Des Moines, Nov. 27.-The city's share
OF the mulct tax on cigarets, which is
now due from every dealer In the city
who has been handling cigarets since
Oct. 4. will amount TO between $4,000
! and $4,000. The city receives one-haif
of the tax collected. It 10 estimated that
200 retail dealers in the city have been
handbag coffin nails" and each one will
be asked to pay the quarterly SIS.
"a Many Of the smaller merchants are
! not aware that they must pay the tax.
and think that by discarding cigarets
at once they will be able to escape q
large part Of the three months tax, but
such Ii not the case, and II cigarets have
been sold one day OF the three months
the dealer must pay for the whole quar-
ter.
I'VE have nothing to do with the coll
lecting OF the tax = said City Treasurer
III. :. Gross. yesterday. .as that Is all
done at the county Office. but the city
\ gets one-half OF the receipts and we fig-
ure that our share will be near $4,000.
Those VINO did not settle for the tax the
! first OF October will find that penalty
OF 9l6 has been added since, and think
you will md that most OF the dealers
VIII have to nut up $50 instead Of $50.
We estimate that 300 people will have to
pay the tax and II that Is correct the
city's share viii exceed $12, 000.''
The campaign to collect the cigaret
tax will no doubt be the means Of stop
i ping the sale in most OF the smaller
stores. None Of the outside stores or
small cigar shops can afford to pay the
tax unless the price Of cigarets Is
I doubled or thribbied. and experience in
the past shows that rather than meet so
great an advance In price smokers will
take to rolling cigarets themselves.

Variety and Exercise.

If three feeds per day are given, be
careful to not overfeed, giving only
what will be eaten up clean each feed.
In early morning a warm mash Of
shorts and vegetables, such as potato
parings, with turnips and pumpkin,
and whatever comes to hand, minced
cabbage, and, above all, minced
onions, which are especially to be
recommended; the pungency of the
onion is an aid toward keeping their
bodies free from lice.
At noon a light repast or oats,
wheat and barley or millet, scattered
broadcast in the feding room is sufi-
cient. Dry leaves or straw is a good
carpeting upon which to scatter the
grain, and scratching for it gives them
the exercise witch is necessary to their
well-doing. Fowls in confinement are
apt to become dull, spiritless and slug
gish, and exercise becomes necessary
hang head of cabbage just within
reach by jumping for it.
Whole corn is best to give at night,
but if your fowls are of Asiatic origin,
do not deal out corn with a lavish
hand. The sweepings of the barn floor,
clover hay, cut fine and mixed with
the warm mash, are relished.-Mrs.
A. G. Mcpherson, Athens Co. o., in

CLEANING Sheep Stables.

Experienced sheep men are inclined
to lay the habit of wool biting"
among sheep to the irritation caused
by heated gas coming in contact with
the skin. Flocks that are not winter
ed in shelters seldom, If ever, show
any effects of trouble with the skin,
and the same Is apparently true with
those wintered in sheds which are
cleaned during the season as occa-
sion requires. The trouble seems to
come almost entirely from sheep quar-
tered on accommodating manure which
is started in the early winter and con-
tinues to collect
Some farmers assert that three
are quite sufficient, one in January,
the second the latter part of February
and the third in April. But the time
of cleaning must depend on the situa-
tion of the sheds and yards, and the
number of sheep confined.
Some farmers save their sheep ma
nure made during the winter to use
as top dressing on their wheat ground
in the fall, and where this is desirable
It will be obviously impossible to clean
the stables two or three times during
large number of sheep are confined
in comparatively close quarters, and
1t is possible to clean occasionally, it
will pay. Where one has straw that
is wasting the amount of manure can
be easily increased according to the
quantity of bedding used.

WATERING COWS.
Important information From an Au.
thentic Source.

Important Information From an Au.
thentic Source.
In some sections creameries are
paying nearly, if not quite, as much
for butter fat as a few months ago,
and the price for farm made butter
has correspondingly advanced. Now
is a time when it will pay to force
COWS to the highest practical yield.
Water is as essential as feed in milk
production, and a dairy COW having
insufficient water will give low yield
no matter what she is fed. Besides
the water needed to make up the 9TH
er fluids of the body, about 81 per
cent. of the milk is water; and expert
ments have shown that cows giving
the most milk and those giving rich
milk must have the most water.
Where the stall is fitted with one of
the self-watering devices, that places
a constant supply of fresh water be-
fore the COW all the time, she will
drink 10 to 20 times each 24 hours,
taking only small quantity at time,
and numerous trials have shown that
best yields of milk are obtained when
the cow can drink in this way. In
many cases the increased milk yield
obtained from this method of water
ing has paid, in a single season,
Where this system is not used, the
cows should be watered twice daily
and watered under shelter if possible
either in the stable or from a
trough protected by a shed. When
COWS are exposed to winds or storms
in going to water, even if the expo
sure is short, the milk yield is often
cut down 25 per cent. for several days
afterward, and tho loss is not infre.
quently more. If such exposure is
made for several days in succession,
the milk yield is usually reduced for
the remainder of the milking season.
1t will often pay to haul water to dairy
COWS during storms, if it cannot be
given to them otherwise without ey.

