UNWIsE LEGISLATION.

A number of gentlemen were
called together last Monday to
pass resolutions against a pro-
posed bill for the taxing of Fire
Insurance Companies doing bust
ness in this State has proposed
by Mr.. Noise of New Orleans.
The experience Of the business
men Of New iberia is that all tax
es imposed on these Insurance
! Companies have to be paid by the
insured as exemplified here in the
past when this City levied H.
cense tax against them, which
they in turn made the people pay
by increasing premiums, and
which tribute is still being exact
ed by the Insurance Companies,
and Of which the people have no
redress. The following reso.u-
tions with signatures attached
were forwarded to our Represen-
tatives v. Baton Rouge urging
them to oppose the bill:
New Iberia. La. June I, 10.
To Hons. Frank Dauterive and K.
F. Derouen. Representatives of
Iberia Parish:
We. business men and firms of
New Iberia. La. have learned that
House Bill No. 80 introduced by
Mr.. Noise of New Orleans, has for
its purpose the imposition of a ten
mill tax on premiums of Fire In
surance Companies in towns hav-
ing Fire Departments and that
this tax is to maintain fund for
the benefit Of injured and dis
abled fnemen.
We call on you as our Repre-
sentatives to do all in your power
to defeat this Bill as this addi-
tional tax will in the end most
certainly have to be borne by the
assured.
1t is merely a pretense to use
the Fire Insurance Companies do
ing business in Louisiana to in
crease the indirect taxation i'm
posed on all properties and values.
It is unjust and un-American to
ask the small special class of tax
payers to support an institution
known as the fire department.
which by this means can be trans
formed into a political machine to
the detriment of the work and
duties for the performance of
which it has been created.
Trusting that the same concep-
ton of the protection of the vest
ed interests of Louisiana appeals
to your sense Of justice. honesty
and fair dealing as itdoes to ours,
we respectfully remain,
Yours truly.

THE RECLAMATION OF
MARSH LANDS.

More than one million acres of
marshland lying within fifty
miles of New Orleans are to be
drained. reclaimed and trans
formed from a wilderness into
gardens. homes, hamlets and
towns. The work Of retaining
some $4,000 acres within the cor
porate limits Of New Orleans is
now we'll underway. while con-
tracts have been let for the recla-
nation of fully 100000 acres adj
ditiona, in adjoining parishes.
This means that within two
years the alligator will no longer
find aboriginal harborage in the
Carnival City, that the breeding
grounds of countless billions of
mosquitoes will be turned into
highly productive farms on which
mosquitoes cannot breed, that hun
dreds Of miles Of paved roadways
viii. lead from New Orleans north,
east and west. and that for the
first time in it's history New Or
leans will possess suburbs
Every visitor to New Orleans
remembers the vast expense OF
unprcductive marshland that ex-
tends to the very house yards Of
the settled portions Of the City
on every side, and the landscape
view from the car window has
never been a good advertisement
for the "Gateway to the Valley
All this is now being changed Just
as fast as steam dredges and elec-
tric drainage machines can do the
work.
The corporate limits Of New Or
leans cover 165 square miles. Five
years ago the geographical center
of the city was the center of a
marsh Inhabited by aDigators and
crawfish and other crawling and
swimming things. Today hand
some homes and smooth roadways
cover it. Three years ago an
5000 acre marsh Immediately to
the eastward of the settled por-
ton of the City could not be ira
versed by man without the aid of
a pirogue. This year four crops
of vegetables are being raised on
many acres, and next year many
thrifty farmers will be growing
highly profitable food crops
thereon in great profusion. I'M
mediately beyond this tract work
has just been begun on the rec.a-
nation of more than $4,000 acres,
and provision has been made for
the opening up of more than 100
miles Of wide paved boulevards
along the shore of Lakes Pont-
chartrain and Borgue. All of
this is within the corporate limits
of New Orleans. All Of the rail
roads entering from the east pass
through these tracts. y
To the west ward. the same
character of work is being done.
and preparations are now being
made to reclaim an additional half
million acres through he construc-
ton of a wide levee along the
western shore of Lake Pontchar-
train and the southern shore of
Lake Maurepas. On the crown of
this levee. a paved roadway -
miles in length will connect New
Orleans and Baton Rouge and ul-
timately will be the Southern
terminus Of Chicago-New Or
leans highway.
The nearest town or settlement
of any consequence is now 30
mics of every other large city in
the country million or more peo-
pie reside. and many industries

SUSPENDED SENTENCE.

The bluejay has long been under
sentence of death, by verdict of the
ornithologists, as general, all
around undesirable citizen. But the
Department of Agriculture now puts
in an appearance for him, and asks
for a suspension of sentence. The
department investigators have exam
ined the viscera of 299 bluejays, and
found that rs per cent. of the birds
diet is vegetable matter and the
bulk of the remainder seems to be
made up of crickets, mice and other
nOXious insects and animals. Only
two stomachs contained the remains
of young birds, and but three the
shells of eggs-and the eating of the
young and the eggs of other birds is
the chief count against him. The
jay is a cheerful and brilliant ras-
cal, and we shall be glad to see him
liberated by the court of last resort.
And if he is, the English sparrow
will be about the only bird the farm
er can see killed without being called
upon to mourn friend. His case,
we fear, is closed.-Farm and Fire
side.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-02-03

