The three bills of SIS each for
the preparation of contracts for the
fire alarm building, city scale and
erection of a bell tower together
with bill for $25 for the "inspec-
ton of contract for State street i'm
provement" are the other items OBJ
iected to by the fifth ward alderman
He says he does no know what the
inspection of that last name con-
tract amounted to and in the case
of the fire alarm building and bell
tower contracts, he, as chairman of
the fire committee, was never OF
fered the bills for his approval.
These two bills. Alderman Clark
says are signed by Aldermen Patten
and Mcclure. Alderman Patten, he
further states. is not even member
of the fire committee, but he has
signed the bills.
There is state law governing the
appointment of a ely jail keeper
Alderman Clark contends, and there
fore the drawing of an ordinance by
the city attorney creating such po-
sition was unessential. A charge of
S25 is made for this work.

Way to Progress Is by
Use of Better Animals

The success attained in the building
up of a herd Of grade or Of pure Dred
animals will depend largely upon Lhe
care and understanding used in the
selection Of herd sires, say New York
dairymen who have made a consplcu-
ous success in improving their diaries.
The state college of agriculture at
Ithaca backs this up by saying the
average man must depend upon the
law that ''like produces like" and. Sc
lect animals for breeding purposes
that have the physical and producing
characters desired in the offspring. !
Were it possible always to use
proved sires, or sires with daughters
of producing age, little chance would
be taken in their selection. Unfortu-
nately too few proved sires are avail
able and most men must select a
younger, less expensive, and untrled
bull. In this selection, individuality
and pedigree should be considered.
Since there is a relation between the
size and conformation of an animal
and its ability to produce satisfactory
physical development and type must
be insisted upon.
A bull of good Individuality and de-
velopment whose female and male an
cestors in the near two or three gen
erations have made or have trans
mitted uniformly good productions,
averaging well above that Of the herd
to be improved, should be selected.
For grading, it would seem wise to
require that the females in sire's
ancestry should have at least shown
sufficient ability to qualify for adj
vanced registry. Such bull will
usually transmit to his offspring the
producing ability so common to his
ancestors.
Young and improved bulls Of excel
lent breeding may be purchased at
prices below their actual value.

Whitewash Cow Stables
Before Winter Sets In

It is a good time, before the herd
goes into winter quarters, TO give the
interior Of the COW stables a coat OF
whitewash. Whitewash makes the
stable light, it gives it a clean appear
ance and above all it cleanses the
walls and ceiling which SO often be-
come grimy and dusty, and make 1t
more difficult to produce clean milk.
Here is a good formula for white
wash that will stick well, recon-
mended by the dairy. department of
the state agricultural college: Stake
half bushel of unslaked lime with
boiling water. Cover during the
process to keep in the steam. Strain
the LIQUID through a fine sieve and
add a peck of salt previously dis
solved in warm water. Then add 8
pounds of ground rice boiled to thin
paste and stirred in while hot. Next
add / pound Of clear glue dissolved in
cold water hung over a fire. A half
pound of whiting will give it lustre.
To the above mixture add 5 gallons Of
hot water and leave standing for
few days, covered to keep out dirt.
Applied hot, pint of this wash will
cover square yard.

Bran and High Protein
Feeds Quite Expensive

Bran and high protein feeds are so
relatively expensive that the dalryman
who mixes his own ration will do well
to make full use of corn, cats and
barley, say the feeding specialists at
the New York state agricultural col
lege at Ithaca in suggesting good
dairy ration for the fall season.
AS reasonable a mixture as can be
made, they say, will consist of $50
pounds of corn and oats ground to-
gether, 800 pounds of oil meal and 200
pounds of gluten feed.
eff there ever was a time when the
value Of alfalfa hay shows up it is
this fall" say the men at the college
who are studying the situation. cal
falfa in the roughage will make it
possible to use 20 per cent of feeds
like corn, oats, barley and wheat in
the ration.
s'Many letters have come in on the
feeding of wheat. Wheat is very val
liable in feeding. We are not used to
it, that is all. 1t is like corn and
should be ground and used like corn.
It is practically as valuable, pound for
pound, as corn.
do not use so much as to make
the mixture too sticky when wet. Fiji
teen per cent is usually the limit,
though perhaps 20 may be used"

Emden-Toulouse Cross Is
Favored for Holidays

The cross of the African gander with
common geese is considered excellent.
This mating gives larger goslings than
common stock, and they make an at
tractive carcass when picked. The
Rhode Island experiment station made
some experimental crosses of geese.
The results are:
'1The Emden-Toulouse would appear
to be the best all-around cross for gem
eral purposes for both early and late
markets, and especially for the produc-
ton of large geese for the Christmas
and New Years markets. They are
large, hardy and, when dressed, pre-
sent fine appearance. The Emden-
African cross seems to be next in de-
STABILITY, and if goslings are sold early
in the summer, or before they are eight
weeks old, this cross would be prefer
able to all Others The Emden- White
China cross picked the easiest Of these
crosses, the birds were white when
dressed and, although small presented
the most attractive appearance"
