MEXICAN STYLE OF FARMING

The most primitive method of
farming is still carried on in many
parts of Mexico. The blowing is
done by the old time bull tongue,
crooked stick with the point
covered with an iron shoe, which
only scratches the soil.
Corn is planted by hand man
following the pillow, dropping the
seed and covering it with his foot.
1t is cultivated with the same pillow,
which gives very poor results in
destroying the weeds. The fodder
is gathered by pulling the leaves
or blades from the stock, which
are made into bundles and CARR. d
from the fields ny pack mules.
Rice is painted, after the native
pillow has scratched over the land,
by being thrown broadcast, and
covered by hauling bunch of brush
over the land. When the rice is
abont one foot or IS inches high
it is Gu; down with grass hooks; not
even a scythe is used for this
work. This cutting back is said to
make the rice grow more bunchy
and enables the rice plant to get
the best of the weeds, whereas, if
the land had been properly plowed
before planting there would be NO
weeds and this cutting back would
not be necessary. Some eight OF
ten days before cutting or harvest
ing time the water is shut off from
the rice fields to allow the rice ia
ripen, when it is cut with the same
grass hooks. 1t is then piled up for
three days, when it is threshed by
being hand beaten on a rock, Ey
which process five to ten per cent
of the grain remains on the straw
During the eight or ten days the
field is drying out loss Of about
40 per cent. of grain occurs from
various causes.
This style of farming, without
form implements. could be con.
tinued through the long list OF
crops that are raised IN thai
country.-Exchange.

IAN Investment in Manhood was

to the Junior Order American Me-
chanics in the First Baptist church
at the evening service last night.
More than fifty members of the or

No. SO, OF this city, and visitors
from out OF town were at the service
and occupied the front seats In the
church Rev. Mr.. Bawden took his
subject from the sixteenth chapter
OF st Matthew and the latter part
OF the third verse, which says "Ye
can discern the face of the sky, but
can We discern the signs OF the
times2''
In this subject Rev. Mr. Bawden
brought out many good points which
were OF interest to the members OF
the order as we'll as to others of his

VIOLATING ORDINANCES
Piles Of Building Material
and Refuse Often Contain
No Danger Lights.

Wholesale violation of ordinances
governing the placing and guarding
of building material and piles OF dirt
on streets has caused the authori-
ties to resort to strenuous methods
to have them enforced. Commencing
today the police will give word Of
warning to those responsible for the
violations and failure to then comply
with the city regulations Is likely to
mean jail Imprisonment. This order
will hold good in all cases where
piles of material are placed on side
walks or streets without danger
lights. 1t more particularly hits
property owners and contractors,
who are those generally responsible
for such violations.
During the past twenty-four hours
the police found building material
on streets without danger lights in
three places and q pile of dirt on a
sidewalk In another. They claim
the practice OF neglect to place dan
ger lights ON material on streets and
Of placing any kind of building ma
terial or dirt on sidewalks is danger
GUS to life and limb.
Ratrolman Charles Quinn found
building material without q danger
light at William and Division streets
last night Patrolman John Martin
found other piles of building mate
rial without the necessary light at 66
High street and at Market street
and Kearny avenue last night. The
attention of the police WAS also cali
ed to a pile OF dirt on the sidewalk
on State street, near Wayne, last
night.
Parts of Smith street, New Brnns-
wick avenue and State street were
cleaned by employees of the street
department late Saturday night and
yesterday morning so as to give them
a neater appearance over Sunday.
Smith street was cleaned from its
easterly end to the Central railroad
tracks, New Brunswick avenue from
Smith street to the Central railroad
tracks, and State street from Smith
to near Washington street.
These streets were cleaned after
