VALUATION
AND TAXATION. F.,

II is probable. that one of the worst
PRACTICES in connection with the as
sessed valuation of real estate, is the
preference which is frequently given
to unimproyed property, held for
speculative purposes, by land COM
panies and individuals, for the benefits
arising from neighborhood improve
ments and growth. In many COM
munitles this class of property is held
for years, and has not only been as
sessed at nominal figures, but owners
have frequently defaulted in their
taxes and assessments with the hope,
perhaps, that future buyers would pay
these public charges in the purchase
Of the tracts SO held
1t has been the experience in some
of our growing cities, that large tracts
OF unimproved, residential land, map
ped out in lots at good prices, are
owned by land companies and are as
sessed as farm lands, at nominal rates.
Sometimes, large tracts Of land in the
outskirts of our cities, are held by
speculative owners. waiting to secure
the unearned increment from the en-
terprise of others, while in the mean
time the public received but small
revenue from these properties. But,
when a lot is sold to a private pur-
chaser and a house is built upon it,
Immediately the assessed valuation is
placed at higher figure than whole
acre OF the remaining part of the
tract is assessed This is a penalty
on improvements which should be
1bolishcd.
The principal cause of low valuation
IN suburban places is found in the
idea of local property owners that they
attract buyers and residents. With
certain amount to be collected, the
lower the valuation, the higher the
tax rate. For local purposes, therefore,
it doesn't make any difference wheth
er the tax is paid at high rate on a
low valuation, or at low rate on a
high valuations the amount of tax is
the same in either case. Another con-
sideration which is also held is the
municipalities share of the county ex-
penses. Tf>s lower the assessed valua-
IlOU, Tie less lle llluillClpdllly Ids W
pay each year to the county. That
has practically been the principal
course in the counties, with regard to
percentage valuations, as taxes on real
estate are not paid to the state. The
opportunity which is afforded local as
SCISSORS to discriminate, as between
property owners, is evidently great,
and possibly it is sometimes grossly
abused.
The defeat of the abolition of dis
ordinations and especially on unim-
proved property must be to reduce tax
bills, since large amount of property
which is not now assessed at figure
near its real worth will be added to
the valuations. Then, too, fair and
just rate of valuation and taxation
will do much to break up speculative
holdings of unimproved lands, intend
ed for sale in residential lots, and the
unearned increment will advert to
those who improve and not to those
who stand in the way or progress and
public mprovements.-The Gazette,

Weaning the Lambs.

Lambs should not run with the
ewes after November. if the ewes
are desired to lamb early in the
year. And this is very desirable,
as 1t makes it possible to wean the
lambs in time to give the ewes rest
tn make up their growth, and puts
them through the winter in good
condition and brings the next
season again little earlier.
When the lambs are separated
from the ewes it will he necessary
to give them little grain, which
ia best in the form of finely ground
meal. This is wholly used by
the lambs, and none of it is lost
for want of full digestion, There
is no more satisfactory way to
push the lambs forward for the
next year than to put the ewes on
good feed and so supply the
lambs with plenty Of milk of the
best quality. To feed the ewes
well, when nursing the lambs,
adds fully month of their
growth, and thus puts them for
ward for a repetition of the same
advance the year following
What is thus gained is worth
twice as much as aoy gain after
ward. No one who has not tried
his constant pushing on of the
lambs will be disappointed with
the results. 1t easily adds 81 to
the value of each lamb, and this
is of itself very considerable
bonus on the years income from ii
flock. Some farmers especially
dislike early lambs for the reason
that they begin to eat too soon,
making III necessary TO Ieeu De
fore the spring grass is ready.
But one ounce Of meal or bran is
worth more than full pound of
grass, and the constant practice
of all sheep keepers should be to
push ahead all the lambs and keep
this larger growth increasing
naturally as the animal grows
older. The last pound of increase
in any animal will cost more than
twice as much as the first, and
this rule will apply to all kinds
and conditions of animals, but
most of all TO lambs, and sheep

PLAN TO GUARD PUBLIC CASH.

G, B. Kegley, master of the Wash
ington State Grange, is calling espe-
cial attention to movement started
at the last session of the grange to
secure uniform and accurate ac.
counting of the collection and expend.
itlre of all public money.
The campaign is designed to be
general, and it is expected that the
question will become leading issue
all over the United States in the next
two years. Its object is to reduce
public business to the same basis of
careful conduct as private enterprise.
An amendment to the state constitu.
tion will be necessary. The resolu-
tion follows;
Whereas. All money collected from
the people by the local, state and ma
tional governments by taxation and
other means should be expended and
accounted for with as much care and
thrift as all good citizens expend and
account for their private incomes:
BE 1t resolved, That the following
provision ON the subject of uniform
public accounting be made part of
the constitution of the state of Wash
ington, and that the members of all
local oranges and all good citizens
generally throughout the state be and
are hereby requested and urged to in
terest themselves in securing this re-
suit:
The legislature shall require all
money collected by taxation or by fees.

