It is Eaten in Enormous Quantities Without Bad Effect Brussels Letter to London Chronicle. Official figures having been recently quoted to show that the number of horses imported last year from England exceeds 22,000, instead of 6,000, as stated in the Bel- gian chamber, I visited Antwerp with the object of finding out approximately what Proportion of this enormous total is act- ually slaughtered for human consumption. From information placed at my disposal by the director of the city abattoirs, it ap- pears that the bulk of the animals arriving from England find their way direct to the slaughter house. Although the greater part comes from London, the trade is by no means confined to this quarter, the imports in last week's official list showing that no less than 76 were brought from Hull and Newcastle. One dealer in Antwerp alone (an Englishman) disposed of upward of 8,000 horses last year to the local butch- ers. On the other hand, it is positively denied, as far as Antwerp is concerned, that any of the meat finds its way back to England, either in the form of “tinned beef’ or soup. Not a single meet-preserving establishment exists in the city. My informant, who is a stanch adherent of horsefiesh as a ‘‘whole- some and nutritious diet” for the working- men, confirmed the measures about to be taken for guarding against tuberculosis and glanders. A further experiment is to be tried at Rotterdam by subjecting all “suspicious” meat to treatment in steam chambers heated in 110 degrees centigrade (a temperature which has been scientifi- cally proved sufficient to kill the bacillus), and to sell the meat so steamed at prices ranging from 1 franc 5 centimes per kilo (about 6 pence per pound), the residue of the broth included. There are in Antwerp about thirty shops devoted entirely to the sale of horseflesh. 1 visited several of these establishments, but, with the thermometer at 80 degrees in the shade, the meat, of which the bulk had been slaughtered at least two days pre- viously, did not present an appéarance which was calculated to make converts. Still less so were the sausages of dusky hue which appeared to form the staple deli- cacy when the meat ts unfitted for sale in its natural state. The prices run from 4 1-2d. per pound for “prime cuts,” to about 2d. for “scraps.” When it is remembered that, apart from the government ban laid upon imported horseflesh, there is in Bel- gium a duty of nearly 3-4d. per pound on all other imported meat, it is easy to under- stand why Australian mutton is yet prac- tically unknown here, and why among the poorer ses horse is the only flesh food available. ———--+e+-—____ Potato Bugs Fight Army Worms. From the Keading, Pa., Eagle. Cosmus Eckenrode of Pike township, was in Reading yesterday and gave the de- tails of a most extraordinary occurrence wkich happened upon his farm this week. He has a potato patch of about an acre ard a haif, near the western line of his farm, adjuining the land of Samuel Ken- derdine. This place was so infested with potato bugs that, several weeks ago, he gave up any hopes of having a crop, and allowed the bugs to have their own way. In the latter part of last week the army vorms invaded the farm of his neighbor, Mr. Kenderdine, and by Sunday the worms were crossing over into Mr. Eckenrode’s land. Early Sunday morning he found po- tato bugs assembled in countless thousands on the edge of the path nearest to Mr. Ken- derdine's land, and facing the direction from which the army worms were coming. As soon as a worm would come within reach of the bugs one of them would fasten itself upon h's back and begin to eat him, on causing its death. In a short time the worms began to come by the thousands and tens of thousands, and the battle raged mest furiously. The army of potato beetles was appar- ently numberless, and as fast as the army worms came on they were attacked and killed in the way before described. The slaughter went on at such a rate that in a few hours a strip of ground about ten feet wide along the edge of the potato patch was covered to an ave-age of a foot in depth with dead worms. Mr. Eckenrode mates that the dead worms will weigh probably eight tons. He intends to use them for fertilizing purposes. Three Playfal Whales. From the San Francisco Call. Three whales made their way in through Golden Gate yesterday and had a great time of it for two or three hours with the Sausalito and Tiburon ferry boats as they came and went on their hourly trips. Two of the mammals were graybacks, and one, Captain White of the Tiburon is confident, was a sperm. It was of enormous propor- tions, and three times the size of either of the other leviathans. The graybacks spouted about the steamer for over a mile of her course. One of them jumped al- most clear of the water and then sounded. The last seen of him was his tail, which waved for an instant in the air and then vanished. The sperm whale remained by the Tiburon for a time, and then it also seuk out of sight. On the return trip they again put in an appearance, aad Captain White came to the conclusion that they were feeding on the small fish with which the bay abounds at this time of the year. They did not seem to be afraid of the steamer, and evi- dently took her and the noise she was mak- ing for one of their own kind at play. It wevld probably fare badly with any of the bay craft that should happen to strike cne of these monsters on a dark night. The last seen of the trio they were work- ing their way slowly back to the head. ———_+e+—_____ _A New Herd of Buffaloes. From a Sin Antonio Special. Several weeks ago Dr. J. B. Taylor, the wealthy Texas stockman, sent three ex- perlenced cowboys and frontiersmen in search of the herd of wild buffalo which was discovered in Brewster county two years ago, and has been seen several times since then. The hunters have just returned from thelr trip, which, they state, was a success. They found the herd of buffalo, numbering about eighty head, in a remote section of Presidio county. The animals were trailed by the hunters from the Carmen mountains, in Mexico. Now that the exact location of the herd 1s again known, it is Dr. Taylor's intention to start with his expedition, which has been organized for several month, and round up the animals and place them all on his ranch in Tom Green county. padre a ne Wilson May Help Dayton.

