READY FOR NEW TAX FIGHT
Realty Exchange VIII Insist on Equalization
Of County Assessments.
WILL 60 INTO COURT If NECESSARY
Tax Committee Hss Power 60 Act and
VIII MAKE showing Before the
County Board of Equal
fEarfon.

The Real Estate exchange, through its
tax committee. which carried on the suit
in favor OF a revision OF the city assess
ment Of public service corporations. will
make q fight before the county commits
sioners for q more equitable assessment OF
personal property. The COMMITTEES has not
outlined its plan Of procedure completely,
but a member who has been in close touch
with the state OF affairs said
T committee will present q much
holder front before the commissioners than
it did before the city council. We know
exactly what We are entitled to in the mat
ter Of public service corporations. at least,
and we will get it, pesceably II we can,
with litigation II we must.
1T is not the intention Of the tax com
mittee to stop with the public service cor
porntions. but we will probably take up
other personal property. II is patent TO all
who know anything about the subject that
the larger business institutions Of Omaha
and South Omaha are not paying taxes upon
the basis charged against real estate, and
we have decided that this inequality must
cease. We have not. however. arrived at
q plan Of action in this matter. It has
been suggested that a committee prepare a
petition to be presented TO the owners OF
personal property in large amounts, Civ
ing them the opportunity TO make a true
and accurate return Of all property owned
by them before we institute action before
the county commissioner.
Some would BE Honest.
Il am certain that some Of the largest
holders in the county would willingly make
an honest return II they were sure that
some one would see that all persons sim
tlarly situated will be compelled to pay
taxes on the same basis. Every man or
firm we secure voluntarily will be Of great
assistance TO US in bringing those who per
sistently attempt to shtrk taxes TO time.
This plan may not be adopted and the
committee may be forced into making
individual complaints against all forms OF
personal property. beginning with the larg-
est holders"
The matter was discussed at length in
the exchange meeting yesterday afternoon
and the committee given full power to act
The exchange further decided TO hold its
annual picnic at Arlington, June rs, and
to sell round trip tickets at 81. The picnic
COMMITTEES wac given full power TO act and
10 appoint subordinate committees.
A motion offered by A. G. Charlton, re-
questing the city TO cause signs bearing
the names Of the streets to be placed upon
corners, was adopted and a committee will
be appointed at the next meeting TO bring
the matter before the proper authorities.

Farmers Can Educate Their Eyes to
Detect Inferior Mixtures.
Commenting upon a class of feeding
stuffs bearing such brand names as
"chop feed" corn and oat feed"
"mixed feed" ETC., which lead the pur-
chaser to conclude that the mixtures
are made up of corn and oats, Messrs.
Jordan and Jenter of the Geneva IN.

They have the appearance of being

hominy feed and oat hulls are present.
The prominence of oat hulls in some
of these mixtures is seen in the large
proportion of fiber which they carry
The only grain product which supplies
fiber generously is oat bulls, and when
mixture containing a considerable
proportion of cornmeal or hominy feed
shows II per cent of fiber and upward
it is safe to conclude that oat bulls
have been introduced. The same is
true often when the fiber is less than
~ per cent.

abundant-that is, they constitute a
larger proportion of the ''chop feeds"
found in the market than was the case
when tire station first began to collect
samples of this class of goods. The
genuineness of these mixtures is seen
in part in the low proportion of fiber
which ranges between and Z per
cent, and in part in their general APP
pearance.
The presence of ground oats bulls is
made evident by a characteristic me-
chanical condition and negatively by
the absence of the crushed oat grains
1t would not be difficult for farmers to
so educate their eyes as to easily de-
tect inferior oat hull mixtures.
Cornmeal and hominy mixtures are
lighter in color than pure yellow corn
meal. Proof that this lighter color is
not caused by grinding in white corn
is difficult because chemically and mi
croscopically hominy feed is very sim
liar to the maize grain of which it was

Things Worth Knowing-ResultEe R
Three Seasons Experiments.

