of an Immediate Adjournment.

Denver, Col, Jan. 20.-The extra ses-
sion of the ninth general assembly of
Colorado organized at noon to-day. with
the same officers as at the regular session.
The joint session was promptly called,
and the governor occupied two hours in
reading his message, outlining his reasons
for some of the propositions made in his
call.
Following the reading, the Senate, by a
vote of u to II, declined to print the mes
sage, and placed the matter in the hands
of nine members, to report at 80 o'clock
tomorrow. The complexion of this COM
mittee indicates that the report will de-
clare for an immediate adjournment,
without further action, and this report
will probably be adopted.

TAXATION OF INCOMES.
Lack of a Quorum the Most Serious
Menace to the Bill.

h0haO6 W bA1C Dill
Washington, Jan. 10.-The income tax
bill was laid before the democratic mem
bers of the ways and means committee
this morning. 1t was not read.
Representative Tucker, of Virginia,
has been canvassing the situation in the
House, with view to determining the
proposition when it comes to
vote. The conclusion is that the
vote will be very close. He figures that 100
democrats, nine populists and six repub-
licans will support the proposition. This
will give the advocates of an income tax
about IT'S votes. Mr. Tuckeri is of the opin-
ion that the republicans and the demo-
cratic opponents of the income tax, if they
cannot secure a voting majority, will insist
upon a quorum of the advocates of the
proposition, and here he thinks the chief
danger lies.

GOVERNOR BOB TAYLOR
And His Fiddle and the Bow.

It is with great pleasure that The
PROGRESS announces to it's readers
that Ex-Governor Robert L. Taylor
of Tennessee, will deliver his highly
lauded lecture "The Fiddle and the
Bow" at the Grand opera house in
Shreveport next Tuesday
70 those who may not have heard
this great orator, lecturer, statesman
and Christian when he was here some
weeks ago and treated his audience
to The Paradise of Fools" we desire
TO state that it will repay any one
who has intellect and taste for such
entertainments, to spend an hour or
two (the latter would be preferable)
listening to Bob Tayler We heard
3 gentleman, who is competent to
Judge, say that he had heard Henry
Ward Beecher, Robert Ingersoll aud
Rev. DR.. Talmage, but that Gov. lay
lor was the superior of the three.
This is certainly strong indorse-
ment and should teach our people
that they may be assured of an enter
tainment that is indeed worthy Of the
name.
Those who heard The Paradise of
Fools" we're absolutely enthusiastic,
and many were clamourous for the
lecturers return, and in the eally
morning of the following day, some
urged Mr.. Carter to telegraph the
gentleman aud secure, if possible, an
early date with him.
We hope to see the opera house
full Tue. day night, and, to our minds, |
It will be a reflection on Shreyeport's |
appreciation Of intellectual enjoy
neht, not to say her intelligence
self, if this is not so.

SWINE AND THE DAIRY.

Porkers are as closely allied to the
dairy as they are to the corn CRIB.
Nothing SO delights piggish heart
as regular diet of dairy leavings.
On skinned milk, buttering whey.
and the run of a clover pasture, a
well-bred young pig will grow rapid
ly; but even ia this case little corn
meal could be fed with decided econ
omy and advantage, the corn restor-
ing the fat-forming materials which
have been removed in the butter
making. Attention should be given
to frequently wash out the trough
wherein dairy swill is fed to the hogs;
also, that the swll shall not have
greatly fermented. In fact, If the
swill can be fed while it is still sweet
SO much the better. The effect Of
fermentation is to turn the milk-su
gar into Tactic acid. The one is a
food, and nutritive; the other, an acid
which may OF may not be wholesome
according to conditions, and how it
IS used. The man who keeps ten
COWS can fatten twenty hogs in sum-
mer and fifteen in winter, from what
would otherwise be waste, and he
will find that this branch of business
will bring him considerable money.

A recent bulletin of the Texas
agricultural experiment station says
that the Vineless Bunch yam and the
Early Bunch yam are one and the
same variety; that it origi mated in
Mississippi in 1884. and that it is
probably a sport of the old fashioned
yam. As to the value of the new va
rlety, the following testimony is
given: The Vineless is beyond:ques-
ton a great acquisition in sweet po-
tatoes, 1t has short, stubby vine,
which seldom grows over two and a
half feet long. 1t can be planted
closer in the rows, cultivated and

ties. The tubers grow in bunch

and ranked second in yield. The
table quality ranked equal to the
best when dug, 1t produces slips
abundantly. The tubers are smooth
and rather above the medium size.
In regard to the value of aweet DO
tato vines the bulletin says: Farm
ers usually allow the tops to decay
on the ground. They make an i'm
portsnt feed for stock. and especially
for dairy cattle. This is trne in par
