WlLLMANTIC
TAX OF FIVE MILLS.
Amendment to Make It More Lost City Finances Expiained-No Ac- ton Taken on "White Way

The special city meeting called to lay a tax and to take some action on the proposed white way for Main street was called to order in the town hall Wednesday night at S.10 by Mayor Daniel P. Dunn with over 200 in at tendance.
 City Clerk A. c. Scripture read the notice and warning for the meeting. after which Corporation Counsel Thomas J. Kelley made a statement as to the financial condition of the city. previous to the consideration of the question of taxation.
 Expenditures of around 900 were authorized by the last city meeting. although it was not expected that the whole of that amount would be need ed. Half the year has gone by and it can be seen that ST1,000 will about cover the expenses. In addition, the widening Iof Main street will take about S2,000. Let us call the amount necessary for the year SS0,000 in round numbers
 There are two ways of raising this amount, direct taxation and the other avenues of the city departments. A five mill tax on the grand list will raise S63,672.36, six mill tax about S76,o0O. The resources of the city were enumerated and their estimated total shown to be about s12,5 ,500. A nVe mIlF tax WOulQ IneFeIOre not meet the necessary amount by s3,400. A 1-2 mill tax would leave a surplus of nearly s3,00O. and a mill tax would leave balance of approximate ly $9.200.
 There are now outstanding city bonds to the total of s200,00O. Oct 31, 1913, the sinking fund amounted to S52, ,450.59. The sinking fund will never catch the bond issue, for since 1905-06 the fund has not gained except through interest accumulation. There are also water bonds to the value of s175,000. The sinking fund was a trifie over $27 900, increased to $37, 900 Jan. 1st. It will probably amount to $40, 900 by next October. when S50.0O0 of the bonds fall due. A one-haIf mill tax raising over S6,000 in addition to the amount necessary for current ex- penses, together with the amount on hand, will take care of this issue.
 In addition, there is always a float ing indebtedness. due to the fact that

LITTLE SPRING PIGS.
Profitable and Easy to Grow.

A SOW with several little pigs can be conveniently and prof1tably maintain ed by the average suburban house holder The sow and her brood can- not only be kept by the surplus waste from the kitchen, but the pigs in November or December will prove a good source of supply for fresh meat; then, too. some of the pigs may be sold at a profit.
 Tho feeding and care of the pigs is as important as the breeding in pro- ducfng good hog. Plenty of feed and good care may make a good hog out of a runt. but the lack of it will always make runt out of good pig. Young pigs must have dry bed and plenty of sunshine. Begin feeding them as soon as they will eat and keep them we'll fed until they are ma ture. Always keep plenty of clean, fresh water where the pigs may drink at any time. The more milk SOW will give the faster her pigs will grow.
 Hog lots should be built where the sun will shine in some portion of them at ali hours of the day Sunshine is one of the greatest factors for de- stroying germs and keeping down dis eases. A supply of clean, fresh water at all times is essential. The trough should always be kept clean and not so much feed given at one time that 1t would be left in the trough to pe- coma sour and filthy. The 3troughs should be frequently washed and placed where the sun will shine in them. This is especially true of those used for feeding small pigs. Clean, dry straw should be placed in every house for bedding, as it is essential that the SOW have a warm, dry bed when she farows. Many young pigs are lost each year from cold and ex- posture at throwing time. The young pigs must be kept warm, dry and should have plenty of sunshine until they are several weeks old.
 The Proper Shelter.
 A good shelter for little pigs during the summer months may be made by setting four poles into the ground and securely mailing by inch material around these about three feet from the ground, and upon these few light poles may be put croSswise and straw or coarse hay piled on top.
 If the pigs show indications of scour- anr keep a mixture of charcoal Gone blisheD, hardwood ashes lone busheD, salt (eight pounds), air slaked lime (eig71t pounds), sulphur -four pounfls) and pulverized copperas (two pounds) where the hogs can eat it at will. This is not only & good remedy for SCOUTS, but is one of the best preyentives for worms
 It is also well to remember that pork is more in demand than either beef or mutton, and the danger or oyerstocking the market is remote.

