SAVED ON
SNOW FETHERSTON
street Commissioner Replies to
Charge That $1,000 600
Was Wasted on Work.

Street Cleaning Commissioners rether-
ston answered the assertion OF the
bureau Of city inquiry that $1,000. ooo
had been wasted in the removal Of snow
during the last winter by declaring yes
tcrday that a statement that 5000. 0oo
had been saved would have been nearer
the truth.
Two years ago he said. when thc
old system of snow removal rs trucks
was in force. 5.o0o.0 geo cubs yards Of
snow were removed at a cost Of 81 500
600. or so cents "A cubic yard. in round
figures. Last winter about 10000 .0oh
cubic yards III snow were removed, at
"A cost of $4,000. 600. or 20 cents "A cubic
yard. Under the new system of using
automobile snow ploughs and sewers for
snow remove during the storm. the
truck removal after the storm. streets
were cleared at about four times the
speed and AZ half the cost of previous
methods
As to the employment ot men from
other departments IA snow removal
work. Mr.. Fethorston says the cos Of
employing these men during regular
working hours was only so per cent. OF
the cost of employing outsiders Tor the
am work, because tho one saved In
departments from which tn" men were
assigned offsets 10 that extent the charge
against SNOW work.
Thus he said. IL a clerk receiving
$1,000 "a year were employed on snow,
any time saved in his department would
60 to the general fund and the charge for
his services would appear on the snow
rolls. the difference htween the two rep
resentlng the actual Cost for the mans
services on snow during regular working
hours"
Replying 10 the assertion that 500, o0o
was wasted ON contract snow removal
the COMMISSIONS says the awards for
carting snow wer. made to the lowest
bidder and that the price in Manhattan
last year, thirty-sevcn cents a cubic yard,
was the lowest price for this class of
work ever paid by the city.

reau of city inquiry. replied 10 this tato-

Very seldom does he consider buying the COWS that the farmer Is willing to dispose of but he ferrets out those that he is confident are the real pro ducers and, be it said to the credit of his shrewdness, he usually gets what he wants.

 LNARY GRAHAM BONNER
BARNARD BIRTHDAY PARTY.

T don't believe you ever heard be- lore of little boy who had all his Birthday parties in the barnyard-or at least the Birthday parties he called the real ones. To be sure, his mother sometimes had number of his little friends come to take supper with him on his Birthday-and they didn't have supper in the Barnyard-but the party he called his real Birthday party was given in the barnyard.
 This year he even invited his friends to come to his Barnyard party But before l go farther, I must tell think he was sorry that it wasn't Fur key-or Guinea Pig-or Rooster!"
 "Oh. Daddy" laughed Nick, you're making up now, aren't you?"
 "Well-perhaps he was glad his name was Bob and not Turkey, but anyway he was more devoted to the barnyard animals than to anything else. And I must tell you about this party he gave.
 First of all, he had told his friends to come to the Barnyard. and that he would nave surprise for them. And the day of his Birthday they all ar rived.
 'He had had many talks with the animals, of course, beforehand, and, had told them of things they must do. In fact, he had been teaching them some tricks. He didn't teach them hard tricks at alias he thought it was cruel to try to make animals do really hard tricks-besides he liked the simpler ones just as we'll.
 When all his friends had arrived they were shown right out to the Barn. yard. There was Bob, and all around him with the Geese, the Pigs, the Fur keys, the Chickens, Hens, Boosters, Ducks and all the rest of the Barn. yard family. Some of the old Mothers and Daddies of the Barnyard families watched from their resting places, for

sALTINe IS NICE OPERATION
PossIbIe-Used for FIavorin0 and Preserving.

Salting the butter is a nice opera tion which requires considerable knowledge and care to be done prop erly. In the first place. the butter must be washed until entirely free from buttermilk before the salt is added. The salt should be as near absolutely pure as can be purchased and the finer it is the better. One ounce of salt to one pound of butter, added to the butter gradually and well worked in, is the rule.
 It is advisable to permit the butter to stand after salting for 24 hours if possible, then work it over and put it in prints or pack it for market as de sired. Salt is added to butter with a twofold purpose. First as fiayoring element and also as preservative. Water holds in solution an enormous quantity of salt and the salt in butter absorbs the water which persists in the butter in spite of much work and makes the product proper as it comes to the table, nearly dry. The amount of water in the usual sample of butter runs between 10 and 12 per cent. There is no step in the production of good butter more important than the salting.

BETTER STANDARD OF DAIRY
Farmers Allow City Dairymen to Pick Out Best Producers in Herd
 Quality Deteriorates.

It seems to be true that the quality of the farm dairy herds is of much lower standard in practically every way than those of the city dairyman. This really works to the detriment Of the farmer and yet he is to blame for the whole thing. The city dairyman who must buy all of his feed knows that he cannot afford to keep a COW unless she Is real producer. therefore he goes out into the country and per suades the farmer to part with the very best COWS in his herd. The COW is taken to the city and worked as hard as possible until she begins to fail, when she is sold to the butcher All of her calves have gone to the same place and thus we see that noth- ing whatever has been done toward building up the standard of the dairy animals of the country.
 Circumstances make it necessary that the city dairyman should make very close study of the business and

SCARLET TANAGER IS SINGER
Not Only Is His Song Sweet, but Lit tie Bird Is Easily Famed and
 Makes Nice Pet for Boy.

When you see this bird, with his black and scarlet coat on, among the green trees, you will think he is only a flame of fire instead of living bird, and this is why he so often is called ''the fire bird" French people call him the cardinal" on account of his very bright color. But did you know that birds with the brightest plumage are not the best singers in the world? This cannot be said of the tanager. for his song is very sweet In addition to his good quality he is easily tanned and makes nice little pet.
