Will KEEr OPEN NIGHTS.
County Treasurer Edmund Will Ac-
cOmmOdatc Taxpayers.

County Treasurer Edmund will keep his
Office open evenings until 10 o'clock UP to and
including May 81 in order to accommodate
those who desire to pay their taxes. After
June the usual penalty will be added to
taxes remaining unpaid. Mr. Edmund states
that there appears to he some misunderstand-
ing regarding the law passed by the last
legislature providing for the payment of taxes.
The new law provides that by paying one
half of the taxes prior to June / the balance
does not become delinquent and penalty add
ed until Nov. ]. The law, however, provides
that it does not go into effect until JAM /.
1898, and consequently the change will not
affect the taxes of 1895, which were due and
payable Jan. of this year

FACTORY INSPECTION.
Partial Report of the Work That
Has Been Done.


Factory Inspector Craig yesterday
submitted to the state labor depart
ment reports on twenty-five additional
factories which he has during the past
few weeks inspected. The reports show
that in a majority of cases the own
ers or managers comply with the or
ders Of the labor department, it be-
ing necessary in only about Is per cent
Of the cases to issue orders for safe
guards and safety devices. This shows
a decrease in the number of instances
where there is dangerous machinery
exposed.
The twenty-five factories inspected
brings the total to 1926. and there are
being compiled, based upon the returns
figures showing the number of adults
and children employed in these places
and the percentage of children to
adults The industries, including de-
partment stores, are classified.

and mingled with these sounds were
the cheers q the sailors, the shouting IL

Ii light sun, shining through q clear sky

Runs for Fowls.

The following practical points we
take from Farmers Bulletin No. Al,
United States Agricultural Depart
ment:
"Where fowls are kept in COnfne-
ment 1t will be found best to provide
outdoor runs or yards for them during
the summer months. Give them free
access to these yards whenever the
weather will permit. The most eco
nOmical form, everything considered,
for a poultry yard Is one much longer
than wide, Two rods wide and eight
rods long is sufficient fol- fifty fowls.
Whenever a poultry plant of consider
able size is to be established 1t will be
found most economical to arrange the
yards side by side, with one end at the
poultry house. The fences which in
close these yards may be made of pOul.
try netting or pickets, and should be
at least seven feet high. In either
case 1t is best to have a board at the
bottom, for sometimes it will be desir-
able to give quite young chickens the
run Of these yards. If the poultry
yards are constructed as described,
there is sufficient room for a row of
fruit trees down the center OF the yard,
and still leave ample room for horse
cultivation on either side, either with
one or with two horses.
"These yards are to be kept thor
oughly cultivated. If thought best,
grain may be sOwn before cultivation
to furnish part Of the green food for
the fowls. OF all fruit trees, probably
there are none that are more suitable
for the poultry yard than the plum.
The droppings Of the fowls will ma
nure the trees, and the fowls as insect
destroyers perform q great Office in
protecting plums from the curculio.
After the trees are once well estsb-
lished, a crop of plums should Le SO.
cured nearly every year. These, too,
will require no extra cultivation. The
plum trees perform a valuable service
In providing shade for the fowls.
Where trees are not available, sun
flowers may be used for this purpose
with a considerable degree of satisfac-
tion. However, some protection must
be given the plants until they are well
established, and even then many plants
will be destroyed unless the fowls have
an abundance Of green food all the
time.