the taxes are collected six months af- ter they are laid.
 In response to a question by NJ. F. Lincoln, Mir. Kelley stated that the SS,000 spent at the ice works nearly covered the increase in expenditures this year over last. which is approx imateIy ss.0o0.
 George F. Taylor moved a tax of 5 mills. to be due and payable June 1st. 1914
 F. Frank Bugbee amended to read 6 mills. one-half mill to be set aside and placed in the sinking fund to meet the water bonds due and pay able Oct l, 1914
 C. A. Capen spoke in opposition to the amendment preferring that the city borrow $10,0O0 to pay the bonds, saying it would be met in the course of the year.
 William Vanderman favored 6 mills as he said he believed in paying the debts which had been contracted
 NJ. P. Lincoln opposed 6 mills es he thought the whole cost of the ice plant should not be borne in one year.
 After considerable discussion and strong pleas by Messrs Bugbee and Kelley that the present taxpayers pay the expenses of the present, MT. Bug bees amendment was lost by viva Voce vote. and the motion of Mir Tay- Tor laying a mill tax prevailed.
 The next proposition taken up was that of the proposed white way" Without discussion it was voted to take no action on this matter The meeting then adjourned, shortly after g o'clock.

LABOR SAVING DEVICES
Making the Farm Work interesting.


 I knew a progressive orchardist who developed a very good direct6.s fruit trade in a region where formerly all the fruit that was purchased came from California, and he did this en- tirely by the use of his automobile. He removed the tonneau and used a body fitted with racks for the baskets. HIS local roads were very good, and ne was able to pick the fruit when the dew of early morning was on 1t ana to deliver it to his consumers in three neighborfng towns in radius Of h1- teen miles by midmorning.
 Leading dairy farms that formerly wasted horse and man labor in con- veying their dairy products to the ing motor trucks The motor has Eifally increased>the efficiency of man, and with the machine maintained under good conditions its operator can perform as much work as three ordinary teams and drivers formerly did. The automobiles colt" the motorcycle, should particularly recom- mend itself to the agricultural public, for on every farm the most modern machinery always finds fattering ap- preciation and ready application.
 Power Machinery Interests the Boy.
 I have frequently talked with many farmers sons who ascribe their keen interest in the old homestead to the fact that power machinery, including the automobile, motor truck, motor cycle, gasoline engine and farm light ing or watering system, has been placed in their charge. Farmers the country over who utilize the automo- bile for both pleasure and business purposes are of the staple, conserva- tive type.
 A Wisconsin farm boy uses ack attached to the rear frame of his lno- torcycle in which he is able to carry two milk cans and several bags of feed or seed The motorcycle isof inesti- mable value in running errands, in getting repairs quickly done when a machine of any sort breaks down or as a means of calling the doctor in

FEEDING GROWING STOCK
The Mash Plays Leading Role II
 Feeding.
J. W. KELLER.

It's a puzzling question to many what to feed and how to feed after the critical period-the first month of a chicks life-it safely passed. The foundation is laid. What will we build on it? Parent stock. housing. range, sanitary arrangements--thes and host of other conditions each play their own important part in the answer, but the keystone of all is proper feeding.
 The mash plays the leading role in most present day feeding, and rightly SC, for we can secure in this form feed that is most accurately balanced and easily digested, offering greater va riety, greater economy, quicker results and the highest percentage of digesti- bility. For the growing chick, having been gradually weaned from it's baby chick food, the following will make an excellent mash:

When to Feed the Grain.

For a scratch grain we must resort first to the three great staple grains of the poultryman-corn, wheat and oats-and these should be mixed in equal quantities (by weight) for chicks having free range. For those which are confined. however, a small amount of variety of other grains, such as millet canary seed, barley, etc, may be added, and this should be fed about the middle of the morning, scat tered on the ground or among the litter, and again in the later afternoon. These fine grains are chiefly valuable as inducing exercise and afford1nS slow nourishment.
 It is almost unnecessary to state that a plentiful supply of good, fresh, cool water must be before the chicks at all times, and in addition if they are not on free range greens and grit must be provided.
 The above system of feeding, pro- vided other conditions are fairly nor nal, will grow chicks which will have the health, vitality and capacity that will mean much future profit,
