A proposition was submitted to-
the directors of the Merchants
Association last night from firm
from a nearby city who want to
organize a company to manufac-
ture "a new brick made principally
out of sand. 1t, is said to be a
growing industry, ana if the de-
tails can be agreed upon it is pos
sible that we will have a plant
here.
Notice of sealed proposals ap-
pears in the Review to-day stating
that bids will be received until
the 10th day of July for the grad
ing, curbing and paving Of por-
lions of Washington, Chestnut
and Jackson streets, and the lay
ing of 700 feet of sanitary sewer.
Also 200 feet of 16 inch storm
sewer. The streets in question
are situated on Mccoy Heights.
Are we saved now? Mrs. NJ.
Neill will answer the question in
the City hall tonight at 8 o'clock.
She will discuss such points as:
Do we need saving? What do we
need to be saved from? For
what purpose should we be saved ?
AS this and tomorrow evenings
will be our last meetings for the

Bees In the Orchard.

NJ. J. Wragg. the Des Moines QaD
nurseryman. has great faith in the
honey bee as an insecticide. he trusts
to it rather than spraying. In recent
article he says:
at is a question whether or not
a sufficient quantity Of honey bees to
visit the orchard blossoms will do more
good and be the means Of producing
more fruit than spraying the trees In
the ordinary manner, as carried, out
even on most systematic and scientific
plans. We are inclined to favor the
bees, and for our part have given the
Job into their hands entirely. While
spraying in the proper season does not
conflict with the work Of the bees on
fruit blossoms, yet some people are
foolish enough to spray their fruit
trees when in full bloom, thus defeat
ing the very object they desire to OBJ
tain.

WOlIEN'S VOICES.

A Phil0delphian who has been back
q week or 50 from an extensive tour
of Europe concludes that American
women, as seen in the general view in
street and shop, are all right to look
at, "but," he says. Il never knew how
bad they were to listen to until l came
back and heard their voices, high
pitched and with n nasal twang that
seems excessive after a summers re-
spite. l really think it must be worse
than when l left, and if there are any
statistics on the subject, l would be
willing to bet on it. To me it is now
so noticeable that l wonder every time
when l see that other people do not
seem to hear it. OF course, you can
get used to anything, but when l do
find a woman now whose speech is of
the low, full-voiced kind You hear in
Europe, it acts like positive rest for
the ear. They say, believe, that the
feminine nasal squeak is worse in the
country than in the city, but / don't
see how that could be possible. Physi-
cal culture will never fulfill its func-
tons completely till it does away with
the hight pitched voice. e.'-Philadelphia

No two men exactly agree as to
what constitutes perfect hog. DIFF
ferent men (mon Of equal ability} will
pick out different hogs as the winners.
This is due of. their different ideas
as to type and to perfection write
Meisser Bros, in Farmers Advocate.
Let us see what are the requirements
of perfect hog. They are size, bone,
quality, color, markings, hair, head,
ear, symmetry, style, beauty, evenness
and dozen smaller requirements in
an ideal hog The crucial test. and the
one requirement in an ideal hog, is,
will he make the most pork out Of the
least amount of feed? All the former
go to please the eye, the latter is to
fill the pocketbook. If need be, we
could dispense with all the former,
but the latter is the life Of the bust
ness.

breeder is, do not forget the par

the most gain from the feed fed. Feed
is high and will go higher as the
years pass on. 1t will be only with the
utmost care and closest selection that
we will be able to raise the eXcellency
of efficiency that has been attained in
the last 25 years. We can scarcely
hope to accomplish as much in the
next 25 years; still there is plenty of
room left.
You may wonder what type l con-
slider the nearest perfect. 1t certainly
can be no other than the medium hog.
Extremes are always bad, be they in
character, climate, weather or in
stock. Extremes are bound to be un-
popular. The short and shuffy hog
may not waste much feed, but he is
sluggish, weighs little and would ex-
terminate the breed if continuously
used for breeding purposes. The long,
lean and gaunt hog, in my opinion, is
poor and wasteful feeder, requir-
ing too long a time to market. To
my knowledge the state has not ex-
perimented along this line. These
would be valuable tests.

RESTING A GOWN,

talkative girl. MY gowns need pos

utterly bored and tagged looking, worn

evening, until it looks rather shabby
to me; yet if carefully lay it out in
tissue paper and put it to rest in my
box couch for several weeks, il comes
out all new to me again, and positively
scintillates with stored crispness."
Women take lot better care of their
evening gowns than those in which
they are seen daily. Isn't it strange
how many women will wear a tailor
made day after day, every time they
go out, yet never think of having it
pressed? Yet q man always has the
suit he isn't wearing in the hands Of
the tailor, being cleaned and pressed.
Women's tailor mades are good deal
like mems clothes nowadays; that is,
in the cloths of which they are made.
They are almost as liable to being
kneed or wrinkled; and there's nothing
freshens a gown like a good brushing
and pressing.

