TRY THIS METHOD
OF CANNING TOMATOES
Economical Method Recommended
BY Louisiana State University
Specialists.

An economical method OF cannlni
tomatoes Is recommended by the can
ming specialists Of the Extension DlvI
sion, Louisiana State University, as
follows:
Pack firm. whole fruits in a jar and
fill in the spaces with a concentrated
tomato sauce. Each quart jar will
then provide whole tomatoes for sal
ads or baking and a tomato PURGE for
soups or sauces. The recipe is given
here.
Select firm. uniformly red, ripe to.
matoes of medium size. Put into trays
and lower into boiling water for one
minute. Remove, plunge into cold
water, drain, and cut out the core with
a slender.pointed knife without cut
ting into the seed cells. Peel prompt
ly and pack into jars. To each pint
add one level teaspoonful OF mixture
of one.third salt and two.thirds sugar.
FIJI the Jars with a thick tomato sauce
made by cooking the small or broken
tomatoes until tender, Remove the
seeds and skins by straining the pulp
and concentrate it by boiling 70
about the consistency of ketchup. Ad.
just the rubber cap, place the packed
jars on a false bottom in a vessel OF
water which reaches almost to their
tops and keep at boiling temperature
for rs minutes. Remove the jars from
the water bath and tighten the covers

HORSES ACT THROUGH
INSTINCT and HABIT
THEIR FUTURE VALUE DEPENDS
ON THE WAY THE COLT
is BROKEN.
GOOD TREATMENT PAYS
Uniformity Of Conduct Is Ono Of tho
Chief characteristics Of tho
SS,se-Habits Formed
Early.

The future value and usefulness OF
the horse depends very largely on the
way the colt Is broken, according to
Farmers Bulletin 667, issued by the
United States Department of Agricul.
ture. By broken colt is meant one
that Is safe to handle in the stable or
on the road and that will promptly
obey the orders of the driver or rider.
Memory and habit are the two main
factors with which we have to deal in
training horses. A horse acts through
instinct and habit, and one of It's
greatest characteristics is uniformity
of conduct What a horse is once
trained to do he will nearly always
do under like conditions.
The first thing in training horse
Is to get his attention. The second is
to make him understand what is want.
ed. The education of the horse is
based on reward and punishment. The
reward, pat on the neck, etc. should
Immediately follow the act of obedl.
ence, The punishment, TO be effective,
must Immediately follow the act Of
disobedienee.
Few horses are inherently vicious.
Many horses are made vicious and IN.
reliable by the carelessness or unneces.
sary brutality of their trainers. If a
horse kicks because the harness hurts
him, or SHES at something of which
he is afraid, punishment Is not justifi. |
able. If, however, after being stopped,
horse starts before receiving tho
command to do SO, he should be pun.
ished. Horses are naturally obedieRt,
and when thoroughly trained their
conduct Is uniformly good.
A horse should be trained so that
he thinks there is no limit to his power
10 do the things required of him, and
believe that he has no power to do
hat which Is against the wishes of his
1river. Above all, never ask OF
lorse something he Is unable to per-
orm and then punish him because it
an not be done If, during the first
rear of his work a colt is hitched
'nly to loads that he can pull he will
levelop into a good work horse, while

BRASS BAND BEING ORGAN.
lied By ARCADIA BOYS

A move is on foot to organize a brass
band for Arcadia. Already something
like Is members have signed up, if
we are correctly informed. Mr. Bus.
scy, manager of the Victory Theatre
will direct the band. Both he and
Mrs BaSsey are excellent musicians.
and under their teaching, we predict
that the band will be making splendid
progress soon.
A good brass band is a big asset to
any town, and we are glad TO note the
interest that Is being taken. We hope
soon TO see this town with one Of the
best bands in this section.

I'M SPIDER CAUSES MUCH
~ INJURY TO FRUIT
Can Be Controlled BY busting or
Spraying During the Summer
Months.

