SEWER FOR PARKDALE.
Councilman Morgan Preparing Plans
for Drainage.

The East side drainage or sewer dis
trict is to be revived before the city
council. A year ago an effort was
made to have a drainage district east
of the Santa Fe tracks, but there was
so much objection that the project was
abandoned.
Councilman Morgan is now at work
on the plan and he will soon bring it
before the council The only question
is whether the proposed district shall
be simply for drainage or whether it
shall be a regulation sewer. Council
man Morgan thinks that a drainage
district will be all that the people care
to have, but Dr. H. A Warner is at
the head of a faction that wants a
sewer and will be satisfied with moth
ing less. DR.. Warner says that
sewer can be built for SIS per lot and

GET FLESH.
Get Strength, vigor, Clear Complexion
and Good Digestion, Not by Pat
eut Medicines, But in Ma
lures Own Way.


Any honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased
flesh all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor of mind and
body, and that is through the stomach by
wholesome food well digested. There is
no reason or common sense in any other
method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous,
pale and shaky in their nerves, simply be-
cause their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dispep-
STA, but the fact remains that they do not
eat enough food or what they eat is not
quickly and properly digested as it should
be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secre-
ton of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this, but none so readily as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which are
designed especially for all stomach trou>
bIes, and which cure all digestive weak
ness on the common sense plan of fur
nishing principles which the stomach
lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest

BUTCHERS AFTER TRUSTS.
New York Mems Scheme for Co oper-
alive Buying.

New York. June 14.-Arthur Block.
president of the New York Retail
Butchers Mutual Protective associa-
ton and the New York Butchers Fat
Melting association, said yesterday:
I'VE are not saying a word about COM
bines or trusts, but these are facts
The price of beef has been forced up 2
cents a pound within two months, and
price of tallow has been forced down
from cents, its market value several
years ago, to cent now. The butchers
are organizing for protection From
our plans, you may judge as well as
what we intend to DO and how far we
are likely to succeed"
The yallow trust was not accused of
any relation with the beef trust, but
the aggreSSiOnS of each, coming at the
same time resulted in the formulation
of a general plan designed to overthrow
each. This plan is the organization of
cooperative companies to do for the
butchers what they have been unable
to accomplish otherwise. Ultimately
they expect to buy and slaughter their
own cattle First, they propose to de-
stroy the tallow trust.
THE weekly production of tallOw in
New York is about 1900 900 pounds.
Our enterprise must enhance its value
at least One-half cent pound immedi
ately. That will mean a weekly saving
of S12 1000 to the butchers of New York
when they are all in the association.
You may figure for yourself what the
same method will accomplish when APP
piled to the beef supply of the New
York butchers.
I do not want to be quoted as cen
surfing the wholesale beef houses for

Sorghum as a Forage Crop.

sorghum and it's adaptability as
forage crop. The subject is thor
oughly discussed in a bulletin recent
ly issued by the Department of Agri-
culture. We take from it as follows:
Although there have been so many
varieties of sorghum introduced into
cultivation, not more than ten or
twelve of these are in general use at
the present time. Those which give
best returns in sugar and molasses
are not always the best to grow for
forage. For this purpose they should
be hardy, rapid growing, not too
coarse, quick maturing, well seeded
with soft seed free from astringency,
and they shout.- stand up well. While
high sugar content is desirable, that
quality is not so necessary as are the
others named.
Early or late varieties may be used,
according to the time at which the
forage will be most needed. AS gen
eral rule, the earlier varieties are the
best for forage purposes. Seed may
be planted at various times during
the spring, and thus almost any de-
sired succession of forage obtained.
The Amber canes are the most wide
ly used for forage purposes, especially
the earlier sorts. In the north and
west, Early Amber and Minnesota
Early Amber are grown almost exclu-
sively. The former originated in In
diana as an early form of one of the
Chinese sorghums, and from it the
latter originated, as the name indi-
Gates, in Minnesota. The Amber canes
have a high sugar content, and come
nearest to combining all the other
qualities of a general-purpose cane.
Next to these in value and extent Of
cultivation come the Orange varie-
ties, especially those known as Early
Orange and Kansas Orange. These
are extensively grown in the south
and southwest, and are preferred by
some to the Amber canes. The Or
ange canes are generally coarser
growing and later than the Amber,
and hence are less desirable for early
feed or for hay, although as good or
even better, perhaps, for late soiling
or for the slo. Sorghum, like corn,
does best on rich, sandy loans. 1t is
a stronger feeder than corn, and gives
better results on thin lands. It is
maintained that when land has be-
come too poor and thin to raise corn
or small grain two or three good
crops of sorghum may be obtained
from it, and the land will be left in
better condition for corn, cotton and
other surface-feeding crops.
Sorghum is generally regarded as
harder on land than corn, and this is
undoubtedly true to a great extent,
since it is a deeper feeder and two or
more crops are often harvested in a
single season. Still there are many
instances of sorghum being grown
on the same field for many years
without any apparent lessening of
the quantity or quality of the crop
from the impoverishing of the land,
and there are many soils that are un-
doubtedly benefited by the deep-grow-
A

