Catarrh of the throat is not only an
annoying disease of itself, but it ex
poses the victim to many other dis
eases. We are constantly breathing
into our throats numerous atmos
pheric germs. Disease germs of all
sorts. This cannot be avoided. If
the throat is healthy the system is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But if the throat is raw and
.punctured with numerous little ul
cers, by catarrh, then the disease
«erms have easy access to the system.
Keep the throat well and clean.
This is the way to protect yourself
against contagious diseases. Gargle

question arising in the minds of most
people is what constitutes a net in
come. For a man receiving a regular
salary, or a good system of bookkeep
ing, it is easy to determine whether or
not his income is taxable. But for the
farmer who receives no stated income,
and who often fails to keep accurate
account of receipts and expenditures,
it is more difficult to calculate his net
income.

interest of most farmers in this subject
is purely academic, the Department

indicating that some wish to to know

In general, an income consists of
amounts derived from salaries, wages
or compensation for personal service,
paid in any form also from profes
sions, business, sales or dealings in
property, or from rents, interest on
bonds or mortgages, dividends on
stocks, or other income from invest
ments. These items constitute gross
the business interest paid on indebted
ness worthless debts charged off
losses by fire, storm or shipwreck, not
wear and tear of property and any
income upon which the income tax
has already paid the tax on its earn
ings.
The provisions regarding net in
comes of $3,000 apply only to unmar
ried persons, or to married persons
not living with wife or 'husband.
A husband and wife living together
entitled to an exemption oi
$4,000 on their aggregate income.
This means that in case the wife has
a separate income, if this addeJ to the
husband's income amounts to $4,000
the total ia subject to the tax or, if,
the wife has no separate income, the
husband's income is taxable only in
must be made if the aggregate in
come of both is $2,500 for the year
1913. The joint exemption, however,
would be. $3,333.33.
In arriving at this net income the
farmer should start with his gross in
come. This would consist of any
items of the kind above enumerated
and especially all receipts from the
sale of products of every prescription
from the farm. This would include
all money received for produce and
animals sold, and for the wool and
hides of animals slaughtered, if the
wool and hides are sold but he may
deduct from these items the amounts
actually paid as purchase money for
the animals sold or slaughtered during
the year. When the animals raised
by the owner are sold or slaughtered,
however, their value should not be
deducted.
From the gross income there should
be deducted amounts of money actual
ly paid as expenses for operating the
farm and producing the farm products,
live stock, etc. This would include
hired farm labor, farm supplies pur
chased that are necessary to carry on
the business and not an investment
that represents principal, etc. Expen
ses for repairs on farm property may
be deducted, provided the amount de
ducted, does not exceed the amount
spent for such repairs during the year
for which the return is made. The
cost of replacing tools or machinery
may also be deducted to the extent
that the cost of the new articles does
not exceed the value of the old. No
deduction may be made for the cost
of additional farm machinery, but
credit may be allowed for the annual
depreciation in the value of such ma
chinery. For example, if a machine
cost $100 and is regarded as good for
ten years of service, the annual depre
ciation would be 10 per cent and a
deduction of $10 each year could be
made on this account, as part of the
expense of operating the farm.
The expense of supporting the fam
ily, however, can not be deducted from
the gross income. Among items for
which credit is not allowed are ex
pense for medical attendance, life in
surance on dwelling, store accounts,
faimly supplies, wages of domestic
servants, and cost of board, room or
house rent for family or personal use.
In case an individual owns his resi
dence he cannot deduct the estimated
value of his rent. But a tenant operat.
ing a rented farm as proprietor may
deduct the rent of the farm as a part
of the expense of his business.
Farmers are not required to include
their income the produce taken from
the farm and consumed by the family.
Only produce sold off the farm is to
be included. A farmer is not entitled
'o a deduction for his own labor, or
for expense of feeding live stock. He
may, however, deduct such items as
cost
of fertilizer and other, supplies

