These are all the Sundays referred

shown by the 81 texts in the New

but ARE read" thus bearing witness
to time honored custom. We are

Ottumwa Courier, OttumWa. "a
Dear Sirs: We have in use four
automatic street fushers and they
give entire satisfaction. We use them
on asphalt, creosoted block and brick
pavement. Our brick pavements,
however, are largely filled with cement.
It is probable that on sand filed brick
streets constant use would cut out the
sand filed, but an occasional use OF
flushers on such pavement would not
materially injure 1t.
These flushers are coming into gen.
eral use. We have used them IN Des
Moines about four years. Last year
both New York and Chicago added
large number of these flushers 10
their street cleaning equipment. II
can give you further information
will be pleased to do So
Yours truly,
John MacVicar.
P. fS.-These fushers cost about
81 100000 EACH. NOV.
Mr. Macvicar was asked particularly
as to the effect Of the fusher on SAND
filled pavements, because much OF the
Ottumwa paving is sand filed. It Will
be noticed that he expressed the opin-
ion that occasional use OF fushers
would not materially injure this
character Of paving. An OttumWa
engineer, asked the same question,
stated that no damage would be done
to the sand filled streets where the
traffic was not sufficiently heavy 20
wear off the corners of the bricks In
the down town district he thought that
too much flushing might wash out the
sand nlling, but he agreed with Mr.
Macvicar that occasional flushing
would not injure the paving.
The other day Mayor Phillips had
a force of men flush the main travelled
down town streets with fire hose, the
usual city water pressure being used.
Some of the streets flushed by this
means were sand filled An investiga-
ton will show that no injury was done
these streets by washing off the
winters accumulation Of mud and Ice.
There is no doubt that these sand
filed streets could be kept clean with
out nushtng them constantly. It would
be an easy matter to put in the hard
est work on the cement and pitch
filed streets, and to flush the sand
day evening for a visit in Des Moines
filed streets with less frequency, and,
perhaps with reduced pressure.
Ottumwa now has fifteen miles OF
street paving In addition to. this con
tracts have been let for more than
$4,000 square yards of paving, and
resolutions are being prepared calling
for the construction Of $4,000 square
Yards more. Some preparation must
be made for taking care of these paved
streets.
II one or two of these fushers will
keep our streets clean, then they
ought to be secured The streets must
be kept clean.

DR.. Howell's Big Apple Crop.

DR.. John c. Howell has a fine
orchard farm in Rails county, To-
Gated about / 1-2 miles northwest
of Saverton. There are $500 bear
ing trees in this orchard and the
trees are in a thrifty and healthy
condition. DR.. Howell rents his
farm out on shares, his tenant re-
ceiving one half of the products.
Yesterday the tenant hauled to
Hannibal DR.. Howells share of this
years apple crop which consisted
of one small Missouri pippin. DR..
Howell says that he has one of the
most honest and conscientious ten
ants to be found anywhere and
that he is perfectly satisfied that he
got his full share of the apple crop.
DR.. Howell had the little red apple
wrap ed in fine tissue paper and
carried it aronnd in his hip pocket
all day yesterday showing it to his
friends and telling them it was his
full share of the crop of his $500
bearing apple trees. He says he
knows that he got all that was
coming to him for he visited the
orchard a few weeks ago and that
there were but two apples in the
entire orchard. When he raises
another crop like this his orchard
farm will be for sale. - Hannibal

Clifford Pinchot, in a speech at
Denver August 29th, passed this
hot query up to the Republican
leaders:
The great movement that is
sweeping the country call it in
surgency or what you will is the
idea that it is better worth while to
help the small man making a living
than to help the big man make a
profit. If / were making a politi-
cal speech | would ask the authors
of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill if
they had that idea in mind when
they framed that measure"

Raising Corn With Weeds In
South Carolina

The old-time average of eighteen
million bushels of corn per year
has, during the past ten years,
jumped to about fifty million BUSH
els for 1910 in South Carolina. For
generations the only crop raised
was cotton; now corn is the thing
Here it was that an Iowa farmer
came down and raised corn on a
new plan. Weeds we're allowed to
grow with the crop until it was a
foot and a half high, then the weeds
were destroyed and fertilizer applied
after the corn WIS well under way.
With a stunted stalk the fertilizer
forced the yield into the ear. The
weeds did not choke out the corn;
the experiment was a success, and
seems to mark a new departure in
corn cultivation. From The Har-
vest of 1910" in the National Mag

Red Cedar Fences.

Travelling through Virginia re-
Gently, | was reminded of the rapid
passing of the old zigzag fence, that
ancient cedar fence rail which an
tedates the days of the revolution
and reminds us of the biography of
Abraham Lincoln, Years have
passed and the Virginia fence has
gone through the various STAGES of
abandonment and become as piCt-
ureSque as the old New England
stone wall, covered with vine and
shrub. Now the manufacturers of
cedar lead pencils have discovered
that the rails used in these fences
are an excellent grade of cedar, old
and thoroughly seaoned. The
scarcity of fresh cedar has placed a
premium on the zigzag fence; mil
lions of rails land fences from the
South will soon be converted into
pencils to be piled by the school

graph office, and indeed by almost
everyone, in inditing communica-
tions that thrill with the activities

The pecan is indigenous t. M
San Antonio country. Nearly Sals
of the waterways are lined with
magnificent trees. In great many
places. the pecaps are cultivated
and the industry is highly profit
able. P. B. McClurg of San Saba
County, a we'll known grower, claims
that he has one tree that made
$3.50 worth of pecans last year.
Some idea of this return may be
gained from the fact that a yield of
a dollar a tree is profitable since
by planting the trees thirty feet
apart forty-nine will grow to the
acre. A dollar tree is the esti-
mated yield when they first begin
to bear, and expert growers claim
that for each year thereafter, up to
twenty years, the value of the crop
increases ST a year for each tree.
They figure from $500 to $400 as
an average.
San Antonio has the largest Pc
can rehandling factory in the world
and is the center where the great
nut crop of the Southwest is con-
centrated. The pecan ranks first
as a table nut and first in food
value over all other nuts, as it con.
tains the highest percentage of food
oil and other nutritive qualities.
