HOUSEHOLDERS
ARE GIVEN HOPE

According to r J. Porter, chief Chin
ney inspector, hOusehOlders in all parts
Of the city. with the exception of four
congested districts. can secure an in
spection Of 1ues within twentyfour
heurs after application is made, and he
further states that within a week the
work will be Sc arranged that IN
spections can be secured in any part
Of the city without delay. Men have
been detailed TO the congested dis
tricts TO relieve the situation. The in
spector announces that much of the de-
lay has been brought about by people
who report their chimneys in shape
when such is not the case. and others
are delaying matters by asking for an
inspection Of the kitchen fue only,
leaving other lues until later.
The congested districts are Ellis and
Webster streets. Twenty second and
Mission, Eighteenth and Castro and
Haight street and Masonic avenue. In
the first named district seventeen men
were detailed Monday morning out
side Of the regular force. Four were
sent 10 Eighteenth and Castro, seven
10 the Haight street Office and a num-
Der TO the Missien.
There are many difficulties con-
fronting US" said Porter. I'm the frsl
place. the people DO not get their re-
pairs made When they GO they want
the kitchens inspected and those alone
There should be an ordinance forcing
the inspection of every fiue within, say
sixty or ninety days. Much time is
wasted in going to places where the
repairs are not satisfactory and for
which no money is secured, so that the
fee cf 81 a fue does not more than
cover expenses
There are many people who fail to
20 TO the Board of Public Works to pay
for their permits after the inspection
and the cashiers report will not show
the actual amount of work we have
accomplished by SO per cent. At pres
ent we have a force of ESQ men, in
GLIDING inspectors and helpers. Within
& week we will be able TO inspect any
chimney with not more than twenty
four hours notice"

PARTLY BURNED POLE FALLS
OVER WITH LINEMAN ON TOP
Matthew Calvin Comes to Ground Sud-
denly From High Perch and
Is Seriously Injured.

Matthew Calvin, an electrician in
the employ of the Mutual Electrical
yesterday ascended a telegraph pole
which had been partly burned during
the big fire at Sixteenth and Mission
streets while stringing feed wires. The
pole did not show signs of having been
sufficiently damaged to render it weak
until Calvin got on the cresstree. when
1T snapped off a few feet from its base
and fell with him to the ground.
In striking the ground Calvin re-
ceiyed serious injuries about the chest
that may prove fatal. There is also a
deep lacerated wound on the head and
possibly the base of the skull is frac-
tured.

An individual or association

OF the merits or public utility of

placed upon the ballot uuder a

The Nebraska Farmer in a very
thoughtful article, telling us as farm
ers where we are losing money every
day and year, names the scrub sire as
one of the greatest Of these evils and
losses. Farmers who are accustomed
to figure close know this is true, says
Hoard's Dairyman. A dairy farmer
not long since was telling us some Of
his experiences in this line. In the last
twelve years he had purchased pure
bred Holstein bulls to head his herd to
the amount Of $500.
He has sold grade Holstein COWS and
heifers in that time to the number Of
seventy.fve, besides having the benefit
Of the increasing production of his herd
in milk, which, he calculated, was ST.
500. He calculated that his grade ami
mails sold for at least $25 more because
of the pure bred blood that was in
them. His total cattle sales amounted
to $3.50. Twenty dollars apiece on
the seventy-five animals would amount
to $1,000. Add this sum to the in
creased milk value, and we have $4,000
as the direct result of buying pure bred
bulls instead Of grades.

BEST DAIRY BREEDS.
A Question often Asked, but Difficult
to Answer.

4 Question Often Asked, but Dif1cti1S
to Answer.
What dairy breed of cows shall
choose? This is a question that is SO
often asked and, in way, never an
swered, for it is impossible for any one
to state what breed of cattle is the best
for some other man to choose, says
Hoard's Dairyman. There is a personal
factor which enters into the choosing
Of all classes of things, cattle not ex-
eeDted.
There are four distinct dairy breeds
Of cattIe-uameIy, the Holstein, Jersey,
Guernsey and Ayrshire-and good cows
ran be selected from any of these
breeds. 1t should be borne in mind
that it is not alone the breed that
makes good dairy cows, but judicious
selection and breeding of the individual
animals are equally necessary. In other
words, the pure breds must be selected
and culled if a strong, vigorous, large
producing and profitable herd is to be
maintained and developed. 1t is not
enough to say that an animal is pure
bred, but it is. quite as important to add
what she is capable of doing.
Each dairy breed of cattle has it's pc
cuIiar characteristics, and before per-
son chooses any one OF the breeds he
should study the temperament, Cisposi-
ton and chief characteristics of each
one. There are very few men who have
studied carefully the different traits Of
the dairy breeds who have not formed
a personal preference, and in most
cases would not be satisfied with any
of the other breeds, because their tenn
peraments do not harmonize with his.
The selection of breed must therefore
be left entirely to the individual, and it
is our suggestion that our correspond
ent study carefully each breed before
any one is selected.
1t would be difficult task, If not i'm
possible, for US to write in detail the
characteristics of the dairy breeds, so
that a person could decide from read
ing the description of each which breed
be. would prefer. We can say, however,
that the Holsteins are noted for their
large flow Of milk, which is moderately
rich in fat; the Jerseys and Guernseys
for a medium flow of milk, which is
rich in fat, and the Ayrshires standing
between the Holstein and Jersey and
Guernsey, giving not as large flow of
milk as the Holstein and not as rich as
the Jersey or Guernsey.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

