The Electric Light Question.
I'd the Editor of n Rlqister.


SIR: | read with amazement in to-
dayS'S Tntclligenccr the labored effort to
make it appear that the city could not
run an electric light plant cheaper than
what she could contract for the same
from private corporation. How can
any newspaper, which has this commu-
ity'S interests at heart, take such view
of il? Goanywhere you please and you
NAV learn from observation that cities
controlling their own plants are served
far better and much cheaper than by
private corporations. 1t can not be
otherwise because the people would get
the profits instead of the corporation.
Now, am consumer of the electric
light. If continue to use it | must
have it at minimum cost. But am
getting it? The following circular
served on me q short time since will set
tie that question in short order:
The WHEELING ELECTRICAL COMPANY, I
OFFICE AND STATION TWENTY SECOND AND |
CHAPLINE STREETS.
WHEELING, September -, 1890. !
DEAR SIR:-Your contract having ex
pired. please take notice that after Octo
/ Der lst, 1890. our rate for furnishing light
will be 75c per 100 ampere hours, with q
discount of ten per cent on all bills over
$50, providing, after the discount has beer
allowed, the bill shall not be reduced below
so.
THE WHEELING ELECTRICAL COMPANY.
Now. do not blame the Company fol
getting all it can for the light it fur
nishes. That is their business. MOI
will comment upon the arbitrary char
acter of the circular, which compel:
me to use SEQ worth of light before
can get the discount, but l do protes
most emphatically against any bald pre-
tense of furnishing electric light a.
cheaply as it can be furnished by thu
city.
Keep up the good work. Mr.. Editor
the people are with you.

MARTINI FERRY, o.. Nov. 1.-The citizens OF
this place were thrown into 4 state OF great eX-
citemcnt this afternoon by the strangest catch
ever known in these waters. The angler, a well
known resident. was armed with bamboo rod
of only ordinary size. He had waited in vain
for II bite for nearly half an hour when he felt,
at the end OF his line, a fish evidently endowed
with enormous strength. The battle which en-
sued has probably never been paraelled in pis-
catorial annals IL attracted two-thlrds of the
population OF the village, so rapidly was the eN
citing news circulated The beholders could
scarcely believe their eyes when, rs the tnny
monster was drawn out OF water its side was
found to be adorned with the business card Of
ALEXANDER ~ Co., No. 1915 Main street, whose
bargains in shoes are now attracting almost as
much attention rs the fish itself will receive
from anglers all over.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-08-20

The best, cheapest and easiest way is to
pillow under the weeds and grasses, and as
they decay they are transformed into
humus. So every grove must be worked
according to the amount OF humus the
land contains, and as this material can
never be in excess in the land, the grove
should be plowed every time there is a
growth of weeds or grass on it, and when
the grass is green, the production of the
sc ed being very exhausting to the soil, it
is indisl ensable to pillow before they rip
en-. Don't be afraid OF leaving your
ground bare by having no seed. If your
blowing is done shallow enough the grass
will grow again and be ready for another
blowing in a short time, as the grass will
not be covered SO deep as to prevent it's
growth So the problem Of green or
clean culture does not exist, but TIE
principle does.
The soil needs large supply of humus
and we can supply it only by turning un-
der the grass produced on the soil. AS to
the best method of doing it, there can be
no fixed rule it; depends of the soil, and
there can be no theory applicable-it is q
necessity OF the soil which we must sup
ply.
Ii the land is plowed so often that the
grass has no time to grow the soil will be
burned by the sun and there will be no
material to transform into humus. SO
clean culture is wrong even if the tree has
to give a part of itsdinner to a neighbor.
Now gentlemen | have no friends or
brothers, but if any of you will consider
yourselves friend or brother enough to
refute me | will be very glad to be en-
lightened A. PNHARD.