There is undoubtedly is.Cs tf3t
among Western stockmen to favor asi.
plan which will enable them 10 fer CO
the range and keep their cattle and
sheep within bounds. This plan seen
a fair one and it is attracting some in
teIest from stockmen. There are I'M
doubleday large tracts of the said lenls
that can be reclaimed by proper irriga,
ton works., and if the possession of the
lands that cannot be irrigated was
made to depend upon the possession of
a few acres that are under water, it
might have the effect of squirting capi-
tai toward building more storage reser-
voirs and other irrigation works.

HORSES.
The Kind to Raise and the Present
Price.


Every farmer who has a farm of
from forty to sixty acres ought to
grow at least one colt. and as many
more as his farm will accommodate
each year. If you raise a horse for
your own use, the market you supply
with that horse in your home mar
ket; then raise exactly what you want
and of you haven't the horse you like
you have nobody to blame but your
self; but if you are to raise horses
to put on the market, study the mar
ket and find out what it demands.
For a number of years the market
has been demanding either a draft
horse or a good coach or carriage
horse; these two breeds. If you are to
raise horses, always aim to raise the
best, as, with horses as well as any
other kind of stock, that which tops
the market brings the greatest profit
to the producer And there will be
enough that do not come up to this
high standard to fill all the places for
the so-called general purpose horse.
The general purpose horse can be
procured anywhere in the market at
from fifty to seventy-five dollars at
the present time; that is, the general
purpose horse that will weigh from
1900 to 1900 pounds. AS this horse
increases in size the price increases,
and the greater the size the more
rapid the price increases, until you
get up to the horse that weighs 2,10O
bounds, that sell as high as $3.50. In
regard to other horses there is not one
farmer in twenty who is situated so
that it would be wise to go into rails
ing coach horses.
1t takes little more skill, a little
more time and little more care but
II you dislike the draft horse and
think that it is a clumsy, awkward
creature, by all means raise the coach
or carriage horse, for you will take
better care of him. If you are going
to do so, study the market and find
out what it wants.
With regard to draft horses, if you
study the market reports carefully
you will find that all breeds are sell
ing well. The English and the Scotch
buyers prefer the Clydes or English
Bhires. The French and German ex-
porters prefer a clean-limbed horse,
but there is a market for each and all
breeds. Select the breed you like
pest stick to it, and always aim for
the top.

Profit in SUGAR Beets.

For sugar beets, any land that is in
a fair state of cultivation will raise
16 to 20 tons of beets with an aver.
age of IA per cent. sugar worth under
the Michigan state law $466 per ton.
Here is our method of raising this
amount of tonnage to the acre. In
the fall pillow 10 inches wide, or 8
inches deep. In the spring use a
spring-tooth harrow or any tool that
will work the soil fine. In week
work it again, followed with smooth
ing harrow. Sow the rows 20 inches
part, 10 pounds of seed to the acre.
when beets form the fourth leaf cut
out with hoe so as to leave one beet
6 or 8 inches apart in thinning. Then
start the cultivator and keep it going
until the growth of leaves stops furth-
er progress. Do not cultivate so as
to break the leaves, as those are the
sugar producers. Stop work unless
some stray weeds show, then pull
them. When the under leaves turn
yellow the beets are ready for pulling.
Go along each row with a subsoil, fol-
low with boys or men in pulling,
throwing or 8 rows together. Top
the beets by cutting from where the
first leaf starts. Throw them in bas-
kets and draw to the factory. An
acres of beets cost: Rent, Sc, blowing
and subsoiling 2, narrowing twice 1,
sowing seed so cents, seeds 1.50, hand
thinning 5, horse cultivating, four
times, 1.50; hoeing twice 2, pulling
and topping 8, drawing to factory, 21a
miles, Is tons, 8; total, $3.50. The
Is tons per acre from my land, at
$4.66 2-3, brings $S4; deducting $3.50,
leaves a profit of $47.5O.-John H.

GARDEN AND FIELD,
Grapevines as Ornamental Porch
Flowers.

A good deal is written about elena.
tbs, wistaria and other well-known or.
namental climbers; but the fact re-
mains that thousands of farmhouse
porcheS are as bare in summer as an
apple tree is in winter. Why? Well,
that's question for some one else to
answer-the vineless verandas are
there; and our one purpose just now
Is to humbly suggest an easy and in
expensive way of filling the aching
void"
Some farmers seem to have an in
nate dislike to sending away to a
nursery for ornamental stock with I'm.
familiar names and unknown habits.
To such farmers-and to many others
I'VE say, plant a few grapevines
around that bare porch. A while ago
we submitted a photograph to the
Ohio Farmer readers, showing the pos
sibility of comon hop vine as an or
namental climber. A great mass Of
thick leaves completely covering the
porch or house is not-except in Ger.
tain cases-the most artistic or salts.
factory method of vine ornamentation.
A graceful, clinging suggestion of foil.
age is often more pleasing to the eye,
more sanitary, and more tasty than a
full supply would be.
If the porch is not covered quite
enough to suit everyone's notion of
such things, yet to our own fancy, too
little foliage is better than too much
unless thick screen is really needed
for either shade or privacy. In one
instance photograph shows the farm
house of one of our neighbors-a
house set back from the road and am.
ply screened and shaded by a multi.
tude of noble trees. The tree direct.
ly in front is larch, than which there
is no mare graceful example of ma.
lures art; tall, shapely and rich-grow.
ing, the larch should be found Though
1t seldom is so found) in every collec.
ton of shade trees.
OF course, it is not the time to be
planting vines or trees now-but it
is splendid time to be thinking about
1t, and making up ones mind what is
to be done when the proper season
does arrive.-W. E. Andrews, in Ohio
