Business People Attention.

Have our business people consi-
dered the proposed advance in
freight rates which Commission
Taylor says are revolutionary
and have they decided to send a
delegation to Baton Rouge on the
18th, instant, to oppose such an
advance of rates.
This is a matter of great impor-
tance for the entire section as well
as the State as this town gets q
large amount of freight and a large
amount of carload freight, and the
building of roads alone is worth
consideration as all material has to
be received by rail.

GRAVEL ROADS.

There has been talk and lots of
discussion concerning good roads
and nothing has been done in this
parish for good roads, our dirt
roads are passable simply because
the weather has been good.
Terrace, which is the main and
most important road for this town
as an artery of business. is today
the best road in the parish because
some little dragging was done and
helped by favorable weather con-
ditions, and the travel on this road
is enormous, and our merchants
are now in a position to say the
amount OF trade that comes to
them from that road.
To have an idea of what the con-
dition of the Coteau section is look
at the staten ent of the Bank of
Broussard with s5O0,OOO deposits
and the Bank of Youngville show
ing nearly as good a condition,
that section which is entirely cane,
is overhowing with money and
when roads permit, St. Martinville
gets most of that trade, all the
planters in that section are very
prosperous, they own automobiles
and have gravel roads almost every
where around them, or good dirt
roads. If we have good roads we
will keep and may increase our
trade in that section, if bad wea-
ther comes we will lose it, Do you
understand what that means?
We must have good roads if we
want to keep up with other towns
and compete with them, We must
not be satisfied with what we have,
we want more. We need more
sidewalks in st. Martinville, we
need paved streets and we want
gravel roads 10 the parish, all these
cost money, but we cannot expect
to harvest unless we plant. Money
spent on such improvements is an
investment that brings abundant
returns.
We must move forward with the
rest of the progressive country
The time is now fully ripe to take
up this important matter.

BUILD UP POULTRY FLOCK
BY CAREFUL BREEDING.

There is probably no one practice
which will do so much to destroy the
efficiency of the farm poultry flock a.
the old method of indiscrininate
breeding from every bird kept on the
farm. Mass breeding means rapid de-
terioration; proper selection means
improvement.
Every poultry raiser should provide
means for keeping small pen Of So
lected birds separate from the remain
der of the flock during the breeding
season. Where q separate house and
yard is not available, this can be &C.
complished by putting a temporary
partition in the roosting house and
providing a wire-enclosed yard out
side.
The prime essential of a good breed
ing bird is vigor and vitality. When
the chicks are first hatched, one win
than the rest; chicks which do not
dry off" well; chicks which show .
protruding abdomen. or chicks which
show other abnormal characteristics
Many of the chicks will apparently
overcome these troubles, and they will
be quickly forgotten unless some
means is taken to mark them 80 they
can be readily identified At any time.
All Of these defects point to a weak
constitution, and mean that such
chicks should never be used for breed.
ing purposes, no matter how strong
they may look later. Perhaps the SAT-
est way to mark such chicks is by
cutting of one of the middle toes
Perform this operation with . sharp
knife or pair Of scissors, making the
cut right at one of the toe-joints. In
this way it will cause the bird very
little pain or Inconvenience. The time
to do this is just as soon as any de-
feet is noticed, such as those mention
ed, which points to weak vitality.
While the young chicks are grow
ing there will occasionally be seen q
bird which is sick. which is not feath-
ering out properly, which does not
grow as rapidly as others from the
same hatch, or which shows some 9th
er weakness Just sas soon as any Of
these points are noticed, mark that
chicken. II this practice of marking
the weak chicks is rigidly followed.
from time Of hatch to maturity, and
even after maturity, one will know
that all birds not having the mark are
those which have never shown indi-
cations Of weakened vitality. They
are the cream Of the flock"
The strongest of the unmarked
birds should then be selected. The
vigorous, healthy bird will show large
bone, a comparatively short, stout
head and beak. a bright, full eye, a
firm, red comb. a wide back, a full,
deep breast, a glossy. close-ftting coat
of feathers, and straight legs. set we'll
apart. Discard the birds which do
not show all these points of vigor.
Then, from the remainder, select those
which show suitable color and shape.
Remember, mass breeding means
rapid deterioration, and proper selec-
ton means mprovement.-A. F. Rolf.
