the most money, is usually that having
the best natural green color. Hay
dealers can often tell from the color
whether hay was cut early, medium,
or. late, and in their opinion the best
hay is the early cut hay and the
poorest that which was cut late
The average hay grower, however.

agree with the terminal market theory
of quality as indicated by color. Many
producers prefer medium or late cut
hay, especially for horses, because 1t
Is easier to cure and not as "washy"
as early cut hay.
In some markets size and weight
of bales is an important factor, since
there Is sometimes a difference of sew
eral dollars a ton in the same grade
of hay in small or large bales. The
reasons for the demand for certain
sizes and weights are numerous and
not always based on facts, it is said,
However, as in many other kinds OF
trading, it pays the seller to aim to
meet the desires of the buyer.
Undesirable Mixtures Cause Loss.
The production Of undesirable mix
lures for the market will cause a loss
to the producer as long as the market
does not want mixtures. Certain OF
these are disseminated against regard
less of their true nutritive or feed
ing value. The producer may know
positively that certain mixtures are
palatable and contain more total di-
pestible nutrients than the kinds now
in greatest demand, yet he Is power
less to make feeders realize their value.
The Introduction and general use Of
a new kind or mixture of hay Is a
very slow undertaking, as in the case
of clover and alfalfa.
About the only way to avoid trouble
with undesirable mixtures, says the
bulletin. is for the producer to cease
growing them and to produce only the
kind in demand II the markets to
which his hay is usually shipped.

FALcoRRY AM ANCIENT SPORT
Amusement, praeticed In East, Can Be
Traced to Period That Antedatcs
Era of Christianity.

Falconry, the art of training fai-
O n ard hawks to the chase. has been
traced back to a period befo;e the
Christian era. 1t was practiced in the
East and also in Europe long before its
introduction into England. The English
kings used to amuse themselves with
this sport, which was for a long time
the leading amusement. such AZ base
ball is in America today.
Falconers use two kinds of birds
the long-winged, dark-eyed falcons and
the short-winged, yellow-eyed hawks.
The former take their prey by rising
above it in the air and swooping at 1t
from a considerable height and striI-
Ing it to the ground; the latter pur-
sue in a straight line, and oyertaklng
the object of the chase by superior
speed, clutch it and bring 1t down.
The larger falcons are sent after
winged prey Of all kinds, crows mag
MES. ROCKS. lierons and wild fowl. The
smaller falcons, such as the merlin
and hobby. are flown at larks; While
of the short-winged hawks, the spar
row-hawk is flown at hlackhiras and
thrushes. partridges early in the sea-
son.. and quails, the goshawk taking
pheasants. partridses and wild fowl,
rabbits and hareS.
With all birds of prey the females
are invariably larger and more power
full than the males, and the sexes are
consequently selected according to the
game they have to pursue.

Amusing. but What About Muslciansl

at Hull, England. A spectacular fea-
ture is a great glass tank, said to hold
10000 gallons of water, in which
"bathing bellies" disport themselves. AS
the tank was being prepared for the
performance the real side burst and
water flooded the stage. The revue
artists scampered off, but many of the
musicians we're drenched. The water
found It's way to the basement beneath
the stage, and stood at such a level
that the orchestra, on ar elevated plat
form, had to play with their feet in
several inches of water when they re-
turned to their places. The consterna-

amusement when the orchestra was
overwhelmed. The bathing scene, OF
course, had to be abandoned.

Defends Puritan Architecture.

Wallace Nuttings' book on Fur
niture of the Pilgrim Century Is an
argument to disprove the fallacy that
the Puritans were insensible to beauty
and art.
Of the rugged substantial relics
of their building, MI. Nutting says,
"There is solidity in them, durability,
freedom from caprice, and an express
sion of that sober nationality every,
where characteristic of the Puritan
genius.
"For adaptation to climate, wise use
Of accessible Materials inner COM
venlence obtained at low cost and
freedom from discordant lines, Puritan
dofSstic architecture deserves nigh
praise"
This is no less true of their furni-
ture accessories. 1t is wrong to as
sumo that their austetity and sim
plicity were forced upon them by mere
hardship. Rather were they the out
ward expression of an inner nobility
and spiritual e%xaltnpion.

Laws.

Laws.
TIE session of the general assem-
bly, brought to an end yesterday al
;ternoon was at once one of the long
ssss and busiest of any meetings of
the state legislature in recent years.
The session was extended 80 days
beso.d the regular 40 day limit, both
houses being occupied with business
of Importance up to the closing
hours. The recasting of the tax pro-
,rram of the state was the chief prob
Sem facing the legislature, as the
members of the two houses saw it,
and it was to. the accomplishment of
this end that the greater portion of
the time and thought of the members
of the two houses was directed.
The. session of 1921, the 74th gen
eral assembly's first session, was con-
~spicuously barren as compared with
the session of 1922, just. ended, but it
saw the launching in the house of the
tax reform program. The session OF
1922 opened with practically the en-
tire burden of the state borne by
visible, tangible property. The ses-
sion closed yesterday with 40 per
cent of this burden shifted to other
sources as a result of the action OF
The two houses in passing five of the
seen new revenue measures given
consideration during the 60 days OF
The session. These new measures are
the domestic corporation license tax,
the foreign corporation license tax,
Tie income tax, the inheritance tax
and the gasoline tax.
Two Tax Bills Killed.
Two other tax measures, the hydro
electric tax bill and the luxury tax
bill, were killed by the senate after
passage by the lower house, while
the Sapp resolution, providing for the
amendment of the state constitution
to empower the general assembly to
fix a just and equitable system OF
raising the state revenues, was lost on
the senate calendar, being continued
along with the other bills which The
upper house was unable to reach and
pa SIS in the closing hours of the SEES
sion. The companion resolution to
this, also introduced by Representa-
tive Sapp, was lost on the house cal
.endar, the absence of so many mem
bers during the last two weeks OF ses-
sion making it practically impossible
To secure the needed constitutional
two-thirds majority in favor Of the
measure.
The estimated revenues expected to
be derived by the various new reve-
nue. measures this year are: Income
tax, $1,000, 900; gasoline tax, $780,
900 and the two corporation tax meas
ures, s125, 600. The inheritance tax
will produce but little return This
wear, but it is expected to be felt to
a considerably larger extent in the
years to follow.
The luxuries tax, killed in the SEN
ate, was expected to give an annual
return of between $4,000 and
$4,000, 900 while revenues to be de-
rived from the hydro-electric tax,
twice killed by the upper house were
~variously estimated at %$150,o0o and
$4,000 annually.

Most manufacturers appreciate

of them need to consider more
thoroughly in what good will con-

The dealer may be willing to

acknowledges freely that it is one

business, that it is backed by men
who have a solid reputation lin
their industry, and that it's rela-

But all this good will cannot
materially help the dealer sell your
goods unless the public is disposed
to buy them.
