SHEEP OWNERS.

Baton Rouge, Feb. 11.-Last year
a great deal of money was lost in
Louisiana because ram lambs had not
been castrated. 1t is to be hoped
that such loss will be avoided this
year by properly docking and cas-
trating all lambs at the right time.
1t is a rather discomfiting fact that
though docking demonstrations have
been urged through the different par
ishes Of Louisiana, this Office has not
had a single voluntary application
for such assistance. To this date no
parish agent has reported having
STATIONS. We hope this lack OF in
terest is due to the fact that the
work is being properly done indie
pendently of the parish agent.
About fifty calls were sent to this
office last season for pure bred rams
to be used on grade and scrub f1ocks
Rams were very scarce in the State.
This year in case the Inquiries come
out in time it is desirable to send to
central stock markets and pick UP a
deck of desirable field rams as they
are sent in after shearing. These
rams could then be properly drench-
ed for the determination of worms.
Louisiana is said to be the first
State in the Union that sold wool CO.
operatively. About half the wool in
the State was sold in this manner
last season. With war board con-
troll removed, it is more important
this year that the growers unite in
selling the clip.
There is decided sentiment on
some Of the ranges of the State in
favor of sharply culling the focks at
penning time this year for the pur-
pose of getting rid of inferior and
scrubby rams so that when a new
ram is purchased, he will not be rem
dered useless by the presence OF a
host of scrub rams in the flock
Unusual complaint has come to
this office Of loss among goats. After
careful Investigation of several herds
1t is the opinion of this office that the
goats doubtless are being killed by
heavy infestation of lice; as many as
100 lice and nits counted over a
single square inch of skin By all
means dip the goats to kill lice In
many cases they have been put thru
cattle watts.
Great numbers of sheep and goats
are lost every year in this State, for
lack OF most ordinary attention; in
short, the stock is neglected This
office is DESTROYS of being of service
in improving sheep husbandry in
Louisiana, but in the absence of the
most ordinary care on the part OF an
owner our cooperation is, useless
Hoping to be OF service to all,
remain.
Very truly yours,
G. P. WILLIAMS,
Extension Sheep Husbandman.

HAIR STOPS FALLING.
Save Your Hair! Get Small Bottle

Also Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff 1t robs the
hair OF it's lustre, its strength and its
very life; eventually producing a
feverishness and itching of the scalp,
which il not remedied causes the hair
roots to shrink, loosen and die-then

: WARNING TO FEED BUYERS.

Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
Ask some dealer for unbolted meal
The sample does not look like ground
corn. You inquire, lis this pure
corn?" You are satisfied with the
answer; but look at the tag and the
analysis inside OF the sack. Mind,
inside, doubtless to hide it as far as
possible. If you know anything
about the relative food values of
feedstuffs-that is, what percentage
of corn, compared with feed mix
lures, is utilized in making bone
flesh and blood, and to furnish fuel
for the animal body-your temper
rises. You are probably offered
''homco" presumably intended to
mean hominy compound), corn feed
meal, corn germ feed, or some other
mixture.
Ask for cottonseed meal. Read the
label and analysis Is it not cotton
seed feed Note that this feed is
said to contain 20 per cent of pro-
tein, the most costly ingredient in
all foods. When you buy prime
cottonseed meal you get IS per cent
OuC uOcS1OI VIII
cottonseed feed for cottonseed meal
does not deny the fraud when it is
exposed, and excuses his conduct on
the ground that cottonseed meal is
high priced
These frauds upon the purse are
of two fold nature: One dollars
worth of the substitute is generally
less valuable than one dollars worth
of the straight goods, and the sub
stitute is often as high priced as the
genuine.
Protection is of two sorts: Learn
the value of the different feeds; deal
with non-substitute, honest-weight
dealers, for many dealers sell only
what is called for. Buy hay by
weight. The difference between Tim
othy at $50 bale and &c a pound,
current local prices, is surprising.
We pass the item of short weight
sack feeds; consumers will not weigh
their feeds, and we must look to our
for greater penalties for
this fraud.

most progressive and brilliant corps

The majority of the teachers at
tend our meetings regularly. Let
all those interested in the children
attend, and show appreciation Of the
interest the teachers take in the
children.
Quite an amount of filling has been
put on the school grounds, and as
soon as the weather permits the
grading will be started
We are looking forward to having
the Summer Normal held here, be-
ginning the first week in June and
covering a period of six weeks. This
means a great deal to Covington. In
previous years the teachers of the
Summer Normal, and those teachers
attending the Summer Normal, had
much difficulty in securing accom-
modatidns To provide accommoda-
lions this year motion was made
and carried that we canvass the town
to gain some idea of what we have
to offer. If we show that we can
accommodate about seventy or more
teachers, we will most likely have
the Normal, so let us hustle.
We have received invitations to
two conventions, the Louisiana Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, to be held
in New Orleans Feb. II, IS and IA,
and to the Southern Congress of a
League of Nations, to be held in
Atlanta, Ca, Feb. % to March 1.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE

When the School Improvement
League met on Wednesday of last
week, the question Of the four O'Clock
fore the members.
After the first epidemic of the flu,
and when the school re-opened, after
having been closed for several weeks,
an extra hour had been added to each
school day. The mothers of the
children. with very few exceptions,
requested the school board to have
the regular three o'clock hour re-
stored, it being understood that the
extra hour was of very little, II any,
educational value to the child and
that it tended to undermine the
health of the child. The request
was granted and the regular three
O'Clock closing hour restored.
When the school re-opened, after
having been closed owing to the sec
ond epidemic, the parents of the
children were very much surprised
to find that the four O'Clock closing
hour was again being enforced
A motion was made and carried
that a protest be drawn up and pre-
scented to the school board, asking
to have the extra hour eliminated,
as we found the four o'clock closing
hour over fatiguing to the normal
child.
We know that the schools have
been more or less disorganized all
over the country this term, owing to
two unusual epidemics, and we feel
that all parents will cooperate with
the teachers to make the school work
as near normal as possible. Not by
over-rushing or crowding or fatigu-
ing, but by doing the best thing in
the best way.
We here in Covington have a
school to be more than proud OF and
