An Editors Prayer.

An editor went to church the
other day and was called upon to
lead in prayer, when he responded
as follows: Almighty and kind
Father, who doth from Thy throne
look down on the government of
delinquent subscribers, most humb-
ly we beseech Thee to draw near
unto them and whisper a few things
into their ears that the statute
forbids us to print. Thou know
est our wants, but the subscriber
knows them not and seldom stops
to inquire. Let it be known TO
them that there are patches OH the
homestead of our pants, and that
there is an aching void i'll the front
part of our back, and that we hung
er and thirst and he asks us not
10 come and sup with hlr. Thou
knowest, Lord, that our ink and
print paper costs money, but the
subscriber knoweth it not, and
careth great deal less. Thou
knowest we are cold and the subs
criber bringeth not the wood he
promised. and we are shivering
and shaking while he roasteth his
shins before the red hot fires of
his mother. Tell them all these
things, Lord, and if he falleth and
bringeth no succor, Danish him to
the lower regions, to dwell among
the Republicans, Democrats and
calamity howlers, and Thine shall
be the praise and glory throughout
our newspaper career. Amen"

BrunCr, commissioner OF AEriCul

of Louisiana, and who has done
so much for the upbuildiug of the
agricultural walfarc of our great
State.
Since Mr.. Bruner was placed at
lie head Of this department On
May 1st, 1911, there has been
many changes i'll the agricultural
development Of this state. Never
in the history of;hc State has there
been such activity and interest
manifested in the raising of live
stock and in agriculture. Mr..
Bruncr has brought about this
great change; putting new life into
this branch Of the agricultural de
partment; he has strengthened the
weak places; has cut out the use
less expenses and placed the de
partment on more solid and bust
ness basis, and today, through this
department our state is going for
ward with much rapidity, and if
this good work is not CHECKED or
hampered. Louisiana will, i'll a
very short time, rank at the head
of the Southwestern Agricultural
States, and the millions of idle
acres of land will be put into a
state of cultivation.
Mr.. Bruner is an experienced
and successful man in the business
of farming, and has the proper
knowledge of the needs of our
state. and with this knowledge has
strengthened and broadened the
work of the department. He be-
lieves i'll protecting the farmers
interest and stands for economy.

and does not believe that any parti-

has had the state boosted as a whole
With Mr.. Bruner at the head Of
the Agricultural and Immigration
Department, and with his co-work-
, ers, stand now for what they stood
four years ago, namely: The build
ing up of Louisiana agriculturally;
1 helping the farmers better their
condition; the raising of more and
better cattle, hogs, horses, mules,
, poultry, etc; better drainage; better
roads; diversifcation; conservation
of our soils; cooperation: better
agricultural schools, organizations:
cheaper money on long time loans:
raise everything possible at home:
keep out of tin cans and western
markets; buy as much as possible
for cash; and constant advertising
and boosting of Louisiana as the

Guthrie had been looking rather cur

Slowly the face of the girl across
the table faded from Guthrie's perspec-
tive. In its place came that of little
woman in a muslin gown. Its ruffles lay
about the throat-such throat. 1t in
turn was replaced by another face-that
of the girl he had left in the after

SilO Suggestions.
Continued from page ~

CINE This may be cheaper to rent
and is nearly always available
when needed. In fact, some thresher-
men now have their silo outfits too,
and do that line of work also, as it
comes after most of the small grains
have been separated. Plenty of
power is required, and this demands
an engine of large capacity, especial
ly if many silos are to be filled.
AS the cut corn or sorghum is de-
posted in the silo enough men
should be there to take care of it
and see to its proper distri bution and
packing. Where cut into short
lengths practically no air-spaces are
left except about the walls. There
it should be tramped heavily. A
conveyor or distributor is advisable,
as it not only makes better mix
ture of the grain and fodder but will
save at least the labor of one man
in the silo where two or more pre-
viously were employed.
Unless the silage is to be used at
once, it is good practice to strip the
grain off the stalks of the last few
loads and cut the slower for the top
layers in the silo. For this purpose,
there is nothing better or more eco
nomical. This of course molds and
is unfit for feed. No other covering
is necessary, but spraying the top
with water, and then tramping once
for each of several days following
will materially assist toward thor
oughly sealing the mass, minimiz-
ing loss, and when opened up the
silage should come out in excellent
condition. Some thoroughly soak
the top with water, then add guam
tity of oats which of course will ger
inmate and form a thick covering.
This is also a good method.

Live Stock

In raising live stock the successful
farmer fully appreciates the value OF
good breed, proper care and scientific
feeding. If any one feature is neg
lected the full value of the feed is not
secured. The production of live stock
is not, nor has it been for several
years, keeping pace with the increase
in our population and the demands
from abroad. Western ranges have
been developed into farms and East
ern farmers have been so well salts.
fled with the high price obtained for
corn, hay and other products that
they have not bothered with live
stock Because of the increasing de
mand for meat at home, and the def
cit abroad partly because of the war,
meat will command very attractive
price for many years to come. An
other reason why stock raising should
not be neglected is because the ma

things were untidy. There was no color

been show girl, as she lay on the bed.
At her side was her baby, three weeks
old The oldest child, boy of seven,
was feeding bits of board from the walk
in the back yard to a dying fire. A
