THE MAYORS PLANS.
The Garbage Question Under Consideration
He Advises It's Removal At
Night During The
Heated Term.


The following is letter which will be
presented by the Mayor to the City
Council a, their next meeting for their
due consideration and deibeSaiion
81 wish you would consider the follow
ing plan SO that you may act upon it at
our next meeting | find that the cost
for the removal of garbage for the past
year amounted to SI446.7s. while the
city has had TO pay, which seems TO me
TO be very large sum Tor this work.
There has always been a constant
complaint. and coming from every sec
lion OF the city. that the garbage placed
on the sidewalks remains there for sew
eral days at the time. during the summer
months, being exposed to the hot sun is
not only very unpleasant TO people walk
ing on the streets. but very dangerous 10
the health OF the city.
II am convinced that the city should,
as speedily as possible, provide its own
means TO remove this garbage. If two
carts and two men are employed, | figure
that the saving 10 the City would be $3.50
per year. and those horses belonging to
the city would be on hand for the use OF
the steam Fire engine in case of fire to
insure more thorough and quicker re-
moval OF the garbage. II three horses
and three men should have to be employ
ed it would increase -.he cost Of $50,
still saving of S27o.
al propose that duung The months OF
May. June, July, August, September and
October that the work of removing gar
bage shall commence at midnight and
continue until 9 O'Clock in the morning,
under the supervision Of the Street Com
missioner, assisted by the night patrol
man, who will see that the men will prop
erly perform their work. In that case
the garbage will be placed on the side
walks in the evening instead Of the morn
ing, and thereby avoid having il exposed
10 the hot summer sun.
1.-THE city will provide the garbage
men with cans OF deodorizer TO be
emp,ied in the vessels from which the
garbage is taken. | estimate that the
cost OF the outfit to do this work will be
about $3.50, which, | do not think, con-
sidering other matters, will add anything
TO the city taxes. If we conclude that
this money could not be paid out of the
city treasury this year. that sum could
be borrowed for six months, which would
cost the city about $40. and the amount
borrowed could be paid out Of next
years levy"

The Old Granger in Town.

The 60-year-old granger who rents

months. He enjoys the relief from
the burdens Of farm work, the making
Of new acquaintances, the loafing
around the streets and in the stores,
but soon this gets to be an old story,
he begins to find life in town desper-
ately monotonous, and for diversion he
very naturally turns to local politics
and tries to run for county supervisor,
and by the time the local sharps have
| knocked the stufing out of him at the
| caucus he thinks there is no place quite
so good on earth as the OLD home on the
farm, and he is just about right in his
conclusions. The very best thing for
must such men is to stay in the ole
home on the farm, build a tenant
house, hire a good married man by the
year and have the fun of bossing the
Job. With all the modern improve
ments which may be secured to make
farm life pleasing and attractive an6

life work on the old farm and will

The Hired Man and His Horse

Within a few years past the question
of keeping a horse for the hired man
on the farm has come to the front and
is today in many portions of the West
at least a very live one. The farmer
who employs help very naturally does
not take kindly to this proposition,
claiming that the keep of such a horse
is an added expense to him, that time
which should be put in in caring for
his W horses is used by the hired
man in caring for his horse and that
the keeping Of such horse, with buggy
attachment, has a tendency to keep the
hired man out late at night giving the
girls buggy rides. But hired men are
scarce and good ones hard to get, and
so in most cases the farmer has to sub
nit to what he thinks, with good rea-
son, is an imposition. 1t stands about
like this: Through much of the agri-
cultural West the man is paid from S24
to $28 per month, some of them $50
He gets the best of board, his washing
and a horse kept on the fat of the
land. If he has no got a snap. whC
has? At present prices he costs the
man who hires him not less than $4i
per month.

Wasted Water.

What is a dry river bed in the arid
territory of the West was recently
transformed into a raging torrent, car
rying 80 feet of water. Suppose hat a
government dam, costing, say, $1,000
900, had been there to have impounded
this water and thus have permitted its
use over the sagebrush plain during the
crop season, how long would it take
for the land so reclaimed to be worth
more than the cost of such improve
ment? And $50, 0O0, 900 is appropriated
almost without debate by congress foi
so-called river and harbor improve
ment, a large part of which is to be ex.
pended upon the pulling of snags from
and the dredging of nameless creeks
and streams, the which when the
money is spent would not float an ole
Erie canal boat.

to correctly estimate the profits of a
well managed farm NJ less a period
than ten years should be taken, the
average profits for such a term then
fairly representing the profits of the
business. For instance, we nave been
told by several business farmers that
the profits on their farm operations for
the year 1901 were not less than 20 per
cent. upon the capital invested. this
net, after all expenses were deducted.
Then we have known more than one
yna~ whdn the farm was operated at an
actual loss. But few farmers keep any
book accounts with their farms, and,
as one man told us, the only way he
knew when he was making any money
was when he took a load of hogs to
market and there was not some fellow
waiting for the money when he got
home.
