After making review of the
work of several Of the county asses-
sors, and learning that certain
classes of property have not been
considered by them in making their
assessments, the State Tax commits
sion today issued notice to the as
SCISSORS instructing them as to the law
and also stating tnet the commits
sion indorsed the plan of hewing
right to the line in making the as
sessments.
Notes Not Assessed.
The commission in it's communlca-
ton says that it appears that IN
some counties mortgage notes are
not listed, or if listed at ALL only in
instances where the taxpayers fairly
insist that their mortgage notes
shall be assessed. 1t further says
that some assessors and county
boards hold that it is not good pub
lie policy to tax such notes, and
then points out the consequences of
such an action--thae the taxpayer Is
quick to understand the attitude of
the assessor and to take advantage
of 1t by avoiding to include his notes
in his list of property.
On the other hand, the letter OF
instruction says, there are assessors
who are making strong effort to
get all classes of property assessed
and with this end in view, are check
ing up all the mortgage notes on
record in their counties. "This
course" says the communication
has been indorsed by the commits
sion and we desire it distinctly un
derstood that such diligence on tht
part Of the assessor is commended
and approved"

A Typhoid Vaccine.

Typhoid can be guarded against as
c1ectually as we now guard against
c'nallpox That method is known as
typhoid incubation. It is most impor-
tant and interesting as well. Two
years ago typhoid incubation was
adopted by the medical corps of the
army, under the direction of Major
Frederick f. Russell. Quietly and al
most unknown to the general public
the incubation has been going on I'M
til today a very large percentage Of
the officers and men have been inocu-
lated. In the United States army, ac-
cording to the report of the first years
work, recently published, 1,400 officers
and men were inoculated and only one
of them had the fever. During the
same first year, when one case occur
red among 1,400 inoculated, 135 cases
occurred among $4,000 not inoculated.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR farmers
Bettering the Farm Flock.

The essentials to profitable egg pro-
-duction are healthy flock of fowls
possessing constitutional vigor bred
from. a laying strain, proper housing
and correct feeding. The best way to
secure a laying strain on the farm is
to select the hens of greatest vigor that
naturally produce the most eggs dur
ing the winter and mate these hens
with a good male. also from a laying
strain and then select only the best
daughters from this mating, says the
American CultiVator.
Not enough Importance is usually at
tached to the selection Of laying hens.
They must be properly cared for if
they are to lay we'll during both winter
and summer. Houses must be kept
sanitary and the fowls free from YER
min. Care must be exercised to avoid
their being chased by dogs or other
animals or unnecessarily frightened.
Poultry house must be we'll ventiIat-
ed, and one or more windows should
be opened every bright day, so that
the house will not become warm dur
ing the day and grow cold again at
night.

The correspondent took trip from

out and rubbed himself against the

Berlin Wants to Be Polite.

The League of Politeness has been
formed in Berlin. 1t aims at inculcat-

initiative of Fraulein Cecelie Meyer,

INDICATIONS OF
The DAIRY TYPE.
Points to Consider When Pur-
chasing MIX Cattle.

The points that a COW should possess
If adapted to economical milk produc-
ton are quite the opposite from what
is seen in the beef animal, says Pro-
fessor w. B. Richards.
The dairy COW possesses long face,
thin, slender neck and sharp project
ing shoulder. She is not very wide in
the chest. but her capacity of chest
is due to her depth, which is greater
in proportion to her size than you will
find in the beef animal She possesses
large barrel, which indicates good
capacity for digesting her food. Her
depth here should exceed her depth
in any other portion of the body A
dairy COW should have good width at
the hips. Her thighs should be clean
and free from muscling. She should
be open between the thighs
Much attention should be given the
udder of the dairy cow. A large udder
does not indicate that it is a good one
Udders are often very feshy. A good
udder should be elastic and pliable and
show many folds when MIXED out.
The teats should be placed equal dis
tanees apart, which is generally the
case if the udder is quite symmetrical
and well proportioned Large milk
veins are good indications. The more
winding and branching they are the
better the indication The veins do
not carry milk, as many think, but
carry the blood from the udder to the
body. and the more blood that passes
through the udder the more milk there
is produced, because the milk is pro
duced from the blood.
A good dairy COW possesses a rather
thin, pliable, elastic skin. a coarse,
harsh handling skin in a poor .indica-
ton. When cows possess this quail
ity of skin they are rarely good pro-
ducers

What Good Cows VIII Do.

If one has the means and opportuni-
ty to buy some high class butter cows
it will take but few years to bring
land up to its maximum productive
ness, provided, of course, all the
manure, liquid and solid. is saved and
used intelligently.
Selling milk in large quantities, I'M
less the food is bought outside, will
run down any farm in time. But sell
ing cream or butter and feeding skim
milk to calves and pigs and saving
and using all the manure will soon
make the land as productive as in its
virgin fertility.

Poultry NJ Totes.

There is no one stated ration that
should be fed to poultry or laying hens
in winter.
Ducks are fine layers, but make poor
mothers. The incubator should be used
to hatch the eggs.
The natural grain feed of fowls is
hard, and they should be fed hard
grain when in confinement.
Never kill a chicken just before it
is to be prepared for the table. Twelve
hours at least should elapse.
It costs but little if any more to
grow a pound of poultry than pound
of pork The price per pound of each
speaks for itself.
If ducks are raised for market pur-
poses they will bring as much when
they are ten or twelve weeks old as at
any other time.
