IL raising fowls largely for meat in
stead of eggs. you want the large breeds
and those that grow rapidly. You must
feed them literally.
The earliest maturing fowl of the large
breeds is the Langshan which usually be-
gins to lay when months old. 1t makes
a good winter layer.
Ducklings, if exposed to wet weather
or even wet ground. are apt to take
cramp in their legs, and this in many
cases proves fatal. Keep them dry.

it, the best kind will be proftless without
good management, and good management
is the result of careful study.-St. Louis

ME-. j. G.. Brown Objects to Methods
In Vogue In the City.
Editor Times-Republican: There is
much discussion, criticism and kicking
at the present time by property owners
over ordinances compelling the erection
of permanent sidewalks on numerous
streets of the city, and there are good
reasons for objections. No one will
question the need OF good sidewalks,
but there is greater necessity for
graded streets; in fact, this is the first
requisite, and because of the council
ordering walks on many streets where
not even a grade has been established,
calls forth righteous protests. The law
is plain: The city must establish a
grade and bring the street to the grade
before 1T can order walks or build them
and tax the cost to the property owners
Sidewalks, like paved streets, should
be benefit to and enhance the value of
AUDITING property, but when they are
laid in cuts or on narrow ridges and no
grade to the street they are damage
to both. Much of the walk recently laid
on East State street is sample Of the
result of the city putting the cart be-
fore the horse When spring opens
some of this walk will slide off its mar
row ridge base.
spirited, liberal and loyal and will do
their part in furthering its best inter-
ests. They only ask that the city shall
first do it's duty by making graded
streets, as required by law.
Another thing. The people of our city
cay honestly feel proud of our beautiful
residence streets, lined with handsome
houses, surrounded by lovely grounds,
the pride of the owners and the admira-
ton of all visitors. The extensive i'm
provements at the present time are
adding new beauty, but there is one
feature that is proving serious detri-
ment to many residence localities. We
refer to the many cheap buildings erect
ed and used as grocery stores. These
places are a benefit In some portions of
the suburbs and when not encroaching
on the sidewalks or damaging the street
and adjoining property there can be no
objection raised against them, but when
they are located on paved street,
where extensive improvements are be-
ing made and the residents are vieing
with each other in making their prop
erty attractive, there are just reasons
for strong protests. AS an example we
call the attention of your readers, and
particularly the city authorities. to the
store on East Main street, where 6
cheap shed addition has recently been
extended to the sidewalk thereby shut
ting off the view of the street, damag-
ing the property in the block % to so
per cent and rendering the abutting
premises almost valueless. 1t is an
eyesore if not nuisance to the whole
jneighborhood.
We believe that the property owners
should have some protection from the
encroachments of these Objectionable
buildings in the residence portion of the
lcity. There would be nothing unfair IL
compelling the proprietors to keep their
stores in line with adjoining residences.
No one is secure, for he may look. out
from his beautiful residence any day
and see a cheap building going up on
! the sidewalk near him. j. c.. BROWN
