DELAWARE COUNTY BUYS THE
BEST,

sey hogs recently attended the ]. w
Walker sale at Waterloo, and paid the
j long price Of $3,35o.0 for a tried SOW.
Mr.. Cook has bona fide offer Of SIS
5000 for the best boar pig from the
litter and 100000 for one Of the sows
open after weaving time. Our friend
Howard also purchased another SOW
for $4,000.
II anyone. questions the type OF
breeding stuff being imported into
Delaware County let him consider the
Judgment Of others who are willing
to put substantial offers on the pro-
duction Of such high bred animals. It
10 unusually customary for folks at
home to think that things are very
common and that they have to go from
home to buy what they need Often
times their judgment is wrong. A man
will pay from $125 to $50 for COW
and after the cost Of maintenance Ia
deducted it may equal an income of
+ $50 to 500 year while the same a.
mount Of money invested In q pure
bred SOW will return at least 500 to
5000 profit, depending upon the SOW
and the breeding
We hope that our friend Howard is
successful with these animals and
that Delaware County will be enriched
BY the valuable breeding which he had
secured.
HURLEY BROS SALE A SUCCESS
Hurley Bros sale Of Poland Chinas
was well attended and might be term
ed quite success considering that it
Il the first offering that the Hurley
Bros have made, but the people ex-
pressed their confidence In the bids
that were offered.
The price Of some OF the animals
varied from SIS to $3.50 or better. 1t
\ IL recalled that the senior member Of
the Hurley firm recently paid 1880
for SOW at Kansas City. Another In
stance Of some excellent breeding
stock coming into Delaware County.
the value Of holding sale at the
County Seat has been demonstrated by
the good attendance which has been
accorded I'll the sales held there SO
far. Possibly $50 farmers were in ate
tendance at the Hurley sale. Every one
reported the best OF treatment, An ex-
cellent dinner was served by Mrs. Hur-
ley and her assistants. A good auction
eer and the hog field men permitted
the bidders to exercise their Judgment.
1t is the time in general that the far
mers begin to appreciate the produc-
ton OF pure bred stock and attend these
sales for the purpose Of paying the
breeder small sum OF his investment,
experiance and feeding. 1T is recog-
nizeds today on the open market that
the more uniform shipments Of live
stock the. higher the price. considering
OF course, their condition and us,ity.
That is the reason that a good many
feeders today have practically pure
bred herds OF cattle and hogs. That
they realize a top market whenever
their animals are in proper conditions.
This is lesson for the average farm
er because the time Is at hand when
good breeding counts. The. packer is the
Judge Of the percentage at which ami
mails will dress out and he pays acOrd-
ingly. The killing test has demonstrat-
ed time and again that pure bred anil
mails showing uniformity and good con-
dition have the highest dressing per-
centage.

INCOME TAX

Section 202 Of the Revenue Act OF
1918 makes. definite provisions for
taxation Of gain derived from the sale
or other disposition Of property and
st is the purpose Of this instruction to
outline briefly the method prescribed
by the Income Tax Law and the Reg
|ulations OF the Treasury Department
for ascertaining the gain derived from
the sale Of real property.
LAND OWNED BEFORE MARCH !,
1878
In order to understand thoroughly
the fundamental rule governing the
computation OF profit derived from
sales of land, 1t is necessary to bear
In mind always the fact that the first
i come Tax Law (Act Of March I, 191Sl
became effectiye for the taxation Of in
come % Of March I, 1913, and that.
therefore, in the case OF land acquired
by the taxpayer before that date and
sold during 1919, only so much OF the
sale price as represents increase In
,-aiue since March l. 1913. constitutes
taxable income for the year of sale.
Therefore, where land was acquired by
the taxpayer before March /, 1918. he
is required by the Income Tax Law to
ascertain Its value as Of that date for
the purpose Of determining his taxable
profit To the amount determined as
rejecting the value Of the land as OF
March 1, 1918. may be added the cost
OF permanent improvements or better
ments placed on the land since that
date. From the cost Of such improve
ments must be deducted reasonable
