fowls and ducks; for geese IA inches
high and for turkeys 16. The coop is
divided by a partition across the
middle. Use posts 2 inches square for
the corners and middle. The Stats on
each side next to the bottom should be
3 feet 5 inches long, the others at each
end 3 feet long. The 5 inches extension
beyond the end Of the coop is to hold a

V-shaped notch is cut in the projecting
ends of the lower Stats to hold the feed
trough outside of the coop. Put the
Stats on the sides and ends about 2
inches apart but closer or top to pre-

NOTES FOR

SHEEP must have pure air and plenty
of it; see that the sheds are we'll ven
tilated.
Do NOT feed corn to pregnant ewes if
it can be avoided; it develops too much
heat and fat.
KEEP an eye on the sheep at this sea
son; if insect or scab is found treat
ment should follow at once.
SHEEP should be able to seek shelter
or take to the open air at their option.
Constant confinement or exposure is
not we'll.
A VERY thin lamb or sheep if given
the of the stockyards pleasant
days will nearly always pick up faster
than if shut up close and fed grain.
WHEN feeding sulphur TO sheep they
should be protected from rain or melt

protected under all circumstances.
1T is not safe to feed millet seed, or
millet hay the seed of which vas fully

take better care of it than any other
animal, since they masticate their food
more fnely.-Prairie Farmer.

Row Taxation Drives Away sapit.s,

Cleveland, o., has long borne the rep
utatlon OF being one of the richest cities
IN the country as calculated by the
wealth of residents. Those who have
no opportunity to know the inner
workings of the great financial ma
chlnes. managed principally from the
private offices of the banks, may be
surprised to know that Cleveland is
not nearly as rlah as she was a few
months ago. The leader divulged the
fact, a short time ago, hat a number
OF the wealthiest mea of the city. to
avon heavy taxation. had either
changed their places of legal residence
or placed part of their properly beyond
the reach of tax laws of Cleveland
and of Ohio. The capitalists evinced a
strong desire that this should not tie
generally known, and strongly resent
ed inquiry which a Leader reporter
made on the subject. The apprehen-
ION that the decision of the SUI
preme court concerning the taxation
in this state of certain kinds of foreign
stocks and bonds would drive a greet
deal Of wealth from Cleveland, seem
to v been well founded. This de-
cision was to the effect that the hold"
ers of stocks andbonds of any railroad
or telegraph line running through
the state and into another, whether
owned by an Ohio corporation or not,
! 'GaIs subject to taxation in this state.
Tee stocks and bonds of this nature
hnld by Cleveland capitalists represent
many hundred thousands of dollars,
AID the yearly taxes on them amount
to a good round sum. The activity of
the county auditor and board of
equalization in obtaining the correct
listing of the securities and personal
property of wealthy residents has also
had it's effect.
(Here follows a list of a dozen rtrh
men, including the Rockefellers ard
ex-Secretary Whitney, who left Cle" e.
land for New York, and of some others
who have shifted their legal residejSce
and other places.)
One of the gentlemen who arr the
News authority for the above state
ments said: Il understood that TWEEN
ty-seven wealthy men have left Cincin-
natl for exactly the same reasons chat
influenced the Cleveland men. Most of
them went to New York. 1t might be
different if the spirit of the recent Ohio
legislatures encouraged the belief hat
tax laws which could be equitably en-
forced would be passed; but the tend
ency seems to be all the other way.

Gone Off After Income Taxes,

The government and the leading
classes, realizing in the very depth of
their souls that the solving of the land
question means the solving of all social
questions, which would deprive them
at once of all their special privileges.
and that this question is H QUESTION
of the day, make it appear as if they
were greatly disturbed over the well
fare of the people, and while they in
troduce savings banks, inspection of
factories, income tar, and even the eight
hour working day, they ignore very
carefully the land question; and with
the aid of a politico-economic science
which is devoted to their interest, and
will prove anything they want proven,
they insist that the appropriation Of
land would be Useless, hurtful, nay,
even impossible. Leo Tolstoi.

