POULTRY RELISH SKIM MILK
One Of Very Best of Foods for Grow
Ing Chicks, Keeping Digestion
In Good Order.
CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

Very few people understand the
value of skim milk as a food for poul-
try. They relish it and it is very good
for them, either sweet or sour or but
termilk, If it is not too cold.
Milk takes the place of meat scraps
to a certain extent. In fact, the feed
Ing of meat can be put down one
fourth when the fowls have all the
skim milk they can drink, and the re-
suits obtained will be the same. Milk
is fine to feed laying hens and will
materially increase the egg yield
1t Is one of the very best Of foods
for the growing chicks, keeping their
digestion in good order and Fastening
their growth, as it contains the ele-
ments necessary for their develop
ment.
Where milk Is fed regularly and a
teaspoonful each of ginger and soda
added to each gallon every third or
fourth day, there will be no cholera
or other bowel troubles. Stir the mix
ture until thoroughly dissolved before
feeding. This is very easily prepared
and viii keep their digestive organs
toned and sweetened
When fattening fowls, skim milk
should be used to mix the mash. They
like 1t better and in this way are in
duced to eat just as much more, as
the milk while serving as moisture to
wet the mash is also a hearty food.
The food for young ducks should
be mixed with milk and curds made
from sour milk are indispensable for
young turkeys.
Remember that milk will not take
the place of water, as it so soon turns
to solid food in the crop. Keen
water before the chickens the same as
ever no matter how much milk they
may have
On every farm there is more or less
milk for feeding and it will pay to
see that the chickens get their share
of it.

CHAPTER XVI.
A New Princess.

Napoleon found obstacles in the
way of obtaining the property where
he had discovered the desired cirynith.
tThe German crown declared it was
mot for sale. He asked for a long
lease, and the right to mine the Peak
IEuemeg, but that would conflict with
the laws of Hungarian lease and rent
al rights.
Realizing that he never would ar.
rive at the actual working of the mine,
unless he took a decided step, he paid
"a visit to the Count Won Werdenstein
personally.
This time he crossed the ocean In
one Of the newest English liners that
made the trip between New York and
liverpool in three days.
Upon his arrival In Berlin he visited
his friend, Herr Kalmar, before he
Leven sought a hotel. The German
was very happy to see the man with
whom he had so many pleasant deal
hngs, and readily explained the politi.
zeal situation in Europe. He frankly
lsaid that there was possibility OF an
international disturbance; the people
were happy, but the nobility, and.
Emore particularly, the idle army and
navy officers, were ~agitating the ques'
zion Of restoring the standing armies
and aerial and naval defenses.
Napoleon listened gravely to the
opinions Of this brave and broad
minded man who was doing all he
pould to enlighten the people. He
knew Herr Kalmar was a perfectly
Trustworthy man. SO he told him about
pits dificulties in obtaining PEAK Sue
meg.
Herr Kalmar said: Il believe that
the chancellor. Notwithstanding hiz
defeat In American waters, has re-
&ained the kaiser's good win. and has.
no doubt, delayed matters because he
wanted to md out why you want the

Dr.. Hutchinson Declares Assessment
Methods OF tlae City On the
Wrong Basis.

IN the course of the survey of the
city government being made for the
City Beautiful Club, by DR.. ]. H.
Hutchinson, representative of the
Bureau of Municipal Research of New
York, City Clerk, w. A. Lee yester-
day submitted to him a statement of
the receipts of the city and the war
rants issued by it during the fiscal
years 1911 and 1912, and the present
year to date. The totals are: =.
In 1911 the receipts were $92, 437 90,
warrants issued, $124.S2S,46, an ex-
cess over receipts of $31, S9O.94. In
1912 the receipts amounted to $751;
1891, warrants issued 02,545.97, an
exces of $1o,962.o6. In 1918, up to De-
cember 1. the receipts were $50, S4S.2S,
while the warrants issued up to De-
cemberfls total $s7}ose, an excess of
$e,177.72 NJ !.
DR.. Hutchinson takes for granted
that all the citizens of Pine Bluff
know that, the city is running behind
in its finances each year; but he
wonders If all the citizens know by
just how much the expenditures each
year exceed the revenue. The tax
payers of Pine Bluff are the stock
holders furnishing the capital to run
the Pine Bluff city government. Did
each stakeholder know at the end of
1911 that what should be the most
successful business in Pine Bluff has
spent &32, zoe more than it has receiv-
ed; that at the end of 1912 the amount
was approximately $4,000 more; and
that at the present time, not deduct
ing for moneys in the hands of the
collector, collected during December.
the amount is. over $4,000. That is

has issued warrants for Is per cert.
more than It has received. How long
could taxpayer do business on such
a basis and how long. would he be-
willing to do SO? Why should he al
low the city to do It?
That sort Of spending has gone on
for years as we all know. The de-
ficits given above total only $4,000.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Secretary OF
War Garrison today referred to the
Attorney-G General for an opinion in
the case of John Burke, of the Canal
Commissary Department. who 1t Is
alleged enriched himself to the extent
Of $4,000 in the purchases for the

Secretary Garrison says that SO far
as he has been able to ascertain the
Government has not lost anything by
reason Of alleged bonuses from tho

many taxpayers, saw the city's Octo-
Der financial statement. During No
vember there was issued $6,135.51 in
scrip. Thus on December /, Pine
Bluff had outstanding warrants due
and unpaid amounting to more than
$15O,0O0; and that is in addition to
the total bonded Indebtedness of the
City for pavements, sewers and other
permanent improvements carried on
by the various improvement districts.
Suppose the city government of
Pine Bluff should shut down today and
stay shut down until the outstanding
warrants we're paid off. At the 1913
rate of revenue, estimated by the city
council as $4,000, it would be nearly
two years before the city government
could start operations again.
This is brief statement Of the
citys financial condition as found by
DIR. Hutchinson. Taxpayers already
know these things. Have they given
to them the necessary consideration?
Do taxpayers study the monthly fin
ancial statements Of their city govern
ment as closely as they study the
monthly, weekly or daily financial
statement of their own business?
The defect fundamentally to everything
else is the method of assessing prop
efty for the purposes Of taxation.
There are cities that estimate the
value Of property SO closely that real
estate dealers use their figures to aid
them in their operations. Just as ef-'
ficint valuation of property. could be
in operation in Pine Bluff by insist
ing that only persons be, chosen to
assess property who know how to
assess property, by insisting that such
persons serve for term of several
years so that they may become in
creasingly acquainted with the work,
by insisting that they be paid suffi-
cient salaries, and finally by efficien-
cy records, insisting that they assess
property efficiently, Pine Bluff would
have all the revenue that it needs to
run it's government"
