BOYLE HEIGHTS
IN LIVELY WAR
PROPERTY OWNERS WRANGLE
ABOUT ASSESSMENT
FUND RAISED TO FIGHT ACTION
OF CITY COUNCIL
Champions of Proposed Improvement
Fail to Appear at Mass Meeting
and Opponents Have Things
Their Own Way

Property owners of East Fourth
street held another protest meeting in
the Catholic hall at Breed and East
Fourth streets last night and raised
500 as q starter toward fund TO ne
used for legal action, If necessary, TO
force the city council to increase the
size of the assessment district which
it is now purposed shall pay the cost
of opening up Fourth street by divert
ing 1t into Third street at what former
ly was Short street, but which was re-
named Fourth street." 1t is claimed,
at the suggestion of Uncle Billy"
Workman.
The meeting passed off very quietly
last night. as none of the champions of
the Improvement" was present. The
subject was thoroughly threshed out.
and the sentiment of all present seemed
much divided. DR.. Nestor A. Young
presided, and by many witticisms kept
every one in good humor. Attorney
Oliver o. Clark, retained by the East
Fourth street people to represent them
in the fight against the heavy assess
ment, also was present, but refused to
outline his policy, or state what the
next step would be, because, he said,
"there was reporter in the room and
things could be done a whole lot better

Would Enlarge District
A number of property holders MAIN
tanned that the assessment district
should be enlarged to include all who
would be benefited by the improvement,
which would mean, they said, the prop
erty holders on Fifth and Third streets
1t was maintained by many others
that the conversion of Fourth into
Third street at Short street would not
benefit the Boyle Heights people and
that 1t would mean the destruction of
buildings valued at over $145,000. At
Short street alone it was said $4,000
worth of property would have to be
removed.
On the other hand. it was claimed
the opening of East Fourth street at
Vincent street, it's present terminus on
the East Side, at which is located the
Bekins Van and storage company ware
house, would involve much less dam
age and be decided Improvement in
that it would give Boyle Heights a
direct avenue to the heart of the city.
There We're many who opposed both
propositions, however, and no definite
action was taken beyond the raising of
the $100 as a starter for what is prom
Used will be a much larger sum.

Fattening Calves for Veal.

AS result of some London expert,
ments it was decided that about a
month is as long as it is advisable
to feed calves on whole milk on a
dairy farm, or until they have reached
about 160 pounds live weight. or 9G
pounds of veal. This weight may be
attained in a month, provided the
calves are fattened as quickly as pos.
sible, but one cannot expect to do it
unless the calves are fed three times
a day. An effort should also be made
to have the calves fat at the time

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as if
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

MAKE 1T GRADUAL.
Changing from Whole to skim Milk
in Feeding the Calf.

The change from whole to skim milk
in feeding the calf should be made
by Withholding a small amount of milk
the first day, more the second, and so
on. The amount withheld is thus grad
ually increased from day to day. An
amount of skim milk must be added,
at least equal in quantity of new milk
withheld, until the change has been
completed.
Some substance should be added as
soon as the change begins that will
supply an equivalent in the fat con-
tanned in the new milk withheld. No
substance has been found superior for
such use to linseed meal, that is,
ground fiaXseed. Oil meal will answer
the same purpose, and is far more
frequently fed than ground flax, for
the reason probably that it is relative
ly cheaper When the latter is used
1t is necessary to feed larger guam
tity than the former
III some instances the meal thus
added is stirred in the milk. hut in
other instances, as when the calves
have learned to take meal before the
change from new to skim milk has
begun, it is simply added to the meal.
Sometimes the faXseed is made into
a jelly, and this fed along with the
milk.
This practice was common years
ago, but it is not so much practiced
now, since separator milk has come to
be so extensively available. The
jelly was usually warmed before it
was put into the milk, and this helped
to warm the latter when cold. The
amount to be fed may be regulated for
a time, at least. by the influence that
the meal or the jelly exercise on the
digestion. If too much is fed the di
gestion will be unduly lax. - Prof
Thomas Shaw.

SHORT DAIRY TALKS.

