Who doesn't like chicken? The man,
woman or child who will answer in
the negative has probably not been
born. If you like chicken and have the
space on which to raise few, and
much room isn't required under some
systems, you will be interested in the
great poultry show that is to be one OF
the chief features of the Louisiana
State Fair, which is to last through
ten days this year, November to IL,
Inclusive The whole fair is to be
one of the best ever held in the South
and as much time is being given and
as much money spent on the poultry
exhibits in proportion to their great
ness, and they are to be great, too, as
any others at the fair.
The new poultry building at the fair
grounds is 40 feet long and 38 feet
wide It is one of the best for the
purpose of showing poultry that could
have been erected, having many win.

emily without crowding and without
any fear whatever of disease.
Over $1,000 has been put up as prem.
iums for this show ranging from So fot
the first individual bird to SIS for the
best pen. Last year at the fair the
exhibit was conceded to be one of the
best ever held in the South, there be.
ing over 1900 birds shown. This year
it will be larger and competition will
be more rife among the owners of fine
chickens than ever before.
One of the novel features of the ex.
hibits will be incubators and breeders
that are constantly in operation, thus
giving those attending opportunitiei
to see incubation and brooding in all
of their stages and affording chance
for many fanciers to pick up new ideas
that will be of great value in the
Matching and raising of their chickens,
Competition will be open to all, no

no restriction placed on the number
of birds each individual may show. All

ECONOMICAL FEEDING
OF DAIRY CATTLE
Ration to Be Fed Depends
Largely on MIX Production.

To make the dairy profitable with
feedstuffs at present prices, the herd
has to be one in which every animal
shows a good milk test and responds
automatically, SO to speak, to good
feeding. The farmer can determine
their qualifications as milk producers
by use Of the scales and Babcock test.
When it comes to feed he should do
some careful figuring on what to feed
and how much Nature has provided
that the cow supply herself first and
the milk bucket second. True, some
high bred dairy animals win keep up
their milk flow for time by depicting
their own bodies, but that means Sc
rious injury to them. Experiments
show that normally about 60 per cent
of the food which COW can eat goes
for the maintenance of the body. The
other 40 per cent finds its way into
the milk pail. The COW is, therefore,
entitled to all she can eat and digest
properly.
To feed her economically, no dairy
man can say feed each COW SO many
pounds of grain and so many pounds
of roughage. The amount of each feed
depends largely upon the fiow Of milk.
a COW giving large flow Of milk re-
quires more feed than one giving less.
Here is where good Judgment is above
par. Otter the COW owner has more
grain than roughage or he may be
short on grain and long on roughage.
He will need to make a close study
Of the balanced ration to put profit in
the pail.
Sometimes We get the idea that the
more COW eats the more milk she
will give. If she assimilates all she
eats that is fact. but there is such
thing as overriding the matter, so
that the excess of feed viii be an ac-
tua1 hindrance to the production Of
milk. What we want to do is to feed
the COW all she win turn to advantage
and no more. Clean hangers will
tell the story as rule. Anything left
over is a pretty good sign that we are
feeding TOO much of some things

Supply Fodder Early to Calves.

Young dairy calves and, indeed, all
calves-should be given good folders
early. 1t is important that these
should be given to them early, so that
the proper distension of the paunch
may take place in due order If it does
not the capacity to take food becomes
limited. Even with calves of the beef
breeds the tendency is in the direction
Of giving too little attention to this
matter. The free feeding of meal to
calves makes flesh in good form, but
it does not distend the stomach.

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION.

The Government by Commission
which is to be inaugurated about the
middle of next month, will be put TO the
test and to make it success will re-
quire the most thorough application OF
economy, practiced on sound business
principles.
Already there are predictions of fail
ure by men who still cling to the system
of mayor and fifteen councilmen and
who may covertly contribute their IN
fiuence to the discredit of the commits
sion system, but all these may be con-
founded if the commissioners shall be
guided with the sole aim and purpose
of achieving success.
It is a fact long since recognized by
the Caucasian that officials, that is, men
vested with authority, are rather senSl-
tive even to honest criticism and ire
quently indulge a personal resentment
for whatever suggestion may b. offered
with the best intent and good will. This
should not be, since candid, fair and
honest criticism should be invited and
accepted in the spirit in which it is ten
dered.
If the Caucasian did not have at heart
the success of the Government by Com
mission it would not seriously care II
the system were dissolved in short or
der. but in no sense personal the Gait
casian might say that it is responsible
to a greater degree for the. progress OF
the Government by Commission to date.
And in referring to the Government
by Commission the Caucasian occupies
the position where it expects no ia ors
from the commissioners, although 1t
will admit that it did urge the claims of
an old Confederate soldier for minor
position which has been ignored.
However, this is trifle; one of the
many disappointments experienced IN
life which shall by no means restrain 1t
in its ardor and its loyalty. Indeed it
is not too bold an assertion to say that
the Government by Commission per-
haps would have failed in its realization
had the editor of the Caucasian not
given his personal attention and his
time and some of his money in assisting
Hon. Leon R. Smith in carrying out, I'M
known to the public, many of the de-
tails which if neglected would have
proven to be disastrous. And it was the
Caucasian who for eighteen months
past has been an untiring and unfaltering
advocate CT this desirable substitute for
an old system, mayor and fifteen
councilmen, which is not responsive to
the needs of city progressing as
Shreveport.
In face of its position the Caucasian
will view with concern the progress of
the new system, and while it may not
agree and may not approve all that may
be done, it will stand for the Commits
sion Form and will contribute its full
est influence towards its success which,
we repeat, is dependent on the most
economical administration of the city's
affirs. consistent with sound business
principles.
