hETTY CRgEfi'S TAXES.
Amounts Paid by Americas Richest
woman in the EoWn Where Ske


EiNeHs
Hetty II. r. Green, the richest wo-
man in America, is again counted
among the citizens of Bellows Falls,
Vt, says a special to the New York
World.
Mrs. Green's taxation has always
been bone of contention here. What
she thinks is a large list is small, in
deed, to the tax listers, who have not
failed TO hear of her many millions.
Mrs Green has owned a house and
barn here, known as the Green home
stead, for many years, and has PAID
taxes thereon to their full value, but
getting a personal list was not easy.
On recent visit to this place she
was accosted by resident who had
known her for many years. lie
shook her proffered hand and asked;
where are you living now, Mrs.
Green?"
"Oh," she replied jauntily, under
my hat"
This is about as far as most of the
tax assessors got.
Investigation of the town records
shows that Mrs. Green first became a
legal resident of the town in 1889,
paying at that time and up to and in
Gliding the year 1898 taxes on $4,000
personal property. In 1894 new
board of listers succeeded in material
ly increasing the list. She then paio
on S11 900 real estate and $4,000 per
sonal property and on $4,000 as trus
tee Her husband, as trustee, paid or
$1,000, and her daughter, Sylvia, or
$1,000, making total of $4,000 fol
the Green family.
In 1895 she paid on 100000 real es
tate, 100000 PERSONAL; Mr.. Green OF
5000 in his own name and on $500
as trustee.
In 1896, 1897 and 1898 she paid OF
$50. 900 real estate, $4,000 personal
and Mr.. Green on $4,000 in his ow
name and $4,000 as trustee.

for screws. Fasten these to the bot
tom side of the frame with inch screws
and then with a wrench or some other
tool bend the legs in such way as to
leave a space of from foot to is inches
between the frame and surface of the
stove. On the upper side and near the
corners of the frame, drive in small
nails so that they penetrate the wood
deep enough to leave an inch in length
sticking up. Over these slip four thread
spools By driving corresponding
nails into the bottom side of the sec
ond frame to slip down into the spools,
it is held in place. The third frame
is fastened in the same way and as
many more as desired can be added.
The frames are high enough above the
stove so as not to interfere with cook
ing. The fruit dried in this way is of
a good quality, and the work can be
done as rapidly as in a high-priced

LARGE MILK YIELDS.
They Car Re Expected Only by Dairy
nae d who Know the Value of
Regular Milking.

Cows axe creatures of E,abit, and the
habits Of their owners are reflected in
their milk yield. The dairyman who
millls his cows at regular hour night
and morning will secure an eighth or a
tenth more milk with them than
though there was a variation of an
hour or two in the milking hours every
day. \ writer in the Indiana Farmer
has seen this practically tested to his
satisfaction on some large dairy farms
in central New York. The methodical-
dairyman, las regular as clockwork,
came out ahead every time. Right now
is the best possible time to put this
rule OF regularity into practice. Dairy
men should make it rule. say. to milk
their cows at six o'clock in the morn
ing and six o'clock at night. After this
rule has been once established on the
premises, it should be like the laws OF
the Modes and Persians, unalterable,
and respected accordingly. 1t is such
| a common occurrence to let other farm
| duties interfere with the regular care
| and milking of COWS that it may be
| to know better, that strict adherence
! TO method has anything to do with
dairy success. 1t can safely be set
down that if man is conducting what
he calls mixed farming" and dairyins
is a part of the mixture, his COWS can
be made to pay more in proportion than
any OF his other agricultural interests

ever. under ordinary care and usage
He must give his milch cattle extraor

benefit of their full capabilities. This
mixed farming business, of which
dairyin9is supposed to form an integra
part, is the cause of a whole lot of in

GRAPEVINE CULTURE.
Hints on the Preparation of the Soil
and the Distance at Which to
Set the Plants.

In preparing the land for grape
vines, plow the ground deeply, and, if
possible, subsoil. Then pulverize the
ground thoroughly to give the small
roots all the chance possible to develop.
1t is best to set the vines not nearer to-
gether than eight feet. The holes in
which the vines are set should be each
two feet square and from 10 to 20
Inches deep. If large number of vines
are to be set, the land should be pre-
viously marked off, so that the rows
of vines will be straight both ways; as
this both improves the looks of the
field and makes it easier to cultivate,
One grape grower advises to keep the
surface soil separate from the subsoil
when digging the holes, and to put
back this surface dirt first when filling
up the holes. This will give the roots
a good medium in which to develop.
Once well rooted and growing, the vine
can send its roots into the less con-
genial soil without experiencing back
set. In the fall, in regions where win
ter protection is needed, this may be
obtained by blowing furrow on each
side of the row and throwing the dirt
up toward the vines. In the spring this
dirt must be leveled to admit OF even
culture. The vines may be staked and
tied to the stakes till they are two years
OLD, when they may be fastened to wires
strung between the posts.-Farmers'

SUGGESTIONS of Vegetables.

Vegetables of which every garden
ought to furnish a succession are rad
ish, lettuce, peas, string beans, beets,
cress and turnips. Every book that was
ever written on gardening has advised
Sowing for succession every ten days
or two weeks" yet only the gardens
managed by gardeners hired specially
to see to such things really furnish such
SUGGESTIONS. The farmer in particulars,
is apt to neglect the garden, if he does
not forget it altogether, after the first
sowing. Perhaps it is a waste of time
to exhort him to care for the garden;
but, considering the amount which the
garden contributes to the family liv-
ing, it seems as though it should be
worthy of better treatment.-Country