Things Worth ACCOMPLISHMENTS @R
Three Seasons Experiments.
According to the fourth and latest of
its interesting reports on experiments
in the tillage of potatoes, the Cornell
| On. W station has arrived at the fol-
lowing conclusions:
Intensive t1llage alone is not sufi-
Gent to produce large yield of pota-
toes. The soil upon which the pota-
toes are grown should be properly sup
piled with humus if moisture is to be
conserved through drought.
On soil well supplied with humus
the moisture may be conserved even
through a severe drought and a fair
crop of potatoes produced.
| Spraying with bordeaux mixture In
nearly every case has increased the
yield of potatoes even when blight has
not been prevalent. The practice
should become more general.
Narrowing potato land after pota-
toes are planted and before the plants
are above ground is a wise practice.
AhlChoANC may U0 OVoruOn6.
During droSght only so much tillage
is necessary as shall keep the surface
mulch loose and thoroughly dry. The
drier the surface layer of soil the
more slowly will moisture be absorbed
by it from the layers of subsurface
soil.
Spraying with bordeaux mixture
should be done thoroughly.
Pruning potato vines to one main
stem was not beneficial.
Potato machinery, while not yet per-
fected, has reached such a degree of
perfection that where potatoes are
grown upon any considerable area spe-
cial potato machinery should be pro-
vided. Implements should be pur-
chased which are found adapted to the
local conditions.
There is no royal road to success
with potatoes. Methods of procedure
which are applicable during one season
must be modified to meet the require.
ments of another season. Treatment
of one soil might be radically wrong
when applied to another soil. Success
will only be attained by thorough IA
miliarity with the plant and it's habits
of growth, and then conditions must
be made to meet as completely as pos
sible the requirements of the plant.

HoNEYCoMB BUILDING.

The Use of Foundation and Methods
of Attaching Comb Starters.
In a recent bulletin c. P. Gillette of
the Colorado station calls attention to
the fact that experiments have shown
that it requires about one pound Of
wax for every twenty-five pounds of
honey that is stored in the comb. The
food which Is necessary for the forma-
ton and secretion of wax in the body
OF bees Is for the most part honey, and
1t probably requires several pounds of
honey as food for worker bees to en-
able them to produce one pound of
wax. The bees which are engaged in
the secretion of wax are thereby pre-
vented from collecting honey and must
feed upon the honey collected by other
workers. Where comb honey is being
produced for the market it becomes,
therefore, problem of considerable
economic Importance to determine to
what extent and in what form wax
should be furnished the bees for their
use in building comb.
According to the present practice of
bee raisers, wax is furnished to bees
In only one general way, and that is in
the form of artificial comb foundation.
There are. however, many types of
foundation, some with a midrib only
and others with cell walls of greater or
less length outlined for the bees. The
keeper has therefore, the practical
problem of determining the kind of
foundation to use. whether with or
without cell walls and of what weight
Professor Gillettes Investigations in
dictate that it is mistake to use deep
cells in artificial foundation unless
their walls are made of the thinness of
natural cell walls. The only cell walls
which We're brought to the thinness of
natural comb were those built on foun-
dations with light base and with little
wax in the cell walls.

raj comb and comb built on artificial

A cattle distemper resembling but not
really identical with lump jaw is re-
ported by the Kansas station, which
advises isolation of the affected ami
mails from the healthy ones, although
the disease does not appear to be high

to rub the swelling in it's early stages
with a liniment of equal parts of tur-
pentine and kerosene, with camphor
gum first dissolved in the turpentine-
two ounces of the gum to half a pint of

One Thing and Another.

Broom corn is variety of sorghum
and has many of the qualities of ordi-
nary sorghum. Like sorghum in being
hardy, it is a great drought resister
and thrives under reasonably unfavor-
able conditions.
The cow is law unto herself, says
one eminent dairy authority. and farm
ers need to understand that one cow
may give profit when fed a good ra-
ton and another will not. 1t is the
value of breed over feed.
Our cows certainly gave at least
three to five quarts of milk daily more
when fed sugar beet pulp than they
did when we could not get it. More
over, they did not consume anywhere
nearly as much other course fodder.
says Michigan farmer.

