eINhNo L. IA Ne amount Of sugar and
tobacco which may be imported from
the islands free is limited. There are
increases on certain items called luxu
ries, including tax Of or 9 cents a
pound on tea, but there is no tax on
coffee. An increase is made in the in
ternal tax on cigarettes. A federal tax
on inheritances is provided, as recon-
mended by President Taft.
The apparent reductions of schedules
may be much modified in the actual
workings Of the law. The chief source
of these notifications is in the maxi
mum and minimum tariff. The act pro-
vides that after sixty days maxi
mum tariff which is 20 per cent higher
than the regular schedules shall 90
into effect against every country that
does not give US the favored nation
clause on every item, which, as things
now stand, would mean very nearly ev-
cry nation except Great Britain. Under
this provision the tax on some articles
supposed to be free by the terms Of tho
new law would actually be higher than
under the present DingIey act. Petro-
Ieum, for example, is free, as at pres
emit; but, since Russia, the only coun-
try from which we can import petro-
leum in large quantities, taxes it, we
are thus made to tax it also. A similar
effect may be produced on wood pulp
and print paper, since Canada now
taxes these products, and by tho work.
ings Of the new law we would likewise
be made to tax them. Thus the fight
Of American newspapers for cheaper
paper will be only half won even if
that section Of the Payne bill goes
through as it now stands. The other
half of the fight will have to be won in
Canada, if at all. In like ways this
maximum and minimum provision may
be made actually to raise the tariff on
very many schedules-coffee, for OK

ROAD ~LEGiSLATION.

For some time the Journal has
advocated the passage of a bill
authorizing Supervisors Districts
TO issue bonds for the purpose of
constructing public highways as
may seem proper in the wisdom
Of the people of each District.
We have a multitude Of laws
on the subject Of road building,
but as yet, but few counties have
been able to apply the law to
local conditions and get practical
results.
In this county for the past
ten or fifteen years, our roads
have been very greatly improved,
yet, we are a long way from the
desired end. The benefits are
too patient to need argument to
convene the most skeptical of
the good to come from good
roads.
The Governor should be petit
toned to call the Legislatures
attention to the necessity of suck
a law and the Legislature will
doubtless see the wisdom of
placsng every Supervisors Dis
trict in a position to improve
their roads, if the land owners
Of the District favor such i'm

DON'T KNOCK YOUR TOWN,

When a man in search OF a
home or a business location goes
into town and finds everything
brim full of hope and enthusiasm
Of the prospects of the place,
and all earnestly at work to
Guild it up. he soon becomes i'm
bued with the same spirit, and
as a result he. drives down stakes
and goes to work with the same
interest. When, however, he
goes to a town where everyone
expresses doubt and a%pprehen-
sion for the prospects of the
place, moping about and indulg-
ing in mournful complaints he
naturally feels that it is no place
for him, ard he at once shakes
the dust eff his feet, while he
pulls out with all possible speed
for some other place. Quit
knocking and get together for
the good Of the town..

COUNTY WITHOUT ROADS NOT
ATTRACTIVE.

No county in this state, or any
other state for that matter, will
be a desirable place to live or
seek as a home that hasn't good
roads. The old mud road is q
back number and will not be toll
Grated by this progressive age.
Good roads is the slogan of every
wide awake county. Farmers
are buying buggies, carriages,
and wagons, and are educating
their children and prosperity is
in evidence on all sides. The
R. F. D. man brings the mail to
the door of the farmer and there
is an air of intelligence about
every farm home. These things
are largely true because of our
pike roads, and there must be,
by some methods, more roads
built throughout the county. =

POULTRY.

Poultry raising is becoming
more profitable each year. The
man who has a nice flock OF
chickens always has a good mar
Ike" for his eggs and friers. 1t
does not cost any more to raise
good chickens than it does to
raise the scrubs, and the poul-
try raiser should by all means
get rid of his scrub stock. There
is nothing prettier than a nice
farm house with a flock Of good
fowls, but on the other hand,
there is nothing that looks much
worse than a flock of any kind
that comes along. Get one breed
and stick to it. A coop of chick
ems all uniform in size and color
will bring more on the market
than the mixed ones.
You cannot become rich in a
minute raising poultry, but you
can get more out Of it than most
anv other thing on the farm.
Raise what you need to feed
them. Corn is a good food for
the older oneg. but being a warm
food should only be fed at night.
Some poultry raisers suggest dry
food for the chicks while others
say wet is the best. The trouble
most people have with the young
broods is that they feed them too
soon. A small chicken, just
hatched, should not be fed by
any means until it is forty-eight
hours old. To feed them too
soon will cause them to sleep and
die. Too much care cannot be
taken of the sitting hen.
Il you are raising chickens.
get a good poultry book and DO
what it says. We can get it Tor
