COUNCIL
MEETING.
Special Session TO Discuss Improvement
Of water Works.
SEVERAL PROPOSITIONS MADE
The Cost of a Storage Reservoir and Also
Cost Of a Steel Pipe Line From
Ulshafer's Run to Be Ascer-
tanned

special meeting Of the Borough Council
was held last evening to consider matters
bearing upon the public water works and
looking to an increased supply Of water to
ward of danger of a shortage of water dur
| ing the dry season. Mr.. H. A. Breisch. of
| Ringtown, was in attendance and gave the
| Councilmen an idea Of his plan to increase
the water supply. He proposed to drill forty
wells. lie would not guarantee more than
! htteen thousand gallons day for each well
and said pumping would be required. He
expected to be paid for the sinking Of the
wells.
Council spent some time in discussing
various suggestions, among them the cree
ton OF storage reservoir at BrandOnville
and the laying of pipe line from Ulshafer's
run to the pumping station
1t was finally decided to refer the proposi-
tion for Mr. Breisch to the water committee
with instructions that the committee also
ascertain the cost of thirty million gallon
storage reservoir, and the cost Of laying an
s-inch steel pipe line along the bed of the
creek from Ulshafer's run.
Just before Council adjourned President
Mcclure said that at the last meeting of
Council the Borough Auditors were requested
to turn over all books and papers in their
possession belonging to the borough and the
request was apparently complied with at the
time, but it was subsequently learned that
several papers were not returned by the
Auditors.
Upon motion of Mr. James it was decided
to instruct the Borough Solicitor, in couiuuc-
tion with the law committee, to have the
Auditors turn over to Council all papers and
other property belonging to the borough in
their possession, and if they do not do so at
once steps be taken to require them to
comply with the request.
suggestion was made that Council make
arrangements for its annual tour but it was
concluded to let the matter lay over until the
regular meeting night, next Thursday.

In the Poultry Yard.


Every little while one hears people
talk of their fowls dying of the roup.
Now the disease is largely due to
draughts in the hen-house. 1t isn't a
difficult job to make a door that will
shut, or to make shutters for the win
doWs.
Then, again, we are told what a
plague mites are. 1 rise to say that
mites is a question of cleanliness. The
matron at my elbow remarks that her
hen-house is clear of the pest. The
reason, she says, is because she scalds
1t with soapsuds every wash day. Then,
when some complain Of chicken chol-
era, she AYERS that it is simply lice that
ails the fowls. Vile, filthy hen-houses,
she says, breed lice, and they so weak
en- the fowls that diarrhoea sets in and
they die. l take it the matron knows,
for 1t has been many day since
heard complaints from the hennery.
am astonished that the hen-houses
are not kept clean. The best manure
in the world for small fruits comes
from them. Scatter it over the straw
berry bed, place it around the currant
and gooseberry, the blackberry and
raspberry bushes, and then you will
see fruit worthy the name. 1t dis
counts all the manufactured fertilizers
ever made. By making use of it you
kill two birds with one stone, i. e., pre-
serve the health of the fowls and in
crease the yield of the small fruits.
am fond of strawberry large enough
to make respectable mouthful.

Prevalence of Lice.

Some years ago The Farmers Re-
view sent an inquiry to many Of it's
correspondents as to the greatest cause
Of loss among young chicks. The al
most invariable reply was lice. Some
Of the poultry raisers put this loss as
high as rs per cent of total losses. 1t
Is difficult to make people believe that
the question of lice is killing one. II
any person should lose few chickens
from rodents or prowling animals he
would at once make a campaign against
the destroyers. But the lice come in
silently and begin their work Of de-
struction so naturally that the owner
Of the fowls often pays little attention
to them. But old poulrymen know that
the first campaign must be waged
against lice.
In looking for lice it is a good plan
to examine carefully all of the chicks.
To look at only a few of the little fell
lows and find no lice is no proof that
they are not plentiful. 1t is a fact that
the parasites gather on the weakest
chicks, leaving the strong ones free.
The weak ones seem to fall an easier
prey, and the first thing the owner of
the chicks knows a number of the lit
tie ones are found dead, and the won
der is what killed them. Beware of
lice, and do not temporize with them,

Getting wild Honey.

The usual way when a bee tree has
been found is to cut it down, stupefy
the bees with smoke as well as may be,
and take their honey. This, of course,
destroys all future harVests of sweet
from that tree or swarm. Possibly
Daniel Johnson, an old bee hunter, Of
Dedham, Me-, has discovered better
way. The bees provided against their
tree being cut down and their stores
destroyed by selecting a tree which
overhung deep ravine. If the tree
were cut down it would fall into the
ravine, smashing the tree and destroy
ing the honey. So he inserted gas
pipe from a hollow near the ground
running it up the tree until the honey
was reached. Then he built fire at
the foot of the tree. So soon as the
fire warmed the honey inside, it began
to run down, where it was caught in
pals. 1t nearly filled a barrel. Mr.,
Johnson thinks he has a permanent
hive Of bees on that tree so long as. 1t
does not succumb to the effects of FIRE
at its roots. He thinks there is enough
honey left to winter the bees, and that
next year they will go to work and fill
the empty combs. But it is very pos
sible that heat sufficient to melt honey
comb has killed the bees, and that the
barrel of honey this year is the last he
will get from that tree.

May wheat reached it's highest price
since 1891 on Feb. 10, selling on the
Chicago board of trade at $1.09. Many
factors have combined to cause this
advance, and it is now generally con-
coded that wheat will 90 higher be-
fore the new crop is harvested. It Is
known that Europe is confronted with
an enormous shortage. Liverpool has
only enough wheat to last a week.
The crop in the Argentine does not
meet expectations. On the top OF all
this the winter wheat district is bare
of snow and subject at any time to a
killing freeze. The following daily
quotations since January 16 show the
steady rise in wheat: Gle, $3.50, GIN,

98ho, ssssc. s1.OSh, S1.05 While the
Cuban war scare may have had a slight
effect on the recent quotations, experts
claim that the prime factor is a
scarcity of wheat, and expect steadily
advancing prices, Joseph Letter is
shipping 100000 bushels of wheat to
New York for foreign consumption,
and If necessary can dispose Of his en-
tire enormous holdings abroad. It

Feeding Eggs.

zone of the best things that ever
fed to my young chicks just Matched
is haTd-boiled eggs mixed with bread
crumbs"-thus writes one of our reg
ular subscribers, an old faneier who
knows full we'll just what he is talking
about, says the Feather. This fact re-
minds us of statements we had seen
quite to the contrary, and the opposite
opinions prompted us to investigate
this matter and find out the true situa-
ton. We find that many who stand
high in the profession feed their young
chicks always for the first three or four
days boiled eggs mixed with bread
crumbs. The eggs are boiled hard and
mashed fine, shell and all, and mixed
with bread crumbs; many save all the
clear eggs when testing the sitting
hens or incubator eggs as it may be,
and boil them for the chicks. The
most delicate Bantam and the sturdy
Brahma relish and prosper on this kind
of feeding, but at the same time it is
possible to overfeed this rich food. 1t
is not the quality of the food but the
quantity that Injuries the chicks, but if
properly fed it is of the highest order
of food for young chicks.
Place for the Incubators.-A cellar
is an excellent place for an incubator
because it is usually of an even tenn
perature, especially if the cellar is one
that will preserve roots and fruits, but
the atmosphere should be pure, which
will be the case in winter. Any place
will answer for the incubator that is
of an even and regular temperature
If the incubator is in a room where the
temperature changes no harm will re-
suit, provided the operator watches the
lamp flame and does not allow too
much heat to accumulate. The hot wa

ated in a warm place, If possible, in
