Low Bidder Threatens
Tammany With Law

5 disclosures that the Tammany
Board of Water Supply juggled
bids for the largest contract ever
awarded by that body in order that
one of the favorite Tammany con-
tractors might secure the work,
were made yesterday with the an
aeuncement that the unsuccessful,
though low bidder, would take the
matter to the courts.
The contract which calls for the
payment by the city of S42,692,8 1867
was recently awarded to Patrick
McGovern, Inc, for years one of
the insiders in the Tammany ring,
and is for the construction of a
water supply tunnel from Yonkers
to the heart Of Brooklyn. The other
firm whose low bid was rejected
was the Del Basco Construction
Company.
In order that the McGovern COM
pany might secure the award, the
Tammany Water Supply Board
split the contract into four parts,
Immediately awarded two sections
to the McGovern firm which the
Board announced were the lowest
bid and then permitted the same
firm of insiders to revise its bids on
the other sections. Thereafter the
whole contract was awarded to this
company.
The Del Basco Company has an
nounced that it will take the matter
to the supreme court.
The method pursued in this deal
by Tammany has been the practice
particularly in awarding subway
contract awards out of which Tam
many insiders have been exposed as
making many millions through ex-
cessive charges.

How Much Water,
Should Baby Get!
"A Famous Authority's Rule
by Ruth 8rdttaaa
by Ruth B1itf1i1a

Baby specialists agree nowadays,
that during the first six months, babies
must have three ounces of fluid per
pound Of body weight daily. An eight
pound baby, for instance, needs TWEEN
ty-four ounces Of fluid. Later on the
rule is two ounces Of fluid per pound
of body weight. The amount of fluid
absorbed by breast-fed baby is best
determined by weighing him before
and after feeding for the whole day;
and it is easily calculated for the bot
tle-fed one. Then make up any de-
ficiency with water.
Giving baby sufficient water often
relieves his feverish, crying, upset and
restless spells. If it doesn't, give him
a few drops of F1etcher's Castoria.
For these and other ills of babies and
children such as collie, cholera, diar-
rhea, gas on stomach and bowels, con-
stipation, sour stomach, loss of sleep,
underweight, etc., leading physicians
say there's nothing so effective. 1t is
purely vegetable-the recipe Is on the
wrapper-and millions of mothers
have depended on it in over thirty
years of ever increasing use. 1t regu-
lates baby's bowels, makes him sleep
and eat right enables him to get full
nourishment from his food, so he in
creases in weight as he should. With
each package you get book on Moth
erhood worth its weight in gold.
Just a word of caution. Look for
the signature of Chas. III. Fletcher on
the package so You'll be sure to get
the genuine. The forty-cent bottles
contain thirty-five doses.

Raising Dairy Heifer
: Outlined in a Leahet

Keep them growing and develOpingl
This general advice to livestock grow
ers is emphasized particularly in re-
gard to the dairy heifer after it has
reached the age Of six months, in
Raising the Dairy Heifer," just pub
lished by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, as Leaflet No
AL. Since the heifer does not yield
an income until she has freshened, the
department advises that she be fed
literally in order that she may de-
velop rapidly and be bred for fresh
ening at the normal age for the breed.
The leaflet gives suggestions for
summer and winter feeding, for pas
turing and for supplemental rations
of .legume hay, silage and grain un-
der various conditions of dairy farm
ing. 1t also gives the proportions de-
sirable in mixed-grain feeds for calves,
suggests the proper summer and win
ter quarters, and advises as to the
proper age for breeding. In conclu-
sion it mentions the desirability Of
handling the young heifer occasionally
and teaching her to lead so that she
is not likely to be shy and fearsome
when she enters the dairy herd. 1t
is wise to accustom her to the halter
and stanchion. A little care at this
time often prevents considerable
trouble after calving and usually tends
to make the COW gentle and tractable.
Leaflet No. AL may be procured
free on application to the Department
Of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.

Broadcasting Soy Beans
Often Quite Successful

On land that is not very foul with
weeds and when handled properly, and
the season is not very wet, broadcast
soy beans are often successfully
grown. especially if to be used for
hay. There is more risk in growing
them broadcast, however. A better
way to grow them is, to sow the seed
IN rows so they may be cultivated.
One difficulty that comes from broad
casting and covering with drag Is
that seeds as large as soys are not
likely to be covered well with drag.
and this gives poor stand. The
seed costs too much to be wasted in
this way.
Soys may be double planted with a
corn planter that is set for wide rows
of corn. Cultivation can be done
with one-horse harrow or cultivator.

Good Yellow Corn Very
Needful in Mash Feed

Good yellow corn is very important
In mash and scratch feed. Difficulties
experienced with coarsely cracked
grains have caused some people to
not use it as much as would other
wise be the case. When corn is
cracked, 1t should be sifted' and the
finer parts put into the mash. The
remainder should then be used as
scratch grain. Moldy grain should
always be discarded. If fine parts of
cracked grain are not fed in the mash,
it will not be eaten and will mold on
the floors and other damp places
where fed. Corn can be used liberal
~ when properly balanced with other
feeds. II is rich In vitamines, oil and
carbohydrates but lacking in protein
and minerals.

Farmers Elevators
Doing Big Business
Grain Handled Had Value
Of About $3.50, 100000.

1 prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
More than 50O.OOO,O0O bushels Of
wheat, corn, rye, and other grains
were handled by 1881 farmers eleva-
tors reporting to the bureau Of agri-
cultural economics, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, for the 1926
q marketing season. This grain had
sales value of approximately $780,
100000, and was handled for approxi-
mately $4,000 farmers in the five inn
portant grain-producing areas Of the
United States.
The 1881 associations operating
the elevators reported paid-up capital
to the amount of $57,OOO.OOO and sur
plus Of nearly $25,0OOOOO. The total
investments In buildings and equip
ment amounted TO nearly 100000, 600
The associations have about 100000
stockholders. most of whom are farm
ers. Many Of the associations buy
farm supplies for their patrons this
business in side lines totaling nearly
$170000,O00 last year.
The reports show that during the
1926-27 season about 81 per cent Of
the associations paid dividends on
capital stock. In addition. about Is
per cent of those reporting paid out
patronage refunds to their patrons.
/, Considering these facts and also the
fact that SO per cent of these farm
ers' elevators had financial SURPRISES,
while but II per cent reported def
cts, there is justification for the
statement that farmers elevators as
whole are in satisfactory financial
condition at the present time.

Hints for the Farm


Be sure to tie your wool clip with
paper Irvine.
Prepare comfortable shelter for all
classes of live stock.
Sow a row of summer ratlishes and
learn how good radishes can be in
August.
Fertilizer may be put on lawns,
rhubarb, asparagus and around per-
ennial plants.
Watch for the first fight of plant
lice and shoot them quick with nIco-
tine preparations. Get the first ones
and the rest will be easy.
Onions, the vegetable that was once
the outcast of society, have at last
been restored to the high position
they should occupy. Plant, plenty Of
them.
What tastes better than the first
few meals of new potatoes? You can
have 'em two or three weeks sooner
by starting 40 to SO hills in the hot
bed. in berry boxes.
Plant onion sets or the young green
onions that you can buy most every
where now for that purpose, to use
early. Plant seeds for your main
crop. Those from the sets don't keep
SO well.
