ABOUT DOG TAXES.

The first of March having arrived, a few words relating to dog taxation may he of interest to those who are not posted thereon. The law save that the township assesor shall make diligent inquiry as to the number of dogs owned, hnrbured or kept by the person assessed, and such person as assessed shall pay immediately to said assessor the sum of one dollar for each male or spayed female dog and the sum of two dollars for each additional male or spayed female dog; and the sum of three dollars for each female dog (unspayed) so owned, harbored or kept. Any person who shall keep or harbor any dog, and shall not have paid the township assessor the tax as above specified and receive- his receipt for each payment, shall, upon complaint of any resident of the connty, be subject to a fine of not less than five dollars or more than twenty dollars. Harboring nntaxed dog: It shall be a misdmeanor for any person who does not hold the township

assessor’s receipt, showing that the required tax had been paid for the same, as provided by law, to keep harbor, board or feed, or permit any dog to stay about his, her or their premises, and upon complaint they Bhall be liable to a tine in any sum not exceeding ten dollars. It shall be the duty of the township assessor to keep a record of all dogs that have not been paid for, I y whom owned, harbored or kept, and he shall report the same to the township trustee, whose duty it slialt be to report the same to the prosecuting attorney, who shall bring action against such persons and upon conviction, he shall receive five dollars for each case so prosecuted, and such fee shall be charged as part of the judgement and cost against such so prosecuted, %*

WHY MANY BILLS MUST DIE.

Obviously Too Many Are Pending for One Week’s Work. ludiuiiapolis News. That scores of bills will die in sight of the promised land at the close of the session of the legislature is indicated by the fact that in the House when this week opened there were 1135 House bills ready for action and 121 Senate bills. It is very doubtful if one-half of these bills can be passed by the House before the Legislature adjourns. The figures are furnished by Gr. O. Driscoll, reading clerk. Up to the opening of this week 191 House bills had been indefinitely postponed, 105 House bills had been passed, thirty-four Senate bills had been passed and fifteen Senate bills had been indefinitely postponed. A look at these figures will show why some of the Senators are nervous about their bills now pending in the house. Up to the beginning of this week 431 House bills had been introduced and 170 Senate bills had been received from the Senate. The record of the Senate shows that 175 Senate bills have passed and fifty House bills, as compared with 105 House bills passed in the House and thirty-four Senate bills. This indicates the greater expedition of work on the part of the Senate, due partly to the fact that the Senate is composed of one-half of the number of men. and is able, under its rules, to work faster. The Senate is well along with its work and is able to handle every matter that comes before it. After the session of the Legislature is closed and members return to their homes, many will be able to explain to their constituents that in the final rush of the session the measures which they had promised to see enacted into law were crushed out.

Thos. Follen. P. & T. A. Washing; Stockings. It Is recommended that a little vinegar be added to the water in which stockings are rinsed after being washed. The stockings should then be dried wrong side out. Colored stockings will be unfaded and black ones will retain their original luster. To Remove Labels. When It Is difficult to remove a label from a bottle soak It very thoroughly iu water, then hold It for a minute over the gas flume, and tbe steam thus generated will loosen the label so that it can be striked off without any further trouble. Care For Earache. For earache fold a thick towel around the neck nnd then with a teaspoon fill the ear with warm water, Continue this for fifteen or twenty minutes, then let the wuter run out and plug tlie ear with cotton dipped in warm glycerin. Knife Cleaning. Old, scratched knives may be made to look like new If tallow is well rubbed on tbe knifeboard—tallow candle will do —and then knife powder. Scratches nnd stains will quickly disappear. Papering a Room. It is well to rememlter when papering a small room that blue in all light shades makes a room look linger. Dane colors or papers with large patterns have the opposite effect. Stalatng Floors. Floors may be stained oak color by using copperas and lye, one pound of copperas to one gallon of lye. If brushed In well It will dry in a few hours. Mendlag Gloves. For glove mending cotton is far preferable to silk, as It does not glisten and •how so plainly. A very fine needle must be used.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

lkc«» Hutaadry. We do not believe a farmer should have only one kind of stock on his farm, but have a few of nearly every kind, so if the market is off on one kind It will be better on some other. The sheep Industry was profitable last year and will be again this year. Although the sheep ure now wearing their winter robes and ure free from ordinary cold, yet they will appreciate a good shelter from the winds and bad weather as much as any other kind of stock, and perhaps no animal will appreciate kind treatment more than a sheep. The person who cannot control a large degree of patience will not make a good sheep master. It is natural for a flock of sheep to follow their shepherd, and this they will do if not kicked about and are otherwise Improperly treated, if kicked away so they are scared when they come near you they cannot be controlled. Be kind. —Cor. Inland Farmer.

