Do You Want to Know
What You Swallow ?

There Is growing sentiment In this
| country In favor Of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. 1t is but natural that one
| should have Some interest in the compO-
sltion Of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
| medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part Of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
| the well-earned reputation Of his medi-
| cines, DIR. Il. " Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y,

CHAMPION BARROW.

retained by many of the breeders as
the most fashionable color, there are
also those who try to run their herds
pure blacks. An ideal color is made
up much as one may fancy, but the
color craze should not exclude worthy
animals that are off color save where
spots occur. The breeding of blacks is
an absolute necessity where the listed
hogs begin to show too much white, SO
as to narrow the belt of colors' can
be brought back in few careful
crosses, such as breeding animals with
too much white to blacks, or vice versa.
A black SOW that stripes her pigs we'll
should be retained in the 'harem,' as
also one with too much white. Use
the knife freely on all 'runts' or other
suspicious characters, taking care to
wipe out all blood that produces spot
ted pigs and cOnsign them to the fat
tenlng pen.
las a cross ON other breeds for pro-
ducing hog for the market, aside
from imparting new blood, vigOr and
muscular action, they transmit other
characteristics more marked and more
distinct than any other breed, and for
this purpose alone they are Of great
value"

LAWSON PURDY of New York.
state revenue was about $4,000, 600,
CT which one-third came from special
taxes In 1906 the state revenue ex-
ceeded $27,0G00O0, all of it from spe-
cial taxes. Now, plans are being made
for increasing the state revenue to
$35, 900 ,000 and it seems probable
that that amount will be needed; this
means an increase in the expenditure
almost three times as great as it was
II years ago.
Constitutions are taken off the
shelf and busted when the minority
wants to overrule the popular will.
Everything about taxation in consti-
tuition is dangerous. The law reports
are full of cases brought to prevent
the collection of taxes on the ground
OF their constitutinality under such
constitutions as that of Ohio Where a
state constitution is silent as to taxa
ton, only the Federal Constitution
must be obeyed Perhaps few per-
sons realize the adequacy of the Con-
stitution of the United States to guar
antee our fundamental rights. Those
rights should be protected by a con.
stitution, but when a constitutional
convention attempts to impose it's no.
tions Of taxation upon the present and
succeeding generations it commits an
impertinenee If not crime. The Fed
eral Constitution protects citizens Of
other states from the unequal taxation
Of their property or business by any
state; prevents interference with in.
terstate commerce.; prohibits the tax
alton by state of property outside
the Jurisdiction of the state and re-
strains all states from taxing one per-
son more than another under like cir
cumstances. How can men desire
greater protection from themselves.
THE provisions of the Constitution
of Ohio relating to taxation were a.
dopted in 1851. at time when 1t ho.
gan to be the fashion to put whole
codes of laws into the constitution.
THE Ohio Constitution is 80 bad
that any thought and effort now
expended on improving the tax sys.
tenn Of Ohio without amending it's
Constitution is practically wasted
You are tied down to theory aban-
doned everywhere else In the world,
and proven here in the United States
by over century of experience to be
the most debauching, oppressive and
stupid theory that was ever devised.
The Constitution of Ohio declares
that all real and personal property
shall be taxed by uniform rule at
its true value in money. 1t provides
rule which is utterly and absolutely
impossible to enforce. and which IL it
could be enforced would produce the
most aboE'tnable injustice that was
ever perpatrated."

WAS WILLING TO BE HIs'N.
but she was extremely homely. and
the pastor hadn't been investigating
long before he thought he had located
the fOuntainhead. In another week he
was sure of it.
The old maid was not church mem
Der, but the pastor called on her Just
the same and threw out broad hints
that the gossip and the scandaliZer
would have hard work to squeeze into
the better land when the time came.
Sarah agreed with him and two days
later cooked up another canard.
She was in command of the situation
up to certain point. She was well to
do, and she had wealthy relatives to
stand by her. The minister saw that
he must go slow and bide his time.
There are clergymen who study the
subject OF religion alone. There are
others who study human nature as
we'll. The Rev. Bates was one of the
latter
IAN old maid" he reasoned, "is a
young woman who has been overlook
ed in the scramble OF got left in the
shuttle. This fact has soured her tenn
per and made her enviOus and Jealous
The only way she can get even Is to
use her tongue. She is down on all her
sex and ON the married men of the
other. The tongue of one old maid
can stir up more mischief than five
ministers can smooth over"
When the pastor had reasoned that
far he took rest for few minutes
and then continued
What Is the remedy for tattling,
gossiping, slandering old maid? Re
move the cause and the disease Is
cured. In other words, If she can be
married off the spirit Of spite will be
laid and she will have no reason to
Interfere with the peace of mind of
others"
The line Of reasoning was up to date,
and the philosophy weighed full six
leen ounces to the pound. One may
reason thing to Il logical conclusion,
however, and yet find that only one
difficulty has been removed. The Rev.
1t was Lee versus Bates. He realized
that he would have to go at the end of
a year or Sarah Lee would have to be
provided with husband. Not only
was the instinct of self preservation
appealed to, but if the question had
been submitted tOA any lay mind the
answer would have been that one min
lister was worth ten times as much to
any community as an old maid. The
Rev. Bates did not turn conspiratOr. 1t
takes two to conspire, and he did not
take any one into his counsel
His very first move almost brought
about his downfall. He made Sec
Ond call on Miss Lee, and during that
call he brought the conversation around
to the subject Of matrmony. 1t was
the duty of men and women to marry.
The world would be savage desert
without homes. Race suicide would
end In state Of barbarism. For good
reasons of her own, he supposed, she
had neglected this great duty, but he
hoped and trusted that those reasons
would soon be removed. He himself
was still single, but he was happy to
state
Before he could make his statement
the old maid was in his arms, or would
have been IL he had not quickly In
creased the distance between them.

