A. committee will appear before the
city council at its regular meeting next
Tuesday afternoon asking that the pro,
posed cotton oil mill be exempted from
taxation for Eve ./ears. That body will
we feel sure, readily accede to the re-
quest, but it should go farther. All new
manufacturing enterprises, of every char
rcter, should be exempted from taxation
for period of at least five years, and we
hope to see city council take such action
We believe the passage of such an ordi-
nance would be money in our pockets IN
the long run, and that the taxpayers are
heartily in favor of such exemption.

Turf, Farm and Home: A recent
writer In referring to the short life of
many poultry plants is at loss to know
why il is so. The reason Is not hard To
fiud. The trouble Is that too many peo-
pie go into the poultry business as y
fad, not as business. The successful
rearing of poultry. either for eggs or for
the table, is business requiring the
strictest business principles. hen
these principles are disregarded there is
bur one result, and the reverse is equal,
true. Many people imagine that because
some one is making money IN poultry
everyone can. So they go ahead and
put up a costly hennery, purchase ex
pensive birds and sit quietly down ald
expect to see the returns come in as fast
u, he neighbours who has been 10 the
business for years--long enough at Least
to recognize the fact that good buildings
and fine birds are but the machinery for
doing the business which must receive
the closest attention every day OF the
week ard every week IN the year, in
order to be a success.
