on the Stock Yards Matter.
 JEFFERSON CrrY, Mo, Feb. 2s. - Chairman Whitecotton is preparing 8 bill to be offered as substitute for all bills before the house on the subject of stock yards charges. 1t will conform as nearly as possible to the provisions of the Kansas bill regarding feed and yardage prices, but it is almost certain that the two committees cannot get to- essether on the question Of rates for eat tie. The Kansans insist on 15 cents as the maximum rate for yardage of cattle while the Missouri committee still in- sists on making it IS or 20 cents.

In the GLoBE / notice many express
sions Of dissatisfaction from correspond
ents over the change onr county court
made IN the road districts and IN the
manner Of collecting road tax.
Twenty years' residence in Oregon
the last two as road snpervisor-has cop-
yinced me that good roads are only pos
sible by compelling everyone 70 pay
their tax in cash. In every road district
only abont one-half Of the people are
willing to do their work, and do 1t well;
the other half can neither be coaxed Or
driven 10 do II.
do not believe that two supervisors
can do the work Of 10 or 70 mud do Jns-
tice to every district. In my opinion
the better way would be to appoint q su-
pervisor for every district, rs before, and
to furnish each supervisor with q list oi
all Of the taxpayers and the amount ~
cash each has TO work out, the snpervis-
ors to give notice, as before; those who
do their work 10 be given a receipt for
the amount in cash they have worked
supervisors TO have power to hire substi-
tutes in place Of those who failed 70 re-
spond; the substitute 70 be given re-
ceipt stating for whom the work was
done; the receipt TO be presented to the
county court or clerk, who would issue
warrrnts for the amounts due; delin'
quents to forfeit their right to work onl
their tax for that year.
Supervisors would thus be able to
complete their work without waiting on
the pleasure Of the chronic shirks.
would suggest that every supervisor b(
required to give detailed statement II
their annual, or better still, eemi-annua
report Of all work done in their dstric
and In what part Of the district; th'
county court TO furnish each supervise
With d plat showing line Of road in thei
district.
The great drawback in this countr!
is the lack OF system in building roads
Outgoing supervisors should be required
to state in their annual reports wha
work, in their opinion, is most urgen
and what material IL most needed 70
the next years work. This would ten'
to establish system ofs continuity iron
one year to another and result in goo
roads.

NOTICE.

The county court at its January term
decided to adopt the cash system Of road
working, authorized by the legislature
OF 1898.
The following general plan has been
adopted, which we make public in this
way, hoping thereby to secure the intel
ligent corporation Of the people.
A i1a-mill tax Was levied against prop
erty, making sl.50 on the $1,000, being
the same as under the old law. Two
dollars cash was assessed against every
one who is liable to pay state poll tax.
These road taxes are payable to the
sheriff in the same manner and at the
same time as are other taxes.
With the limited amount Of money
that will be available, it was thought
that it would not be best to undertake
TO fit up more than two woodworking
outfits, each to be supplied with reyer-
sible grader and other necessary road
working tools; consequently the num-
ber Of road districts were reduced from
twenty TO two, aud q supervisor appoint
ed for each. The supervisors will be
expected to take direct charge Of their
respective road-making outfits. Free
quently roads need immediate repairs
as result Of washouts and other causes.
/ With view to having such work done
promptly, and for other reasons, the dis
trict road supervisors will appoint as
many deputy precinct supervisors as
there were road districts formerly. The
boundaries Of tie precinct road districts
will conform to that OF the old districts.
! These deputy supervisors will be author
lied to make temporary repairs and will
assist the supervisor by giving informa-
tion when required, concerning the con-
dition and needs in their road precincts
lin short, be tile supervisors right
hand man" in their particular part o.
the county.
II will be so arranged that any one
who chooses can work two daysin lieu
OF the cash road poll tax. This class oI
taxpayers being scattered all over the
country, it is thought it will be yer,
convenient to have such work available
for temporary repairs, and also to hell
out whenever the main roaG-workiD,
outfit arrives in precinct Neither th'
precinct road supervisor nor the genera
supervisor will be required to vast
their time riding around TO warn out
this class of work. Means will be de
vised BY which those who prefer to worl
out their road poll tax can let the snper
visor know the fact and he can in turl
! let them know when they are wanted.
The supervisors will give those VIII
, work out their road poll tax a suitabl
/ voucher, the said voucher to be receive
: By the sheriff as payment for road po
poll taxes charged against the party.
/. We earnestly request that the peopl
cooperate with their precinct supervi'
ors; that these supervisors co-operai
with their district supervisors, and tn
county court hereby promises to co-ope
/ ate with all parties concerned, an
hopes to be able to secure better roat
for the time and money to be expende
than has ever been attained before.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.


Milk of different temperatures should
never be mixed.
With cows long in milk the butter
will come slowly.
The only way to keep cows is to keep
them perfectly clean.
The cleo law has been sustained in
West Virginia by the supreme court OF
that state. The law requires that oleJ
be colored pink, and for n violation of II
by selling it in the guise of butter fine
+. of $50 and costs was imposed. An APP
peal affirmed the decision.
At ten cents bushel, potatoes do not
pay the grower, but they will pay the
dairyman who purchases them Mt tina;
price to feed his mich cows. Farmers
who are hauling potatoes out to the field
to be used as fertilizers will find 1T will
pay better to first put them through live
stock.
Water cools the milk much more
rapidly, says writer, than air will do
and on this account the water setting
must DE used in the winter as well as
the summer. 1t would be simple mat
ter to set the water to be used out oI
doors to get cold before putting it in
the tank.

the unhappiness of her first experience

when she was a girl of - to a notary in

band, and with the aid of George Sand
wrote herself into fame in Paris. Her
second husband was a senator and left

rarely ate meat of any kind and were a

the present system to be wrong; other
wise they would show their faith by
their works; they would no longer feel
justified in performing So worth of
labor on the farm one day, and $l.5o
worth on the road the next.
We have long stood with those who
thinle the road tax should be collected
in money. and have paid cash for several
years. but under the present system OF
road management ii cannot always be
applied to the best advantage.
In some sections even where great
claims were made for the naturally
good" condition of the roads, the boun-
tiful crops sometimes lie unmoved
through period of high prices. simply
because the naturally bad condition OF
the roads at certain seasons of the year
forbids the hauling of loads. Farmers
study and plan, and work. TO increase
productions; they study the law of sup
ply and demand; they watch the mar
kets that they may be enabled to sci
their produce when prices are best;
in short, they, many of them. do theil
part as well, as far as their own private
| business is concerned. On the other
hand, the railroads and elevators ar,
ever ready to do their part, as far as
their private business of handling th'
| farmers produce is concerned. Undel
! these conditions what is TO hinder tn,
intelligent farmer from always pushing
his produce into market at such time al
his best Judgment dictates? Simply thu
weakness of the connecting link-th'
highway-the one thing over which tn,
people have full control. There ar,
times when the farm is practically
much farther from the nearest villag
than the village is from the great mar
10 which il is tributary, and until tn
weak link is made strong. farming will
not be as generally profitable as !
otherwise would be.-The Epitomist.
