The citizens Of Louisiana will vote
in November upon amendments to the
State Constitution, one OF which pro
poses to reduce the Governors salary
10 $1,000 per annum. And here is
Tennessee, a State largely more popu-
lous .han Louisiana, that allows it's
Governor only half of $1,000. Con
sidering the necessary expense which
is devolved upon the Governor, we do
think he ought to have his salary
doubled, and "A "Governors mansion

cost. The fact is, no Governor Of
Tennessee can make any money out Of

IHatSs0 Poultry.

How 70 mate our poultry to secure the
best resalts is question Of interest to ey-
cry one, whether interested in the business
for fancy" or not There are few rules
which should be retained by all breeders,
as the observance Of them would increase
the ratio of profit by enlarging the size
and increasing the production OF eggs.
1t a greater supply Of eggs Is the result
desired, then in mating the hens for eggs
for Matching, this rule should be closely
adhered to Select the best laying hens
or hen in the flock and mate her, or them,
with cock from egg producing hens and
you will, IN their chicks, secure hens that
will give an increased number Of eggs.
This rule followed year after year will free
the yard of hens inclined to sit.
II size and market value Is the object
sought for, then select as breeding hens
large, square bodied birds, yellow IN leg,
with good breadth as well as length Of
body, and mate with them a broad bodied,
full breasted short legged cock, and in-
creased weight will be the result.
Nothing has been said about variety as
this article is not written to advance the
interests Of any breeder, but the rules
suggested will be found to be helps, no
matter what the variety unless fancy teath-
ering be the object sought for, when there
comes In, in addition to those suggestions
the proper mating, in order to improve
color. The color Of the legs Of al mark
ct poultry should be yellow, IN order to
realize the highest market price.
We believe that jadiciOus following
OF these suggestions would materially III
crease the egg producing qualities Of our
hOcks and largely increase their size, add
ing the flesh where il would have greatest
value, that Is on the breast and sides Of
the breast bone
