ment. It is a large. strong hog, OF Wig
orous and hardy constitution. The sows
are immensely prolific, producing some
times seventeen pigs at litter. Harris
also recommends the Chester White as
one of the best crosses with the refined
English breeds, such as the Essex, Berk-
shire and Yorkshire The cross will pro-
duce prime animals, having the fine meat
qualities of the English breeds and the
strong constitution and size of the Ches-
ter White The Chester Whites are
animals of quiet habits and quickly fat
tened.
The illustration shows perhaps the
best form of this breed. The specimen
in the picture was 10 months old when
she had her portrait taken. Market ami
mails of this breed, narrowed in March or
April, will weigh 200 to 24O pounds
when slaughtered in November. This
is exactly what is wanted in the hog
business of these times-early maturity
and quick sales. When allowed to grow
to their largest size and greatest fairness
the Chester Whites will reach a weight
of from 600 to 900 pounds. One advantage
Of the Chesters is that they can be fed
and fattened to kill when young as we'll
as to be allowed to grow to maturity.
And one disadvantage mentioned by
Harris is that the breed is not yet long
enough established to always present
uniform points, so that the breeder who
buys one of them must remember he
represents not family so much as him
self. and he may present points of his
remote scrub ancestry, such as large lop
ears, slab sides and capacity for racing.

Display for 1Iillionaires.
The sixth annual horse show Of the
associated horse breeders was the first
one held in the new Madison Square
Garden, New York, in the magnificent
structure upon the site where the hum
bic old Madison square shed has echoed
20 often to the neighing of steeds, from
q child's Shetland pony to the bucking
mustangs Of Buffalo Bill.
What did the horse show show? It dis
played first Of all the amount of money
there is in this country. The ostensible
purpose of the promoters of the show
is the improvement of American
horses. Farmers are more directly in
terested in this Improvement than any
others, since it is the farmers who rear
nine-tenths of all the horses in the
Union. But the prices of admission were
so high that it would take almost a
wagon load of farm produce to procure
a good seat in the amphitheatre. The
lowest price was that for general admis-
sion. This entitled you to no seat at all,
but to merely walk around an inclosure,
where at any moment a frisky steed
that felt particularly good might up
with his heels and kick you into king
dom come.
The lowest priced seats were dollar
and a half, and from that they ranged
mp to 81, the price for box. What is
more, the seats for the opening night
were every one engaged beforehand.
Wealthy people filed them. Splendidly
dressed ladies wearing diamonds flashed
through the boxes like bright winged
birds. It was all very grand, but the
farmer was not there. The show was in
the hands of a number of rich people,
who exhibited horses worth in them

horses were exhibited, magnificent ami

The Governors Message on Taxa


To the Editor of the Press:
The Governor In his message very grace
fully suggests to the legislature the expedi-
ency of hurrying up tax reform. Referring
to the slow movements Of tax reforms gener-
ally, he hints that with you [the legisla-
ture] there will be no occasion for such
course" delay. "The report of this special
commission furnishes you at the start with
the ground work for legislation of this char
acter."
The Governor comedies with the Maine
State ORANGES recommendation that the
assessors of the State board (the establish
ment OF which he advises) be chosen by the
legislature. instead of appointed by the Gov
ernor and Council, as reported by the Special
Commission.
He points out again, as In former mes
sage, the great inequalities in valuations for
taxation, and intelligently. claims that ''Our
our farm property in the farms of the State,
and makes the farmers pay an undue share
of general taxes"
He seems to have regarded as too special
IN message, any suggestion or recommends
ton concerning the wild lands" or railroads
But think the tone of his message indicates
that he will be in sympathy with any just
measure, which shall require those vast
properties to stand in" for their equal
shares of taxation.
Many Of his friends will regret perhaps,
that he did not make special mention of
these most conspicuous instances of glaring
inequalities; instances where certainly
proxlmately seventy millions of dollars of
property escape with a total tax list of about
one hundred and forty thousand dollars,
which at the average rate throughout the
state, of seventeen and one tenth mills.
would yield to the treasury of the state, with
absolute justice to all parties, about one
million and two hundred THOUSAND dollars.
A magnificent income with which our state
tax might entirely disappear, except the mill
tax, and give much needed additional sum
for the support of our common schools, in
whose behalf the Governor makes an en-
lightened appeal.
