COW HORN TURNIP.

Has Been Used With Benefit For
Changing Soil Texture.
Much has been said of the COW
torn turnip as a soil improyer, or,
rather, ameIiorator, as it is supposed
to benefit more by changing the soil
texture than by bringing in new fer
tilizing material, like clover and other
legumes. 1t will grow in unproduc-
tive c&y soils and bores deep into the
ground opening up by it's decay in
winter the deeper compact layers and
adding most appreciabIe amount Of
humus. The seeds are commonly sown
with crimson clover in August or Sep
TENDER in corn or on fields that might
otherwise remain bare through winter.
1t has been used in this manner with

the clover to smother the turnips al
most completely in the early sowing,
but in the corn there was good
stand, entirely covering the clover in
many places.-Rural New Yorker.

The proposition to increase the payof mem
bers OF the legislature to 81 900 is meeting with
considerable encouragement from the press OF
the state The Wlkiu County Gazette thus
ably discusses the question: "The pay OF the
members of the Minnesota Legislature should be
raised this winter to $1,000 The OF $500
per session is altogether too small compensa-
ton for the man who is asked to give up all his
time for practically the whole winter to the ser
vice of the state, This sum is just about sutfi-
cient to cover the actual expenses incurred
while attending the session, and there is moth
ing left to pay the member for the tme he is
kept away from his business. Today the mem
bers of the Legislation divide ! into three
class IS, RI h men, natrl t5 ri EATERS The
rich class includes Datr1ots, graf IS a@d men
who in politics a fad. The patriotic class
is composed Of rich and poor men who are
anxious to do something that will be Of benefit
to the state. The CRATER class is also composed
alike of rich and poor, all anxious to do some
thing that will be Of benefit to themselves or
the COZ operations which they represent. Rais-
ing the salary TO 1000 per session would at
least offer an incentive for honest and able men
to come out and contest for seats in the legis-
lature now occupied by grafters and corpor-
alton agents"

REAL AND ASSESSED VALUES.

showing the ESTIMATED true values of all prop
erty and of specified classes OF property" in the
United States and the several states in the
years 1900 aud 1904 Nothing accompanying
the bulletin that reached our table states how
these values were estimated by what pro-
cesses conclusions were reached. The con
fessions of an enumerator in a magazine last
year do not dispose to an implicit reliance upon
these statistics and at their best they can be
only approximations Taking them at thai
value and making all allowances. 1t is inter
esting to compare these estimated value with
the assessed valuations of some of the classes
given that admit of comparisons.
AS Minnesota is of especial interest, we will
compare the bulletins data with the assessed
values of these two years as given III the re-
ports of the auditor of state. The total value
of all property in the state, exclusive of rail
ways, in 1900 is "estmated at So 1866, 47OS26, but
after the state board of equalization had got
through revising the values made by the lower
boards of review we had a total taxable value
of but $685. ,Oo3,324 or only 1872 per cent of the
estimated value. Stated another way there
was $3.50 of real value to ST Of assessed value.
For 1904 the estimated total value is $2879,988,-
assessed Il
of 1851 to ST. percentage of u.
The estimated value of real property, in
Guiding improvements in 1900 81 457 1885,
712 and 81 ,982, ,8S9 in 1904. The assessed
values were 13,453 and 1901 066,777 re-
spectively or 40 and 50 per cent of the estimat-
ed value. The estimated value of live stock in
1900 $9S 876,4OO and in 1904 it was $126,353,-
319 while the assessed values were $29,97S ,3O4
and $36 OO3 1856, ration of $3.50 of real to ST. of
assessed value In 1900 the real value of
farm machinery, tools and implements was
$4,000 $50 and in 1904 $50, 6736o7, while the
sessed values were respectively, $5,414,445 and
$4,777 06S, giving ratios of 1852 and S76S of real
to ST. of assessed value. In 1904 the estimated
real value of manufacturers machinery and
tools was $45,121 1897, while the assessed value
was 81 894,926 at the ratio of 1920 of real to
81 Of assessed value.
We select these items or classes for com
parison to point the inequalities of personal
property taxation when measured by even es-
timated real values. While the ratio of real to
assessed value Of real estate $2.46 and S2S2to
81 that of live stock was $3.50 to 81, off mple
ments over ~ to 81 and of manufacturers
chinery over so to 81. Surely here, after MAX
ing all allowance is food for reflection for leg
islators who will have to give their minds to
this question of taxation this winter, unless,
indeed they remit to commission the la bor.-

Report OF Sunday School Convention

The district Sunday School convention
was held at the u B church at Nine
Cottonwoods, Sunday, February 4th.
Although the day was unfavorable.
thirty people were present, and the con-
vention was after all success. Dis
trict President Light was there and
ready for good time. County officers
present were D. d. White, president,
and Jesse Shamberger, secretary. Rev.
Wilson, of Attica, pastor of the U. B.
church, was present and spoke on the
subject, 1.-THE Sunday School as Civic
Power" A talk that was enjoyed by
all. He also took part in the discussion
of the various questions, and was an
inspiration to all the workers. Presi-
dents White and Light filled their plac-
es in the same good old way we all like
for them to. We wish to commend Sis
ter White as leader of music, for al
though it seemed everything was against
her, the convention was well supplied
with songs of praise and good cheer
that warm the Christians heart. We
are sorry to loose from our association,
Pres. Light, who will soon move to Wes-
tern Kansas. P. d. Mats of Sharon
was elected president to take his place.
We hope the new president will meet
with abundant success and be factor
in making the Sunday Schools in his
district greater success. This makes
the fifth district convention since the
county convention The best record
ever made in the county. Let the good
work keep on.
