LOUISIANA WANTS
THE EXPOSITION

Baton Rouge, La, August H.-When
Louisiana general assembly convened to-
day in special session for the purpose Of
giving further aid to the New Orleans
Panama Exposition company, Senator
Loque of the parish of Orleans was
among the absentees in the upper house.
and Lieutenant Governor Iambremont
was in receipt of communication from
Senator Loque stating that he did not
recognize the call of Governor Sanders
for an extra session.
Senator Loque bases his action on the
ground of Governor Sanders election to
sion of the legislature. He says that on
the day of his election he became one of
Louisianas two representatives in the
Senate at Washington and ceased to be
governor. He says that Sanders has no
legal right to retain his hold on the Of
fee of the states chief executive; that 1T
is also contrary to the promise Sanders
made to the legislature. and that any
acts passed at this session will be de-
clared unconstitutional.
1t is now considered by the executive
committee of the Worlds Panama Ex-
position company that a proposed consti-
tutional amendment be submitted to
voters of the state providing for bond
issue of $6,5OO,0oo, pledging the tax of
$4,0oo 900 as originally proposed and an
additional tax of s2,5Oo.0o0 from the city
of New Orleans, to be levied and col
lected only after the proposed tax OF
a. 900 900 has 1apsed.
The bond issue. 1t is declared, would
substantially insure the raising of the
larger sum desired, but, with increasing
property assessments in New Orleans
might call for only light taxation in the
city.
The only other features embodied IN
the governors call are of minor conse-
uuence, appertaining principally to the
assistance of the attorney generals Office

Why They DON'T Lay.

Many who keep hens are asking
themselves Just about now why their
pullets don't lay, when the fact is
that a lot Of their young stock was
hatched too late, or was not given
proper food and care during growth.
The size and general appearance Of a
puIlet does not always denote the time
when she should commence producing
eggs. have seen focks OF pretty big
nice puIlets and they would lay hardly
an egg all winter. The first essential
for winter eggs is the right kind OF
stock TO produce them. Food will not
supply that want; 1t may help soSne
and IN some instances it's pretty diff
cult to help the matter very much by
giving extra care. The strain has got
to be OF the night sort If they prove
themselves reliable and profitable lay
erB. After being in the poultry bust
ness 30 long and seeing so many peo-
pie russ and experiment and work in
the effort to get eggs from stock that
had no eggs 10 lay. no inclination TO
make eggs or ability to commence TO
get ready 10 lay. 1t rs impressed ell
the stronger upon my mind that there
Is a whole lot TO this hen business be
sides feed and oare.-Inland Farmer,
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-10-12
Duck Feathers.

The feathers Of ducks are their cov-
ering and protection, which should
admonish farmers not to pluck them
during cold spell, or in winter. It
costs something to produce feathers,
as they are grown only from the most
nourishing foods. Ducks that are in
poor condition or that are not well
covered with feathers, should not be
piucked.
The rule Is to pluck the feather
when they are ripe" which may be
known or by testing a few from the
breast, the ripe feathers having no
blood or colored fluids in the ends Of
the feathers. When in good condi-
ton some ducks will produce feath-
ers every six weeks, or even more fre-
quently, much depending upon the
food.
The feathers of the Pekin and Ay-
lesbury ducks, being white, are nearly
equal TO those OF the goose, and as
both kinds are large OF size, the feath-
ers are an important part OF the profit.
The common puddle duck, however, is
OF but little value compared with the
pure breeds. The Aylesbury, Rouen,
and Pekin ducks not only give a fair
proportion Of feathers, but also pro-
duce large and desirable carcasses.
The feathers may be steamed, and
then sun dried, but some experience
is necessary TO properly dry them for
market
