QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.

ANSWER:
Evidently the pullet referred to has
some coarse straw or something of
the kind in her crop, which she can
not digest or that will not pass
through into the gizzard 1t may be.
possible that there is an obstruction
of some kind at the mouth Of the
gizzard to keep this food from pass
ing through. The best thing to do
would be to cut her craw' open and
remove this substance and sew it
back again. This can be done very
easily. and it is not likely to hurt
or injure her. especially if she is not
too weak.
1t would be hard> for me to say
what the male bird is worth unless
could see him. 1t is possible that he
is a well-bred bird, but from the de-
scription given you could not hope to
breed anything fancy from bird
with as many defects as he has. For
So you could not expect very much
of a bird in Buff Orpingtons. As a
rule, a good Buff Orpington cock will
cost you from so to $50. such as you
would be paid to breed from.

GAINESVILLE PLANS
MANY IMPROVEMENTS

GAINESVILLE. Ca, Jan. 1s.-The
GAINESVILLE spirit was strongly in evil
dence at a joint meeting of the city
council, trustees of Gordon institute and
the chamber of commerce. The object of
the meeting was to devise means of de-
veIoping the public park now in process
of construction. After a strong talk
by Mr. C. o. Summers, of the trustees
of the institute. and flow of public
spirit from other sources of the city coun-
Gil passed up an additional appropria-
ton of $1,000 which was supplemented
by $1,000 from the trustees and donations
of $500 from G. L. Summers, and 500 from
the mayor, ]. G. Collier These addi-
tional sums make an entire appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the purpose OF de-
veloping and identifying the public
park.
In Acknowledgement of the gerat in
terest taken in this movement by Mr..
G. l.. Summers, it was unanimously de-
cided to name the park Summers park.
This and other movements looking to the
internal development of GAINESVILLE are
direct results from the work of the cham
Der of commerce, which is becoming a
strong and permanent organization.
The city council is also perfecting plans
to grade and otherwise improve the
streets and sidewalks along lines of the
most approved methods. Positive steps
in this direction will be taken in next
few days.
Under the auspices Of the chamber of
commerce an annual banquet of the bust
ness men of the city will be held on the
evening of January 26 at the boys dor
mitory. This event promises to be a
land mark in the progress and growth
Of GAINESVILLE.
The citizens back of all. these move
ments are those who are clearing the
way for the Tri-County fair to be held
in GAINESVILLE next fall. The appropria-
tons named provide for half mile track
in the park for the use of the fair as
ISOLATION, and permanent buildings will
be erected in time for the fair.
The foundation for the SO, 900 building
for Gordon institute is now being laid,
which, coupled with the sewerage ex-
tension now in process are tangible evil
dence of the progressive spirit now per-
vading GAINESVILLE.
