SLUSH ON CROSSINGS
ENDANGER MANY LIVES
Thaw of Yesterday Floods Streets
with Mud and Snow-City Ord
nance Still Violated.
OFFICERS SLOW TO ACT

1.-THE work that the Journal has done IN
calling the attention of people to the ordi-
nance requiring the cleaning of snow from
sidewalks" said Street Commissioner Her
pick yesterday afternoon, has, l believe,
done good. In driving about the city to-day
L noticed a number of property owners
cleaning the snow from their walks, and
some of them were even picking the ice
away with shovels and axes. L believe the
effect of the Journals work will be seen
after the next snowfall. l don't think peo-
pie will neglect cleaning the snow from
their walks as they did this time"
With the thaw of yesterday. the neglect
of the citys streets by those who are sup
posed TO have their cleaning in charge was
apparent much more than even when they
were coated with snow and ice. Mud and
slush at crossings was disagreeable as
the ice had been dangerous.

to be moistened and crumbly, adding two
tablespoonfuls Of salt.
L am feeding this every morning, and
yet the fowls, old and young will select
out the soft oats first every time, but 1 do
not use the chaffy, light oats that we often
find on the market, but buy the heaviest
clean oats 1 can buy, and it would do you
good to see what bone and frame grow
from this ration, with wheat and corn for
noon and evening feed. L believe ii is con-
coded by all other breeders that oats in
some form is the best possible feed TO de-
velop the colt calf, lamb or pig, but these
all have grinders, in feeding oats to
poultry, to get the best results they must
be soaked or boiled. and if, in addition TO
this, liberal amount of good grit is fur
nished, you will find oats an ideal feed as
a bone and flesh former and also an ex-
cellent egg producer. Try them as L have
described and see If your fowls do not soon
learn To love them.
