THE TAX QUESTION.

Tom Johnson, who won his fight
for Mayor of Cleveland on the tax
proposition proposes to push the tax
question to the front and make 1t
national issue. His idea is to make
the big corporations pay their just
proportion of taxes. Regarding this
proposition the Mayor is not lacking
in vigorous speech.
1--WE have wou the fight in Cleve-
land for just taxation, and we have
won In Ohio" he said. before the
next Presidential election comes
around l honestly believe that its
staunchest plank and one Of its strong
est is: ues and arguments a demand
for reappraisement of all steam rail-
road properties in the United States.
1.-The idea, which is new in Ohio
has been taken up by politicians of
both parties. and at the coming
election the legislator who is running
for Office must 60 our way on the tax
question or get out OF business. This
is an absolute fact.
"Ohio is stirred up on the questisn
of steam railroads and the low tax
alton of other public service proper
ties as it has never been stirred before.
The sentiment against the dishonest
granting of privileges in the matter of
low taxation has developed into a
tidal wave, and 1 predict that It will
sweep thefcountry."
The organs of few wealthy tax
dodgers on this state are threatening
tax officials with the displeasure o.
the tax dodgers and intimating tina,
they will take it into politics The
rank and file of the tax payers OF
Nevada have nothing but welcoming
arms for such an issue as this.
The Silver and Democratic party
in the last legislature stood by thei
pledges TO the people in which the,
promise the poor man with small holt
ings that he would not be taxed great
CT in proportion than his rich neigh
Dor and the revenue law was passe'
in accordance with these pledges.
The honest tax payers Of Nevad
are greater numerically than tn
wealthy tax dodgers and can swee
them out Of sight by two to on
majority at the pools. If these peopl
want a political battle over this ques
ton the sooner they pitch their caste
into the ring the bett-r.

If Schly is convicted of destroying
Caveras fleet at Santiago it would
seem only fair to punish Dewey for
a similar offense at Manila. 1t is q
serious thing to win a naval battle

It would seem however that the

Care Of Young Turkeys.

Doubtless many farmers wives and
daughters have trouble rearing young
turkeys. I have been so successful
that I will relate my experience. AS
soon as the turkeys are taken from
the nest, give each one grain of black
pepper and be sure that each turkey
swallows it, then feed cheese curd
made of clabber milk. In short time,
in addition to the cheese, give chopped
onion tops and hardboiled egg shells
and eggs mashed together. Later
pound mussel shells very find and keep
where they can get them all the time.
If possible, have a turkey hen with
little turkeys rather than chicken
hen. Have large, dry coop for them,
and do not turn the little turkeys out
until they are two weeks old.-Mrs. NJ.
j. Musgrave, in Epitomist.

ITO. Be Continued.1
Nice Turkish CustOms

Ii is said by correspondent of tho
London Telegraph that the habits Of
the Turkish ladies in Constantinople
are wonderfully fastidious. When
they wash their hands at a tap from
which water runs into q marble basin.
they let the water run till servant
shuts it off, as to do this themselves
would make them unclean. They can
not open or shut door, as the han
die would be unclean.
One Of these fastidious ladies was
talking to a small niece the other
day, who had just received present
of doll from Paris. By and by the
child laid the doll on the lady's lap.
She was Mortified, and ordered the
child to take it away. -.
AS the little girl would not move it..
and no servant was near, and the
lady would be defled by touching a
doll. that had been brought from
abroad, the only thing she: could
think of was to jump up and let tho
doll fall. It broke in pieces. -.
The same lady will not open a let
ter coming by post, but a servant
opens it and holds it near for her to
read. If her handkerchief falls to
the ground it is Immediately de-
stroyed or given away, so that she
may not again use it. Among the
men this curious state Of things doas
not exist. ~ =::. .=...

HELPING WEAK COLONIES.
How to Do Away with One of the
Direct Causes of the SO-Called
Spring Dvindling.

