Taxes on the Increase.

An increase Of $500. 900 in taxes
collected in Minnesota in 1913, COM
pared with the figures Of the previous
year, is shown in the annual abstract
prepared under the direction of Sam
uel G.. Iverson, state auditor. This alb
stract shows that the state collected
for all taxes in 1895 the sum Of $14,-
77o,S64, in 1903 a total Of $685. 1877,
and that the taxes, in spite Of the
vast increase in gross earnings and
other special taxation, have more
than doubled in ten years since being
S45.763,3S2 in 1913. The average tax
rate increased nearly 6 mills in 1918,

EVENING Grain Letter.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Wheat-Has rul-
ed dull and featureless, the news has
been rather unimportant and save for
a ouch of colder weather in the
| northwest Their was little Of import
ance in the days developments. Ex-
port bids did not follow the higher
Liverpool cables and omestic cash de-
mand Was only of ordinary proper
tons. Some apprehension was Great
ed by the cold "a in the northwest
but weather predictions indicate that
it will lose much Of it's severely when
it over spreads the winter wheat Sec
tons. The foreigners are apparently
in the market for wheat on the de-
clines, but not willing to follow ad-
vances far and until their buying be-
comes insistent enough to follow ad-
vances, our futures will hold ire
gularly around present pri ces.
Corn-Has ruled strong through
out the day. There was an utter abb
sense Of selling pressure except at
top prices and values closed tonight
a shade higher than last nights finals
figures. Cash demand for better
graded corr was improved but the
poorer stuff still was hard Of sale
Advices from many portions Of the
belt indicate that recent mild weather
is causing a break up in roads and
interfering with country movement
Eastern markets reported not much
change in demand and yet purchases
by them indicated hat consumptive
demand east must have improved. We
continue to feel that purchases are
available on all set-backs, such as
experienced yesterday.
Oats-Did little but hold steady for
the day. They were handicapped by
a poor cash demand in spite of small
primary movements. Eastern demand
was still absent and is evidently
awaiting the outcome of government
reserves before moving independent
ly.

With a Hog Motor Hogs
Grind Their Own Grain
reprint from Technical World for February

tReprins from Technical World for February
The hog raisers at the agricultural sta.
tion out in South Dakota make the ami
mails grind their own grain before v
are permitted to eat it-not because the
experts are too azy, but because the
exercise has been found to be good for
the hogs. This grinding is done In a.
Hog Motor" which has a stationary
burr in the center, with additional burrs
attached to the inner edge of a drum.
The grain is poured into this drum and
the hogs, seeing the meal in the small
openings at the bottom, attempt to root
it out with their shouts. They push
and push around after it, all the time
causing the drum to revolve and the
grain to grind into meal, which drops
down for the hogs to eat. All of this is
not only excellent for the hogs diges-
ton, but puts him also in prime shape
for the butcher.
Stock raisers explain that animals
while fattening require exercise. The
advantage of having hogs do their own
grinding may be appreciated when it in
learned that experiments made by hog
raisers and experts in Maine, Ohio, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and Wis.
cousin have shown that it is more eco
nomical to feed whole grain to hoga
because the additional expense incurred
in grinding does not pay for the small
increased gain in flesh. But if that gain
can be obtained without additional ex~
pense, then the meal should be fed.

toFthe Family Portrait Gallery, a
clever arrangement by Miss Nichols.
The whole affair was a great success.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Sentiment on
wheat last night was decidedly mixed
but it seemed to be the general i'm
preston that May wheat would hold
around "a n So cents for some time.
1t was freely remarked that there were
no very large short lines out and that
the trade in general was long, although
yesterdays break has cut down the
holdings somewhat and bulls who took
advantage of the bulge at CSC for May
were in good shape to support the mar
ket If any further decline came. Corn
bulls expressed satisfaction at the ac-
ton of the market yesterday in the
face of the comparatively slow cash
demand and bearish Argentine news.
They believe that values will work
higher. Cash sales wheat $4,000 bush
els; corn 100, 600 bushels ana oats 1885,
