CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Order passed Directing Policemen No
To Interfere With Tramps Riding

10 interfere win ramps Hlding

Tuesday evening the City Council
held its regular July meeting when
the monthly bills presented for pay
ment were passed and orders issued
for the same.
Recently considera BILE complaint
has reached the town authorities by
reason of the police making arrests of
tramps passing through Oak land ON
freight and passenger trains, thus
placing the county to useless expense
il maintaining them at the jail and
IN transporting those who are unable
or refuse to pay the fines imposed
upon them by the police magistrate
to the House of Correction. The
amount expended during the past
few months for this purpose has been
enormous and it is thought that the
council took the right view of the
matter when an order was passed re-
questing the Mayor to instruct the
police not to make any arrests of
tramps caught on trains hereafter
but to attend to their duties as con-
SENATORS of the peace for the citizens
of the..town and not as protectors of
the rights of the railroad company in
unloading their undesirable and I'M
invited passengers upon the tax pay
ers of the municipality and county.
Il is understood that the Mayor
will issue an order in accordance with
Councils req uest IN the matter.
No other business was transacted.

The Growing Lambs.

A G. Gamley of Manitoba, in an ad-
dress to farmers said: By the time the
lambs are a month old the spring will
have come; and if all has gone well
with the shepherd and his flock, it
ought to be in good shape to COM
mence the summer operations. For
week or two feed them a few oat
sheaves before they go out in the
morning, and the same in the evening
when they come in, also hay in their
racks for night, if they will eat st.
They will eat very nstle hay at this
time, but it helps to keep them up un-
til they get a full bite of grass. From
now till clipping time the shepherd
will have it little easier, and well he
deserves it, for If his flock is a large
one. he will have been hard at work
"a hours day all through the lamb
ing time. Shearing ought to be done
between the middle of May and 1st of
June. Until the wool has grown give
them the run of the pens at night
to protect them from the cold, also
during the day, to protect them from
the sun. Dip ten days after clipping,
and ten days after that again, to kill
the ticks that have hatched since the
first dipping. Weaning time comes
in August or September, according to
the time the lamb was dropped.
The eve lambs may be kept sepa-
rate for a week or ten days, and then
turned in with the flock again, care
having been taken In the interval to
milk the ewes, at least twice in that
time, and the heaviest mixers, as oft
en- as required. The ram lambs, If bred
for the butcher, and to be sold as
lambs, had better be sold as soon as
weaned, as they will fail rapidly if no
special provision has been made for
their care, such as a field of rape or
turnips to run in during the day and
hay and grain at night. Care should
be taken not to allow them in the rape
with an empty stomach until the frost
is of in the morning, and then not too
long at time, until they get accus-
toned to it. At weaving time, and
while the ewes are being handled, it
is wise plan to mark those that are
to be disposed of to the butcher. In
this connection would impress on the
young breeder that the successful
management of the flock, in a great
measure, depends on these things:
First, the choice of a ram; second,
eternal vigilance at lambing time;
and third, culling closely each year.
Don't keep an old eve or those not
typical of the breed; don't be afraid
to weed them out.

Trial Orchards.

A good many trial orchards are be-
ing established in our western states.
and are being planted with all the
different varieties of trees and canes
that bear fruit. Great lessons are be-
ing learned from them. On some OF.
the soils our best and hardest varie-
ties fail, while other and supposedly
weaker varieties do well The strik
ing fact about these orchards is that,
the people living in the locality in,
which they exist do not ss rule get.
very much from them. This is not,
due to any lack in the management
of the orchards, but to the lack OF
enterprise on the part of the people
that are trying to grow fruits in those
localities. The fruit growers of the
states in which trial orchards exist
will find it greatly to their advantage
to make occasional trips to the or.
chards in which varities Of fruits and
cultural methods are being tried. They
viii thus save themselves many costly
mistakes.

More SiIos.

