Law on the Lake.
While in the city this week Mrs, W.
H. Francis, who, with her husband, was
detained in Union City on account of
the rain and mud, was a vinitor in this
olhce, and mentioned the fact that she
would like to borrow our .courthouse,
that they had more legal business on
hand there than we had at the county
seat, and more need for a seat of jus
tice. Mrs. Francis believes that the
laws could be better enforced around
the lake, and especially at Samburg,
than they are, and she would like to
enlist the services of a court of justice
for that purpose. Reelfoot Lake is a very
popular hunting and fishing grounds and
has been for years. There was a time
when it was as peaceable and quiet as
any other place in the county, when
residents and visitors could proceed with
their business or pastime unmolested,
but since the days of nightriding at the
lake there has been more or less dis
turbance or disregard of the law. Reel
foot Lake has attracted hundreds of
sport loving people from every part of
the United States and from many other
countries every year, and it should be
for obvious reasons better protected, not
that the officers of the law are not do
ing their duty, but that a more deter
mined effort by the courts and the offi
cers altogether is not made to effect
this result.
There will bo a time some day when
we will have better roads, perhaps a
trolley line, to the lake, "and there is
reason to believe that .it will be the
grounds for more eKtensive hotel and
park reservations and amusement fea
tures. These things are certain to come,
and the old regime of outlawry must
pass away in order to realize these
things. Therefore there are many rea
sons why law enforcement at the lake
should be as good as it is anywhere in
the county.
Last week a notice appeared in the
pipers, in which Attorney General F.
M, Thompson treats very lightly the
fact that J. C. Burdick, of this city,
holds a lease to tho fishing privileges on
the Doherty grants of Reelfoot Lake
recently conveyed by the West Tennes
see Land Company to the State. There
is absolutely no mistake about this lease
and none whatever that the West Ten
nessee Land Company made it. But
the land company conveyed its property
rights and titles, which were vested in
tho State of Tennessee, and it is not a
question of whether or not there is a
lease, but to whom Mr. Burdick may
look in protecting his leasehold. Mr.
Burdick was not a party to the sale of
the West Tennessee Land Company
land and property rights and took no
part in the transfer of the land or prop
erty rights thereto. His leaw therefore
is as good to-day as it was before the
Jand was transferred, and he is perfectly
safe in his claim for the value of his
leasjB. It is a question to be decided by
.the courts who is responsible to Mr.
JBurdick for this lease.
.Judge feverett, of Madison County,
waS a visitor in the city this week,
mingling' with our citizens and inci
dentally referring to the fact that he is
candidate for the Democratic nomi
nation tor Governor. Judge Everett is
Circuit Court Judge in his home cir
cuit, and well known as a man of abil
ity and character. He is a Democrat
and has been identified with his party
in it great struggles, at the same time
he has stood for the extension of the
State-wide laws to every city in the
Slate, and his record on the bench has
been for the rigid enforcement of the
law. Judge Everett received a very
hearty welcome here. ,.

Get Rid of the Rooster.
(By Capl. T. F. Peck. Commissioner of Agri
culture )
The poultry specialists of the Pcpart
rr.ctif Agriculture have started a cam
paign for the elimination of the rooster
among poultry flocks during the season
between May 1 and December 1. In this
connection Saturday, May 23, has been
set aside as "Rooster Day" in Tennes
see and Kentucky, when every poultry
dealer in these States has agreed to pay
the same price for roosters as they do
for hens and pullets.
Why? Because roosters running with
the hens fertilizes the eggs laid by the
hens, thus producing fertile eggi, and
it has been found that' fertile eggs are
the cause of the loss of over 40 per cent
of the eggs produced during the warm
months of June, July, August and Sep
tember in this State.
A fertile egg an egg laid by a hen
allowed to run with a rooster will be
gin to hatch at a temperature of about
70 degrees. If the weather is at sum
mer heat the life germ in the fertile egg
lives and continues to incubate until a
chicken-is batched or else a change in
temperature kills the germ and makes
a rotten ejrg. v - ,
this is -the reason why we have so
many spoiled eggs during the warm
weather. It is not necessary for the
rooster to be among the hens. Repeated
and careful experiments have proven
conclusively that a flock of hens will
lay more eggs if the roosters are not
allowed to run with them.
After the breeding season is over
either kill, sell or confine the roosters.
