STATE TAX LIST FIGURES BIGGER
porae Assessments Raised by New Aehods-State Boord
Of Assessment Completes First Session.

The state board of assessment and
equalization has completed its first
session for this year and taken an ad-
journment until the 22d of the month
when any complaints in regard to their
action will be heard and considered.
The total valuations of the state will
be higher than for the past year, but
the increase will not be a great one,
as the board did not this year attempt
to use its arbitrary power in the way
OF increased valuation on general
level. The increase will be on new
property, and increases in corporate
assessments on which class of prop
erty the board outlined new methods
in several cases, notably in the mat
ter of express companies and tele-
phones. The express companies which
trary basis were placed on mileage
basis, placing them entirely on an
equality. Telephone and telegraph
valuations we're increased radically on
the ground that as this class of prop
erty pays only state tax Of 25 mills
on the dollar Of assessed valuation,
they should stand a stronger assess
ment to put them anywhere near on
equality with other classes of prop
erty which have to stand local taxa
ton.
The total increase of corporate as
sessments, including all classes of
property which come under that head
is practically $767,692 this including
raises on property which has been as
sessed in the past and new property.
The railroads stand $414,617 of this,
$4,000 Of that coming in the assess
ment for the first time of the Col
ton" road in Minnehaha county. Tele-
phones are called upon for $273,075
of this increase; telegraphs, 100000;
express companies, $4,000; and the
Pullman company, $4,000. The tele-
phone returns for the year have placed
143 telephone companies on the tax
list as against LOG which were taxed
last year.
The increase on railroads was made
in the way Of increases on branch
lines, the Milwaukee being increased
from $1,000 a mile to $4,0S2 on it's
washington branch, from $685. mile
to $3,499 a mile on it's Bowdle branch
extension; from s2.725 mile to s4,-
440 on it's Platte extension.
The Northwestern was raised from
$2,725 to $3,065 on it's Astoria branch; !;
from $3,646 to $3,S46 on it's Water
town-Gettysburg line; and reduced
from $5,252 to $5,032 on its Oakes
branch, the two hundred dollars a
nile being taken off the Oakes branch
Of 1T miles and added to the Water
town-Gettysburg branch of LAG miles.
The Omaha system was increased
from $5,S31 to s6,031 on it's 8S miles.
The Elkhorn branches were increased
on the Lead City branch from $1,000
to $3,016; and on the Bonsteel line
from 1920 to $4,560.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis was
raised from $3.597 to $4,568. The
Burlington Puma to Lead branch
from 81 900 to $3,016. The South Da-
kota Central was put on new proper
ty at $1,000 a mile, with it's twenty
miles.

THE ANNUAL PRECIPITATION.
Average Of 2o.44 Inches at Huron in
Twenty Years,

According to records in the United
States weather bureau at Huron, the
annual precipitation recorded during

20.44 inches. For the seven months
OF the present year the record is 21.29
inches, which added to the rainfall so
far during August at least % inches,
thus far in 1905. This marked increase
in the precipitation for this locality is
highly gratifying and is being widely
commented upon. The weather thus

which shows some startling co1npari
sons.
Vermont was once the granary of
New York City. Ii now produces
only one bushel of wheat for more
than zoo in Minnesota, the banner
State.
Rochester was once known as the
Flour City" Now it is called the
Flower City" But New York stiIl
raises as much wheat as Wisconsin.
MARYLAND produces more than either,
Texas nearly twice as much and
Pennsylvania three times as much.
Only eight States surpass Pennsyl-
vania in wheat-raising.
Kansas produces nearly as much
wheat as both the Dalotas, which are
much more often mentioned as wheat
States.
Only a trifle more than half OF the
wheat crop grows west of the Missis-
sippi. Illinois. Indiana and Ohio still
produce SO,000,O00 bushels, which is
more than any Far Western State,
and over one-eighth of the whole crop.
Little Delaware raises more wheat
than all New England Virginia. West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and
North Carolina raise $4,000. 600
bushels.
New York is the second fiour-mill-
Ing centre in the United States,
though far behind Minneapolis, which
can grind $4,000 barrels day.

Cleanliness is Essential.

Cleanliness cannot be too strictly
observed. The hoe should be used at
least twice a week under the perches,
and fresh sand or sifted ashes scat
tered on the floor. The perches should
be fixed so that they can be taken out
when desired. In warm weather they
should be examined particularly at
the ends and be we'll rubbed with kerr
osene. The straw in the nest boxes
should be often changed, otherwise
