We clip the following article
from the Florida Parishes, because
it fully voices orr sentiments:
"The next thing to be done is
to have the State tax reduced.
This can only be done by an act OF
the Legislature to affect the whole
State, and We earnestly urge our
law doctors to pass such a bill next
summer. All over the State as
easements have been increased,
which means more money for the
State. As it was the State had
ample funds to meet all obliga-,
tins and retire bonds besides. Now,
with q general increase in assess
ments all over the Stete, the reven-
ues of the State will be greatly
augmented. Based on the assess
ment for 1901 Tangipahoa parish
will pay about $4,000 more into the
State treasury than it did for 1901.
Suppose all the other parishes show
an increase of even one-haH this
sum it will mean an increase in the
State revenues of more thanS ESQ.,
600. We believe it better to have
high assessment all over the
State and then lower the rate OF
taxation. If the State tax is to
remain at 6 mills, we favor a low
valuation on assessable property

it is not difficult to trace many Of the

There are many scientists in the

BROWN HAIR is POPULAR.

Auburn and Blonde Tresses Have Conc
Out of Fashion.
The woman of today who desires to
be fashionable must wear brown tress
es, whether she seeks to shine upon
the stage or in society. The change is
not due to the initiative of the stage,
however. The mania for blonde hair
some years ago was most evident
among 1.-The footIight favorites. Then
came the more recent rage for all
shades and grades Of auburn hair,
OF which Zaza was the spectacular ex.
ample. The quiet, domesticated
brown hair of so many player women
today reflects the vogue for it in all
classes of society. Miss Mannering.
Miss Marlowe, Miss Anglin, Miss
Eleanor Robson, Miss Tyree, Miss
Bates and many more have won sue
cess in spite of what would once have
been considered tremendous handi
cap-brown hair. It is the blonde ac
tress-whether actually or artiicially
so-who is handicapped today. She
not only suggests the socially fast
and furious, but she is old fashioned
which is even worse. Most light
haired actresses, such as Miss Adams

made vigorous growth and were beau
ties by the time winter came. May Is
the best month to hatch Polish, Hou-
dans sof ANY OF the mon-sitters. The
chicks of the non-sitting breeds are
very sensitive to cold and are easily
Echilled and die. But when matched in
May, when the weather becomes set

The pasturage tests Of a number OF
annual forage crops made in 1898 were
with few exceptions duplicated in
1900, the intention being to note such
variation as might be induced by q
difference in climatic conultlons or In
the individual preference or aversion
OF animals for a certain feed. The
crops tested were rye, oats and peas,
Indian corn, millet, sorghum, Kafir
corn, and cowpeas, as representing the
ANNALS, also alfalfa and cwnless
brome-grass. Records were kept of the
amount Of pasturage afforded, and the
effect of the feed upon the production
OF milk and butter fat.
The following are some average re-
suits for tho two years: The crops
giving the largest amounts Of pastur-
age were rye and sorghum, Indian corn
ana millet gave less pasturage than
any of the other annual forage plants.
Alfalfa and awnless brome-grass gave
the least pasturage CT any, the former
affording considerably more than the
latter. It must be borne in mind, how
OvOAS 10~> SAAO e10Auo4o may D0 pas
tured during only certain period OF
each season, while the alfalfa and
brome-grass furnish feed early and
late. Cowpeas and alfalfa increased
most largely the yield of milk and
butter fat. Next to these came rye
oats and peas, sorghum, Kafir corn
and awnless brome-grass.
Cowpeas produced an actually great
er quantity of milk and butter fat
from a given area of land than any
other crop. A comparison was made
o. the amount of feed iproduced and
the effect upon the yield Of milk and
butter fat when certain crops were pas
tured and when they were cut and fed
The crops so tested were alfalfa, sor-
ghum, and Indian corn. In the case OF
each of these, from two to three times
as much feed was procured from q
given area Of land when the crop was
cut and fed as when 1T was pastured
The same tests indicated that the av.
erage daily production. Of milk and but
| ter fat was greater for the same feed
when it was pastured than when cut
and fed. This on an average amount.
ed to LII times greater butter tat pro.
duction from the pastured than from
