TAXES HELD UP BY COURTS
RULING

The Gre, It Court for Freder-
lex has unanimously decided that
the legislative act giving the
State Tax Commission authority
to order a new assessment in the
counties of Maryland, is uncon-
stitutional in that the legislature
has delegated it's powers to the
Tax Commission, when it alone
can order an assessment. The
Constitution provides that the
legislature shall by uniform rules
provide for the reassessment of
property, and under the act in
question it is attempted to give
this power to the Tax Commiss
ion. The question will now
have to 60 to the Court of APP
peals for settlement, and there
will be no assessment this year.
The State Tax Commission,
has adopted a resolution for an
appeal to the higher court from
the decision of the Circuit Court
for Frederick County declaring
invalid the acts of the General
Assembly of 1916, by which the
commission had prepared for
reassessment Of all real estate
in the counties. Chairman Cor
man, of the commission, follow
ed up this resolution in a letter
to the Court of Appeals asking
for a special sitting of the court
at the earliest practicable
moment, in order that the COM
mission may proceed with the
reassessment at once if the rul-
ing of the lower court is upset.
In the meantime the commission
will proceed with the completion
of plans for the revaluation, the
force of clerks, which was in
creased prior to the decision be-
ing engaged in filing and copy
ing records of property sales
throughout the state as aids to
the assessors.
On a close study, of the decis-
ion of the Frederick Court, the
fact became apparent that if
there is no reversal by the high
er court there will have to be an
extra session of the General AS
sembly to pass laws to enforce
the payment of taxes through
out the State, the claim being
made that the decision of the
lower court nullifies all acts for
the assessment of property, and
therefore also for the collection
of taxes. This would mean that
there would be no funds avail
able to meet the states obliga-
tons, including the payment of
salaries in the counties.

The farrowing pen should provide
quiet, safe and comfortable place for
the SOW. Light, cleanliness and free
dom from dampness and drafts are es-
sential. A guard rail should be pro-
vided to keep the SOW from crushing
the pigs.
Feeding the SOW so that she is prop
erly nourished and not overfat is the
most important of the herdsman's du-
ties. She should have succulent feeds,
such as pasture or forage in summer,
and In winter bran or other laxative
feeds should be given, so that consti-
patton and fever may be less likely to
develop.
The feed for the SOW at narrowing
time should be sloppy and limited in
amount. Nothing but lukewarm water
should be given to the SOW during "a
hours previous to narrowing. This
same rule should be observed after
narrowing. The first "a hours after
narrowing the SOW should have no feed
but should be given a liberal drink OF
warm water. If, however, she shows

and middlings should be given. The
feeding for the first three or four days
should be light and the time consumed
in getting the SOW on full feed should
be from a week to ten days, depend
ing on the size and thrift of the litter.
There is no place equal to good
pasture for the brood SOW and her lit
ter. Alfalfa, clover, rape, oats, rye,
vetch, peas, or native pasture afford
succulent nutritious feeds which
keep both SOW and pigs in good condi-
ton. Little pigs will learn to eat the
forage with the SOW at about ten
days OF age if they have some palat-
able pasture.
Sunlight and clean, dry sleeping
pens aid materially in starting the
pigs of and in securing rapid, econom-
ical growth. Feed the sows well and
the little pigs will soon learn to eat
of their mothers feed. Cause both
the SOW and pigs to take plenty Of
exercise whether or net on forage or
pasture crops.
The dry SOW or bred SOW should be
handled as economically as possible,

FORAGE CROPS ARE
FAVORED FOR HOGS
Clover Pasture Affords One of
Cheapest Substitutes for
Grain for Swine.
Ry ANDREW BOSS, College of Agricu1-
ture, University Of Minnesota

By ANDREW BOSS, College of Agricu1
ture, University of Minnesota
The profits from next years hog
crop depend on getting an early start
and a good growth on the spring pigs.
Grain feed is likely to be scarce and
high priced on account Of the loss Of
the corn crop last fall. Good forage
can be made to go a long way toward
taking the place of grain in maintain
ing the brood SOW and starting the
spring litter of pigs. Records Of gains
show that an acre Of clover will give
as large a gain on hogs as 1,400 to
1900 pounds of shorts
If good clover pasture can be pro-
vided, it will be one of the cheapest
substitutes for grain that can be found.
If provision for clover pasture or for
forage crops has not been made, sub
stitute crops can be grown. One OF
the best substitutes is mixture Of a
bushel of oats and IL bushels of Can
ada field peas. These should be sown
just as early as the ground is ready
to receive the seed. They will make
a good pasture in five or six weeks
Dwarf Essex rape is also a popular
hog forage. This may be sown early,
also, though it grows faster when not
sown until the ground is reasonably
warm. A mixture of half bushe1 Of
oats, three pounds Of Dwarf Essex
rape and two pounds of medium-red
clover sown on an acre Of ground
about May 1 will make splendid sum
mer feed after the middle of June. To
follow this, corn sown in drills Sc
inches apart with rape sown broadcast
after the com has been cultivated
once or twice will make excellent late
summer and early fall feed, especially
for the growing rigs.
By the use of these forage crops
very much can be done to stimulate
the growth Of the pigs and to put
them in good condition for fall fatten
ing. If a small amount of shorts and
some skim milk can be provided fol
the young pigs with the forage, excel
lent gains will be made.
