Curtailing of City
 Expenses

 sented it's budget for next years operations it's figures were ten per cent higher than for the
 current year now ending. Mayor lLocken urged that the Board should curtail it's expenses ter per cent this year rather thar increase them but the members ,of the Board insisted that it was ipared right down to the bone
 and that it would detract iron,
 the efficiency of the school t.
 cut any further. The action o1 Ithe Council sustained the re- ,oueSt of the Board.
 The citizens of the town are demanding curtailment Ol taxes this year. With the present learning power of every home and property owner down to the lowest limit in several years there is every reason to urge that expense of city government also
 be lowered.
 It matters not what city that meets this problem. The only way to cut operating costs is U
 cut the spending power of the several departments-wages ot
 city employees, lowered costs ot
 city constructions and permit 1 ting only a minimum of neces- sary new construction. The be- ginning of curtailment must start some place and that begin ming should not be left until ali ether year has rolled by.
 By next September the figures presented by the e Territorial | treasurer will indicate virtually
 minus balance. Before the year rolls around the city will have to finance all it's school operations notwithstanding any statements by territorial officials at this time. To meet the obligations oI the city expense without terri torial aid will be difficult mat ter and to continue the problem until checked forthwith is not going to make the problem any the easier.
 The only way to cut down cost Of city government expense is to cult spending. Mayor Locken has indicated his desire and has
 used fair argument to secure the cooperation of the city's forces to cut down on expenses. He has the support of the citizens of the town in this matter and now
 needs the cooperation of the
 City Council.

There Is An Acute
 Need for Relief

Throughout the nation poppy sales are being held for the re- lief of veterans of the World War aild their dependents. Returns from these sales are spent to make easier the problems Of these victims of the greed Of nations and lust for blood. The American Legion and the Le- zion Auxiliary is carrying on work through the sale of peoples that this nation has chosen to forget and through which neg lect many are in dire need and without proper disqualification
 Sale of these poppies permits veterans to keep the faith with the comrades left sleeping meath the sod of Flanders fields. Widows and orphan dependents are provided with homes and sustenance and educational op- portunity; it offers limited in : come to those veterans of the World War who are unable to earn money any other way.
 The relief funds created by the 1881 sale of poppies has long since been exhausted as a re- suit of the serious unemployment situation of the past year. The distress among veterans and de pendents has never been more acute, and their resources more severely taxed than this year in the administration of some mea- sure of relief to the veteran needy" is the declaration of the officials of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 The citizens of Alaska are in deed more fortunate than the peoples of the states. Depression has struck the territory with full force but not without having given ample warning to curtail expenses in order to be able to cope with the trying times. Those more fortunate than the victims of the World War are able to purchase more in proportion to other sections of the country. Inasmuch as simple humanity makes its plea to the more for tunate for aid, the generous hearted Alaskans will not turn a deaf ear to the pleadings of the the less fortunate. The drive for the sale of peoples will be on shortly. Every one is urged b give every assistance to relieve tho acute situation due to the present world depression and pa9 Uaxx

Best Results Only for
Careful Poultry Raiser

The properly balanced ration accom-
plishes wonderful results when fed to
stock that is rightly bred, well man.
aged and correctly housed.
Houses and equipment, such as
brooders, feed hoppers, drinking pans,
ETC., that are sufficient to accommodate
100 chicks will not take care of 500.
Satisfactory growth cannot be made
under such conditions. Growing stock
needs lots of feed; provide a good
grain feed and good growing mash
in hoppers so the birds can get it.
The condition of a carcass when it
is marketed depends almost entirely
on the way the bird is cared for up
to the time it is killed. This means
the way in which it is grown and the
way it is fattened for market.
A poorly grown bird will not take on
weight satisfactorily it's digestive or
gans have not developed sufficiently
to handle the more or less concentrat-
ed feed that is fed during the fatten-
ing period, nor does the bird have the
vitality to stand up under this fatten-
ing process.

Looking to Herds Future

When selecting herd sire the fol-
lowing points should be considered:
Only pure-bred bull should be used;
the production Of the ancestors of the
bull, especially that of the dam and
the dam of the sire should be high; the
individuality of the bull and his an
cestors should be good; the production
of the daughters of the bull, or Of re
lated cows. should be high; the stock
man should pay enough to get bull
that will improve the herd; proven
bull is more dependable sire than
young untried bull where two or more
farmers purchase bull in partnership
they can we'll afford to get a better
bull than where each buys one; the
dam of the bull should have better
record than the best COW in the herd.

Bran as Hav Substitute

Hay was a good crop in most Sec
tions last year and the quality was
good, also. Nevertheless, there may be
some of our readers who were short
Of good hay this winter. If such is
the case, it might be well to know
that bran at the present low prices is
a fairly good substitute.
If possible, some hay should be fed,
of course, but if there is plenty of
good silage, and when bran is cheap as
it is at present, the amount of hay
may be cut down or almost eliminated
without damage to the cow.-American

GOOD MARKET FOR
SPECIAL PRODUCTS
Demand Solves Problem of
Extra Butterfat.