a strong body The nests should be
kept clean and the eggs gathered
each day. Do not keep them in damp
spring-houses or musty cellars or
hot kitchens. Keep them in cool
room and cover them so that they
will not get fy-specked or dust on
them. The soiled eggs should be
cleaned with dry cloth. Do not
wash them. A washed egg quickly
spoils and breaks in shipping Do
not put pin-holes in them nor grease
them to keep from Matching. Do not
carry your eggs to market in bran,
oats, sawdust or fine hay or they will
look old. But get egg-carriers from
your buyer or the mail-order houses.
At the prevailing prices for fresh
eggs it is not profitable to fool with
holding them in pickle, salt or ISM
glass or the like fakes. But market
them at least twice each week. If
the egg-buyer in your section is slow
and out of date, do not sacrifice your
eggs by selling to him. but combine
with your neighbors and ship to
dealers familiar with the modern
methods used i'll handling eggs and
will pay for your eggs according to
their quality.-George Sixeas in
Farm News.

ADVERTISING FARM PRODUCTS.

You may not think advertising
will pay for man who lives on
farm, says Farm and Ranch. That
is because you have either never ad-
vertised or failed to advertise in the
right manner. If advertising did not
pay the advertiser, you would not
today be reading a paper that costs
the maker many times the price it
costs you. The same laws apply to
advertising farm products that apply
to other commodities. First, know
what you want to sell and why; Sec
ond, who you want to reach; third,
what medium most effectually reach
es the audience you desire; fourth,
how you will convince your audience.
These are problems every big ad-
vertiser studies, and upon his sue
cessful solutions depends his ulti-
mate prosperity. Apply it to farm
products and watch your income
grow.

THE FARM HEN.

The easiest money picked up on
the farm is eggs, and of all farm
products they are the quickest
turned into money. On most farms
they are very carelessly handled, but
to get the most money out of them,
they must be handled with care
Note the range in price on the East
ern city markets and the difference
in price is just the difference in
handling. To command the highest
price the eggs must be spotlessly
clean and newly laid To get a uni
form grade of eggs you should weed
out of your flock of hens all old and
sickly, understood and scrubby stock
and change your roosters each year.
To harden the shell so the eggs will
ship we'll the fowls should be fed oys-
ter shells occasionally, or fed a bran
mash two or three times each week.
1t matters not how good a range your
flock has they should be fed grain at
least once each day to give the eggs
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-02-03
DON'T FORGET THE WATER.

A very large percentage of an egg
is water, and the very best of feed
can not be converted into an egg
without plenty of water. And ice
water is not the best for laying hens.
Water slightly warm, with the chill
off," as we say, will be relished
much more by the fowls, and it is
best suited to the requirements of
the bird, both in sustaining comfort
and health, and in making eggs.
Be sure that the water is not
filthy, and that it is not given in
filthy vessels. Chickens will eat and
drink nearly anything, hence it has
grown into custom to give them
what nothing else will have. But
poultry-raisers have grown out of
that. Filthy water and putrid meat
is as harmful to poultry as to any
other living thing.-The Poultry
Yard.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-02-03
THE BREEDING OF TURKEYS.

One of the problems in breeding
turkeys is to keep the breeding stock
in breeding condition. A fat turkey
is poor breeder. To avoid fatten-
ing the breeding birds, and to fatten
the market birds, is difficult
achievement says Wallace's Farmer.
Mark the breeding birds with broad
bands of red flannel and keep them
away from the barnyard until the
fattening birds have eaten most of
the feed; if necessary, pen the breed
ers. Feed moderately through the
winter, giving green and animal food
and charcoal as we'll as grain. In
February reduce the feed, and by
March make them hunt their own
living. This puts them in good
breeding condition. Give them free
range and open shed for shelter, but
do not house closely.

CORN WITHOUT A COB.

And now it is an Illinois farmer
who presents the country with an
almost cobless corn. Perhaps the
time is coming when the diner
munching corn will not have to wres-
tie with the cob, and rising genera
tons will bless the man who elimi-
mated it. The new corn is described
as having each kernel growing on
the parent stem instead of adhering
to cob. The Illinois grower says
that he eliminated the cob by taking
the tip of each ear and getting only
the very top kernels, and shortly ex-
poets to evolve a perfectly cobless
corn. The agricultural college of
that State is looking after the ex-
pertinent. Of course, like all i'm
provements, there are some disap-
provers who remark: FtWhere would
be the delight of munching corn if
there were no cob on which to
sharpen the teeth ?"-National Mag
aZine.

PROMISE IN PECAN-GROWING.

Certainly the most interesting spe-
cialty in Southern horticulture at
present is the growing of peoans.
The writer had pointed out to him
recently by a thoroughly trustworthy
man a fine pecan tree in Raleigh,
n. c., which the informant said
yielded 500 worth of nuts last year.
That is, there were sold from the
tree pecans to the amount of 800,
besides supplying the family with all
the nuts they wanted for home con-
sumption. The tree stood on an or
binary city lot, and would pass all

THEY DID NOT KNOW.

Last year over H. 900 Americans,
mostly farmers from the Northwest,
moved into Canada, says the Pro-
gressive Farmer. Many of these
men would have come South instead,
we are sure, if they had known the
possibilities and advantages of the
South as farming section. 1t would
have been good for us, too, to have
