WHY NOT A CREAMERY

Lafayette parish ought to be a
dairying parish. The climate here is
specially favorable to cattle raising,
grass plentiful and food crops easily
raised. The only drawback is char
bon, but Charlton can be successful
]y combatted and completely elimi-
mated by concerted effort.
To develop the dairying' POSSIBLE
ties all that is necessary is for the
farmers to start raising mich cows,
each raising three of more which
could be easily done without inter-
ference with his crop work. If all
would start now in three of four
years there would be enough cows
to furnish milk for big creamery
at Lafayette.
The building of the gravel roads
will make it possible to send motor
milk collecting wagon out every
morning to gather up the milk and
80 keep the creamery busy at all
time.
The money the farmers would get
from this source would come in
daily and be a neat little amount to
help put them on a cash buying
basis. Besides, if they would all take
stock, which they should do, they
would undoubtedly get very salts
factory dividends each year for a
creamery here would be success if
handled properly. There is market
right here at home for every bit Of
butter the creamery would produce.
This matter is one that the far
mers should be highly interested in
and undertake. 1t can be done so
easily if all will 60 into it. The first
thing needed for creamery is
enough cows to furnish milk and the
farmers by raising three or four
mich cows piece can supply that
lack. The cost of the machinery and
buildings so that everything really
depends upon the farmers. It is
greatly to their interest and profit
to enter into this plan and The Ad-
vertiser suggests that a meeting of
representative men from the differ
ent wards be held in Lafayette as
soon as can be arranged and take up
the matter of organizing the farm
ers in a concerted movement in this
direction.-Daily Advertiser.

SHERMAN'S MARCH TO SEA
ENACTED IN GREAT PICTURE

Quite the most wonderful of the
many wonderful scenes in "The
Birth Of Nation" is that showing
Sherman's march to sea and the
burning Of the City of Atlanta. I'm
agine,. if you can, a view Of long,
fertile valley extending for miles.
Moving through this. valley, in
struggling formation, or lack of
formation, is the army Of General
Sherman. The view is 50 extensive
that the soldiers appear but little
larger than ants, yet the reproduc-
ton is 20 clear that the form Of each
man 10 perfectly delineated.
Now and then puff Of smoke in
dicates return fire upon snipers in
farm buildings. Now and then q
barn is fired in evident retaliation
for q deadly bullet from its shelter,
and the army Of human ants is ever
moving forward, wriggling its way
like . hug serpent towards its goal
the sea.
Atlanta is reached. Whether the
burning Of the city was q military
necessity, or whether the conflaga-
ton was Of accidental origin, chron-
iclers Of the time fail to agree, but
Atlanta was sacrificed to flames and
the conflagation is so realistically
pictured in 'The Birth of Nation"
that one can almost smell the smoke
and hear the cries Of the terrified
people as they flee to the hills for
their lives. Few make any attempt
to save their household effects, SO
great il the haste to escape the
flames and the hated Yankees. Up
the hills they rush, men, women and
little children, an endless parade Of
misery, drear and hopelessness.
Sherman's army has cut it, fear
ful swathe through the heart Of !!
he South. Another link has been
forged in the chain that shall bind |
~ Confederacy TO the stake. An
stAer move has been made in the big
war game that i to end ct Apo
nattox Court House with the sur
'snder ef Lee.

viii Build Russian Canal.

The project for the construction and
equipment Of q vOlga-Don canal, as
designed by the Russian minister of
ways and communications, has been
approved by the government. The pro-
jected canal will play an important
part in the economic development of
southeastern Russia and of the Volga
and Don basins. Grain from Tsarit-
sin and timber and ore from the Urals
will thereby obtain a direct outlet to
the ports of the Sea Of Azof and
thence to the Black sea. Moreover,
the canal will make it possible to sup
ply coal to all the chief cities and in
Mstrial centers of the Volga and sur
rounding country from the rich coal
district Of the Donetz basin.

Planting Trees In Streets.

]. II. Reed says Of street planting
Proceed with caution, but proceed.
It is too little appreciated that results
from ornamental-tree planting, or its
neglect, are to continue indefinitely.
In the generations to come tree-lovers
will be praising the good taste and
good judgment Of the planters and
caretakers before them, or will be criti-
Ching the injudicious work, or the en-
tire absence Of what should then have
been done"

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF BEAUTY
Los Angeles County Property Owners
Wise in Planting Flowers on
Borders Of Roads.

LOS Angeles county, California, Is
the visitor more reminded of the beau
ty of the famous Mediterranean play
ground than in the treatment of the
roadsides," says the American High
way association. 'There is one broad
boulevard where, for 10 miles one trav-
els between continuous rose bowers
backed with palms or frs. About fifty
thousand rose bushes of fifty varieties
were used in this landscape gardening.
I'm many places the roads wind
through orange, lemon and walnut
groves separated from the roadway
by masses of rose bushes four to six
feet high, which charm the eye and
fill the air with fragrance even in
December.
'"The work was done by individuals,
but it was so successful that about two
years ago q committee was organized
to carry on such roadside treatment
on larger scale and in accordance
with comprehensive plans. Funds were
raised by a direct tax, and the county
forestry department was placed in
charge Of the execution Of the project.
"About two hundred miles Of road
now have 80 road trellises to the mile
Of highway. Each trellis is 20 feet
long, five feet high and supports five
bushes. Fifty varieties of roses are
used, and give an attractive combina-
ton of colors. In addition, pOppies,
petunias and geraniums, which grow
luxuriantly in that climate, have also
been used along the boulevards, and
palms and eucalyptus trees have been
set out where necessary to break fiat
