Council met in regular session FRI
day, all members being present and
Mayor Folk presiding.
The usual bills were allowed.
Police Judge Porter made his
monthly report, showing fines COL
lected Of $3.50, which had been turn
ed into the treasury.
Bonds Of Street Commissioner
Powell and Treasurer Sterl were APP
proved.
j. B. Warfeld was elected president
OF the council.
The mayor reported the following
appointments which were confirmed:
City attorney, c. E. Rugh; night
watch, H. 5. Folk; weighmaster, John
Jacoby; sexton, John Peterson.
c. c. Spangler was given $40 for Z
months sprinkling, same territory to
be covered as last years.
A resolution asking for bids from
the city papers for publishing official
notices for the coming year was de-
clared carried by the mayor, al.
though it received only three votes.
W. H. Eicholtz, chairman Of the
street committee, made report on
improvements already done and out
lined further work.
The matter Of taxing sidewalk re-
pairs against property onwers came
in for considerable airing. 1t seems
that the work done under the, direc
ton OF Dave Matteson, in which over
5000 worth Of lumber and about 800
extra labor were expended, has not
been charged against the property
and no memorandum or evidence ex-
lists where the work was done. 1t has
always been usual in such cases for
the street commissioner to make note
Of work performed at the time it is
done and have the charges taxed
against the property holder. But in
this case Matteson supervised the re-
pairs in person, claiming he could
not find the commissioner. Efforts
will be made to locate some of the
lumber and charge it to the proper
party, but at the best the city will be
out considerable owing to the bun
CLING manner Of the person in charge
Of the work.
G. W. Hurd and Manager Rogers
appeared before the council and urged
peaceful settlement Of the water
works question. An offer from the
company Of $4,000 for five years
contract was rejected by the council.
Manager Rogers made talk in which
he said that the company desired to
do nothing but what was right in the
matter, that he had stood the
kicks and cuffs from both sides, never
having made any recommendations to
the company, allowing them to pur-
sue their own course. II the council
would now make an offer at all reas-
enable, he would strongly recon-
mend its acceptance by the company.
The council went into executive ses-
sion and discussed the matter thor.
oughly. 1t is understood that an
agreement was reached but the
amount will be kept secret until its
acceptance by the company.
Council adjourned.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Wash the harness with soap and
water before oiling.
Do you waste your corn fodder?
Must have money to burn.
Early fall blowing will destroy many
weeds before they go to seed.
Don't put all out doors into wheat
because of the promise of the wheat
market, don't.
We repeat. that corn, wheat and oats
will not be permanently lower than
they are at present.
Corn fodder may be shredded, but
not perfectly. by running it through an
old threshing machine.
A threshing machine boiler that is
too small to do the work, is always
dangerous from over-pressure.
A farmer says that he kills Canada
thistles in the pasture by piling ma
nure on them thick enough to smother
them.
Put buggy beans or peas in tight box
and put little cup of bisulphide of
carbon on top, being careful that no
fire is near
Wheat. Independent of interest on
land, ought to be grown at six dollars
an acre at most. Eight, or even ten
bushels. per acre, will not pay.
Be careful to sow only the cleanest
timothy seed. Weeds in timothy make
bad work, worse than clover. though
they are bad enough there.-Western
Plowman.

guaa temperament,
INTELLIGENT EFFORT,

IL Counts as Much as Money in the
ImprOvemenE of Roads.
The farmer should be particularly in
terested in having good roads. first be-
cause he is usually taxed heavily to
maintain them-as real estate cannot
escape tAxation-and secondly for the
reason hat he has occasion to use them
10 a greater or less extent in the prose-
cution of his business. And the last
may often outweigh the first in dollars
and cents, when is taken into con-
sideration the moving of heavy loads
for a considerable distance over poor
roads.
Here is view of the case that should
not be lost sight of. 1t is not those
alone who drive for pleasure or bust
ness over our highways that should ask
for or demand their improved condi-
ton. This is for their interest and
convenience, it is true, and rightly too,
but the farmer who has to move his
produce to market or place of shipment,
or in the daily prosecution of his work
needs to use the road, gains or loses
in this direction in accordance with
their good or bad condition.
Good roads in such cases mean the
saving of time, the greater durability
of vehicles and the wear of teams.
Now the farmer, to say nothing of the
others, can afford to pay fair or lib

SELECTING SEED CORN.
1t should BE Done as soon rs the GraIr
Is Hardened.

