Editor Of the Leader:

Editor of the Leader:
| see that the common council is con-
sidering an ordinance to close the sa-
looms at II o'clock p. ~. and keep them
closed until o'clock a. N. What use is
there of passing such an ordinance? We
have a state law covering the same
ground and the state law takes prece-
dence and would conflict. Is this ordi-
nance to be passed when the state law
covers the same question: to give the Of
fetal paper more work? or to make the
voters think that The members of the
common council are earning the 1888
per month which the people pay them
for their valuable CD time. But if it is
to give the official paper something to
do, it is probably for that reason that
the city printing was awarded without
giving it to the lowest bidder, as the
law requires, for the same reason.
Our city fathers have employed city
official to advise them, who cannot hold
the office legally Gas the law says man
cannot hold two Offices that are incom-
patible) at salary Of $4,000 per month.
Is it any wonder our taxes are high and
getting higher every year? When our
city fathers spend the taxpayers money
thus extravagantly, is it to be wondered
at?
Should our city officials wish to close
the saloons at 1 l p. m., Sundays and on
election days, stop minors, both male and
female, from frequenting them, remove
them from the vicinity of the schools,
churches, parks and play grounds, they
will find ample laws to do it without
waiting to pass an ordinance.
No Crank.

Extensive Poultry Fdttening.

bulletin entitled "Fattening POul-
try, describing successful methods of
fattening poultry on large commercial
scale and giving complete data on the
feeding of over 100000 birds, has just
been issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Il gives informa-
tiOn of operations on an ext tensive scale
and SO far as known is the first publica-
tion showing the cost of producing a
pound of gain in poultry.
'The successful feeding of poultry de-
pends largely on the ability of the feeder
to notice the condition of the chickens
on feed" is one of the fundamentals
laid down by the bulletin. THE common
practice in poultry packing houses is to
feed each lot II days or less. Most of
the milk-feed chickens are fed ID days.
Practically all of the special feeding in
this country involves the use of milk,
which produces the 'milk-fed chickens
of the market Milk, while the least
expensive, seems to be the most essential
constituent of the ration. and when a
feeder cannot get milk in some form he
generally does not attempt to fatten
poultry commercially.
Crate feeding from troughs is the
method employed in this country by
most OF the large fattening establish
ments, with to 10 fowls in crate.
Birds fed only for a short time may be
forced OF highly concentrated feeds,
whereas if fed longer they may need a
ration containing a greater variety anG
less concentrated.
Milk seems to have very important
influence on the digestive process, keep
ing the fowls in good condition under
forced feeding. Beef broth is used to
some extent but it is not as good as
milk. At the beginning, fowls should
be fed lightly for two or three feeds,
gradually increasing the amount until
they do not clean up all that is given to
them. The main object should be to
keep their appetites keen and at the
same time have them consume as much
feed as they can assimilate. By feeding
small amount often, they will eat
greater quantity and their appetites
will remain keener."
The conclusions reached by the inyes-
tigatiOn show that general purpose
fowls make more economical gains in
fattening than the Mediterranean class.
The average person will get better re-
suits in fattening by feeding three times
rather than twice daily. 1t was found
that the average cost Of feed and labor
per pound of gain for large lot Of
poultry was 9.09 cents and the cost Of
the feed alone was 40 cents. 1t was
also observed that hens made less gain
than chickens, in crate fattening and
that low grade wheat flour was more
economical feed than oat -four at the
pres ent prices of grain.
A copy of this bulletin may be obtained
by addressing request to the Secretary
of Agriculture, Washington, D. c., for
Bulletin 140 of the Bureau of Animal
Industry.

their plant being damaged to the extent
of nearly $4,000. The fire department
was quickly on the scene and at the time
of their arrival the roof Of the machine

flames. The interior of the two shops

badly damaged. The fire evidently start
ed in the machine shop, it being discoy-
cred by the nightwatchman, but it got
beyond his control. How the fire origi=
mated is not known. The buildings were
insured The fire is unfortunate to the
company, particularly for the reason
that there will be a delay in finishing
contracts, as considerable machinery
was partially completed.
Fred Sell, residing in North Church
street, met with an accident during the
progress of the fire. He was struck on
