population Of the city will probably
be materially decreased by a ruiliBg
made by City Attorney John T.
Baker, at whose suggestion the city
assessor is readiusting his books in
order to assess live stock owned by
residents in this city, although it
may be on the owners farms in the
country, as personal property sub
iect to city taxes. The ruling will in
crease the revenue Of the city several
Thousand dollars annually.
Within the past few years many Of
the wealthier farmers and stock
raisers OF Audrian county have

count, principally, of the excellent
school facilities, but retain the
ownership and management, through
overseers, OF large farms. 1t is
thought possible that the action of
the city authorities in the matter Of
personal taxes may result in mauy
OF the citizens returning to their
farms, although most OF them own
fine residences.

"Prairie hay is the best kind Of
roughness for horses" said an old
farmer in the Fulton Gazette. "For
the last fifteen years | have been
shipping 1t in from my farm in Gen.
tral Kansas and feeding it to my
stock. 1t will stop heaves, and a
horse will drive further on prairie
hay than on any other forage. All
the fast horseman use il, and the
liverymen know Of it's good qualities
and use 1t when they can get II, in
preference to any other other kind.
James Leavel had q heavey mare
that he cured by feeding prairie hay
he got from me, and T. q. Britt, Of
this place, Strengthened out an old
horse that was ailing by using the
same kind OF feed. It costs more
other hay here, the price in barn be.
ing $40 per ton, but Ellsworth more.

more to him than a field Of clover" I"

are paying 20 per cent more for steel
bridges and buildings, and for that
matter, for every other articles OF

they would il our ports were open to

"Steel as it comes from the Ameri-
can rolling mills now cost SLIGO a
hundred pounds. Years ago the
same quality Of steel made big
profit when sold for 81 a hundred
pounds. With the tariff removed
the iron and steel masters OF England,
Belgium and Germany would have a
chance to compete with the producers
in this country. In such an event
the price OF rolling mill steel would
be reduced at least 20 per cent, prob
ablymore."