Is Hardened.
In many localities the hot. DIR,
weather we had 10 July and the early
part of August affected the quantity
and yield of the corn to such an extent
that it will be an item next spring TO
secure good seed corn. The safest and
best plan is to lay in the needed supply
this fall and store it away where it will
keep in good condition.
The best time TO select the seed corn
is in the fall as soon as the grain is
well hardened. In addition TO making
sure of good supply, selecting in the
field in the fall affords better oppor.
tunity for making the best selection. as
the stalk as well as the ear can be
considered, which. of course. ,annot
be done after the corn is cribbed.
When the conditions of growth will
admit the best seed corn is that which
is selected from what is grown on the
farm, provided, of course. that proper
care is taken in the selection.
When the first selection is made il
is always best to select rather larger
quantity than will be needed. This
gives an opportunity of making Sec
ond selection. One item in selecting the
ears is to choose those that are well
filled both at the tip and at the butt.
The grain should be sound and deep.
While it is difficult to secure a very
large ear without fairly good-sized
cob, yet getting ears with deep grains
will make considerable difference in
the size of the cob So far as can be
done the ears should be uniform in
color, shape, of grain and time of ma.
turity
After sufficient quantity is secured
1t should be thoroughly dried, and then
stored where it will keep dry and be
safe from vermin. One of the most
serious objections TO taking seed corn
from crib in the spring is the risk
that its vitality may have been injured
by its being damp when thrown into
the crib or while standing in the field
and then being frozen. Exposure to
cold does not injure the vitality when
the grain is thoroughly dry. but if damp
it is often seriously injured by frost.
Good seed is so essential TO a good
growth and yield that it will be good
economy to use all reasonable care to
secure a full supply.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

GOOD USE FoR WEEDS.
When Properly Cared For They Make
Good Fertilizer,

GooG FERTILIZER.
Summer heat, when it comes, starts
numerous and enterprising crop of
weeds into active life. These may be
easily controlled by the frequent use of
the iron rake, which stiles them at
birth. But if. through inattention,
they get the start of the gardener and
reed to be reduced by the hoe, they
should be attacked vigorously at the
first chance and not allowed to perfect
and drop their seed into the soil. Pull
up and shake the larger ones when not
so near as to endanger valuable plants
thereby, and hoe up all others, not
merely scraping the ground over, but
raking it up and pulverizing it while
roofing out the weeds. These may
then, while still green and succulent, be
raked together and put into the COM
post heap, where they will be obliged to
return to the gardener all that they
have purloined from his soil. This
compost heap may, by a little care be
made quite an important factor in the
fertility of the garden. Not only all
weeds, but, as crops mature, all the
garden refuse not used for mulching
other plants, may be put into it, wet
thoroughly and covered with a little
earth and thus rotted down and re-
tanned for use as so much homemade
. fertilizer. 1t should be established in
some out-of-the-way corner; a hole
dug few feet deep to accommodate it
will be found convenient and the con-
tents drenched with hose from time to
time to promote decomposition, after
which few shovelfuls of earth will de-
Jay evaporation and help retain the
gases. When used the addition of wood
ashes and bone dust, of course, makes
1t by so much the richer.-Boston Tran
script.

Timothy grass is often sown on sandy
soil, not because it is especially adapted
to it, but because sandy soil is not easily
seeded with anything, and timothy,
which can be sown late in summer and
all through the fall succeeds rather bet
ter than the grasses and clovers sown in
spring. All sandy soils are deficient in
mineral plant food. Timothy does not
require much. either of phosphate or
potash. until its seeds begin to form. 1t
does not need one-quarter as much of
these minerals or of lime as does clover
and as its roots run near the surface it
is MANFRED chiefly by the ammonia
gathered by falling rains in their pas
sage through the air. When once seeded
with timothy, the grass will remain in
sandy soil until it is starved out, and
MOSES take its place.

SILK HAT AND OVERALLS.
A Little Story of Street Life Which
Points u Moral.

Down on Broadway one bright morn
ing recently two men were walking
briskly. They were dressed with great
care and good taste. Shiny silk hats,
fresh gloves and glossy shoes indicated
not only attention to little things but
also comfortable income.
Both men had alert intelligent faces,
and each looked as if he might be
somebody" The younger man seemed
to be unknown to the majority of those
on the street, but in his companion pc
destrians recognized one whose reputa-
ton is national. and whose picture has
appeared at one time and another in
newspapers all over the country.
At the corner of Cedar street stood a
short, Chunky" lad, perhaps Is years
old, dressed in overalls and Jumper"
In one hand he carried piece of lead
pipe, in the other a soiled scrap of
paper. His smutty face had an anxious
look.
AS the two well-dressed men reached
the boy he stopped them with: SAY,
boss, kin yer tell me where dis place is?"
and he held out the scrap of paper. 81
been chasin' meself all up an down de
street. an can't hit de combination"
The older man took the paper with a
pleasant smile and said: 81 shall be
very glad to help you if can"
He read the address and saw at once
that the place was probably on the
other side of the street. He excused
himself to his friend, waded through
the mud on the crossing. and, with the
plumbers apprentice at his side,
searched the signs without success.
Then he took the boy to the drug
store on the corner and helped him run
over the names in the directory until he
found that the boys employer had
made a mistake in the number.
The correct address was substituted
and the lad in overalls put upon the
right track by his distinguished guide
with such marked courtesy that the boy
paused, as he turned away, to say in
somewhat subdued tone: "Much
'bliged to yer, sir"
The man in the silk hat bowed cour-
teously in acknowledgment, and re-
crossed the street to his waiting friend.
Seems to me you took good deal
of trouble to set that boy right" was
the younger mans greeting.
at was a good chance to teach him
manners" said the other. Boys like him
are quick to learn. They work hard
and get on fast in business or trade. be-
cause some one corrects them when
they make mistakes. But how can they
learn politeness? They get their man
ners from the people around them. If
everybody's rude to them they must
grow up rude themselves. 1t seems to
me good deal worse to be impolite to
a boy like that than to be impolite to a
man in my own set."-Youth's Com