A money-making combination is the
warm skim milk.
Avoid feeding hay or dusty rough
age just previous to milking. There
is too much dust to drop into the milk
pail.
Dairying is a ready money business,
and no other branch of live stock
keeping can compare with it for en-
riching the farm.
Three common faults in butter max.
ing are over-ripe cream, over-churning
and over-working. The first means
strong butter, the second and third
soft butter
One New York dairyman sells his
milk for seven cents per quart the
year round, and with good Jersey and
Holstein COWS his herd produces on an
average of SIS worth of milk per
month. 1t requires So pounds out of
every 100 pounds to pay expenses
The Jersey COW is highly devel-
oped milk-making machine. She has
been bred so long for this purpose
that her characteristics have become
fixed, and the descendants of a we'll
bred dairy COW can be depended upon
The amount of milk that she will
make depends largely on the amount
of food that you can get her to use.

WHY THE cows FELL OFF.
Hired Mans Boot and Sharp Fork
Quickly Reduced Milk Yield.

A farmer of my town owns a herd
of Is fine dairy COWS, of which he is
justly proud, and he treats them with
great care and consideration. for
which he is amply repaid by an abun-
dant flow of the richest milk.
He was taken very Ill last summer,
and a man was hired to take care of
the COWS for month. At the end of
that time the owner was able to go
to the barn and make call on his ia
vorites.
He was very much annoyed to see
that they had grown poor and that
their hair was ruffed up as though
they had not been we'll fed or cared
for. He questioned the man, who as
sured him that the COWS had been fed
and MIXED regularly, and he knew no
reason for the change except on ac-
count of flies.
The farmer went to the house and
told his wife about it. She said that
there had not been so much milk late
ly, but that she had said nothing for
fear of worrying him.
The farmer made up his mind that
something was wrong, goes on this
writer in the Farm Journal and de-
termined TO find out what it was. Ac-
cordingly he followed the man to the
barn the next morning, and, hiding
himself where he could see, without
being seen, watched the proceedings.
First, the COWS We're fed, and he
noticed that they were given their
full allowance. Then the man took up
the fork and began scraping the drop
pings into the box.
Immediately the first COW in the
row stopped eating and stood switch
ing her tail nervously from side to
side, as though expecting something
to happen. And something did, right
off, for the next moment the tines of
the fork were thrust into her ankle
and she bounded to one side, as
though she were on spring. which
had suddenly been touched off, and
stood trembling with pain and fright
The work of clearing away the
droppings went on; each COW in turn
being helped out of the way by the
same means. and following the exam
row was reached.
The stable cleaned, the man picked
up the pail and stool, and walking
up to the first cow. with a Get over
there" gave her kick in the flank
She jumped with such violence that
her hind feet slipped backward and
she fell sprawling and trembling on
the barn floor; two more kicks helped
her back on her feet. Just as the man
was about to seat himself upon the
stool the farmer. no longer able to con-
troll his wrath. sprang forward and
gave him kick that sent him head
long under the COW, with the words,
Take a dose of your own treat
ment."
Taken by surprise the fellow could
not utter a word; but grabbing the
ten-dollar bill. which was onehalf the
months wages, he skulked away with
out further inducement
The shortage in the milk and the
appearance of the COWS were fully ex.
planned.
The farmer and his wife did the
milking that morning; and the same
day another man was hired who was
of the right sort. The COWS were soon
in their usual order. and giving their
regular amount of milk.

Power Company Rushing Work.

Colorado Springs.-Four hundred
men are at work pushing the transmits
sion line of the Central Colorado Power
Company into Denver. By November
list the work will be completed to tha:
point and cheap power will be avail
able, according to information given
out in Colorado Springs today.
The company will operate in Denver
from its Glenwood Springs plant. TIE
line has been completed from Glen
wood to Dillon and power is now being
distributed in Lake and Summit coun-
ties through the subsidiary company
at Leadville. A $4,000 voltage is being
maintained and this is to be increased
to 100000 volts.
The construction men are now at
work between Glenwood Springs and
Leadville and the line to Denver will
be operated from Dillon, over Argen-
tine pass, and taking in Georgetown,
Idaho Springs and Golden.
The announcement that operations
are progressing is interesting in con-
nection with the ultimate purpose of
the company to furnish power to all
the big enterprises of Colorado.
Months ago it was announced the
Moffat road and even the Colorado &
Southern and the Denver e Rio Grande
were figuring on electrifying their
lines and operating through the agency
of the Central Colorado company and
the Eastern Colorado company, which
is financed by the same people.
The two companies combine capt.
talization of nearly S3O,Ooo,000, and
the scheme is one of the largest, If not
the most gigantic, ever undertaken In
Colorado.