To Get a Stand ot Clover. Dr. I. A. Thayer of Lawrence county, Pa., lias given the subject of growing clover more than ordinary consideration and has so far solved it that he is reasonably sure of a good stand every year. He lays down Just four rules as fofckiws: f'irst.—Fill the soil with bumus. Second.—Remove the stagnant water. Third.—Apply lime to the soil where needed. Fourth.—Sow the seed on a good, well prepared seed bed and give it the same chance you do any other good crop. From some years’ practical experience I feel sure that this will bring us success. It is unreasonable to expect a good set of clover when we sow it into a hard, unprepared seed bed already occupied with one, two or three crops.—National Stockman.

Age to Breed Sows.

The age at which to breed young sows depends ou the maturity more than tbe age, says American Agriculturist. A gilt that has been properly handled will weigh 200 pouuds or more at eight months and ought to raise a good litter of pigs if bred then. When a young sow lias only a few pigs or is a poor milker or n careless mother, she should be sent to the meat barrel at once. Hut if she is a good milker and attentive to her young she should be tried again, for the second litter will usually be larger than the first. If her second litter shows increased numbers and the first one developed into good hogs, she might be retained for a breeder until a better sow can be obtained.

The Separator on the Farm. Among tbe advantages of separating tbe milk upon tbe farm I will mention; First, that there is no time milk will separate by the use of a machine more easily or more completely than when fresh and warm, says a Connecticut farmer in Rural New Yorker. Second, we have the skim milk fresh and warm for our calves. Third, there is so little time for germs to multiply that danger from bowel trouble is averted. We have not lost a calf from scours for several years, although all are Jerseys and claimed by some to be delicate. Fourth, our cream is sold, tested and paid for upon the basis of its butter fat. We are paid for Just what we furnish.

Keep the Yoons Stock Growing. The calves, the colts, the pigs, all from the time they were put in winter quarters until spring should suffer no cessation in their growth. The calves or yearlings nnd colts should be kept steadily vigorous and growing; not merely holding their own, but increasing in size and proportion; not necessarily the laying on of fat, but the enlargement of frame and muscle with a healthy vigor. Cement on the Farm. Cement is growing fast in favor and displacing wooden structures of all descriptions. Even on the farm cement floors for stables, pens, walks, cellars, dairy rooms, etc., ure coming to be recognized us essentials where cleanliness and tbe best sanitary conditions are desired. They are far more lasting, cleaner and therefore more desirable than the best wood. A Rolnom Method. To depend upon the use of purchased fertilizers to the neglect of such as can be produced on the farm for the production of each year’s crop is a ruinous method, which, while it may not prove immediately disastrous, is sure to impoverish succeeding generations.—American Cultivator. Diet For Fowls. Wheat, oats and corn, fed alternate ly, is a diet hard to improve on for fowls the year round, says Farm and Ranch. Corn should be fed sparingly during hot weather. A hot mash of soaked oats and wheat bran twice a week is also recommended. r«eiliag Yonngf Pigs. Pigs after weaning should have more or less milk, as it is one of the most economical as well as profitable feeds that can be supplied. Wheat bran fed to the brood sow aids materially In securing n good development of bone and muscle in the offspring. Hen on Goose Eggs. Early in spring give a hen four to six eggs, according to her size. A large Cochin hen can Incubate six or seven eggs in a warm nest. Set eggs on the ground if possible and use some straw in the nest—Cor. American Agriculturist. Tko Colt’s Foot. When tbe colt Is growing, the hoofs should be looked to occasionally to see If they do not require trimming.
