CaIf-Feedinx Advancement.


A practical old farmer, who is all the
time studying how to improve his farm
methods, gives the following simple
device for holding pail when feeding
the calves:
First, make frame out Of plank
foot wide, and long enough to accommo-
date the number Of calves to be fed,
leaving the bottom open. Take board
a foot wide; with keyhole saw cut
holes large enough to take pail in
half way up the sides, in number equal
to the number OF calves. Nail this on
the top Of the plank frame. Fasten
the whole to the side Of the barn, or
II 1t be used out of doors, to the fence,
so 1t can be moved away. When the
time comes to feed, set the pals along
in the holes and pour the milk In. BY
this means each calf is given Its own
mess, and the pals cannot be tipped
over.-Dairyman.

HOW 70 Tiphten Wagon Tire..


Wagon tires will become loose in dry
weather, and some owners think the
remedy lies in having them cut and re-
set. A better way is to soak in water
until tight, and then soak in boiling oil.
A Bucks County farmer fixing his
wagon wheels one day last week had
an iron pan, six inches deep, the bot
tom slightly rounded-that is, deeper
in the middle than at the ends. This,
half full Of linseed-oil, was resting its
ends on two stones over a fire. When
the oil was at boiling heat, wheel,
raised by jack to be just the right
height, was placed over the pan so the
rim would be covered by the oil, and
was run through the oil until every
part of the rim was saturated. This,
the owner said, fastened the tire perina-
nently, and preserved the wood Of the

Time of Seeding Crimson Glover.

In experiments in New Jersey, ac-
cording to the station record, it was
found that where the soil was not rea-
sonably good 1t was necessary, In or
der to secure good stand, to delay
sowing until September. On poor soils
excellent crops were secured when the
seed was sown even as late as October.
For good lands the author recommends
that seed be sown between July Is
and September 10. 1t was found that
in New Jersey spring seeding either
alone or with oats gave disappointing
results.

HYDRAULIoN FIRE COMPANY MEET
ING.-A special meeting of the Hy-
draulion fire company was held last
night to investigate the failure OF their
engine to report for duty at the Pelton
fire on Sunday night. The meet
ing was called to order by MIR. r. n.
tironau. Vice President Barley stated
that The meeting had been called
10 investigate the failure of the engine
TO report at the recent fire; if the com
pauy had committed an error he wish
ed to correct it and, il not, he WISHED
to stand by the men who had been
charged with the error. After long
debate Messrs. NJ. B. Harlow, Thomas
Dix and E. F. Downham were appoint
a committee to investigate the matter
and to act with The fire wardens in as
pertaining the cause of the failure of
the engine to report at the fire. Mr..
Barley said the company had under
stood that the fire wardens had refer
red the matter to Warden Brill. Mr..
Brill, he said, had been a member of
the Columbia company, and the Hy-
dralion company wanted entirely disin-
terested parties to investigate the mat
ter.
There were two factions at the meet
ing-one holding that the company
had no power to act in this particular
matter and the other contending that
they had such power.
After Mr.. Barley and some of his
friends had left the meeting, an inves-
., int
tary was directed to forward the follow
ing to the fire wardens as the result of
the company's investigation:
ALEXANDRIA, VA, May 2, 1895.
To the Board of Fire Wardens:
Gentlemen. At meeting of the Hy-
draulion Fire Company held tonight
the following was the result Of our in
vestigation
We, the Hydraulion Fire Company,
submit the following report of our in.
vestigation of the failure OF our engine
to reach the fire on Sunday night last.
The company finds that the alarm OF
fire on Sunday night last was communi-
Gated to our engine house through the
telephone, which rang for the Fifth
district, and at the same time our
driver was told verbally to go to the COZ,
ner of Columbus and Oronoco streets
Not finding anything (the fire not hay
ing broken out yeti they went in the
Fifth district and, not finding any fire,
returned home. There they were told
where the fire was and started Tor it,
but were stopped at the corner of CO.
lumbus and Queen streets by one of
our members, who informed them that
it was out. We also find, after thor
ough Investigation, that our driver and
engineer did all in their power to To-
cate the fire and we recommend to the
Fire Wardeps that they be exonerated
from all blame. We also fud that the
present system is unreliable and the
company recommend that a fire alarm
telegraph system be put in. Should
your board deem further investiga-
lion necessary the company will have
committee of three to meet your
board Jointly and discuss the matter.
Yours very truly

MADE THEM LEAVE THE CITY,
Morris H. Billor, a German, yesterday
swore out warrant in the Police Court
against Annie Brantman. charging hel
with bringing his wife Jennie and
another German woman named Annie
Schwartz from New York to this city
for immoral purposes. He alleged that
the Brantman woman went to New
York recently and applied at an intel
ligence office for two women, saying
she wanted to bring them to Virginia
to work at legitimate calling. Wien
she got them to this city, he says, his
wife discovered the fraud and sent for
him to come here and take her back to
New York. Billor's wife has limited
stock Of English and the Schwartz wo-
man can speak none. Councilman
Louis Kraft was called in to act as IN
terpreter at the trial yesterday even
ing. Annie Brantman, in her defense,
said she went to New York recently on
u visit and that while there she visited
a place where information concerning
people with whom she keeps company
can be obtained and became acquaint-
ed with Billor, and that he agreed to
allow the woman he claims as his wife
and Annie Schwartz to accompany her
60 Alexandria and received five dollars
for his consent; that both women came
here aware of the business in which
they were to engage. She further as
serted that Billor later appeared in Al
exandria himself, put up at her house
and was finally told he could not be
supported there in idleness. He then
swore out the warrant against her.
She also asserted that he was persist
ent in his demands for money. Mayor
Strauss ordered the Brantman woman
to purchase tickets TO New York for the
two women and told Billor he could
get back to that city as best he could.
Officer Griffin took charge of the party
and saw them aboard the 1852
train which left here last night.
