COUNCIL DEFEATS
 PAVING ORDINANCE
l Gadsden Must Overcome Dust Evil on Forest Ave
 nue-Large Bond Issue

Gadsden, May 19.-(SpeciaL )--For the second time in a year the city council last night declined to pass an ordinance providing for paving Forest avenue over a protest of majority of the property owners Alderman Jackson had secured petition asking for the paw ing signed by majority of the prop erty owners Capt. J. M. Elliott pre- scented protests signed by majority, some names being on both papers. As the latter presented the latest signed document 1t was considered, and the ordinance was lost by a vote of to 2.
 warm discussion was held before the vote was taken, being led by Col. R. B. Kyle, Captain Elliott, $. s. Caldwell, pr. C. L. Guice and others. The eoun- cil now faces the problem of over coming the dust evil on the streets. Clouds of dust make travelling danger ous al points. E. T. Schuler of the Ala bama City, Gadsden and Attalla Rail- road company has offered to co-operate with the city in sprinkling the streets on which his cars operate.
 To discuss the feasibility of holding dli ttiSCtiOH III EloWdh COHAey Oh ehS cn5 on of issuing $300.000 in bonds f. good roads. a mass meeting of citi- zens of the county has been called to meet at the courthouse Saturday, May 30. This action was taken last night at the Chamber of Commerce smoker at the Printup hotel. It also was decided to try to devise means by which much expense may be eliminated in the eoun- ty government. The plan to build a model road from Attalla to the Mar shall county line was indorsed.
 A franchise was granted by the coun- cil last night to the Alabama Power company to run its line to the plant of the Gulf States Steel company. Through the use of the electric power the com pany will be enabled to install about $40, 900 worth of new machinery.
 A strange sentence was imposed upon Tom Brown this morning by Judge J.. A. Bilbro. Brown must walk through the streets of Alabama City daily ask ing for work in the gardens. He was convicted of violating the prohibition law, but his condition made 1t imprac- ticable to put him in the chain gang.

SOME POINTS ON GETTING S
POULTRY READY FOR WINTER

dull of eye and narrow of breast OF
stern, those that eat as though ii
were a task instead of a pleasure
should be separated from the others
and prepared for market as soon as
possible, but they should not be fat
tened in the same pen with the Gull
eockerels. They will do much bet
ter by themselves, and 1t will be
better for the cockerels, too, to keeg
the two separate.
1t is a mistake to kill all of the
yearling hens every fall or to get rid
of them in any way, though many
breeders do 1t. A few hens will lay
we'll in their third year and amply
pay for their keep, besides furnish.
ing the very best of eggs for hatch
ing, and many hens will pay good
profit the second year from eggs fof
market alone.
Those that have laid we'll the first
year and show little or no diminutioH
in activity the second summer will
be profitably kept through the second
winter IL well provided for. 1t is bet
ter to keep them separate from the
pullets and watch them carefully
and get rid of any that are not lay
ing we'll by December, after moult-
ing. Do not try to force them, but
give them plenty of green food and
some meat, keep a vigorous cockerel
that is strong in the points where
they are weak, and your eggs are
likely to hatch well and the chick
ems to be strong in the spring. Do not
use pullets' eggs for Matching pur-
poses when 1t can be avoided. You
may have good luck with them in
every way, but the chances are very
much against it.
When you look your yearling hens
over in the fall, and those that are
older, If you have any, give them
thorough inspection for physical de-
fects. If you have many hens there
are likely to be some that have dis
tended crops, or that bag down be-
hind, or that have sore backs either
through roughness of the cock birds
or from other causes, or that show
signs of weakness in one way or
another, and these should be quickly
sent to market to avoid serious diff
culties later. If there are signs of
disease that is likely to injure the
carcass the bird should be killed and
buried deep. 1t will not pay to at
tempt to cure such birds unless they
have peculiar value as breeders, and
even then the result will be of doubt
full value.
Get rid of all your weak birds be-
fore winter sets IN IN real earnest and
give your strong healthy birds the
additional room. Be sure they are
free from parasites at the outset, and
keep them SO, giving them variety
of food, including meat and green
stuff of some kind, and plenty of 1t;
keep the quarters clean and OCCASION
ally dispose of a bird that Is not
coming up to your expectations as
layer, and there is no reason why the
egg basket should not contain an
abundance of eggs all winter long.

