GRAY county is located in that part
of the country where the grass Is
short ana the looks are long. In the
great seaport city of Cimarron is the
residence of Mr.. Brice. Democrat and
lawyer. Out there he is known as
Harry, and he brought that intimate
name with him. He is called Harry
around the legislature, and he Is called
frequently because of his genial ma
ture and his good judgment. The visi-
tor at the house will soon observe q

And Nothing Has Been Offered
to Fiji the Gap.

At the present session Of the legis-
1ature the senate has passed bills cut
ting off more than three-quarters of q
million dollars of the states tax reve-
nue.. without putting back anything to
take its place. The house of represen-
tatives has already headed off one Of
these bills-that of abolishing the
state dog tax. which was worth about
500, 900 to Kansas-And it probably
will defeat the other. the state mort
gage registration bill. The mortgage
registration bill proposes to lop Off
100000 or moro OF taxes from mort
cages.
Although it provoked a lot of argu-
ment and many charges that 1t was
fool legislation" the state dog tax
has been moneymaker for Kansas.
original form with which 1t was intro
duced and its author. Senator J. III.
StaveIey OF Lyndon. proposed its re-
peal by the present legislature. The
senate showed the repeal bill through
in fast order. but when it got to the
house of representatives that body
paused to consider the prospective loss
OF a substantial bit of state revenue.
1t finally refused to repeal the tax.
Now it looks as though the house
might head off the mortgage registra-
ton bill. Representative w. D.
Thompson of Morton county has an
nOunced that he will start fillbueter
against it. He calls 1t class legtala-
ton and declares the state Will receive
no adequate benefit compromising for
the loss of a lot of revenue. The bill,
drawn up by subcommittee of the as
sessment and taxation committees of
both houses, exempts all real estate
mortgages from taxation but falls to
give any relief for unsecured notes or
chattel mortgages, where interest
charges rest the heaviest.
Thompson of Morton declares that
senate bill No. $50 to be a vicious
piece of class legislation. which viii
not secure the benefit of lowered in
terest charges it promises. He de-
clares that in Oklahoma, where
mortgage registration law is operative,
there has been no important reduction

not proven q popular measure In the
states where it has been tried. Nor

of the College of Agriculture has fin
ished design for a septic tank to be
built Of terra Gotta pipe, and arrange
ments have been made with manufac-
turers. of this class of goods to sup
ply an outfit complete. The only in
formation needed is the number of peo-
pie in the family and the class of soil
the drainage beds are to be placed in
No more sanitary way has been dis
covered for the disposal of drainage
and sewage than by the use OF the
septic tank.
The cost for family of from to
should be about $40 to $25 for the
material needed. There is nothing
complicated in the installation and the
work can all be done by the pur-
chaser.

will send blue prints to any one ap.
plying for them, showing methods Of

MILK FLOW LOST WHEN
PASTURE FAILS CAN
NOT BE RESTORED a
w. n. Howell, Field Agent In Dalrying,
Georgia State College OF Agriculture

The failing of the pasture in the fall
will cause the dairyman and farmer
serious loss if he does not fortify
against it with supplemental feed. The
COW that is allowed to fall off in milk
flow because Of lack of feed will
not come back to her original flow.
Some Of the grasses lose some of their
feed value toward the end of their sea-
son, and while appearing to- be suffi-
GENTLY abundant, may, in fact, fall far
short of providing the COW what she
needs. If there is any late green corn
or other late growing plant available,
cut some of it and feed to the COW,
adding a pound Of cotton seed meal
for each five pounds of milk. When
green feed fails, of course, silage is the
best substitute, but, In the absence of
that, plenty of good roughage and the
proper amount Of concentrates should
become available as soon as there is
evidence of failing Of the pasture.
