about > or minutes. then rubbed of
and the skin washed. This banishes
every trace OF hair and leaves the skin
soft and spotless. BE sure TO get the

LAWS TO BENEFIT
TIMBER OWNERS
Conservation Measures of Permissive
Nature Enacted by Legislature
Efficient Work by Repre-
sentative Taft.

Two important bills relating to the
taxation of forest lands, House bill
422 and House bill 552, were passed
by the recent legislature which are
along the lines of progressive forestry
legislation and form an entirely diff
ferent basis for the taxation of tim
berland than ever has existed in this
state. They are permissive bills, not
requiring that land shall be taxed ac-
cording to their provisions unless the
owners so desire, but they afford an
opportunity for a step in the direc
tion of advanced forestry and are
cOmmendable conservation measures,
i'll connection with which Represent
ativc w. II. Taft of West 1ownshend
did efficient work in connection with
State Forester Halves. They are fash
toned to some extent after the recon-
incubation of a commission appointed
in 1911 by the Connecticut legislature,
which commission spent two years in
the study of conditions in that state.
House bill 552 provides for a tax
on the land alone at rate pot to
exceed So an acre, which valuation
shall not be increased during the pc
riod of growth. When the timber is
matured and cut there shall then be
| collected a yield tax of 10 per cent of
| the stumpage value of the timber cut.
| This applies to either natural or plant
| growth not over - years of age.
/ House bill 422 applies to any natural
| forest growth of - years or over.
Any person owning land suitable to
| be classified as woodland or forest
land may apply to the listers of the
town to have it separately classified
for taxation. If the listers are salts.
fed that the land is suitable for
| growing forest trees it shall hereafter
be classified and taxed under this
act, which provides that it shall be
set in the list at the valuation estab
lished in the last preceding quadren
NAL appraisal and taxes assessed
thereon at the local rates Whenever
a commercial cutting is made from
such land a yield tax is to be assess
ed at rate of one-tenth of ] PEE
cent of the stumpage value of the
timber cut for each year that th'
land has been classified and taxed
under this act.
In the year 1850 a revaluation shall
be made of the land and timbe
standing thereon and taxes shall b.
assessed at the local rate on this re
valuation until such time as a cutting
shall be made on such lot. In no cas-
shall a Weld tax be assessed to ex
ceed z per cent of the stumpage valu
of the timber removed. The act shal
not take effect until Jan. l, 1919
which allows another quadrennial ar
praisal to be made before any land
can be classified under this act.
Under present conditions man
owners of timberland cut off the tree

BOUGHT A FINE FARM.
The Dairy of G. D. and H r. Whit

Students from New London.

The New London, Conn, Morning
Telegraph contained recently an ac-
count of the visit of the pupils of the
manual training school of that city to
the Newburv farm, owned by G. ID.
Whitman and his son, Hugh r. Whit
man, both formerly of Brattleboro.
The elder Whitman resigned Nov. /
last the position which he had held IL
years as manager of the extensive
West End farms of +. NJ. and w.
Ferguson on Fishers Island, and his
son a little earlier gave up the work
which he had carried on four years
as manager of the poultry farm on
the Ferguson estate. In buying the
Newbury farm the Whitmans secured
for a home and business one of the
finest farms in New London county.
They are running a model dairy of
80 cows, selling the milk and cream
in New London. 1t was to inspect the
operations of the dairy that the man

It's influence is wholesome and helpful

shepherd of the story is cultivated and
rough stranger who comes into the hills,

shepherd, and he thankfully accepts the
lowly occupation of a sheep tender but

are Old Matt and Young Matt, the giants
