The Diamond Drill is indebted TO
Hon. o. b. Fuller for some interest
ing information on the result of the
assessment of mineral reservations in
1912, the first year that the law pro-
viding for the assessment of mineral
reservations went into effect Mr..
Fuller says that number of the de-
scriptions returned on which the tax
was not paid will undoubtedly be re
iected by his Department on account
Of errors in the description or assess
inent In many instances the descrip-
tion OF the mineral reservations have
been indefinite and with the most
liberal construction he will not be
able TO consider them rs valid descrip-
tions The description Of the property
in which the mineral reservation is
assessed should be as clear as the asses
nent of the surface
la number Of cases description
of property is assessed in its entirety,
which would include everything of
value, and the mineral reservation on
the same description is also assessed
as an additional item This would
constitute a double assessment Of the
property and il therefore erroneous.
This can be avoided by the assessing
officer In assessing property where
the surface and the mineral are not
owned by the same person, il he
will use the words less mineral
reservation in the assessment Of the
surface.
Township and village assessors
should adopt uniform system where
they assess the same property as
their descriptions often conflict.
Mr.. Fuller's statement regarding
the assessment OF such property should
be needed by the assessing officers Of
the cou unty.
In order 10 show how the taxes
were treated by the property owners
against whom the tax was spread Mr..
Fuller submits the following table.

PRICKETT HAS THE
CHAMPION JERSEY
COW FROM HIS HERD AT sIDNAw
BROKE WORLDS RECORD
BIG BOOST FOR CLOvfRLAND
Day Is Coming When This Section viii
Be Looked To For Best Cattle Because
OF Natural Conditions

CloverIand gained wonderful VIC
tory last week. Eminent Bess, one of
the cattle in the herd Of Walter s.
Pickett at Sidnaw broke the worlds
record for milk and butter fat produc-
tion in the Jersey and Guernsey
breeds Cloverland has the champion
Jersey COW of the world.
That accomplishment is something
for everyone TO be proud of and Mr..
Prickett deserves lot of praise for
his great outlay, patience and persever-
ence. He always mad great faith in
Cloverland as dairy country and he
has not hestitated to back up his faitn
with his money. The result of his
work is to bring Cloverland promin-
emily before the world as a dairy sec
| tion.
Eminent Bess has been under the
supervision of the Michigan Agricul-
ture college which institution took
charge OF her purposely TO observe
and measure her milk supply. The
years SUPERVISION ended at midnight
Sept 18th and il was found that
Eminent Bess had produced in the IL
months, 1872 pounds fourteen ounces
OF milk; 962 pounds ounces of fat
or 1882 pounds IL ounces of butter.
Since 1908 the Jersey COW, JacOba
Iren of the Auten Farm at Jersey
willie, H.. has held the championship
Of the world for this breed with
yearly record OF II, 257 lbs. or.
milk and 954 lbs. or. butter fat.
while since then Spotsood Daisy Pearl
of the Anna Dean Farm at Barberton,
Ohio, has held the championship of
the world for the Guernsey breed
with yearly record of IL, 602 lbs. IL
or. mix and 957 lbs, 6oz. butter fat.
The banner of high production was set
several notcnes higher up by Eminent
Bess, when she completed her years
work, having produced in the 365
days ls. 7s9 lbs, IA on. of milk, there
oy making new worlds record for
both the Jersey and Guernsey breeds.
The accomplishment of Eminent
Bess has already caused great deal
of discussion about the effect of this
climate upon Jersey cattle. Eminent
Bess was bred in Connecticut where
Mr.. Pricket secured her when she
was three years Of age. Her Brst year
in Cloverland showed big ipcrease In
ter milk production over that In her
Connecticut home.
She weighs but I 200 pounds. being
considerably smaller than the other
prime cows Of Mr.. Prickett's herd.