Last night's republican “love feast” did not close until after midnight, and was par- ticipated in by the most prominent members of the party in the state. Among the speak- ers was the Hon. Alston G. Dayton, who made a great hit by eulogizing Postmaster General Wilson, his opponent in ’94, who, he predicted, would not only vote for him this year, but would strongly advocate his election. Congressman Dayton was asked this morning whether he really believed that Postmaster General Wilson would support him this campaign, and replied that he was sincere In his statement last night, and certainly thought that he would have not only the support but also the aid of his late opponent. - e+ __ A Tough Baby.

THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JULY 80, 1896-TWELVE PAGES, CONTRACTOR DAGGETT AGAIN. He Continues to Declare That the Con: tract System is Best. = To the Editor of The Evening Star: Misrepresenting my position will not re- fute any of my propositions, nor quoting what some eminent authority may have said about washing asphalt streets in New York will not show that I am not comply- ing with my contract for sweeping them here. If the citizens of the capital want the streets washed and “‘squeegeed” I am ready to do that if the money is provided for the service. I am ready to “squeegee. I am not “restive” at any suggestions in the line of the work I contracted to per- ferm, and I do not object to criticism. L do object to unfair statements that are not borne out by the facts. You said the streets ought to be wet until the dirt was liquefied before it was swept up—and the very day you said it my men and machines were ordered off the streets because “they were too wet to sweep.” Whom shall I obey, the government agents, who have had years of experience in th: business, or the citizen who has had none You say I would have you believe that “there is no pecuniary advantage in light sprinkling and light sweeping, when we know that the use of twice as much water would mean twice as much time lost in filling the sprinklers, while increased pres- sure of brooms on the street surface would shorten the broom life materially and ex- penstvely.”” Indeed! and that answers my statement that there is no pecuniary advantage to me in such a performance. Why ngt say the contractor could lessen the expense if he didn’t sprinkle at all, and only drove his machines over the streets without putting his brooms down on the pavement? It would be stronger, but no nearer the truth. A broom lasts me seven days. In New York and Brooklyn it lasts twen- ty-four. According to The Star's reasoning the contractor in Brooklyn and the munici- pal authorities in New York must put their rooms down very lightly to make this difference. Doesn't that look reasonable? Well, it isn’t. The pavements in those cities do not wear out the brooms, hence they last longer. The sweeping is the same. I reiterate that there is no pecuni- ary profit to me in light sprinkling and light brooming, and while I may not be able to prove it within the limits of a newspaper article, I stand ready to do so to any one at any time. The inspectors are either honest men or they are knaves and fools. They inspect every square yard of work done by me while it is being done, and, in the pee te the route is ey gO over it again with my superin- tendent and assistants. Any” importect work is either done over or it is disallowed and payment therefor refused. “he superintendent of street lays out the contractor's routes in accord. ance with the money he has to expend on the service, and all I have to do is to go over them and clean them to his satisfac. tion. Is it not fair to assume that after eae is emserperience in his duties he them?® *#8lstants are honestly performing Now, as to the best method of sweeping, I unhesitatingly assert that the less water fs thrown the cleaner will be the street that is swept; but as this would in. volve a cloud of dust, more water is thrown than is good for perfect sweeping. I have seen as much dust arise from throwing the water on a dirty street as a machine will make in sweeping. You say it is a digression to endeavor to shift the blame on Congress because the appropriation is not sufficient to have the streets swept as frequently as they ought to be. Well, it may be, but it is a digres- sion in the right direction. Clean streets will only come from sweeping them often enough to keep them clean, and this cannot be done with the money now appropriated. In another column of your paper this eventing Is an account of the sweeping as It is done, which seems to Indicate that the contractor is doing his duty. This is the evidence of your own reporter, and the very greatest difficulty he found to be overcome was the sweeping of the streets cut off on one night, owing to raia, on the following night, and rere is exactly where Congress comes in again. The money has been pro- Vided to sweep a certain territory each night, and if it is not done on the night scheduled it can't be done at all, for the simple reason that no work can be added to the next night’s schedule because of lack of money to pay for it. Let The Star turn an occasional battery on the