motive. MT. Gillett closed his re- marks by stating that he would car ry the buildings only one story if
 the Council or public saw fit to con-
 demn the buildings. Mr. Ewalt introduced letter, written to him as a private citizen from Attorn- ey General W. L. Moose, in which he
 stated that the City had no right, under the law to condemn the build iags, unless it could be proven that
 down, and then only if the city had
 aa ordinance covering the erection or buildings within the city limits;
 he stated however. that the City Council might enjoin Mr. Gillett from proceeding with the erection until the matter could be further in- vestigated, but that the City would have to show a good cause for such an action.
 Mir. Mathews, who has the con- contract for the brick work on the buildings was present and stated that he believed the nine inch wall was entirely safe, and while 1t was not general practice to erect 2-story business houses with a nine inch
 wall that he thought in this case, the buildings would be perfectly safe. He further said that there was no question in his mind but what the walls would stand and be entirely safe.
 J. " Carter, the local contractor for brick and stone work was pres ent, and when asked for his opinion stated that he did not care to be brought into the discussion, but he did read from a builders book, differ ent specifications used in the diff ferent cities and none of them quoted
 were for as small as nine inch wall for two stories. Mir. Carter further said that 'u the construction of brick
 buildings that the wind pressure must 1 ba considered, as we'll as the fact that the joists might buckle, and cause the wall to give way.
 Wilson Cardwell, an interested citi-
 zen was also present, and when call
 ed on by Mayor Lane, stated that he did not know there was any agitation
 up over the buildings being erected by
 Mr. Gillett, but thought the meeting
 was called for the purpose of find 1 ing whether the persons present were
 game cocks or banties.

city of Rogers contained several
 business houses, two stories in height, that were of nine inch walls He stated that the architect told him that a nine inch wall would carry up. providing the front. where the large iron girders are to rest should
 be made 3 inches. Mr Gillett in
 speaking of the work that has al
 ready been completed on the two buildings, stated that he had been censored publicly on account of the foundations Of the two buildings, that persons had publicly stated that the foundations were placed at the wrong time, that they were crumbling, had been frozen, and were soft. In asserting that the founda- tion was all that it should be, Mr. Gillett stated that the foundation was constructed of concrete, with an IS inch footing, and was 12 inches in tht clear.

Quite q little discussion was in dllged in by other parties, Alderman Beeley sfating that he did not think the walls were hardly strong enough to hold the extra weight, and he would recommend thirteen inch wall in the center, 40 feet back, or ten feet farther than the second story. J. NJ. Southerland, one of the managers of the Majestic Theatre, which has leased the east building for a picture show was present, and stated that the two buildings /had been condemned by the public, and that he feared parties leasing the buildings would find it detrimental to their business unless the walls wer made at least thirteen inches. He stated that the buildings were al- ready condemned in the eyes of the public, and that public opinion was a hard condmenation to overcome, un- less the walls were changed. MT Gillett then offered to go back thirty feet with the middle wall, and make it thirteen inches, and tentatively this proposition was adopted by those present, and Mir. Gillett then opened the way for waterworks meeting, and the first gun in 1915 towards waterworks and sewers for Spring dale was fired,

Al derman Ewalt further said that fl Mir Gillett was constructing the wrong kind of buildings that it should be condemned, but if he was erecting the right kind he should be commended. The two buildings are each 90 feet long and p feet wide. MT Ewalt said that in talk with Architect Clark during the after noon he found that building in which nine inch wall was considered proper, should not be over 55 feet long and Is feet wide. and that Mr. Clark told him building as large as this one should have at least 12 inch wall. and that he did not believe the building was safe and did not recommend 1t.
 MT. Gillett, who is erecting the buildings was present, and was called on for remarks.

EACH INDIVIDUAL PIG GETS ITS SHARE
Side Elevation Of Weaving Trough.

