past few days, and there seems to be a
general desire Ito better it if such a
thing is possible. There Is so much
sickness in the city at this time that
the matter of pure water is one of
great moment.
The matter of the purchase of the
city water plant has been under discus
sion for some time. The franchise of
the present company expires within a
short time and it is believed an en-
deavor will be made to secure the own
ership of the plant by the city. The
matter has been talked of among the
members of the city council and in
quiries have been made of other cities
who have municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities. AS a rule it has been found
that public ownership is decidedly pop
ular.

BAD WATER CAUSES MALARIA.
Many People in creston and Vicinity
Suffering From Grip.


Special to Times Republican.
Creston, March 10.-Creston and vi
entity seem to be suffering with an
epidemic Of grip or malaria according
to the opinion of the attending phys
ician. There are now nearly a hundred
cases reported in and surrounding the
city and tho no deaths have as yet re-
suited, the disease in many cases is
quite serious. but in most cases the
patients are not confined to their beds,
tho unable to be at work. The doctors
say that it is due to the excessively wet
season of last year that has left much
OF the drinking water polluted.
The attendance at the public schools
is greatly diminished in consequence
and an effort will be made to have
the wells of the city examined to dis
cover the presence of malaria germs

HOW TO MAKE HOGS PAY.

The pigs should have dry, clean bed.
free from dust and filth.
The hog should find a place in the
economical management of every farm.
A sow should never be confined to a
dry lot barren Of all grasses and other
forage.
No difference how plentiful the sup
ply of Stops, the hogs should have fresh
water daily.
While dust in the bed is injurious, more
may be said against dampness, which lie
fatal to thrift.
Sows during CESSATION should have
plenty of opportunity for exercise to Sc
cure healthy pigs.
Before narrowing sows are the better
for an abundance of exercise; let them
have all they will take.
The hog to thrive best must be given
food that will build up the system even
ly. The bone, muscle and fat must main.
tain just proportions.
1t Is hardly good economy to condemn
sow for bringing small litter Of pigs
at first narrowing, as she may thereafter
always bring a goodly number.
There Is no advantage in especially
large filters of pigs. Eight or ten good
thrifty pigs from any sow will be of better
size and quality than a larger number
and she can suckle them better-Farm

SHEEP AND FERTILITY.
With Divine Assistance Run-DOwn
Farms Can BE Restored to High
State of PrOductiveness.

A good flock of sheep will do any land
good and is the best of property for a
run down farm. A Michigan authority
on sheep says: Land that could not
be cropped profitably, owing to wheat
raising, is now yielding larger crops
than when it was virgin soil. Great
opportunities have been presented in
building up these rundown farms,
which could be purchased for half what
they proved to be worth when restored.
Michigan soil recuperates rapidly when
given an opportunity. My land is worth
double what l paid for it seven years
ago. l ripped up some clover sod and
planted it in corn June 81 last. The
crop yielded 100 bushels of grain. An
other field yielded 125 bushels of ear
corn. Yet all this land was SO badly
run down few years ago that it would
not raise enough to justify planting it.
These rundown wheat lands, when built
up, grow as good corn as ever saw in
Iowa or Illinois; in fact, 1t is the best
corn land, owing to it's warmth in early
spring. The Michigan feeder has two
sources of profit, one from the gain of
his stock and another by the addition
OF the fertility to his farm, which, in the
course of few years, doubles its value
All these opportunities are not gone,
by any means. Plenty of rundown
farms are yet to be had. and the task
OF building them up is by no means
formidable, with ovine assistance In
five to seven years values may be
doubled and feeding operations are
bound to pay during that period, ad-
hitting the possibility OF one or two
bad years."
