ANOTHER PEA CAN
MING FACTORY.

The Schuette brothers, the family and
not the proprie tors of the store, and other
members of the family, have completed
arrangements to 60 into the pea canning
business. Preliminary work has been in
progress for some months but not until
Saturday last had matters assumed such
form as to make announcement proper.
The capital stock is to be $50, 900.
The location of the factory has not yet
been determined. At first it was thought
best to place it near the eledtric light
plant, and use electricity as power, the
electric light plant having abundance of
1T, Steam from the boilers could also lie
used. But some consideration is now
given the farm what was known as the
Shove farm-as a desirable site The
only question is that of water and an
artesian well would be necessary
The company has not yet incorporated
but everything is progressing as rapidly
as if it We're. Cans have been purchased
and seed pease. Contracts are being
made for land, and already 200 acres
have been secured, 100 being from one
farmer. The machinery has been pur-
chased and just as soon as site is decid-
ed upon work on the factory will be be-
gun. The factory proper will be 5Ox13O
feet. The size of the warehouses has
not yet been determined The capacity
OF the factory will be about equal to that
of either of the other two plants here,
but will be enlarged if the business war
rants Everything is to be in readiness
for use this season.
When the factory is in operation about
100 hands will be employed in addition
to the pea pickers. The proprietors an
tcipate no trouble in procuring pea pick
ers and say the viners have solved the
question of field labor. Mr.. John Schuet-
te will soon leave for Detroit to engage
what is technically known as a process
or-one skilled in the business of can
ming pease.
The pease of Manitowoc are regarded
as the best in the world The field west
of the Mississippi has not vet been
worked much. Increase in the number
OF pea canning factories will cheaper
the product somewhat and thereby in
crease the consumption. Besides the
market will be extended.
The agricultural interests ofManitowoc
are rapidly coming to the front to the
mutual benefit of the city and country.
This additional pea canning factory and
the Pickle factory are important addi-
tions to the city industries and both are
directly beneficial to the farmers. If we
can only secure the boiler plate factory
a great deal will have been done in one
year.

AMONG FARMERS.

The number of pea canning factories
in the country will make the viner be
used more than in the past 1t is only a
question of time when the pea picker
will be superseded by the viner.
Reports from Winneebago county are
to the effect that the late severe cold has
destroyed the winter wheat in that local
ity 1t is pretty hard to say whether
winter wheat isIkilled or not before the
opening of spring:
Northern Michigan as well as North
ern Wisconsin is turning its attention to
agricultural matters Northern Michi-
gan for many years furnished a splendid
market for the farmers of this section
for hay, oats, butter and beef. But the
indications now are that the Peninsula
will soon be in condition to supply all
its own agricultural needs.

Dr. Luhmann is in receipt Of two Ma

American news, even going to some
length in giving an account of football
games played by the Wisconsin Univers-

Decembe. 30, 1899. They have excellent
patronage. Theaters and

of the latter, take considerable space.
geographically the papers are quite ac-

COUNCIL NOTES.

The city council had meeting on
Monday night which was rather animal
ed The gas question was put over for
action at the next meeting. An ordin-
ance providing that the owners of build
ings which are to be moved must fur
nish bonds to the amount $500 so as to
protect the city against any suit for
damages which might result because of
such moving, called forth quite a dis
cussion and a vehement expression Of
opinion on the part of Alderman Kelley
who had grown tired of dilatory tactics
and concluded to expedite matters by
talking quite plainly. Attorney Onstad
also put his fighting clothes Oh and was
mercilessly direct and sarcastic in an
swering objections. Alderman Blesch
waded in in the noiseless fashion pecu-
liar to him, but very effective way it
is, as one can judge from the casualties
Franks manner always suggests that he
is doing kindness to the man he is dis
secting Alderman Pohl and Hanson
took part in the melee.
