by majority of $4,000, and it is
now proposed to increase the mum.

be keeping the reasons for holding
the Convention State secret.
What is the matter? Are they afraid
to take the people into their conf

The competitive examinations fol-
the cadetship to Louisiana State
University and the scholarship to
the State Normal at Natchitoches
were conducted this week at St. 10.
seph. Messrs. Fred Blanche of St.
Joseph, and BOatner Bowman OF
Wildwood, were candidates for the
cadetship, and Misses Grace Webb
of Waterproof, and Lilly Mcdowell
and Pauline Abrahm of St. Joseph
were candidates for the scholarship.
The examinations lasted several days
and it will be some time yet before
the winners can be known as the
papers have to go to Baton Rouge
for grading.
Mrs. r. L. Wimberly returned
last week from New Orleans, where
she had been for about six weeks
with Mr.. Kimberley who has been
so i'll at a sanitarium in that city.
Mrs. Wimberly brings the cheerful
news that Mr.. Wimberly is improv-
ing, slowly but surely, and expects
to be able to return home soon. The
last reports were that he is able to
sit up in the invalid chair and his
strength is gradually returning. All
of this is gratifying to his many
friends here, who are indeed thank
full that his very useful life is spared
and we can again have him with us
in the full strength of his manhood.
DR.. l.. N. largo, the popular vet
ernarian, was visitor to St. Joseph
and Tensss parish this week, and
received cordial welcome from the
many friends he made during his
stay with US while engaged in tick
eradication work in this parish.
Thanks largely to bis efforts and the
valuable assistance rendered by him
thru his assistants, Tensas was de-
clared tick free and the quarantine
against us raised in less than a years
campaign. During this time DR.. JAR
go worked vigilantly in season and
out, by day and by night, often
doing service not required of him,
his one object being to eliminate the
the tick pest from Tensas in the
shortest time possible. Not only did
he lend his aid enthusiastically in
this work, but when Charlton APP
peared in the parish he went int
mediately to the. rescue, without
compensation, and treated stock af-
fected wherever called, and his labors
resulted in the saving of possibly
hundreds of head of valuable stock
that might have been lost. Our peo-
pie feel greatly indebted to DIR. largo
for his service and will always have
a warm spot in their hearts for him
and a cordial welcome always awaits
him here.

GROWING ONES OWN ROSE.
 BUDS
By L. m. BENNINGTON.

Nearly all hardy roses can be pro pagated by either roofing cuttings, or layering shoots of the half-ripened growth of the previous summer.
 This can Dc done at any time after towering, but October is the season usually selected. If layerirs IS chos. en, the shoot should be bent down, and a slight cut made, slanting, into the wood at the bend. then the branch should be fastened down into the soil, and all the better if a stone or brick be laid over the buried bend
 The soil about the bend should not DC allowed to dry out, and the plant should not be moved until the next fall, though, with care. it may be transplanted in the spring.
 Cuttings to inches long from the haIf-ripened wood may be set i1 sand-ciean, snarp river sand. is best and this must pe kept in a sunny. warm corner or window.

COW, according to the preponderance
 of either species in it's blood
 From these animals are produced
 the true catalo, the animal that has
 both species on both sides. When the
 true catalO appears, it becomes type
 which combines the characteristics of
 both lines of ancestry and is quite
 distinctive. 1t has heavier coat than
 the domestic animal. carries a larger
 hump and bigger hind quarters than
 the buffalo and-what is still more i'm
 portant-carries approximately 150
 pounds more of edible meat than the
 ordinary beef animal.
 Knowing that the great secret of
 producing larger quantity or meat
 lay in the hump of the buffalo. the
 first care of the breeders of the cata-
 To was to transfer this hump to the
 back of the new hybrid animal h. stead of being a huge lump of fat. the
 hump of the catalo forms the upper cut of a rib roast of beef. It is tender, clear meat of excellent flavor, scarcely distinguishable from that of
 the ordinary beef cattle. The great
 yaluo of the catalo as a meat animal
 is that 70 per cent of his weight can
 be sent to the tao.e.
 As the situation stands today. the problem of the catalo is not one of the mechanics of breeding. That has all been done and now 1t is sim ply matter of selection. The rule has been established that if an animal is one-eighth buffalo it can produce fertile bulls Therefore the best of the hybrids are all being used for
 the purpose of propagating better ami
 mals and the others are being used for meat. Already carcasses have been sent to the slaughter houses. Time alone is necessary 70 estab- I fish a race which will make prOduc- | tive vast areas that are good for little else. On these almost arid plains grazing is too thin and water too scarce to allow the better grade of beef animals to exist. but the catalO if left to itself, will thrive and gain in | weight. The range animal of the past has been responsible for tough, fibrous | meat-tOo often diseased. The range animal of buffalo strain is hardy | enough to resist disease and will pro- | duce clear-tbered meat that never gets tough. Before many years it is like i ly, according to Mir Borthwick's view, | that the problem of our meat supply will be solved by the blending of the
 American bison blood with that of the beef animal that for a century has formed the main food dependence of l the people of this continent.

LOSSES SURELY PREVENTED
NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Woman Who Had Suffered for Many Years Is Cured by Bolt of
 Lightning.

