The result of the Investigations of Gaar.
Scott & Co. concerning the expense of the
paving they intend to make around their
property shows the city is being gouged and
gouged hard In its public improvements. The
city engineer, Mr.. NJ. l.. Weber, a most
competent and efficient official makes esti-
mates upon city week at prices far higher
than a private company could get in open
competition. The Gaar-Scott affair showed
that the city engineer figured in more gravel
than could possibly be used. The price of
his material was higher than contractors
pay for when they figure for private jobs
Other differences existed which went to
show that under Engineer Weber's bene-
ficient administration the city is getting
the hot end OF the stick when 1t comes to
public improvements.

yellow Butter without Dye.

To make butter with natural yellow
color during the winter months is almost q
lost art I'm this age of frauds and shams.

to prevent it being colored yellow, they do
not sell their own butter with its natural
color. but few drops of butter color

few private customers with butter. and
while / do not claim that my butter Is as
dark a yellow in the winter as In the
months when the cows are on pasture. vet
1t always has color enough to look Wen
without adding artificial coloring to the
cream. To make yellow butter In the win
ter without artificial aid requires extra care
in making the butter, in feeding the cows
and In selecting the cows. Some cows viii
make a darker tinted butter than Others.
The Jersey cows are perhaps the best for
making yellow butter In the winter and firm
butter during the hot summer months. II
butter color was not used this fact would
add to the value OF Jersey cows.
In feeding TO make yellow butter think
there is nothing better than carrots. With
plenty of clover hay and good corn and
bran, with the right care in handling the
cream, IL is possible TO produce fine butter
in cold weather. / generally have some
blue grass left in the woods pasture in the
fall, and the cattle can get bite when

Soaked Feed for Horses.

1t is often claimed that soaking feed. es-
pecially hard grain, renders 1t more easily
masticated and improves its digestibility,
says bulletin 40, OF the Department OF Ag-
riculture. 1t is doubtful If the matter is as
important with horses with some other
classes of farm animals. 1t has been found
in experimental tests that healthy horses
With good teeth digestsd dry beans and.
corn as well as the same material that
had been soaked In water for twenty-four
hours. Soaking wetting feed may some
times be of Importance as regards the
health Of horses. According TO experience
of English feeder, chaffed straw, which
was fed on account OF the shortage In the
hay crop. gave better results soaked than
when dry. The dry material caused collie
and constipation. 1t was also observed that
the horses relished soaked grain. II Is be-
lieved that the dust In hay causes heaves,
and to avoid such trouble both long and
cut hay, especially clover, Is often Damp
ened before feeding, to lay the dust.