(By r. j. RAMSEY, College of Agricul-
ture. University of Illinois.)
Many farmers are making money
marketing their surplus butterfat in
the form of whipping cream, sweet
cream butter, honey butter and other
special products which are easily pre-
pared on the farm.
Sweet cream butter was originated
to meet the demands Of the housewife
for a very high-grade product. 1t re
quires no equipment that is not used
in churning sour cream. However, the
flavor of this butter is so mild and
aellcate that only the very highest
quality of sweet fresh cream can be
used. Even the feed of the cows must
be watched carefully to avoid unde-
sirable feed fiavors. All milking uten-
sis, and even the separator, should be
sterilized with boiling water each day
before being used. If boiling water is
not available, chemical sterilizers,
such as bleaching powder, may be
used.
The milk should be separated imme-
diately after milking and the cream
cooled to 60 degrees. The cream must
be kept cold until churned in order to
prevent sOuring and to make churning
easier. 1t is best to churn every other
day, provided enough cream is avail
able. Sweet cream is somewhat hard
er to churn than sour cream, so it must
be aged at low temperature for sew
eral hours before churning. For this
season of the year the churning tenn
perature should be about 80 degrees
The churning should be stopped
when the granules of butter are the
size Of wheat kernel. The butter
milk then should be removed and the
butter covered with fresh cold water.
The churn should be revolved a few
times, the rinse water removed and
the washing repeated. The butter is
removed and placed on a chilled but
ter worker and worked until no mois-
ture is visible in large droplets. Care
should be taken not to overwork it.
Only fine grade of butter salt should
be used in sailing it, as table salt is
likely to cause grittiness.
If sweet cream butter is not sailed,
it may be made into honey butter.
This makes a delicious spread for
those who like honey. 1t is made by
adding one pound Of light-colored
honey to one pound Of soft cream but
ter. The two should be well mixed
and then placed in containers and put
in a refrigerator to harden.

Don't Mix Old and Young

The Bible tells US it is unwise to
put new wine in old bottles. Today
a modern poultryman will tell you not
to attempt to raise young chicks in old
quarters. A still much less desirable
practice is to attempt to put chicks in
quarters occupied by old stock. 1t is
a hopeless task to raise young and old
together. The conditions are not sani-
tary, the ground is teeming with para
site organisms such as worms and
coccidia and the chicks will become
badly infested with lice. Again the
baby chick doesn't get an opportunity
to eat. They not only cannot eat but
are trampled under foot. If one wants
to successfully raise chicks, keep them
away from the old hens and raise on
clean, fresh ground. Losses from rats
are much less apt to occur if the
chicks are broOded some distance from
the farm NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Farmer.

DAIRY HINTS

There is always demand for
proved sires.
Cows need from three to four
pounds of water for each pound Of
milk they give.
The price of a pound of grain is
about the same as the price of pound

of grain makes COW give an addi-
tional two or four pounds of milk. feet
the grain.
Let the dairymen everywhere pro-
duce all the silage and alfalfa pos
sible; they are the most important
crops for the dairy cow.
Dirt may be kept out of milk by
brushing the cows and washing and
wiping the teats, udder and TANKS, and
by using sma,l-top milk pals.
Cows which are to freshen this fall
should be dried off in plenty of time so
mat they will get a good rest. Keep
them well fed and they will be good
mixers all winter

Fight Lice

Hens like to dust and it probably re-
moves quite few lice, but the method
is not desirable for controlling lice in
the poultry house. When hens are
working in the dust boxes, the air in
the poultry house is unhealthful for the
owner and it seems as if colds are
more prevalent among the birds when
their nostrils are often filled with dry
dust.
The poultry man is more apt to con-
troll lice if the hens are Grated at least
twice a year and each given the blue
ointment or sodium fluoride treatment.
If you do not wish to catch the hens,
use the nicotine sulphate (Black-Leaf

Skimping on growing chicks rations
never pays.-"Feed them or sell them"
1t is estimated that chick will con-
sumo four pounds of feed during the
first eight weeks of its growth.
Since production the first year Is
usually 10 to 80 per cent higher than
in later years, one should Gull during
that time, discard the poor producers,
and keep the best over for the next
year.
Ducks are apt to be the most salts
factory breeders during their first sea-
son of production.
Only one chick disease is known
to be transmitted directly from hen
to chick. This Is pullorum disease
commonly known as bacillary white
diarrhea.
A palatable and economical mash
feed for fowls may be made of 20O
pounds each Of cornmeal, bran and
shorts, 80 pounds Of meat scrap and
ia pounds of salt.
Watch out for mites and lice in
the poultry house. A generous use of
kerosene is a simple and effective
remedy.

FARM !
POULTRY
GROW MORE CAPONS
AS FARM SIDELINE
Surplus Cockerels Do Well
for the Purpose.
(By ROY s. DEARsTYNE. Head OF North
Carolina State College Poultry Depart
ment.-WNU Service.)

(By ROY 8. DEARST1NE. HEAD OF north
Carolina state College Poultry Depart
ment-WNU Service.)
Nothing is more appetizing on the
family table than well grown and
finished capOn, and they may be sold
readily on local markets.
The surplus cockerels on a farm
may be used for this purpose. How
eyer, only well-developed birds should
be used. If vigorous, robust, worm
free birds are used, they may be grown
out into heavy capons that bring good
prices. Never use Leghorn for this
purpose, but use such breeds as the
Rocks, Brahmas, Orpingtons, Cornish,
Wyandottes or Jersey Black Giants.
Timing the caponizing operation is
necessary. The best markets exist
about Easter and this avoids putting
the capons into competition with tur-
key at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
To have birds ready for the Easter
market, caponize them about July
to ID. This will give them time to
develop large frames and to go through
the intensive feeding period which
finishes such bird in from 10 to IA
days.

Sanitary Measures to
End "Ropiness" in Milk

A Shiny or ropy condition in milk is
brought about by the growth Of bac-
terra and usually does not appear I'M
til II to "a hours after the milk is
drawn. The bacteria may come from
the water in which the utensils were
rinsed, from dust in the barn at milk
ing time, or occasionally from an in
fected udder. Unless the infection
comes from the udder, it can be elimi-
mated by the practice of good sanitary
measures, which consist of milking in
a place comparatively free from dust,
cleaning the cows rear TANKS and I'D
der with damp cloth, and handling
the milk in vessels that have been
thoroughly washed and sterilized.
