Here is a reduction of the prop

citizens of 7 cents on each $100 of
value of their property, effected by
the Democrats.
Again, in 1882, the total revenue
collected by the State FOR All
PURPOSES, including schools, in
terest on public debt, etc,, was $773,
978.60. Of this amount, the "prop

as well as the town citizen paid on
the value of all his property, was
$472,738.34, or SIXTY-ONE PER
CENT OF THE WHOLE.
In 1901 the total revenues col

and for all purposes amounted to
$1,602,676.48, of which "property

amounted to $776,945,30 or FORT?

with wheat and oats, and a little

larly and heavily fed will not be so
active or inclined to roam like those
lightly fed, and will be more likely
to corns for their feed.
MARKETIXO THE TCBKEYS.
About three weeks is required for
properly fattening, so if one begins
in late October, he should have his
turkeys ready for Thanksglring
market, as prices for choice turkeys
are highest at that time. Medium
sized turkeys are most in demand,
large sizes being desired by few.
The late batched turkeys, those too
small for Thanksgiving trade, can

birds by the next and all important
