BIG TOWN COSTS MORE
CITY COMMISSION ANTICIPATES
1T WILL REQUIRE S7f. 1000
DURING YEAR.

Madison's strides along m%etropol-
itan lines will mean an increase in
expenditure during the next fiscal
year of about 80 per cent over the
present fiscal year.
The city and school budgets which
were given their first reading at last
nights meeting of the city commits
sion, call for levies totaling $4,000
for general city purposes and SAL
600 for the school funds, the aggre-
gate being $71, 900. Last year $22.-
$50 was appropriated for city and
100000 for school purposes, making
the total increase for next year,
$1S,120.
The rate on taxable property last
year was EOS mills, and while the
levy this year is considerably larger
than it was for the preceding twelve
months, the rise i'm the rate will not
be in proportion, owing to a consid-
cradle increase this year i'm the as
sessed value Of real estate, personal
property. telephone, railway and eX-
press property. The assessed value

and the railway property at $219,530
divided as follows: Southern Mime
sofa division, $150,660; Madison di-
vision, SAB, 140. and Sioux Falls di-
vision. $25,730. The total assess
ment, exclusive of telephone and eX-
press property this year is $2,S41.-
906, as compared with $2,472,527
for the same items last year.
Increase i'm the city appropriations
are largely due to street and road
improvements. Improving of thor
oughfares connecting the Lake Mad
ison road and the business district,
the installing of storm sewer on
Egan avenue and the construction of
a permanent bridge across the creek
on North Egan venue are playing a
big part in the city's expense. The
natural growth of the city is calling
for additional outlay i'm sewers and
electric lighting.
The various funds are TO be appor-
toned as follows:
City and General Funds-Street.

rowing after rolling was not as good
as rolling alone, probably due to loos-
ening up the plants again after the
roller had pressed them firmly into
the soil.
Early spring rolling of winter
grain, pressing the earth as it does
firmly about the plant roots, produces
good results. When frost comes out
in the spring it is very apt to leave
the soil filled with small cracks or
checks, especially around the plants.
If these checks are closely examined,
it will be seen that a large number OF
roots are thus exposed, and if the
weather continues dry they are killed
or at least injured. If the soil is not
wet at the time Of rolling-and it
should never be rolled when wet-roll-
ing aids in no small degree to form
a surface mulch.
The Nebraska experiments, there
fore, point quite clearly to the con-
Clusion that under ordinary conditions
Of normal seasons in humid regions

by rolling to make the practice profit.
able, while narrowing is not to be rec
commended under such conditions.

The cause of and a remedy for clio

These facts are announced in Circular
No. 5, recently issued by the Ken

Red clover blossoms contain about
S.6 per cent of sugar, alfalfa blossoms,
2S per cent; white clover blossoms,
"a per cent. After being eaten by
stock this sugar undergoes rapid fer
mentation and is converted into car
bon dioxide. This causes the bloating
The authors of the bulletin strongly
recommend for acute bloating one
quart Of IL per cent solution of for
malin. After this is administered, a
wooden block should be placed in the
animals mouth, and the animal should
be given gentle exercise if it can be
got on its feet.
Formalin is a trade name for a 40
per cent solution Of formaldehyde gas

with which to drench an animal.

Arranaement Of Street Lamps.

A recent investigation of the rela-
tive merits of parallel and staggered
arrangement of street lamps is most
interesting, since it discloses that from
an ornamental viewpoint the former Is
preferable, while, from a utilitarian
viewpoint, the latter is preferable un-
der certain conditions. By parallel ar
rangement is meant the placing of
lamps so that they come opposite each
other, while staggered arrangement
means that the lamps on one side Of
a street are placed so as to come half
way between those on the opposite
side. In general, the staggered ar
rangement furnishes more uniform IL
Elimination. However, where the
street width is not much greater than
the distance between lamp standards,
the parallel arrangement is preferable.
In instances where the street width is
considerably greater than the spacing
of the lamps, the staggered arrange
ment will give the best results.-Sci-

FARM FERTILIZERS
HAVE GREAT VALUE
Barnyard Manure Improves Sol
and Makes It Easier to Han
dIe-0ther Benefits.

Burnyard manure has value on the
farm aside from that as a fertilizer.
1t improves the physical conditions of
the soil and makes it easier to handle.
Its decay produces heat and it's pres
.ence aids chemical and bacterial proc
esses. Moreover, it absorbs and holds
a large amount of water and helps to
aerate the soil. The benefits of these
indirect aids to plant growth are in
some cases worth as much as the fer
tilizing power of the manure.
These are observations made by F.
L. Kennard, agronomist in the North
west experiment station at Crookston,
in response to numerous questions re.
ceived from farmers.
When it is added that barnyard man
ure is worth perhaps $3.50 a ton, and
that each farm animal produces from
five to seven tons per 1000 pounds of
live weight each year, it is easy to see
that as a fertilizer the material should
not be wasted.
The best practice is to haul the stuff
directly from the barn to the fields. II
this is done, there is little loss through
fermentation or teaching.

WHOLE cows MILK
IS BEST FOR CALF
Indigestion Often Results When
Young Animals Are Raised
on Skim Milk.

Bg GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
Calves raised on skim milk are
usually runty, pot-bellied, and suffer
indigestion. Whole cows milk is a
perfect food for the calf, but skim
milk is not. When the fat is removed
a substitute is sometimes made by
adding handful of flaxseed meal or
cornmeal, but this sort of fat is not
a full substitute for butterfat.
It is still a debatable question
whether Il pays in the long run to
rob the future COW by stunting the calf
for the sake of immediate profits. The
practice of taking the calf Immediately
away from the cow is the usual thing
in the dairies and, assuming that it is
an economical thing to do, the ques-
tion is how to feed calves on artificial
food and keep them growing properly.
During the first few weeks the calf
Is not capable of digesting normally
any food save whole cows milk. If
he must Gubsist on skim milk, a little
daxseed meal or cornmeal had better
be, added to the ration. The milk
should always be given warm and
never when 1t is frothy. Calves should
never be given enough skim milk to
entirely satisfy their hunger. If indi-
gestion develops, they should be kept
on short rations for day or two. If
scours develop a little formalin added
to the milk, combined with a restrict
ed diet, will usually control it within
a few days.

For several years comparative tests
have been made by the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station of narrowing and roll
ing winter wheat, the following ac-
count of which is given by Mr.. E. G.
Montgomery:
Plats were seeded to Turkish red
winter wheat, some sown broadcast,
others put in with a press drill. Some
Of the plats were narrowed in both
fall and spring, while others were har-
rowed only in the spring, while third
set was rolled.
It was quite evident from the re-
suits that no benefit was derived from
the narrowing. In fact narrowing
broadcast wheat resulted in an aver
age loss of almost three bushels per
acre, while narrowing drilled wheat
resulted in a loss Of nine-tenths of
bushel per acre."
The results from rolling were con-
elusive. In no year did it fail ito give
an increased yield, the average in
crease being 81 bushels per acre."
The rolling was given early in the
spring, soon after frost was out, and
about the time growth started. Har-
