LEAGUE TO RESCUE
OFFERS TO HAVE CITY CLEANED
AND TAKE SCRIPT AT PREVAIL
ING DISCOUNT.

The ladies of the Civic League have
taken hold of matters in the interest OF
sanitation for Brownsville. and at a
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
this morning decided to make a PROPOSE
ton to the city council to operate the
scavenger wagons until such time as the
city can again get on its feet" The
league has a thousand dollars III its
treasury, and it offers to use up this
amount, if necessary, taking in return
city script at the prevailing discount,
and holding the script until it is good.
The league will 90 before the council
with a communication Monday after
noon, and will propose that the city turn
the carts and mules over to the league,
the league paying the wages of the
scavenger men every Saturday night.
and then rendering a bill for the amount
expended to the city. AS stated. the
league will take city script and hold it
until the city is in position to pay cash
for it.
Besides this proposition, the league
also will ask the council to enforce the
ordinance prohibiting splitting on the
sidewalks, and, if the council agrees to
do its part. will have placards printed
and distributed in public places over
the city. This is in accordance with a
decision reached by the league at a prev
ious meeting. but on which it had as yet
taken no definite action.
The ladies are of the opinion that, if
the scavenger service must be discon-
tinued, they should take hold Of the mat
ter. and if the situation is as serious
as depicted, they should take such ac-
ton as is necessary to protect the health
of the entire city.

ion that the council will agree to the
proposition they will place before it.

then il any is left, clean out the
trough well and fill with cool, fresh
water. This should be left before
them until next feeding time.
A cup OF grit should be fastened
where they can get at 1t all the time.
A little green stuff and mixed with
the feed is good appetizer, but not
indispensable.
Two weeks in coop like this will
nearly double the weight of thrifty
bird. Even the culls and "runts" can
be brought to very satisfactory mar
ket stage in a few days. For old
hens, such as every flock should be
cleared of once a year. it is the best
possible plan to get them into shape
for selling. The flesh Of crate-fatten-
ed fowls is white and tender, not hav-
ing been toughened by exercise. Then,
too, there is the satisfaction of know
ing that only clean. wholesome food
has been eaten. To fastidious per
son this makes great difference.
Probably the best way to market
poultry, for the average boy who has
a small flock, is to work up trade
among customers. This can easily be
done where the same plan has been
followed in selling eggs. If he has
kept his eggs up to high standard,
the buyer reasons that his chickens
win be so as well Even on the
start he can demand, and get price
that Is much above the ordinary mar
ket stock. provided. always, that he
sets aud keeps a high quality as his
standard.
Birds that are to be kept for sale
as breeders should never be allowed
to become fat, They should be kept
in good order, in clean. attractive
quarters, and always where they can
be shown to prospective customers,
at moments notice. The finest bird
in dirty, bad-smelling coop will not
show to good advantage, and will not
sell as quickly as an ordinary one in
attractive surroundings. Birds hav-
ing white plumage should be kept
where they can be kept clean, other
wise they will not show for what they
are. ...
Sell your ROSTERS early. keep the
pullets to increase. your flocS, and get
rid of your old hens as soon as you
are through with them for sitters and
mothers. Never sell bird for breed
ing purposes unless it is first class,
even at lower figure than common.
If fowl is to advertise your business,
and bring you new buyers. 1t must be
of the best. Don't let anything else
go from your yard.

1.-THE proof of the pudding is in the
eating" and the proof OF success in
the poultry business is in the profit
made at selling time.
You must begin to plan as to when
and how you are going to market
your fowls about as soon as the eggs
are set-or even before, SO as to know
what your aim is to be-whether ma
ture dressed poultry, birds for breed
ing, or frying chickens. OF course 1t
all depends upon what the demand in
your vicinity is for. II you live where
there will be sale for good birds for
breeding, 1t may not pay you to sell
many fowls to the market. If you find
a good call for broilers or small chicks
for frying-and these usually bring
good prices-you might do your best
work in raising some kind of early
maturing fowls that will make a
pound and a half at six weeks or two
months old.
IL you intend to sell dressed poultry,
1t is usually best to choose a breed
having yellow legs and light-colored
feathers, as they look, nicer than the
black-legged, black-colored varieties.
The meat is not bit better, but you
know it is looks that count when a
buyer comes into a market.
AS soon as the pullets can be told
from the roosters, they Should be sep
afated. and unless you expect 10 7aeii
them for breeding, the surplus males
should be fattened and disposed OF as
early as possible.
II you want to hurry them onto the
market, one of the very best plans is
that known as the crate-feeding meth
cd. Take some Stats about an inch
and half wide-lath will do very
nicely-and make coop with fiat
top and a slat bottom, about is
inches wide, the same in height, and
long enough to accommodate the num-
Der of fowls you have to fatten. Al
low about six inches in length to each
bird. Divide your crate into sections
that will hold four or five fowls each.
Set it up on trestle-a couple of saw
horses make good supports-so the
droppings will fall through the slat
bottom and not soil the coop.
Now make V-shaped trough the
same length as your coop. This is
used for both feed and water. The
feed should consist of Underground
oats mixed to a stiff batter with skim
milk or buttermilk, preferably the lat
ter Feed this mixture three times a
day, but do not let 1t stand in the
iroughs. Give them ample time, say
half an hour, to eat all they want, and

PREPARE ANIMALS
FOR BEST RETURNS
Most Common Mistake Among
Farmers Is in Selling Product
Only Half Finished.

It is astonishing to observe during
a visit to the stock yards how little
care most farmers take in condition
ing their animals for market. The
most common mistake is made in
selling animals that are half finished.
Fully rs per cent OF all the animals
sold reach the markets in an unfin-
ished condition. This, more than any
thing else, is probably accountable
for the common belief that there is
no money in feeding livestock. Some
times stock is sold because grain is
high. At other times the available
supply of feed has been consumed be-
fore the stock is conditioned, but
more frequently perhaps, many feed
ers do not understand what we'll
conditioned means. With some feeders
1t is a case of going with the crowd.
No amount of reasoning can over
come the influence of that old proverb
that bird in the hand is worth two

Is a good shot. II he has judgment
and nerve he can Just as well bag
two birds at one shot as to miss the
one. If he has plenty of feed and
conveniences for handling his stock

MULCHING SOIL TO
RETAIN MOISTURE
SprinkIing Pot Should Be Thrown
Away When Water Becomes
Scarce Quantity.

When water gets scarce throw away
your watering pot, or rather your
sprinkling pot. At such time it is
a menace to the life of the flowers
when in the hands of the novice who
'scatters pearly drops" upon the
flowers stalks. and gives the roots
none.
Remember that when water is
scarce the spade or hoe can do won
ders when in the hands of the ener-
getic person who knows how to use
these tools.
Deeply dug soil retains moisture
far longer than that stirred to a
shallow depth
Keep the surface soil loose and
light, giving the plants a surface or
dust mulch with sharp hoe.
Mulches of all kinds are beneficial
fallen leaves, weeds pulled from
the garden, lawn clippings.
Potted plants should be thoroughly
watered so that the heart of the roots
receives its share of moisture. Bed
ded plants, however, can exist with
out watering, but il you give them
any, give them plenty.
The lawn should never be "sprin-
kled," but If possible let the hose run
on 1t for hours after sunset. Unless
one has an unlimited supply of wa
ter do not water the lawn, but save
the water for the bed borders and
vegetable gardens.
