Two cows cost $40 each per year for
keep. One Of them yields you 1900
quarts of milk a gear, that bring you
$50. The other yields 100 quarts. that
bring you $26. The latter loses for you
about $14 and reduces the gain on the
former from $40 to So. Why do you
keep the 1900 quart COW? You would
be better off with the one that clears
$40, for you would have ely half the
investment, half the work and half the
feeding. and you would gain $14 each
year.-Farm Journal.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

He didn't have a dollar; he did
mt have dime. His clothes and
shoes were looking just as though
they'd served their time. He
didn't try to kill himself or try to
dodge misfortune's whacks. In
stead he got some ashes and filed
five dozen sacks. Then next he
begged dollar. In the paper in
the morn he advertised tin polish
that would put the sun to scorn.
He kept on advertising, and just
now suffice to say, he's out in
California at his cottage on
the bay.

Rank Securities Still Taxable.

The State Board of Equalization of
Taxes met in Bridgeton on Thursday of
last week and heard the appeal cases OF
the National Banks and Trust Companies
which claimed a deduction of the U. 5.
Bonds held by them from their taxable
values. The first case regularly called
was that OF the Vineland Trust company
on appeal. The corporation was organ
lied November l, 1904. Its capital stock
is 500, 600 and no surplus was paid in
when the charter was granted. The as
SCISSOR of Vineland was asked to set off
non taxable mortgages and bonds as OF
May 20, 1905.
In March, 1905, the board of directors
had passed a resolution, according to the
testimony of H. B. Pond, cashier, which
set aside certain investment bonds and
mortgages amounting to $64, 900 for spec
ial investment of capital stock. The as
sessment of $25, 900 thereon. The case
was dismissed, the board holding that
uDu6T bilO DUN law dACStiuk Mn ioe
ter, no allowance could be made for ex-
emption of securities in which capital
stock, surplus and undivided profits Of iu-
dietary institutions are invested.
The cases of the stockholders Of Penn's
Grove National Bank for deduction of
U. S. Bonds from taxation was also called.
1t was a case similar to the above and
many others. Fletcher w. Layton, as
SCISSOR was asked how he as
sessed bank stock. He told them accord
ing to the instructions of the State Board
in whose presence he was. That is; Add
together the capital stock, surplus
and individual profits, deduct the
value of the bank building which is as
sessed locally and divide the remainder
by the number OF shares, which gave the
value of each share.
The Board said they were still of the
| same opinion as the instructions previous
ly given and that if the Banks wanted a
deduction to the amount of the U. S.
Bonds held by them they might appeal
to the Supreme Court for a decision.
