WATER WORKS FOR PARAMOUNT

Morse BIuns, Neb., Man Gets Con-
trnct to sink We'll.
As a starter for al independent water
works system for the exclusive beneftt
OF Fairmount park the park commissioners
have ayarded to c. a. Killian OF Morse
Eiuff. Neb.. the contract for sinking a well
at that public resort. 1t Is the declared
intention Of the park commissioner to
install an automatic electric pump ana to
raise the water to a reservoir To be located
on the highest point in the park, from
which It can be distributed to all points
OF the resort. The well is to be sunk near
the main entrance to the park and in the
Immediate vicinity of the structure erected
at the suggestion of COMMISSIONS Graham
and known as the REST House."
Tho total cost of the independent water
works system, the park commissioners
estimate. will be about $500.
The announcement that the park com
missioners contemplate expending this large
sum in a water works system for Fair
mount park has aroused more or less criti-
clsm. in view of the fact that for several
years III re has been a general demand
that the commissioners complete the bring
ing TO grade Of Bayliss park.
1T appears to me-" said a we'll known
businessman yesterday. chat the park COM
missioners would spend some of the money
raised for the maintenance OF the parks in
Improving Bayliss park. which Is right in
the center of the city, in place of erecting
rest houses and other structures In Fair
mount park, which certainly cannot be
called ornamental and are OF doubtful use,
I for one cannot see where the economy
comes in in installing a water works plant
in Paramount park when water is furnished
free to the city parks"

Poultrymen estimate that Ii costs !
cent apiece TO produce an egg. The
estimate Is based on the fact that the
hen lays 10 eggs in the year. In other
words, where the fowls are confined to
runs, aud the feed must be purchased.
II costs 10 cents a month or xi.2D a
year to maintain a hen. If the hen Is
an indifferent layer and gives but sixty
eggs In a year, her eggs cost the poul-
tryman . cents each.
An experiment conducted by the Cor
nell experiment station In 1902 showed
that the average cost OF feed for a
dozen eggs was % cents. or about 2.
Of a cent an egg. The cost for each
hen for the year was y9.6 cents. At

To make poultry profitable on the
farm Ii Is Necessary TO breed for bet

trap nests in the henhouses, and each
year picking out the best layers and
breeding only from such. The farmer
must grade up his stock. LE must
get rid Of the mongrel birds; he must
drive out the drones. and must encour
age the workers. The farm must pro-
duce better poultry and more OF IL.

The things which the Country Life
Commission desires To do, above ali

there is a tremendous problem before

The things which must be secured
for the farmer are better farming ma.

Feeding Meal. Wet or Dry.

Many of II farmers seem to hold
the opinion that feeding meal wet TO
their COWS will bring better results
than when fed dry. One old farmer
makes the remark, "how can the cow
get any goodness out of a pan OF dry
meal?" yet Notwithstanding the fact
that SO many dairymen hold TO the
practice of feeding the meal wet, the
experiments to date indicate hat bet
ter results are obtained by feeding
it dry. Professor Jordan. Of the Maine
Experiment Station, fed a bunch OF
elves corn and cob meal with long
hay in dry form. as against hay which
vas run through a feed cutter. mois-
Ened and sprinkled with corn and cob
meal. The results were in favor Of
the dry feeding. The gain was great
or. and less feed was required for
100 pounds Of gain. Professor Jordan
alsD conducted an experiment with two
herds of dairy cows, n herd was fed
dry feed, while the feed OF the other
was moistened. The greater yield OF
milk was obtained from the herd that
received the dry feed.

fact that the farmers who follow a
