A MUNICIPAL BUSINESS MAN AGEK


The forward trend of governmental
form, the effort to find a system which
will be proof against the evils disclos-
ed in the past, is one of the marvels of
our time, and from this experiment
and that, from one new theory or an
other, a decisively upward step is
bound to come.
The secret of it all, whether nation,
state, county or city, lies in the elimi-
nation so far as possible, of partisan,
petty politics, an elimination that
should be complete so far as the
county and city are concerned. Ger
many has a system which to many,
though realizing it would be hard to
adapt identically in this country
seems the most efficient form evolved.
There a man who wants to be mayor
makes life profession of it, starting
in as the executive of a small munich
pality and being promoted from a
smaller to a larger city as his efficien'
Cys MS ABILITY 6TOWS.
Somewhat similar to it and some
thing that may lead to practically the
same system in this country, If it is
generally adopted, is the experiment
that is just being essayed by the city
of Dayton, Ohio, a municipality con-
siderably larger than Tacoma. 1t was
explained in this manner in recent
editorial in the Seattle Post-Intelli.
gencer:
The commission form of government
is adopted to this extent, that the new
charter provides for the election of
five commissioners. Their duties, how
ever, are to be entirely legislative. The
entire administration of the city is to
be under the direction of a trained city
manager, to be selected by the com
mission ceases to have control over his
actions.
The administration of the city Is di
vided into five departments, the heads
of which are to be appointed by the
city's manager All OF the remaining
employees of the city are under civil
service rules. A new department is
provided, that of social welfare, the
head of which has the duties, in add
ton to supervision of the department
of health. parks and Fairgrounds, OF
making inquiries into the cause of pow
erty and disease and to make recon-
mendations to the city's Legislative
body from time to time.
The charter also requires scientific
budget, complete auditing of the city
accounts, modern accounting system
purchasing agent, standardizing o.
city supplies, and time and service rec
Ords.
In short, in framing the charter i
has been the purpose to create cit!
government on lines identical will
those under which the most highly eff
cient and successful of modern private
corporations are now conducted.
That Is an end highly to be desired
and Dayton's experiment will be watch
ed closely by those thinking people o
this country who are seeking gov
ernmental form of greatest usefulness
But we must remember that howeve
excellent the form theoretically, it
final success depends wholly on tn
people themselves, upon how great Ell
ficiency, how much service, honest
and virtue they demand.
The best governmental form can b
turned to INSCRIPTIONS purposes b
INSCRIPTIONS officers, If the people PEI
NIT; the laxest system can be mad
the best in practice If the people choos
the right officers and demand the bes
service.

and keeps the horse in fine condition.

Starting a Blackberry Patch.

New paintings of blackberries
should be made just as soon as the
ground is free from frost and dry
enough to work with. Plant the cut
tings in rows, three feet apart in the
row, and have the rows from six to
eight feet apart. Remember that
blackberries multiply and form a solid
row of canes in comparatively short
time, hence do not plant too thickly.
Blackberries will grow in almost
any soil, but it must not, be too dry
location, as they require good deal
of water or the fruit will be dry and
pithy.
They seem to do better in a mod.
erately good soil than in a very rich
one, as excessive feeding produces
stalks and leaves instead of fruit.
The seed bed should be well pre-
pared and leveled before putting in
the cuttings. In setting, be sure to
get the earth firm about the cuttings,
and water occasionally during the
first month.
Blackberries will need some cultiva.
tion, particularly during the first
year. A good plan is to grow low
garden crops between the rows and
give them ordinary vegetable cultiva-
tion. This will make the ground yield
two crops for one cultivation.
Do not allow the berry rows to
spread more than two feet wide. They
will form a solid mass unless kept
down between the rows.
Prune in the fall or winter by re-
moving all of the old stalks, cutting
them of at the ground. Cut back the
new wood a half with the pruning
shears. This causes the formation of
fruit buds instead of wood and leaves.
There are rather large number of
good varieties to select from and your
scotsman will be glad to advise you
regarding which to plant. Early bear
ing varieties like Early Harvest and
Snyder do excellently in northern lat
itudes as well as in the south. FL
dorado is an old standby with small
fruit farmers and 1t is not subject to
the parasitic disease known as black
berry cane rust. This disease is hard
to overcome and the best cure is to
cut out all infected canes as soon as
the rusty spots are noticed.
Blackberries are hardy and bear
every year. The fruit is delicious.
either preserved or fresh, and it can
be made into excellent wine or cor.
dial.
On a larger scale one can count on
selling at least an average Of 5000
worth Of berries yearly per acre, and
often as high as $500 to $500 worth.
The expense Of cultivation and pick
ing running about $50 per acre. This
offers an excellent proposition to the
suburbanite with few acres.

"HoW to Feed Your Horse"

Over one-half of the diseases which
horses are subject to are caused by
wrong feeding. Correct feeding is
really such a simple matter that there
is no reason why every horse should
not be fed properly. Violation of
one Of few simple rules spells death
to thousands Of horses every year.
1t will pay every horse owner to learn
these rules by heart and put them
into practice. Here they are:
"Horse Feeding Rules"
1. Do not feed too much or too lit
tie. Feed just enough to hold the ami
mails weight while doing his work
properly. For a 1,000-pound horse on
full work normal ration is 10 pounds
Of timothy or mixed hay and 12
pounds Of oats a day.
2. Feed three times a day and at
the same time each day. Regularity
keeps the horse from fretting and
aids digestion.
3. Do not feed grain or water when
too warm and tired. Wait half an
hour, feeding a little hay. When a
horse is too warm for water he is too
warm for grain.
4. Water before feeding, except a
little hay while cooling on. If you wa
ter after feeding the horse drinks too
much and it chills the stomach and
interferes with digestion. Give all
the water ne wants. but at the proper
time. Even very warm horse may
have a dozen swallows II he Is kept
travelling for while afterward. Wa
ter too dirty or stale for you to drink
Is too dirty for your horse. Give clean
water only.

GRADING Hons

Hogs of different ages and sizes
will not do well in one herd. They
should be separated into small herds,
according to their ages and conditions.
Sows and growing pigs should not be
allowed to be in the same lot with
fattening hogs. The excessive corn
diet is not so good for their growth
and production, and with large fatten.
ing hogs the smaller ones will be
crowded and injured.
