Farm and lRanch, SOUTH WESTERN REFLECTIONS. With Thanksgiving approach ing, it is pertinent to inquire how many Southwest Louisiana farm ers are prepared with fat three- 1 dollar turkey cocks to meet the demands of local epicures and those of New Orleans, Houston and Beaumont? Suppose every farmer had even one hundred fat turkeys for sale now; he wouldu't have to give his cotton away for six cents a pouund. Suppose, in addition, every farmer had a half dozen litters of six-months old pigs, eight to the litter and each pig weighing 150 pounds. With corn and cow-peas and sweet potatoes and pumkins ripe in the fields, another fifty pounds could be added within I thirty days and there would be a year's supply of breakfast and side bacon, hams, sausage, lard and head cheese, besides a considers ble surplus to bring in Christmas cash. Are you in on this ? It uot, do you consider yourself a real farmer? Still we haven't mentioned beef and dairy cattle, which no rea! farm can be without, a small bunch of sheep, and a blooded colt or two. Do you consider that you have any right to complain about hard times, if you have neglected these elementary accessories of any institution that can lay rea sonable claim to the dignity of a farm? An Active Liver MeansHealth If you want good health, a clear com plexion and freedom from Dizziness, Constipation. Biliousness, Headaches and Indigestion, takes Dr. Biug's New Life Pills. They drive out fermenting and uudige.ted foods, clear the Blood and cure Constipation. Only 25c at your druggist. -Those who raise most of their living at home have a better living than those who must buy the ordi nary necessities of life and there is more of the income left to buy those things that can not be raised on the farm. The tirst concern of the manager should be to produce food for the family, then feed for the stock, and last, but not least, crops and animals for a cash sur plus above the living and the feed. This is safe management and it is highly recommended for those who have no specialties and who are not themselves specialists. Try this kind of diversification uext year.--Farm and Ranch.

This day which is devoted to pay tributes to the dead, was ob. served this year as usual; the num. bher of people from the country was larger than ever before seen here on this occasion due to the ideal weather. The cemetery was clean and everything looked as it should be, the tokens of remembrance were elegant and profuse. Our people appreciated the im-. pyovements made by the Cemetery Improvement Society. The Rule of Three. Three things to be-brave, gen. tie and kind. Three things to love - parity, truthfulness and honor. Three think to think about-life, death and eternity. Three things to govern-temper, tongue and conduct. Three things to admire--power, gracefulness and dignity. Three things to delight in frankness, freedom and beauty. Three things to hate - cruelty, arrogance and affectation. Three things to avoid-idleness, loquacity and flippant jesting. Southwest Farmer. TAX SALES. State of Louisiana. Parish of St. Martin.