The medical faculty was put to shame by a bolt of lightning which the other night struck the farmhouse of Charles A. Burdick. on Washing ton Ridge. says the Berlin lCOnnD correspondent of the New York Her aid. The electric bolt destroyed arti- cles in all the eight rooms of the house and did damage exceeding ST. 600, but it cured Mrs. Burdick of rheu- matism, from which she had suffered for many years.
 Mrs. Burdick was about 10 put wood in the kitchen stove when the bolt struck her. knocking her down and rendering her unconscious. One Of her feet was on zinc beneath the stove The lightning took nail out of the sole Of her shoes and her foot was severely burned. Dr. Thomas Mulligan Of New Britain soon revived her.
 Today Mrs Burdick. although suf- fering from the burns on her foot. was free from rheumatic pains. She does not think the price her husband must pay in repairs to the house too high. but Mir Burdick is discreetly si- lent.

THE BEAUTY OF VINES
By JOSEPHINE DE mARR.

When in doubt as 10 what 10 plant, plant vines, is sound advice. Vines beautify: they are useful. they are easy to grow; they shade from the hot sun; they hide old or obnoxious features: they encourage The birds to nest about the house; they are the drapery nature throws over and about with lavish hand to soften and err- bellish.
 When preparing to plant vines be sure to spade deeply. manure heavily, and prepare the soil carefully. After perennial or hardy vines are sstab- lished, 1t is difficult to cultivate them, therefore. do all you can before plant Ing them. When they begin 10 spin they must have supports, otherwise they will be stunted in growth and unsatisfactory.
 TLere are so many beautiful vines among annuals. perennials and hardy vines that it is hard 10 decide. if the choice is at all restricted. If you wish 70 blot out an old building. cover it with vines. 1T you dislike the neCes- sary fence, turn it into a thing Of beauty by planting vines along its length.
 A oead tree rsnews it's youth 1T vines are allowed 10 Clothe it's branches. Let vines shade the porch and thus make il a cool and leafy retreat from the summers sun. Curtain the shutter less south window with vines ana let them grow about the home wherever possible.
 The grape is one Of the most use ful vines. It is hardy; early in spring it's leaves are ready to cast a shadow. Its blossoms are delicately fragrant, and its fruit is delicious. Attention must be given 1t in the way of fertil- fly. pruning and tying
 Among wild vines the trumpet vine, tacoma radicans, wild clematis. (vir. gins bower) and bitter are pop ular. In transplanting the latter from the woods, be sure you procure one that is fertile, for some of them do not bloom.

The Spanish edition of the Pan American Union Bulletin reviews MT. Borthwicks article on the "Catalo" in the Forecas.. The following Eng fish version gives thC :sGeat fea- tures
 It seems tha a new species of the genus bOs has been evolved in the United States sn nd Canada. As is well known. the American bison, or buffalo, has become almost extinct, only few small herds, nearly all to be found in captivity in geological gardens, being left to propagate the species. The cataiO, the name given the new spe- cies, is a cross between the buffalo and the domestic COW, and according 10 an article by Mir. Benton Borth- wick in a recent number of the Fore cast lpublishe' in Philadelphia. Pal, much may Ee expected from it as meat producer. He states that un- like most hybr.ds. which proverbially inherit the wo st qualities belonging to both parental strains, the catalo seems to have selected and combined in himself the ,ncst useful qualities of both buffalo anl COW. He is so hardy that be can live on pastures that would afford poor sustenance for even a sheep. and his meat is equal to the best beef. to which has been super added the tenter luscious hump that made the viii buffalo so eagerly sought by the tuntsmen of the plains.
 It was the extreme desirability of this hump. combined with the value of his shaggy hide, that helped to bring about the practical extinction Of the American buffalo. The Indians appreciated bIth, but they lived in peace and amisy with the buffalo and leIt enough of them to insure an in exhaustible supply of meat and tepees for future years. The white man appreciation was equally keen. but, like the Indian, the buffalo was in his way He wanted the plains for his cattle to range over and he did not approve of the cattle associating with the bufaloes. Therefore the buff faloes were gradually externinated.
 Even in the early days there were some far-seeini, individuals who Gimly saw the possibilities of an animal which would be a blend of buffalo and COW, so Q number of breeders tried to establish a species Of cattle carry.~s the buffalo strain, and the eypcri- ments began as far back as tEe first invasion of the western plains by white men, but they always failed. Even down to the present Gay there are but two breeders who have sue ceeded in establishing this new bovine strain, one in Texas and the ether in Canada
 The important fact remains, how ever, that the new species. has really been established and there are now a sufficient number of cataloes. ac- cording 10 NIT. Borthwick, to make it safe to propLesy that the new ani- nal will play a leading part in the future food supply of the United States.
 Unlike the mule. this hybrid is able to perpetuatc it's cwn species without reverting to type. So far as is known, no males have ever been born from this first cross. The heifers resulting from the first cross are bred either to domestic or buffalo bulls. so that the second generation Is either three qs.-ters or one-quarter buffalo. as the case may be. la this seccni genera ton the animal resembles very closely either the buffalo or the domestic