We note that in various parts
of the state the political caldron
is beginning to boil. This is a
sure Indication that along about
June next somebody is going to
get scalded. Another thing
worthy of consideration is the
fact that it is about time to hear
that candidate so-and-so is q
sheep thief.
We are on the eve Of a season
certain to be fruitful OF educa-
tional speeches; a time when
many men will address US with
out knowing exactly what they
are talking about-some Of them.
For many Of US it is all very fun
NJ. but for the earnest aspirant
for Office it is a most serious
proposition. The thing for the
laynlan to do is to treat the
various candidates as courteously
as possible-his position is not
an enviable one Bear in mind
at all times that it is no crime to
run>for office. According to our
system of government officers
are q necessity and it is the duty
of the people to do their honest
best to select good naon for the
places.

Bedding For Cows.

The merits of different bedding mate
rials were tested quite thoroughly at
the Maryland station last winter. It
was found that the cheapest material
was sawdust at 25 cents per load,
allowing also so cents for hauling.
About twelve pounds Of sawdust per
COW were needed when the cows We're
kept in the stable all the time. The
best absorbing material was wood
shavings, which, however, cost $6 per
ton, making the cost per year $4.S1 per
cow. Good stover as bedding cost So. .65
per cow, requiring four pounds day,
and uncut wheat straw required five
pounds day and cost 81 Is per year at
$5 per ton. The conclusion is that
wherever sawdust can be obtained
within a reasonable distance it will be
the cheapest material. It kept the cows
cleaner than anything else and stayed
In place better. The only objection
was that it carried so much moisture
as to make it a little damp.

Feeding the Milk Makers

4 question which naturally arises is
why will a COW give more milk when
allowed to eat grass in a pasture than
when this same grass is cut and fed
in the stall? From our work it would
seem that this is so, says Professor
Doane of the Maryland experiment sta
ton. Two variations occur in the two
different ways of feeding. In one the
cow usually receives all her forage in
two feeds per day; in the other she
may put in a large share Of the day
gathering her feed. In one case the
feed may be slightly wilted, while in
the other it is, of course, eaten perfect
ly fresh. 1t is hard to see, however,
how either of these would materially
affect the milk There seems to be
chance for some experimental work for
determining the best method of feeding
soiling crops. There might be chance
for improving the custom Of feeding
twice a day only.
Good Feeding Pays.
A half starved cow is never profit
able. Get good COWS and feed well and
the results will always be satisfactory.
Feed For the Dry Cow.
Bran is the safest feed that goes
down cows throat; hay and bran
when she is dry. In ten days or two
weeks before calving she ought to be-
gin to make a bag. L she does not on
four to six quarts Of bran and all the
hay she can eat and her bowels are
right, commence to give her a handful
of cake meal; increase it to two hand
fuls and on up to q pint if necessary.
At every feed keep your eye on the
COW and her udder. 1t should not be
a big, red, inflamed, ulcerous looking
thing, as hard as a brick and out Of
shape, but splendid pendent recepta-
Gle for milk, dignified for maternity

Pumpkins For MIX.
Give the cows plenty Of pumpkins.
If fed with grain ration they will in
crease the milk flow.-Farmers Advo-
cate
Cottonseed Meal.
If you have been in the habit of feed
ing the COWS cornmeal or corn and cob
meal as the grain ration during the
winter season, get some cottonseed
meal and substitute one pint for like
amount of the cornmeal. Gradually
come up to one quart of the cottonseed
meal, leaving out a like amount Of
cornmeaI, and note results. If the
COWS milk is not doubled, am mistak-
en-, says A. J. Legg in Farm Journal.
A Milk Ration.
A ration composed Of twenty pounds
clover and timothy hay, three pounds
each corn and cob meal and bran and
a pound cottonseed meal would proba-
bly, suffice when fed to a good dairy
cow to produce twenty to twenty-five
pounds of 4 per cent milk.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

TRAMP GOT SILVER DoLLtR
Story Told b n Indiana Legislator
Relating to School Days as a
Military Cadet.


Representative Branch, of the
Indiana legislature, tells this in
the Indianapolis Star: While at
tending as a cadet at the military
school Branch was in the habit OF
taking strolls through the neigh
borhoods, and on one of these he
says: 81 was touched by an old
fellow, whose tale of hard luck
would have melted a stone.
"'But, my good fellow l said.
4 haven't a cent with me this
morning. I spent my last penny
last night and my check from
home won't reach me until to-
morrow
"The old man wasn't satisfied.
"Look through your pockets
he begged, maybe you'll find some
thing
"'Well, if I've got any money in
these clothes you can have every
cent of it, l said to him, and l be-
gan turning my pockets inside out
to show him that l was strapped;
"Well, would you believe it,
silver dollar dropped out of one OF
my pockets and rolled on the side
walk.
"Delighted, the old man quick
ly grabbed it up and said:
Thanks
"He was much bigger than I and
/ said: Certainly; / am glad l
can help you, but really I didn't
know it was there
"All the way back to school l
wondered how the dollar came to
be in my trousers"
"And did you ever find out?'
asked another legislator.
ooh, yes; when l got back to my
room my roommate told me that l
was wearing his pants"