An insignificant looking insect, bu
one that sometimes is very injurious
10 fruit trees is the red spider, accord
ing to B. Szymoniak, associate hortl
culturist, Extension Division, Loulsl

"A large number Of insects OF the
red spider species infests the undel
surface of the leaves and produces a
spotted, yellow, sickly appearance
which finally results in the leaves drop
ping off," says Mr.. Szymonak'
"There arc two kinds Of red spider
that arc found on fruit trees. one IS
known as the yellow mite and the
other as the brown mite. The yellow
mite is about the size of a pinhead or
smaller and spins fine web on the
under surface of the leaves under
which it lives, multiplies and sucks the
juices from the plants. The brown
mite is brownish red in color, has a
flat back and is of about the same size
as the yellow mite, but does not spin
a web. The brown mite lives on the
lwigs and branches, to which it does
The most damage by sucking the SAP.
"The only satisfactory way to con-
troll the red spider is to dust or spray
with sulphur during the summer
months. Dry, finely pulverized sui

S important to apply the sulphur at

DID YOU GET YOURS?

Just a short time ago a big Chi
cago mail order house called its
stockholders together and de-
clared a special dividend OF ~
per cent. That was in addition to
one regular dividend already paid
this year, and to another that Will
be declared in January.
When we read it, and knowing
as we do that dozens Of people IN
Abbevil,e and vicinity send their
money to that concern for Ihe
same goods they can get just as
low-priced here at home, we won
dered if any of them read the
same thing and realized that they
helped to pay that extra dividend:
We also wondered if they realized
that when those stockholders IN
the mail-order house want any
thing to wear or eat; when they
want medical or legal aid they get
it in Chicago, and not out IN the
towns from whence their money
comes.
Your home merchant isn't pay
ing himself any especial dlVl
dend" Of 20 per cent. But even
if he does it looks better to us. De.
cause he spends it right here at
home and all Of us get some bena'
fit from it. Not only that, but the
home merchant helps to keep up
the streets and sidewalks, helps &c
support the school and churches
and it's digging into his pocket
every time charity makes a call
On the other hand the Chicago
mail-order men take your mone.y
make big profit or they could moi
declare dividends Of 20 per cent
and you never reap one penny II

SCHOOL AND ROAD TAXES.

One of the greatest hindrances
to education in this section is the
opposition of the taxpayer who
has no children Of his own to edu-
cate, or whose children have al
ready received the benefits that
the public school system has to
offer. In a talk with an Abbevllle
man. and one well posted on this
question, We have 'oeen informed
that many a district is today uh,
fortunate enough to have large
land owners with no interest in
educ alton, who are making I'M
possible and improvements by
their refusal to cooperate in any
thing from which they are not TO
receive a direct benefit.
The old question of "why should
l pay for the education of my
neighbors children?" has been the
bone of contention throughout the
entire fight against llllteracy III
this country. And the same argu-
ment is offered whenever road
tax is mentioned. Perhaps the
man whose farm does not border
on a public highway feels he
should not pay taxes on the I'M
proved road. And yet if the high
way is not improved what good
to home is the lane running of
OF. it to his own farm9 The lane
can t take him off of his own prop
erty. Those living on the side
roads must awaken to the fact that
main travelled roads are of benefit
to them, even if they do not reside
directly upon them, and they must
cooperate If we ever expect to get
out Of the mud in this section, and
pstav out Of it,
y Good schools and good roads are
firanossible so long as men are
blind through selfishness to the
needs Of the entire community in
which they reside. -Abbeville

office building elan are climbing
in his band wagon. Those who
sixty days ago. thirty days ago,
were endeavoring to help Stubs
are now soft pedaling his candi-
dacy. The reason is obvious.
They have heard from their con-
stituents. These have said it's
Parker for governor and woe be
unto him who opposes him.
You have striking Illustration
If this fact in st. Landry. Only

behind him. They are standing
