ture at its 1889 session for two

anything we have had before. A
much larger group Of them is made
tax free than ever before. This
is the new law:
Trailers of not more than
two-wheels, with gross weight
of load and vehicle not exceed

pleasure vehicles not employed
in the transportation of pas
sengers or property for hire,
shall not be taxed as motor

this Act except that all trailers

these better farmers. They recog-
nized that pasture is a very cheap
feed because livestock does the har-
vesting. Also that good pasture
program means an ample pasture
all through the pasture season. A
few acres of sudan grass are plant
ed by many of these farmers for
the hot summer months. Some will
pasture alfalfa during part Of the
season. Carrying a considerable
amount of hay from years of good
crops into short crop years is often
practiced. On many farms bigger
and better hay stacks must be built
to keep away from excess damage
as a result of the weather. Lit
erature and plans on ways Of do
ing better outdoor stacking are
available through the agents office.
