Dayton avenue, which had been taxed
1928 for the removal of snow and ice,
which he had allowed to accumulate
and remain tWentyfour hours or longer.
The tax was allowed to become delin-
quent and lien upon the property. and
Mr.. McCardy inaugurated proceedings
to test the legality of the taxation. The
case never came to a definite ternina-r
ton or fixed order from the court, and
is still pending. Mrs. j. j. McCardy
has presented deed which she desires
torecord. As the law provides that all
deeds before they can be accepted for
record must be stamped by the county
treasurer and county auditor, to the
effect that no unpaid taxes are
charged against the property which
the deed conveys, she submitted
the same to the treasurer. and offered

tractive.

At the last meeting of the board of
fire commissioners it was decided to
grant Second Assistant Chief Kelliher,
who is under suspension by Chief Black.
hearing before the board. Last even
ing was set for the investigation, and
Mr.. Kelliher appeared at the Central fire
hall accompanied by his attorneys, ID. w.
Lawler and j. j. McCaffety, where the
board of commissioners and City At
t0rney Murray had previously gathered.
The meeting was called to order by
President Warner, who stated that Mr..
Murray would represent the board in
the hearing. The city attorney took the
floor and requested that the matter be
laid over for few days, stating that the
board had considered the matter during
the afternoon and deemed it
advisable that the hearing should
be postponed. Attorney Lawler
stated that representing Mr.. Kelliher
he would not oppose the proposition to
defer the hearing. He also presented
all answer to the charges of Chief
Black, in which it was denied that Mr..
Kelliher had used the language stated
in the chiefs complaint, or that his con-
duct towards his superior officer had
been otherwise than that of a gentle
man. On motion of Commissioner
Freeman the investigation was post
poned until March l. The board then
adjourned.
Shortly after the adjournment all re-
porters and spectators were requested
to withdraw, and the board of commits
sioners, Chief Black and City Attorney
Murray entered into executive session.
The meeting lasted nearly an hour.
Chief Black was seen afterwards, but
would divuIge none of the proceedings.
President Warner stated that the
meeting was held for the purpose of
talking over the Kelliher matter, but
would say nothing further about it.

TILLAGE.
The principal objects in cultivation are
to kill the weeds and to keep the soil in
proper tilth as to it's surfacek The prepa-
ration of the soil for the ratification of
the roots must necessarily precede plant
ing. The extension Of roots Is not by
forcing their way through the soil. The
roots enter between the particles of soil,
however fine. Then, as the roots thick
en- there is side pressure. and this in
creases with the growth of the roots
Soil, to promote growth, must be firm
enough to preserve capillarity. One OBJ
ject in cultivation is to keep the surface
loose and friable. Thus the sun pene-
trates more easily, the rain and dew also
are better held, and in times of drought
the moisture of the sub-soil rising con-
stantly is arrested as the point Of surface
cultivation is reached, and SO the roots
are enabled to conserve moisture that
would otherwise be lost. The science of
cultivation, therefore, is to keep the sur
face mellow above the point where the
roots ramify, and roots will always be
found extending up to this point. Two
to three inches in depth is sufficient
therefore for the summer cultivation,
though when the crop is young and the
root growth correspondingly small, cul-
tivation may extend to four inches.
How quickly the roots fill the soil is
shown in the cut of growing corn, as de-
termined by Professor Hayes on the.
grounds Of the Iowa Agricultural col
lege This shows on one side how deep
running shovels cut the roots On the
other side are shallow running shovels
which not only stir every portion of the
soil, but also at the same time root out
the weeds.
By shallow cultivation is meant as lit
tie interference with the roots as practica-
BILE while preserving mellow surface.
The surface of corn field may thus be
kept mellow whether the season be wet
or drV.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-07-03
Shallow Culture for Corn.

Some ten years ago the editor of The
Rural New Yorker began the advocacy
of level, shallow culture for corn; drill
ing in the seed instead Of planting In
hills; cultivating both ways, and surface
manuring or fertilizing He raised at
the rate of 142 bushels Of shelled corn
to the acre in that way. and has advocat-
ed the method ever since.
Others had practiced one or more of
the features of this method previous to
Mr.. Carman's big yield, and now there
are many advocates for his method en-
tire. The Prairie Farmer recently at
tested to the preponderance of the testi-
mony at the winters meetings of the
Illinois Farmers Institutes and clubs in
favor of shallow cultivation for corn,
and gives the following explanation why:
This rank growing plant quickly fills the
soil with mass of roots. If the roots
are continually broken, the inevitable
result is that the plant is seriously weak
ened in the effort to replace these mouths
of the plant. 1t is undoubtedly true, as
a rule, that level cultivation is better
than hilling.

the animal healthy. This will increase
the flow of milk and improve the quail
itv. 1t is believed that salt will do this
directly, and that it's use will improve
the churning quality of the milk. But
salt should be given regularly. If not
there will be suffering-at one time from
lack of it, and at another time from ex-
cess of it. Provide rock salt, and have a
place for it where the cows can always
go to it. Put trough in the yard, or a
box in the side of building with a
roof, or box under the cattle shed.

A Convenient Field Marker,

A convenient little device to mark not
only the rows, but also the exact places
for each plant in the row, is herewith il
Illustrated. This illustration is repro
duced from "Rawson's Market Garden
ers' Manual"
The pins which serve to mark the
places for plants in the row are put in
with a nut, and may be changed to mark
intervals of ten, twelve, twenty and
twenty four inches, if the wheel is made
plump thirty eight inches in diameter.
A field can be marked with this imple.

The Preservation of Meats.

The Journal d Agriculture is author
ity for the statement that it is customary
in Upper Saone (France), both on farms
and in villages, to preserve meat in sum-
mer by placing it in large earthen pans
or pots filled with curdled milk, or even
with SKINNED milk. which soon curdles,
and storing the vessel in the cellar. In
order to keep the meat beneath the
surface of the milk, it is loaded with
clean stones. Meat is preserved in this
way for over a week, without the least
change in it's flavor. When it is needed
for use, it is simply washed and dried.
The milk is fed to swine.

Salt for Cows.

If cows were forced to eat salt by it

them harm, but it is extremely doubtful
if cows will eat too much salt if they are
allowed free access to it and free choice

In a recent report from the statistician
of the department of agriculture is given
the result of the investigation, through
agents and correspondents, of the aver
age weight of wheat, by states The
average weight OF six wheat crops, those
of 1883-1888, is set down at 577 pounds
per bushel. The present average is still
lower-56.5. The estimates for the spring
wheat region are all very low, from 53.7
pounds in Dakota to 55 in Nebraska.
