The Mayor Studying Sewers.

Mayor Sanderson is devoting much of his
attention nowadays to the sewer problem. He
believes that the city'S health depends on
clean system, which can never be had with
the present WORKOUT, imperfectly con-
structed and inadequate sewers. The wisest
thing the city can do is to issue bonds and
reconstruct the entire system where needed.
Flushing is the natural method of cleansing
sewers, but it is verse than useless where
they have no outlet.

Treatment of Sick Animate ,


1t Is not always easy for farmer to deter.
mine just what treatment Is best for sick
animal. while educated Veterinarians are
sometimes in doubt what course to persue.
1t is not strange that farmers who have had
no opportunity to study the symptoms and
treatment of disease are perplexed when tbsy
find that some of their animals sick. There
Is one thing, however, that 1t is always safe
and Is often important to do. That Is to iso.
late the affected animal at once. II the disease
Is contagious 1t Is matter of great moment.
II 1t proves to be only simply malady, the
removal of the sick creature from the others
can do no harm, while IL will give better on.
portunities for care care and nursing ana will
greatly hasten recovery. II the disease is
contagious, prompt removal may prevent its
spread. Oftentimes whole flocks of sheep or
herds of cows have become diseased, when
the immediate removal of animal first to be
affected would have entirely prevented the
spread of the disease. In marked cases of
sickness competent veterinarian should be
called as soon Is possible. But the first
thing to be done, whether the case appears to
be severe or mild. Is to put the sick creature
into stable BY itself and make 1t as comfor-
table as possible American Dairymen.

Money In Poultry,

Farmers everywhere are awakening to th'
fact that raising poultry is branch of farm
Ing that pays, but has been neglected. Othel
ORANGES are payin: SO poorly that they see thu
necessity CT doing something to increase theil
revenue. They will find poultry and eggs 8
branch that always brings ready money. The
population Of our country is increasing al
such rapid rate that the demand for egg,
alone cannot be supplied by home production
and millions have to be brought from foreign
countries. Consequently there will always
be demand for xll we can produce, and
those who have neglected their hens should
give the matter some thought and turn their
attention to increasing their flock and paying
attention to them In future.-[ Field and

been hewn off, have remaihed sound in q

Sassafrss timber lie considered as the nexl
durable to locust. and red cedar about the
same. All timber is improved NJ durability
by seasoning, and is better stu II ssfarated
with hot stacking lime. Posts are. HIhed in
this manner: A pit three feet Is dug and six
inches of fresh lime is spread In the bottom;
the. posts are set on end close together and
some lime is filed In between them for one
fOet. Water is then poured into oil the pit.
This slakes the lime which sveiIss and fills
the space between the posts.A The heat en-
gendered drives out the moisture from the
timber, and rs the lime cools the posts absorbs
1t. Thus the aIbumen Of the wood, which is
the part which causes decay, Is hardened and
made much less pcrishsbLe.a After sleeping
two or three weeks they are ready for use.

RoOsts and Large Breeds.

We noticed a certain breeder of Brahma.
provided no roosts for his flock, and we have
found his plan to have some merits. The
large breeds are liable to leg weakness, when
and to too much draught on the perches
When provided with bedding of straw they
escaped these difficulties and seemed to be
less subject to Ills and injuries. 1t IS point
worth considering, and the plan OF no roosts
for the large breeds should be given trial.