MATING FOWLS.
It is Time to Select Fowls for Rear,
ing Next Season's Chicks.
It is now time to give the subject of
mating serious consideration. The
kept-over hens will soon begin to lay.
Having rested all the fall and winter,
they are in prime health and full of
vigor, just the birds to breed from,
much preferrable to those that have
been steadily filling the egg babsket
since last October or November. These
hens and pullets have done their task
well, and we can rarely expect double
duty from any animal any more than
double time from the help we employ.
Select the strongest, healthiest, and
most active hens in your flock, as they
will produce vigorous, rapidly growing
chicks that make the best layers and
the most profitable roosters. It is us
usually well to look for specimens just
about the average or standard weight
or size. Select and guard against de
terioration in this respect.
Strong, sturdy birds are the kind
Bessesen For
Leiut. Governor
Harvey, N. D., March 1 I.—H. J.
Bessesen, former state senator, has an
nounced his candidacy for lieutenant
governor. This is a popular movement
here. It is generally understood that
Mr. Bessesen became a candidate larg.
ely at the solicitation of U. L. Burdirk,
the insurgent candidate for governor.
The two are strong personal friends,
inJ Burdick is repoted to be perstui'l
ly opposed to A. T. Kraabel, the pres
ort lieutenant governor. Both Besse
sen and Kraabebl are Scand naviang.
The friends of the present lieuenant
governor are not inclined take kind
ly he local man's candidacy. They
admit Bessesen is a better speaker and
a campaigner but they insist the alle
gation that Kraabel is hopelessly out
of the race because of his antagonism
to the initiative and the referendum is
incorrect. They claim that Kraabel
was not so much opposed to the initia
tive and referendum as he was solici
tous for the prohibition law and didn't
want to jeopardize it. It is reported
that Minot is to furnish another can
didate for lieutenant governor on the
republican ticket making a lively
three-cornered race.
Southern Billings
For Division
New England—Seventy-five people
who read the call for a county division
meeting to be held at Desart were on
hand at Metropolitan hall last Satur
day afternoon to stsrt the division
campaign. The first hour was spent
in visiting and getling acquainted with
neighbors nnd having a good social
time.
It seems tHat every man at the
meeting was in favor of county divi
sion according to the old plan of Slope
county Th» line for division would
be the north line of township 136, ex
cept townships 136-104 and 136-105,
now a part of Golden Valley. This is
the old proposed Slope county with
the above two townships out.
Among ihe speakers who urged
that all should work for division this
ye«»r were: D. M. Hart of Shoolsmade,
T. M. Agnew of Amidon, B. S. Covell
of Rainy Butte and L. E. DeSart of
Butte. A vote was taken and "it was
found that every man present favored
the proposition o'f dividing Billings
county and would work first, last and
all the time to bring about division this
year.
the farmer wants, and the kind he
must have to pay him a good profit,
and that kind he may and will have,
if he will select the right kind of
breeding specimens. Select birds
rather long of body, broad, with legs
set well apart, but at the same time
not included to be too deep behind
compared with the 'forequarters, as
such hens are inclined to convert their
food into meat rather than eggs. Se
lect the active, energetic kind, the one
that gets up early and retires late,
the one that has bright eyes and red
face and wattles.
It is better when hatching from
high producers to select eggs from
those in their second year after they
have rested and recovered from the
great effort of their first year. Such
a method offers these advantages: (I)
the record of the hen is a known
quantity (2) the first eggs laid after
the resting period which are popular
ly supposed to be the strongest in
generative power, may be selected
and (3) high-producing hens in their
second year often begin to lay just
before the most favorable season for
hatching.—A. C. Smith, Poultryman,
University Farm, St. Paul.
SOWING CLOVER SEED.
Clover should invariably be sown
in the spring and, under normal con
ditions, comparatively early.
Broadcasting the seed and following
with a harrow has been frequently ad.
vised, and is successful in Minnesota
during wet seasons and on light soils.
Clover should not be sown too deep
ly, and yet it is desirable to sow it
sufficiently deep that it will neither
blow out nor dry out easily. Under
most conditions, either using the grass
seed accachment to the drill or mixing
the seed with the grain is to be recom
mended. Excellent stands of grass
have been obtained by mixing the red
clover with the grain and sowing the
balance of the grass-seed -mixtures
broadcast. If grass seed is mixed with
the grain and sown with a drijl, the
drill should not be run more than from
one to two inches deep.
The amount of seed per acre will
vary slightly with the method of seed
ing and the purity and germinating
power too little, rather than too much,
seed is sown. If clover is sown sep
arately, it should be at the rate of
from eight to ten pounds of red or
mammoth, from four to six of alaike,
and from three to four of white clover.
