EARLY MUNICIPAL PRIMARY.

Now that candidates for municipal
honOrs have begun impOrtuning the
voters of the city, speculation as to
when the democratic primary will be
held is being INDUCED in. The senti-
ment Is practically unanimous in favor
of an early primary, and it is to be
hoped that the city executive commits
tee will give due regard to the wish of
the people and, by naming an early
date for settlement Of the contest,
prevent what night be a long and acri-
mOnious campaign.
There is no good reason why this
should not be done. 1t would rebound
to the interest of the candidates as
well as to the good Of the town to have
the campaign ended as soon as possi>
Bile. AT present there is nothing but
a spirit of generous rivalry between
the asprants and their friends,
but the sooner the primary is
held and the contest settled the less
chance there will be for strife and
dscord and jealous pickering.
THE News cOmmends these refiec-
tiOns to the consideration of the exec
utive committee. Harmony among our
people is very much to be desired, and
an early primary would be one method
of promoting 1t. Name the date and
let's settle the question.

ANENT the glowing predictions of an
increase in the tax returns of the state
it is interesting to note the figures of
increases and decreases so far receiv
ed at the .comptrOller's office froU1
the counties. 1t ought to be graf
flying to the average Georgian to
feel that he is growing richer
every day, belief superinduced by
the predictions aforesaid and the smart
juggling of the tax figures by deft art>
lists IN newspaper Offices, but a careful
insight into the returns do not indi-
cate that the increase will reach any
thing in the neighbor of the
comptroller's first estimate of $4,000
600. lightweight of the one hundred
and thirty-seven counties of the state
have filed their digests, and show an
aggregate increase Of only So 900, 900.

THE CARE OF POULTRY.
Yard and Range Discussed and Some valu-
able Suggestions Made.

TO obtain the best results from poul-
try raising for eggs it is conceded that
the fowls must lie carefully watched
and every care given to them. This is
not possible when they are allowed
the free range of tic farm, nor is 1t
possible to raise fowls in this way
and obtain the high egg records heard
about, the publication of which has in
uuced more Ian one man to engage in
poultry culture only to be sorely disap-
pointed. The egg record of the aver
age barn yard fowl of no particular
breed, on the ran &c, does not average
more than ninety eggs a year, while
the yarded fowl of good breed has a
record of 1T5 or lore eggs a year. 1t
will be understood that in advocating
the yarding of fowls, growing chicks
are not included, but only those that
have been laying or nave just begun.
Before reaching this period the grow
ing chicks should have the benefit of
the free range to enable them to make
frames on which later in yards, reli-
ance is put for egg production.
1t must he remembered, however,
that yarded fowls require more and
better care than those on the range
If increased egg production is to be at
tanned. The yard should be not only
sufficiently large to give the fowls
needeu exercise, but they should con-
tain, supplied by the poultry man all
TINT the fowls would naturally find on
the range That means grains, green
food, meat, grit, water and a place to
dust and scratch. This applies to
winter treatment as well as summer.
If farmers will hut learn to observe
the actions of fowls when on the range
and be guided to a large extent by
this in treatment of them when yarded
much less trouble will be experienced.
In yarding fowls The best arrangement
is that which will permit of a double
yard with the house IN the middle. Two
such yards each $50 feet long,
permit of keeping one or the other in
green stuff from early summer until
frost by sowing oats and rye. This
green food, gathered by the hens
themselves will sLDdue all natural in
cllnation they may have for the free
range and fill the egg basket to over
flowing
