MAN WHO TALKS BRICK .
GETS HERE TOO LATE
Albert Warren Regrets That He Was
: Not in Minneapolis Before Contracts
Were Let to Resurface Streets.


Albert Warren Of Chicago is in town
regretting that he did not get here be-
fore the contract was let to resnrface
the asphalt streets with another coating
Of that material. .>a -
Mr.. Warren represents the National
Paving Brick Manufacturers associa:
ton. It is his business not to sell brick
but. to talk brick and show the public
how much superior brick is as paving
material to anything else. He is con:
fdent that if he had been here at the
right time he could have shown the
council that It was not necessary on
account of the height Of the concrete
base to discard brick ,zs.s%.zz = ~
He would have shaved the concrete
down little toward the edges SO as to
have sufficiently deep gutter after
the brick was laid. The only change: in
the surface Of the street would have
been to slope it little more on the
sides. - -.

Pref Election Cash Opinions on Results

Bad Losers and Others Are Cheerful
Winners Contest Is GetEven
Process. 4j.4j,

There's an interesting story behind
the scenes in the contest of the mayor
Eality election in st. Paul. No story Of
la city election in st. Paul, Of course, is
complete unless "Dick,' O'Connor is
la central figure. And in this story, as
lis usually the case with him, he comes
Ito the surface, with smiling face
while his opponents are struggling as
best they can below. E$y.:
When it was announced some time
ago that the election was to be- con-
tested, it was general surprise to the
public to find that the republican cam
paign committee was not the complain
ant; in fact, that Franklin II. .Griggs,
the republican campaign manager, had
even refused to be the attorney for the
contestants. One H.. Stanley Wood
was the complainant. Even Louis G.
|: Hoffman,, the defeated republican can
I:didate for mayor, washed his hands Of
Make Bad Guess. #. F..
It now appears that number Of
prominent st. Paul men, who were sure
would win out and who had more money
to spare on the subject than wisdom,
joked the "Boss' about it. O'Connor
Is said to have suggested some betting,
and the terms being arranged, both
sides eventually put up their money
IfRumor had it that the amount aggre,
gated several thousand dollars. At
this stage Of the proceeding, both part
les to the wagers were smiling, - =
Then came the election. Now the
'"Boss' is the only one smilino. Not
that he needed the money, but nc. mat
ter how much man has he is always
pleased to get more. H..
f Then, the story goes, the enthusiastic
republicans who hated to give up thei?
Ecoin, pressed the cry Of Ncrookec
work at the polls. They told O'Con
nor that. a contest was in the air; but
this didn' worry him and he refused
to cut down on the amount of. cash huna
lIp, even when it was intimated that &
settlement of the wagers, at a lowe!
figure might do away with any confess
Of: the election. He refused: to bulge
Now the contest and recount is on IL
full blast. The votes in the First
! Third, Fourth, and part Of the Fiftl
ward have been recounted. Hoffman
has made a total net gain Of only forty
one votes. Mayor Smiths pluralit,
And Dick O'Connor is still smiling.

Minneapolis may have special cleo

To give the pigs thorough scrub
bing may appear to be labor thrown
away, but If two lots of pigs are treat
ed alike in every respect, except that
one lot receives thorough scrubbing
with soapsuds once IN WHILE there
will be marked difference in favor
of the hogs that are washed when the
time for slaughter arrives. A clean
bed Of straw with dry house, so as
to afford them comfort at night, will
also promote thrift and growth. The
hog is naturally a cleanly animal and
enjoys a bath. If considered a filthy
animal, that devours filthy food, 1t is
because Of the treatment given. Hogs
will select clean and wholesome food

Winter Wheat.

The Importance of the winter wheat
crop becomes more apparent when we
consider that the annual production of
the country is from 100,000,000 to 150.-
100000 bushels greater than the annual
yield Of spring wheat, and that about
twenty-four states and territories grow
winter wheat exclusively, while only
eleven grow spring wheat, and eight
produce both crops together. Some of
the advantages in growing winter
wheat over raising spring wheat are a
more convenient distribution of farm
work; the conservation of soil fertil-
ity by the growing crop during the time
the land would otherwise be bare; a
better development of the crop, as 1t
generally natures before the dry and
hot weather of summer, and the pro-
duction usually of heavier yields. The
average yields per acre in the states
growing winter wheat only are not
generally as large as in the states pro-
ducing spring wheat exclusively, but
the better yields, as rule, in the re-
gions where both crops are grown are
obtained from winter wheat.-Ameri-

Spreading Manure.

When the manure is not decomposed
In the heap it must be decomposed in
the soil before the plants can utilize II
as a food, and the sooner the manure is
spread the better 1t will be for the crop
AS 1t Is difficult to spread manure on
plowed ground, owing to the labor
of hauling over the rough, soft ground.
the method practiced by those who
plow twice is to spread the manure on
the unplowed ground In the rough (not
barrowing), and when the land is cross
plowed later on the manure is more in.

(between the posts), as is convenient.
The wires are made to rest in crotch
at the upper end of the pole or stake.
To make the trellis still stronger, l
now put several rows side by side, and
connect the posts and stakes across the
rows by cross strips fastened high
enough to allow the horse in cultivat-
ing to pass under it.
For each row l stretch two wires,
one about six inches above the ground
surface, the other about five feet from
the ground. Common binder twine is
wound Zigzag around the two wires. 1t
makes a useful and quite ornamental
support for the limas, and the vines
take readily, particularly and remark
ably so, to the strings, even without
much assistance or coaxing on the part
of the grower.
