foot, and pays reasonable income at
that price. The adjoining property re-
quired is certainly not worth cent
more, although the present price is
prohibitive, and for that reason the
city will be compelled to resort to
condemnation proceedings to secure
possession. Property on Main street
between Second and Third has been
on the market to within three months

takers.

Plans Made on Lots.
Three plans have been presented
to the directors for the plating AMI
selling of the lots on the Rein tract.
The committee which is known as tho
real estate committee and which will
have full charge of the plating, ana

composed of H. Boyden Blood, Thomas
H. Joyce and J. w. Winger.
three plans proposed are as
follows:
Ffrst-To plat and sell the lots
without any Improvements.
Second-To improve the lots,
put in streets, sidewalks and

company has outgrown it's present
quarters on johnson street between
Tenth and Eleventh. What to 40
with this growing industry was dis
cussed by the directors, after G: ).

between Main and Blondseau on First
street. Vehicles would then have to
make seven percent grade to get to
First and Main street. From First and
Main to Second and Main, the grade
is very steep one, as everyone
knows. The new plan would bring
the approach to within one-third Of a
block from the summit of the hill, on
an easy grade to Second street.
This would practically secure for
Keokuk its dream of years, a high
bridge, the directors believe.
If the property has to be purchased
the directors are confident that the
property will be worth more to them
than they had to pay There would
be triangular strip, 70 feet on Main

the buzzards do not carry OF the little
pige or injure the SOW. Give her Q
warm. thin slop a. soon as she begins
to move around. Then leave her alone
for Q while. That evening give her a
slop with q little bran or cornmeal In
It. Feed lightly for Q few days and
Increase her feed gradually until the
SOW Is getting about four pounds Of
grain each day for each 100 pounds Of
her weight. This will be within a week
or ten days after she has farrowed.
She should be fed morning and eve
ming. Kitchen scraps and slops will
be good for her and will reduce the
grain needed somewhat. These slops
must not contain any soap or glass.
As corn il the most available grain
In most sections Of the South, 1t will
have to be relied on for feeding both
the sows and pigs. With the grazing
crops which are suggested for hogs
fairly well-balanced ration will be OBJ
tanned.
When you are about ready to wean
the pigs reduce the sow's feed so that
by the time the pigs are weaned she
will have only about two pounds of
grain each day for each 100 pounds of
her weight. Keep her on a Bermuda
pasture and let her have this ration
until she is in good condition. Keep
sows in good flesh, but not excessively
fat
Sows can be made to produce two
litters each year. When this is de-
sired they should be bred at the first
period of heat after the pigs are
weaned. Sows bred twice each year
