Collecting the Inheritance Tax.-Law
ON Transportation Of FISH and
Game.
At the Attorney Generals office
Mr.. Barnes, Assistant Attorney Cen
eral, is busily employed these days
securing the collection of inheritance
taxes due the State of Maine under
the provision of Chapter 1877 of the
Public Laws of 1909.
Prior to the passage of this act. in
heritance taxes were due the State
only from estates passing to what are
called collateral heirs, and the COL
lection of the same was in the hands
of the Judges Of Probate and County
Attorneys.
The first inheritance law was pass
ed In 1893 and the investigation by
the Attorney Generals department
since June l, 1910, when by the pro-
visions of the act first referred to,
returns were due from the various
Registers of Probate to the State,
shows that there are many estates not
yet finally settled from which an in
heritance tax under the provisions of
the former law may be due. In carry
ing on this work, the various county
seats are visited and through cor
respondence with legal representa-
tiyes and their attorneys their taxes
are being determined and collected.

Hints 10 the Farmer.

Profits in dairying do not come SO
much from keeping a large number
of cows but in feeding a limited num-
Der all they will eat.
Good dairy cows are sure money
makers to the man who gets down to
business and learns how to feed and
care for them.
Kindness Is all important in hand
ling the dairy COW. Never suffer them
to be driven out OF slow walk when
they are brought In to be MIXED.
Milk should always be separated
as soon as drawn from the COW. Far
better results are thus obtained than
II left to cool before putting through
the separator.
