year $457, 569.75 or not far from
thirty per cent of their entire
tax. This year this county will
not pay the state So, 600 more than
it gets back. This does not look
like a very great extravaganza on
the part of the state.
OF this general tax we have no
means of knowing how much is
paid by farmers, as the tax is
given by counties and not by
cities. but a comparison between
counties having cities, with those
that have none, will aid in forming
an opinion. Tax 1888, Kent, $685.
417.71; tax 1888, Kalamazoo, S37. :
022. 78; tax 1888, Van Buren,, SOL
500. 90. 1t will be seen that Kent
pays more than three and fourth
times as much tax as Van Buren,.
Looking over all these reports
we believe it is safe to say that
farmers do not pay more than
one half of the general state tax,
which, reckoning in the specific
tax. would leave them only 30
per cent of the whole tax
to pay instead of Is as has been
generally believed.
AS to County tax we have no
figures given, but last year our
tax was the same as the state tax.
Assuming this ratio for all the
counties, which we think is a fair
one. the aggregate county tax
would be 81, 45S, 466.04. Against
this 1866 liquor dealers paid ST.
500. 1885, or 42,332.S1 more
than the entire County tax in the
State.
Now I am not justifying a
liquor tax. | wish the business,
tax and all could be blotted out,
and the sellers obliged to go to
farming or something else
for a living. but wish to show
that others pay taxes as well as
farmers. But aside from this tax,
| think that one half of the valua-
ton. on which our taxes are
based, is assessed to those who
do not own farms.
AS to town taxes in our town.
| think the farmers pay the larger
share, for | know of but one man
doing business in town but what
is a farmer. and | do not know
but he is; but in more than one
hundred villages in our state, the
tax payers pay their proportion
of the town tax, besides their cor
pOration tax, while the taxes in
our cities would frightened the
farmers. In conclusion | venture
the assertion. that taking school,
town. municipal, county and
state, the farmers do not pay
forty per cent of the taxes.

From the Grange Visitor, Dec. I.
Taxation.

Election is over and the next
thing is taxes. An impression
prevails that the farming com
munity is unduly taxed.
think | am safe in saying that
the statement has been made a
hundred times in this county this
year that the farmers own but
one ninth of the property, and yet
pay eighty per cent of the taxes. :"
think that in one of the Septem-
Der VISITORS occurs the state
ment that farmers pay seventy
five per cent Of the taxes. The
per cent of property in the hands
of farmers can be better told af-
ter the census returns are in, but
we already have our tax reports
for this state and let us see what
they say.
But first allow me to say l do
not think that any of our officers,
town county or state, are admin
istered as economically as they
might be, any more than / be-
lieve that there is one family in
a hundred but what spends more
than is really necessary. Also
that there is less chance to dodge
the supervisor than with many
other things.
Farm property is not as easily
slipped intohis pocket, or onto a
back shelf as some other taxable
things.
But now as to actual amount
paid. First as to state taxes.
Our Auditor General reports June
Both, 1889, for the year closing
that day: General State taxes,

taxes for that year a trifle less
than forty per cent of the whole,
if figured rightly. These specific
taxes are from Rail Roads, Rlv-
ers, Plank Roads. Insurance,
Mining, Telegraph, Telephone,
and Express Companies. The

The Art of Feeding Horses.

An English veterinary surgeon recon-
mends that those who have charge
of horses should be taught that the stom-
ach of horse is not like the rumen Of
a COW, q mere receptacle for food, but an
essential organ of digestion for a limited
capacity, which does not need to be
crammed in order to perform its proper
functions, and that it cannot be so treats
ed without danger to the animal; and
that the teeth of the horse are provided
for the purpose Of masticating the food,
and that the food which does not require
mastication should be sparingly, if ever
used. He further recommends that nc
horse be put to work Immediately after
full meal, and when horse has done
heavy days work it should be allowed
to stand in the stable until it is cool and
comfortable before being fed. A little
water may be given, and if little good
hay be put into the rack it will occupy
his attention, and besides requiring prop
er mastication will further have the eff
feet to slightly stimulate the stomach to
secretion, and prepare it for the recep-
ton of the feed which is to follow.
Should a horse require more food than
usual to supply the extra waste of tissue
caused by hard work, give it by all
means. but let it be in excess in its al.
bu,ninoids, and let the horse be fed of.
tener and not increased quantities at q
time
