CITY MANAGERS IN ILLINOIS
Plan Is Growing In Favor Eight
States Now Have Laws Dealing
"a IN With the Matter. n

Glencoe and Winnetka have operated
successfully for some time under the
city management plan, In spite Of
handicaps They have felt the need
Of specific statutory; authority and have
been somewhat embarrassed by the
presence Of certain elected minor off,
Gals who are not under the jurisdic-
ton Of the village trustees. For this
reason many cities and villages wish
( to adopt the commissioner manager
form Of government. Il &c
The plan Is to be made applicable to
cities or villages not exceeding 5O0O 900
@nopulat ion-that is, TO all municipali-
ties Of the state except Chicago. Un-
der its terms the city or village coun-
ell would consist Of the mayor and
Our conmissi oners, to be elected. All
administrative and executive powers
would vest in a city manager appoints
ed by the council for an indefinite term
at compensation fixed by the council
and subject to removal at the coun-
& ellis pleasure.
Eight states now have laws Of this
sort in successful operation. They in
clude New York, Massac husetts, Iowa,
Michigan, Ohio and Kansas. Notable
instances of successful use of the man
ager system are found in Dayton and
Springfield, o., and Niagara Falls,
N. Y.
Only one feature appears to vex the
student Of municipal government. This
relates to the payment Of salary to
the mayor, whose functions would be
largely observation-disclosures he is to
be member of the council and Its pre-
siding officer and fees to the other four
commissioners for each meeting at
tended and for time spent on city COM
mittee work. Yet it is quite possible
that the absence of such emoluments
would tend to make available f0Il
these positions men Of high class and
marked ability Chicago Daily News.

ADDING VARIETY TO RATION
Feeding Alfalfa Hay Before Cattle
Run on Pasture Is Especially Good
in Avoiding Bloat.

CBy r. H. WILLIAMS, Animal Husband
man, Arizona Experiment Station)
Stockmen have proved to their own
satisfaction that it pays to have some
alfalfa hay before cattle run on alfalfa
pasture. This is especially beneficial
in avoiding bloat and adding variety
to the ration. The animals seem to
get tired of succulent feed and wish
a variety. On this account it is al
ways wise to have 4 feed rack either
in the lane or in the field where the
animals may receive the dry feed.
Dairy cows especially will relish few
bites of the hay night and morning.
1t is q simple matter to keep this hay
in the dry lot adjacent to the barn
where the COWS may eat before md
after milking. Better gains will be
made in the young stock and also COWS
will yield more milk and do better if
allowed alfalfa hay while on pasture.

cient growth so that heifers may profit
ably be bred to freshen at two years
Of age. 1t is seldom desirable for a
heifer to freshen at an earlier age.
In deciding upon the time to breed,
the size and development should be
given greater consideration than the
age, since it is important that the heif-
er have good growth by the time she
freshens. However, if allowed to be-
come too mature before breeding, es-
pecially in the case of animals that
are heavily fed, there is sometimes diff
ficulty in getting the heifers~in calf.
1t is undesirable to have cows fresh
en- during the latter part of the sum
mer, because their milk production
will be seriously hindered by hot
weather, flies, and dried-up pastures.
Rather than have heffers freshen dur
ing the summer months, it is advisable

CAUSE OF DISEASED UDDERS
Bitter Taste and Rancid Smell in Milk
Traced to One Cow in Herd
Gases of Sore Throat.

Dairymen have occasionally been
puzzled by q bitter taste and rancid
smell in milk, produced. under sani-
tary conditions. 1t has been found
that such conditions can arise from
one COW in the herd with a diseased
udder and a bacterium has been isO-
lated as the immediate cause in the
milk. The bacterium credited as the
disturbing factor is said to belong to
the group lactis aerogenes. On farm
in Wisconsin they found three cows af-
fected with maStitis to which was
traced the cause of 200 cases of severe
sore throat among the persons using
milk from the herd.

MUST RAISE DAIRY CALVES
visabIe That Farmers Begin
Raising Their Own.

If we are to increase the number
of COWS, as seems advisable, some
farmers must raise calves of the dairy
type. 1t is hoped that many farmers
will decide to begin raising. COWS and
producing dairy products. The first
essential will be food for the family,
then a surplus to sell, then soil fer
tility which will be possible where
cows are kept.

rapidly boiling water which has been
salted, and allowed to cook until every
grain stands out by itself, is tender
and yet not mushy. Now take a cup
full Of cooked rice, put layer of 1t
in a well-buttered dish, then cover
with a small layer of chopped chicken,
giblets or any minced meat, with a
broth or white sauce well seasoned
and added with each layer. Bake until
thoroughly hot and serve as main
dish or as a substitute for meat. To-
matoes, with onion and little chopped
beef and rice, prepared in this way is
another good dish.
Swedish Rice.-BOil cupful of rice
until tender in salted water. Drain
and dry in the oven. Stir into it two
tablespoonfuls of sweet fat, the yolks
of two eggs we'll beaten, teaspoonful
of onion juice and salt and pepper to
taste. Stir over the fire in dish set
in hot water, using a fork to stir with.
Turn into a round bowl to mold, then
unmold on a platter and heat in the
oven. Serve with drawn butter sauce.
Rice With Esgs.-Take a quarter of
a cupful of washed and drained rice,
add tablespoonful Of sweet fat and
stir until a light yellow over the heat.
Add broth, potato or any other vege-
table water, and cook covered until
the rice is tender, then season well
and stir in two or three fresh eggs;
stir until cooked, then serve at once.
This dish tastes like scrambled eggs,
but very few eggs need be used to
serve five. Milk may take the place
of the broth in cooking the rice Skim
milk may be used in many such dishes
TO advantage.
A small amount of boiled rice added
to gems, mullins or griddle cakes i'm
proves them. Plain boiled rice dressed
as mashed potato will serve as a vege-
table with steak. Rice made into
cakes and fried, Or into croquettes and
served with a sauce are well-liked
dishes.

The age at which heifers should

freshen. Although the larger breeds
do not mature at so early an age as the
smaller ones, in most cases it is pos

Control Your Conduct.

The worst kind of unhappiness, as
well as the greatest amount of it,
comes from our conduct to each other.
If our conduct, therefore, were under
the control of kindness, it would be
nearly the opposite of what it is, and
so the state of the world would be
almost reversed. We are for the most
part unhappy because the world is an
unkind world. But the world is only
unkind for the lack of kindness in the
individuals who compose it.-Fred.