When the fall flow of nectar is light
the bees dicontinue brood rearing
early, and consequently go into winter
quarters very light in number, and
rather old to insure successful winter
ing. This is one Of the direct causes
Of the so-called spring dwindling. 1t
must be prevented by late brooding.
Those who leave their bees to starye
in a poor season are not deserving of
honey in good one.
TO obtain the best results from our
bees they should be fed to stimulate
brood rearing, so that our colonies
will be very strong at fruit bloom.
To do this we must begin to feed as
early as the weather will permit the
bees to fly at least once week. Some
mild day soon after removing them
from the cellar, all colonies should
be closed on what combs they will
cover with sufficient stores to last
two or three weeks, placing the I'M
occupied combs in the outside of the
follower.
When feeding time arrives prepare
your feed, either poor grade of
honey, maple sirup. or better still
granulated sugar, which should be
about the consistency of newly gath
cred honey. If sugar is used the pro-
portion is equal parts of sugar and
water. 1t may be fed without heat
ing, but I prefer to bring it to scald
and to put it in the combs and feed
while milk warm. Take the combs
to be used, uncapping what honey
they contain, and fill the empty por-
ton with the sirup. Rest the comb
over the tank in slanting position
with the top bar up and dip the strip
on it with dipper having perforated
bottom. Place one comb next to the
cluster once a week. removing the one
given last.-Orange Judd Farmer.

THINKS IT WILL PAY.
Secretary Wilson Is Anxious to RE-
vive Interest in the Cultivation
of Silk Worms.

Secretary Wilson, of the depart
ment of agriculture, is determined to
revive Interest in the cultivation Of
silkworms and mulberry trees in the
United States, and the sum of $4,000.
which he has asked congress to give
him to develop silk culture in the Unit
ed States for preliminary test and
Investigation, will be spent with
view of interesting every man and
woman in the country who has some
spare time for the work in the plant
ing of mulberry trees and the care Of
| silk worms.
If the appropriation asked for is
| granted Secretary Wilson will turn his
attention first to the south, on ac-
count of the large amount of cheap
labor to be procured there. If the
results in the south are at all satis-
factory then the men, women, and
even the children will be appealed to
by the government to lend hand in
establishing a new industry.
after congress authorizes the
start said Secretary Wilson, ~ shall
be ready to furnish the necessary sup
plies to anyone wishing to make the
experiment of silk culture. The work
is about all done in the spring, and if
my plans carry, by next spring every
member of congress will have at his
disposal so mulberry trees to be given
away to his constituents. I think it
likely that I shall call upon Booker
T. Washington to help me at the start
through his great industrial school
at Tuskegee, Ala. He is ready there
to take hold of the experiment and do
much in short time in educa ting the
public in silk culture.
$50 far as am concerned, know
silk culture can be made success in

The HOG Takes the Cake.

We believe the hog is justly en-
titled to the distinction which the
name mortgage lifter'' confers upon
him. If statistics were obtaina BILE
we have no doubt they would show
that more farm debts have been paid
with money received from sales of
hogs than from any other source. We
well remember when hogs were SELL
ing as low as three dollars per hum
dred, and many farmers know that
they made some profit at that figure
on their herds. The hog comes very
near illustrating the statement that
money grows. With proper MANAGE

FeedinE RaDc to Lambs.

Wool Markets and Sheep gives the
following advice about feeding rape
to lambs: Before beginning to feed
rape, dock and trim the tails of
lambs. If they have been on poor
pasture feed grain on pasture for
week before beginning to feed, and
accustom them to the rape gradually.
Put them on pasture in the forenoon,
at first for short time, gradually
increasing the time. Watch the
lambs; if any show swelling of
stomach, take them from the field.
In weeks time the pasture feeding
in the morning can be reduced to two
hours. Do not feed con rape alone,
under any circumstances, as it al
lambs.
