AN INCIDENT AT THE FIREMEy'S Cow
VENTION- - Considerable eXcIte nent was
created in the firemen's convention during
the discussion of the finances of the aSSocia-
ton by an animated harangue from Joseph
Williams, pres of the Washington Cd
CD board of fire commissioners. President
Williams said: "When ran with the ma
chine and party refused TO contribute e
our support, we spotted his house, and
when a fire came we saved the adjoining
property and permitted his to burn. Now,
think the national board and the insurance
companies should pay the expense of this
convention. The chiefs OF depa rtments car
hardly afford to spare the amount necessarv
and say to them If the national board or the
insurance companies refuse to pay the ex-
penses OF this meeting they should spot the
property insured in such companies and lei
IL go in case of fire."
Inc speech created considerable excitement
and Indignation among the engineers and in
sufance men present, and Williams was
urged to retract IL. He said he was sorry he
had said it-publicly.-N Y. World.

SEWAGE FARMING.

Upon the sewage farm Of Lord War
wick, near bennington, IN England,
twenty acres Of mangel-wurzel (of two
kinds, orange and intermediate globe
produced eighty-twO tons to the acre,
the crop being the greatest eversknown
in England. The field had been in
Italian rye-grass In 1871 and in 1872,
and wheat IN 1873. 1t received no ma
nure other than sewage during the
past four years. The mangel was
sOwed IN rows, two feet apart, and the
plants were thinned to one foot. The
roots were so large that tons and tons
were selected which did not exceed one
hundred roots to the ton.
1t is amazing that it should take
hundreds OF generations of the most
advanced of the human species to learn
the value of city fertilizers to improve
the soil which feeds the inhabitants Of
towns. Roots that exceed an average
Of twenty pounds each indicate better
land than Is common IN any country.
The denizens Of cities should cooperate
with farmers and gardeners to make
living cheap.
