March and April Are the ner Months for Hatching. the banner of chicks to upment, Understood Governor Will Em body Request in First Message. Levy Has Many Friends. By JAMES B. NEVIN. Now that the income tax amend ment to the Federal Constitution has i.een ratified by the necessary num ber of States to make it effective, and Georgia, therefore, is estopped from turning in that direction in future efforts to increase its income, there are encouraging signs a-plenty that ,,n inheritance tax may be placed upon the statute books by the next i legislature. Governor Slaton, it is understood, will advocate such a measure in his first message to the General Assem bly, and already there are members- elect who are outskopenly committed to the idea. Advocates of this form of taxation declare that it is, of all taxes, the easiest to collect, and that its collec tion seemingly is attended with a nitiitfnum of friction and ill-feeling. The person inheriting, so students of the inheritance tax theory aver, rarely objects to the payment of the duty imposed upon the inheritance, and many times they freely admit and acknowledge its justness. Such a claim can not he made in behalf of the income tax, of course, for its col lection frequently is the source of much vexation and annoyance. Nearly all European countries have have an inheritance tax of one sort «.r another on their statute books, and wherever such a tax has been inau gurated it never has been abandoned. It invariably has proven to be a fine source of revenue. It is expected that Mr. Slaton will deal at length with the inheritance tax in his forthcoming message, en tering into more or less elaborate de tails as to its equitable features and great possibilities as an income pro ducer. The prospective appointment of Thomas G. Scott, of Monroe County, to be Federal Statiscian for Geor gia in succession the late Governor \V. J. Northen, which has been an nounced by Secretary of Agriculture Houston, apparently gives great sat isfaction throughout the State. In this position it will be the duty of Mr. Scott to tabulate and consoli date the reports received from the '•nrious correspondents over the State ami to keep the Government at Wash ington apprized of the acreage in the various crops, the weather condi tions. the crop conditions and the pre vailing prices; in short, to give the Government authentic reports of the condition of the farming interests of Georgia. . Mr. Scott was formerly president of the Sixth District Agricultural Col lege, stationed at Bartlesville, but sev- “nl years ago resigned to devote his time to is farm. On this farm he uses e latest improved machinery and He is regarded by agricultural ex- most scientific methods exclusively, perts as one of the most successful exponents of intensive farming in this section. The appointment comes to Mr. Scott largely as a recognition of his merit, for, although he was high rec ommended for the place, it is under stood that he made no efforts to land Says The Macon News: “Hon. John T. Allen Representative in the Leg islature from Baldwin County, and a candidate for Speaker of the House, j is in Macon to-day. Mr. Allen is confident that he will be chosen Sheaper, although Representative J. Randolph Anderson, of Chatham County, has already claimed the of fice.” All of which is interesting enough and very much to the point, except for the facts that Judge Allen is a Senator-elect and not a Representa tive-elect, as is Mr. Anderson, and • ach is a candidate for the Presidency of the Senate and not the Speakership of the House. The latter job, Mr. Burwell, of Han- • >ck. appears to have securely nailed down Miss Emma <\ Wilkins, of Savan nah, who has been selected to paint the portrait of Captain John McIntosh Kell, authorized by the last Legisla ture, is trying to secure a photograph of the famous old sea fighter in his form, as she presumes the State authorities will prefer that her paint ing represent him in that garb. He was the exceutive officer in « harge of the Confederate frigate Alabama’* when that celebrated craft was sunk off the coast of France by the Kearsarge.” * Hon. Martin V. Calvin, of Rich mond County, who Retires from the management of the State Experiment Station in Griffin on July 1, has hacf a long and distinguished career in the public service of Georgia. For something like twenty years represented Richmond in the H'nise, and enjoyed the distinction through many session of Vicing the dean of the General Assembly. For •session after session, indeed, Mr. Cal vin was a flowing fountain of infor mation on precedent and custom in the Legislature. During all of his career in the Leg islature he was know as a man of conservative trend of thought, and always was ranked as safe and sane in his voting. He expects to return to Richmond County, there to spend the remainder "f his life as a private citizen. With him, undoubtedly, will go the good wishes and assured appreciation of very many of his fellow Georgians. Inquiry has been made of the Swiss Government, so the story in Wash ington goes, whether Pleasant A. Stovall, of Georgia, will be persona srata in that country as “Uncle Sam’s” duly accredited MiniSt^r. So soon as favorable response is re ceived, which is confidently antici pated, the President will send the Savannahan’s appointment to the 1 nited States Senate for confirms- March and April are months for the hatching make good growth and i The weather is usually ideal, so that i the newly hatched chicks start right o ff in good shape, provided, however, that they are produced by hens that are or were in the pink of condition when the eggs were formed. This is more essential than is generally con sidered by the average person who has not stopped to consider the whys and wherefores of the matter. We have weakly chicks and we do not stop *o consider that it is perhaps due to the fact that our hens have been forced i » the limit for the production of eggs ill through the fall and winter. Not onlv have they been given all the rich grain ftiods that we could furnish them or induce them to take, but they have been urged on by all kinds of stimulating egg-producers and health giving condiments we could find or T HE three daughters of J. Pierpont Morgan, each of whom will receive $-3X00,000, according to their father s will. Miss Anne Morgan is shown at the top, Mrs. William Pierson Hamilton to the left, and below Mrs. Herbert Satterlee. which were recommended by any of our friends or neighbors. While these things tend to brighten up the hen for the time being, they soon loose their effect, and then the reaction or a weakness takes place. Healthy Chicks. The eggs laid during the early part of this laying season would no doubt give us good, strong, healthy chicks, but as the vitality of the hen wanes her progeny suffers accordingly. True, it looks like the best thing to do to get all the eggs we can front our hens when fhe eggs are at their highest prices, hut we should i}ot expect this same hen to be the mother of our flock of chickens at the tail end of the egg season. Another source of weak chicks is the lack of green stuff eaten by the hens. The egg is such a large per cent water tihat she needs to eat all kinds of good greens in order that she may be prepared to give us t H * * proper kind of an egg, one that is full of life- giving properties; then there will be but little trouble with the chicks. Many a backyard breeder in his fiist year will, as a means of economy, breed brothers and sisters together. Fur example, he last year purchased a setting of eggs from a breeder, raised a few good pullets and some cockerels and instead of getting rid of the cock erels and buying something in the way of a male that -is no relation to his pullets he uses what he has. whien is prettv close inbreeding. This is especially true when so much of th stock we buy is from fowls that arc already inbred more or less in order to secure liner points for the shoa room. , .. Crowding the yards and houses and the mating of too many females with one male are common causes of weak ness ’n the voung stock. Let us avoid and get away from these seepiing methods of economy. Ordinary or« autions along the linea I have indicated will do more toward success with the chicks produced th-tri will thevcoddling and doctoring one rail do for them if they are not healthy when hatched.

April IS, 1013. < 'omrade^TTht National Maine monument, which in its first con ception was to commemorate the heroism of the comrades who met death in the ill-fated Maine, but which was subsequently enlarged j «nd beautified and built to com memorate the valor and courage and herism of all ot our com rades who lost their lives in one of the shortest but most decisive wars of modern times, is one of the finest and most beautiful monuments in our country. This monument is built at the southwe.=t entrance to Central P.yk. in New York City, which is \ie gateway to our nation. The committee began work with $143,000 in hand, and it needs $40,000 to complete the work and build approaches and walks, and it makes this appeal to camps and comrades and to all patrioti cally inclined to make a contri bution to this beautiful and sa cred cause.
