PETITION FOR TAX CANCELLATION.

]. W. Hughes appeared before the Board
and as attorney for the owner, J. W. Will
son. asked that the unpaid taxes of 1882,
1883, 1854 1885 and 1887, on the block
bounded by and Q, Twenty. second and
Twenty-third streets, be cancelled, for the
reason that the Court has already ruled
that the assessment on the property was
void and would never be paid.
Mayor Gregory thought it very queer
request TO make, and said he did not see
why the Board had any more right to can
Gel the taxes on that piece of property than
on any other. The matter was accord
ingly laid over for one week.
WATER AND WATER RATES.
William Turner made request of the
Board that they extend the city mains so
that the property-owners in the vicinity OF
Tweniy-sixth and O streets might be &C
commodated with the city water. The
Mayor informed him that it would have
been done long ago but for the lack of
power al the water works. The engines
were hardly able TO do the work required
of them at present. The matter will, how
ever, be attended to as rapidly as possible.
Mayor Gregory introduced an ordinance
regulating and rearranging the water rates
so as TO make them more uniform. Il was
such lengthy matter that il was deferred
until special meeting in the evening.
SUBORDINATE OFFICERS ELECTED.
Trustee Wolf nominated for City Expert
r. ~ Clarken. The roll being called Nc
Laughlin and Wolf voted for Clarken and
Mayor Gregory for Frank Devlin.
Phillip Rumble was unanimously elected
Poundmaster for the coming year No
other applications for the position were
made.
James Plummer being the lowest bidder
was awarded the contract for grading and
improving Front street from @ to L.
The subject of the appointment of extra
policemen being broached. Trustee Wolf
stated that he desired himself to be placed
on record as strictly opposed 10 the whole
plan. He thought it was all right to have
policemen, but be did not see where all the
money was coming from to pay the extra
ones, when the city was now in debt over
5000 to those they have. II the proposed
extra ones were appointed, he thought
there would be grand "squabble" when
their salaries became due.
Mayor Gregory took the same view of
affairs.
After allowing about dozen bills the
Board adjourned.

WHAT SILO MEN SAY.

land, O., is still a matter of much talk
among the farmers. Many are con.
founded by the seeming indisputable
evidence presented by those who have
been feeding silage for several years.
1t may not be out of place to give the
readers of The Press a few of the con-
illusions arrived at by the convention,
which included over 200 persons who
owned silos.
The almost unanimous verdict of
the sllo men was that the B. & W.
Virginia white dent corr gave the
most profitable crop and made the
best silage. Where it had been planted
on clover sod and fairly well manured
it had proved far superior in resisting
drouth, making even during the great
drouth of 1887 IN average growth.
Planted thin, eight and ten quarts per
acre, it attains an immense growth.

In The Press that sweet or r1pened

WHEN IS A HORSE STANDARD :
From Cedar Rapids Farmer and Breeder.1

From Cedar Rapids Farmer and Breeder.1
Several of our readers have asked
recently for the rules regulating the
admission of trotting bred horses into
the register. We give them below in
full. 1t is thought that some changes
will be made in these rules, however,
before long:
First. Any stallion that has himself
a record of two minutes and thirty
seconds ESQ or better, provided any
of his get has a record of 2:35 or
better, provided his sire or dam is
already a standard animal.
Second. Any mare or gelding that
has a record of 2:30 or better.
Third. Any horse that is the sire Of
two animals with a record of 2:3O or
better.
Fourth. Any horse that is the sire
of n animal with a record of 2:3O
or better, provided he has any of the
following qualifications: IA record
Of himself of 2:25 or better. 2-Is
the sire of two other animals with a
record of 2:35 or better. Has a
sire or dam that is already a standard
animal.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-07-02

Fifth. Any mare that has produced
an animal with a record of 2:3O or
better.
Sixth. The progeny of a standard
horse when out of a standard mare.
Seventh. The female progeny of a
standard horse when out of a mare
by a standard horse.
Eighth The female progeny of a
standard horse when out of a mare
whose dam is a standard mare.
Ninth. Any mare that has a record
OF 2.35 or better, and whose sire or

K CLOVER HAY.

The ideal way to make the best
clover hay is to NOW the clover when
in full bloom, and as soon as it is well
wilted rake and put into small but
high cocks of about 100 pounds each,
cured weight. These should stand
three or four days, and then be turned
bottom up, after the dew is dried off
in the morning. Such hay drawn in
in the heat of the day will be choice
if no rain falls on the cocks. But
that little eff" is just where the
trouble comes in. There is too much
risk in this curing in the cock method,
and then it takes a good deal of labor
to put the clover up nicely, as it must
be done to shed water. One NAV use
caps to cover the cocks. He is then
quite independent of the weather, and
can make choice hay by this method,
if he will build the cocks so thew will
be no larger at the base after settling
than half way up. This plan will do
for a fancy farmer who doesn't have
to look closely for the profits. For
the great majority of farmers it is too
costly. They do not get enough out
of their hay to warrant the expense.

cooking up almost entirely, but never.