TO be accounted for by system of
accounting that shall be unssorm for
each class of accounts, state or local.
which shall be prescribed and audited
by authority of the state.-Spokane

The Chicks In Summer.

IIlG OlltChS III OulllIIlGIs
This is an portant season with
the chickens. There are several
things that can be done to make
them comfortable and hasten
growth.
One of the most important
things is to give them plenty of
room. During the day, if on free
range, no trouble will occur, but
at night there is great danger
from too many in coop and con-
sequent crowding and sweating.
A coop that is sufficiently roomy
for twenty when small will not be
capable of accomdating more than
half that number after they are
six or sight weeks old. The de-
sired room may be had by separ a
ting the sexes and disposing of
the cockerels as broiers as soon
as they reach two pounds weight.
There is usually more profit IN
them at this stage than later,
when you figure the benefit it is
to the pullets to have the extra
breathing space at night. 1t
they are to be grown for soft
roasters the cockerels should be
given place by themselves,
where they cannot get with the
pullets.
One should also look for lice.
Cool where hens have been con
fined to brood chicks in warm
weather are very apt to become
infested. If you see your chicks
looking dumpy, axamine the coops
for lice, and if any are found the
simplest and surest treatment is a
teakettle of hot water poured into
every crack, after removing the
hen and chicks. This cooks
lice and nits. Then dust the hen
thoroughly with insect powder,
and repeat at intervals of one
week. This powder will sift
down on the chicks and your
trouble will soon be over.
Feeding the chicks to force
growth as fast as possible from
nov on is the chief object, az We
all want those eggs next fall.
Last season our Rhode Island
Red chicks, In tched June 10,
laid their first eggs the first week
in December. This | considered
very satisfactory.
My method Of feeding is dry
rolled oats for the first few days,
or as long as the chicks will eat
them greedily, Cracked corn
alternated II with wheat, Is gradual
ly added, and after about thee
weeks of age mash composed of
scalded mea two parts; coarse
bran, four parts; feed flour, one
part, and meat scrap, one part, is
fed in the morning-the feed, in
fact, az my layers get as | keep
them. A good deal more wheat
is fed than corn, and i consider
it the banner egg food, Just
enough corn is fed, summer and
winter, to keep up a little variety.
Oats | never feed, on account of
high price and low quality usually
obtainable here.
Always keep the water dishes
filed. Chickens drink many
times lay, and often
when the chicks are crying and !
you think they are hungry you
will find their water supply ex.
hausted. Water them and they /
are happy and contented, and on
the simple ration given will make
satisfactory growth.

Midsummer Gardening.

AS the vegetables have now
gained undisputed mastery over
the weeds in the well kept garden,
there comes strong inclination
to rest from labor, especially as
the days grow hotter. Yet the
hoe is needed every day to keep
the soil light and porous, there.
by admitting air to the roots as
we'll as fitting the soil to take up
atmospheric moisture. In early
morning or after sunset one can
accomplish wonders for the plants
with very little exertion.
Did you every try training Gu
cumber vines over q trellis2 just
watch one that strays into the
sweet corn and notice what large,
straight and shapely fruit it
bears. 1t is also less inclined to
rot than when left to trail upon
the ground.
Why IS it that so few colored
beans are placed upon the marketH
Those familiar with their rich
flavor prefer the Horticultural to
the Lima for some purposes, espe-
cially for baking The white
field bean ,has its place, yet many
would welcome the colored varie-
ties, at least for a change.
A the early potatoes are used
the ground can be replanted to
celery. In fact, many farmers
find it saving of labor as well
as of ground to plant celery be-
tw cen the rows of field potatoes
after they are Hill up in
the final cultivation, this process
forming the trench desired for the
young plants.
To thus grow several hundred
plants on soil which otherwise
would be idle is certainly a good
illustration of what intensive
cultivation signifies; and in ad-
dition to the luxury of having
this crop in abundance for home
use the surplus will yield enough
to pay for the trouble of its care.
If the cucumbers or melons do
not thrive well, try sinking an
old tin can with perforations in
the bottom in the space between
each four hills. Fill this nearly
full of manure and keep it satur.
ated with water. But be sure
that the cans are set deep enough
In the ground that the drainage
may sink to the roots instead of
coaxing them to the surface, there
to suffer from drought.
Pick thesmelons which get late
and therefore cannot mature, to
enable the vines to exert their en-
tire strength in perfecting the
earlier fruit.
Tomatoes require rich sol and
if the fruit is slow in maturing
bit of fertilizer worked around
the roots may give them the need
ed impetus. La saving seed select
only the choicest specimens, those
which ripen evenly without in
to rot.
Instead of spreading them on a
cloth to make muss the whole
year, try putting them in dish
of water and setting aside in some
out-of- the way I lace for week,
They will seemingly sour and at
last sink to the bottom Of the
dish. The water sho uld then be
poured off and the seeds dried,
which they will be covered with a
soft fuzz like those sent out by
seedsmen, and can be slipped into
II paper packet, much neater one
than the pulp-stained cloth in
evitabIe with the old method.
