Tax Figures in North Dakota Farmers Show Good Savings Under Nonpartisan League Administration ] DITOR Nonpartisan Lead- #| er: Perhaps some farm- ers in other states would be interested in knowing my experiences with tax- ation and hail insurance in North Dakota. In 1918 I paid $305 taxes on my 640-acre farm in Williams county. My 1919 taxes were $354.38. In addition I paid $181.60 for state hail insurance, at the rate of 4 per cent on all crops, a total of $5635.98 for taxes and hail insurance. Private hail insurance rates were 12 per cent on rye and 10 per cent on other crops. If my tax rate had been unchanged and I had insured my crop with the private insurance companies my taxes and hail insurance together would have been $834.38. Under the new laws I saved $298.40 from the previous year. I suffered practically a total loss from hail insurance and received a warrant for $4,158 to pay for the loss. With private rates what they were this year I might have been unable to take out hail insurance. So one way to figure it is that I am over $4,000 ahead. i : My neighbor, Bennie Olson, in South Meadow township, paid $61.60 in taxes and hail insurance together. His insurance rates, under the private companies, would have been $72.80. So he saved $11.20 on his hail insurance and got his taxes free, besides. KRISTIAN HOLL., Wildrose, N. D. Cattle Remedies for Common Diseases When Cause of Trouble Is Known Well Tried Formulas Are Available BY CHARLES OLIVE ATTLE often get sick, and we know what the trouble is, but do not know of any remedies that will bring relief. Here are a few recipes which will be of help in such cases. The formulas can be put up at any good drug store. For diarrhoea we have found the following remedy very effective: Licorice root powder, 3 ounces; Nut- galls powder, 3 ounces. This is suf- ficient for four doses. Mix each one in a pint of warm water and give the sick animal a dose every second hour until relieved. H M will cover 1.

Colic is a common ailment which is easily recognized. The animal suffer- ing from it is constipated, shows great thirst, treads up and down with its feet, and frequently lies down, groan- ing. The following treatment, as we know by experience, brings quick re- lief in most cases: Linseed oil, 8 ounces; sodium chloride, 4 ounces; green soap, 4 ounces. Give a good in- jection of the mixture hourly until the bowels move. A little salt in a pail of lukewarm water to drink is also good for colie. Many times we have cured cows of fever with the following simple rem- edy: Sodium sulphate, 16 ounces; potassium nitrate, 1% ounces. The quantity given is enough to make four doses. Put each dose in a quart of lukewarm bran water and give to the animal at night. Repeat the dose the next evening if there is no improve- ment. Sometimes cattle, though not ailing in any way, will eat less than is de- sirable. In such cases the following treatment will produce good results: Magnesium sulphate, 30 ounces; Gen- tian powder, 3 ounces. This quantity Give each dose in three pints ef warm water, preferably before the noon meal. WAR TRUCKS DISTRIBUTED Approximately 24,000 motor vehi- cles have been turned over to the de- partment of agriculture by the war department to date. Of this total 12,- 000 have already been delivered to states, the allotment being based on the amount of federal aid for road building to which the state is entitled. This distribution is following the law passed by congress directing that the motor vehicles not longereneeded for war purposes be turned over to state highway commissions for use in road building. The Kahn bill directing the secre- tary of war to release tractors, steam shovels, locomotive cranes, automobile cranes, industrial railway track, dump cars, etc., in similar fashion has al- ready passed the senate and is re- ported out of committee for vote in the house. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP On the municipally owned street railway of Glasgow, Scotland, strap- hanging is forbidden, except on wet giays, when not more than six stand- Ing passengers may be accommodated.
