A Communication.

OwOsSO, MICH, Nov. 23d, 1898.
EDITOR Ole THE TINES:
In looking over an account of the pro-
ceedings of council of Monday evening l
notice an item which asserts that Alder
stated that the city was paying too much for
its electric lighting in the City Hall and
quotes him as saying "We have been paying
e24 per month which l think is exhOrbi-
tant." and then he suggests that Welsbach
gas lights should be used, offering reso-
hutton to that effect. His assertion that the
city is paying S24 per month is misleading,
as 1t would give people the impression that
that was the average, when as matter of
fact the average per month for the year was
e14 So. Some months il was as low as S.
20. Now this includes the lights for the
SIRE department as well and some Of these
lights have to be burned all night. Now If
Mr. Alderman Walsh had taken the trouble
90 have gone over the bills for the year he
would have found out that 1t has cost the
city just about 4Sc. per night to maintain its
partment, etc. certainly not very extrava-
giant sum. From the very active measures
taken by this city's great economist In put
ting in the Welsbach, we would almost be
led to believe that he is allied to the Gas
%.
Let US consider who this great economist
Alderman Walsh Is, who makes so much
commOtion about bill that is Just 50. SO
more than 1t was for the same month last
year, although the city clerk has his Office
located in the building.
We find that Mr.. Alderman Walsh Is the
chairman of the committee having in charge
the building of the new bridge on west main
street, the delay In completion of which

loss that have heard estimated as running
Into the thousands of dollars besides caus-
general
Mr.. Chairman Alderman Walsh is mem.
Der of the important committee having in
charge the expanding of large sum of
money. and 1t was his duty to have looked
after this work instead Of absenting himself
weeks at time and by his neglect
and slip-shod method of looking after
the trust imposed on him by the
tax payers of this city, which so tried
their patience that the merchants went In
. body to bis store and prayed for some
measures to be taken to push the stone
work Of the bridge to completion. All be
sould say was to rive few feeble excuses
and make some promises.
This Mr. Chairman Alderman Walsh
seems to have his economical eye In one
direction only and while he thinks he sees
big leak amounting to 50 90 of the tax pay.
ers' money, goes along not noticing the
inconvenience and loss of hundreds and
thousands of dollars to the business interests
Of our city. our road alone having LOST
sufficient to have almost paid our proportion
Of the street paving.
The action of Mr.. Chairman Alderman
Walsh is very inconsistent and he could
have better employed his time II he attended

lltgas men arranging for the placing OF q

says writer in Ohio Farmer in sug-
costing that a "restrictor" be used
like the one illustrated. First arrange a
light piece of rope upon the animal 3
head as halter, then pass between
the fore legs and around the body just
back of the shoulders, making it secure.
Have the connecting rope just long
enough so that the animal can raise it's
head to natural position and no high
or, and it will be sure to stay In the lot
and at the same time suffer no torture
further than its possible desire to get
out, for in order to jump over fence
an animal must always raise Its head
above the normal position. and this it
cannot do when thus hampered. To
prevent the fore leg from getting over
the rope while the animal is feeding, it
Is wise precaution to have it held up
close to the breast by light cord pass
ing around the neck as shown. OF course
the rope will stretch little by little with
use, and accordingly all slack should
be promptly taken up as required.

Kanr Corn For Fattening Pigs.


Last winter Is experiments were
made at the Kansas Agricultural college
to test the value Of Kaffir corn as COM
pared with corn for fattening pigs, and
to find the best methods of feeding
Kaffir corn. At the close Of one expert
ment the pigs fed Kaff1r corn and corn
averaged respectively ITO and Ill
pounds each and were rough and lank.
The pigs fed Kaffir corn and soy bean
meals averaged 1874 pounds, those fed
corn and soy bean meals 154 pounds,
and both lots were we'll rounded out and
were sold at good prices for light fat
hogs. These experiments show that
Kaffir corn Is similar to corn In fatten-
ing qualities, but not equal to it; that
II small quantity of feed rich in pro-
tein, as alfalfa, soy beans or skimmilk,
Is added to the ration of Kaffir corn,
good results are obtained. Kaffir corn
has advantages over corn for many
parts Of the state as q crop to raise Tor
fattening pigs. On the college farm for
the last nine years the average yield per
acre per year for Kaffir corn has been
45.9 bushels and for corn 84.2 bushels.
Averaging the results obtained from
fattening pigs six months of age and
older. we have for the college farm an
average per year per acre Of 4b4 pounds
of pork from Kaffir corn and 400 pounds
of pork from corn. In the western half
of the state the difference in favor of
Kaffir corn is much greater, as in 1897,
in fields where corn yielded one to five
bushels per acre, the yield Of the Kafflr
corn was % bushels.
