EDITOR INDEPENDENT
Elko, Nevada.
Dear Sir
Now that the Grand Jury is in session,
the ritter as a Taxpayer desires to call
their attention, and that of the Public
generally, to the inadequate form Of
Tax Receipt issued in Elko County.
Sec. 1l05 page 100 of the Compiled
Laws of Nevada reads "Whenever any
tax is paid to the x-officio Tax Receiver
he shall mark the word paid" and the
date of payment in the assessment roll
opposite the pane of the person OF
description .: the property liable for
such taxes, and shall give receipt
the refor, specifying the amount of the
assessment and the amount of the tax
and description of the pro- erty
assessed, etc"
the present form OF receipt issu ed
here merely sets out that u person has
paid their tax as "per folio 90 and 30"
no description whatever of the property
-5nO ulu IOuO 30 ana 30 IOr any reason
be destroyed there is absolutely nothing
in existence to show on what property
the tax has been paid. Then again il
persons should want to know whether or
not he had paid taxes on a certain
piece Of property they have to go or
send to the County Treasurer's office to
ascertain what the receipt should set
out There are Of course come large
properties where it may be burdensome
to make detailed description, but the re-
are not many Of these, and such work
is performed elsewhere, why not here.
1t might be well for this matter to
have come favorable consideration in
order that tho proper form Of receipt
for this years taxes may be ordered
printed. This matter is one that in ter
ests every taxpayer hence this method
of calling attention to 1t.

A Relic Of Early San Francisco
Il. III. MALLETT.

A relic OF the old time when "the
water came up to Montgomery street"
has Just been unearthed in San Fran
CISCO. In the old days Of 40 the ships
which celled Yerba Buena-as San
Francisco was the n called-fOund them
selves stranded, for the crews would
desert en- masse for the gold d1ggings.
More than one captain, seeing the hope
lessness of getting crew, followed his
his men in the hope Of wash ing out q
fortune. These derel;ct ships we're
soon STRANDED" in Double sense, for
the land encroached, or was filed in =,
seaward, and the ships gradually be-
came hotels Oh dry land Among these
ships was the Mantle" built in A
Maine ehip.ard Of Maine pine, or bull
pine as it is called in California. a fter
being deserted, the ship was pulled
ashore at Clay and Sapsome streets and
converted into a lodging house The
shallow water mt her stern was gradually
filled up with sand brought from the
neiRhborlDR streets and the @Niautic"
became a fixture on the lqpd. After
many years the Niaptic block, one Of
the best constructed buildings OF the
early daye, was erected over her tim bers.
The Mantle block persisted IN the con
migration Of April, 1906. Recently, in
digging the fouodatons for a new
Mantle building, tho Keel and ribs Of
the old ship were found fast in the mud
and sand.--Exchange

KIND OF COWS TO KEEP.
Raise Them Yourself and Be Sure Of
Their Milk-Giving Capacity.

1t is not sufficient to have a certain
number of cows. They should be
adapted to the work-dairy cows, not
beef animals, that can only produce
sufficient milk to raise a veal calf.
Such cows are not the most profitable
ones to keep. Aim to raise your own
cows, then through selection and
breeding the producing capacity of
your herd can be increased.
If you do not feel equal to the ex-
pense, cooperate with your neighbor
and purchase a good dairy sire. The
influence of good sire towards i'm
proving the quality of stock, especial
ly where grades are kept, is very
marked.
Lay your plans for a silo at just as
early date as possible. The silo has
come to be recognized as one of the
most important buildings on the dairy
farm.
Care should be taken not to feed
COWS food capable of imparting OBJ
jectionable odors or fiavors to cream.
Turnips and other strong-lavored
foods can only be fed Immediately
after milking, but it is better not to
feed such foods to dairy cows 1t is
not necessary and it is too risky.

Construction of Feed Rack.

their exercise. Where the straw and
waste hay and fodder was formerly
Strewn around the yard and tramped
in the mud there is now no such waste.
The yards can be kept clean and all
the roughage used. The racks are also
helpful to a certain extent as prOtec-
ton from the weather.
The illustration gives a very fair
idea of the construction of the racks.
They are 16 feet long, eight feet wide
and eight feet high. They are mount
ed on three 2x8 skids and can be
drawn to different parts of the yard.
The framework Is built around six up
right 4x4s braced with 2x4s around
the top. The Stats in the rack are
made of fencing. The rack is foored
with inch stuff and sided up with 1x12
boards over which is 2X8 board to
add strength where the cattle lean
over the rack. A 2x6 80 inches above
the 2x8 and around the rack prevents
crowding and adds strength to the
rack. A rack of this kind calls for
the following bill of material:
twenty-five pieces of fencing 10
feet; 4x4s, 16 feet high; 2x4s, 16
feet high; 9 boards 1x12x16; 2x6s,
16 feet long; 2X4s, 16 feet long; 12S
feet flooring; 6 2xSs, 16 feet.

The LeakV Roof.

The leaky roof of the poultry house
is always a danger. The rain thai
comes in dampens the whole atmo
sphere within, with the result that dis
ease starts easy and continues. The
droppings become moist and throw of
foul odors. The owner of a poultry
house must keep it dry. There are
multitudes of disease germs about that
need only conditions of moisture and
a little heat to develop and multiply
If the weather turns cool after a rain
the house is cold and damp and rheu
matism is induced in fowls. Fowls
suffer from such conditions more than
is realized.
