NEW BREEDS OF LIVE STOCK
Columbia Sheep Are Particularly
Adapted to Range Conditions
New Type Of Horse.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is developing types OF live
stock believed to be more useful than
some now represented by present
breeds.
Range sheep breeding conducted In
Clark county, Idaho, is resulting In
a type which has become so fixed as
to warrant its classification as breed
These sheep, known as Columbia
sheep are particularly adapted to
range conditions and are believed to
be profitable both for mutton and wool
production.
A new type of American utility
horse Is rapidly being established, In
cooperation with the state, at Buff
falO, Wyoming. Among the character
istics of the type-possibly entitled to
the term 'breed'-are activity,
strength, endurance, and reasonable
speed. The horses are believed to
meet a demand for general farm and
ranch work, delivery purposes, and
for certain classes of military serv-
Ice.
Poultry breeding at the bureau
farm, Beltsville, Nd, shows progress
in the establishment Of new breed
of fowl. Certain characteristics, such
as white plumage and yellow legs and
skin, are now well fixed, but there is
still considerable variation In the type
and in color of eggs. The birds de-
yeloped this year show improvement
over those of a year ago.

the last four years to test the effect
of feed at breeding time upon the size
of the lamb crop have shown an In.
crease Of 1873 per cent of lambs pro

crease of 25.9 per cent in the Belts

the effect of running sheep in perma.

weeds, and the carrying capacity OF
the fields, 1t has been demonstrates
that sheep are benefited in cleaning
pastures of weeds, but that 1t must
be accomplished gradually and should
not be overemphasized as a reason for
engaging In sheep raising.

J. G. Fralick, commissioner OF fl

request of newspapers to bring to the
attention of the people the fact that
there is law on the statute books by
which the public is protected from

Commissioner Fralick has tho fol

JOINT OWNERSHIP OF sIREs

tionai Ownership of Jack.

Enrolling recently In the Better
Sires-Better Stock" movement, a live
stock owner in Fillmore county. Neb.,
listed in addition to female stock, one
bull, three boars, five rams, and one
half interest in a purbred Kentucky
jack. The fractional ownership of
purebred sires is common, the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has found, among
persons desiring to improve the quail
ity of farm live stock, but who have
an insufficient number Of female an
tmals to warrant owning purebred
males in all classes. Fractional own
ership Of one purebred male Is much
more desirable than the complete
ownership of several scrub or grade
aires.

TAX RATE LOWER
THAN S2.42, CLAIM
Reductions Will Be Made by
State Tax BOard-COunty
Rate Stands.

The indianapolis Center Township
tax rate on which taxes collected next
year will be based will lower than S2.42
the present rate Thiywas learned def
nitely today while the State tax board
was considering the appeals of taxpay-
ers from the school and city rates. The
Marion County rate will remain at -
cents, as it is now fixed.
While no definite information was
forthcoming as to the amount of the cuts
to be expected in the city and school
rates, it was stated that there would be
cuts. The board, it is understood. has
not finally determined just how large
these cuts viii be, or exactly what part
OF each rate will be cut
In considering the city rate the board
4'""od the general fund rate and
the park board rate and it is possible
both of these Will be cut. The city
rate as it has been fixed is 94.2 cents
on each 500 of taxable property. as com
pared with $1G61 on each $lC0 Of taxable
property as fixed last year and payable
this year.
Cuts in various divisions that go to
make up the school rate are expected
he rate as now fixed is 90 cents a
compared with a rate of 50 cents fixed
last year. 1t is not believed probable
the school rate will be as low as last
year because of increases in teachers
salaries and the growth of the schools.
The state of affairs will result in the
State rate and the school rate Icing the
only ones that have been increased. The
state rate was increased from 20 cents to
"A cents.
The increase in rate this year will
throw a heavier burden than ever on
the small taxpayer and on the real estate
owner. In the revaluatiOa IL PERSONAL
property about 5000, 100000 was cut from
the duplicates. Nearly every cent of this
. cut is represented by reductions in the
valuations of the personal property of
utilities and various other corporations.
No change was made in the valuation
of real estate. and III very few instances
were the valuations Of the personal prop
erty of the small taxpayer cut. This
means that the burden of the high rate
will be felt by the small taxpayer. whose
property is valued as high as it was last
year, while the large taxpayer, particu-
larry corporations and utilities, win have
some relief from lower valuations

BY MONITOR.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Proit taking was
largely responsible for the reactionary
tendency that developed in the stock
market Friday after rather steady
opening. EXCEPT among a few specialitIes,
rails and industrials as well, gains were
limited to small fractions or where de-
cIines prevailed. The striking exception
in the railroad group was furnished by
Lehigh Valley, which ran up nearly 3
points on relatively heavy buying based
on rumors of improved dividend pros
poets. In the early trading the oils were
steady, but profit-taking sales made their
appearance in Mexican Petroleum, caus-
ing a setback and other members of the
petroleum group followed suit, some Of
the exceptions being Texas Company,
which closed at the top with half point
advance, while Cosden and Invincible
also were higher.
The coppels continue to display stead
mess, although the reactionary trend OF
the market in the afternoon prevented
them from making much of q showing.
General news was of somewhat con-
ficting character. The decline in the
French government IS and 71as on heavy
sales was interpreted as rejecting a less
favorable view o. these securities owing
to the reparations outlook The weekly
statement of the Consolidated Federal Re-
serve System shows another increase, al
though a moderate one, in the ratio to
the new high figure of 90. An important
item In the exhibit is the gain n the re-
serve ratio of the Dallas bank to the 1g
IRE Of 22.9 against 90 at the end of
August.
Local traction securities moved irregu-
larly as result of the publication of
the transit commissions recommendations
IN the attempts of the transit problem
OF greater New York.~An early rise, both
in the stocks and bonds, was followed
by a reaction which indicated more or
less confusion of sentiment In regard
