Councilman Mason suggested Sc

Councilman Maxson suggested Sc

The Davis matter was then taken up,
where MIR. Davis asks that the town
pay for dredging out the mouth OF the
drain. President Clarke suggested tnat
a lawyer be engaged TO ascertain Vne e
towns rights in the matter and be
governed accordingly. No action was
taken.
There was a general discussion in
regard to paving the Broad street
bridqe, in which Councilman Flynn,
Culley, Maxson and Langworthy par
ticipated The general sentiment was
naturally in favor of native granite
blocks. Mr.. Flynn stated that the reg
llar blocks would probably be too
heavy for use on the bridge. but that
he thought a smaller block could be
used and laid the same as the vitritied
brick, without material increase IN
weight
A letter was read from the Berlin
Bridge company that brick was prefer
able to granite; granite blocks would
be too heavy, unless the bridge was
considerably strengthened. The mat
ter was left with the highway commit
tee for consideration.
Councilman Babcock suggested the
locating of electric street lights at Pot

lamps. as not only a matter of i'm
provement, but for economic reasons

In regard to the speeding of auto
mobiles on the Watch Hin road, Coun-
Gilman Burdick said the laws should be
enforced, as some drivers have no re-
gard for public safety and the roads are
being destroyed.
Nicholas p Mullen called attention
to the fact that his horses leg was
broken while in Zones street by reason
of defective highway. The council
promised to make investigation.
Thomas J. BaRnon petitioned for
druggist license for his store in MAR

The Froxen-Meat Trade.

Frozen Chinese pork Is to be import
ed into England, which recalls to the
mind Of writer in the London Chron-
icle the fact that the frozen meat trade
Is nearly century old. On Jan. 80,
1916, three Eskimos arrived at Har-
wich, England, by the packet from
Gothenburg, bringing five sledges pack
ed with ptarmigan, blackcock and 9TH
er game, frozen and packed in air-tight
cases. The enterprising Northerners
had to pay over $3.50 duty on the con-
signment and $50 for carriage from
Harwich to London; but, as the game
was in excellent condition, it found n
ready sale and brought high prices.
The Eskimos did so well out Of the
speculation that they remained in Eng
land for several months, spending their
profits in royal fashion; but, despite
the success of the experiment, it does
not appear to have been repeated

To Fatten Fowls.

A good method for fattening fowls
is given by reader: Shue the fowls
up in dark place, with just enough
light for them to see to eat, and sup
ply them well with grit and water.
Corn meal, ground oats, cracked wheat
and shorts mixed in equal portions
should be fed. Feed them as often
during the day as they will clean up
the food and bear in mind the impor-
tance of "stufiing" them. They should
be fed after dark every evening, as
well as very early each morning. Half
a dozen fowls together will fatten more
rapidly than a large number, and If it
Is practical to pen them off, six to a
pen is the right number. Give no green
stuff to these fowls, but rations of
cooked potatoes, rice, corn bread
cracked corn and whole wheat may be
given. Fowls crowded and stuffed in
this way should be in fine condition In
three weeks.

Feed for Cows.

The COW likes variety of food, and
1t pays to give it to her. For the stim-
ulation Of the appetite and aid in di-
gestion, some of her feeds should be
green and succulent, such as roots and
silage for winter. Some linseed meal
should be given at frequent intervals
1t Is not only rich feed, but an ex-
cellent regulator Of the digestive Or
gans. Clover and alfalfa hay are both
rich in milk-forming elements, and give
bulk to the ration. Some corn should
be given daily, especially through the
cold months, as cows greatly relish the
grain, and it helps in forming butter
fat and In producing animal fat. Give
the cows about all they will eat up
clean Of each feed, but shift changes
often, not only the kinds, but the
amounts of each kind, at different
times. This change gives stimulat-
ing variety to feeds, and the cows
thrive and produce on it.

