CATTLE RANGE IN COAL YARD.
Angus Herd Thrive In Novel
Chicago Pen.

Aberdeen Angus Herd Thrive In Novel
Chicago Pen.
A promising herd of beef cattle was
raised In a Chicago coal yard.
Most people when they hear of the
droves of cattle that furnish meat
connect them with the boundless
ranges of the west, of the great black
soil farms of Illinois and Iowa, of the
Dakotas and with the herds of Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas.
But here is plump, sleek little
creature that belongs to the particular
tribe that just now is claiming front
rank among the great beef tribes, as
she Is an Aberdeen Angus. This ami
NAL has been kept in boxlike stable,
sixteen feet square, located in the rear
of a Chicago coal yard all of her life.
There is small side yard, three
cornered lot. In which she has taken
all of the exercise she got in her en-
tire life. In the same stable the moth
er of this heifer has produced two
other calves, one of which is prom
Using head of an Angus herd. All of
these animals are of pure bred stock.
The owner Of this Chicago herd of
cattle Is Francis Z. Mckee, who lives
in Chicago, but owns a 900 acre farm
near Groton, s. D. From this farm
about four years ago he brought a
pure bred COW, Groton Isabella, and
stabbed her In his coal yard. Since
then three calves have been added to
the little coal yard herd.

The casual observer may think the
life of the dairy COW sinecure. Let
him listen to Health Commissioner
Evans and be disenchapted. Dr. Evans
ascribes the prevalence of tuberculosis
in cows-just proved by government
tests in the Chicago dairy district-to
the hard labor imposed on cows
This hard labor is producing milk IN
maximum quantities under unnaturai
and artificial conditions, according to
DR.. Evans.
"Ir is the most natural thing under
the sun that cows should succumb to
tuberculosis when we consider their
environments and their excessive Ia
bor," said Dr. Evans. Dairy COWS
work too hard and rest too little. Man
ufacturing milk is the hardest work
in the world.
"The OK has plenty Of fresh air,
working in the open, while the COW is
imprisoned month after month at her
stanchion in poorly ventilated barn
full of bad odors and disease breeding
germs. --..-.s. 7
"Dairy cows in the Chicago district
are overfed and overworked. They
go to pieces in five years, but they are
kept at the grind of producing milk
much longer than that. Nature has in
| tended that COW only should feed her
offspring. Now, calf is well fed on
eight quarts of milk day. A good
Holstein cow produces thirty quarts g
day under the artificial conditions OF
our dairy districts. enough to feed
nearly four calves"

fore The Generdl Assembly

Columbus, O., March 9-Another
measure intended to aid the deputy
state tax commissioner in each -coun,
ty in his work OF listing property for
taxation at its true value In money, is
the one requiring that real considera-
ton for all transfers of property must
be given. The house taxation COM
mittee will advocate the new meas
ure, which will forbid the use of the
phrases, 81 and other considera-
tions" etc.
AS a measure of rectifying false re-
turns, insurance policies, as indica.
tive of the minimum value of proper
ty, are to be used by taxing officials.
In securing proper returns of person
al property much reliance will be had
on the provision of the Edwards bill,
authorizing deputy assessors to ad-
minister oaths. Many men will make
false statements on blanks left at
their homes to be mailed to the as
SCISSORS, but they would hesitate to
hold up their hands and take an oath
to the same statements, for perjury
is felony.
When most men argue that the 10
tax rate bill is not feasible, they for
get the other tax measures which will
make it practicable by increasing the
personal property returns. Standing
alone the Smith 10 tax rate bill
might be failure, but with the ma
,chinery, of other tax measures it will
be success and a blessing to the
class Of property owners who have
been bearing more than their just
burden of taxation.
Members of the Ohio house of rep
resentatives have planned to amend
house rules SO as to stop the iniquit-
GUS practice by committees in smoth-
ering measures referred to them for
consideration. Under existing rules
when bills are shelved by committees
it is necessary to take them away by
majority vote in order to get action
on them in the house and courtesy
has always helped the committee. In
some instances committees have
thwarted the will of the house men,
bers. Under the amendment plan all
committees will be required to re-
port any action taken on bill, and
then the house members will decide
for themselves what action to take
when a committee indefinitely post
pones, tables or otherwise shelves a
bill.
