as decided that the league meet
nth the Board of Mayor and Alder
en- Monday night.
Ghis meeting was held as per
eeement and the question OF
6shlng and renewing the char
generally discussed. Mayor
lker said that the new order OF
li1gs would largely affect the city
Aances. The expenditures were
ID upon the basis of the present
Venue and the saloons were yield
hg yearly 81, $40 to the city treas
ury. However he favored temper
ance legislation and was sure that
could be made to meet
gthe demands upon the city excheq-
her without increasing the taxes.
He said as far as he was concerned,
fthat the taxes should not be raised;
in fact be would resign If such
step was taken; that the rate was
as high as it had ever been and as
high as it should be. But there
would be no necessity for such an IN
crease. The members Of the league
expressed themselves as favorlng
reappointment of the present Board
as a whole under the new charter,
with no change of officers.
The Board then retired and the
league entered into session. The
first business was to appoint Mr..
Waddell and the city attorneys a
committee to draft and amend the
city charter,which will be practically
an adoption of the old charter,
The committee upon petitions
was then constituted as follows:

After mapping the routes the meet
ing adjourned.
Since that time the city has been
thoroughly canvassed and about
400 signatures secured, only small
per cent of voters declining to sign,
for different reasons.
Mrs. Preston was also chairman
of the ladies' committee.
There is also petition for color

Gambling Devices Burned.

"A lot gambling devices, by which
numbers of people at Fulton were
victimized. during the street fair
last spring, were burned Saturday
evening By Sheriff Chiles by order
of Judge r. e. Maiden. The stuff
was the property of Norman Beich-
Ter, who was given eight years for
robbery. Before destroying the
gamblers tools, they were curious
" inspected by the sheriff and
Judge. A kind Of nickel-in-the-slot
machine proved to be a perfect
bonanza for its owner. The nickel
dropped into different compart-
nents, some Of which were blanks
while Others called for one. two,
Eve and ten dollars, etc. But on
either side of the table was a brass
ornament about the size of half
dollar, and by resting his hand on
this, an innocent looking ornament,
by the slightest pressure threw the
nickel into blank, or elsewhere

SEASONABLE HOG NOTES.
Small hog houses are best.

Small hog houses are best
See that the hogs have good shade.
Have the sows In a gaining position
when bred.
A hungry pig takes readily to any food
that 1t Is expected that pig will eat.
While q hog never gets too thin to be
lousy, II seems the thinner the blood the
better the lice thrive.
Toa considerable extent the young SOW
proves her future ability by the way she
manages her first litter.
Build up the frame Of the shoat on
clover, bran, shorts and like foods and
finish for market on corn.
One advantage In having shallow
troughs for feeding Is that the sows will
learn to eat much younger.
Always breed from a thoroughbred
boar Of good constitution and vigor, His
vigor should be In excess OF the sows.
Overlooking OF sows, musty grain, sour
swill, or sudden changes Of food will
cause diarrhoea among the pigs.
The pig that ~ to be marketed profit
ably at from six to eight months old must
not from any cause be allowed to stop

cause it has no corners.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT RAIN.
One Catches Less Water by Walking
Than Running in a DownpOur-
A Possible Explanation.

do you know" said the observant
citizen, according to the Philadelphia
Press, the habit of running through
the rain is based on definite fallacy?
1t is common habit. But does 1t tend
to minimize the amount Of water fall
ing on a person exposed to the rain?
am convinced that 1t rather aggra-
Yates the situation. BY experience, in
passing the distance of block. run
ming one time and walking the other
and at times when the rainfall was
about the same, l found that my
clothes picked up more water and were
consequently damper when | covered
the distance in lun than they were
when | walked it.
"There seems to be good reason
for the rather curious fact. Rain falls
irregularly. Sometimes there is q
space of five or six inches between the
falling drops, as we have noticed on
smooth surfaces, like stone tagging,
and again only the fraction of an inch
will separate the drops. Water Oc-
caslorally falls In sheets, but this is
not usual But while the fall is irreg-
ular, considered with respect to the
perpendicular lines described in the
descent, looking straight ahead and
through the lines we will find before us
sheet of water that is well-nigh solid
We can understand that running
against this sheet Of water will have
very much the same effect wind would
have if its direction forced the rain
into orr faces We simply pick I'D the
water and the fact that the spaces be-
tween the drops perpendicularlv con-
sidered are greater than the spaces in
any given direction horizontally will
explain to lis the fallacy of the whole
thing"

FEEDING NEW CORN.
Too Free Use of the Crop In an Imma-
ture Condition Is Sure to
Breed Disease.

The late condition of the corn crop last
year resulting in so much of it being soft
and not in condition to keep doubtless
will cause many to be very short OF old
corn this year. Such condition fosters
the heavy feeding OF very new corn. we
wish to caution against too free use OF
the new crop in an immature condition,
or for that matter after It gets fairly well
ripened up. AS all during this time it Is
very palatable and contains sufficient
moisture to make It very easily con-
sumed, the tendency Is for an animal to
overeat. This is especially true OF the
hog, whose ration usually consists more
largely of concentrates than is the case
with other animals The present price
Of corn will doubtless have very bene-
fetal effect In this direction, 1t Will be
much easier to allowance the hog than
Il would be II corn were low in price
This relatively high price OF corn will
also simplify the problem by lessening
the objection to The purchase OF substi-
tute feeds to use as part OF the ration.
Feed the aew corn quite sparingly at
first. II necessary to begin while 1t is In
the milk, or even in the dough stage, 1t is
good plan to feed the whole plant and
let them eat what they will Of the fodder.
Then increase the feed gradually and be
careful to never overfeed, and we believe
you will have gone long way toward
preventing an outbreak Of disease In the
herd.-Prairie Farmer

CORN FOR THE CALVES.
After Fifteen Years of Experience
Writer Declares 1t to BE the
Very Best Food.

My experience in raising calves ex-
tends over fifteen years. OF course,
everyone knows how to feed calves,
but many do not know Just what Is
best to feed Ask me, and | will say
"shelled corn" When do you begin?"
I begin when the calf is three days old.
Feed it just few kernels at first and
gradually increase to pint by the time
the calf Is six weeks old. They chew
It all up. | never knew calf to pass
a whole grain. | never feed q calf
more than two quarts of milk at a
feeding II am raising calves for
mixers do not feed them enough to
make them fat. I have experimental
with all manner Of ground foods, but
none of them equal shelled corn. My
calves hair Is sleek and glossy; they
are growing rapidly: they run and
frisk about and are always ready to
eat corn. My neighbor, who persists
in feeding his calves all the milk they
can drink, besides couple OF quarts OF
ground feed, has funny looking calves
They arc little, pot-gutted things; hair
standing on end. They have the scours
nearly all the time; lie around half
asleep ! wouldn't trade one of mine
for a dozen of his In short, II you
you want poor. worthless animals feed
them something else.-I. H. Watt, in

emptying the box OF its contents The
lever must be hung so that the resist
ence will come beneath the points OF

II 1t Is not thought worth while to con-
