This experiment has been thoroughly

to b. such success that the Rock
leland has adopted it over it's entire
system, and. as soon rs possible. all OF
their engines will be equipped with
this new device and Immediately be
put back into service.
This smokeless firing, as il is por per-

WHY FARMERS SHOULD ATTEND
THE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

They have built their roads during the
last fifty years without outside aid, and,
of course, use them more than any other
class of people, therefore they are most
interested in their condition. They com
plain that the main roads are the poorest
in the country, with no immediate pros
poets of much improvement The peo-
pie of the districts through which these
main roads run, claim that owing to the
heavy traffic over them they axe contin-
ually broken up: that these roads need
to be built in a more substantial manner
than other roads to withstand the addi-
tional wear, they are subjected to- and
to build them properly and keep them in
good repair afterward is greater ex-
pense than such districts can stand.
What is the remedy: That's the ques-
ton to be discussed at the meeting Oct
ober Goth
Massachusetts, New York and New
Jersey have a state law which provides
that the state pays one-third of the ex-
pense of building such roads or parts of
roads, as the county commissioners Ito
be appointed may designate, the balance
to be divided between the county and re-
spective town.
Thus the cities, paying more State
taxes than the farmers, must pay the
greatest share toward the Good Roads
fund of the State, while now they pay
nothing. This system has worked won
ders in those states during the la3t five
years, and is therefore no longer an ex-
pertinent. "A constitutional amendment
for similar law will be acted upon by
our next legislature to be submitted to a
vote of the people of the state and every
farmer ought to be thoroughly posted in
regard to the whole question, to know
whether ne will favor or oppose it. Your
opinion is wanted at that convention,
whe ther You favor or oppose the plan of
tne state aid for county roads. When
sight of the fact that our city streets
and sidewalks are as much in need of
Improvement as our country roads. We
have some fine roads in this county and
some well-made streets in the city, but
that is not the rule Let MS endeavor to
have them uniformly good The cities
must build their streets as heretofore
but they should also pay toward build,
ing the main country roads.

GOOD ROADS.

As the time for the Good Roads con-
vention draws near assurances OF its sue
cess multiply Not only will their be a
good attendance from Manitowoc coun-
ty, but there will also be a number pres
ent from adjoining counties. The people
of Sheboygan, Calumet and kewaunee
counties are making the convention To-
cal matter and are working up an inter-
est which promises good attendance from
these places. The newspapers are adver-
Using it and urging attendance. From
present appearances the convention will
prove a grand success.
The railroad companies offer a rate OF
one and one-third- an unusually good
concession The farmers of Manitowoc
county must see to it that they are not
outdone by the farmers of neighboring
counties.

Notwithstanding the fact that cheese
is away up there is less cheese manu-
featured than there was last year when
cheese did not bring near so much mon
ey.
Will Delano succeeded last year in
having two crops of strawberries from
one bed. A farmer IL Oniro, Winneba-
go county, is now picking second crop
of Strawberries.
Eggs are a luxury these days The
price is away up and keeps on climbing.
Restaurants in some places have stricken
eggs from their bill of fare as they could
not afford to furnish them at old prices
and to make an advance was thought in
advisable
The potato crop in central Wisconsin
suffered considerably from the cold wave
OF Saturday last. Many were frozen in
the cars. 1t is said that fully one-third
of those in the ground We're frozen. But
IL is not safe to take these reports as true.
1t will be remembered that report went
out last winter that most of the potatoes
i'll the state We're frozen during the cold
spell.
Henry Tendick has in front of his store
four enormous pumpkins which We're
raised III this county from seed furnish
ed by him. The pumpkins are not a
malformation, very apt to be the case
when the growth is unusual. These are
symmetrical and finely shaped. The
largest weighs 105 pounds and was
grown by o. T. Aubol of Valders. The
next in size weighs 81 pounds and was
grown by Carl Hecker of Newton. One
weighing SO pounds was grown by And
rev Haugen of Eaton, and the fourth
weighing 80 pounds is the property of
w. P. Noyes of Clarks Mills.
The Manitowoc Pea Packing Company
will fail this year to make success of
canning tomatoes on account of heavy
frost preventing the tomatoes from RI
pening This is unfortunate as the com
pany went to considerable expense in
providing machinery for this class of
work and set ont a great many plants,
renting land for this purpose. If success
had followed, the factory would be run
during the fall months and thus employ
ment would be given to many people.
The uncertainty of the crop is rather
discouraging, but it is probable another
attempt will be made before the canning
| of tomatoes will be entirely discontinued
by TIE company. Its failure in this par
| ticular is public loss.
