he 60 etthet esle regular weekly feet
The board Of finance would have
to Be postponed on account of lack
of quorum, the same as last week.
AT that time the only members present
were Mayor Studley, Controller Rowe,
Alderman Holman and Henry Herr One
more member was necessary and short
IN Afterwards Attorney O'Meara arrived
on the scene and saved the day. All
the bills and the regular weekly pay
roll were first signed after which the
other matters were taken up.
IA communication was received from
the board Of education asking the board
Of finance to provide money for the
pay of a special inspector for the new
Scranton street school, which is to be
erected in the Webster district, in ac-
cordance with a recent vote of the
board of aldermen. The members of the
finance board thought that the idea
was good one but the dig came as to
where to get the money. Finally after
deep thought Controller Rowe thought
that the necessary sheckles could be
raised. and after this it was easy.
Mr.. Herr made a motion to the effect
that the board of education be given
permission to draw on the contingent
fund in the sundry account a sum not
to exceed $640 for this purpose. This
will guarantee as much as S. a day up
to the end Of the year, December 81,
should the board of education desire to
pay an inspector as much as this, al
though it is probable that one can be
hired for sum much less than this.
N-This motion was carried.
controller Rowe stated that owing to
a little mistake in the wording of a
vote taken on April 81 he thought that
the vote should be rescinded and it was
rescinded. The vote was THAT the
park department be authorized to
draw $1,000 from the contingent fund"
The following motion was then passed
to take its place: "That the sum of
$1,000 be transferred from the cintin-
gent fund In sundry accounts to- play
grounds in public parks and that the
park commissioners be authorized to
draw this sum for this purpose"
An official notification was received
by the board as to the recent English
gift of park land. The notification
was received and placed on file until
such time that the city have the neces-
sary $4,000 to give in accordance with
the provisions of the gift. 1t may not
be until next years estimates are made
up but the finance board is in hopes
that the sum may be found before then.
The matter of money for new boil
err in the police building did not come
up at this meeting.

FORMALDEHYDE IN MILK.
French Chemists Discover Certain
Method of Detecting It's
Presence,

When men began to use preserva.
tives in milk, they used various sub.
stances that could be easily detected
by the chemists, Repressive laws,
however made II difficult to use some
of these preservatives, and the manu-
facturers of preservatives set their
chemists at work to find some sub
stance that could not be detected by
other chemists. They hit upon forma-
lin. or formaldehyde, the latter being
a combination of formalin and water.
For long time the chemists were un.
able to detect this in the milk, as no
means was known of showing the for
malin. But by large number of ex-
periments things were at last discov-
cred that would show the presence OF
formalin The French have Just hit
upon new way OF detecting II at once
and without any question, says the

HINTS FOR COW STABLE.
No Objection to Storing Hay in the
Loft If the Flooring Be
Tight.

There Is often a doubt In the minds
OF some dairymen whether a room over
which hay is stored can be safely used
for sanitary milk production, says H
e. Cook, of New York. This sentiment
is no doubt based upon the loose cell
ing Of former years from which chaff
and dirt were constantly falling. It
can have no foundation In fact, when
the stable ceiling is constructed as
herein described. In our northern lati-
tudes, living rooms for cows should
not be over eight and one-half to nine
Feet from floor to ceiling. We are there
fore compelled to build a floor between
the animals and the roof. Why not
use This loft for storage, whether IL be
nigh or lowp A track with car can be
placed In the ridge of this loft.
where 1t is not convenient to drive
ABOVE, and hay can be filled in easily
and cheaply II the ceiling is perfectly
tight, as II should be, there can be no
objection to storing hay or straw above
the stable. Only few of the certified
dairies have hay in a separate building:
the dust Of hay is, of course, the chief
objection. II the hay could be thrown
down into a narrow room separated
from the COW stable by partition. there
can be no good objection to this arrange
ment.
When the building Is narrow, or when
1t Is not considered advisable to drive
into the cowroom for manure. the mod.
ern track and carrier are convenient and
servicesble; use one that is easily and
quickly raised and lowered for filling.
1t shoule also be high enough from the
ground when run out of doors to dump
into wagon and thereby save one
handling OF the manure. Il should be
said that many dairymen prefer this ar
rangement because considerable dirt is
unavoidably brought into the stable
when the manure is collected with a
team. In my personal experience this
objection Is more than offset by the con-
venience OF the method. Convenience in
feeding makes It essential that the
granary, silo and root storage should
be at the most readily accessible point.
and stock can be cared for more quick
iy and more cheaply IL all the working
parts OF the building are in the ground
hoor' such construction might en-
taii more barn roof, but the ex-
ira expense of this would be fully offset
by the lessened labor in caring for the

Quack grass. says Bulletin Editor
VIII III. Cgilvie, has been both con-
demned and commended at various
times by agricultural writer's. Prof.
Lamson-Scribner, in his book on
Grasses of Tennessee" says
"In some parts OF the eastern and
middle states 1t is abundant in open
fields. II is good grass for hay. but
It's strong creeping rootstocks, which
spread rapidly in all directions. render
II one of the worst weeds in cultivated
lands, hardly less difficult to eradicate
than Johnson grass"
The bulletin quotes a Fayette county,
Iowa, farmer on best means OF exter-
minating quack grass. While 1t is late
for this season, II is hardly less sug-
gestive. The farmer says:
"Plow the ground very shallow early
In the spring. then harrow until per-
fectly level, let It lie until about the
25th Of June. when the quack grass and
other weeds will have reached a large
growth. Take three good horses and n
16-inch walking plow, and turn the
ground over. plowing as deep as possi-
BILE. using heavy log chain attached TO
plow and whiffletree to pull the growth
OF vegetation into the furrow, so that
1t will be completely covered. Sew
with buckwheat and harrow lightly
with slanting-tooth drag; harrow
around the field in the same direction
In which IL was plowed so as not to
uncover any OF the vegetation that has
been turned under or bring any of the
quack grass roots to the surface. II
the above treatment OF ground that 10
infested with quack grass Is carried out
little II any OF the weed will be left,
and the crop of buckwheat will more
than pay for the trouble"
Touching upon a similar line Prof.
Pammel is quoted as follows:
"The grass can be exterminated by
proper methods OF culture and treat.
ment For the determination OF quack
grass the field should he plowed, tie
rootstocks exposed to the sun by Civ.
ing the field thorough narrowing. re-
moved and burned. We should also re-
member that every severed rootstock
of quack grass will give rise to q new
plant, hence the Importance of having
these removed and the Importance Of
preventing the leaves from appearing.
as the latter furnish sustenance to the
plant. This process OF removal must
be continued as long as quack grass
appears. Various chemical substances
have been recommended for Its exter.
minatIon. but 80 far as I know. none of
these are as successful as the hoe and
