TAXATION APPEALS.
Telephone Companies Say Their Bust
ness il unavoidable.

The State Tax Board heard from several
telephone companies regarding their as
ssssments yesterday. Charles Martinddle.
representing the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. whose assessment had
been raised from $4,000 to $S2S, 600 said the
increase probably had been made under
the belief that the company did a local
business. This he said was not the case
and the business was not yet profitable
It's business. he said, was interstate. The
board said IL had been under the impression
that the company did a local business.
Eli Marvin, president OF the Frankfort
Telephone Company, said the assessment
on that company was unreasonable be-
cause the company was not doing a profit
able business. He said the City Council
of Frankfort would be asked to grant an
increase IN the rates, which are now 20
cents a month for residences and 81 80 for
commercial use. Mr.. Marvin said the tele-
phone business had been placed on an
abnormally Low basis and that If substan-
tial Increases in rates were not authorized
his company. for one. would have TO cease
business. The Lebanon Telephone Com
pany asked a reduction on the same plea
Of unprOhtableness.
:. A. Norton. OF Tifin. o. representing

ton on its assessment. He thought the
road west OF the Ohio river should not be
taxed as high as that east OF IL.

Alfalfa as a Pork Producer

The Secretary of the Kansas board of agriculture, F. D. Coburn, has writ ten valuable book on "Alfalfa, " and in reference to raising hogs he emphasizes fact of much importance to California He says: "The hog is much more of grass animal by nature than there is chance of learning when domesticated. Successful feeders know that the most profitable gains can be made on good pasture with a small allowance of grain to finish for the market,' and "alfalfa affords an ideal hog pasture, and if judiciously treated and good hogs are raised, there is no part of the farm that will give the satisfaction that the alfalfa pasture does." He claims as a well establish ed fact that "pigs weighing thirty to sixty pounds, twenty to thirty head per acre, put on alfalfa pasture in the spring will ordinarily make gain of 100 pounds each. Hogs may be left to subsist exclusively on the green alfalfa, but better results are obtained by feeding with it a small quantity of grain. Exceedingly large returns are obtained from the small quantities fed, the alfalfa being green and bulky, needs the grain to balance it's effect. The pasturage not only affords cheap growth, but the bulky character eX- bands the digestive tract of the hog, thus enabling it to utilize large quantity of feed when the finishing period comes, which is very impor- tant consideration.
 The vigorous growth of alfalfa in California, greater and better crops being raised here than in any other state in the Union, while the demand for pork is much greater in this state than in any other part of this country, the pricing always ranging high, it would seem certain that pork produced on alfalfa pasture would return big pay to the farmer.
