"Tax Included" is a sign to bring
some measure of cheer to hard
pressed slaves of the H. c. l. TAX
included" signs are increasingly in

Establishments,
"Tax included" as a rule, means
that merchants are anxious to get
away from the impression that their
goods are Injuries. 1t is a recognition
of the public vii Ito economize. The
time has passed when goods sold most
readily because the price asked was
exorbitant.
TAX included" means even more
than this. AS a general thing in such
cases the merchant is actually paying
the tax. For the sake of increased
sales he is deducting the tax from his
customary margin of profit.

signs are indeed welcome to those
who buy, particularly to those who

Remove the Excess Moisture From
Seed Corn Now.


The Agronomy Department of the
College of Agriculture has found that
when seed corn is not properly dried
in the fall and early winter 1t will
not produce as well as seed corn that
has been given good attention. 1t is
fact that corn may terminate and
start to grow to an extent that Will
produce a good stand in the spring;
but the germ will lack the vitality to
continue the growth and produce a
good yield. Seed corn that does not
contain more than Is per cent. mois-
ture should withstand any tempera-
ture that comes in Kentucky during
the winter season. Most fthe corn
cribbed at this time of the year will
contain from Is to rs per cent. of
moisture. Since this is the case 1t
becomes very evident that it is neces-
sary to provide some means of star
age for seed corn that will reduce this
moisture content An attick with
brick chimney passing through it
with q living room stove below pro-
vides very good place for storage, as
the seed corn can be placed around
this chimney and when seed corn is
given this treatment it will, as rule,
produce higher yield per acre the
next season than corn that is left out
in tie barns.
Warm Water For Cold Weather.
It Is essential that warm drinking
water be provided for the poultry dur
ing the winter months, since water is
an absolute necessity in the produc-
ton of eggs. The Poultry Department
of the College of Agriculture says
that where chickens do not have ac-
fess to fresh warm drinking water. a
decrease in the production of eggs
will be noticed Since this is the case
and also that eggs are usually high
priced in the winter, and this year
prospects are for exceedingly high
prices, II would be well for the farm
ers to provide suitable drinking wa
ter for their hens during the winter
months. In well constructed poultry
house the water will not freeze, eX-
cept in very cold weather. In case
this good poultry house is lacking, il
is not difficult to provide the chickens
with warm, drinking water, since the
eggs should be gathered two or three
times day in the winter land the wa
ter can be taken out to the poultry
house when the eggs are gathered. BY
this means the chickens should NJ

Brood Sows Should Be Carefully
Selected.
The College Of Agriculture recon-
mends that considerable care should
be given in selecting sows for breed
ing purposes. Records show that on
the average sows will farrow and
raise more pigs in the second and
subsequent litter than they do in the
first Since this is true it is usually
mistake okill the mature SOW thai
has raised good litter unless there
is some good reason for discardine
her.
Il is well to study the individual
very carefully before deciding t
breed her, and when she has raised ;
good litter she should be further de
