Poultry Pointers.

Sell the young cockerels that are not
needed for breeding stock and save
the food that they will consume.
Do not expect the hens that have
been faithful layers during the sum-
mer to keep this up all winter. You
may be disappointed If you do.
Fresh. pure drinking water frequent
ly changed is Indispensable to poultry
health and comfort The fowls do not
enjoy stale drinking water any better
than humans do.
Glover makes splendid winter pas
ture for all kinds Of fowls. Plant
crimson clover in the orchard and let
the fowls have access to It. It will
build up the orchard soil and furnish
nutritious feed for the fowls.
For an autumn and winter feed for
poultry cabbage is well liked. This is
hung up so the fowls can just reach
1t. Large sugar beets are also good.
These are chopped up fine or cut open
or sometimes crushed. Common field
turnips are also good.
If it is. desired to fatten turkeys for
market begin to increase the rations
gradually: Never attempt TO fatten
birds which In successive weiRhings
show loss of weight. Overlooking
does not cause blackhsad, but It does
frequently cause the sudden death Of
birds in which blackhead IL present.

age supervisor of assessment
is certainly not less intelli-
gent than the average cruiser
why should he not therefore
be able to learn in due time
at least enough of this bust
ness to make a fair estimate
of timber?
Every supervisor should
take interest enough in his
work to find out what timber
there is in the county. It is
one of the largest items.
For Bayfield, County it is over
25 per cent of the total valua-
ton.
To get at the true market
value of a. piece timber land
we have to. be very careful not
to do injustice. We cannot al
ways place the same value on
it even if there is no difference
in the quality and quantity OF
the standing timber. Size of
tract, location, cost of logging
and hauling are. Of the great.
est Importance. Iknow some
good hemlock timber on which
l could place only a very
small valuation for the reason
that the cost of logging and
hauling would be as much as
could be realized out of the
logs.
In fact hemlock costs to-
day, in good many localities,
more to loggers than tae logs
are worth. This kind of limb
er owned by farmers and
small owners in Bayfield, as
well as in . Ashland Coun-
rty and is at present al.
most worthless. There are
two Companies, one in each
county, who monopo1ize the
whole output and fix the
price they pay to farmers at
$3.50 per 1000 feet and itcosts
all of that to log. For stump
age there is nothing left. The
farmers in Ashland Count
ty have to sell to one COM

pany and in Bayfield, to an
other. They cannot sell to
the pulpmills direct, nor will
the tannery take their bark.
Everything is handled
through the companies who
have large contracts at$11.5O
per 1000 feet. These con-
tracts run until 1926. Both
Companies own large tracts
of hemlock and hardwood
land and conduct their logg-
ing operations by their own
railroads thereby reducing
cost of logging to a minimum.
Consequently their timber
should be assessed at a high
er rate than that of a farmer.
1t has a higher market value
for the reason that one or
two torties are often so lOcat-
ed or isolated, that it will not
pay to build Il logging road to
it, whereas it will pay to
build a temporary railroad to
a large tract, thereby secur.
ing the cheapest way of haul
ing the logs to market.
Sometimes the location OF
timber lands is in so remote
and rough parts of the couD-
ty that it's present value is
almost nothing.
In fairly, good locations ]
have valued pine and norway
timber at about S.. 90 per 1000
feet on the stump. Not long
ago [ estimated a certain
quarter of a section of this
timber at only {4.O0 per 1000
feet, on account of the very
rough location and distance
to haul. To keep we'll inform
ed we must search the re-
cords about sales and con-
tracts of timber lands, and
also keep tab on the market
value of logs, lumber etc.
It is far more important tc
know the value of our limb
Ter than our cut over lands
We have sections of timber
land representing value Of
about S80,0O0.00 each, more
than good many cut over
townships are worth. A copy
of my report to the County
Board was mailed to every
one of you. and if you reae
the introduction and explana'
tions you will find, that I com
puted the valuations Of the
most valuable timber lands
separately from the valuation
| of the other real estate in the
district for the reason that
these timber lands were not
assessed at the same basis.
In regard to the products Of
our timber lands [ must say
that there is a decided i'm
provement in the assessment
, but not as much as it should
be. Since the reassessment
of the town of Iron River
ordered by our Tax commits

