OUR BIG PORK HOUSE.

WI" Ds~ y ~ MN UN~SS-'
We have taken occasion to find out
and lay before our readers something
about the dimensions of our nam.
moth pork-packing establishment
now being erected by Messrs. Morrell
& Co., of Liverpool, England, under
the direction of Mr.. Z. d. Foster,
their general business manager in
this country.
The pork packing house will be
96xl6O #. with wing 96x48 #, three
stories high above ground. First
story (Which will be basement, So
called) 10 #. high; End story, l3 #.
high; Sd story, l6 #. high. The roof
will have ventilator of the entire
length of the building 4 feet high 80
feet wide.
The entire building will be divid-
ed into large number of sections,
and on all sides a large number Of
doors and windows. There will be
watts cess pools, shutes and boxes for
blood, chill rooms and ice boxes of
large dimensions. The entire build
ing will be on the most improved
plan in all respects for .frst-class
pork packing house and is to be
ready for use Nov. LIST, 1878.
When we tell our readers that the
building will be as high as the side
fire wall of "Union Block" Ottumwa,
not Including the roof and ventilator,
they can form some idea of its pro-
portions.
1t will be building that will do
do credit to any city and to the ener-
getic manager of Morrell 4 Co.'S bus
mess in this city. When the ice hous-
es, cooper shops, Offices, tenements,
cribs, ETC., which will surround this
immense building, are erected, they
will form a considerable town of
themselves.

the STARCH MILL
Will Now be Built Beyond all
Question
Which il Another Big Feather in
ottumwa's Cap.
Now We May Well Claim to be the
Boss Town Of Iowa.

We are now authorized to say that
the Ottumwa Starch Mill, which we
have mentioned heretofore, is one of
certainly to be accomplished facts. A
company has been formed, of which
the following gentlemen are stock
holders: s. L. Wiley, VIM. Daggett,
John l. Moore, w. L. Major, Chas. f..
Blake, w. T. Harper, J. w. Edgerly,
T. L. Sleeper. The permanent organ
ization will not be effected until the
first of September, but the company
will proceed at once to erect build
ing Of llOx90 feet, four stories high,
of brick, and it will be fitted up with
complete outfit of the most improv-
ed machinery for the manufacture of
all grades of starch. Contracts are
now being let for the erection of the
building, and early next week
the work will be commenced and
prosecuted with the utmost dispatch.
The proprietors expect to have the
works erected and be prepared to fur
nish any quantity of first-class starch
during the month of December.
Mr.. Sleeper, who is to be the super.
intendent, has had many years OF
practical experience in starch manu-.
featuring in the East, which gives as,
surance of the success of the project
II. B. Brown, a professional mill
wright, of Elkhart, Ind, will super
intend the erection ofthc mill. From
the well-known character and ability
of the stockholders, we predict fol-
the Ottumwa starch mill successful
and profitable career. The mill will
have capacity of consuming 30(
bushels of corn per day and will af
ford sure and profitable market 70,
all the surplus corn raised in Wa
pello county.
| The mill will be erected on the up
per side of Wapello street. just above
the pumping works, and will make
quite handsome appearance archi
tecturally. "Now, by St. Paul, tht
work goes bravely on"

Green Cage Plums,


w. A. Nye Esq, of Cass township,
this county, called to-day and show
ed sample of his green gage plums
He says that his trees had never bore
to do any good until two years ago,
on account of the curculio singing
the plum, when it would fall
off without ripening. He says he
saw wood ashes recommended to be
put around the roots of the tree to
prevent the ravages Of the curculio.--
He tried it, and has now had two
abundant crops from the trees and no
curculio. He says he removed the
sod for about two feet all around the
body of the tree and then deposited
wood ashes in the cavity about two
inches deep and left the trees in this
condition. This process he goet
through both spring aud fall of each
year. The specimen plums are large
perfect and delicious.

will find that there are plenty of men
to buy. You will find this army of
