THINK COMPANY
SHOULD PAY REPAIRS

The Street and Sewer Directors and
Street Commissioner Pierson and
Secretary Christy held a conference
early this afternoon, with a represen-
tative of the J. j. Shannon and Sons
Company, of Philadelphia, agents, for
q concrete mixer the city purchased
from them last September for 1880.
II was learned today that the ap-
paratus was sold without any guar
antee and while the mixer works all
right the engine appeared to be too
light. AS a result the street and sewer
department has expended about S97
on it for repairs.
The agent said he could not allow
the department any of the funds for
repairing the engine, although the
company had assisted in every pos
sible way to make it work properly. II
was then decided to send duplicate
Of the bills the department had paid
to the selling agents and they will
advise the department what they will
do. The department, it is understood
have as yet paid nothing on the
machine.

A DUCK FARM.
Effort Being Made to Organize
One With a Capital Stock
of $4,000.

There is a strong effort being
made to organize an Indian Runner
Duck Farm at Port Gibson with a
capital stock OF $4,000. Several
sentIemer have signihed their will
lingness to put money into the en-
terprise, and there is every reason
for believing that it will be organ
lied.
No business venture offers larger
returns for the amount invested
than does a we'll managed duck
farm. Experiments during the past
wear. when every expense, includ-
Ing labor, was charged, show a
net profit per duck of q little less
than Sc so. And these experiments
were not made by an expert, but
bv an amateur. All food con-
sumed by the ducks had to be
bought, whereas when carried Oh
as a business much of the tooc
would be raised.
Eggs from the Indian Runner:
differ greatly from those of other
strains. They do not have the dis
agreeable strong taste. On the con
trary, they are superior to those o.
the hen and have greater value
The market for eggs has neve
been supplied, the demand Tar ex
ceeding the supply.
