Harrison Conrad, a we'll known news.
paper writer of Flagstaff, is polling the
press OF the territory on the subject
of the repeal Of the poll tax law as a
voting qualification. The poll tax law
Ia this territory has been made the
scapegoat of the politicians and, of
course, will be repealed. The law j. a
meritorious one and ought to remain
on the statute books, but the eighteen
democrats in the house and the uine 10
council will waive aloft twenty seven
measures for the repeal of the act and
try to obtain the first recognition of
the presiding officers almost before
the Legislature has been fully organ
lied. A poll tax Is voting qualifica-
ton in many states and is neces sit v
in this territory where 20 many people
refuse to pay their school tax. IL the
officers had done their duty this year
no one would have thought of the tax.
but having allowed the tax to 90 un-
collected until the voter came up to
register, brought the fact home to all
that they were paying for the priv
ilege of voting, or thought they we're.
The fact Is they were simply contrib
uting toward the support of the schools
and ought to have paid the bill early
in the year. The fact that we are op,
posed TO the repeal of this law will
make little difference, but still we are
opposed to it.

Phoenix is mourning because of the
failure of its fiesta. The capital city
has no cause to mourn on this behalf,
because the time was not ripe for an
exposition of the kind. Had the com
mittee awaited the convening of the
legislators many people would have
been drawn there to see that animal
show as well as the fiesta and therefore

depends The permanency of many of
our institutions, as all these institu-

ability of the territory, aud under the
present form the officers are badly
ham pered in the collection of revenue.
Under statehood the railroads would
have to paw their jnSt proportion of
tax, which in some cases they now
shirk, and from this sour ce alone the
five northern counties would derive
enough additional tax to maintain the
county governments. Looking at the
matter from this standpoint, why

II is recommended that a Calf's di-
gestlve system be developed by feed
ing n good diet OF coarse fodder This
will have a tendency to increase the
stomach capacity, and in the end in
crease the cows capacity for convert
ing considerable amounts Of feed into
milk and butter. This does not mean.
however, that condensed feed should
be entirely avoided. 1t seems TO the
writer of these comments that fully
four-fifths Of the dalrymen are t.
favor of having a heifer drop her first
calf near her second birthday. In
other words breed them when past
their first years growth. This Is, of
course. strictly for the dairy animal
and the cow whose life is to produce
butter fat. | note that one prominent
writer recommends that great care be
observed in breaking heifer TO milk
TO see that she Is treated kindly at all
times. If abused in any way she is in
cllned TO hold back her milk, and the
results are unfavorable TO her dcyel-
opment as a mixer. This is said to be
more particularly true during her first
year. Her life habits are then just be-
ginning to become liked. 1t Is best that
one person should milk a heifer con-
tinuously If possible. She becomes ac-
customed to persons habits. and the
mixer understands her more thor
oughly as he becomes accustomed -
her. The result Is that both being bet
ter acquainted get along the best to-
gether. Thi. Is true OF all cows but
most strikingly true Of the heifer with
her first calf just learning to be
MIXED. Regularity in milking should
be encouraged. Have an hour night
and morning convenient as possible
and adhere TO IL as closely as possible
ut all times The heifer soon becomes
to expect To be MIXED at n certain
time night and morning, and when the
time has passed she begins to become
uneasy. - c. l.. Reynolds in The Epit.
omlst.
