He recently purchased a milking machine. I ' became interested immediatey to Una out something of this dairyman, who in a non-dair- y section, had the courage, and according to the opinion of some of his neighbors, the audacity to purchase such a modern piece of equipment as a milking machine. I enquired the way to Mr. Webb's farm, and was directed to a place about 6 miles from the town of Nephi, ATTORNEY RENDERS northwesterly. As I approached the barns I noticed the cows just leaving for the pasture. The morning chores were just being finished, and the seventeen cows had just been relieved of their generous quantity of foamy milk. The cows were well bred, and Indicated that judgent and intelligent selection had been exercised In their breeding Upon reaching the house I introduced myself to the young man who said' his name was Webb in answer to my query, and I commented upon the fact that he had a good herd of cows. "Yes" he said, "but there is lots of work to them, and the returns are not very encouraging. But there may be better times coming." Preparations were just on for the separating. I soon learned that I was speaking to the son of Mr. Lorenzo Webb. Hosmer is apparently a young man with a great deal of ambition, and is very much interested in dairy lng, especially if more satisfactory, re turns for the labor and Investment can be realized. I was soon introduced to Mr. Webb, senior, who was in the milk house tending to the separating. Since the farm is too far away from the elec trie lines for them to utilize that form of power, they use gasoline. I noticed that they used it freely also. They have several gasoline engines on the place, and their power is utilized to turn the separator, the churn and other implements. They separate their cream, sell It In town, and feed the skim milk to the calves and hogs. When asked concerning the amount of milk which the various cows were The Poultry men of Nephi met Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming en association in order to adopt more uniform methods of han dling their business.

Wrteht" a COURSE ABOARD" WELL RECEIVED N - YCEDM - . 1896, page 359, authorized the Board of County Commissioners to levy a tax of not to exceed three mills on the dollar of .valuation for county r school nurDoses. ' nr I nnnir I xxx fT inn NnTinn laws of Utah, 1896, page 489, requires the County Superintendent of Schools to apportion the County Sch- -' bol Funds'to the several school dist-rlcof the county, over six and under eighteen years of age, as appears from the last enumeration reported to his office. The County School Tax was continued down to 1915, when the Legislature repealed Section 1865 of the Compiled Laws of Utah, 1907, providing for an assessment of County School Taxes, and since that time no such tax has been levied. But all redemptions of tax sales prior to 1915, carry a county school tax, and this tax together with taxes on Transitory Herds and receipts from Forest Reserves make up what is known as the County School Fund. When the new system of schools came about and two first class School Districts were organized in Juab County, the office of County School Superintendent was discontinued, and, as now provided by section 4649 of the Compiled Laws of Ji. 1917. The County Auditor l apportionment of County ts of the Compiled as amended by the Laws of Utah, amended by Chapter the Laws of Utah, 1921, It Tided that all taxes collected by assessor or by the County Treasurer of any county where transient live stock are assessed, after deducting therefrom the cost of assessing and collecting the same, which shall not exceed five per cent of the paid or collected, shall be remitted by the county to the State si 1T, Treasurer. In making such remittances, the county treasurer is required to make a statement In duplicate, one to the State treasurer and the other to the State Board of Education, giving the names of persons paying such tax, together with the kind and number of livestock and the valuation thereof on which taxes were paid, and a statement of the several kinds of taxes Included In the collection. The State Board of Equalization prorates the county, county-schoand district school taxes so remitted the county treanurers to the state treasurer, and then makes an order authorizing the state treasurer to disburse the moneys so received to each county entitled thereto, such portion of such taxes as the time during which such livestock ranged, or were fed.