appro- priating power, and it may help to do away with one of the difficulties in the way of clean streets. As I do not intend to again occupy your coiumns, and as so much has been said in the past by anonymous writers, which I know to have been inspired, not so much in the interest of clean streets, as in spite against the contractor or the government agents, I desire to state that I took this contract at one-third lower rate than was paid the former contractor: that I employed all the men who worked for him at the end of his contract, and have retained them ever since; that my men are the best men to be found, and have had from six to six- teen years’ experience in the business; that I have the best machines on the market— conceded to be so by all the people in the business; that I have bought only the hest horses, there being no old plugs among them; that I buy the best oats and hay in the market and feed plenty of it—in fact, I have the very best plant that money would buy. I am engaged tn a business that must of necessity inconvenience some one, and my aim ts to do as little of that as possible. I claim that I am fully and fairly carry- ing out my contract, and that what ought to be or might be done under some other contract or other way of doing the same work has nothing to do with the service which I contracted to do. I am prepared to prove all that I said about the day's labor system, and I reply to the query of The Star, “How about New York city?” that the only stree:s cleaned under the present system are those on which a very large force of men is em- ployed with hand brooms and hoes, at a very great expense; that even the present superintendent of street cleaning stated publicly and often that the expense was very much greater than it should be, owing to the extravagant wages pald the men under act of the legislature. It may be news to The Star, but it is a fact that the part of New York which has been the cleanest for years is the oMy part that has been done by contract, and that is from 14th street co the Battery on Broadway and the streets crossing it for a short dis- tance on each side. If comparisons are in order, we can find them at home. Pennsylvania avenue is scraped by contract for 40 per cent less than it was done by day’s labor within the past three or four years—and it must be done as well, as the same inspectors are employed to pass upon it now as then. I venture to say that four-fifths of all the private buildings and improvements in this city are done under contract, and bet- ter and cheaper done than they would be by day’s labor—that in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, 8t. Louts, Jersey City, Newark, Albany, Troy— and, in fact, nearly every city in the United States, the contract system {is in vogue, and that as this is the fact, it will take More than the mere assertion that the work can be done better by day’s labor to convince the taxpayers that such is the fact. ALBERT DAGGETT. More About Street Sweeping. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: I read with no little curiosity in yester- day's Star your reporter's interesting ac- ecunt of his “early morning inspection tour” with the superintendent of the con- tractor for cleaning our streets. Would it rot have been better if the reporter had made a tour by himself, without the knowledge of the superintendent or even with a government inspector? Of course that not disinterested functionary could hardly be expected to permit his guest to come in contact with other than “gilt- edged” results, “inasmuch as the inspec- tion tour had been arranged in advance,” as the reporter himself informs us. Un- der the circumstances moderately good- sersed persons must come to the inevita- ble conclusion that every broom was set to bear its heaviest, and the men sweeping the gutters and those carting away the dirt did their cleanest work, and that the results could hardly have been “in every respect normal and ordinary.” And then, isn’t the statement that the force consists of “over two hundred men and more than a hundred horses” rather mythical? One of the complaints frequently made is that the contractor’s force is inudequate to properly perform the tasks given him from night to night, and therefore he must slight his work or violate the “specifica- tions,” which read, “The sweeping must be done between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the summer and 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in the winter.” As a matter of fact, to which many of our citizens who have had clouds of filthy dust thrown into their faces when sitting in front yards or on their stoops can testify, the sweeping process more frequently commences not later than 8 p.m., and on many a morning the dirt cleaning carts have been seen “slowly making thetr way back to the stables” as late as 9 and 10 o'clock, whichz:would most- certainly seem to, show thatithe contractor has not @ force sufficient’ to properly do his work within the hours requir. The specifications uire “that each street will be first wprinkled by a watering cart to lay the dust.” Now, as is well known, most of the streets are not sprin- kled, as the specifications evidently require them to be. The“Sprinkler goes along in the center of thei, leaving a strip any- where from six toxten feet from the curb- stones untouched the water. Is this in compliance with, the contract? a CITIZEN. —— MILKING BY MACHINERY. 