discussed in open session without Vio-

HORSE SNOWPLOWS
FOR CITY SIDEWALKS
Minnesota Methods of Cleaning the Feecy" From Wash
ington Pavements Look Both Practical and
Economical for Winter Service

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
With your permission,I would Ike to
suggest a method for disposing OF the
problem now confronting as OF how to
rid the sidewalks Of snow in winter.
In some Northern cities. notably Min
neapolis. Mimi, where the snowfall is
generally TAR greater than here and
where it often drifts badly. the snow
is cheaply. rapidly, and effectively re-
moved by the city from its sidewalks
by means Of specially constructed horse
plOws
Horse Plows "V" Shaped.
BY this method "a piow made of pIaaks
weighted with stones is drawn by one
horse at 4 speed of four or FIVE miles
The Washington times., 1906-01-12

an hour very easily. The " shaped
plow leaves the walks bare and packs
1he snow at the sides with only a slight
elevation. The street crossings are
cleaned at the same time
This method OF cleaning need be used
only in residence districts and parks In
The downtown business districts mer-
chants may be depended upon 10 keep
their walks clear without cOmpuision.
This use Of horse plows has been con-
tinued for many years. and experience
shows it to be free from objection The
present archaic method Of cleaning
street crossings in vogue in Washington
annually costs a sum which, We're il
otherwise expended. might nearly. If not
quite pay for the cleaning of our entire
sidewalk area.

WHAT KENTUCKY LOST.
Government Would Have
Paid Expenses of En-
campment.

Washington, June because the
s ate of Kentucky declined to par
ticipate in the joint army maneuvers
Of militiamen and regulars at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapo-
lis, it is out of pocket something be-.
tween SIS, 900 and $4,000.
If Kentucky had joined in the In
dianapolis camp the federal govern
ment would have paid very consid-
cradle share Of the expense. By de-
Gliding to hold camp of its own,
independent of the regular troops,
Kentucky will have to stand all of
the expenses. 1t is not known
whether or not the Kentucky state
authorities were aware of the very
liberal allowance to be voted by the
general government if the state had
participated in the joint maneuvers.
There is an advantage, besides, in
drilling with regular troops for they
are able, by their long training, to
impart ideas of army life that the
Kentucky troops cannot obtain by
camping by themselves. However.
the die is cast and it is extremely
doubtful whether the plans could
now be so changed as to permit of
the participation of the Kentucky
troops in the indianapolis maneu-
vers.

Worlds Record Beaten.

HE two egg-laying competitions
of II months duration organ
lied by "The Daily Telegraph" con-
cluded last Saturday. The fourth
annual contest of 100 pens conducted
at the Hawkesbury Agricultural
College by Mr.. d. S. Thompson,
Government Poultry Expert, has
outdistanced its predecessors in all
respects in the matter of egg-pro-
duction.
The first six pens of six birds ran
over HOO eggs each, the White Leg
horn winners having l4l1 to their
credit, or 289A eggs each. Silver
Wyandottes came second with 1903.
Strange as it may seem, a pen of
White Leghorns came last of the
100, with only 6S5 eggs lOrpingtons
took eighthplace. Ofthe seven pens
