PROTEST MADE

No Reason Why Farmer Should

A few years ago, when the pioneers

the depredatlons of the hunter, they
were charged by hunter and surround.

accommodating. But more and more
is there growing sentiment against
having ones farm used as a hunting
ground.
At this season II is very easy to
start a fire, very difficult to check one
that has once commenced. Even
though the majority of hunters are
careful never to toss aside a lighted
cigar, never TO strike matches in i'm
proper places, one never knows when
the careless one may come along and
do untold mischief.
There is the annoyance to stock.
The old saying, Zone might as well
be killed as scared to DEATH" Is ap.
plicable with peculiar force. Sheep,

Not long ago in looking over a
bunch Of hogs in western Illinois we
observed that most OF the animals
were afflicted with little sores, red
spots. on the thin places in their
skins.
These eruptions were particularly
noticeable back of the ear and on the
flanks. The farmer complained that
his hogs were not eating well and he
could not understand what caused the
sores to break out.
This bunch of hogs OF all ages. from
three-months-old pigs to three-year-old
sows, ran on a pasture during the
day but at night slept in houses which
were used for the winter quarters
suggested that the trouble might
be caused by lice. and the farmer
caught two or three pigs and found
them almost alive with parasites. He
was astonished and admitted that he
had never examined one of his ami
mails before.
Many farmers do not realize that
lice are a source of tremendous loss
in the raising of hogs. They worry
the animals and prevent their feeding
well, and in many cases produce sores
or eruptions which naturally retard
growth.
II is not difficult to rid the pig Of
lice by dipping or spraying, but these
remedies are OF no use unless the
pens and sleeping quarters are rid Of
the lice as we'll.
The best dip to use is some OF the
tar solutions, as they are harmless.

Radical Treatment of Ground.

Will permit
Radical Treatment Of Ground.
The completion of the work should
make a radical betterment in the section
within which it is situated, and one
which the topography has heretofore
prevented on account of the roughness
of the country, the steepness of the
slopes and the depths of the valley
through which the streets run. The
treatment is radical. embraces very con-
siderable changes in the levels of the
ground from their natural elevations,
and should result in marked develop
ment of real estate. especially in that
portion along Lanier place and east of
the intersection of Lanier place and
the new Zoo entrance.
The view showing the sewer man.
hole raised to final grade of the street
at the intersection of 18th street and
Quarry road is a demonstration of the
radical changes included in this plan,
and shows by its height the depth of
fill which is to be made at this point
and the distance that the street is to
be raised.

IMPORTANT STREET CHANGES
IN PROGRESS NEAR THE ZOO
New Entrance to Park Being Created From
Sixteenth Street and Columbia Road.

The appropriation bill for the District
! OF Columbia passed a year ago provided
| for radical treatment of that section of
the District lying between 18th street, Co
lumbia road, Mount Pleasant street and
Irving street. The plans on which the
appropriation was based included as their
principal feature a new entrance 10 Inc
Geological Park, extending from the pres
ent Quarry road entrance to the park in
practically an easterly direction to the in
tersection of 10th street and Columbia
road, with broad treatment of the street
development at this latter intersection.
The grade of Quarry road from Columbia
road to the present Zoo entrance Is very
steep, and its use Is largely Influenced by
this fact, and the new entrance which has
been provided for by Congress will to a
marked degree improve this feature of
accessibility. The new street thus pro-
vided is also connected with 18th street
and with Lanier place. which two latter
streets are to be extended across Quarry
road at a high grade, and thence into
the entrance street. The same authoriza-
ton also provides for the grading of sum
NIT place from the present level of 18th
street to the present level of Quarry road.
and that portion of Quarry road between
Lanier place and 18th street is level. at
this present elevation. access to the prop
erty abutting on this section of Quarry
road being afforded by Summit place. on
Quarry road from Lanier place to Co
lumbia road, and on 18th street to the
Zoo. The grade of the street is to be
raised very much above the present level,
the amount of elevation being over twen-
ty feet at the two Streets named Con-
nections for pedestrians between the high
grade of Quarry road at Lanier place
and at 18th street and the low grade of
Quarry road between these streets is to
be afforded by flights of steps located at
these two street intersections.
Condemnation Accomplished.
The appropriation act provided for
the condemnation of the new street
areas necessary for the project. and
this condemnation has been accom-
plished and the physical work on the
project has been begun and has been
in progress for about two months, the
condemnation resulting in an assess
ment on account of th, cost of the land,
approNimating 100000. the benefits
equal1ng which amount were assessed
upon property adjacent to the new
streets in accordance with the amounts
found by the marshafs jury
For the physical Improvement Of this
new entrance street and the new
streets. an appropriation Of $4,000 is
available. and the first expenditure
from this fund is to be made to ac-
complish the grading Of the street,
contract for which has been made with

twenty and thirty thousand dollars
