Our president has proved to be
a mighty complex problem for
the people of the nation to figure
out. He began his term by rul-
ing congress with an iron hand.
He stated point.blank that he was
opposed to any plan of prepared
ness because he thought we
were not in need of anything Of
the kind. He was opposed to a
high tariff. He was elected on a
one-term plank. Now he has
been touring the country to Sc
cure public support for his plan
of ultra-preparedness. He has
given notice that he stands for a
revision of the tariff upward. II
is quite generally believed that he
is preparing to repudiate the one.
term plank upon which he was
elected.

the president seems to keep in

with little conjunction. Nc

A new organization in the
state which Gains to be in posi-
ton to WELD considerable polite
al power at the coming elections
is the Non-Partisan Political
League. The League is the out
growth of the work of a few
gentlemen who were not satisfied
with some of the results obtained
at the last session of the leeisla-
ture and the candidates through
out the state will be watched
closely by the organization.
In this part of Emmons county
there is little known of the Non
Partisan League, its aims or its
aspirations. The claim is made
that more than thirty thousand
farmers in the state have enrolled
as members, and that all are
promised to vote as directed.
The Record believes that the
farmers of the state should CO.
operate as much as possible for
their own advantage. People in
other walks of life do likewise,
and the privilege should be theirs.
This paper is not dominated by
the railroads, the state political
organizations, the financial inter
ests, the chamber of commerce
or any other similar institutions.
We pay our way on the railroads;
we take the same treatment as
the farmer at the hands of the
chamber of commerce when we
sell grain; and we pay the pre-
vailing rate of interest when we
borrow money. The Record has
never been bought" by any of
them. In fact, the Record is such
small fry" in such matters that
none of them would conceive it
worth while to try to buy it. On
the other hand, a great portion
of our income is derived from
the farmers of the county. And
the Record is ready at any anc
all times to work for their inter
ests rather than to favor the
corporation. And in our small
way, we have always tried to dt
so.
AS to the Non-Partisan League
We are neither its enthusiastic
boosters, nor its antagonists
We can see chances for good ant
for bad results in the movement

If it remains a truly representa-
tive organization in the hands of
farmers it should accomplish a
great deal. If a few sharks are
able to control it and use the
farmers in the organization as
they please, then it will become
the greatest evil in the state to-
day. BY its works it should be
judged. The Record, however,
is not in the pay of the trusts or
the corporations. Neither is it
controlled by the Non-Partisan
League. If the press reports to
the effect that the League may
support John H. Worst, of the
agricultural college, for governor
we are with them that far and we
further believe such action an ev-
idence of good faith on the part
of the League. They could do
no better in looking for a candi-
date. On the other hand, if the
Non-Partisan League is for the
purpose of railroadine Plaza
Smith or some socialist of un-
known or untried ability, then
the Record is "aein" them.
1t is too early yet to Judge the
value of the Non-Partison
League. 1t may be of untold
value to the welfare of the state.
1t may do untold damage. We
are not to be blindly led by the
heads of the Non-Partisan
League, neither are we beholden
to those the League proposes to
fight. The present campaign
will determine the credibility of
the League to a great degree.

Colored Farmers Meeting.

A meeting will be held at Parks
on Monday October 23rd., which
will be addressed by District agent
LIE. Perrin, who will speak in
French and President j. S. Clark
Of the Southern University, j. NJ :.
Burr, farm demonstrators agent and
DIR. L. A. Butler.
The object of the meeting is to
interest the colored people in farm
ing and induce them to remain on
the farm where they can make the
best and most Independent living.
Many of our colored people have
followed the bad example of many
white farmers and have abandon
ed the farm for the towns and CT
ties where they believed life was
better and easier.
Many are now realizing their
error and are glad to return to the
farm. Farming like anything else,
has its good and bad years, but in
the long run, even with it re-
verses. it is the best and most in
dependent and happiest calling of
them all.

MAMMOTH SWINE
SHOW FOR FAIR.

