SHEEP RAISING SHOULD BE PRO-
FITABLE IN LOUISIANA.

The New Orleans market sends out
Of the State each year something like
S1S5,OOO to 100000 for mutton and
lamb which might be kept in the
pockets of our own farmers, according
to DR.. w. H. Dalrymple, Professor of
Veterinary Science, Louisiana State
University. Up to the present time in
Louisiana, and in the Gulf States gen.
orally, the sheep has been considered
more of an outcast, and simply de-
stroyer of weeds, than a most valuable
and profitable meat-producing animal,
This seems strange when one consid-
ers that in European countries sheep
are kept on the highest priced farming
lands, and are considered most valuable
as fertility producers and soil builders
In France, for example, on lands worth
$3.50 per acre, great fiocks of mutton
sheep are. to be found; and in Great
Britain, there is scarcely farm to be
seen that does not have its due quota
of sheep. Long experience in main
tanning fertility and in creating it, has
taught the farmers that without the
flocks, they cannot continue profitable
agriculture.
DR.. Dalrymple believes that the feed
ing of mutton sheep could be made
profitable in Louisiana, and sees no
reason why combination of cotton
seed meal, blackstrap molasses and
silage should not be as profitably fed
to bunch of high grade mutton sheep
and lambs, in finishing them off for the
market, as to a lot of beef steers with
the same object in view.

The final and effective argument
against capital punishment will be
made when it is realized that "Thou
shalt not kill" applies as much to
courts as to individuals. 1t may be
that the original Hebrew should
be rendered, Thou shalt do no muir
der" But can any court be always
sure-human testimony being what it
is-that no conviction, carrying the
death penalty, may not really be MUIR
der? If Leo Frank, for instance, should
be taken to the chair, with the evidence
no clearer than it is now, could any
man dare swear that innocent blood
will not have been shed?

NOW HAS ITS ENEMIES
BOUND.
(The independently

The legislatures of New York, New
Jersey and West Virginia have lately
passed resolutions in favor of equal
suffrage by votes unanimous or nearly
so. This does not, of course, mean that
all the members personally approve of
the measure. No doubt some of them
will vote against it at the polls, as they
have perfect right to do.
But the practical unanimity of the
vote in the various state legislatures
means more than that the question is
regarded as of sufficient Importance to
be submitted to referendum of the
people, 1t means that the political OPP
position to equal suffrage has virtually
collapsed all over the country. No
party is willing to commit itself to de-
cided opposition. Prominent politicians
are as a rule either hedging or out
spoken in it's favor. Many people, who
are conscientiously opposed to it, will
admit in conversation that they know
it is coming, though they believe it
their duty to prevent it as long as
possible.
When reform reaches this stage it's
success is assured unless it is over
whelmed by a general reactionary
movement, or it's advocates in their
haste adopt offensive tactics. Votes
for women is so obviously deduction
of democracy that in the natural
course of progress it is bound to come
in any self-governing community.

The building of a teachers home
near the schoolhouse is a commend
able innovation that is being intro
duced into the rural districts Of Louis
lana, and will have much to do with
checking the wanderlust Of teachers
which Supt. Harris finds so trying. A
frequent cause of a teachers changing
her school is due to inability to secure
a suitable or congenial boarding-place.
Sometimes when the salary is right,
and the patrons and pupils kindly and
pleasing, young women accustomed to
comforts deemed ordinary in a town,
find themselves ten miles from bath
room, and required to endure other de-
priVations. A teachers home simply but
properly supplied with conveniences
would be attractive to the teacher
weary of boarding. It would also in
sure some married teachers, or those
Of mature years at least. It tends to
stability.

A PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURAL
SCHOOL.

The Agricultural School at Stone
wall, De Soto parish, was one of the
first of it's kind to be established il
Louisiana. 1t has had the active sup
port of the people of the community
and parish from the beginning and it's
demonstrations in growing different
crops are closely followed. The school
farm comprises about ten acres on
which the more modern methods of
diversified farming are practiced. 1t
is equipped with a stock barn, a dairy
barn, work animals, and farming i'm
plements. A careful record is kept of
the milk production of the five Jersey
heifers owned by the farm. Two Of
these heifers are registered. Pure-bred
hogs are raised, and the school is the
center of the pig club activity of the
parish. The agricultural exhibit from
the Stonewall school won first premium
at the State Fair last fall, and numer-
Gus other premiums were won by it's
pupils in club work and Judging con-
tests.
At the beginning of the present ses-
sion the parish school board erected
five-room residence for the agricul-
tural teacher. The school patrons
hauled the lumber from the cars to
the building site, and the larger school
boys, supervised by a contractor, did
most of the work of constructing and
painting the building.

1t is generally conceded that the
farmers of the country need cheaper
money. They owe $5,OOO,OOO,OOO, and
when it is considered that the average
rate of interest is at least per cent,
most Of them paying per cent, and
many 10 per cent it can be seen at a
glance what an enormous drain upon
the farmers Of the nation is their in
terest account alone. The injustice
and hardship of this is the more pro-
nounced, because mercantile and other
businesses, in many instances, get their
money at much lower rate. Safer
markets and cheaper money are but
due the farmer, and it should be the
study of our statesmen to devise some
method of giving relief in these par
ticulars to the modern Atlas-burden-
bearer Of the world.

In Mississippi, they have a better
barns movement. Good work. 1t is
practical from every consideration.
Why farmers living in good houses can
tolerate lop-sided, implanted barns is
mystery. On one of the railroad
lines between here and New Orleans,
within a stones throw of a comfortable
residence, there is a barn that has
needed repair for several years, and
which could be put in order, barring
paint, in a days time. One passing by
looks each time to see If divine dis
content has yet struck its owner.

Seventeen patent medicine advertise

Seventeen patent medicine advertise
ments are counted in single issue of
four page Louisiana weekly. The
harm done the public by urging the
use of medicines, largely alcoholic, and
many of them producing drug-forming
habits, is incalculable, but if this rea-
son has no weight,-and there are
some who refuse to be their brothers
keeper = the pecuniary returns from
this sort Of advertising are so meager
that it is not worth handling. There
is no hazard in the guess that for the
seventeen ads mentioned above the
publisher of the paper does not collect
so much as one hundred dollars year.
And for this paltry sum he ruins the
appearance of his paper, as well as the
health Of the credulous.

AS TO BELGIAN FARMERS.

A lecturer, addressing students Of
the Louisiana State University recent
ly, criticized the movement to intro
duce Belgian farmers into Louisiana,
saying that this work is undertaken in
face of the fact that there are thou
sands of unemployed men in the Unit
ed States today. The inference was
that no attempt is made to place the
latter. On the contrary, social reform
and labor leaders have long wrestled
with this problem of the unemployed,
and it has been found impossible to
move the majority of idle men con-
gested in the large cities, principally
New York and Chicago. AS a rule,
they will not take work, except at
their own particular trade. Others will
not consent to leave the city. They
refuse country labor when it is pro-
Vtded for them. It may be seriously
questioned, if their distress Is so great,
if they thus make choice of where they
will live. Moreover man need not
starve, if he be within walking dis
lance of the country in any city of
these United States.
On the other hand, the Belgians
whom it is proposed to bring to Louis
lana, are not only homeless and will
ing to go anywhere, but they are prac-
tical farmers, and would be an actual
benefit to Louisiana as immigrants.

costs in the trial courts of Mississippi
are from one half to one third lower
