WHAT A HUNTER MAY
GET FOR ONE DOLLAR

New Orlears.-The regular hunting
5eason in Louisiana began Nov. and
will continue for three months. For
two or three weeks now sportsmen
have been oiling their guns, laying in
supplies of ammunition and food and
patching up their pirogues, but few
Of them have thought what the State,
through the Conservation Department,
offers them for the one dollar license
they pay for the privilege Of hunting.
II the sportsman takes full advantage
Of the opportunities offered him by
the department. he can not only pro.
vide food during the open season for
hts family, but for the families Of Z
number Of his friends. Stated briefly,
hs will be permitted to kill during
the three months 1888 birds, 1,l55
squirrels, five deer and an unlimited
number Of rabbits and bear. True,
the department does not guarantee
that he will got oil OF this game for
the dollar license he pays the State,
but it opens the opportunity for him
and leaves tho issue to his skill and
activity.
This Ia what he may kill during tho
90 days Of the hunting season: Rab.
bits, bears and alligators, an unlimited
number; deer, 2 q day, s a season;
squirrels, II a day; geese, day:
ducks Is; poule d'eau, gallinules and
marsh hens, rs altogether; snipe, Is;
yellow legs and plover, IL altogether;
1rkeys, 1; quail, IL. The open season
or turkeys and quail begins Nov. is.
This list does not take account Of the
outlaw animals and birds which may
be- slaughtered at any time, and which
include such sporting propositions a
tho fox, wolf, wildcat and panther.

Mt. HermOn Notes.
December 4, 1921,

December 4, 1921.
Every thing is very qniet now,
we suppose it is the calm that
precedes the storm which will
strike in full force in about twenty
days when Christmas, Santa
Claus and white lightning will
hold forth. We had hoped to see
in time when the latter would be
dethroned but it seems a far off
possibility.
A letter from Presiding Elder
Lee, of the Baton Rouge District,
Methodist church, states that the
Franklinton circuit of which Mt.
Hermon is a post will be supplied
by Rev. A. L. Mcqueen, trans.
fer from the Arkansas conference
and will soon be on hand to be-.
gin the work.
The Mt. Hermon school will
give a bonfire box supper next
Saturday night. It will be staged
in tents near the school house.
Many other features of interest
will be produced, so come to the
festal board Saturday night, for
bright eyed beauties will be there.
Come with your purse stuffed
tight and buy the box of your
lady fair. 1t Is given in the in
terest of the athletic club.

WILD TURKEYS ARE
. RAISED ON FARM

Bains, 1a.--Edward Butler Of this
place has been experimenting with
the raising Of Wild turkeys on mis-
farm, and has made report to the
Conservation Department Of the State
that this seasons hatch was good,
with no loss from disease. Such
Losses as Mr.. Butler suffered were
from the natural. enemies Of poultry,
principally the horned owl, and once
his plans to check this preying on his
flocks are developed, he anticipates no
further trouble. Mr. Butler has found
much pleasure in raising these wild
turkeys and they have caused him no
trouble. He has endeavored to raise
them under conditions analogous to
those In the wild state, which proha.
bly, accounts for the absence OF dis.
ease in his flock One OF two Of his
broods have reverted to the wild state
entirely and are rarely seen around
the farm.
Some Of the Butler Stock has been
distributed in the parishes Of West
Feliciana and East Baton Rouge, and
he has other surplus stock on hand.
Wild turkeys have been successfully
raised in different parts Of the coura.
try, but generally on 80 large a scale
that the average farmer could not
follow, and probably with consider.
able capital back Of the experiment,
most Of the propagating pens being
located on large club reserves; but
Mr.. Butler has demonstrated that the
turkeys can be raised on the average
farm. The Conservation Department
is much interested in the propagation
Of this bird, and will cooperate with
reliable persons who desire a business
which promises much pleasure and
mteeratsly profitable business.

Indications that everything was not
harmonious between Mr.. and Mrs.
Cochran were plain when Mr.. Cochran
came here from England, where he
has been living recently, and had a
private conference on September IL
with Mr.. Untermyer. While nothing
was made public regarding the nature
of their conference, the meeting be-
tween them was regarded as signifi-
cant. especially as Mr.. and Mrs. Coch-
ran have not been seen together since
he left his house in the Rue de Lu-
beck last April and went to England
and Scotland.
