PROFIT IN GEESE AND DUCKS
Fowls Are important Adjunct to Farm
and farmers Living Near Water
Should Raise Them.

Those living close to water should
raise geese and ducks. They will ge,
large part of their food from the
streams and swamp lands, requiring
very little grain during the summer
months.
Toulouse geese are hardy, early
layers and prolific, often raising two
broods of goslings year. The young
early take care of themselves on good
pasture and grow rapidly. They should
have oatmeal made into mash daily
and afterward few oats or barley
scattered over the grass late In the
evening. BY careful feeding they grow
very fast and by Christmas have been
known to weigh 20 pounds each. Emb
den geese grow to large size and are
said to be nearly equal to the Tou
louise variety in early maturity.
OF the four varieties of ducks
Rouen, Cayuga, Aylesbury and Penng
we give the preference to the last fol
size, early maturity, abundance Of
eggs, hardness and domestic habits

WHICH ARE BETTER LAYERS?
PouItrymen Are Debating Whether
Hen or Pullet ls Capable of
Greater Egg Production.

No matter how successful we may
become IN any business we are try
Ing all the time to find how we may
increase our profits. To increase our
profits means, Of course, an increase
in the output of our goods, whatever
it may be. Poultrymen are now de-
batting whether the hen or the pullet
Is capable Of the greater egg produc-
ton. There is good argument on both
sides, says the American Cultivator.
Some claim that while hens lay less
than pullets they lay larger and heav-
Ter eggs, and because Of this fact the
eggs command better price than
those laid by pullets This is true, but
in many sections of the United States
eggs are sold without grading, and
consequently the smaller egg is able
10 command as good a price as the
larger one.
Others are in favor of pullets be-
cause they lay SO many eggs which,
they claim, possess a better flavor
han those laid by hens. No one dis
3utes the fact that pullets lay more
eggs than hens.
The question OF which is the better,
lens or puuets, will never be an

FOUR MURDERERs HANGED.
Oregon Governor Permits Executions
In Aone IF Educatjno electors

In Hope of Educating Electors.
Salem, Ore, Dec 15.-Despite the
efforts of the Anti-Capital Punishment
league to save them four murderers
were hanged in the penitentiary in
this city within a few moments Of
each other.
The quartet had been under re-
prieve, granted by Gov. Oswald West
for varying periods in order that the
electorate of the state might have an
opportunity to pronounce it's verdict
whether the men should hang. The
verdict was given on November 5 and
was in favor of hanging. Governor
West turned a deaf ear to the scores
of appeals that he save the mems
lives He declared that he would let
the hangings go en-, as he believed
that that was the only way 10 con-
vince the people OF the state that legal
hangings should be discontinued.
The men executed were Frank Gar
rison. Noble Paulder. H E. Roberts
and Mike Morgan, all murderers from
obscure counties in the state.

London, Dec 1.-THE peace confer

task of arranging terms of permanent
peace between the Balkan states and
Turkey. began at noon Monday in his
toric st. James palace, the picture gal
lery having been set aside for the use
of the plenipotentiaries.
Prior to their assembling an au-
thoritative declaration Of what terms
the victorious kingdoms propose to
enforce and the Turkish views there
on was obtained from the delegates.
The determination of the Balkan
states not to allow an Ottoman policy
of procrastination is significant.
THE Turks are much mistaken,
said one of the chief delegates, II
they entertain such an idea. Peace
will practically be concluded between
Christmas and New Years in ST.

Constantinople at Easter, under the
range of our cannon and at the point
of our bayonets.
Now we are satisfied with the
minimum demands; then we will ex'
act the maximum"

Prof. O'Shea Smoking robs pupils

high school principals declare that
from so to 80 per cent of high school

TO ABOLISH PERSONAL TAX
State Commission Urges That In
come Tax Be Made to include
All Assessments.

Madison.-The abolition of the
personal property tax in Wisconsin is
recommended in the annual report of
the state tax commission. This move
follows the recommendation of the
republican state platform, and may
be put through at the coming session
of the legislature.
The abolition will mean:
Exemption from taxation of the
farmers livestock, vehicles and mis-
cellaneous personal property; a great
saving to manufacturers and mer-
chants whose stocks have been taxed
under this law, and the possibility
of saving 100000 to the taxpayers
OF the state every four years by the
real estate, a new assessment to be
made only once in four years.
Certain classes of personal prop
erty the commission does not want
exempted. Among these are bank
stocks, public utilities and automo-
biles. A horsepower or weight tax
on automobiles is recommended
1t is pointed out in the report that
the income tax yielded within $780,
600 of the personal property tax for
1911, that 1911 was a bad year for
incomes because of the drought, and
that in 1912 the income tax will yield
more than the personal property tax.
The commission also advises that
the state corporation law be amended
$50 that the property OF smaller cor
,porations will secure a decreased as
isessment and that of the larger cor
!porations greater assessment
The report recommends that the
property of street railway companies
be assessed locally and that the pay
ment Of these taxes be made semi
ANNUALLY instead of annually.
Another recommendation is to the
effect that real estate taxes be as
sessed every four years instead of an.
nually as at present. The commits
sion holds that the assessment of rea
estate at present is merely a matter
of copying the records of former
years and that this defect in the mat
ter Of making assessments could be
overcome.