United States and in many portions
of Canada. AS a general thing, sor-
ghum will do we'll in the north wher-
ever corn can be successfully grown,
while it is standard crop in many
places in the south where corn is
grown in limited quantities. Many
different methods of preparing the
soil for sorghum are practiced in the
various parts of the country. In gen
eral it may be said that the land
should receive essentially the same
treatment as if it were to be planted
to corn. The time and depth of plow
ing will necessarily vary according to
the season and the character of the
soil. and climate. In any case the
soil should be in fine filth to a good
depth, so as to afford good seed bed.
The best time for planting this crop
for forage varies from about the mid
die of April in the south to the p1id-
die or the first of June in the north.
AS a rule, it should be planted soon
after the corn is in. The seed should
not be put into the soil until the lat
ter has become well warmed, so that
termination may take place at once.
Moreover, the young sorghum plants
grow slowly if the weather is cold
and weeds are likely to become trou'
blesome. On the other hand, if the
soil is warm and free from weeds to
start with, the sorghum will keep
ahead of the weeds and cultiva tion
will be much easier. AS a rule, the
best forage is obtained by sowing the
seed broadcast or with a press drill,
such as is used in planting small
grain. Many farmers mix corn, mil
let and various kinds Of peas or beams
with the sorghum, and in this way Sc
cure a better quality Of forage. The
sowing of legumes with sorghum is
an excellent practice. The large
amount of muscle-making substances
in the legumes, together with the slg-
ar and other fat-forming elements i'll
the cane, affords a much more evenly
balanced ration than either of the
plants would make alone. Moreover,
the legumes will do much to replace
whatever nitrogen the sorghum may
take from the soil. Sorghum should
always be sown much thicker when
grown for forage than when it is to
be used in the manufacture of sugar
or molasses. The amount of seed
needed per acre will vary somewhat
according to the kind of forage de-
sired, the method of planting to be
followed, and the character of the
soil. The practice varies greatly in
different parts of the country, ranging
from one-ha1f bushel to three bush
els per acre, broadcast or drilled. I'm
der ordinary conditions one and one
half to two bushels as to go pounds)
will be sufficient when sOwn broad
cast, and somewhat less amount will
suffice when planted with a press
drill.
Stockmen are unanimous in placing
high value upon sorghum for soil
ing purposes. It is not only an excel
lent forage for growing animals and
those which are being prepared for

Cruelty TO Hens.

There is apparently no end to the
capabilities of the ''N'' rays. They are
now used as an incentive to fowls to do
their duty, and a sure means Of finding
ont the lazy and slothful egglayers. a
farmer with large quantity OF poultry
found, after carefully compiling sta
tistics, that the number of eggs pro-
duced was not so great as it ought to
be, and he computed that at least one
fifth of the birds were either sluggards
or useless. Accordingly the Roentgen
rays were called into requisition, and a
preliminary examination OF IL hens
showed that eight were egg producers
and four were not. An "X" ray plant
was then permanently established. and
all the hens were subjected to search
irg examination at the rate of 80 per
hour. This put the birds on their best
behavior, and the result was decided
increase in eggs. The nonproducers
were ruthlessly plucked and sent to
market.-London Telegraph.