1 Tells How the Work is Bone in Sweden. One of the most interesting reports issued from the State Department for some time has just made its‘ appearance. It is from Thomas B. O'Neill, United States consul at Stockholm, Sweden, and is a description of a milking machine in use in that coun- try. The repert will be read with delight by the farmers and their wives and daugh- ters. It is as follone: By friendly permission of Dr. de Laval, I had the pleasure of seeing this wonder- ful apparatus in operation on his estate, Idlla_ Ursvik, Spanga county, Sweden, where experiments have been going on since October last under the management of Mr. Abr. Forssell. It has been thoroughly tested and found perfectly satisfactory to introduce to farm owners. The milking itself—that is, the evacuaticn of the udder—is effected by mere mechanical working of the teat, and not, as lately appeared in the press, by combined squeezing and sucking. Arti- ficial suction has proved to be rather im- practical and injurious when repeated too often, and this is the reason why such a method has been omitted in constructing the lactator. The milking is done by two special “‘or- gans,” or a pajr of cylindrical rubber roll- ers, that catch the teat at the root, thus shuttirg off the milk therein. The rollers then move downward to the lower part of the teat, from whence the milk is squeezed out by two plates moving paral- lel with each other. The function of the rollers is rendered possible by a hold above —the s--called roof that is regularly moved against the udder, whereby a slight thrust is given to the udder, something like the knock that the calf gives when sucking, which facilitates the descending of the milk in the teats, as well as the secretion of the milk in the vesicles of the udder. Every milking machine kas four differ- ent arms, one for each teat, which, al- though with joint axle, work independ- ently of each other, and even alternate in their movements, Their adaptation to the udder is done instantly. The arms move very easily on joint and spring attach- ments in every direction without losing the necessary steadiness. The pressure against ths udder is effected through the apparatus being fastened on to a horizon- tal rod, and so balanced that the front part, which contains the driving mechan- ism, and is consequently heavier, presses the lighter back part against the udder. This pressure can be increased, if neces- sary, by lording the front part still more. The axle that is common to the four arms acts on a very ingenious, but, at the same time, very simple system of eccen- tric pulleys and levers. The rotation of the axle {s effected through a cord that is led over the heads of the cows, and is common to all the machines. Through a simple coupling, this cord gives speedy ro- tation to a flexible axle, through which the rotation 1s c¢crmmunicated to the axle of the four arms by means of a coupling, which is done in’ an’instant. The placing of-the apparatus on the cow is a very easy: performance. A belt that carries the rod is strapped on the cow with a single buckle. The apparatus is first started and then put on the rod, and the different arms:are, adjusted under their respective teats, which the rollers then im- mediately seize, and the milking begins. The m.lk is ‘éonducted through funnel- shaped so-called “teat protectors’ and short rubber tubes to a small tin cup that is hanging in these tubes, from whence through a vacuym arrangement It is drawn up to a tin bucket that hangs over the head of the cow From the moment the milk leaves the teat protectors till it gets into the tin bucket, !t has not had any con- nection with the’ outer air. Even’ if the apparatus work’ «‘while after the udder gives no more milk, and consequently the tin cup also becomes empty, no air enters on account of an automatic arrangement, and this has the result that the milk is as free as possible from bacteria and keeps longer. By usinz the lactator the great trouble to procure and control dairy maids is avoided; besides, the milking is done in a sufficiently clean manner to meet all hy- Blenic demands. The dairy products will, of course, at the same time keep longer and become more valuable. The cows seem to enjoy being treated by the machine. soe The Naval Militia Inspection. Assistant Secretary McAdoo has practi- cally completed his annual inspection of the naval militla organizations of the sev- eral states and has also received from na- val officers specially assigned reports em- bodying the results of their technical in- spection of these organizations while they were in camp or at sea in drills. Mr. Mc- Adoo says that on the whole the annual exercises were highly successful. The ant- mating purpose was to compress the whole picgram into one week, and this was ef- fected with praiseworthy success by the naval officers charged with its execution. —re-+ AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c.
