FRANKLIN. La. July 1.-THE

States evidence that DR.. Thomas
E. Dreher and Mrs. Ada Leboeuf
conspired together to murder the
womanis husband. and that the two

per. shot Leboeuf and slashed open
his body.
The grand jury will hear the con-
fessions of DR.. Dreher and Mrs.
Leboeuf to their part in the murder.
District Attorney Emile Vuillemont
had expected to be able to lay a
third confession, that of Beadle,
before the jury. but Beadle. man of
mystery. thwarted him.
Bloody Boat Found
Vui1lemont, however, announced
that ne has found a club with which
he could drive Beadle, the sullen,
obdurate, close-mouthed trapper, to
confess. His agents had found Bea-
dies tiny rowboat, the kind known
In Louisiana as a pirogue, in a
secluded bayou three miles from the
scens of the murder. The bottom
was heavily stained with blood.
Until the discovery of the blood
stained boat virtually the only evil
dence against him had been the
statements of DIR. Dreher and Mrs.
Leboauf. Even now he is faced
with only circumstantial evidence.
The defense of Dreher and Mrs,
Leboeuf, while it has not been dis
closed by State Senator Patterson,
will probably rest principally on al
legations that Leboeuf had threat
ened the lives of both his wife and
the doctor. Individually, Mrs. Le-
boeuf is expected to plead that her
husband was brutal to her, and DR..
Dreher is expected to say that Le-
boeuf was planning to carry out his
threat. Beadle will offer an alibi
and attempt to show that he was at
home on the night of the murder.

Barnyard Pavements Add
to the Value of a Farm

Permanent barnyard pavements not
only add to the appearance of farm,
they also help prevent disease in the
cattle and keep the milk clean. These
pavements can be easily constructed
by the farmer himself.
The ground must first of all be lev
efed off, Forms for the concrete are
inches wide (Which will be the thick
ness of the f1oor). The top of the
forms are set to such a grade that
slope of one-fourth inch a foot across
the floor will be secured 4or proper
drainage.
The forms are built to provide for
slabs not more than ten feet square. A
good plan is to lay the alternate slabs
first and the intermediate ones later.
The concrete for pavements con.
tains five and one-half gallons of wa
ter to the sack of cement. If the sand
and pebbles used are moist, add only
four and one-half gallons, as the extra
gallon will be contained in these ma
terials. Wet sand and pebbles require
only three and three-fourths gallons Of
water.
Use enough sand and pebbles to Sc
cure a concrete that is workable, but
not sloppy. Ordinarily two cubic feet
of sand and three of pebbles to each
sack of cement will give the right mix
ture. If this mixture is too dry or too
SLOPPY" vary it to meet the exact
needs.
After the concrete has been placed,
it is finished with a wood float. This
finishing gives the pavement gritty
surface on which the cattle will not
slip.
A bottomless box holding one cubic
foot, two cubic feet, or any given
amount, is frequently used in measur-
ing the sand and stone used in max
ing concrete. The box is set on the
mixing floor, filled to the top, and
then lifted, the materials remaining on
the floor.

Collaborating operations In Craig
county, Virginia, are now on a 100 per
cent pure-bred bull basis following a
systematic and aggressive campaign to
eradicate the scrubs and grades. A
cattle survey made IL years ago re-
vealed that the county had no pure
bred bulls whatever. The subsequent
rise from 0 to 100 per cent is largely
the result of systematic extension
work and a progressive sentiment for
better live stock by farmers of the
county.
All Registered Pure BREEDS.
An official count on October 26
showed the county to contain Al pure
bred bulls, all of which are registered.
The final check-up was conducted by
w. o. Martin, county agent; L. l. Case,
animal husbandman of the state ex-
tension division, and D. S. Burch of
the bureau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.

Craig county is the second in the
United States and the first in Virginia
to eradicate all scrub and grade bulls
The first county to reach that goal
was Union county, Kentucky, which
disposed of its last inferior bulls early
IN 1926.
Industry Diversified.
Although Craig county is scarcely
half the size of the average county in
the state, it's activities in livestock
production cover all the principal
classes of animals, including sheep,
swine, horses, goats and poultry in adj
dition to cattle. The production of
lambs is an important industry. rival
ing cattle raising. Turkey produc.
ton is likewise prominent feature of
the county's agriculture.
Other counties in the state have
been striving for the same pure bred
sire goal under systematic agricultural
programs developed by county agents
in consultation with county advisory
boards composed of leading farmers.
This activity is sponsored by the state
extension service, of which ]. r.
Hutchinson is director. Under this
plan several counties are gradually
eradicating scrub and grade sires of
all kinds and replacing them with
pure breds.
Much of the success of Craig county
in Graduating scrub and grade bulls
is attributed by County Agent Martin
to the good market prices received
for young stock sired by pure-bred
bulls used in recent years. One breed
er stated that his pure-bred bull, cost
ing less than $3.50, had already sired

To Prevent Setback

New calves are coming rapidly. A
setback on fall calves is bad business.
They need every boost possible. One
way of preventing a possible stand
still in their development is to disin-
feet their navels shortly after they
are born. The next time in town stop
in at the corner drug store or wher-
ever it is and get couple of ounces
of tincture of iodine and some pow
dered boracic acid. Paint the navels
of young calves with iodine and dust
on some Of the boracic acid powder.
OF course, one will give calves clean

Gasoline Substitute

An alcohol mixture said to be
capable of replacing gasoline in en-
gines of automobiles, and possibly of
airplanes, has been developed by the
Warsaw Polytechnic institute and is
attracting much attention in Poland.
1t is said that required adjustments in
the engine for use of the mixture are
slight, and in many ways the new
liquid is superior to gasoline. No
alcohol fit for beverage purposes can
be separated from the mixture, even
by fractional distillation. AS the price
Of each of the ingredients, except
ether and benzol, is less than that of
gasoline, the mixture could be made
cheaper than gasoline, it is claimed
by the institute.
