GROUND UNDER HEAVY TAXES
Mercy Of Extortionate Extract
ors Of Tribute.

People in the Bible times were taxed
heavily. They were on straight levy,
not based on incomes or excess profits.
Payment was compelled and no excuses
made, nor we're there any exemptions
to married men or heads Of families.
Although there were no army or navy
establishments and no airp1ane pro-
gram, the people paid their assess
ments In both gold and silver.
King Solomon compelled the Ca
nantes who were left In the coun-
try to pay him tribute. The rebellion
Of Jeroboam on account Of the heavy
taxes levied by Solomon. after
ward growing into the revolt Of
the Ten Tribes, was the most pre-
tentlous kick against the levy Of the
powers In Bible times. Jeroboam was
at nrst compelled to take refuge in
Egypt, and It was on account Of the
taxes and levies laid by Solomon that
the Israelitss sIid to Rehoboam. the
son Of Solomon. upon the latter's
death:

TWO BIG FACTORS IN
EDUCATION OF HORSE
Future Value and Usefulness De-
pend on Training.
Broken Colt 10 Ono That a Safe to
Handle In Stable or on Road and
viii Promptly Obey Orders Of
Driver or Rider.

The breaking and training of colts
Is Of prime Importance, says the United
States department Of agriculture, he
cause their future value and useful
ness depend to a great extent on
whether or not they are well broken.
By broken colt Is meant one that is
safe to handle in the stable or on the
road and that will promptly obey the
orders of the driver or rider.
Memory and habit are the two main
factors with which we have to deal in
training horses. A horse acts through
instinct and habit, and one of its great
est characteristics Is uniformity of con-
duct. What horse is once trained to
do he will nearly always do under like
conditions.
The first thing in training horse is
to get his attention. The second Is to
make him understand what is wanted
The education Of the horse is based
on reward and punishment. Fhe re.
ward, a pat on the neck, ETC., should
Immediately follow the act Of obedi.
ence. The punishment. to be effective
must Immediately follow the act Of
dlsobedlence.
Few horses are inherently vicious
Many horses are made vicious and un'
reliable by the carelessness or unnec'
essary brutality Of their trainers. II
a horse kicks because the harness
hurts him, or SHES at something Of
which he is afraid, punishment is not
justifiable. If, however, after being
stopped, a horse starts before receiv
ing the command to do so, he should
be punished. Horses are naturally
obedlent, and when thoroughly trained
their conduct Is uniformly good.
A horse should be trained so thai
he thinks there Is no limit to his pow
er to do the things required of him
and believes that he has no power Il
do that which is against the wishes o.
hts driver. Above all, never ask Of {
horse something he Is unable to per
form and then punish him because i
cannot be done. If during the frs
year Of his work colt Is hitched onl!

q Sir Nigel takes place.
The house Of Loring. like many an

Nigel Loriug came of a race of

GET BULLETS IN LAYING SHAPE

Now is the time to get the winter lay.
ing flock started so that it will produce
eggs when the prices are high. H. A.
Bittenbender, poultry expert at Iowa
State college, gives the following adj
vice to help the fanciers along.
One of the most important steps is
to get the pullets in good physical con,
dition for if winter eggs are to be Sc,
cured they must do the work. The old.
err hens, saved out as the flock has been
culled, will soon be going into fall
mott and cannot be expected to lay very
many eggs during the winter.
Maturity before cold weather is the
first thing to be secured in the pullets.
They must be separated from the rest
Of the flock, pullets of the same age
and growth being placed together in
roomy dry, well ventilated quarters,
and protected from the cool, changeable
fall weather. Colds. roup and chicken
poX must be kept out Of the flock. If
a separate house can not be provided
for the pullets, part Of the main house
should be partitioned off for them.
A ground mash should be given in
connection with the grain. While it
may seem that the birds have plenty
the addition of a dry mash will bring
wonderful results. An open self feed,
ing hopper can be placed in a conven.
lent part of the house and filled with a
mash of the following ingredients: 100
pounds of ground corn, 200 pounds of
oats, 100 pounds of gluten
To 100 pounds of this mixture, 20 to
30 per cent of a so per cent protein
tankage or commercial poultry meat
scraps may be added. Allow the pull.
let's to have all this dry mash they care
nor become overfat, but will eat only
enough for their proper development.
The amount of meat scraps to use will
depend, to certain extent upon the
free range that the birds have. AS cold
weather approaches and the hens are
confined 5to the house the largest
amount Of tankage should be used

HARVEST SOY BEANS NOW

Soy beans, especially those to be

the next few weeks when the leaves

With the exception of the Chestnut
variety, which do not lose their leaves
until the seed is dead ripe, the beans
can lie watched and when the leaves
start to drop it indicates the degree Of

FIGHT INSECTS NOW. WITH
'THE pT NV ".

Fall blowing is the most universally
effective way Of controlling the insecr
pests that annually cause great losses
to the grain farmer. 1t is much easier
and cheaper, says the bureau of onto.
mology, United States Department Of
Agriculture, to prevent an insect out
break in this manner than it is to stamp
out the infestation once it is fully de.
veloped. The Hessian fly, so destruct
i've to wheat, is one of the insects that
can hardly be eradicated once it is
established in the crop. Fall blowing
is recommended because it breaks up
the soil and destroys the grubs and
pupae of many insects by exposing
them to the sun and air.

the bureau of entomology, tells how to

bureau advises the grain farmer to

p1cK. THE APPLES EARLY

Apples should be picked when they
are hard ripe is the advice of the horti'
cultural department of Iowa State col.
lege. Do not wait until the apples are
soft ripe or for color. This often gives
trouble since over ripe apples do not
keep.
Apples should be picked in baskets
or crates. being careful to avoid bruis-
es or skin scratches of any kind. These
allow disease bacteria to start to work
and ruin the storing qualities. Always
allow the apples to cool off thoroughly
before placing them into the bin or stor.
age room. Warm apples spoil rapidly,
since bacteria or molds need warmth
to grow.
Be very careful in the selection of
the fruit and Gull out all apples that are
wormy or diseased. Apples with the
stems in keep longer than those with
out, since the stem hole allows germs
to enter. Plan to keep the best fruit
the longest and use the culls first, since
they will spoil first.
Culls can be either cut up and dried
or used for cider and vinegra. Apples
made into vinegar make a very good
marketable product. ILL.,
