read as follows:
Contract and Assessment"
"Section 180-When the Council
shall authorize any improvement de-
scribed in section It's of this chapter
it shall cause the work described In
said order to be let and done by con-
tract, as in this charter provided, or,

WHY SOLDIERS "GLAD RAGS"
Old kaspar's Remark Seems to Pretty
Well Cover the Modern Idea as
to Warfare.


Old Kaspar's work was done and he
before his cottage door was sitting
in the sun.
"Oh, pretty, pretty!" exclaimed his
little grandchild Wilhelminesa some
soldiers marched by, going to war.
They're sure pretty" assented old
Kaspar, knocking the ashes out Of
his pipe.
BIT" objected Wilhelmine, grow
ing lave all at once, does not their
gay apparel make them easy marks
for the enemy's shot? Would not
soberer habiliments lessen the slaugh-
ter in battle?"
Owing to your sex" old Kaspar
rejoined, you don't know much.
Can't you see that these glad rags and
shiny guns serve to stir the patriotic
ardor OF those who stay at home and
pay the taxes? OF course, it doesn't
matter how many men are made
crows meat in the front, so long as
the money keeps coming. Soberer
habiliments, indeed"
And old Kaspar laughed scornfully.

PROVIDE COMFORTS
FER THE POULTRY
Few Suggestions Which Cannot
Fail to Be of Much Assist
anCe to Any Farmer.

Economy of floor space, simplicity
OF construction and convenience in
handliSg the fowls which means q
saving of labor are the essentials to
be observed in the arrangement of
the interior of the hen house
Roosts located in the waFmest part
Of the house, generally as far as pos
sible from the front, are the most sat
isfactory. If they are placed on d
level there will be no tendency OF the
birds to crowd on the highest. Valu-
able fowls are often injured or killed
by falling when crowded from the
roosts. Roosts should be simple in
construction, easy to handle and firm.
Poles may be used to advantage, pro-
yided they are two inches in diameter.
Two-inch by four-inch material placed
on edge with the upper corners round
ed make sensible and satisfactory
roosts. Generally these may be set
in notches along the back of the
mouse, making them easy to remove
for cleaning. They should be placed
wall and one foot apart. Often the
roosts are fastened TO cross pieces
in the form of a frame, these pieces
being hinged at the back
BY raising these the cleaning OF
the dropping boards is often made
easier. When hens are apt to perch
during the day they can often be en-
couraged to use the scratching floor
by raising the rocEts. The height of
the roosts from the floor depends
largely upon the breed of fowl and
upon the height of the house. For
heavy breeds, two TO three feet is
as high as the bird can safely perch,
while for lighter breeds four or even
five feet is practiced. Eight to fifteen
inches of roosting space should be
allowed for each bird
The use of the drOppings platform
is strongly advocated because it in
creases the size OF the scratching
floor and also because the manure is
easily saved in this way. The plat
form, however, must be cleaned reglI-
larly. If the p0ultryman Is not willing
to take this extra care it would be
better to have the floor beneath the
rQosts surrounded by a partition to
prevent the birds scratching among
the droppings. The platform should
be placed low enough TO make clean
ing easy. Flooring is the most salts
factory material to use for the plat.
form.
Darkened nests are the most desir-
able, for they not only furnish seclu-
sion, which a hen desires, but also
tend to lessen the amount of egg eat
ing, habit more frequent with the
use of open nests. Portable nests also
facilitate cleaning.
A common method of installing
nests is to place them under the edge
of the dropping boards. This is a
very convenient way. and little mate
rial is required TO construct the nests.
The hen enters from the rear and
the door may be let down from tbp
front to remove the eggs.

chances for error in estimating the
doses Of serum to be injected.
Provide a box or table on which to
place the bottles of serum and virus
dislnfectants, syringes, etc, where
thew will be convenient but not likely
TO be upset.
It is even more important that the
hogs be kept clean and dry after vac
cination, to reduce to minimum tne
chances for injecting the needle
wounds.
Get the hogs into on Enclosure
where they can be caught without
chasing them. This should be done
before the arrival of the veterinarian.
Special attention should be paid to
the feeding of the hogs after Vacclna-
tion. Corn should be excluded from
the diet entirely for at least week.
Give reduced rations of slightly Taxa
tive feeds
Watch the hogs carefully for at
least three weeks after vaccination
especially if the double treatment has
been used. If all goes well for three
weeks. there is little to be feared
later on.
If any hogs show signs OF sickness
following the double treatment, they
should be isolated from the rest OF
the herd. Sometimes another dose OF
serum will save them.
II an abscess forms at the point OF
injection. it should be opened prompt

Very few assesses should occur,
however, if the foregoing rules are
followed.
Good serum properly used is very
reliable and has saved hogs worth
millions of dollars, but large quantities
of impotent or contaminated serum
and even limitations of serum have
been used in many states with bad
results.
There is no known cure or prevent

that can be recommended for hog

in sufficient strength may have some
value in preventing cholera simply by
destroying virus on feeding floors,
