No Extra Session.

Gov. McCreary will not call an extra
session of the legislature to pass a rev.
enue and taxation bill. Confirming the
statement made after the defeat of
the measure that he would not ask fur
Their consideration of the measure,
Gov. McCreary repeated the statement
to Speaker Claude Terrell and the
Democratic house caucus chairman,
Elwood Hamilton.
Speaker Terrell and Representative
Hamilton called on Gov. McCreary.
They suggested to him that inasmuch
as the members of this legislature
were familiar with the revenue and
taxation measure proposed by the
State Tax Commission, it would be
more likely to pass a bill than any
other legislature. Gev, McCreary said
that he would cali an extra session
for that purpose because he did not
believe the legislature would pass the
bill, when failed of passage, after so
days consideration.

suade their hens to get briskly to
work and add to the weight of the
to add to their bank account
The early Matched pullets and the.
hens that were helped through their
mott by feeding them linseed meal and
plenty Of meat scraps are the ones to
encourage and push along. If the
poultry house is not provided with at
least one open window, covered with
muslin curtain, take out window
sash and put a curtain frame in it's
place. Cover the floor with dry earth
or sand about six inches, spreading
over it six inches of straw, meadow
hay or leaves. Clean the roost daily
and sprinkle with dry earth or fine
coal ashes, but never wood ashes, as
they release the ammonia in the drop
pings.
Keep a good supply of sharp grit,
charcoal and oyster shells before the
birds constantly, and all feed must be
clean and free from sourness. Never
underfeed hens, for they never get too
fat to lay; they ,fatten because they
don't lay. A hen should have enough
to sustain her and sufficient surplus
to convert into eggs. There are two
methods of feeding-the dry and the
wet mash. For the owner of a small
flock, caring for his own birds, the
cooked mash is good. The grains
used are the same for both mixtures,
the difference being when wet mash
is ready table scraps are added and
the whole cooked by pouring on
enough boiling water TO make a nice.
crumbly mash. Then spread a sack
over the bucket and leave it to cook
for the evening meal. Dry mash is
safer where hired labor is depended
on, as there is no danger of its souring
and upsetting the birds digestion
Feed this in hoppers, where access
may be had to it all day. The follow
ing mixture is excellent for either
mash: Wheat bran, 100 pounds;
wheat middlings, 100 pounds; gluten
meal, 100 pounds; cornmeal, 100
pounds; ground oats, 100 pounds; an
imal meal, 100 pounds. For scratch
feed in the litter use: Wheat, 60
pounds; cracked corn, so pounds; -
heavy oats, 40 pounds; barley, 20
pounds; buckwheat, 10 pounds; kafir
corn, 10 pounds; coarse beef scraps,
10 pounds. This is fed in proportion
of one quart to ten birds and divided
between morning and noon feeds. Pro
vide green food daily in the shape Of
cabbage, beets, carrots or clover, cut
fine and steamed. If the poultry are
thus carefully provided and were
Matched in proper season, plenty of
eggs are on the program.

the Long Night Grind.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Frankfort, Ky.-Ninety-four bills
were passed by the Kentucky legisla-
ture of 1913.
Two of the most important bills
passed provide for the punishment of
any person making derogatory state
ments about banks or financial insti-
tutions and the Hamilton reinsurance
bill The latter measure permits the
fire insurance companies of this state
to reinsure their risks. The bill pro-

lected in counties containing third
class cities was signed and will be-
come law.
OF the bills passed 46 of them origi-
mated in the senate and 48 in the
house The bills passed formed but a
small percentage of those offered, for
members of the senate placed in the
hopper 1853 measures, while the house
members were even more eager to
hand in bills, having offred 635.
The bills which passed both houses
are as follows:

fee monthly to the amount of claims
against the institution for the preced.
ing month filed in the auditors office.
The purpose of this bill is to keep the
money in the state treasury until it
is actually required, and the auditor
is allowed one extra clerk to audit the
claims.
Senate Bill IA extends the jurisdic,
ton of magistrates and police courts,
giving the county court jurisdiction in
offenses in which the maximum SEN
tence is fifty days in jail and 800 fine,
and concurrent jurisdiction with the
circuit court in all misdemeanors.
Senate Bill 153 provides for oiling

owners on each side of the street and
city to bear the expense equally.

RIGHT Ace for Marriage.

A lively little controversy is goins
it's rounds of newspaper discussion rel
ative to the right age at which a man
should take the matrimonial plunge. A
professor in the Boston university
precipitated the controversy by SCOT
fing at the assertion that young man
at twenty was prepared for the re,
sponsibilities of marriage, declaring
with much truth that matrimony al
that tender age was generally ghast
ly and expensive joke on the father-in
law. Marriage at the best. is an ex
pertinent that should never be rashlt
undertaken. Love at first sight" is
the surest road to the divorce court
It's victims need the immediate service
of a physician much more than tina
Of a parson. The right time to marry
is when the right young man meets
the right young girl, but up to date
the wisdom of humanity has devised
no accurate test for that happy con.
junction.
