Summer Feeding of Pigs The last experiment in summer feeding of pigs showed that when alfalfa or sweet clover could not be secured for hog pasture, sudan grass with corn and tankage would make a hundred pounds gain with a cost of about 60 cents more than alfalfa, torn and tankage. Beware of the Bunny Foultry netting, corn stalks, build ing paper and veneer wrappers have 'all been used by practical orchard men to ktp the rabbits from young fruit trees. The poultry wire is the most expensive in the fiut cost, but will last fcr five or six years or about as long as it is most needed ; After a rabbit has once started on fruit tree bark, he will strip many trees and kill them even in one night.

Customers! i Will Support State Aid Bridge Over the Platte Board of County Commissioners De cide to Stand by Action Adopt ed on April 7, 1925. From Wednesday's Daily The board of county commission ers at their session this morning adopted a motion tnit the board would stand by their action of April 7, 1925 in which they had agreed to act with the state in the pur chase of the bridge over the Platte river north of this city which was then projected by the King of Ttrails Bridge Co. The action of the commissioners today was caused by the presenting of a petition yesterday morning to the board signed by some 201 resi dents of Cass county asking that the matter of the county taking over the new bridge be differed for a two year period, the petition stating that it was desired to test the bridge in the raising and high water of the river before the acceptance of the bridge was made. The county board at their meet ing last April in conjunction with the county board of Sarpy county and the state department of public works adopted a resolution stating that under the provisions of the state statutes the two counties would assume the payment of half of the cost of the bridge and the state the other half, the half of the cost that was taken over by the counties of Sarpy and Cass should be met by the charging of tolls over the bridge until the amount that was due from the two counties was paid over and after that time should be operated as a free bridge. The bridge that was erected has been in operation for the past sev eral months by the King of Trails Bridge Co., pending the action of the state and counties to take over the structure and operate it until the cost of the bridge is paid back to the bridge company. The structure has just been en tirely completed and it is expected that the state will place a physical valuation on the bridge in the near future which will be the basis of determination of the price to be paid by the state and the two counties for the bridge after which the mat ter will be up to the state depart ment of public works to pay over their half and the counties take charge of the bridge and its opera tion in the future. The board of county eommision- ers having taken this action and with the state ready to do their part did not desire to stop tne proceed ings that might again delay the se curing of the state funds as several years have elapsed since the first application was made to the state for aid to secure a free bridge. At that time there was a very large petition presented from the resi dents of this county as well as other counties along the highway south of this county to the Kansas line.
