TWO-YEAR-OLD PIG
WEIGHS 781 lbs. DRESSED

Elmer Steingass, of York tip. killed
what is claimed to be the record pig
of Medina county this week. It was
a Chester White, 2 years -sdd last Sep
tember, and weighed, dressed, 1S1
pounds. So far no record has been
found of heavier pig ever killed in
the county.
The pig is on exhibition in the
window Of Steingass & Bradway's,
and will not be cut until the first OF
next week. 1t is well worth trip
to town to see this mammoth. The
father Of the Steingass boys was al
ways noted for his big hogs, but it
now looks as if his son Elmer had
"him tied to the post"

PROMINENT MERCHANT RETlRES.

A deal was consumated this week
whereby the interest of Mr.. Louis
Pfister in the Pfster Brothers Jew elry
Company passes into other hands.
No radical change in the policy OF
the business is anticipated. as the
new members of the firm who took
over Mr.. Pfister's interest, are Messrs.
Harvey Hill. Albert Hill and Julius
Maier, all of whom have been con-
nected with this concern for a long
period of time, totaling As years for
the three of them.
Several weeks ago Messrs. Harvey
and Albert Hill had opened pegotia-
tons for the purchase of a jewelry
store in Lafayette, but allowed that
deal to fall through in order to re-
main here. Their purchase, together
with Mr.. Maier, of half interest in
Pfster Brothers. will insure to New
Iberia that these three sterling young
citizens will remain in business here,
which will be source of great salts
faction to their countless friends.

THE PROVINCE Of A NEWSPAPER
ON MATTERS OF PUBLIC POLICY.

4 faw months ago when the famous million dollar
libel suit Henry Ford The Chicago Tribune was being
tried the Supreme Court Judge summarizing the case
fxed the status of newspaper its rights and privileges
He said "a newspaper has the right OF expressing It's
opinion as has any individual citizen more and no less
There are two departments in we'll regulated neWspa-
ner the news section and the editorial section For the
sake of the reading public these departments should be
kept clearly defined and distinctly separated by those IN

bound to give full and unbiased account of news item
whether it meets the private liking of the editor or not
The editorial columns should be kept free OF news

These remarks entered here to explain our policy
on the matter of the location Of the High School Building
We have been approached by various individuals and

The answer is this.

We fully realize do they that it is humanity impossible

that will not be loudly objected to by some
We furthermore confidently believe that these gentle

genuine Hereford According to Mr..
Queensberry foreign animals do not
thrive in this climate but by this
crossing method animals are improv
ed and thrive on the food incidental
to their immediate environment. 1t
looks like it is more than worth
while.
In one inclosure there was Bra
ma bull. The animal is sort of
curiosity, flaps its long ears like a
genuine Missouri mule and looks
somewhat like circus animal.
This fellow is a vicious animal but
a most docile looking brute, showing
that appearances are sometimes
most deceiving.
In another compartment a lot OF
brood mares are kept. Here young
mules are raised as per the specifi-
cations of Uncle Sam and they are a
husky lot, looking very much like
the Missouri product with the same
proclivity to buck, rear and be stub
born.
The hog pens are another revela-
ton. Here a number of brood sows
were quartered with filters of little
pigs. The Duroc Jersey hogs ma

ture quickly, are easily raised and
the boars weigh from 450 to 500
pounds each and the sows from $50
to 300 pounds each.
Native sows are crossed with these
monster boars and bred up. The
little pigs are sold to enterprising
farmers who are anxious to better
their stock. Other pigs are sent to
Fort Worth to market.
After carefully inspecting these hogs
the writer was thoroughly convinced
as to where one big packing house
ACQUIRES the Ham what ann
In several other pens Enclosures
there were a number CT Jersey COWS
in another young bulls and in still
another young cows not yet fresh.
In one pen there was incarcerated
one of the most magnificent speci-
mems of a gentleman Jersey cow one
would care to own. This chap has
a ring in his nose and same is fast
ened to small chain which IN turn
is connected with a wire stretched a
cross the enclosure. He is lazy
brute, so the writer was Informed,
and in this way he was made to take
exercise, so that he might not get
overfat and be of little service.
In another enclosure number OF
Jersey calves were installed. They
had lust been de-horned, as Mr..
Queensberry put it, and were IN a
playful mood. This de-horning pro
cess deprives them of their horns,
which are their natural weapons OF
defense, so that they may not fight
and otherwise injure each other.
The Jersey cows at the station
must be able to give 365 pounds OF
butter from their milk per year in
order to receive the official register.
There are several at the plant that
give over 400 pounds and there is
no guess work about it.
Having viewed all the animals
the writer was taken into the milk

inging station, where the milk is
taken from the COW and tested as 70
poundale, weight, etc. Here everv-
thing was as clean and as spick and
span as soap and water could make
it and germs are an unknown GUAM
tity in this plant.
The farm owns its own pneumatic
pumping station, which Supplies wa
ter to the entire form and there is
a storage battery system for electric
lights, which are furnished in all the
barns, stalls, and incidentally, the
cottages of the employees, which Mr.
Queensberry insisted on calling
quarters Each family is suppli-
ed with cottage and the homes al
so are kept as neat as the pr0verba
pin all because Of the process in
culcated in their minds of exactness
and cleanliness. Cleanliness. by the
way, is the watchword Of the entire
establishment and even the manure
is not allowed to collect, the same
being used for fertilizer for grow
ing the crops.
There are also eight silos of 100
ton capacity each on the plant.
Corn silage, Soy bean, Egyptian
wheat, Sorghum cane, japanese cane
etc, are stored in these immense
silos. In another receptacle COW pea
hay and molasses are kept. This is
fed to the dairy cows for milk pro-
ducing.
The writer left with the firm I'M
preston that scientific cattle rails
ing is an art, one which would more
than pay the producer to carefully
study and emulate.
According to Mr.. Queensberry the
annual Beef Cattle Day" will be
staged at the farm ON Saturday,
March 27, and the farmers through
out the State have been invited to
attend the event, which promises to
be one of the largest of its charact-
er ever held in Louisiana.

UNITED FIBRE AND B1-PRoDUCT
co. OF BALTIMORE TO BRlNG
OLD PLANT TO LIFE.
ANOTHER PAY ROLL FOR IBERIA

William T. Larkin, president OF
the United Fibre and Products com
panv. of Baltimore, Maryland, has
lust entered into an agreement to pur-
chase the Sugar cane and By-Pro-
ducts mill situated on East Main
Street on the lines of the NJ. l.. and
T. Railroad, and the plant will be
in actual operation before a few more
months have passed into history, &C.
cording to Frank Noel, Manager OF
the New Iberia Chamber of Commerce
who has been in communication Tor
some time with Mr.. Larkin relative
to the establishment of this IN
dustry.
The agreement of sale, between
Mary B. Nicol, ct al present owners,
and William T. Larkin was recently
received by Mr.. Noel and same have
been recorded in the office OF the
Parish Recorder, Marcus DeBlanc
officially making the record.
Mr.. Larkin has just informed Mr..
Noel that within short time the
new concern will begin shipping adj
ditional paper making machinery,
which will be installed in the old
plant, which has been on the idle list
for quite lengthy period. This will
add a bit of new life to the industries
of New Iberia, meaning not only an
additional payroll to the city but
much advertisement to the City and
community, owing to the fact that
the United Fibre Company will ship
its products to virtually every corner
If the globe.
One thing certain - New Iberia
cannot get too many pay rolls in
the city and it is hoped that through
the efforts of the Chamber of Com
merce several other industries will
locate in our city and make it the
thriving center it should be.
