Higher Than Those of the

CHARGE UNFAIR TREATMENT

A charge that the District Assessors
have performed their work unfairly is
implied in resolution adopted by the
Petworth Citizens Association at its
last meeting, and presented 10 the Dis
trict Commissioners. II is urged that
the assessors should without fear or
faVoritism assess all property in con-
formity with, law, and the Commission
ers are asked to secure an honest, Just,
and lawful assessment.
The resolution has been referred by
Commissioner West TO Assessor OAR
nellie.
Tax ON Small Homes.
IT was set forth in the preamble that
the assessment OF property for the past
thirty years had been unjust in that
small homes ranging IN value from S1V0
TO SO. go have been assessed from 70 to
so per cent higher in proportion 70 value
than land valued at $4,000 TO S5000e0 or
more. 1t Is also alleged that instead
of observing the present assessment
law, which provides that all land, inl-
provements and personal property shali
be assessed at two-thirds Its true
value, the assessors have assessed
in. provements 100 per cent more In
proportion to value. than land, large
tracts having been assessed at from
one-fifth to one-tenth of the true value,
thus imposing an unjust burden on the
owner and renter of small homes

A Starry NJ Ole RulI.

Few tales are told which are finer
than that of the encounter in earlier
years with the old Bernadotte himself.
The king had referred to the Norwe-
gians as my Poles," at which Ole Bull,
drawing himself up, inquired, When
has a Norwegian shown himself dis
loyal to the king?" Then, without
waiting for an answer, he announced
that he must at once take leave. Upon
this the king turned to him with an
imperious Il command you to stayw
But the violinist shrugged his Shout
ders and replied, ''Then | will see, sire,
whether a Norwegian remains free in
the palace of the king Of Sweden" AT
this, as Ole Bull would tell when re-
counting the scene, there came into the
face of the monarch the most winning
smile he had ever seen on a human
countenance, and, putting out his hand
impulsively, Bernadotte exclaimed
may, l beg you to remain. A prince
should hear the opinions of all his peo-
pie" And the talk which then resulted
was the basis of deep confidence on
both sides.-Century.

The successful dairyman tries to
keep large supply of succulent food
for his cow the year round. For win
ter feeding alfalfa and clover hay are
two of the best foods that the dairy
man can grow. 1t takes about so
per cent Of the food a COW consumes
to maintain her, and we should get
our profits from the extra food con-
sumed, so we can see the necessity Of
giving an abundant supply of food 1t
has been demonstrated in q number Of
places that cows coming in in the fall
will give about % per cent more milk
than cows coming in in the spring.
The reasons for this are obvious. Dur
ing the flush of her milk the cow is
free from flies, heat and draft. The
grass comes on in the spring and
stimulates her waning powers. In con-
nection with this there is more time
for caring for the cows than during
the busy season, and prices are usually
better
The great drawback with many for
winter dairying is poorly constructed
barns. A cow to do her best must be
we'll housed as we'll as we'll fed It
takes extra food to supply heat and
energy. Complaint has been made
that dairying is combining. Did you
ever hear of any one making a sue
cess in life without work? Our likes
and dislikes depend largely upon the
amount of remuneration we receive.
Dairying furnishes employment on the
farm for the boys and girls, and this
means better men and women.
have no Particular choice as to the
kind of COWS to keep. This is good
deal like man getting a wife-it de-
ponds largely on the kind he prefers.
If you are going to keep cows ex-
clusively for butter, the Jersey, Guern-
sey and Holstein are desirable breeds.
II you are going to take into consid-
GRAFTON the value of calf, which
seems quite necessary in our trade, the
milking strain of the ShorthOrn meets
the requirements as we'll as any. The
only reliable test for a COW is the
amount Of butter she produces. If she
does not produce 225 pounds of but
ter fat per year, she is not a desirable
cow to keep. In building up herd
it is quite necessary to select sires
from the best milking strain-From an
