One-third of the farms operated by
their owners are mortgaged, and the
average farmer is paying IL per cent
on his loans. Nearly 40 per cent of our
farms are run by tenants. We may
expect to see a rapid improvement Of
these conditions--if the farmers do their

PEOPLE AND TAXES.

Already some thinkers are beginning
to worry over the tendency of the income
aud inheritance taxes to disspate cen
| tralized capital The theory is that
large amounts of capital if left in priva g
hands. will be put to socially productive
uses. If one has million dollars he
can lend it to a railroad, and it is sup
posed that this increases the commun-
ity's stock of wealth more rapidly than
the uses which the government makes of
its money. SO it is argued that it ,s
better to tax one million people one dol
lar each than to tax one person million
dollars. person with only dollar is
more likely to spend il for sometime,
which is to be Immediately used up. like
food or theatre tickets. than to make a
capital investment of it. It goes up like
smoke and that is the end of It.
But to stop with this is TO misread
he fact that great wealth, in modern
times, is nothing more than centralized
control over mems labor, and that this

Just as much power and allows it to be

SOME HINTS ON THE DAIRY
BUSINESS.

About one third Of the cows in the
average herd do not make any profit for
their owners, another one third make
some profit, and the remaining oue-third
make the real profit, according to Prof.
c. II. Eckles of the University of Miss
ouri who addressed the Louisiana Dairy
mems Association at their quarterly
meeting held at the Louisiana State Uni
versity. July Is. And the only way TO
ascertain which are the profit producing
animals is to keep records of each in :
dividual COW. The records should be
kept in q business like manner. The
milk should be both weighed and tested,
though the use of the scales Is the more
important for the reason that the guam
tity Of milk produced varies to a greater
degree tha does the amount of butter
fat. Ono man found that one COW in his
herd was giving rs much as two others.
He had never suspected that there was
90 much difference in them until he
weighed the milk from each COW.
Another point stressed by Professor
Eckles IL the value of starting with one
breed and sticking to that breed. Moth
Ing 10 to be gained by mixing breeds.
The object in having breeds 10 to hold |
on to what has been done in the past
towards improving the milk producing |
and other good qualities Of the animal. |
Professor Eckles spoke of community /
breeding - being = wonderful aid to
the dairy industry. Unless there is some
very good reason to the contrary, a man
starting in the dairy business should get
The same kind Of cattle his neighbor has.
The community that has the same breed
