes on
condition that they attend the State
Teachers Association. | further rec

FEEDING MASH IN DRY FORM
More Equal Distribution of Food Is
Obtained by Use of Hoppers-
Feed Some Cut Bone.

Some of the most experienced poul-
try breeders claim that the best re-
suits can be obtained by feeding mash
in dry form in hoppers where fowls
have access to it at all times. This
allows NOR !. equal distribution of
the food.
A slight feed of moist mash about
three times week in addition to this
dry mash is good. 1t is essential in
preparing this mash that the mixing
process not be sighted, as a little
longer mixing will result in much
better mash and prevent the using of
an excess of water, which tends to
make the mixture pasty.
BY mixing green cut bone with the
mash in the quantity hereinafter Civ
en- food will be obtained that is un-
equaled for laying hens.
Probably the best way to feed this
ration is to give the flock a quantity
which they will consume entirely in
from eight to ten minutes.
This should be given them three
times a week and the amount usually
runs so that each fowl will receive on
an average of one ounce at each feed
ing or every two days. In other
words, about one-half ounce of green
cut bone per fowl per day is consid'
cred the right amount

Alfalfa Versus Timothy.

In one ton OF alfalfa hay there are
1,O44 pounds of digestible nutrients, OF
which go pounds are digestible pro-
tein. In one ton of timothy hay there
are 926 pounds OF digestible nutrients,
of which 90 pounds are digestible pro-
tein. The nutrients in the timothy
hay are furnished little cheaper than
in the alfalfa, but the protein in the
alfalfa is far cheaper than in the tim
othy. AS a dairy feed We would con-
slider alfalfa hay cheaper at s26 per
ton than timothy at $40.
