Acadia was the name given by
the French to what is now known
as Novo Scotia and New Bruins
wick, two province of Canada, ly-
ing South East of Maine, discover
ed by the Cabots in 1897. Between
the years 1885 and 1888 some sixty
years families of colonists from
the west coast of France imigrat-
cd to Acadia and settled there.
War between France and England
broke out in 1874, and the English
took possession of Acadia. AS the
Acadians refused to subscribed to
the oath required by the English ,
the government of Novo Scotia de-
cided upon their removal. The
soldiers burned their beloved homes
The Acadians then scattered, a
great many of them coming to
South Louisiana and settled. A
large majority of the people OF
the people of the Parish of Yer

Irish Potatoes ia the Fall.

About the first of August a crop
Of half maturcd COW peas should
be turned under deep and the
land narrowed and reharrowed in
terval until the middle of August
or later, when the planting should
be done. The seed potatoes
should be sprOuted before planting.
1t should be emphasized here that
the tubers will not have time to
mature a crop if they are planted
without first beink we'll sprouted
The method of sprouting is not
difficult. The best method is TO
spread the potatoes out thinly in a
cool, dark place a cellar preferred
as the spring crop has been harvest
ed. No time should be lost in Sc
lecting the amount wanted for the
fall crop and putting them safely
away to sprout. This permits the
tubers to sprout under more or less
natural conditions and the sprouts
are short and sturdy.
Medium to small size tubers
should be used for the fall crop,
planting the whole tuber. If cut
the pieces generally rot without
producing a plant.
Potatoes for the fall crop should
be planted deeper than for the
spring crop so as to get the tubers
down into the cool soil, where they
will push out and grow with great
er vigor than If planted shallow.
From the 10th to the 10Th OF
August is the best time to plant
for the fall crop as a rule, depend
ing, of course, on the condition
of soil and whether or not the tu-
bers have sprouted sufficiently.

Raising Belgian Hares for the Table

it is ingreat demand at hospitals
and for all convalesing patients.
A single doe will easily produce
enough young to give one meal a
week all the year round. The
meat is white like the breast of a
turkey and the writer knows of no
other meat served on the family
table that can be raised at home
that compares with it in flavor and
nutrition. 1t is more easily pre-
pared than a chicken, the young

The raid made by the Washing
ton artillery on the gambling house
of Joe" Hyland, in Jefferson
parish, just across the Protection
levee from New Orleans, has
brought to light some striking facts
in connection with the establish
ment, giving some idea of the eX-
tent to which this dive had grown
under the system of liberation
that has prevailed.
There is reason to believe that
that the energetic course taken by
Governor Hall in raiding the place
securing all the evidence needed
as we'll as the gambling parapher-
MALTA in use there, will break up
the establishment and render posi-
bic the enforcement of the law
against gambling in Jefferson as
in other parishes. The course
taken by the Governor in using
the militia for this purpose was
unusual; but on the other hand
every other means of catching
law-breakers had proved ineffec
tive, and the coup of the Washing
ton artillery was evidently the only
successful way of reaching Jeffer
son.

The Value Of Barnyard
Manure.

Barnyard manure is the
most important manurial re-
source of the farm and should
be carefully saved and used.
1t represents fertility which is,
drawn from the soil and must
be returned to it if productive
ness is to be maintained. 1t
not only enriches the soil with
the nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
and potash, but it also renders
the stored-up materials of the
soil more available, improves
the mechanical condition of
the soil, makes it warmer,
and enables it to retain more
moisture.
On the basis of prices charged
for commercial fertilizers it is
estimated that the average
value of the manure annually
produced by each horse or
mule is $27, by each head of
cattle $40, by each hog $12
and by each sheep 81. Pro-
badly less than half of these
value are actually realized in
practice.
The urine is by far the most
valuable part of the excreta of
animals. 1t is especially
rich in ready available nitrogen
which rapidly escapes into the
air if special precautions are
not taken to prevent its loss.
1t is also rich in potash, but
deficient in phosphoric acid.
1t should, as rule, be used
in connection with the solid
dung, the one thus supplying
the deficiencies of the other
and making it a more evenly
balanced manure.
Barnyard manure is a very
variable substance its compo-
sition and value depending
mainly upon CD age and kind
of animal (2) quantity and
quality of food, (3) proportion
of litter, and (4) method of
management and age. Ordina-
ry barnyard manure properly
cared for may be assumed to
contain on the average one
half per cent each of nitrogen
and potash and third per
cent of phosphoric acid. U. S.
