TIM SULLIVkN'S LAND TAX
Bio Politician Has Scheme to Reduce Congestion in New York Tere-
 ment Districts.

Big Tim Sullivan has been looking about a bit in his Bowery kingdom. and as a consequence the brainlest man in Tammany has hammered out a land tax system. which he be- lieves will reduce the congestion In the tenement districts. New fork correspondent of the Cincinnati Tin,es-Star writes. People in my district sleep three and four to the room" said he, "and many of the rooms have never had a ray or sun light in them. They have to live that way because the rent is so high. The tenement owner who is willing to tear down his old building and put up a new one, with sunlight in every window and a bath in every flat. IS afraid to do so, because he knows that his taxes would go skallyhooting up. The poor devils who rent his flats would in the end pay for that higher rate of taxation. Every eighth child born in New York city dies be- cause it's mother has 10 go to work or starve. At the same time there are 10000 acres of good land lying idle within the city limits
 Therefore Sullivan has a plan to cut the taxes on improved real estate, and increase the taxes on vacant prop erty. He figures that owners would have either to build on their land which would relieve the downtown congestion-or go to farming 1t, which would indirectly have the same effect. "A watch dog on farm lives better than many of my constitu- ents." he declares, and yet, after an experience of a lifetime down there. I have yet to find the equal of the families on the streets near the Bowery for industry and economy and courage. Maybe my land tax plan is Bowery political economy. as has been charged. I like 1t all the better for that fact. The Bowery has had to put up with Fifth avenue political economy for a good while"

Home-Bakcd Bread.

The typical sanitary bakery is the home kitchen. Nothing will be said here as to "rots and spots" and sec ond-grade flour and alum-bleach or the enforced companionship of journey men bakers and cellar rats at the cor her shop.
 Consider only the great brown household loaf. as Rabelais called 1t. Its crust has the rich hue of coun- try maiden's cheek. Its crumb is as creamy as her neck. Its aroma as 1t comes cracking from the oven. If not the veritable soul of the wheat, Is at least its aura There is savor Tn homemade bread, and the meat on which our modern Caesars may grow great.
 All that our race is 1t owes to the old kitchen. Unless the pure food law is all wrong. the red flag files from other roofs.-New York World.

He had sung several times during the evening, and his friends had mur. mured words of praise, then escaped as quickly as possible.
 But as he was going homeward he managed to catch one of these self same friends, and he insisted on a truthful opinion.
 You see," he explained, "I don't quite know how to take Miss Cuteon's comment on my performances to- night"
 "No-really! Why-what did she say?" asked the friend hopefully.

ONLY TUN|S SHEEP IN
MAINE
Have Advantage Over Other Sheep
Because of Their Breeding Ability.

The only flock of pure bred Tunis
sheep in Maine are owned by Stephen
C. Horn of Somerset county. About
the first of May he imported from
Canada a small flock consisting of a
yearling buck, yearling eve, and an
old sheep with twins about six weeks
old All of them are eligible to reg
istry in the herd book of the Ameri-
can Tunis Sheep Breeders associa-
ton. Needless to say this flock has
already attracted considerable atten
ton from neighboring farmers.
Mr.. Horn returned to the old farm
this spring to share it's management
with his elderly father, and after 60
ing over the situation with consider
able care, decided that the hot house
lamb industry would be the most
promising specially for his particular
farm. On account of this he selected
the Tunis sheep, because with this
breed, the ewes may be regularly
bred to drop their lambs in any given
month of the year This breeding
characteristic is SO fixed and es-
tablshed that no particular changes
in feeding and management are ne
cessary to get the ewes with lamb at
the right season.
hn oh rhpt
not strkingly different from more
common breeds and varieties, but the
lambs show marked contrast in
color. The little fellows are sort of
a reddish brown, and are especially
cute and attractive. AS they grow
older their wool bleaches out until
patches of color on the legs are all
that remains.
Until he has built up his flock to
some where near the size he wants it
to be right along Mr.. Horn will breed
his stock at the usual season on &C
count of the greater ease in raising
the lambs. The ewes will be retain.
ed OF course and the interest shown
by local sheep raisers generally in.
dictates that the bucks will find g
ready market locally, as breeders
Judging the foundation stock by the
mother sheep, Mr.. Horn has evident
ly secured a strain of deep mixers
that will turn out marketable lambs
in record time.
Originally the Tunis sheep came
from Northern Africa, but they have
since given so good an account of
themselves in various parts of the
United States and Canada. that there
can hardly be any question as to
their adaptabiIity to Maine. There
are already number of sheepmen in
the State who are making good thing
from hot house lambs of Dorset blood
and they will watch the performance
of the Tunis with especial interest

| SOMERSET man AND
MOTOR CARS
Training Horses Not To Be Afraid of
Automobiles.

A prominent farmer of Canaan,
Maine declares that he can train any
horse or colt to become accustomed
to an automobile and the animal will
not be afraid of it. A year ago he
bought horse that had always been
afraid of an automobile and the man
that sold him said the animal al
ways would be afraid of an automo-
bile. A few days after he got the
horse he was out driving when he
met an automobile. The horse i'm
mediately began to shy and jump to-
wards the ditch. The automobile
stopped and the farmer got out of
the wagon. He patted the horse on
the neck, led him along opposite the
machine and, happening to have an
apple in his pocket, he took 1t out
and gave it to the horse. The ami
NAL had been prancing and backing,
but when he saw the apple, his at
tention was drawn to it and he ate 1t
and apparently became less scared.
When he led the horse several feet
by the machine he gave the animal
another apple and the horse went on
without showing any further signs of
being afraid. A few days later he
saw another machine coming when
he was out driving the horse, and
having prepared for any such emer-
gency, he had taken some small po-
tatoes in his pocket. When the ma
chine was quite a distance away he
jumped out and stepped to the
horses head and gave him some of
the potatoes. While the horse was
eating them, the man beckoned for
the machine to come on, and 1t went
by, the horse not showing any signs
of fear. The next time the farmer
was out with the horse and met
machine, he stayed in the wagon and
when the machine went by the horse
showed no special interest in 1t. The
farmer says that he has tried this
method lately on several horses and
colts and it has worked successfully.
He believes that lots of times the
driver frightens a horse more than
the machine does by the way he acts
when the machine is approaching.
