to-day with addresses in Detroit and
before 5000 students OF the University
OF Michigan in this city.
Detroit received the two New York

the auditorium Of the Detroit Board Of

the whole proposition in much the same
spirit that ;hcy would look over new

At the University Of Michigan this
afternoon enthusiasm for the war,
which both speakers predicted would

pronounced.

(To be continued.)'

During our Mexican war under Gen.
Winfield Scott 100000 troops were en-
ployed. and on.y 10000 of this number
were OF the militia. Scott was much
handicapped, '.owever, by the custom
nj short enlistments. and the total
absence of system pertaining thereto.
The commander learned on reaching
Pueblo that seven Of his eleven regi-
ments had decided to terminate their
services at the epd of the year. a prob
lem that was only solved by the lack
OF vitality Of the Mexican forces.

.SHUN ALL THE MANURE
FROM TARRED STREETS
Sweepings From Oil Roads or
Tar Pavements Are Likely
to Ruin Garden.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Those who
use street sweepings to fertilize gar
dens should avoid manure that con-
tains oil or tar. Either of these sub
stances is harmful to plants, special
lists in the department of agriculture
warn. Sweepings from tarred pave
ments or oiled roads are likely to con-
tain them. Oil droppings from motor
cars often mix with such waste, also.
If sweepings are collected with some
care and before rain or water from
street sprinklers have reached them
and washed out the elements of fer
tilzing value, they can be used ad-
vantageously.
In connection with the spread of the
city gardening movement, now popu-
lar thruout the country, the depart
ment Of agriculture believes warning
in regard to oil and tar damage should
be given. A specialist in the bureau
of chemistry cites an instance of
damage done to IA garden near silver
Spring, Montgomery county. Mr., on
which unsorted street sweepings from
the District of Columbia were used
This garden. according to the special
lst, was ruined by the tar products In
the fertilizer and it.Was necessary to
remove the top soil End resurface the
entire plot with new soil. 1t is sug-
gested by this official that with some
attention to detail II might be possible
20 collect sweepings from streets that
are not tarred. ana perhaps from
other public places.