His presence during the warm months
means fertile eggs which mean bad
eggs and the consequent loss to the pro
ducer and consumer. Fertile eggs spoil
very quickly when subjected to the ordi
nary methods of handling on the farm
and when marketed during the hot
summer months under adverse condi
tions. Infertile eggs eggs laid by .hens
not allowed to run with the roosters-
will keep in good condition in tempera
tures which will cause fertile eggs to rot.
On May 23, "Rooster day" in Ten
nessee, the school authorities of the
cities, couuties and towns in the State
have been requested to announce
"Rooster Day" to the scholars and it is
expected that it will be observed.
It is an established fact that one out
of every four eggs laid in Tennessee
during the warm months is rotten, by
the time jt reaches the egg-buyer, and
the result is that the buyers are mak
ing -the price to the farmers accordingly.
It can be 6een the fertile eggs lower the
prices of infertile eggs.
"Kill the rooster" on and after May
23. Get rid of liim. Kill, sell or con
fine him. He spoils millions of dol
lars worth of eggs each month from
June to October. ! (
Infertile eggs hive been subjected to
a temperature of 103 degrees in an in
cubator for over two weeks and then
used in baking a cake which was eaten
by a large group of people and pro
nounced "delicious" by all. At the
poultry show held in Nashville infertile
eggs that had been in an incubator for
weeks broken on plates and handed to
several ladies present and they were
surprised by the apparent freshness of
the eggs. They said the eggs could be
used on the table.
It is. advisable to market the old hens
in the summer as soon as the second
laying season is over, continues the De
partments advice, as hens over two years
old rarely lay as many eggs as they do
in , their pullet and yearling seasons.
Keep the nests clean, provide one nest
to every four hens; gather the eggs
twice a week. Market all cockerels,
young roosters except those intended
for breeding purposes as soon as they
attain broiler size, for they will pay a
larger profit at that time than if held
until fall, when the market becomes
overcrowded.
The Department is planning a cam-
Daiiru anions the boys and girls poultry
clubs in Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia
and North and South Carolina to en
courage not only the production of a
better trrade of eggs but a more uni
form method of grading. Arrange
ments are being made to offer prizes
for the production of the best dozen
eggn, and it is expected that the State,
county or municipal officials will offer
such prizes as trips to the Pan-American
Exposition at San Francisco.
In conclusion, don't forget the date,
May 24, the day dedicated to the slaugh
ter of roosters and the saving ot mil
lions of dollars to the farmers and ponl-
trymen of the State.. Get busy with
the ax on May 23. ,
A Possible Reason.
"I don't seem to be invited to Mrs.
Wombat's house parties any more."
"Wonder why?"
"I suspect some of her servants have
reported me for unsatisfactory tipping."
Mexican Names Hard to Pronounce
Americans can't pronounce those
Mexican names. They can't do it eveD
when they know the pronunciation un
less they first exercise their tongues to
the necessary twisting. It is really as
hard to get the right pronunciation of
the Mexican names as it is to persuade
the Mexicans to be good. Some Ameri
can newspaper genius, who claims to
be familiar with these Mexican jaw
twisters, has undertaken to tell us how
to do it; and here are some of the names
of both towns and individuals:
. Huerta OO-ER-tah.
Villa VEE-yah.
Zitcittecas Zac-ah-TAY-cas.
Tamaulipas Taby-mo-LEE-pas.
Qucretaro Kay-RET-a-roh.
Jalisco Hah-LEES-co.
' Guanajuato Gwah-nah-HVAH-to.
Oaxaca Wah-HAH-kah.
Texcoco -Tes-CO-co.
' Tehuantepec Tay-WAHN-tay-pee.
Tampico Tam-TEE-co.
Torreon Tor-ray-OWN.
. Hidalgo Ee-D AH L-go.
San Luis Potosi Sahn-LOO-EES-Fo-tc-SEE.
1
Coahuila Co-a-WEE-lah.
Aguas Calientes AH-gwas Cah-Ieh-EN-tess.
'
Guerrero Gher-RARE-o.
Tlaxeala Tlas-KAH-lah.
Tuxpam TOOS-pain.
Chihuahua Chee-WAH-wah.
Some of the foregoing names are
Spanish and some are Indian. The
capitals indicate the accent. Assuming
that the pronunciation is correct, the
names given constitute a valuable lesson
for all who are interested in the stirring
affairs now going on, as it is probable
they will fall into common use in this
country. Tennessean,
