Merchant' stocks are small and they have little money in the bank. Industries which ordinarily pay a large part of the taxes of a communi- ty have closed down.

Big Stock of Men's perous merchants with stocks of goods ous und wealthy towns, the greater part of the burden of taxation for the county falls on the farmer, The value of the far- mer's property does not fall in proportion to the value of the property in the town and the higher tax levy that results from the lower property values in the towns makes his taxes higher. The farmer forgets at times that be is vitally interested in the prosperity of "his town." He thinks that it ia up to the town to take care of jteelf and that( it is up to him to take cafe of himself and be over- looks that fact that the prosperity of thé town means as much to him as it does to those who live in it, The farmer who igp inclined to overlook this fact has only to think of the matter of taxes and be is likely to change his point of view for taxes are one thing whith neither he nor any- one else can eecape, and the in which the farmer ordinarily takes very' lively interest, | How Farmer Can Help There in just one way in which the far- mer can best promote prosperity in the town near which he lives and that is by spending his money in that town instead of sending it away to the far-distant city. Every time the farmer sends an order to a mail order house he helps destroy the prosperity of his own community, und to boost his own taxes, When he sends o dol- lar away from home he gets none of. it back. When he spends a dollar at home, a part of that dollar comes back to him in come way. It helps the town where it is apent to provide a profitable market for his products and it helps the town pay a large part of his taxes, The farmer is the one man in the com- munity, above all others, who should have no love forsthe mail order houses for they are doing more to add to his troubles than any other one agency.

To. Kill Sprouts on Stumps The Australian Forestry Journal is au- thority for the following method of killing sprouts which persist in growing from stumps after the removal of trees. The method, it is claimed, is effective: "Procure 1 pound of arsenic, 1 pound of washing soda or one-bulf pound of caustic soda, one half-pound of whiting, and four gallons of water. Dissolve the soda (either form) in a convenient amount of water, using heat, if desirable, to assist and has- ten it; then'slowly add the arsenic, pre- viously made into a thin paste, stirring all the time; place on a strong fire, and after it has come to a boil, allow it to re- main boiling for st least balf an hour; stir from time to time, and be careful to stand away from the fumes, which are poisonous and spt to cause sickness. It is advisable to do this boiling out-of-doors, When the arsenic is thoroughly dissolved, the solution may*be made up to the requir- ed bulk by adding the remainder of the water either hot or cold, The whiting is added merely to serve as an indicator of the trees treated, as it turns white on drying." 'Although the sprouts can be killed at any season of the year with the poison,~the best results are obtained by using yit i the winter months. | Farmers' Sun on Col. Currie 'money.
