MoLDY sILAGE is HARMFUL
Complaints Made That Farmers Lose
Horses and Enthusiastically
Avoid All Spoiled STUFF.

Every winter farmers complain OF
losing horses or mules by feeding
spoiled silage. Damaged or moldy
silage is not flrst-class feed for any
animal. Even cattle should be fed
carefully, but the greatest care should
be exercised with horses and colts.
See that no moldy STUFF gets into their
feed boxes and that none is left
there from one feed to another to
spoil.
Good silage does not hurt horses,
but remember the mold that some
times occurs in spots may kill them
at any time.

THAT RACE MEET

1t was held, as per schedule Last
Thursday and Friday were the days
by far the busiest since the fair of
last September. Most of the business
houses in the city closed for the af-
ternoon of each day; people. fiocked
by the hundreds from every direc-
ton, far and near; jitneys were over
run, and Liberal became a clamoring
metropolis. Weather conditions were
favorable, and everything moved like
clock work.
1t is quite evident that the horse
racing days are not over, by any
means; interest in them has in no
way subsidized. Still the throngs in
the grandstand rise the moment the
horses are off, and stand on tiptoe,
tense, breathless, awaiting the out
come.
There was not a dull moment dur
ing the entire meet. Two ball games
were played, the first being between
Beaver and Liberal, and the second
Liberal and Ochiltree. The races
were we'll filed, and liberal purses
were offered. 1t goes without say
ing that when the Southwest Fair As
ISOLATION is back Of anything it's a
big success from every standpoint.

The Last Edition

When the last of life's Copy is finished
And edited, barring the sin,
When the stress of the toll is diminished,
And final forms wait to go in;
When the types are locked fast in their places
Our lives written there, and their sum
And we're gathered round here in our places
All waiting for $50" to come;
When the Master Hand touches the lever
To run the edition of That Day
Then, my brother of Ever and Ever,
Then what will printed page say?
Will the Chief edit each little error?
Each minor mistake will He see?
Will He visit the Furnishing terror
On mortals helpless we?
Will He see the turned rule in the column
Each marking task left undone?
Will He note with mien, grave and solemn,
Good works that were never begun?
when the Master Hand touches the lever
To run the edition That Day,
Then, my brother of Ever and Ever,
Look well what your pages say!

NORWICH GETS OVER
 ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Is Towns Share Of the Estate Penalty
 Tax Provided by Law.

State Treasurer Frederick s: Cham berlain has announced that 100 towns have received their parts of the estate penalty tax as provided by law The total amount turned over to the vari- ous towns is $40, ,G90.Y6, the largest sum going. to New Haven, which se- cured $9,256.75. The smallest amount goes to Saybrook, which received so cents Treasurer Chamberlain said that the total amount received during the last fiscal year was $51,66427, S80121 of which was repaid to the estates under orders of Tax Commis- sioner William H. Corbin. The amount retained for the state by the treasurer is S10,172.10.
 The first received from this source was on Dec. 30, 1915, and the law, therefore, has not had time to bring expects that something in excess of s200,000 will be received during the year ending Sept. 30, 1917.
 The law provides that all taxable property of any estate upon which no state, town or city tax has been as- sessed or paid during the year preced- ing the death of the decedent shall be liable of a tax of per cent. a year on the appraised inventory value of the property for the five years pre- ceding. According to the law the treasurer shall collect the tax due and reLa1n a part equivalent to 8 tax at the rate of mills a year for the use of the state and shall pay to the town the remainder Of the tax collected, During the past fiscal year the towns have received four-f1fths of the tax collected The estate penalty tax en- forces the investment tax whose time limit for the year expired last month. The investment tax this year brought | in a revenue of $525,s12.4s. The growth of the investment tax is indicated by the following figures: 1918, s1s3. .661. 60: 1914, $251, ,833.22; 1915, $415, ,771.75. The estate penalty tax has apparently had strong effect in increasing the pay ments of the investment tax.
 Hartford's part received from the estate penalty tax is S4,O3s.l2. the amount being next in size to the largest amount paid to any town. The towns receiving parts of the tax and the amount for each town follow:
