COMMISSIONERS REBUKED.
VigO County Auditor Files a Sensa-
tiOnaI Protest at Terre Haute.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 14-County
Auditor Soules has caused a sensation by
filing with the Board of County Commits
sioners a formal protest against their ac-
ton in letting contracts. The auditor and
the commissioners are Republicans, and this
fact adds to the situation. In this protest
he says:
1.-THE manner and method of letting bridge
contracts is unjustifiable and without the
shadow of an excuse. Contracts involving
thousands of dollars are let to private par
ties and without bond any chance to
know whether the price is reasonable. This
method, you know. has met with the con-
demnation of myself and other county Off
Gals. Some of the members of this board
have said privately, and majority, if not
all, have promised. that it would be discon-
tinued. but it has not and is not. The name
of every member of the board was, and is
now, signed to a contract of this very kind
involving the expenditure OF thousands OF
dollars. and this was done no later than
last Friday. But this is not all. AS a mat
ter of fact, these contracts are let weeks or
months before the auditor, as clerk of the
board has any knowledge of it, In fact
the bridges are nearly completed before the
contract is spread on record. do not pro-
wrong.
Il give you fair warning that nothing but
the mandate OF a court or competent Jurls-
diction will get a warrant for The payment
of any bridge contracts not now on record
and will resent to the utmost amy tempt
to carry on this business in this way. The
county expenses have been steadily increas-
ing. The county Indebtedness has increased
$4,000 in eighteen months, and this in the
face of q high tax rate and unusually
large collection of both delinquent, and cur
rent taxes"
The secret awarding of contract to the
Massillon Bridge Company few days ago
was the last straw. f. N. Gray. agent
of the company, has been here tor several
days and two of the three commissioners
have been holding secret conferences with
him at his room in the hotel, where they
let contracts to his company. This COM
pany has had about all the unusually large
amount of money that has been expended
for that purpose for a year or more.

These hot days are not only tery
nerve-trying to the human family, but
to our feathered friends as well. See
TO 1t, by all means, that your poultry
have all the fresh, cool water they
want each day, and supply them with
shade. A little tincture of iron in
their drinking water will prove valu.
able tonic to them also. z
1t is now time to whitewash their
houses, if you will be free of lice and
the little red mites that are SO de.
structive to your poultry. Do not for.
get that cleanliness is next to Godli.
ness" and also in the road to success
in raising good poultry. Your cock,
erels should be separated from the
pullets and old hens, and the year.
lings or two-year-old hens should
now be fed largely on oats, wheat and
barley, as they are fast changing their
fine, beautiful plumage for the coming
winter. This process is very trying
to them, and unless good care is
given them you will lose some OF
your best hens. See that they
are contented and, if possible
have no cock birds with them at all at
this time of the year, as they will dc
better and moult quicker, and your
cock birds will be more vigorous when
put back in the pen, when your yards
are mated up for the Matching season.
Your culls should now be sold or
separated from your best birds,so that
those you intend wintering or selling
for breeders will have the best posi-.
BILE chance to develop into as good
birds as their. breeding permits.
Do not crowd the young at night.
Arrange SO that their roosting places |
are cool and airy, but not such that
they will be subjected to any drafts OF
air, as they will catch cold and thus be
retarded in growth.
If your chickens do not have free
range, supply them with fresh green
stuff every day. This is not only an

TIE CORN PLANT.


The corn plant is very valuable,
worth almost as much as the eur. The
corn plants absolutely wasted in this
country annually might be represented
by row Of IL fgures, with dollar
mark on the left The s1te is the ideal
place to save all in th2 best possible
condition, but. comparatively speak :
ing, there are very few siIos, and the
great majority of farmershave to make
tho best OF it without the silo.
The corn should not be allowed, to
get too ripe before cutting, and par
ticularly it should not be frosted.
When the grains are fairly solid and
just about out of the doughty condi-
ion, cutting should be pushed rapidly
The corn should be set upright On the
ground, not too thiclly together, a.
faat as cut, and secured by tying, 20 1t
can not fall or blow over.
The corn should be cut close to the
ground, as the feeding value of the
part below the ear is worth more than
twice that above tie ear, and high
stubble on the field is a nuisance IN
more ways than one. In q week or
two the corn has dried AMI cured verv

To have the slower in the finest and
best feeding condition, it should be
stored in the barn or under shelter al
soon as cured and dried in the shock,
In storing, the sheaves should be placed
in an upright position, and there viii
be no mould. If there is no room to
store it in shelter, the next best meth.
cd is to put it in a waterproof stack;
but hardly one in fifty farmers can
succeed in building waterproof stack,
SO that rather thatn have it rot in a
pile, 1 advise to set it up in large
shocks very solidly and carefully and
tie the tops well together with strong
fodder yarn, and the waste will be
only on the outside sheaves, while all
the others will come out in good,
sweet conditin. You say, why all
this fuss about corn fodder? Well. a
ton of corn stover, well cured and well
cared for and properly fed, is worth
as much or little more than a ton OF
timothy hay when eaten by your
dairy cows. And, who ever saw =
farmer cut timothy about half way to
the top aud let it lie around in the
held until winter, when needed, then
haul it home and throw it on the ma
nure pile for the cows to run oyer and
trample? The wasting of corn stover
seems to be an acquired bad habit OF
the American people. Let us reform.

Washington dispatch, that Hawaii has
paid to Japan $4,000 as indemnity for
the refusal of the Hawaiian Govern
ment to allow certain Japanese to land
in Hawaii at various times during the
past three years. Quite complication
arose over the claim of Japan for a
larger amount about the time the new
treaty of annexation was negotiated
but this payment no doubt clears it
all.
Mr.. Sewau says that the payment Of
$75 900 referred to was in full settle
