How to Tell an Oysters Age.

The oyster at the commencement of
it's career is so small that 2,OOO,OOO
would only occupy a square inch. In
six months each individual oyster is
large enough to cover silver half dol
lar. The oyster is it's own architect.
and the shell grows as the fish inside
grows, being never too small.
1t also bears its age upon its back.
and it is as easy to tell the age Of an
oyster by looking at it's shell as it is
that of horses by looking at their teeth.
Every one who has handled an oyster
shell must have noticed the successive
layers overlapping each other. These
are technically named shots, and each
one marks a years growth, so that by
counting them the age of the oyster
can be determined. Up to the time of
it's maturity--t is, when four years
Of age-the shots are regular and sue
cessive,; but after that time they be-
come irregular and are piled one upon
another. So that the shell becomes
bulky and thickened.
Fossil oysters have been seen Of
which each shell was nine inches thick,
whence they may be guessed to be
more than 900 years old.

When women Were Captured.

In Deuteronomy XX, If, women are

observed in taking to wife a woman
captured in war. In the song Of praise
attributed to Deborah andaBarak when
eXulting over the defeat and death of
Sisera we find Judges V, 30): Have
they not speed? Have they not divided
the prcy--to every man damsel or

the Israelitcs captured women and
took them to wife. That it was also a

How TO Balance the Ration.
Many farmers realize the impor

but do not know how to compound
one. The methods hitherto in use tend
to discourage making the necessary
calculations. as they involve guess
work on unfamiliar ground. followed
by tedious calculations, to be followed
by a,.otbnr guess and the succeeding
calculations and so Oh, until approx
matciy the correct quantities have

explains and illustrates a method of
his own by which, he claims, it is pos
sibl6 to calculate a ration exactly if
thu .---.'t. a8i,iJn Of the feeds j" Known.
He has endeavored to so simplify the
calculation Of ration that any intel
hgent farmer may undertake and &C
complish it with but little labor. The
process is designed to meet ordinary
requirements, to be within the mathe-
NAUTICAL range of all and to demand
slight expenditure of time.
This bulletin comEats the statements
Of textbooks on computing rations and
is designed to show that rations Of any
degree Of perplexity may be balanced
with absolute eXactness by simple
arithmetical processes if feeds are

UNDERWOOD G. sLINGLUFF DE.
cLARED OWNERS OF PLANT
BY-JuDGE MCPHERSON.
RECEIVER DISCHARGED
City Council is Now in Position to Pass
Waterworks decentralization viii
Probably Be Taken At Meeting on
Monday Night.

From Saturdays Daily.
The recent sale of the plant of the
City Water Supply Co.. to Underwood
& Slingluff was officially approved in
the federal court today, according to
notification received by Attorney VIM.
McNett from Attorney Scott Howell,
of keokuk. counsel for the Continent
al Trust Co., the complainant in the
foreclosure case as a result of which
the sale was made. The order APPROX
ing the sale is signed by Judge Smith
Mcpherson and is effective today. An
order approving the final report of
James Winans, receiver of the City
Water Supply Co.. was also issued and
the receiver was relieved of further
service. The approval of the sale Of
the plant now places the council in a
position to pass the waterworks ordi-
nance which has been hanging fire for
some time.
May Pass Ordinance Monday.
The ordinance has now passed its
second reading and is ready to be plac-
ed upon its passage. All the amend
ments thought to be necessary by the
council have been added and the doc
ument it is stated will not be changed
| further. One Of the members of the
~, l,o
ordinance giving a twenty-five years
| franchise to Underwood & Slingluff to
operate and maintain a water supply
| system here, unless the plant is pur-
chased by the city in the manner and
by the means set forth in the ordinance
i will be passed at the special meeting
Of the council Monday night.
To Have Special Election.
1t will be necessary to call a spe-
cial election for the ratification of the
franchise even if the ordinance is
passed Monday evening. The law re-
quires that thirty days notice be Civ
en- OF the election and it is now too
late to allow that period of time be-
| fore the election November 3. 1t was
thought that the ordinance would be
passed previous to this time but the
council was advised by City Solicitor
Jaques to wait until the sale of the
plant was confirmed before taking fin
al action, thus the delay.
Waterworks Middle May Soon End.
Little doubt is felt that the ordi-
nance will be passed by the council
as the members of that body realize
now that but little else remains to be
done. Whether or not the electors
of the city ratify the action of the
council if the ordinance is passed re,