to get all this property on

one lumber yard to the other
through the whole county,
and by the 18th day-of May-1
know very we'll how much
lumber should 60 on the as
sessment rolls. II we do not
keep up our vigilance we will
see in some instances per-
haps not ] of the amount ,on
hand assessed. This was the
case in iron River two years
ago, where the assess or
could only find 5000, 600 feet
and my rough estimate was
l3, 500, 900 feet of lumber.
Under our present SYSTEM
we will never get the logs all
on the rolls, and I blame our
laws for it. Section 104U pro-
vides that saw logs and tim
Der which are to be sawed
or manufactured in any mill
within this state which is
owned or leased by the
owner of such logs or timber
or in which such logs or tim
Der are to be manufactured by
or for the owner thereof shall
be assessed as manufacturers
stock in the district where
such mill may be located.
Gentlemen with all reverence
for our legislature think this
is a joker, furnishing the
loop-hole for big tax dodgers
as I will explain by a few ex-
amples. We have a small saw
mill in the town of Port
Wing. The owner of this
mill did have some logs In
the town of Orienta. The
assessor of Orienta was in
formed by the man who cut
these logs, they belonged to
the Port Wing party. I hap.
pened to be in Port Wing at
tending the meeting of the
board of review when the own
er Of these logs swore he did
not own them on May 1st.
The board of review of Orien-
ia was adjourned but 1 insist
ed that their logs should go
on the roll and the clerk put
the m on as omitted. If I had
not been in Port Wing at the
time these logs would have
escaped taxation. The last
days of June I found IN the
town of Washburn 4, 900, 600
feet ofmostly oak logs belong
ing to a wausau party. The
assessor was wrongly inform
ed that these logs. belonged
to a mill owner in the city of Wash
burn and would be assessed there.
I told him to assess these logs to
T. M. Smith of Wausau which he
did, and the valuation was
fixed at $4,000. I met Mr..
Smith and he wanted to get
the assessment reduced. First he
acknowledged ownership, but when
he found out that ] would not re-
duce the assessment ne told me
that he did not own them. In the
following conversation it came out
that Mr.. Smith was the owner al
right, but that another party ad-
vanced him some money on them
Mr.. Smith went the next day to
Wausau and two days after this I
got a letter from the Underwood
c.. of Wausau with, a statement
from brother Cook that the logs
were assessed at Wausau. The We
neer Co. claimed 400 900 feet of this
property. Now I don't blame Mr..
Cook but it looks to me that he was
taken in, as Mr.. Smiths statements
to me and the following will show.
On or after the first of July I met
the scaler of the Veneer Co. who
told me that his company
agreed to take all the No. !
red oak logs, and they were to
be loaded on cars before it became
their property. The scaler started
the day before I met him to pick out
the logs and l know two months

Offer Special inducements

The directors of the newly organized
Board OF Trade held their first meeting
on Tuesday evening, with all the officers
and members present.
Several important matters were
thoroughly discussed, and if the directors
continue to show the same interest in the
movement to do something for the ad.
vancement of Middletown as characterize
their first meeting, the efforts of Mr..
William E. Wright and others who were
instrumental in forming the local
organization will be well rewarded.
The possibility Of establishing broom
factory here as discussed in The IRAN
SCRIPT last week, was talked over, and
Mr.. ]. L. Shepherd was instructed to
investigate the matter. Mr.. W. S.
Leatherbury was appointed committee
OF one to interview Mr.. LOWS Topkis OF
Wilmington who has expressed a desire
to establish shirt factory here. Mr..
Letherbury was also instructed to arrange
a joint meeting with the members Of the
Town Commissiners,tb the Light and Water
Commissioners and the Board of Trade,
The object Of this meeting will be to
learn what inducements the town officials
will permit the Board of Trade to offer
prospective manufacturers;and to talk over
some other local improvements.
