THEIR FUTURE VALUE OEpENOS
ON THE WAY THE Gull
IS BROKEN.
GOOD TREATMENT PAYS
Uniformity of Conduct Is One OF the
Chief characteristics OF the
Horse-Habits Formed
Early.

The future value and usefulness OF
the horse depends very largely on the
way the colt is broken, according lo
Farmers Bulletin 667, issued by the
United States Department OF Agrlcul'
ture. By broken colt Is meant one
that is safe to handle in the stable OF
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 lts
greatest characteristics is uniformity
of conduct. What horse is once
trained to do he will nearly always
do under like conditions.
The first thing in training a 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, a pat on the neck, etc, should
Immediately follow the act of obedl'
ence. The punishment, to be effective.
must Immediately follow the act OF
disobedience.
Few horses are inherently vicious,
Many horses are made vicious and un'
reliable by the carelessness or unneces'
sary brutality of their trainers. II a
horse kicks because the harness hurts
him or shies at something Of which
ne is afraid, punishment is not Justlfl'
able. If, however, after being stopped
horse starts before receiving the
command to do SO, he should be pun
jshed. Horses are naturally obedlent
and when thoroughly trained thell
conduct is uniformly good.
A horse should be trained so thai
he thinks there is no limit to his power
TO do the things required of him, an(
believe that he has no power to az
that which is against the wishes of hi
driver. Above all, never ask of
horse something he is unable to per
form and then punish him because /
can not be done. If, during the frs
year of his work a colt is hitchet
only to loads that he can pull he vii
develop into a good work horse, whll'
II he is overloaded few times he ma.
become balky and worthless.
All horses can not be treated alike
A high-strung, sensitive horse must
be treated gently, the dullard sharply
The same force applied to the sensitive
horse that is necessary to make tn
slow horses obey would cause the high
strung horse to rebel, while gentle
ness would obtain obedience.

VarnadO Notes.

1t was quite surprise to the
people of our town Saturday
morning to find that nearly every
house had been visited byrobbers
Friday night. The thieves were
evidently looking for money as
they carried off nothing else
fortunately they obtained only a
small amount from two of the
homes visited.
Quite number of young peo-
ple of the town went to Pearl
River on a picnic Friday Every
one present reported a good
time, plenty to eat and plenty OF
ice cream and cold drinks.
Mrs. John Darlington and
children, after spending several
weeks with her parents returned
to her home in Texas Saturday.
Otis Magee after spending
many months in the A. b. +. re-
turned to his home Tuesday.
The people of our town were
saddened Monday night by the
death of Mr.. Martin Grain of
Angie. Mrs. Grains home was
here and her many relations and
friends feel the deepest sympa.
thy for her in her sorrow. Mr..
Grain was buried with Masonic
honors in the Scale Cemetery
near this place.
Prof. H. F. Stafford visited
Franklinton Saturday, and while
there secured another teacher
for our school.
| Miss Johnnie Brnmfeld of
Sunny Hills the fifth teacher and
with her help and the new equip
ment that has been received we
hope to get down to regular
school work at once.

POULTRY MUST HAVE

Water is a very important part II

The body Of an average hen contains
about 56 per cent water. An egg is
about Is per cent water. All feed

ened by water to prepare 1t for the
digestive process. Blood Is composed
very largely Of water which serves to
carry red and white corpuscles to
the different parts Of the body nour'
ishing the needy tissues and eliminat.
ing waste products. Water is just
as important, and just as valuable as
feed in maintaing the body health
Of the hen, and factor in the
maximum production Of eggs.
Supplying water once or twice a
day is not sufficient, especially in
summer when water not only
serves the aforementioned purposes,
but when it is also utilized to lower
the body temperature of the hen
This is done by a system Of evapora'
tion through the breathing organs,
and this is why hens are so often
seen with their mouths open and
breathing rapidly on hot day The
faster they breathe, the more rapic
the evaporation through the lungs
and thus the lower the body tempera
ture. Water, in pure, fresh condl
,ion should be available at all times
The average flock Of 100 hens will
use about five gallons Of water dali,
through the hot weather, Consider
ing both the present prices of feet
and the relative value of feed an
water in the ration, water has a feed
ing value Of about twenty cents pc
gallon. With water costing practical
" nothing, there is no excuse for an
person neglecting this very import
ant factor,

First Bale On Market.

A. l.. Strahan of the first ward
marketed the first bale of 1919
cotton crop of this parish on Sat-
urday, Burris Bros. Ltd, buying
the bale at 20 cents and giving a
barrel of the Royal -four as
premium.
This record was just q days
behind that of last year and the
price 1 1.2 cents higher. The
first ward had the banner last
year also, j. O. Varnado having
sold the first bale of 1918 to
Burris Bros. Ltd. on August lst.
at q IL cents per pound. Mr..
Strahan's cotton was really haul
ed to the gin Tuesday but the
gin was not ready for work,
hence the delay in marketing.
Had it not been for this delay
Mr., Strahan's cotton could have
been first on the New Orleans
market.
The first bale of the new
Louisiana cotton crop arrived IN
the New Orleans market Thurs
day. consigned to W. B. Thomp'
son & Go. 1t was nearly a mouth
late compared with last year, las
