BALK ON PAYMENT
OF CAPITATION TAX

Doubt has arisen in the minds Of
some people, whether payment Of the
capitation tax. imposed by City Coun-
ell on all male citizens, p years and
over, can be enforced.
Section so of the city charter gives
Council the right to rate every male
citizen above twenty-one for capt.
tation or poll tax i'm addition to the
assessments on his real estate at a
capital not exceeding $4,000 nor more
than 500 The present capitation
tax is made on a basis of 500.
While the statue gives lien on
real estate for the non-payment OF
taxes assessed on real estate. it is
stated that according to the interpre-
tations made by the court the statute
does no give a lien on personal prop
erty, even for real estate taxes until
distress is made. There seems to be
no provision for the enforced collec-
ton of the capitation tax.

BALANCING THE cows RATION

Cheapest Food.

In making up ration for cows n II
desirable 10 feed as much roughage
as possible because II is usually the
farmers cheapest feed However.
the capacity OF the animal Is limited
and we must be ruled by common
sense.
II In possible 10 balance ration In
protein. carbohydrate and fat with
only coarse dry roughage which the
COW would not be able 10 consume in
large enough quantities to produce a
reasonable amount Of milk. II is easy
to balance a ration Of grain alone
which Is also undesirable
The ration should be balanced in
amount Of roughage and grain as well
as In protein, carbohydrate and fat.
The amount Of grain by weight should
rarely equal the amount Of dry rough
age and should usually be less than
one-half. This does not apply where
such roughage as silage is fed. be-
cause silage contains more moisture
and weighs heavier than other rough
age.

IMPORTANCE OF THE BARREL
Business Part Of Dairy Cow Should
Be Well Rounded and lons-le9s
Should Curve Out.

The Darrell is the business part Of the
COW, hence II should be well rounded
and long. The ribs should be far
apart and well sprung. The back
should be long and slightly arching
The long tail is simply an indication
OF long spinal column. The legs
should be curved out, In order TO give
ample room for the udder between.
This should be square. well set behind
and extending we'll forward The teats
should neither be too long nor too
short. and set square on the four quar-
tiers. The texture OF the udder should
be like that of soft glove. so that
when II is MIXED out. IL would col
lapse. The whole form should be
wedge-shaped. No one OF these points
taken alone is a safe guide; taken
collectively they are safe to Indicate
good COW.

RESTING PERIOD FOR A cow
From Six to Eight Weeks 10 consld-
cred About Right for Good Daily
Animal, Says hosrd's.

II is considered better for COW and
her calf TO give the COW rest be-
tween her periods OF lactation, says
Hoard's Dairyman. From six TO eight
weeks Is considered about right for a
good dairy COW. 1t is not wise. how
ever. to force a persistent mixer dry.
Care must be taken at this pc
Rod or there is danger OF the udder
becoming caked and permanently in
iured.
With a COW that persists in giving
milk 12 months In the year II Is
well 10 decrease her ration and give
her nothing but dry feed when she Is
nine and a half months along In her
period of lactation-that is. II she
has been bred TO calve ~ months
from the beginning of her period OF
iactation. As n rule. II Is not difficult
TO dry COW on II proper attention
Is given at this period.
