The following is sent out by the Single Tax Association with request for publication : For many years there has been a growing feeling among students of public affairs, that the essential' difference between the value of land which is due to the presence of the community, and the value, of houses and other labor products, should bo recognized in our system of tax- ation. Land value increases in direct rain with population. A town of 5,000 inhabitants will have land value five times as great as a village of 1,000, and a city of 100,000 will have more than twenty times the land value gf a town of 5,000. This land value is in- creased also by public irnprovements such as water -works, schools, police protection, good roads, and in, fact everything that makes a location a more desirable place in which to live. On the other hand, the value of houses and goods is not increased by good roads and public improvements. It is not just, therefore, that the only class of property which derives a pecuniary benefit .from tax expenditure, should contribute a larger proportion to the tax fund than the other values which are notincreased by the conveniences which such expenditure provides. Should not the community value be applied to community purposes ? In order to give effect to this very -.4„, desirable reform in assisting for taxation it has been proposed that municipalities be given the power to reduce the rate of taxation upon.im- provements and increase them upon Iand values. The cities of Ottawa and Toronto have both petitioned the local legislation for this power, and we see no reason why it should not be grant- ed to them, and not to them only but every other municipality in the Province. Below we print a petition to the Legislature asking that municipalities be given this light. PETITION. To the Honorable the Premier and the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario. The petition of the undersigned municipal voters of the Province of Ontrrio sheweth that : Whereas buildings, and other im- provements are 4the products of in- dividual industry, and are ack- nowledged by all to be beneficial to the .community, and taxing them die- courages their production and is thus detrimental to the interests of the community. And whereas land value is not the result of individual effort, but is caus- ed by the presence of the community, as a whole, and taxing this value dis- coura'ges holding land out of use for speculation, and encourages putting it to productive uses, thus conducing to the prosperity of the community. Therefore your petitioners pray that your Honorable body will amend the Assessment Act so that municipalities may tax improvement values at a lower rate than land values ; business assessments, incomes and salaries to be classed with improvement values, and the difference in the rates to be determined by the municipality.

Brown, of Glencross, had a fine team of horses, valued at $150, killed by lightning during the storm Saturday night, Aug. 28. Mr. Brown had turned the team out to pasture after the day's work. They were found lying close together near a fence. Jas. Trimble of Amaranth, had two milch cows struck during the same storm. Both animals were killed. /4 !rade Mark Registered i,\ "�,-e;. _ Made n anada Stands Extremes of Heat and Cold Iii n TtOrn is used on houses and barns at pointa x,cloo miles north of Edmonton, Alberta ---and the extreme told has no effect on it.

Sole agent He Got "Hard Stuff.” A commercial traveller on his way to Toronto from Owen Sound tells a good story of a man up in that "dry" town, who got a circular stating that for $2 a certain wholesale fl in in a distant locality would send him a keg of hard stuff. Ile sent the bank note .and smacked his lips in anticipation. In duo time the keg came; but instead of being filled with old rye, malt or corn -juice, it was filled with scrap iron' and was accompanied by a letter stat - hag that if that wasn't had enough they send hien a keg of spikes at the usual rates. It was fun to see that Owen Sounder going around trying to. kick himself for being sold at his own price, THE CLEAN Wk.

BBA US f3BFORB YOU BUY W. J. BOYGE Sole AgBnt Wiugham SELECTING SHEEP, Th. Value and indications of a 8tronii Constitution, - DY HOWARD A. CHANDI.nR. There b one very important thing which. is oftomes never thought of or taken into consideration by the sheep breeder or buyer -that is, constitution.. Weak sheep. .cannot produ a good, strong lambs; neither car; they give good returns in the feed lot. The healthy,, strong eonstitutional sheep bus a much different appearance and general makeup than the weak one, In tho examination of a sheep I al- ways start at the end of the nose and work back, The indications of strong tionstitutions are a wide, open nostril, a short, broad head, width and depth. of chest, fullness behind the shoulder both on top and at the side and well sprung ribs coming wide out from the backbone. Such a sheep has room for the vital organs to perform their work in n proper manner. Neither the breed- er nor the feeder can afford to lose sight of the constitution in his sheep, because his profits will certainly be cut short. To have the wool dense and of good length is a prime requisite. Although the breeders In the corn belt must pay close attentioit to the mutton qualities in their Socks, a good fleece can also be added. The Merino need not be in, troduced for this purpose. By careful selection rams of the English mutton breeds can be obtained which have extremely heavy fleeces that are very dense. There is a great variation in fleeces, and when making selection of your flock header it is well not to be too easily satisfied. The fleece should be of good length and the fiber dense. Densityomeans the number of fibers to the square inch. Of course they cannot be counted, but you can easily ascertain the density by the band with lingers close together. Take a hand- ful of wool on the side of the different sheep and you will find that there is tar more wool In your hand on some sheep than on others. Notice carefully the wool covering the belly. We must guard against bareness there for several reasons. Proper wool will increase the .weight of fleece and also serve as protection from cold when the sheep is lying on wet ground. A. good. heavy fleece can be produced ` on mutton sheep of the highest type, and we must still strive to have that sort. Not only does it Increase your profits at home, but it Increases the price of the lambs you send to market. In our large market centers sheep pelts are considered quite an item, and the lambs with heavy, dense fleeces will outsell the others. Value of a Good Bull. Did you use a scrub bull last year, and are you saving his heifer calves from your best cows? What assur- ance have you that the calves will, be even as good as their dams? Would it not have been better to have bought a pure bred dairy bull? Yes, pure bred bulls cost money, and he might have cost $100. Is that a• large sum to pay out? Let us look into the natter. Suppose that such a bull sires for you but ten heifer calves and that each one of them, when she comes into milk, gives but one pint of milk at each milking more than her dam gave at like age, or 600 pints for the 600 miikings of the year, which is worth $6 to you. But you milk a cow an average of seven years, and the one cow turns you $42 more than her darn. Ten suck cows means $420. The prob- abilities are that the increased milk they would yield over their dams' would be worth $1,000. How, then, can any intelligent man afford to use a scrub bull? -Malcolm H, Gardner, Superintendent A. 11. 0. Value of Pure Bred Stock. Writing of pure bred sheep, a breeder says: It takes the same care to save a grade Iamb that it does a pure bred. The same•quantity of feed keeps each alike. If a grade will make you 100 per cent a year, it will- be from one- fourth to one-half of what a pure bred ewe will make you with a little more money Invested for the breeding stock. 4 $5 grade ewe will raise you a $3.50 lamb; a $20 pure bred ewe will raise you a $12.50 to $15 lamb. The roan who saves irom 00 to 95 per cent of his lambs cannot afford to breed grade sheep. ills labor is worth too much and his time is too precious, It Is as easy to raise a $25 lamb as it is a $5 lamb if your foundation stock is rislrt and you give it the proper care. ) . careless or negligent person had bet- ter breed grades, If anything at all, for he has -not so much money in- vested. Offering Cattle For' Sale. What does .a buyer want to know about cattle offered for sale? First, the conformation and color markings and weight, stele, general appearance, and in a cow, as to her udder, its size, shape, teats •and milk veins; sec- ond, the buyer wants to know the pedi- gree from one to three generations and the records or yields of each an- cestor. If it's an animal bred from cattle in the Advanced Register, state the milk and butter yield of each fe- male and of her daughters, and if she' has sons who have sired A. R. 0. daughters give the number of them. State the breeding of the sire and give Lite number of his A. 11. 0. daughters, and mention the largest records of two or three of the larger ones; state the history of his sire and grandslre and the collateral branches of the family.
