Board of Aldermen Meet.

The Board of Aldermen met in special
session few nights ago, the subject Of
repairing the reservoir being again taken
up and again discussed and the repair
ing of the sides was adhered to as orig
inally intended. The large reservoir
was emptied and the repairs will be
completed in few days. The work on
pipe line is being rushed and will be
completed by August Ist In the inter-
val the water from Lakin's Spring is
being utilized to meet any emergency
that may arise.
Future water superintendents will not
have SO much trouble to empty the large
reservoir to make repairs or clean the
basin, if the plans of Mr. Weiner and
the Mayor are carried out. The former
has decided upon scheme to place an
outlet under the reservoir by which all
the water can be drained from the res
ervoir without the necessity of pumping.
Several of the Aldermen have expressed
their desire to see this improvement
made to the reservoir and it is very likely
that the work will be done while the
repairs are being made to the sides.

Nature Notes From Connecticut.

Fishermen have long wondered in what
manner it was possible for German carp
to cut seines when fishermen have them
safely netted. 1t has been shown by
Frank Schemercorn. of Canaan, CT, how
easily the thing is done. Each carp has
small cross-cut saw on its back fin, with
teeth as fine and sharp as needles, and
when the carp gets into net it begins to
roll itself up in the folds of the net and as
it thus thrashes around this fine saw-like
fin, with its teeth sixteenth of an inch
long, gets to work on the meshes of the
net, and the result is the tearing of some
big holes in the net, from which the fish
escapes.
Saturday Mr. Schermerhorn shot a
nine-pound carp in the Housatonic River,
near Pease's boathouse, striking the fish
in the forehead with .32-calibre bullet.
The carp's head was so hard the bullet
mushroomed to nearly twice its ordinary
diameter.-Beykshiye Courier.

Young Pigs.

Young pigs should have the best of care
and get to eating nicely while on the
mother. They should not be weaned until
they are nine weeks old, if good results
are obtained. Most Of the farmers do not
feed their young pigs often enough, but
will give them too much at one time.
They should get their feed eight or nine
times day, and only little at time, II
good and quick growth is obtained: i
know some of my friends says that this is
too much work, and no one could do it
unless they had boys or girls large enough
to run the farm.

Hot, But Happy.

The extremely hot weather has thus far
been only detrimental to growing potatoes
in Carroll county. The vines are shrivel-
ing and the crop will be almost total
failure. Growing corn is still green and
vigorous, and the oat crop is so far ma
tured that it has not been much affected.
Wheat harvest is over and the crop is a
very satisfactory one.
AS yet the heated spell has had no ap-
preciable effect npon streams and the
water supply The maximum tempera-
ture during the last five days has ranged
from eS to 100 degrees, but the people OF
the county are generally only experience
ing discomfort, not danger, from the heat.
