ments Confronted With Ser
ious Problems.

Washington, March 3-Although
the government war risk insurance
bureau is expected to continue for
the present writing insurance on Am
erican ships and cargoes destined to

HECKLE BILL
FOR PASSAGE
ONE MAN TAX COMMISSION
IDEA APPEALS TO MAJOR
ITY OF HOUSE MEMBERS.
8ALOWlN's 'sfLIGul As ORATOR
Treadwell Twichell Gives Elo-
quent Argument in Favor of
Pending Bill.

n Senator Heckle's one man tax com
mission bill was recommended to
pass by the house committee of the
whole, after a lengthy discussion.
Baldwin claimed THAT the purpose
of the bill was to do away with the
non.partisan tax commission and that
it was merely subterfuse. He said
that if the present tax commission had
failed it Is because the commission
has never had the cooperation of the
executive and legislative departments
Of the state government
Not Much Work to Do.
TreadweIl Twichell told wherein
the bill was a good one, how it would
save the state many thousands of dol
lars and also pointed out that other
states are adopting tha one mn tax
commission idea. He quoted figures
showing that the isX commission in
this state has to do with very small
percentage Of the taxable property
that the assessors handle most OF
the property of the state.
c. c. Converse of Williams and Nc.
Kenzie opposed the bill on the ground
that it strikes at the non-partisan
the independence of the
commission and the experienced
membership which is made possible
under the present law by the rotat-
ing membership. 5@
~ Lots Of Advice Given -
j., N. Torson Of Pierce and Sher-
man tHickle of Mercer Oliver and
Dunn both admitted that the tax com
mission had not added enough prop
erty to the tax list from either ono
of the counties in which they reside
10 bear mention, but Still both argued
that the commission was doing a
good work.
+ l.. u. Twichell was another to
speak in behalf of the bill and Noyes
Of Towner opposed it.
Treadwell Twichell's motion to rec
ommend the bill for passage carried
by a vote of so to 45.

HOW TO KNOW SEX OF GEESE
When Fowls Are Six Months Old
Gander May Be Told by Observa-
tion--Hls Call 10 ShriiI.

1t is not an easy thing to tell the
sex of geese.
When they are six or seven months
old one usually can tell the goose from
the gander by observation.
The male in most cases grows larger
than the female.
The female has deeper body slim
mer neck and smaller head.
The call of the gander is long, loud
and shrill, while that of the goose is
merely an answer to it.
1t is a good plan to divide the flock
part on one side of the fence and part
on the other when trying to distin-
guish the sex, when you can distin-
suish most of the ganders by their
calls.
Never look for curled tail feather
or other outside marks. for there are
none.

CALF DURING FIRST SUMMER
Most Important Period " Animals
Life With Respect to its Growth
Use Clean MIX Pals.

(By r. M. WASHBURN, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)
The first year OF calf's life is the
most important with respect to its
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded.
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inheri
lance would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves are born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk In moderate quantities
through much or all OF the summer fol.
lowing birth. On farms having hand
separators there is no difficulty In pro-
viding the sweet milk for calves, morn
Ing and evening; but farmers who pat.
ronize whole-milk creameries or who
still skim by hand should remember
that after the first few weeks milk for
calves should either be thoroughly
sweet or fully sour, that the most dan
gerous condition is the half-sour stage.
II milk is fed to calves when 1t is In
this changing condition It is almost
certain to cause indigestion. 1t should
not be half-sour, nor sour one day and
sweet the next, but always one or the
other.
Clean feeding pals must be used,
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the
infant COW from the slime of the dirty
drinking dish, and with young calves
1t is important that the temperature
at which the milk is fed be nearly that
of the body. Older animals may re-
ceive milk of the temperature of the
WITHHOLDING tank
While it is very important that heif-
ers should have free access to pas
ture during the second summer, to de.
velop strong bodies, the calf need not
have pasture the first summer In
fact, for calves born after the first of
the year. pasturing may be disadvan-
tage. Most young calves in this coun-
try are better off chewing tender hay
in the quiet and half-dark stable than
fighting flies, painting from the heat
and cropping tough grass ia the pas
ture.

point in duck feeding.
A great quantity of food is required
but it must not be too highly concen

good judgment is used in the selection

The latter we put in the drinking

owners failed to furnish grit.

We neversallow the young ones to

At the end of the fifth week those

Instead of moistening the mash with
water, as heretofore, skim milk is used
