legume hay is available, one or two
pounds of cottonseed meal may be
used to good advantage. Protection
from cold and wet weather should al
so be provided, especially at time OF
calving. When the calf is old enough
to eat, see that it gets sufficient feed
to make satisfactory growth. To
withhold feed from a growing calf is
to waste it. The calf that lies down at
night without having made some gain
has largely wasted the feed that was
given it.

MICHIGAN TAX CROOKS
More Suits Filed in Van Buren,
County, Michigan, to Remove
Clouds on Titles Than in Any
Other County in the United
States.
Land Sharks and Others So Bold In
Their Juggling Of Books and De.
scriptions That Uncle Sam
May Get Them.

There are more suits filed in the
courts Of Van Buren, County, Michi-
gan, to remove clouds from land titles
than there are fled for that purpose
In any other county in the United
States, including those containing the
largest cities in the country.
There have been more professional
land thieves at work in Van Buren,
County than in any other county in
the United States, and they are still
at work.
Men connected with certain lines
OF business and using officials elected
In some townships as their tools are
engaged all of the time In clouding
the titles OF honest and bona fide land
owners.
This fact has done more to keep the
county back than any other thing.
The bad name given to this part of
the State OF Michigan by the land
crooks is becoming by.word through.
out the nation.
Many of these crooks claim land
on the strength OF tax titles-ob.
tanned after the rightful owners had
paid the taxes-through juggling Of
descriptions and tax books.
Efforts are to be made to reach
some of them through Federal action,
as the peculiar kold they have on local
authorities precludes hope of reform
In that direction.
Victims OF these bands of crooks
are advised that II they live outside
Of Michigan they can bring suit
against officials, hackers, brokers or
others who damage them or their In.
terests In the U. s. courts.
The citizens OF Van Buren, County
should wake UP to the situation and
retire these grafters to the peniten-
tiary or to some other place where
their public records cannot injure the
community.
Van Buren, County is naturally rich
in soil, delightful In climate and geo.
graphically ideal for success In every
line.
Its prospects have been blighted.
The testimony of all outside people
who have invested there Is that they
have been skinned and bothered by
the land shark syndicate.