The third class just sanctioned, are
the monsters Oklahoma and Wyoming,
of 26,500 tons apiece, mounting IL 12-

broadside and two be held in reserve
as In the Dreadnought.
The japanese In their new ships Of
22,OOO tons (of which there are three
or more building) have adopted prac-
tically the same design, though some
accounts give them IA guns, the fore
most and aftermost turrets, 1t Is said,
being designed to carry three guns
each-a most unlikely arrangement.
Finally, the French, in the Danton
class, Of which the first ship, the Vol
taire, was launched on Jan. 16, have
adopted a two-caliber plan similar to
our Lord Nelson and Agamemnon and
the Japanese Satsuma and Aki. That

guns in turrets fore and aft on the

mounted In pairs In three turrets on
each broadside. Many naval officers
affect preference for this armament.
but the reason is not very clear. The
guns are crowded together and must
interfere with each other, and, more
over, on whatever bearing the vessels
fight they must always have an inordi-
nate proportion of their armament out
of action.

The Germans, like ourselves, have
eight vessels In hand of one type, but
of displacements rising from 1900 to
1900 tons. AS regards their arma-
ment, 1t is said that they will mount
twelve 11-inch-guns, eight on the CEN
ter line and four In turrets placed en-
echelon, as in the Invicibe class, SO
as to fire on either broadside. On the
face of 1t this gives them a broadside
of 9,120 pounds as compared with $500
pounds for the Dreadnought. But the
bearing of the turrets en- echelon is
very limited and their net broadside,
effective against any ship not absolute

that great interference is certain and
their ahead and astern fire is weak.

Feed for Poultry.

The effect of meat rations was tested
at the West Virginia Experiment sta.
ton, where one pen of fowls received a
ration largely of corn and another
starchy grains. while another pen was
fed partly on meat and fresh bone.
The meat-fed fowls laid 1855 eggs,
while the grain-fed birds laid 3,43l, or
less than one-half as many as those
receiving the nltrogenous ration. The
eggs from the meat-fed fowls were
larger. much firmer, rather better and
produced far more vigorous chickens
than those of the others.

why Is Thi, Thunr

Working on the most Trustworthy
statistics obtainable in regard to road
accidents an esteemed contemporary
has figured out that the automibie Is
just ten times as destructive as the
horse. The automobile is supposed to
be entirely under the control of the
driver, while the horse has a will of
his own, and the inference Is that a
horse is more or less difficult to control
for this reason. Why does not this
theory work out in practice?

Farm Law.
N0NN-ONNNNN

Laws governing the ownership Of
real estate have been evolved from the
mutual rights Of man to the soil and
his relations to his fellow man and the
public welfare. Ownership of land is
one Of the great upholding forces Of
modern civilization. No man, however,
acquires right to real estate that he
can maintain against the public well
fare. which has the power to condemn
property needed for public use, or that
Is menace to public life and health.
All mems rights In real estate are cir
cumscribed by the rights of adjoining
owners and the paramount interests Of
the general government, which can take
possession Of the property after ap-
praisal and condemnation for the gen.
eral welfare. If the government did
not retain the right to condemn and
take property belonging to private par
ties, then the Individual holding would
be an empire in itself and block all
progress and public improvements.
All real estate is defined and circum-
scrlDed by boundary corners ana lines
as established by government survey.
The States are divided into counties,
and the counties subdivided into town.
ships, and the townships into sections
OF $40 acres. Each section is divided
into quarter sections with appropriate
descriptions in the conveyance of the
property. The meridian lines were
used In description of real estate, and
In the government survey section and
quarter section corners are established
TO mark the boundaries of public lands.
In purchasing land it is well in the
preliminary examination to ascertain
the corners and boundary lines Of the
property and ascertain If the adjoining
owner is satisfied with the division
fences. If one purchases eighty acres
and he apprehends that the land is
snort measure 1t would be better ito
nave the property surveyed before the
transfer Is made The government cor
ners should be marked by stone not
easily removed, and If the corner Is SO
designated subsequent surveys may
make the property more or less than
the description, but cannot change the
monumental corners established by the
original government survey.
Farms are occupied individually and
not In severalty, and the new pur-
chaser should ascertain before closing
the purchase the division of the line
FENCES which inclose the property and
discover If such division is satisfactory
to adjoining property holders, as ex-
pensive litigation has often grown out
or misunderstanding of land bound |
aries and division fences. Every pur-
chase OF real estate should be hedged
about by the removal of every obstacle
that might cause misunderstanding
between neighbors,-Goodall's Farmer.
