Learn From Others.

The men aud women who are
making the most OF their opportu-
mites on the farm today are those
who mako use of their neighbours
experience. They realize that sx-
psriencs is a slow, expensive and
unsatisfactory way of acquiring
information, but that some one
must acquire it this way. They
DO not discount their own exps-
risnce, but value it highly. Yet
they cannot afford to wait through
years of toll and deprivation fol-
their own experience to prove
things that they oan get from the
experience Of others.
Why waste time and spend mo.
ney trying to prove that which has
been proved by others? Why re-
fuse to do that which the ripe ex-
psrience of others tells US to do,
how to do it aud tho reason for do
ing it? Why experience with
work that 10 we'll known aud be-
ing demonstrated p?
While there are some things
that must be learned by experience,
there arc many facts about sue
csssful farming that may DO had
aud the plan put into successful
operation on ons's own farm.
Books bulletins and the farm
press are full of facts, mauy of
them carefully established aud

may understand. Reading puts
one in touch with tho successful,

oed. Tho reader 10 connected with

Greatly Increased Value Of a
One Time Waste By
Product.
Press Bulletin)

Press Bulletln)
The average amount of sugar
annually produced in Louisiana is,
approximately, 100000 tons. The
average number of gallons of
blackstrap obtained per ton of SUI
gar is about is. If the number of
tons of sugar is multiplied by IS,
it gives Is, 100000 gallons of this
molasses.
Not SO very many years ago, this
material was considered a waste
by-product, and was thrown away
as worthless. During the season
just closed, blackstrap molasses
has sold as high as IA 1-8 cents
per gallon, f. o. b. tank cars, at the
plantation, or a total in money va
lue, based on a 3OO,OOO-ton crop of
sugar, of $2,745,375; or, even Oh a
l5O,OOO-ton sugar output, as the
production was short in 1915, of
81 ,377,1S7.
This means that what was hither-
to a waste by-products on our su-
gar plantations is now yielding a
handsome revenue to the planters;
and it was mainly through expert
mental stockfeeding, with this Ina
terial, by the Experiment Station
of l.. S. u, that brought its feed
ing value to the attention of our
sugar planters, as well as others
outside of the State, aud made
possible the large annual saving
from the utilization of this by
product of our sugar factories. We
wonder if the value of tue Expert
ment Station is yet fully apprecia-
ted by our people?

Fernand MOutOn.

Lafayette, La, Dec. 81, 1915.
Editor Messenger,
st. Martinville, La.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
We are writing to you, solicit
ing the support and aid of the
Messenger in behalf of Fernand
Mouton, candidate for Lieutenant
Governor realizing the fact that
such support would be of material
benefit to his election.
Senator Mouton is making the
race strictly on his own merits.
He is the candidate of no man, or
set of men, but is seeking the Of
fee at the hands of the Louisiana
Democracy.
Senator Mouton's varied expe-
rience in the business world emf
nently fits him for the high Office
to which he aspires. He was at
one time a successful manager of
a large life insurance company at
Paris, France, and still retains con-
nection over a period of 18 years.
He is in the banking, manufacture
ing, real estate, insurance, farm
ing, and is a member of several
financial boards. He is largely
interested in a live wire daily
newspaper in this city.
Senator Mouton is a defendant
of the first democratic governor of
Louisiana, Alexander Mouton, and
of that distinguished confederate
general who lost his life in battle
at Mansfield. Gen. Alfred Mouton,
and he cherishes the ambition to
sustain the honor of the name he
bears.
Senator Mouton is the only can
didate for Lieutenant Governor in
the field who is making a thorough
campaign throughout the State,
and it pleases us to say he is meet
ing with great success.
Senator Mouton hopes to have
the pleasure of presenting his
claims to you for the Office in per-
son. In the meantime would it be
asking too much of you to write
us frankly just what we may ex-
pect from your section, and assure
you any assistance you can render
Senator Mouton in his campaign
will be gratefully remembered.
Yours very truly,
MOUTON CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to zee that all lines owned BY
other parties and connected with are kept in such
condition to furnish efficient service. Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require q thorough overeauling occa-
sionally If the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that every line connected with 10 be
overhauled least once year. and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line makes the amount paid by each man
small and this cost will be than offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service we
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-

Renito Juarez, an Indian belonging to the Zapoteca tribe. came into prom thence in Mexico by reform politics. Internationally he was one or the most remarkable men Mexico has ever produced. He knew Mexican politics perhaps better than any of his pre- decessors and his reform began with the Church, consequently, the acts Of carranza along these lines show that history is merely repeating itself. II is said that JuareZ "natfonailzed church property to the value Of s2o'- 900. .OGO. This brought on another civi; war, and as usual left the coun- try poorer than ever.
