PUTTING AWAY THE EVIDENCE
Colored Man Ready With Ingenious

a Meal of the Ham.
Tho other day a colored porter in
a certain West side store was dis
patched upon an errand which ho was
not In nympathy with, that of toting
a woll-boilcd ham down the street.
The butcher noticed, upon giving tho
colored man tho ham, that tho paper
was torn.
"Sam." he said to the porter, "bo
careful of that ham, cs the paper la
torn and you might drop It In the
street."
"Aw right, boss," answered Sam,
"I'll be purtlckurly cah'ful tot to drop
It"
Not a long while after tho butcher
found Sam In the basement of the
store, chowljg away on a small ;lece
of ham.
"What aro you dolr.g there, Sam?"

"Well, boss." answered Sam, "I

TREATING ROUP AMONG HENS
Where Fowls Aro Badly Affected Ax
Is Best Means of Procedure Iso
late Valuable Birds.
If fowls aro badly affocted with
roup tho uso of tho ax is tho best
means of procedure. Roup Is con
tagious and must bo eliminated from
tho ilock at all costs.
If soma of the fowls aro especially
valuable, they may bo Isolated from

manganate, made by adding a quarter

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
Worth Is Placed at Not Less Than $5
and Op to $8 Per Ton by Some of
Experiment Stations.
If tho average farmer roalizod tho
great value placed on poultry manuro
by somo of tho largest experimental
stations in tho United States, 'he
would bo more careful in tho gather
ing, storing and proper distribution
of samo over his land.
It is claimed that avorago poultry
manure consists as follows: Water,
GC per cent; nitrogen, 2 to 8 per cant;
phosphoric acid, 2 to 5 per cent; pot
ash, 8 to 10 per cent. This analysis
would placo tho value of every ton
of poultry manure at not less than $5
and up to $8.
PREVENTION OF FROST-BITE
Difficult Matter to Keep Long Wattles
of Mn.cs From Getting Wet
Treat With Vaseline.
Even in wcll-ventllatcd, comfortablo
houses, it Is difficult to keep tho long
wattles of tho males frpm getting wet
and freezing. A good preventive is to
keop tho comb and wattles greased
wl th vaseline.
If tho mischief Is already dono, do
not take tho bird to a warm room
until tho frost Is out. Apply cold wa
ter, or snow, handling very gontly,
and when tho parts aro of normal
Blzo, apply mutton tollaw, or comphor
ice.
Big Returns From Capons.
Tho capon Is gladdening the palato
and pockctbook of tho chicken raiser
who had foresight enough to caponlzo
instead of letting tho matter go.
Estimate Cost of Keep.
In estimating tho cost of keeping
poultry It Is best to allow ono bushel
of grain a year for each luying hou.
Dust Bath and Powder.
Keop tho hens supplied with a dust
bath, and a llttlo Insect powder mixed
with tho dust will havo Its good effect.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
ation Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.
So many rumors havo boon circu
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that tho statement mado by
Sir Thomas Whlto, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of tho Government's plans
for ralBlng war rovenuo should bo giv
en tho widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that tho rovenuo will bo
raised by taxing tho profits of Incor
porated companies whenover thoso
profits exceed seven per cent, and tho
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when tho profits exceed ton
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will havo to
contribute one-quarter to tho Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other com
panics will bo subject to this taxntlon,
but life Insurance companies, and com.
vpanles with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or Individuals engaged in agri
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part of this taxation. Tho
only other additional taxation pro
posed Is an Increaso of fifty cents a
barrel In tho customs duty on apples,
and ono-half cent a gallon In customs
duty on certain klndH of oils.
It will bo noticed that this taxation
is being applied In such a way that t
does not affect farmera in tho slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through a
small Increaso In cost of apples and
oil. Tho war revenue Is to bo paid out
or tho profits of tho big firms and com
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even theso are al
lowed soven per cent In somo cases,
ant" ten per cent In others of clear
profits beforo they havo to pay any
part of this taxation. It will bo seen
that tho whole policy is to placo tho
war oxpendlturo taxation on thoso who
havo been making big profits and aro
ablo to pay It, and to encourago farm
ing and stockraislng by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
ation. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmer's
land Is being taxed to pay the cost of
the war. Advertisement.
