a Varied Industry.


The present season has been a remarkable
one, and one peculiarly illustrative of the ne
cessity of a varied industry among our farm
err With our old style of farming, the sea-
son would have been an extremely disastrous
one, but as it is, there are very few farmers in
Kenosha County, who will feel particularly the
untowardness of the season. Formerly, the
wheat crop was abont the only one relied upon
for profit. Some coarse grains were raised but
they were not relied upon for more than home
consumption, or merely as d fallow crop. Now
in addition to the wheat crop, there is on al
most every farm the wool clip, to many bring
ing in larger income than the whole farm
used to when devoted to the cereals alone
Then there is the few acres of fax which is al
most sure for $45 or $50 per acre; and the few
acres of Sorghum, and the few acres of broom
corn Then there is the growing stock-hors-
es and cattle-another fruitful source Of in
come. And then, to many Of our farmers, the
manufacture of cheese is becoming a settled
branch of industry, and very profitable one.
Especially is this the case in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie. With all these various branches
of industry to rely upon, a few weeks of rain
in harvest time, or an untimely frost in Sep
TENDER, will not entail year of "hard tines
upon the population of our county.
We were led into the above train ofthOughts
by the contemplation of bunch of hops hand
ed to us by our friend, Bob Whitaker, from
some of the hop yards of Sank County The
piece of vine is not more than Is inches in
length, and yet there is nearly pound of hops
upon it. This branch was takeu from yard
of ~ acres that yielded its proprietor this sea
son an income of 81 800 over and above all eX-
pense of cultivation, gathering, drying, ETC.
1t has been suggested to us that some of our
farmers ought to experiment in Hop growing
1t is said that the soil is propitious and the on
ly drawback to be feared, the prevailing north
east wind. The spot chosen for yard should
be as much protected as possible in that re-
spect. There is hardly farmer in the County
that could not spare one, two, three or five
acres for such purpose, and net income of
$500 to $500 per acre from such source would
not be bad to take. The hop crop alone of
Sank Co., this season, has Melted the people
over $600,0

THINE, of the town of Wheatland, will be of
fered by his friends to the Republican County
Convention for nomination for the Office
of Sheriff
Mr.. Timme presents strong claim for the
sufTrages of his fellow citizens. He served as
private in the old LIST Wisconsin Infantry, for
nearly three years until he lost his left arm at
the battle of Chicamauga. As an evidence OF

A Word to Teachers.-As tn

A Word TO Teachers.@As the time
is drawing near for the annual session OF the
Teachers Institute, we desire to improve the
occasion by drawing the attention of the teach-
Iers who will be there assembled, to the duty
they owe the rising generation, of properly in
structing them in the fundamental principles
of free government, which form the corner
stone on, which our political structure isbuilt
1t is fact needing no proof, that had the mass
es at the South been taught bread and know
| for themselves, instead of being led by the
passionate harrangues of their willy politicians
the late war would never have been. To guard
against the recurrence of such scenes, let each
teacher who has the charge of school this
winter, strive to instil within the minds OF his
pupils veneration for the government under
which they live, and for the flag for which so
many have died. Don't call it politics. Ifyou
do, you will secure theill will of portion at
least of your patrons, and you will be unable
to awaken interest in your pupils; politics are
proverbially dull to youthful minds. But you
can, within the bounds of propriety, contrast
the condition of the youths of America, with
that ofthe oppressed people of other countries;
you can remind them of the fact that this Is
because we live in country where the people
govern themselves-that the oppressed of 9th
er nations are watching us with intense inter
est, to see if our grand experiment of Free In
situations is to be a success or not. You can
tell them that our failure to establish the fact
that mankind is capable of self-government,
will set back the cause of human liberty for
generations, perhaps for centuries. These facts
are commonplace, but they are broad, COM
prehensive truths and will bear repetition.
Let the young be instructed in the outlines
of the machinery of government-awaken in
them an interest in the subject, so that they
will study for themselves, the political ques-
lions which divide men into parties, that when
they become men, they may vote knowingly,
instead of being, as is now too often the case,
the tools of aspiring, unscrupulous politicians

The Scripture SAITH that "Hope is an anchor

the unfortunate's only comfort in adversely,

contentment to that mother who sees her dar-
ling child attacked by the ghost of the deadly

Sweet PotatOes.-Our friend, Hosea
Barnes, left upon our table a few days since,
a mess of Sweet Potatoes of his own culture
and they were just as nice as any we have seen
good size and of delicious flavor, These po-
tatoes, of the White Nausemond variety, were
from plants of Mr.. Barnes own raising, and he
informs us that his experience will enable him
to furnish any quantity of plants another
spring. Mr., Dearsley, of the town of Somers,
has, we understand, raised about 100 bushels
of this delicious esculent this season. -

The NInIdcn,s VOW.

The Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is
not without its story of love aud ro-
nance. Some twenty years ago dash
ine Tennessee girl promised her mother
that she would never marry a certain
man con the face of the earth '--said
suitor being particularly objectionable to
the old lady. so there was quiet in the
family for some time. But one pleasant
day the gay girl and her lover ran away
and went into the cave, to spot now
called the oBrldal Chamber" and in the
presence of a few witnesses were they
matrimonially united, about 325 feet
below the "facc of the earth"
