FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE
Some Arrangement Ought to Be Made
to Prevent Hogs From Dragging
Hay Around Underfoot.

In feeding alfalfa hay to hogs some
arrangement must be provided to pre-
vent them wasting the feed by drag
ging it around underfoot. A rack with
ends boarded up solid and sides made
apart for the hog to pull the hay
through will prevent waste. 1t should
be made light enough SO it can be
easily moved by hand to avoid having
the hogs always eat at the same
place. Quite broad bottom will be
necessary or the rack will get tipped
over too often for the owners serenity

WATER WORKS
WANTS CITY TO
GUARD PLANT

In a letter submitted by the Rich
mond Water Works company to the
board of public works today, it is
stated that the company plans to put
on six guards for it's pumping station
and reservoir, but it is pointed out
that this expense will amount to
about $500 a month, an expense the
company docs not believe it should be
expected to assume all Of. A guard
of soldiers is suggested
When Howard A. Dill, superintend-
ent of the company. appeared before
the board, Charles E. Marlatt, a board
member, informed him that he did not
believe so many guards would be
necessary.
It was finally decided to take no ac-
ton pending the action of congress On
the German situation. The water
company's letter follows:
Company Writes Letter
I'm reference to the demand OF the
citizens and your request that this
company place guards at the pumping
station and the reservoir, we wish to
advise you that this will require at
least six men. This will mean a
monthly expense of approximately
$500, not including necessary equip
ment and means of transporting the
guards for the reservoir. The reve-
nues of this company will not be suffi-
cient to provide for this expense.
This company is willing to assist in
the safeguarding Of property that is
vitality necessary for the life and pro-
lection of this city. but feels that It
should not be asked or required to
assume this entire expense. Other
communities are having this service
done by state troops, and this COM
pany feels that public property in this
city should be protected by similar
means. If troops from the Indiana
guard are not available, Richmond
should take steps to raise the neces-
sary troops to guard her interests.
This company has no desire to shirk
it's responsibilities in this critical
time, but wishes to present this mat
ter for your further consideration :
