POULTRY CULLING

The poultry culling demonstration
held at the farm of L. M. Woodin Sep
TENDER 10th was pronounced great
success by those attending. About
fifty people came from different parts
of the county to hear F. c. Foreman,
poultry specialist from the Michigan
Agricultural college, give pointers on
how to pick the Stacker hens from the
flock.
The speaker spent about two hours
in giving the demonstration and when
he had finished those present were
unanimous in praise of Mr.. Foreman's
work. At the completion of the dem
onstration the entire flock of about
three hundred hens on Mr.. Woodin's
farm were culled and the most desir-
able ones selected for breeding pur-
poses next winter.
Mr.. Foreman has been prevailed
upon to return on October 3 and A and
will be available for a certain number
of focks on those two days. These
services come without charge to the
farmers.

Report on owosso Water Works.

That Owosso faces the necessity of
building substantially new water
works plant, and that total of from
$500. coo to $3.50, 900 must be expended
within the next two or three years on
that department, is the assertion made
by Prof. H. E. Riggs of the University
of Michigan. In his report to the city
commission, which was formally re.
ceived Mon ay. Prof. Riggs has spent
several months in going oyer the sys-
tenn and In making out his report.
Prof. Riggs goes into the history of
the plant and traces the growth of
water main mileage from 1913 miles to
3l.8, the present mileage. He points
out that the plant is now 80 years old.
old, the average life of such plant.
He also asserts that too much small
sized water mains have been used and
recommends larger sized belt line OF
mains extending around the city.
Prof. Riggs gives figures to show that
figuring on the basis of $500 year
depreciation, the loss each year Of the
plant for ten years, from 1909 to the
present has varied from $7,6l9 to $1l,
385 annually. He recommends that
deprecis ton fund of SO, 500 be set ,aside
each year.
He claimed the water supply is mad.
equste. but is doubtful as to this after
recent examination. He practically con-
dennis the entire system to the junk
pile, but the Owosso suthoritief do not
agree with him and it is not probable
that the enormous expenditure will be
approved.

TURN STREETS OVER TO

partment as trunk highways, through

be Washington from Main to Corun-
ma avenue; Main street from Washing
ton to the west city limits; Shiawas-
see from Main street to the north city
limits; and Chapman street from Main