A silO census would be q good
thing, especially if it could be taken
every year; for then it would show
the progress of silo building from
year to year. This would act as
stimulus to those that never do any
thing till they see how much other
people are doing in the same line.
From some of our states come good
reports of new silos going up in all
directions. In Illinois, however, we
hear little about silo building. The
milk condenseries are quite numerous
in this state, and they do not permit
the use of silage by the people that
furnish them milk. 1t Is somewhat
of a surprise to find that the silo is
rapidly invading the Pacific coast re-
gion, where the long grazing season
would seem to make the silo of less
value than in the country east of the
Rockies where the winters are long.
The people that are building them in
the region mentioned say that even
for the holding of alfalfa the silo is
a great conserver of feed, as it saves
all the alfalfa leaves that are lost
by the usual methods of handling cut;
alfalfa The waste with corn fodder
is also done away with in the use OF
silage, as the cattle eat all the silage,
while they leave a very large proper
ton Of corn stalks and other rough
age given them in a dry form. Which
all goes to show that we should build
more silos, so that we can make the
most of the feed we have.-Farmers'

cbiId,s sacoue and kimono.

Loose sacques that can be slipped
on at a moments notice are always
in demand for the wee folk, who must
be kept warm. The little sacque and
kimono illustrated are quite different
in effect, but each serves its purpose
admirably. The sacque is made of
white cashmere with trimming of lace
insertion and frills and the kimono
of pale blue flannel embroidered with
French Knots, but both are suited to
a variety of materials.
The sacque is made with fronts and
back that are gathered and attached
to a shallow yoke. At the neck edge
is a big round collar that falls well

Meat as Seen by the Butcher.


At the last meeting of the Illinois
Live Stock Breeders Association,
held at the Illinois Agricultural col
lege. several hundred people gathered
in the animal judging room to witness
the meat-cutting demonstration. Mr..
Samuel White, Chicago butcher,
made the demonstration. The stand
ard rib roast (including seven ribs) is
the part that is injured most by be-
ing too fat. Much of the tenderloin
used in hotels and restaurants is
taken from Gamers" as the butcher
can't afford to sell the tenderloin
from high-priced meat, as it forms
the best part of the porterhouse In
America the choice cuts sell at a high
price because there is little demand
for the rest of the carcass. Porter
house and sirloin can be bought cheap
er in England than in the United
States because there is a greater de-
mand for the other parts of the car
cass. Chuck brings about cents per
pound in Chicago and 15 cents in Lon
don, while porterhouse brings 25 cents
in Chicago and from Is to 20 cents
per pound in London The American
butcher has to make his profits from
a small part of the carcass, while the
English butcher makes his profits
from all parts of the carcass. Porter
is not generally known in England.

The whole situation is chaotic at pres- sent, and seems to present tevere test of the reclamation project. Some way ont of the difficulty will doubtless be found, for to reason otherwise would be to assume that the American pcop'r have lost their knack We must study the factors, and not be too nasty. have been studyin the treaties and phy- sical facts with the view of keeping my self informed and in position to act in- telligently on the subject.
 That is the view taken by Senator Bard of the complex conditions govern ing the Yuma arid land reclamation project and that of the Imperial Valley both being based on the use of the Colo rado river.
 Senator Bard has just returned from an inspection of the Yuma and the Inn perial Valley regions, in company with Chief Engineer Newell of the Reclama- tion Service and a number of the attaches of the Department of Agriculture. A talk with the Senator developed the in- timation that the serious and complicat- ed questions concerned in the matter would probably embarass the Secretary of the Interior in arriving at a conclu- sion.
 The secretary has the power to deter mine line of action, but in view of the international phases of the matter and of the turbid condition of the law points, it is likely that Congress will be asked to take final action after the secretary has submitted his reports containing findings of facts and recommendations
 The Mexican government has filed a protest against the governments taking the position that the Colorado river is a stream for irrigation purposes rather than for navigation. On the other hand the Mexican government has made a contract with sub-company of the California Development Company per hitting the construction of canal in Mexican territory which shall carry 10000 cubic feet of water, from the Colorado for irrigation purposes, this to be taken from the river on the American side, with another clause permitting the com pany to take an equal amount from the Mexican side, so long as it does mot in jure navigation" Not less than half of the latter provision IS to be used on the American side of the line.
 These combined amounts would mean more than double the average flow of the stream; so if this claim with that given by the State of California to the California Development Company be- comes substantiated by law, there would be no water left for the Yuma project unless it were obtained by storage reser- voirs and taken from the river at the times of highest water. These reser- voirs would in certain instances have to be built in Colorado, and senators from Aa l.. nniA lLnA k... ll
