APPOINT PEACOCK
TO FINISH ROADS
Some Question Raised as to
Whether Horton Should
Do This.

At the meeting of the county COM
missioners Saturday afternoon County
Surveyor Peacock was appointed to
succeed former Surveyor II. H. Hor-
ton, as road engineer on all macadam
road improvements, petitioned for and
pending before the board of commits
sioners, on all roads built or under
process of construction in Wayne
county.
Mr. Horton was instructed to turn
over to Peacock all original field notes,
maps and books as well as other pa
pers belonging to the county survey
or's office.
The question as to whether or not a
former county surveyor should be al
lowed to finish roads, commenced dur
ing his term, should be finished is a
question which will be settled in the
courts of Hamilton and Vigo county.
In these counties the surveyors declar-
ed they were entitled to serve until
their work had been completed.
County Attorney John Robbins said
he believed that the incoming surveyor
should assume all work whether com
pleted or not. Wilfred Jessup differed
with the county attorney and declared
that Horton was the legitimate Office
holder until his work was completed
The decisions handed down by the
courts may be decisive for all counties
in the state.
Peacock filed bond in the sum OF
$4,000 as engineer and viewer of the
improvement of the National road east
and also $4,000 for each of the follow
ing roads, Liberty pike, Richmond

Scantland road

referred to the petitioners. A remon-
STRANGE signed by a majority of the
resident property owners was present
ed.
The plans for the improvement of
Southwest A street from Fifth street
to Eleventh street in West Richmond
were modified to call for a five-foot
cement walk instead of a six-foot
walk as first specified. Property
owners objected to the wide walk on
the grounds that it would be neces-
safy to remove a number of large
-rees in the construction of the walks.
Aers stated that they were against
proving the street further than
Ninth street, but later withdrew their
objection.
The resolution for the improve
ment of Southwest D street from Sec
ond street to the Earlham campus
was taken under Amusement for a
year. 1t was stated that much traffic
would pass over the street when the
school house Is built. Several proper
ty owners demonstrated.
The improvement on South Second
street from A street to B street was
confirmed. The improvement of
Eighth street from North E street to
South II street was confirmed. This
improvement calls for brick paving
and cement curb, gutter and walks at
all places where those improvements
have not already been made. A SAM
tary sewer from North G street to the
river between Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets was ordered by the
board of health.

SOME ESSENTIALS
FOR A GOOD LAWN
Begin to Now Grass as Soon as
1t Begins to Gr0W-USe
Clippings as Mulch.

To have a good lawn, as the gras
begins to grow NOW it often. Abandon
the notion that moving grass will kill
it; it will do nothing Of the kind.
Frequent moving, two or three
times week, will keep down thick
places and allow thin places to assert
themselves.
Do not rake TIN lawn clippings I'M
less your lawn soil is exceedingly
fertile, Save the extra work and allow
the clippings to lie on the ground for
mulch and fertilizer.
Lawn clippings are splendid green
feed for poultry confined in pens, but
when they are taken from the lawn an
equivalent fertilizer should be re
turned-at some time.
When the lawn mower gets dull do
not take it to the shop to be sharp
ened. but adjust and tighten the bolts
or tension at the bottom on either end
of the bar, so that the revolving blades
ring sharply against the bottom hori
zontal cutting blade. This will make
the mower sharpen itself in turning
Almost all lawn mowers are con
structed for self sharpening. WheT
the tension is tight it requires just
little more force in pushing, but II
cuts; it can't help It'll. II. Shepard

but in practical points they may be
considered a distinct and well-estab-
lished breed.
In the eastern part of the United
States are many farms keeping from
one to several thousand hens and
devoted exclusively to the production
of poultry and eggs for the market.
The use of any breed on such farms
should be good witness of its utility
The tabulation Of the breeds used on
such plants as are shown to the
writer gives the following results:
White Wyandottes occupy first
place, being used on about twice as
many plants as any other one breed.
Single-comb White Leghorns, Barred
Plymouth Rocks and White Plymouth
Rocks follow next in order. Rhode
Island Reds, Light Brahmas, Bun
Wyandottes, Buff Plymouth Rocks,
Brown Leghorns and Black Minorcas
are tho other breeds in use. Leg
horns, Minorcas and Rhode Island
Reds are used on the egg farms
Light Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks
on the rooster and cSpon plants
while the broiler and combination
plants use Plymouth Rocks, Wyan
dottes or Rhode Island Reds.

(By X. G.. WEATHERSTONE)
The Wyandotte is smaller than the
Plymouth Rock, but an equally rapid
grower. 1t is generally claimed that
the White Wyandotte will stand push
ing for rapid growth the best of any
breed.
As layers the Wyandottes seem to
rank about with the Plymouth Rocks,
but being somewhat more active and
having less tendency to overfatness
they should be credited with a slight
advantage.
The Rhode Island Red breed con.
stitutes the latest addition to the list
Of popular American breeds OF chick
ems. This variety differs from the
majority Of breeds in claiming for
themselves an origin based solely on
practical considerations.
They are partly Of Asiatic blood,
but in their selection, which extends
ever a period of fifty years. attention
has been paid to rapid growth and
egg production, so that the breed to
| day more nearly resembles the Leg
horns than does either the Plymouth
Rock or Wyandotte.
One fundamental difference still eX

the red chicken, they being persistent
