The manure Of cattle is generally
poorer than that of any OF the farm
animals on account of It carrying a
greater percentage OF water. It
decomposes slowly and is therefore
good to mix with other manures
that are more inclined to heat.

Strange is it not, that only certain con-
tractors are able to get line the regrade contracts
of Seattle and despite the fact those contracts are let
to the lowest and best bidder the contractors are able
to realize multiplied thousands of dollars out of the

is in collision with the contractors then it is plain to
be seen that all of the contractors of the city are in
collision with themselves and the enormous profits
that are being realized out of the regrade contracts
are being cut up among themselves. II would be a
