The meeting of farmers called
for by a notice published in the
MIDLAND JOURNAL took place last
Saturday. Mr.. III. III. Haines was
asked by the meeting to take the
chair and Mr.. d. w. McVey acted
as secretary. The object of the
meeting was to consider the matter
of properly filling up assessment
blanks under provision of the new
assessment law. The proper valua
ton of land per acre, exclusive of
buildings was the first question
brought before the meeting.
After discussing several values
suggested by members, a maximum
value was fixed at 500 and minimum
at s..
A maximum and minimum value
for horses and mules was fixed at
$75 and $5 a head. That for COWS
$50 and $40. Oxen $50 to $75 per
yoke or pair. Hogs if assessable
were fixed at 81 to 81 and sheep at
$3 per head. These figures were
fixed upon as a guide to get the
assessment of property as nearly
uniform as possible. All values by
the owners are subject to alteration
and variation by the assessors.
The above figures will greatly as
sist persons in filling out their lists,
which should be ready when the
assessor calls.

health, and the record of remarkable

full power over disease. 1t actually and
permanently cures when all other prepa-