The COVERING of Silaue,

When silage is to stand any length
Of time before feeding begins, it is i'm
portant that its surface should be pro
tected from the air. Green marsh
grass or clover makes a good cover
ing. Oat straw, or a portion of the
silage itself, may be used if nothing
cheaper can be had. After the silo
is filled it should be tramped thorough
ly every two or three days for at least
week. The object of the repeated
trampings is to overcome the tendency
of the silage to adhere to the walls
in settling, and thus leave it loose
and open so that air can get in.
1t is important to have a man in
the silo during the whole period of
filling, in order to keep the silage well
scattered and the surface level and
we'll tramped around the walls. Ev-
erything considered, 1t has been found
that slow filling of the silo, such as
will require a week or ten days or
even longer, not only allows more feed
to be stored in it, but also insures bet
ter silage than when hurried in three
or four days. Time is required for the
silage to settle and to expel the en-
tangled air by heating and by the set
ting free of carbonic acid. This getting
rid of the air favors smaller losses
and sweeter silage.
If the silage is rather ripe and dry
when cut it is advisable to wet the
top with water when the silo is full
at the rate of about two gallons per
square foot of surface. The object Of
this water is to restore that which is
lost by evaporation due to heating
and to quickly develop a thin, we'll
rotted, very wet layer on the surface
which then forms a nearly air-tlght
cover.
In the construction of silos it is very
important to have the horizontal di-
mensions such that the rate of feeding
shall be rapid enough to permit no
moulding on the exposed surface.
Slight traces of mould have been
observed in silage when being fed at
the rate of IL inches per day, and
llllS NOulu llulNdIS JIdb II o.iOuiu nv
be fed slower than this daily. Each
two inches of corn silage will weigh
on the average rs pounds per square
foot, and on this basis the proper sur
face area would be placed at five
square feet per COW. 1t is quite pos
sible that this feeding area may be en-
larged somewhat, but it is a serious
mistake to make it so large that there
is danger of there being spoiled silage
on the surface which must be shoveled
aside every time the silage is taken out.
The best plan is to have the silo as
deep as possible and the diameter re-
latively small. This construction will
give the largest capacity for a given
size, because the silage will have a
greater depth in which to settle and
will be more compact.-Prof. F. w.
Taylor, in the Massachusetts, Plough
man.

THE FASHIONABLE FLOWER.

The fashion in flowers has turned
toward poinsettias. This large. red,
barbaric blossom makes a brilliant
note of color for the winter decora-
ton. 1t is seen on half the well ap-
pointed tables of this season. The
flowers are often arranged with ferns
in huge white and gold basket for
the centre of the table. These baskets
are immensely popular. They come in
every shade Of straw, They are square,
round. empire and boat shape. When
there is a handle it is twisted with
tulle or simply tied with a huge
bow of satin ribbon in the centre. EX-
cept at very ceremonious dinners, this
basket of flowers is preferred to any
Nentrepiece. The wide, openmouthed
French ones, gilded, are especially at
tractive. They must be heaped with
flowers carelessly put into moss.
Another fashionable centrepiece for
the table is huge transparent French
bowl, filed with the most viyidly col
ored fruit. Through the fruit are
masses of red or yellow flowers. Holly
is especially used because Of its col
oring. This bowl is mounted on a
wreath of asparagus vines.

that winter is here. The coming of the

some extent undoubtedly responsible

Poultry Notes,

The dust heap is absolutely neces-
sary for fowls.
Feather pulling is vice that comes
from confinement and idleness.
Allow no filth of any kind to accumu-
late within reach of the fowls.
Thoroughness in detail in poultry
raising is the great secret of success.
Common fowls do not possess the
characteristic qualities of thorough
brads.
When fowls are permitted to roost
in foul, damp houses it causes droop-
ishness.
Fowls will eat a great deal of granu
lated charcoal. AS preventive of
disease it is invaluable.
BY giving young fowls free range
it will aid materially to develop a
strong, healthy constitution.
1t is easier to keep fowls in a good
condition now than to allow them to
run down and then build up again.
Poultry should always have access
to green food when possible, and when
they can not it should be supplied.
Corn, when fed to the hens by itself,
has a tendency to fatten rather than
produce the most profitable egg lay
ing.
Tarred paper is better than almost
any other material for lining the in
side Of coops and houses. 1t is also
excellent for driving away lice.
The only sure and safe way to keep
large fiocks, whether young or old, is
to separate them into small lots, each
one to occupy a place for itself.
The distinguishing characteristics
of the Sylesbury breed of ducks are
their fecundity and early Maturity

that it has become less drudgery in
many instances than a species of do
mestic engineering on a small scale;
