public generally.
"The reductions we have made," said
Commissioner German. "affect the prop
ertv only of comparatively poor people.
In some cases we have reduced the assess
ments on vacant lots and unimproved
property, but not until 1t has been clearly
proven to us that the assessments were
too high.
"We did our work hurriedly this year
but well, all things consi dered. The re-
many that were made were compulsory
under the Veteran act. No discrimfna-
tons have been made and am glad that
the public will be given an opportunity
of knowing whose assessments we nave
reduced and the amount OF reductions
decided upon"
The reductions in the First district to
date amount to Sl09, 700; Second district,
S74, 800; Third district, 3.400; Fourth

Poultry Topics.

It is much better to divide the
flock at night, permitting a small
number to roost together. Crow
ding results very frequently in dis
eases.
Grind up the bones from the meat
you use on the table, leaving some
of the meat on the bones, both be-
ing essential at intervals. Hens
lay better if thus fed twice or three
times week.
The earthern drinking fountain
is the cleanest and most convenient
when water must be carried to a
fieek of fouls. The water remains
cooler in earthernware than in tin.
A running stream is best of all.
The Silky foul is toy, yet many
admire it for its odd appearance.
The hens lay well but their eggs are
not large. Their feathers are like
hair, standing up straight. Their
wattles and combs are blush red
color.
Keep the poultry in a house es-
pecialy provided for them. Do not
permit the manger in the horse or
COW stable to be contaminated with
the droppings, making the food dis
tasteful to the horse or COW that &C.
cupies the stall.
