AS VIEWED IN CHICAGO.
Chicago, oct. A.-The tax decision
given today by the illinois supreme
court relates to twenty three local cor
porations enjoying municipal franchis-
es, including traction companies, gus
companies, whose total capital stock
was estimated 10 be 1855, 900, all OF
which had escaped taxation previously,
and was likely to be omitted again by
the state board, which adjourned last
December without assessing this vast
amount Of property.
The trial Of the case was begun before
Judge Thompson in Springfield. March
%, and the decision was handed down
May 2, commanding the board 70 re
assemble June 10 and assess these cor
poratons IN accordance with the rules
OF the board IN regard 70 the assessment
OF capital stock. But the board not
only neglected 10 make the assessment.
but repealed the rules of the board on
the subject which had been IN force for
thirty years, and had been sustained by
the United States Supreme Court as the
only fair and legal plan Of assessment.
What was considered the weak point
in the teachers case was that the man
damus was asked while the board was
stu I'm session and while II was pro-
testing that II meant to do the very
thing which the mandamus required.
The teachers contention was that the
board was a continuing body and that Il
had refused FOR years 10 make these as
sessments. and that II mandamus
could not issue until after the board had
adjourned Il might as well never be is-
sued al all. and there was absolutely no
way 10 comnel the board 10 perform lts
manifest duty. The teachers View OF
the case seems 20 have been sustained
by the supreme court.
Broad as Is the sweep OF this decision
I'm itself, its logical results are much
greater az the decision. II Is said. really

wnicn I1a. reference 10 hens.

" men kAAS 10 kAGn0s
More farmers who keep hens at all
harbor too many than too few. Because
. certain number Of hens produce a GER
tain result is no evidence that double
that number will double the profit. The
number OF hens that can be proftably
kept on a certain area OF ground is linn
tied. 1t has cost thousands of dollars to
tand this out by those who have gone In
to the poultry business on a large scale.
As farming operations are conducted In
this country, 100 hens are as many as
can proftablY be handled. The fact
that they are allowed to scratch out
their own living and wander at will the
most OF the time cuts no figure what
ever. Fifty hens carefully looked after.
will produce more eggs, and not one-
fourth the loss by disease, as twice that
number on the ordinary farm. Eastern
pOultrymen who make q specially OF the
business divide their flocks into punches
Of twenty-five or so and keep them sep
arate on different parts OF the farm.
1t il better to breed bnt one variety
and stick to it. A mongrel hen will lay
we'll the first year. and II a cross. bred
from two standard varieties, will always
be a good layer. But the produce from
that hen are scrubs and not worth the
room they take.
The flock should be carefully looked
over every fall and weeded out, espec.
tally all the cocSerels. and only these
kept over from which 1t is desired to
breed from. 1t is better to introduce
fresh blood every spring and not keep
over any ROSTERS. The young cockerels
are a nuisance in the fall and q detri-
ment to the laying quality Of the flock.
Get rid OF them, either by selling or
when company comes o. Sunday. Same
through the winter with the hens that
do not add to the profit of the egg basket.
As pullets approach maturity 1t is an
easy matter to select the test layers. A
good laying hen shows the points just as
much as a trotter or a good milking COW
does theirs. An active hen, first of the
roost and last to 90 on at night, is al
ways q good layer. In the heavier
breeds. such as the Plymouth Rocks,
Cochins, Brahmas, and SO forth, select
those that have, in addition to The activ-
ity mentioned, slim necks, with q small.
throat and a clean cut head. A dumpy
looking hen is always a dumpy layer.
There is something blood-like about a
good laying hen, as Of a fine horse or
good COW. By carefully selecting the
best hens. wedding out the poor stock
and placing with the flock from time to
time a full blood rooster, a strain OF fine
layers can be produced; and with the
large breeds, heavier birds for the mar

The Grout Bill In CONGRESS.

This Is a measure of the utmost i'm
portance to the creamery Interests of the
west, of which South Dakota is an i'm

ference to it:

Mr.. knight is the editor of the Chicago
Produce, the leading creamery period
ical OF the west, also secretary Of the
Dairy Union, and has been the most ac-
tive and persistent worker for this bill.
Mr.. Knight is an old acquaintance and
personal friend of the editor of The
GRAPHIC. His suggestions were proper
ly complied with.
The Circuit till is one intending to put
a heavy tax-15 cents per pound we
think-on oleomargarine il colored in
imitation of butter. The dairymen are
willing that the packing ,5aases should
make all the oleo they please II they will

colored, but as sold at the present time
millions Of pounds Of it are sold by I'M
%scrupulous dealers in large cities as gen.
ulne creamery butter, cutting into the
price of the latter product accordingly.
If the sale Of oleomargarine could DO cut

manent advance of creamery butter sew.
eral cents per pound.
There has been a tremendous effort of
the friends Of the. bill to get it to a vote
in the senate the past few days, before
the close OF the session. The bill has al
ready passed the house. The packing
industries are of course spending their
thousands to prevent its becoming a law.
The butter output of the United States
exceeds the total value of grain raised
by more than $5p,0O0,OOo. So it will b.
seen how widespread is the evil of imi-
tation butter.