KEEPING THE
SWINE HEALTHY

Ii Is the custom In many states for
farmers to throw the manure from the
horse stalls into the pigpen. Where
much is thrown in at once it is liable

sleep IN this heating manure and then
get out into the cold air they are apt to
have rheumatism, says writer in

will ask: What ails my pigs? They

If but little manure is thrown into the
pen at once the pigs can generally
spread 1t about and keep 1t from heat

Dipping Hogs.

cessful farmer and stockman, thinks
there is no excuse for what is known
as hog cholera. He says that the old

penditure on the farm will bring back
any such big returns as dipping the

TAX LAWS OF OHIO
Expert Lawson Purdy Tells

In discus sing Improved Tax Law'
for Ohio" Mr. Purdy said:
From an economic standpoint the
general property tax for safe pu'-
poses. although an exceedingly crude
plan, worked fairly well under such
conditions as prevailed in Ohio il
1851, when the constitution was
adopted. Then there were no rail
roads and practically no other public
service corporations, no great fran
chise values. comparatively little

ership of things or of an interest in
comparatively small factor in state
affairs and city problems had assumed
little relative importance. With the
growth Of cities and the great in
crease in the value of urban land, the
distribution of the state burden under
the general property tax become more
and more unjust. In primitive COM
munity, as in the poorer rural cOun.
ties today, land has very little value,
and the property interests of those
communities are chiefly in personal
property and improvements on land.
when all state revenue is obtained
from special taxes laid at unvarying
rates, there is no elasticity and No
way in which the revenue can be al.
justed to the needs. This breeds ex-
travagance, to which the recent ex-
penditure of $9,OOO,OOO on decorating
and furnishing the state capitol of
Pennsylvania is a witness.
During the last II years in the
state OF New York we have had an
extensive experience with what hap

In 1894 New York still relied mainly
for state revenue upon the gene al

1t Is as necessary that the fOals
have an abundance of pure water as it
Is to feed them literally, says Horse
Breeder. They should be watered at
least three times every day and should
be given plenty Of time to drink. The
stalls should be well ventilated and
well lighted. The man who attempts
to raise colts In damp, dark place
will not find the business profitable
. When 1t is possible to do so have the
stalls on the south side of the building
and furnished with glass windows that
will admit the sunlight, but so securely
protected that the glass cannot be
reached by the colts.

The firing of vOlley by soldiers
over the grave of dead comrade is a
survival of very ancient custom. In
days gone by, when superstition was
practically universal, it was generally
believed that making noise kept
away evil spirits, and the passing bell
came into vogue for that reason When
firearms were invented vOlley firing
was substituted for the passing bell,
the belief being that the sound of bat
tie would be more etficacious in the
case of soldier.

ATTACKED BY GAME FOWLS.
Tried TO Separate Fighters and Got
the Worst of IL.

Lyons ~ " Correspondence Buffalo Express
Edward H. Smith, a local poultry
fancier is in a serious condition from
blood poisoning resulting from INJURIES
received while tryinE to separate a
pair of game cockerels which were
lighting.
In Mr.. Smiths collection of blooded
fowls are q number of fine games. Two
of them got to lighting under his barn.
and Mr.. Smith. getting down on his
hands and knees. cTawled to where they
were.
When he attempted 10 stop the fight.
both cOckeTels attacked him viciouslv.
The space under the building was so
small that Smith could not get out ex-
cept by backing out on his stomach.
This he could not do, as the attack of
the birds compelled him TO hold his
hands before his face TO protect his
eyes.
Smiths earnest cries for help were
heard by Richard Babe who ran 20 the
barn. and. seeing Smiths legs sticking
out. pulled the man out He could
hardly recognize Smith for the blood
on his face. He had TO be led home.
There was not place on his face as
large AS Il cline that was not cut. and
the flesh hung in strips from his
cheeks. Both his hands We're badly cut
by the gamecOcks' sharp spurs.