II the inquiries received by those in
charge of the preliminaries are to be
considered an index to the interest
manifested in the swine department,
the display of hogs at this years
Louisiana State Fair, Nov. to s. will
be record-breaking. There will be sew.
eral hundred fine blooded specimens
on exhibition in competition for the
many premiums that are offered, and
many other hogs will be placed at the
fair for sale. AS the general competi.
ton is open to the world. swine breed
ers from different parts of the country
will participate in the mammoth show,
and some of the best known herds will
be represented.
Unusually attractive accommoda'
lions are guaranteed the swine exhib'
it's. A new building was used last
wear. but the swine display was so
large then and prospects this year
point to so much improvement that
another building costing 100000 has
been provided, almost doubling the
amount of exhibit space.
Prof. f. L. Jordan OF animal indus
try, l.. S. u. Baton Rouge, will be
superintendent, and Chas. A. Marker

Democratic Headquarters

News has been received from
Democratic Headquarters in New
Iberia, of most encouraging and
enthusing nature. Letters are
reaching Headquarters daily from
many points in every parish in the
District, indicating that the
strength of Hon. Wade o. Martin,
Democratic nominee for Congress
is being daily and hourly augmen-
ted.
Hon. j. M. Parker's reputation
of Mr.. Hughes, and his active sup
port of Mr.. Wilson has created
CONSERVATION and dismay in I'M
Democratic ranks. The fact that
the tariff Oh sugar can no longer
be an issue, has also weakened the
platform and standing ground OF
the opposition.
Democratic Headquarters is very
active in sending to all portions
and parts of the District literature
giving uncontrovertible and most
convincing facts, and these facts
are having their effect among
those who have, i'll a measure, been
unfamiliar with the actual and
true situation. The outlook for a
Democratic victory is most bright,
and growing brighter and more
brilliant every day.

DUCK RAISING AS BUSINESS
Fowls Are Fine for Fanny oss Though Not Very Valuable as
 Product for Marketing.

The duck has it's place on the farm' but duck raising as a business IS as yet comparatively unprohtable pe- cause of long distance to market ana prejudice among buyers of live poui- try. The duck furnishes delicious roast for the family and an abun- dance of feathers for home use.
 Contrary to general opinion, pool large enough for swimming is not necessary" says N. L. Harris, su- perintendent of the Kansas state agri- cultural college poultry farm. Ducks can be raised on dry land-that is, if they are provided with water suffi- ciently deep to allow them to sub merge their peaks and wash the sand from their nostrils. Otherwise they will die.
 The natural food for ducks consists of bugs, worms and green succulent vegetation found in marshy places. Notwithstanding the fact that ducks are easily raised, they should not be matched until warm weather, at which time such feeds are plentiful.
 There Is danger of overlooking. ao- cording to MT. Harris. The duck is

GRADING THE LITTLE CHICKS
Grade According to Size and vigor or Arrange Things So Weak Ones
 Are Comfortable.

Owing to differences in the vigor of parent stock, age of eggs when incu- bated, and other causes, there are al ways differences in the vitality of the chicks, and these manifest themselves very quickly. The stronger chicks shove the weaker away from the food, crowd them out of the sunniest spots in the brooder, and take the best of things generally.
 Since the most vigorous chicks are the most valuable, we do not like to discourage this disposition to thrive, but strong chicks should not thrive at the expense of the weak. As soon as there is perceptible difference in the size of the chicks, either grade the chicks according to size, or fix things 50 the weak chicks can eat by themselves.

MUCH DEPENDS ON BREEDERS
Parents of Chicks Should Be Strong Vigorous, Hardy and Resistant
 to All Diseases.

Whether a farmer will raise better poultry this year than he did last will depend primarily upon the kind of stock that is used for breeding. Every baby chick is entitled to be well born. Unless it's parents are strong, vigor- ous, hardy and resistant to disease. 2 poor hatch" and weak. puny chicks will result, say the pouitrymen at Iowa state sVilege.
 The use of low vitality breeders is the most frequent cause of poor incu- batting success and high death rate in breeding. Chicks matched from poor breeding stock never reach the size Of well-bred individuals. The bullets do not begin laying until the following spring and then hardly enough to pay for their feed.
 If the flock is to be improved. only those birds that show size. yigor and egg g-producing qualities should be used as breeders. Twenty-Five good females in a roomy pen with couple of good males will furnish eggs for incubation that will produce chicks worth while, ones that will grow into big fellows worth . good price on the market The bullets from such mating mature rapidly and are in condition to Hay the winter eggs"
