On reviewing the County Treasurer
Tax Notice, which we elsewhere pub
lish, it will be seen that the School
Tax in some districts is increased; this
is owing to new buildings having been
built, improvements, &c. Many new
towns were organized, and the pur-
chase of books, blanks, and other Incl
dental expenses incurred, will have to
be paid, consequently the tax is some
what heavier than heretofore. The
County tax, however, is less per cent.
than last year. The State Board of
Equalization increased the valuation of
lands, out side of towns, 25 per cent.
The object the County Commissioners
had in view in placing the County Tax
at the present rate, was to draw in and
pay up outstanding vouchers, and thus
bring county orders to par. We hope
this will be accomplished, as it will ef-
feet great saving to the county in
many ways which it is hardly necessary
to mention, as it is after all but simple
question Of bargain and sale; if the
County pays for purchases in cash, we
get cash pricesj if we pay in paper
worth only 85 per cent ofits face value,
we pay just Is per cent. more than the
article is worth for cash.

The citizens of both ST. Paul and
Minneapolis, are using every endeavor
to add to the prosperity, wealth, and fu-
ture greatness Of their respective cities.
A spirit Of honest rivalry urges and
stimulates each in their efforts to excel,
and the result is beneficial to the State,
as well as these cities. St. Paul is
making efforts to have a boom, the st.
Paul & S. c. Shops will be moved to
St. Paul, a grand union depot will be
built, and the erection of the Fort
Smelling bridge, being amongst the
most prominent Of the proposed enter
priSeS. Minneapolis is making efforts
to connect various points in the State
with that city by system of narrow
gauge roads, Morris, Glenwood, and
Browns Valley, being among the many
places through which the proposed line
is to run. The citizens Of the last
named city, are also considering what
means they shall adopt in order to
lessen the taxes. These and many
other important measures are being ag-
itated, and while of great Importance
to these cities, are also of equal con-
sequence to the entire northwest.

A New Use for Onions.

A New Hampshire paper states that
the speediest way to cure the epizootic
and make horse thoroughly happy is
to give him onions. In proof whereof
the case of Portsmouth horse is cited,
which had a severe attack of the disease,
and his owner placed half dozen onions
with his regular feed. The horse ate
three of the onions Immediately, and by
the time he had swallowed them, began
to cough and sneeze and prance about,
appearing quite indignant, and refusing
to touch the remaining onions. For full
five minutes he wept at the nose, and
then he was a cured horse. He has not
had cough, a sneeze, nor any symptoms
Of the epizootic since, but he had the
courage to eat the onions remaining in
the crib the next day after the cure.

Poultry Diet.

Cayenne pepper, mustard or ginger
can with great benefit be added to the
food of fowls, to increase their vigor,
and to stimulate production. This
apparently artificial diet will seem to be
natural if we remember that wild birds
of the gallinaceous genus get access to
very many highly-spiced berries and
buds; articles that give the ''game
flavor" to their flesh. The ordinary
food of the domestic fowl is not entirely
without some such addition, since there
being more or less aromatic principle in
wheat, Indian corn, and other grains.
Nevertheless it is not sufficient in
quantity to supply the place of the
stronger spices, a taste for which is a
part of the fowls inherited quality. A
moderate quantity of Cayenne, &C.,
added to the ground grains is productive
of health and thrift in poultry The

Facts for the Housekeeper.

The housekeeper may not know that
a few drops of carbolic acid in pint of
water will clean house plants from lice
in very short time. If rats enter the
cellar, little powdered potash thrown
into their holes, or mixed with meal
and scattered in their runaways, never
fails to drive them away. Cayenne
pepper will keep the buttery and store
room free from ants and cockroaches.
If mouse makes an entrance into any
part of your dwelling, saturate rag
with cayenne in solution, and stuff it
into the hole, which can then be repair
ed with either wood or mortar.

Tree Telling by Electricity.

One Of our sharp countrymen fells
trees and saws timber by means of a
platinum wire at white heat. The
wire is heated by current of electricity
and then drawn gently through the
wood, burning its own passage. The
cut surface is slightly charred, but for
timber used in the rough the charring
has preserving effect.

Do Hens Reason.

A hen made n nest in box in the
baggage car, and in the course of time
had fifteen eggs and stuck to them
through thick and thin night and day,
except to step off the train occasionally
to get food and water, and recently
Matched thirteen chickens, notwith-
standing the rumbling, rolling process
the eggs passed through Mr.. Shriver
baggage mastery says that after the
sitting process began she would frequent
ly, when off the nest in search of food
and water, get left by the train at
Shelbyville and sometimes at Wartrace,
and on such occasions she would quietly
wait for the train to return, and some-
times meet it when it came in sight and
fly into the baggage car and get on the
nest Immediately. When the train
stopped for wood she would sometimes
fly out to getsomething to eat, and when
the car bell rang she would fly back i'm
mediately. She would sometimes mani
fest her joy at the appearance of the
train by cackling at high rate. Mother
and chickens are all doing well. Shelby

Rg There are four native modes of
making butter in the empire of Brazil.
The first is by putting the milk in q
common bowl and beating it with a
spoon, as you would an egg. The second
by pouring the milk into a bottle, and
shaking it till the butter appears, when
it is removed by breaking off the top of
the bottle. The third, where the dairy
is more extensive, is performed by fill
ing hide with the milk, which is
Justify shaken by an athletic native at
each end until butter is produced. The
fourth, which is considered to indicate
vast progress over any of the preceding
methods, consists in dragging the hide
or leathern vessel, filled with milk, on
the ground after galloping horse until
it is supposed the butter is formed. The
milk is never strained and the butter
never washed.
