WHAT'S THE USE OF KNOCKING?

The ceremony or "burying the ham
mer" has been celebrated in many
cities and towns of late, where the
people have discovered they have been
doing large. amount of senseless
knocking,
When people discover the error of
their ways, and then proceed to
change their methods and endeavor
to begin anew and follow new line
that has for it's object betterment
of conditions, there is reason to hope
those people and towns will prosper,
but in towns where ninety nine out OF
every hundred citizens continue to
oppose and criticise the few who try
to do something for the town in which
they live, there is mighty little room
for hope, and with the loss of hope,
faith and charity must surely perish.
Why not bury the hammer in
Perrysburg9 The reason is because
there are so many hammers there Is
not ground enough, to furnish burial
places.
Atpresent the great knocking car
nival is held over the Second street
Improvement, and while there may
have been some features concerning
the Councils action in the matter that
might have been done differently, the
great question is-would the change
have been an improvement?
If the writer had had exclusive
charge of the improvement, he might
have done the work differently than
it is being done-but would the
change have been an improvement?
The same is also true with SO of
every 100 citizens-each has his own
way of doing and might have done
the work in different manner-but,
again, would the change have been
an improvement?
The village council is composed of
Democratic Mayor, three Republican
and three Democratic councilmen-
all citizen tax payers-and all seven
OF them, honest men, and regardless
of their political affiliation, the Jour-
nal believes, and does not hesitate to
boldly proclaim, that these men did
what they believed to be the best for
the village, and we feel that all talk
OF doodle, "unfairness" and "poor
judgment" is outrageously unjust.
One beautiful fact remains plain to
everybody
The Council Did Something,
and did what they believed to be
right, and in accordance with their
best judgment.
Mistakes they may have made, but
it is far more commendable for men
to make errors while accomplishing
something, than to do nothing to
avoid making mistakes.
When the improvement is complet-
ed Second street will be one of the
most beautiful streets in Ohio-eyen
though every brick in the pavement
may represent blow from knock
er's hammer.
How long will this habit OF knock
ing continue to keep Perrysburg a
dissatisfied, ununited people9 When
will the sunlight of good will and
municipal unity break through the
clouds OF selfishness and ill will

cattle or animals having the power
perhaps to produce fairly good re-
suits from the standpoint of milk and
butter production and fairly good re-
suits from the standpoint of the pro
duction of beef calves. Now, 1t Is
possible undoubtedly, to select cows
of the beef breeds that will produce
during the year an average Of from
100 to 200 pounds of butter More
often, however, 1t is found that such
herd produces more nearly an aver
age of 100 pounds of butter than 200
pounds; and, then, of course. the
calves from these COWS, being bred
along beef lines, if raised and cared
for properly, will prove fairly profit
able from the standpoint of beef pro
duction. 1t is the buyer of beef that
always advises the farmer to use dual
purpose cattle for his farm and dairy
rather than beef cattle, because he
realizes that the time has come when
it is Improbable for the farmer to
keep a COW for the entire year solely
for the production of Il calf: but 1t is
possible, if she produces in addition

$50, that she may be and probably Is

sands of them being sold that do not
bring this much money and there is
possibility of their being bought for
less than $40 and placed upon the
farm and raised and fed into remark

1t Is the height of folly to give the
COW any more credit for the calf she
has produced than $40 1t is not

are thin and otherwise out of condi.
ton are thus troubled. The front

slanting, thus need attention. Water
should always be given before feed
ing. and none should be given for at
least two hours after feeding. The
hay or roughage should be fed FIRST,
then the grain part of the ration. The
harness should always be properly
fitted to the horse. Large collars or
too small collars should never be
used. During warm weather the har-
ness, and especially the collars, should
be kept very clean. They should be
scraped and washed every evening, to
prevent sore shoulders This is an
important point, especially with young
horses.
