YEARNS FOR AN INQUIRY

Through careful search OF the
records of Water Department reports,

that the two plumbers who were dis
charged by the department, which
Councilman Haney in City Council
last night objected to- we're not the
only men dismissed by the depart
ment. Mr.. Haney ascribed the dis
charge of the plumbers to politics.
Previous TO the discharging of the
two plumbers, Patrick Collins and
Thomas Travis, on May z, the de-
partment dropped John Black, mes
scnger, and James Anderson, a

Both are Republicans
AT the time these last two we're
laid off nothing was said about poll
tics. the reasons for their dismissal
being the same as those given in
the plumbers cases The reason was
lack of work TO keep the men busy.
While officials of the Water De-
partment this morning declined to

Why Some Poultrymen Fail.

While there is a great proht in rals-
ing poultry, failure of special poultry
farms is frequently reported.
Lack of proper investigation before
going into the enterprise has been the
usual cause OF lack of success. Then,
too, perhaps, bad locations, lack OF
the necessary amount of capital, care
less investment, improper choice OF
breeds and character of buildings had
a great deal TO do with the trouble.
Some of the essential features in
the successful handling of poultry
farm are the development of the
young stock, proper feeding, proper
marketing, the right kind of labor,
etc. Specialization in poultry is just
as profitable as specialization in any
other branch of agriculture. A care
full account of expenses and receipts
must be kept, so that check can be
made from time to time on the bust
ness. Moreover, poultry in small lots
are very adaptable to people not in
the best of health and particularly to
women, who are adapted to the rais-
ing of farm fowls.

BE SURE AND KEEP DAIRY
COW CLEAN.
Problem of Sanitary Milk Supply is tc
Exclude All Bacteria Possible.

Milk from healthy cows is practic-
ally free from bacteria when secreted.
The problem of sanitary milk sup
ply, therefore, is to keep out all bac-
terra as far as possible. Bacteria are
introduced into milk mainly by small
particles of dirt which either drop into
the milk from the COW or are carried
in the air
Repeated tests have shown that
even when COW is cleaned as thor
oughly as is possible under stable con
ditons, particles of dust will be
thrown off from her body during the
milking time, and these get into the
milk and contaminate it, Cows should
be kept away from sources of contain
nation, such as sink holes in which
stagnant water accumulates, for such
holes breed enormous numbers of pu
trefactive bacteria which are especially
dangerous to infants, causing digest
i've troubles There should be no
places in the barn yard for water to
stagnate. The manure should be kept
gathered up, and every other effort
made to keep the COW free from con
tamination.
The COW should be thoroughly
cleaned, preferably Immediately be
fore milking. 1t is also well to clip
the hair short around the TANKS and
udder, and always advisable to moist
en- the TANKS just before milking.

Benefit of Crop Rotation.

While all of the causes of low
yields of the small grains cannot be
removed, practically all that are O
immediate importance can be con
trolled in large measure by a wei
planned system of crop rotation
When crops are grown in rotation ant
proper tillage methods are followed
they will suffer less from dry weather
than when they are grown continu
ously. Crop rotation is usually OF
more importance than the methods o
tillage used in this respect, although
both are important. In most rotation,
more roughage is produced than car
be disposed of by the work stock or
the farm Hence more animals must
be kept and more manure produced
to return to the land to keep up the
supply of active organic matter

Grain Needed for Poultry.

Grain is the staple food for poultry
and will be used for that purpose "a
long as fowls are kept on farms; but
hens cannot give good results on
grain alone. 1t is beneficial to them
says the Fruit Grower, and will be at
all times relished, but the demand OF
the hens is such as will call for vari-
ETY.. In the shells of eggs, as we'll as
their composition, are several forms
of mineral matter and nitrogen, which
can only be partially obtained from
grain.
Even grains vary in composition
and when fowls are fed on one kline
for long time they begin to refuse
it, as they may be oversupplied with
the elements in the food partaken and
lack the elements that are best sup,
piled from some other source. For
this reason they will accept change
of food, which is of itself an evidence
that the best results from hens car
only be obtained by variety of food
Corn and wheat may be used as food
with advantage, but it must be giver
as portion of the ration only, and moi
made exclusive articles of diet.
