Meeting OF Listers.

The resolutions adopted by the listers of
this county will meet the approval of all
persons who are in sympathy with the pur-
pose of the new law. We believe the listers
generally have correct understanding of
the law and will work assiduously and faith
fully to secure cheerful and measurably
honest compliance with its various provi-
sions. The hardships of the law will be
found to be more of the fancy than of
fact. Taxpayers should now endeavor to
make the listers task as light as possible by
promptly making out their inventories. To
men unused to work of this kind, we ap-
prehend the task will be vexatious rather
than difficult one. Nearly every one of
this class has some trusted friend, clever at
pen and ink work, whose aid he can invoke,
if any aid is needed, and thus complete his
inventory in advance of the listers coming
saving the delay that would result if tax
payers make practice OF waiting for the
listers arrival before the business is under
taken. The listers have, at the best, but a
short time in which to complete their diff
cult task. Let the taxpayers remember this
and not seek to impose upon the listers du-
ties which the law lays at the door of each
individual taxpayer.

they are liable to pay the state tax under the law
Of 1873 from and after the first Of January Of this
year, because they have from that date ceased to
pay any United States tax upon their capital,
which, being invested entirely in United States
bonds, is not subject to any federal taxation, and
they have 10 notified their depositors, and
that they shall pay the state tax accordingly
1t follows, therefore, that the depostors in that
corporation, and In any other trust company
which legally pursues the same course, are not
individually taxable for their deposits The de
posts in institutions which are strictly savings
banks which have no capital and the entire as
sets Of which belong to the depostors, are not
taxed by tho United States, and therefore no
question arises but what they come within the tax
law Of 1873, and are clearly exempt from taxation
to the individual depositors, but are taxable d-
rectly to the savings bank. DErosiToR

THE GRANT FUND. - The New York
Times Grant fund of $250,000, proposed last
November, the income of which was de-
signed for the use and benefit OF General
Grant, has been subscribed. Various sub
scriptions have been made in small amounts,
amounting to $3.50, and single subscriptions
varying from $50 each to $4,000 OF the
latter sum there were two; three subscribers
gave $4,000 each, eighteen gave $4,000
each, forty-eight gave $1,000 each, with suf-
ficient subscriptions of other amounts 10
make the required total The names of the
subscribers are not disclosed. The ultimate
disposition of the fund remains within the
control Of majority of the subscribers, and
after it has served the original design of
furnishing an income to General Grant dur
ing the remainder of his life, it may or it
may not be again utilized for the benefit of
an ex-president. The fund is expected to
yield an annual income of $4,000.

THuRLow WEED says that the Russian
fleets, which appeared on our Atlantic and
Pacific coasts at the opening OF the civil
war and remained to its close, carried sealed
orders--to be opened only in the event OF
interference by France or Great Britain
directing the Russian fleets TO unite their
forces with those of the United States.

for an armed intervention on the American
continent which came from France, give
credence TO this statement.

The New Hampshire supreme court has
decided against the constitutionalty of the
law laying tax of two per cent on the
gross receipts of express and telegraph
companies. AS the law laying similar
tax on these companies, passed at the late
session of the legislature of this state, was
substantial copy of the New Hampshire
law, the possibility Of revenue from that
source would seem TO be somewhat remote.
The grounds for the decision are not re-
ported.

The search for the body Of Charles
Snyder at Stockham's log pen, Camden,

the presence Of Coroner Iszard and
Mrs. Snyder, who expressed herself
perfectly satisfied that her boy had
not been drowned in that locality, the
examination having been thorough.
The uncle of the boy, Mr.. Law, ex-
pressed himself as bewildered, not
knowing what to think or what theory
to assume to account for the boys
disappearance. The family is poor,
without prospective wealth, and be can
imagine no lnducement for stealing
the boy. The case is involved in its
original mystery, involving the wild
est and most contradictory rumors.

FARM NOTES

A SALEM COUNTY SILO.-Al0Dg
with the introduction of the creamery
enterprise has come the silo, though
the latter gains Roadway much slower
than the former and their practical
bility is to be tested before they can
receive the encouragement of the
farmers generally. Those who have
seen their utility demonstrated are
firm in the belief that they are des-
tined to become in the near future an
important factor in simplifying the
pasture question with dairymen.
The silo seems to gain friends slowly,
and dairymen are loath to accept any
proof as conclusive short Of the pos
tive operations of one of these new
devices in practical test to perform
what is claimed for them. In 1876
the first creamery began operations
in Bucks county, Pa, and this is the
FIRST season that the silo has gained
sufficient adherents to have anything
like practical tea in that section.
As the creamery question is now at
tracing considerable attention among
the farmers Of the upper part of
Salem county, and they are to be
given practical test of the workings
Of . silo, which is now in course of
erection on the farm Of Col. John w.
Dickinson, in Warrington, we visited
that place last week, to gain what
information we could lay before our
readers. For those who may be un-
used to this word silo or its meaning,
we will say it is a structure for the
means Of preserving green fodder corn
for feeding cattle during the winter
and times when pasture is scarce, or
instead Of pasturing them in the
fields and adopting the soiling system.
The Dickinson silo is built on high
ground and is 30 feet long, IL feet
wide and IL feet 6 inches high to
the caves. The walls are Of stone
cemented on the Inside. At the
time of our visit only the walls had
been erected, but Mr.. j. G. Grice,
the tenant on the farm, informed us
that it was the intention to complete
the structure within q day or SO. 1t
is conveniently located for filling, and
attached to it is to be erected a
double row Of stables for cattle, with
an entrance directly from the silo to
the hallway between the stables. |
Col. Dickinson has about six acres
in corn for ensilage, but like many
other corn fields, it is not as good
as he would like, the season having
been very unfavorable for that kind
Of a crop, the drouth cutting it short.
The silo will be filed about the first
Of September, when we hope to give
our readers more definite particulars
in regard to this new process Of pre-
serving fodder. II is the Colonels
intention, we are informed. to try
fattening cattle this winter. A good
many people look at the silo business
as . "cranky" thing, but the probab.
ilities are that they will soon form an
important element in all dairy Sec
tions. However, many farmers are
Watching the experiment with keen
interest. Salem Standard.

Business.

New York, 26.-Only two towns In the
country show a decrease OF business
transactions this week over the cores
ponding week last year, Baltimore of
3.9-10per cent, and Memphis of 1910.
The P1E6ltc says: We have reached
the period at which the enormous trans
actions began last year. As soon as the
election In October had terminated the
uncertain result of the presidential
contest, business and speculation both
began to increase, with rapidly. From
this time until the end of the year, COM
parison will be made with returns of IN
precedeDted magnitude. The largest
crops ever known were in molten one
year ago. Now "a important decrease
in the yield is apparent, but there is
compensation for the decline in the
quantities, moved of leading products,
first in the material advance in the
prices Of those products, and second in
the greater general prosperity of the
country which several successive years
of bountiful crops have helped to pro-
duce, and which cannot be extiEguished
by q single season of disaster, hence the
exchanges of October '81 still continue to
exceed those of corresponding weeks last
year, and at many points quite largely.
The increase at Boston, Cincinnati,
Louisville, Pittsburg, Kansas City and
Syracuse is the more significant because
the volume Of speculative business at
those cities ia comparatively smaller
than at Chicago, San Francisco or New
York. n
