Tax Exemption Eli.
Morgan Messenger.

The new bill exempting $500 personal
property from taxation instead Of $500
ought to receive the Endorsement of
every fair minded man. AS taxes are
now collected, the poor man or one IN
moderate circumstances pays more than
his share toward the maintenance of a.
government The bill, Of course, will
not tighten the burden of the average
man, but by making such a law a de-
ficicncy will be created which must be
filed, and as a result some plan is bound
to be adopted which will corral the rich
and compel the to do their part.
There are thousands OF dollars of per-
sonal property in this county alone which

The Republican national platform of

that no attempt has been made to secure
reciprocity and for very good reasons.

Peat 20. Pasture an. meaaov.

From Farmers Review: The ulti-
ity and great value of a peat bog in
a large rrsture for cattle are not gen
orally understood. I have noticed nu-
merous such bogs in my travels by
rail and wagon. Often they are sur
face ditched until fall of 5 feet to
the mie is obtained. Cattle will
tramp the ditch bottom in hot weather
to cool their feet and muddy their
tails to switch flies. They will SO
tramp its bottom that the next strong
shower will carry off the loosened soil
until hard-pan or hard rock Is reached.
Retramping will make pits in the
stream, which soon become little wa
terfalls and later large ones, until the
recoil of falling water undermines the
water course.
Bog pasture has much alluvial de-
posit among its peat, producing a
fodder that is astingent and that will
counterfeit any acrid plants that may
grow in other parts of the field. AS

Glass Test of Paris Green.

A very simple test, which will enable
one to distinguish good proportion
of adulterated samples at once, includ-
ing many of those not detachable with
ammonia, is to take very small por-
ton Of Paris green-what one could
easily pick up on the point of pen
knife-place this upon piece of glass
at an angle: Earring the lower edge
will cause the little pile of green to
move down the inclined surface, leav-
ing behind it bright green track, if
the sample is pure; but in the case
of many adulterated or impure sam
pies, the track would be white or pale
green The glass test is particu-
larly useful in comparing number of
samples, and after one has acquired
some experience it becomes quite re-
liable. 1t does not enable one to de-
tect the recent forms of arsenic adul-
terations, and, like the ammonia test
should never be considered as conclu-
sive evidence of purity.

Crop Conditions

OF either rain or snow which have
furnished an abundance of moisture.in
all parts Of the United States save
central and western Texas, where rain
Is much needed. These precipitations
coupled with cold weather have con-
siderably delayed spring work
But little progress with corn plant
ing has been made since the first of
the month, except in the extreme
southern districts, where it is nearing
completion in some sections. Slow
termination and poor stands are gen.
orally reported from the southern
states.
A general improvement in the con-
dition of winter wheat is reported, ex-
cept in portions of Ohio, Illinois, Okla
homa, and Texas, where damage by
insects is more or less apparent, the
last named state reporting unfavorable
effects of drought. On the Pacific
coast the outlook for winter wheat
continues promising, but the crop
needs rain over large part of Cali
fornia. Some spring wheat has been
sown in portions of Iowa, Nebraska
and southern Minnesota, but none has
yet been sown in the Red River val
ley.
Oats seeding is well advanced as far
north as the Ohio valley, and some
seeding has been done in Nebraska
In the east gulf and south Atlantic
districts the outlook is promising, but

Care Of the Feet.

Il is quite easy to tell if your feet
are the proper size. Every person.
unless deformed, has a bone of the
exact normal length of the foot, and
by comparison the largeness or small
ness of the foot can be seen. The
foot in length should be the length Of
ulna, bone in the forearm which ex-
tends from lump in the outer por-
ton of the wrist to the elbow: OF
course, the ulna is longer in tall PEG
pie, and SO to be graceful the foot
should be also. Most people would be
surprised to hear that the foot should
be as long as the forearm, and would
be inclined to dispute the fact unless
proved by experience. Large women
pinch their feet in tight shoes because
they are ashamed to have them In
proportion to their bodies. Thus in
time they deform them until they are
out of all proportion to the body, and
sometimes In the direction they do
not intend.

the enthusiasts who crowd around the