and its white variety S. bifolia, and
others that are we'll adapted for grow
ing in the grass. None, however,
is so valuable for effect as the com
mon bluebell, which spreads sheets of
azure in the woods in the spring time
of the year.
Grape hyacinth, muscari, is the
plant of which Ruskin wrote, that it
appeared "as If cluster of grapes
and hive of honey has been distilled
and compressed together into one
small box of beaded blue" 1t is a
charming little plant, with it's lovely,
small conical heads of tiny, clustering
blue flowers, and is very good sub
ject for naturalization. 1t succeeds
best on q bank where the grass does
not grow very vigorously, and the
bulbs should be planted close together,
so that when in flower they may pre-
sent a solid sheet of blue. There are
a number of species, but the best form
for naturalizing is undoubtedly
Heavenly Blue, which is easily grown
and is suberb in color
Fritillaria Meleagris, the snakes
head fritillarfa. bears purple, check
cred. dropping bells on slender stems,
and there Is a very beautiful white
variety, which is to be preferred to
the type. 1t does well in cool. damp
meadows. When once established, it
spreads rapidly. The Crown Imperial,
Fritillaria imperialis, is a very hand
some and robust plant, when suited
in its requirements, often attaining u
height of over three feet. 1t bears
large, dropping bells of clear yellow
and orange-red, which hold drops of
moisture suspended within them. 1t
Is popular border plant, and will
also succeed in the wild garden, if
given an open. sunny spot and sup
piled with rich soil, but it is we'll for
the first two or three seasons to keep
down the rough vegetation growing
around it. SO that it may become
established.
Several of the anemone family sue
coed admirably in the grass and in
open glades in the woods, where the
vegetation is not too strong. The
beautiful wood anemones carpet many
a copse with their starry, white
flowers, and the blue form, known as
A. Robinsoniana. with blossoms of a
delicate silver-blue tint, is, without
doubt, the loveliest of the family, and
will show an exquisite picture on 81
sunny bank. A ranunculoides Is a
pretty little plant, growing about four
inches high and bearing bright yellow

UNCLE SAM MAKES TABLE
SYRUP OUT OF APPLES

stricted in many cases to localities
near the area of production. No
method of sterilizing ordinary cider
has been found practical for the rea-
son that boiling cider at once inter-
feres with its delicate flavor.
With the cider mill able to make a
palatable, bookkeeping table syrup
out of its apple juice, growers, it is
believed, will be able to use all excess
Juice for bottled or canned apple
syrup. The new syrup. the special
lists find, will keep indefinitely, so
that the cider makers can market it
gradually throughout the year.
The process for making the syrup
calls for the addition to cider mill
of a filter press and open kettles or
some other concentrating apparatus.
The process is described as follows:
The raw cider is treated with pure
milk of lime until nearly but not
quite all the natural malic acids are
neutralized. The cider is then heated
to boiling and filtered through a filter
press, an essential feature of the
process. The resultant liquid is then
evaporated either in continuous
evaporators or open kettles, just as
ordinary cane or sorghum syrup is
treated. 1t then is cooled and al
lowed to stand for short time,
which causes the lime and acids to
form small crystals and calcium
malate. The syrup is then refill
tered through the filter press, which
removes the crystals of calcium
malate and leaves a syrup with prac-
tically the same basic composition as
ordinary cane syrup. Its flavor
however. and appearance are dis
tinctive.
Calcium malate, the by-product, is
o. substance used in medicine and at
present selling for 81 per pound 1t
is believed that If calcium malate
can be produced In this way cheaply
and in large quantities it can be
made commercially useful in new
ways, possibly in the manufacture OF
baking powder.
The cost of making this syrup on a
commercial scale will be determined
during the test in October