9 inches in length and weighs only
43 pounds, making it very convenient
for one man to handle. This trough.
constructed as cheaply and as dur
ably as possible. is sufficiently strong
SO that the pigs cannot break it to
pieces.
The accompanying illustrations
show the detailed plan of construc-
ton. Lumber seven-eighths inch
thick is used in constructing the
trough, with the exception of the
floor and ridge pole. The floor is
made from one-inch stuff, while the
ridge pole can be made from a piece
Of lumber two inches square dressed.
The following bill of material is
necessary to construct the weaving
trough:
One piece / inch by l foot by II
feet for the floor and ends. The end
pieces can be dressed down to seven
eighths inch.
One piece seven-eighths by 4 inches
by 16 feet for the two sides.
One piece 2 inches square by s feet,
dressed, for the ridgepole.
One piece seven-eighths by IA
inches by Is feet for the partition
pieces.
Total number Of board feet, 20.
Thirty-siX screws az inches, No.
81 to fasten the partition pieces.
Fifty-two nails (S-penny); IA used
to fasten each end piece to the ridge
pole, sides and bottom; l. used to
fasten each side piece to the floor OF
the trough.
A weaving trough constructed like
the II described in this article will
aid each pig to get his share of feed
and will also insure comfort to the
pigs while eating. a feeder can
handle a well-built trough and carry
it from place to place much more cas-
lily than he can a clumsy, poorly con-
structed one.

CONDENSED NOTES OF DAIRY
Carefully Selected and Prepared Hints
Intended to Assist Farmer
With Herd of Cows.

prepared by Dairy Division of Clemson
.College.)
Using the milk scales is n
weigh" toward dairy success.
Skim milk makes pork. veal and
poultry of a high grade.
There is practically no food quite
so generally wholesome as pure milk.
In planning a dairy barn, allow not
less than four square feet Of light
space for each COW.
Try to have the COWS calve in fall
rather than in spring. There are many
advantages in this.
Never trifle with a bull. Treat him
gently, but treat him firmly. Let him
have no doubt that you are his master.
Cows, while in heat. should be kept
separate from the rest of the herd.
This will avoid disturbances.
The manure ~spreader has the double
advantage of paying for itself in saw
ing of labor and insuring an even dis
tribution of manure on a field.
Overlooking, lack of exercise, impure
air. constipation and drinking cold
water are probably the most common
causes of milk fever.

Young pigs, just after they are
taken away from their dam, should
be given their feed in such a name
that each individual pig gets it's share.
The simplest way to accomplish this
is to allow the pigs to eat from a
properly constructed feed trough;
n that will keep the pigs out OF the
feed and will lessen the possibility
of crowding the little ones out of
their rightful allowance.
The weaving trough shown above is
used with good results on the govern
ment experiment farm at Beltsville,
Nd. This trough is large enough to
hold a quantity of slop sufficient to
feed 20 weanling pigs weighing. ap-
proximately 50 pounds. 1t is only
three inches deep, thus enabling the
pigs to get at their feed very CON
veniently. The construction of the

FOR EXHIBITION
Essential Requisites for Success
Are Given Herewith.
Of Much Importance to Select Perfect
Specimens and to Have Jars and
Preserving Liquid in Readi-
ness Before Gathering.

The preparation of fruit in glass for
exposition purposes is only successful
" accomplished by a few who have
made a study Of it. There are certain
fixed formulas in use, and practice
makes perfect.
The essential requisites to success
follow:
It is very necessary that the fruit
be first properly prepared. DO not
handle the fruit with the bare hands,
wear a pair Of soft wooden gloves;
clip the fruit from the i or tree,
leaving the stem. Wash 1t under a
spray or hose of cold water to re-
move all dust or foreign matter; hang
by the stem until thoroughly dry.
Be sure to select perfect specimens.
placing them in the preserving liquid
"a to 48 hours. Before thoroughly
ripened nave your jars cleaned and
ready. also preserving liquids proper
ly prepared before gathering your
fruit. After fruits are prepared set
in a cool, dark place. Always use dis
titled or boiled water. but rain
water.
Don't get discouraged if the first
tempt does not prove successful, but
keep experimenting until you do sue
coed. Don't fail to properly label the
specimens, giving name. variety. where
and by whom produced.
The formulas follow:
For berries and all fruits-Clear
water white kerosene is frequently
used with good results with straw.
berries, blackberries, raspberries and
currants. Be sure that no drops OF
water remain on the berries.
All fruits and vegetables-To every
gallon of water add one-half unc
corrosive sublimate. This has given
good satisfaction with nearly all kinds
of fruit and vegetables and should It
become clouded or dim can be re-
newed. Must be handled with caution.

For firm, smooth-skinned fruits
