Are the British rich in immediate
danger of being taxed off the British
isles? This is a question that is be-
ing asked seriously. The British press
day by day echoes the despairing pro-
tests of the well to do against the rap
idly increasing burdens of taxation, Of
which no man knows the end. The
prediction is freely made by English
men of affairs resident of this coun-
try that any substantial increase in
taxation will be followed by an exodus
of the British we'll to do. and espe-
cially of the British rich from the
British isles. They will seek in this
country or some other a haven where
the idea of taking away the property
of those who have 1t to give 1t to
those who have none does not obtain.

inherits property.
He pays an income tax on his rent

There is no more pernicious sophis

the seductions of easy money" The
psychology of this weakness may or

years ago he was living on the natur-

Butter making in the home dajrv

luuonized by the introduction of the
farm separator, which separates
cream from milk by a centrifugal
process. The shallow pan or crock
system and the deep-setting system
have been largely eliminated, and
with their exit a considerable part of
the drudgery of the household disan-
peared. The farmer Is now no longer
required to make the daily trip to the
creamery; he can retain the skim milk
to feed his calves and pigs and de-
liver the cream, sweet, every other
