week s meeting conferred two
higher titles on two of the most
deserving of the employees of the

worked harded or more faithfully
for the general welfare and inn
provement Of the department with
which he was connected than has

has been recognized by the Board.

ed as janitor for many years and

Glen Y. Mills, the Directory Compiler Has
Completed His Work Of Taking
Census in Watertown.
The Work Has Been Done as Well and
Carefully as il is Possible For Any
Person To 10 II.

Many Watertown people will
probably be surprised when they
hear Of the true census Of the city
of Watertown as taken by G EN-
". Mills, the directory compiler
who has spent the past two months
in this city compiling names for
the new city and county directory,
and taking a census Of the popu-
5lation of our city.
Some people have been laboring
under the impression that Water
town contained over 10, 600 people.
The above figures will be somewhat
disappointing to those over-san-
guine individuals. Mr.. Mills is q
man who has spent a life time in
the directory work and census
taking and his work was left
open to the inspection Of the
public at the Saturday News
office at least two weeks.
The Business Mems Union ap-

pointed a committee consisting Of
Messrs. "A. w Ransom. D. HI
Whooley and j. G. Southwick to-
inspect his work and the commit
tee spent about half a day at the
Saturday News Office inspecting and
verifying said work. The COM
rnittee tested the names in every
possible manner and found every
thing absolutely correct. This
committee after a most thoro and
rigid dexamination were unanimous
in promo ouncing what work they
had examined as correct.
Altho the population does not
run up as high as we would like
to have it, still we think Water
town has made a wonderful growth
in the past few years and feel con-
.fident that it viii only be a few
years until we will have attained q
population of ten Thousand and
over.

The average value Of poultry on each

in each State worked by tenants.
For the improvement Of farm life
many things are needed. Cd The
Improvement of country schools, or
rather, the establishing of real
schools for the couNtry. Many lead
ing educators believe that the coun
try school has yet to be conceived
and established. 1t has been said
with great force that the existing
country schools are but poorly
country
"(2) County or district agricultu-
raj schools, in which the main work
shall be to impart knowledge that
tends to make the successful farmer
and the good citizen and to give a
training to youths adapted to rural
life, in sympathy with toll and love
with the farm.
Several States have taken the ini-
tiative in establishing such schools.
1t is believed by their friends and
hoped by all that it may lead to a
solution of the problem of the best
education for rural life.
"(3) 1t is also desirable that text
books in country schools shall have
for illustrative material incilents
and experiences drawn from rural
life instead of from commerce, poll
tics, diplomacy and war.
"(D 1t will doubtless be found ad-
valtageous at times to cooperate in
buying and selling, in borrowing
money, etc.
"(5) The proper valuation of pro-
perty as a basis of taxation to es-
tablish and maintain rural better
ments should be considered"
Dr.. Knapp believes that when
these conditions are fully met ano-
ther era will dawn upon the South
ern farmer-that he will put aside
old methods and plans of work and
that he will ial1 into the line of up
to-date workers with modern and
scientific machinery and other ap-
pliances. When that is done, he will
enjoy the best there is in life, and
that largely the result of his own
labors.

Increased Use of Cement.
Charlotte ObServer.)

(CharlOtte Observer
Nothing could me more astonish-
ing than the increased use Of cement
and Of the great variety of purposes
for which it is being used, Every
body knows by observation how it
has taken the place of stone and
brick for pavements and how much
better pavement it makes than either
of these materials. Already it goes
into the construction of houses in
many different forms. Sometimes it
is made into blocks Of artificial
stones and laid up in the walls the
same as stone or brick. Then again
it is made into reinforced concrete,
which makes the building the equiv
alent of monolith. 1t is cast into
slabs, treated with white enamel
paint and used in place OF marble
tops on counters. They are begin
ming to make bath tubs out of it,
treating the interior with white
enamel paint in the same way. We
have seen tombstone moulded and
set up in good shape and the very
inscription cast on it when the shaft
was moulded. 1t is extensively used
for bridges, for water-power dams,
for skyscrapcr buildings and for a

THOUSANDS OF CRIPPLES,

TO arouse interest and to bring

cripples, widows and orphans who
hold judgments aggregating $4,000
600 against the New York City Rail-
way Company, it is proposed to hold

ion. Because of the corporations s
bankruptcy, the holders of judgments
are unable to collect their claims, but
lawyers believe that if a few thou
sand cripples and unfortunates are
brought together it would bring their
plight vividly before the public,
judges Of Federal and state Courts,
the State Legislature and Congress,
and perhaps result in some form of
relief.

The California Prunc.
(l;nOS Brown.)

The consumption Of pruneS in the
United States exceeds one hundred
million pounds yearly. Prior to 1886
the supply came almost wholly from
France and the country along the
Dasube River, and sold under the des-
ignatiOn of "FrcnCh' or "TurkiSh"
prunes. In the year referred to
prunCS of American growth appeared
on the market, and with each sue
ccedng year the supply has increas-
ed, until the importation of foreign
fruit has been reduced to very little.
Much the larger portion of the prune
supply is the production OF Califor-
mia.
In preparing the ground for plant
ing repeated plowings and harrow
ings are required to thoroughly pull
veriZc the soil. Ycar-old seedlings
are planted in holes, round or square,
about two feet in dimension each
way. After planting, which Is done
in the rainy season, the shoots are
cut down to about two feet. The
orchard is cultivated several times
during the first year. In the second
year the trees are pruncd, from three
TO five branches being left, and are
again pruned in the third and fourth
years. Some people prune every
year, no matter what the age of the
srec may be. The soil is repeatedly
cultivated in all orchards. Twice
Il, al, hn a
orchard is irrigated, water being
procured from wells. In September
the fruit ripens. and is gathered by
spreading sheets under the trees and
shaking the branches. The green
fruit is then taken to the warehouse.
where it is graded to size and after
wards passed through a boiling hot
liquid, in which process it is cleaned
and the outer skin softened.
Ten thousand trays OF fruit spread
out in one unbroken tract may be
seen in Santa Clara in the drying sea-
son. When sufficiently cured, the
pruncs are stored in separate bins
and there allowed to sweat, this pro-
cess taking from ten to twenty days,
when they are ready for marketing.
Ten different grades are required,
ranging from an average of thirty
five to the pound to the smallest size,
averaging one hundred and forty.
The cured fruit is packed in boxes
sacks or barrels. Many buyers for
the domestic or foreign markets buy
in gross, and afterwards repack in
smaller boxes. Large quantities are
thus attractively packed in Santa
Clara. Many women are employed
in this work, which requires special
care and deft fingers. Boxes of the
proper size with one glass face are
used. Lace paper and ornamental
labels add TO the handsome appear
ancC OF the packages. Carefully Sc
lectcd and perfect fruit is nattened
by the hands, and spread out on the
glass to form the exposed layer. The
hOX is then filled to the required
weight by fruit Of corresponding
grade. In fancy packing the French
only can equal the Santa Clara stand
ards. The city Of San Jose is the
prunc metropolis OF the world, as no
where else is this fruit handled in
such amount or by equally scientific
methods. The climate is mild and
thc floral growth is amazingly luXu-
Tiant and beautiful. OF the thirty
thousand inhabitants Of this beauti-
ful city, there is not one but is de-
pendent upon the staple crop for
much Of the prosperity enjoyed.