and if he can make milk on anything
cheaper, like hay and corn fodder, he
is going to do it. Mr.. Walter A. Co
nant of the Rhode Island station has
lately been pursuing an untried field
of investigation bearing on this point
in study of the individuality of dairy
COWS. 1t has seemed to him that Ger
tain feeds and certain amounts of feed
have made more milk in the case OF
some cows and less milk in the case
of others.
The remarks in bulletin No. so on
the peculiarities of temperament and
habits of a dozen cows, separately re.
corded and with excellent illustrations
of each animal have lively interest
and are likely to set any farmer to
trying for better results in his own
practice. Two Of the COWS are here
pictured.
Lucretia is described as a registered
Guernsey COW, dropped Jan. 10, 1892.
Iucretia shows large intelligence even
for a thoroughbred. Lucretias dispo-
sition at present is all that could be
desired in regard to man. Again, she
is neutral in the matter of affection
and in regard to brushing and petting,
though a trifle sensitive to carding.
She will quietly domineer over any
smaller COW, seemingly taking pleasure
in keeping her from getting any water
to drink. She is a slow drinker, but
dislikes cold water. She prefers to lap
her water unless very thirsty She
rarely eats fine salt, nor does she lick
rock salt freely. Lucretia is so sensi-
tive as to shrink in milk if any one
talks to the man who is milking her.
Lucretia is ready eater of hay and
takes to corn fodder, though not show
ing eagerness for either. The effort to
keep Lucretia from fattening was a
failure.
Rotha is registered Guernsey COW,
dropped March 81, 1894. Rotha shows
the dairy temperament. Though ex-
tremely nervous, she is not rendered
so by external circumstances, for they
do not seem to trouble her. She is
not affectionate with man and does not
care to be petted or brushed and is
quite sensitive when carded. She is
a keen trickster. She lies in wait, in
conjunction with Lucretia, in the yard
about the watering tub to punch the
weaker cows. She is more ugly with
the other cows than Lucretia and
more tricky with man, though she is
not intractable and never toward man
a kicker or hooker. She eats but little
salt. She is a good. deep and ready
drinker, not stopping to lap or mind
ing the temperature of the water. She
takes to hay and corn fodder well.
Where it is practicable Mr.. Conant
recommends as economical feeding.

The Development of Handsome

The development during the past
four years of a pure black variety of
Belgian hare has illustrated the value
of variation in breeding domestic ami
mails and has demonstrated again the
possibility of perpetuating a desirable
variation. In 1898 number of pure
bred Belgian mares were purchased by
the then director of the Rhode Island
experiment station. These were of

and fats are supplied from material

METHODS OF ATTACHING COMB STARTERS.
foundations showed that the thin and
| extra thin super foundations are far
the best for the production of comb,
which will compare in quality and
| lightness with natural comb. 1t seems
certain that heavy foundations result
in combs heavier than the natural comb
and that the increased weight is due to
thicker midribs and thicker cell walls,
but more to the latter than to the for
| mer. Where the cell walls were very
| high they were not thinned down in
the process of comb building.
Experiments were tried with Il num-
Der of methods of using foundations
in sections The different methods of
attaching starters are shown in the
figure, a to g. No appreciate differ
ence was noted in comb produced by
using starters in the way shown in n,
and q. The chief advantage of using
a long narrow piece, as seen at e,
was that it had a tendency to induce
the building of worker comb through
out. 1t had, however, the disadvantage

tachment rendered it easy to be torn
loose.
Perhaps the best results We're obtain
ed by the use of long narrow piece
at the top of the section, as shown at
f. The use of small pieces of founda
tons in the lower corners, as shown at
C, gave no beneficial results. The use
Of short strips in the middle of the
bottom of the section, as shown at b,
resulted in the somewhat frmer at
tachment of the combs. Comb built
upon foundation is always tougher and
more waXy than natural comb. and the
bases of the cells are darker in color.
Since a thick comb has but one mid
rib and the walls of the cells are heav-
lest nearest the midrib. it is evidence
that a thick comb will contain relative
ly less wax and more honey than thin
comb. In order to secure comb honey,
therefore, with the least possible
amount of wax it is necessary to have
it built in sections that will permit the
greatest thickness of comb.
