North Side.
BY ORDER OF BOARD

The Santa F'e Kaw river bridge is
being heightened so feet. This is in
compliance with the order of the
North Topeka Drainage board that
the waterway under the bridge be
equal to that given by the extension
OF Melan bridge completed last
spring. Accordingly span is being
added to the north end Of the bridge.
The work will require about three
weeks
The extra span like the extension of
Melan bridge, is a measure of pro-
lection against floods in time of high
water. Recently the Rock Island
bridge was raised and heightened to
make the waterway under the ap
proaches equal to that under Melan
bridge.
The Santa Fe bridge was rebuilt
OF heavier material and heightened
two years ago. The changes on both
bridges were decided upon at a joint
meeting of the railroad representa-
tives and drainage board.

POULTRY NOTES.

Without suitable care, hens don't
pay.
Chicks and asparagus thrive well
together.
The hens worst enemies are lice
and mites.
Why blame the weather for poo,
luck In rearing turkeys?
Use green bone, ground or cut fine
to get strongly fortified eggs.
Anybody can keep hens but not
anybody can have hens keep him.
Green food is essential and unless
provided the chickens will not thrive
More chicks die during the first
three weeks from faulty incubation
than from any other cause.
The Black Minorcas are easy to
breed to show points and therefore il
is easy to keep them up to high egg
records.
The ideal gander Is one that has
large dimensions. active gait, lively
and clear eyes, an every ready and
harsh voice.
When chickens are about fort
night old they should be given theil
full freedom, as only In this way will
they grow strong and healthy.
Pigeons are very fond Of hemp seed
and will take nothing else If they car
get It, But to make 1t beneficial, II
must be fed in very small quantities
There is no margin of profit in
raising broilers to sell at % cents pei
pound, dressed, nor live ones at IL
cents, unless we raise our own grain
feed.
A factor which has remarkable
effect upon the health and develop
ment of young chickelA but which il
frequently neglected, is that of clean
illness.
The COW isn't the only creature
about the farm that likes to be well
