CONCESSIONS ARE WORTH
81 ,oOO,OOO, SAYS COMPANY

In exchange for the blanket franchise
the company offers to surrender to the
city all the separate franchises under
which 1t Is now operating In the city,
and all rights OF way owned by il in
fee simple. In addition to these the
company offers to transfer to the city
the Marshall. First and Fifth Street
viaducts, and Forest Hill Park-a
tract OF about 100 acres. In it's petition
to the Council the company values these
concessions at approximately s., 900. 900.
So far the most bitter opposition to
the proposed new franchise has come
from the East End. where quasi politi-
cal organizations have held meetings
and adopted resolutions calling upon
the Council to refuse to grant n fran
chise with longer life than ten years.
and to oppose any change in existing
track arrangements east Of Eleventh
Street.
Opposition of another kind has come
from tho Workingmen's Protective AS
ISOLATION, which has held numerous
meetings and given its approval to
platform opposing n franchise grant of
any kind and declaring for municipal
ownership of the city's street railway
and light and power utilities.

ORDINANCES:

Gil ana the public. II has been publicly
stated by representatives Of the COM
pany that certain provisions of the ten

II is quite generally understood shat
IN Its suggested franchise the Virginia

one ID granted by the Council, will be
the product of concessions By both sides
and may differ In important respects
from the tentative and incomplete in
strument now In the hands OF the COM
mittee.
Those Councilmen who have dis
cussed the matter unofficially are uni
formly OF the opinion that a properly
drawn blanket franchise in which the
public would be adequately protected.
would benefit both the company and the
city. All are agreed. however, that the
preparation OF such an instrument will
require much elaboration and close
study.

ABOUT POULTRY,

The hens should be busted with a
good insect powder. Many of the pow
ders that are sold are no better than
dry earth, having lost most Of thei1
efficiency You can make a good lice
powder by taking three parts gasoline
and one part crude carbolic and mix
ing 1t with plaster of paris. Put a little
Of the liquid on to the plaster of paris
and mix thoroughly till 1t is dry. Then
apply to the feathers of the hens.
Geese ought to be shut up to fatten
for a month before they are killed.
To get a successful result it is most
essential to keep them eating all the
time, and to do this they must be care
fully watched at feeding times, and
any bird which does not respond to the
call of the pail should be given a tea
spoonful of warmed castor oil at once.
Have you plenty of good clover or
alfalfa hay, and have you been buying
wheat bran for your hens? If SO you
have been throwing away your money.
Not all of it, but you have wasted
good deal nevertheless. Alfalfa is vir.
tually as rich feed as bran Good
clover hay is almost as rich. In some
respects these feeds are preferable to
wheat bran, for they are not so irritat-
ing to the bowels.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFlELD

In managing a small tract Of land
for any purpose there are advantages
In keeping a flock Of sheep. These
animals will return a satisfactory
profit and add to the value of farm.
1t costs little to feed or shelter them,
they keep a place clear of weeds, they
increase rapidly and there is a con-
slant demand for lamb, mutton and
wool. While they are good kind Of
live stock on any tract Of land, they
work into the plans and conditions Of
a small farmer especially well.
Sheep are docile and easily cared
for. Most of the care they need is re-
quired when other farm operations are
slack. The main thing needed is a
woven wire Enclosure for them at
night to keep dogs away from them.
The returns from sheep are quick and
many, profits made principally from
pasture with little concentrated feed
to finish up on, very small amount
as compared with the grain feed nee
essary to finish other farm animals
for market
In breeding only the best and breed
ing for quality you increase the profits
from sheep keeping still more. In

HALF OF ALL FOREST FIRE PRE-
VENTABLE.

WASHINGTON, July,12 1915 With the
opening of the season of fire danger on
most of the national forests, the forest
service is sending broadcast warning
that more than half of the forest fires in
the United States are due to carelessness
or other preventable causes, starting
from campers, railroad locomotives,
brush burning, incendiaries, and saw
mills.
This statement is based OF an analysis
of statistics compiled from the forest fire
records of the last season. when more
than 1000 fires were reported on national
forests alone and approximately 10000
on State and private holdings in the
eighteen States which received federal
cooperation in fire protection under the
Weeks law, namely, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connec-
ticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland,
West Virginia, Kentucky, N chigan.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota.
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
Forest fires destroy millions of dollars
worth of timber and other property every
year, and in some years cause consider
able loss of life. 1t has been estimated
from the best information obtiinahle
that forest fires last year burned over an
area of approximately 100000 acres
with a total loss of at least 50. 500, 600.

AS to future settlement Mr.. Bennett
said: The Allies ought to state their
minimum terms of peace now. Because
it is inevitable that America will have a
large hand in the final arbitration.
"And America proverbially sympa-
thizes with the under dog; so there is an
undercurrent of feeling that America,
the chief arbitrator, is likely to say: BE
easy on the Germans. They've had an
awful beating
Fundamentally Mr.. Bennett thinks this
is war between the Germans and the
English
Descriptive of the present British
spirit and attitude, he said: THE mar
vellous thing is their logged resolution
in taking reverses. The more you pound

for unloading and hosting hay and
other products. Another great saving
of labor III the use of electricity is in
serving washing machinery, carpet
cleaners, sewing machines, fans and
appliances for cooking and for heating
laundry irons, none of which could well
be served by any agent other than
electricity. In addition to it's use for
power, electric energy, which has to be
supplied to the motors either from an
outside source or from its own central
plant, may be utilized for light and
warmth.
Where connection cannot be made
with Il local electric distributing com
pany, the farmer should have his own
electric generating station, which may
be operated by water, steam, gas,
gasoline oil or windmill power. Where
a stream runs through a farm or is in
the neighbOrhood, cheap power, both
as regards the first cost and operating
expenses, may be derived from this
natural source.
Another source of energy for genera
ton of electric current for farm and
country residences is the windmill
The early Dutch windmills were built
with sweeps from fifty to hundred
feet of swing in diameter, but our mod
ern American windmills have a sweep
of only twelve to eighteen feet, and
generate more power than the early
Dutch mills with less attention.
All the above prime movers can be
connected to electric generators by belt
gearing or couplings, and their control
may he accomplished automatically,
so that little attention is required
The greatest amount of energy be
ing used in the daytime and the load
for Illumination being small and want
ed principally in the evening, it is
4 therefore not profitable to run the
prime movers except during the day.
The use of storage battery is there
fore Of great service in supplying en-
ergy at periods Of small demand, when
the generators are shut down. In con
nection with the storage battery, and
with the new development of the low
voltage tungsten lamps, the cost and
size, as well as the maintenance ex
pense, may be considerably reduced by
proper engineering.
The main feature i'll which the great
advantage of farm operated by cleo
tricity lies is that the farmer himself
has ut all times under his direct control
the entire supply of electric energy be.

public service corporation or supplied
