A Home for a Little Girl.

Sunshine has a good home offered for
a little girl. The following was re-
ceiyed from small town in this state
and Sunshine prints it as it shows so
plainly the kind heart Of the writer,
who is anxious to bring happiness to
some unfortunate little girl.
and all T know Of the city is what I
read and hear. I have heard so much
Of the poor of the cities and I have
wanted to take little girl, any age be-
tween 4 and 10 years, who may need a
home.
eff were a rich woman think I
would spend my time and money look
inc up poor little children, and expect
I would be like the old woman that
lived in the shoe. 1 have comforta-
BILE home and we have our cows and
chickens and turkeys which give us a
good living. AS there are only my hus-
band. little boy and myself, we would
welcome and love little girl. I wish
so much, too, that my boy should have
the pleasure Of growing up with a little
sister. We live only one mile from school
and if we have our health we will be
! able to send the children to high school
when they are thru district school. We
have Sunday school in the schoolhouse
summers, and I have been superintend-
ent and teacher.

and there is work for me, for I am very
thankful to know it is not always the
money that does the most good, but the
love in our hearts. I hope sometime te

How Farmer Loses When He Sells
His Farm and Takes Mortgage
'No Wonder People Who Have

Our Minnesota tax system as it appears
on our statutes seems to me in many re-
spects the most unrighteous. the most
unreasonable thing ever made by law
makers. This seems to many, no doubt.
a bold, harsh statement. and will need
some proof to be believed. r could cite
many instances to convince any clear and
fairminded man of the truth Of my con-
tention, but I will now confine myself to
realestate mortgages and choose the sim
pie form as the easiest to understand.
Now, Tom has a farm worth $4,000,
but he is getting old and tired and longs
to rest and so he sells his farm to Dick,
who pays him $4,000 cash down, and gives
Tom mortgage for $12, 900 at per cent
annually, or 5000 per year. Tom buys a
house In town for $4,000, and now fatters
himself to live with his wife and a few Of
the youngest children on that $500 Dick
pays him. When Tom lived on the farm
he had to pay yearly tax on said farm
of about $50 and besides a few dollars Of
personal tax. That $50 and also that
personal tax will now be paid by Dick,
and Tom pays now the real estate and
personal tax Of his town home. And so
the state, the United States government
and the county Tom lives in are getting
at least as much tax money now as they
got when Tom lived on the farm
But now comes the assessor and taxes
a peep in the record books kept in the
courthouse of Toms county; and behold,
he finds on said record a real estate mort
gage of $4,000 on Toms old farm and
Tom as the mortgage. The assessor is
conscientious man and a law-abidine
citizen, and is bound to tax Tom for that
$4,000, 40 mills for $4,000 Of it. or 4 per
cent. making a total sum Of S240. And in
this way Tom instead Of paying $50 from
his farm. has now to pay $240 practically
from the same farm, and Mr.. Dick pays
the $50 tax as Tom did before. Tom has
also to pay $50 tax of his house in town
and thus the same man Of the same cap
ital pays five times more taxes now thar
when he lived on the farm, and his in
come Of $500 has dwindled down to $500
for the three branches of our government
took so per cent of this poor mans
income.
No wonder people who have money tc
invest don't do it in the county ir
which they live, or that bankers and cap

assessment Of their money. But ever

Inspection for Tuberculosis In Cows

To the Editor of The Journal.
The Journal of March Is contains
a false accusation written by DR.. A. A.
Keys, city veterinarian of Minneapolis,
against me and the dairy herd in my
charge. The statement that 'sMr. Fin
seth has been one Of the most active op
ponents Of cattle inspection is untrue.
Tho member Of the Minnesota Ship
pers association, have always advocated
the importance of testing cows for tuber-
culosis. When the city of Minneapolis
demanded the inspection Of the shippers
herds in 1900 our herd was tested and
found perfectly free from tuberculosis, as
we'll as all the other herds Of this neigh
borhood. When the orders again came
to have the shippers herds tested and in
spected I applied to DR.. Hall Of Mime
apolis for the inspection Of our herd on
the same ground as Minneapolis tests our
milk when sold in the city-the city does

board and the herd was tested properly
Furthermore, DR.. Keys says: 1.-THE dis
covery of thirty head of diseased cattle
supposed to be entirely healthy This
| is another falsehood. DR.. Ward and DR..
Hay will support my statement that was
very suspicious OF the disease ana de-
manded action at once. ~ RS.
Furthermore, DR.. Keys says: 1.-THE loss
| of Mr.. Finseth's cattle is no more than
just retribution." This is indeed a grave
/ personal accusation. If DR.. Keys lost
most Of his property by fire how could
anyone say: ''Dr. Keys loss was a just
retribution.'
The attending veterinarian did not re.
quest to have the herd tested for tuber-
culosis after the first victin1-two years
ago. disposed Of the ones closest To-
Gated to the victim and disinfected the
farm, but the disease had spread.
Dr.. Keys may not necessarily believe
these words, but I would refer him to the
Kenyon Seeder of March 1. which con
tains part Of the lengthy paper: '"Tuber
culosis and It's Relation to Public Health,
wherein I discussed the disease, the i'm