The Natural Sources of Tsxes-

Where shall we obtain means to de.
Tray public %expenses2 If it shall be
1ound upon examination that Shere are
large values already created by the
pubic, h revenues from which would
DE ~aoundantly sufficient to meet public
expenses, that fact would seem of itself
70 suggest the solution of the problem.
The answer then is: Those values
which are created by the public should
furnish the necessary means to paw the
expenses of the public.
mat there are such values everyone
may see by the briefest consideration.
1hey are values that attach to land
considered as separate from all i'm
Provements. In the heart of Me- York
city vacant land hes been sold at the
rate OF twelve millions of dollars per
acre. 1t is not a value given to it by
any individual or person, but is a value
created entirely by public demand: and
1t is such values as these that should
De taxed to pay public expenses; or, to
put 1t IN another form, all taxes should
be abolished and public expenses
should be met by c~onfiscating as much
OF the ground rent as is necessary for
that purpose. That this is just would
seem to be self-evident without the
need of argument, but that it would
be ~expedient may not be so quickly evil
dent, though justice is always expedi-
ent.
We must avoid the common error of
assuming that the single tax means a
tax on land, as such; it means, instead,
a tax upon those values which are ere
ated by the public or by natural adj
vantages and which attach to land;
hence it would beheaviest upon the
most valuable land, which is of course
land in villages and cities, and valuable
coal and mineral lands, and lightest
upon the least valuable land, which is,
without exception, farm land. OF all
who would gain by the adoption of this
system farmers would gain the most.
The American farmers are not in any
just sense landlords meaning by the
term those who do not use the land
themselves, but who exact a rent from
others for the privilege of using it-but
being taxes upon labor, are taxes
upon producers and not upon land
lords. The principal value of farms is
in the improvements and appliances of
labor, and as these, with all the work
ing capital, would be relieved from
taxation, the farmers labor and enter
prise would produce a large income.
The single tax would check specula-
ton in valable lands, especially in vii
lagos and cities. Such speculation, by
holding land out of use, withholds OPP
portunities for labor. Holders of va
can't land would be taxed just as high
as the owners of adjoining land SINH
larly situated, who had erected i'm
provements. In short, those who are
already putting their land to it's best
whether in city or country, would
find their taxes lessened, and only
those who are holding land idle for
speculative purposes, neither using it
themselves nor permitting others to
use it, would find their taxes increased.
This would discourage speculation in
land and encourage building
and other improvements.

Cheap Paint for Fences, Etc.

Board fences look better and last
better when painted, and if the boards
are dressed which costs but little if
one is zeal a mill. There is nothing
better than the raw linseed oil and
iron oxide paint, which is of a pleas
ing, brownish-red color, that matches
well with the green of the meadows Or
a lawn and shrubbery. But for field
fences a cheap paint may be made of
lime and common soap. The lime is
Stacked in hot water. and, while hot,
the soap, cut into thin slices, is dis
solved in the liquid. To lessen the
glazing whiteness, common water
lime is added and stirred to make q
light gray, or lamp black may be used,
or brown lumber, so as to get a pleas
ing and desirable shade. This is put
on while hot, or it is made hot for the
purpose. 1t will stand the weather and

SHIPPING POULTRY.
Directions for Making Express Coops for
chickens and Ducks.

Poultry shipped alive to market
should be well fattened, healthy and
free from blemish. 1t is mostly used
by city people who dislike fowls or ami
mails IN any way deformed: but for I'M
blemished and well-fattened fowls are
willing to pay the highest price. Be
fore putting them in the coops, give
plenty of feed and drink. Feed grain
only: meal sours.- Do not overcrowd
the coop, as it causes excessive heat
n makes the fowls feverish and sick
ly. II sent by express the coop should
be as small and light as is compatible
with sufficient strength to bear rough
handling. Freight is charged on weight
Of coop as well as Of poultry. Old
roosters usually sell at half the price
OF fowls and young ROSTERS are rated
the same as chickens. Small and near
by lots are best sent by express and
the coops will be returned free of
charge. These can be made smaller
and lighter than those which are sent
by freight. -,-
Following is a convenient size for
express coops for fowls, chickens and
ducks: Boards for ends and middle,
each 2 feet long, l foot wide and % inch
thick. free from shakes or splits and
of light, dry wood. For the bottom
use boards 4 feet long and Is inch
thick. For sides and top, clear,
straight-grained plasterer's lath is the
best and cheapest. Make the bottom
of boards the same length as the laths,
and of full width of the end and mid
die pieces. Nail the lower laths close
against the bottom boards on both
sides, to prevent the fowls from get
ting their feet or legs out. Leave in
terstices of about . inches between the
laths on the sides, but only IL inches
on top. This prevents the fowls from
sticking their heads through and being
injured or killed, as one coop is placed
on another. Screw the two middle
laths on top hat they may be easily
removed. Nail a piece of thin, light
hoop iron all around the ends and mid
die.
For small spring chickens and
pigeons make coops of the same di-
mansions but only 8 inches high, as
only strong healthy pigeons are used
for trap shooting. Do not put squeal-
ers or young ones on, or any with
clipped wings, as they will be thrown
out when sold. For geese the coops
The Opelousas courier., 1895-03-16
keen ONLY One Breed.

1t is best to undertake only one
breed of fowls or, at most, two if both
eggs and broilers are desired. This
will give you an opportunity to note
closely the good points Of the fowls
and try to improve them. 1t will pay
to start with a good breed, provided
proper attention is given to the
raising and feeding. Under such
conditions the thoroughbrcds will al
ways distance the barnyard fowls in
the amount and quality Of their prod
ucts, but they will not stand neglect
any better. Time and trouble are re-
auired in grading up your stock, but
tha.- will run down hill rapidly an1
without EFFORT If once you relax your
care.
