COUNCIL TONIGHT
Ordinance Affecting Electric Signs VIII
He Discussed

City council will take up q number Of
important ordinances this evening.
Among them Is an amendment to the
existing building ordinance which will
permit electric signs to be hung a dis
lance OF 61s feet over the sidewalk. The
ordinance as IL now stands only permits
overhanging signs Of five feet in length
This ordinance Is understood to have
the full approval OF Fire Chief Burley
Thompson. 1t Is stated. however that
should signs OF any greater length be
permitted hey would seriously hamper
The lighting Of fire in the building on
which they are hung.
Another ordinance which has hung
fire for some time Is that cancelling the

ION DoWMY BEDS OF EASE"
oldtimers May Recall, With This Writ
er, Their Experience With the Old
Feather Mattress

Sleeping In n featherbed used to be
easy for me. did It very fuently.
i used to be able to sleep with one
under me and ene owe me.
That was In the upper and unfinished
half-story Of our country house that
was fitted with a better air-cooled sys-
TEN than any air-cooled a you W
rode inl The only heat In the house
was In a big fireplace 40 feet or SO
from where some of US slept In the cold
est weather.
The tin cup Of water sometimes set
In The window In case a Teller got dry
In the night would freeze solid and
have a frappe white wart In the CEN
ter. come morning.
And all over the part OF the upper
featherbed where my breath had been
distributed was o fine skating rink. A
little sloping, Il is true. but with zee
thick enough to hold.
These ticks were filled with geese
tracted from the epidermises Of re-
lnctant honkers. a bunch at a time,
through the spring and summer and
early fall months.
Sometimes when an inexperienced
g~oose-barber would jerk out some OF
the meat along with the basement OF
the feathers, the result was an unsa-
worry condition In the tick. which moth
ing would eradicate except a long
pendulous time over the palings.
The air would get In Its work In that
way. and the sleeper on or under said
bed wouid not have so many dreams
about roosting In a glue factory.
A few years & when l had become
mattress broke. I was parked In a
small room at a country hotel and
sicked onto a large embonpoint feath-
erbed. I looked at II a long time be-
fore taking the plunge. Finally l
jumped In and at once went beyond
my depth.
! sent up downy bubbles. trod feath-
ers, swan little-dog fashion, used the
breast stroke and the Australian crawl,
and finally. just AS I was about to go
down for the last time. I was guided to
the surface by the smell Of the seven
skunk-power oil stove, whereupon l
took q deep and much-needed breath,
grabbed a bedpost for safety, and got
out.
Then I tied two pillows TO M for
life-preservers and re-emharked, with
an old pair of candie-molds ! found In
the closet rs a breathing tube and peri
scope combined.
That was years ago, and even yet !

Under ordin~ry farm conditions
lambs should be made ready for mar
ket at from 3 to 5 months Of age.
When young they make a higher rate
Of gain and will put on the same
amount of flesh for less cost than when
they are Older Then. too. they will
make but small gains during the heat
of summer. and at this time parasites
are most troublesome and they are
thus more liable to losses from this
cause Risk Of accidents is always
higher when the lambs are held for a
long time. More feed is saved for the
breeding flock. and less labor Is needed
IL the lambs are sold early. Better
prices are obtained In the spring be-
cause of not having to meet the COM
petition of the western lambs that are
marketed during the summer and fall.
and In addition the grower gets the
use Of his money sooner by pushing
the lambs to a marketable condition as
fast as possible.

FEEDING SKIM MILK TO PIGS
Resume Of Many Tests Made for pur.
pose Of Ascertsining Most Eco
nomlcai Method.

A. good many tests have been made
for the purpose of ~ascertaining the
most economical way of feeding skim
milk TO hogs. A resume of the work
done flong this line at the Indiana.
New York, Iowa. Wisconsin and On.
tario experiment stations shows that
young pigs. that Is. pigs weighing less
than 100 pounds. may be fed as much
as three pounds of skim milk per
pound of grain, and by grain we NEAR
any u of the cereals fed singly. or
a number of them together. As pigs
grow Older the amount Of skim milk
should be reduced to about two pounds
per pound Of grain. The reason for
this Is that less protein Is required as
the pigs grow older and still less is re.
quired during the f~attening period.
