Boscobel.
The Boscobel Appeal notices the
bill passed and approved, authorizing
the people at their election on the
39th of March present and next year
to vote q tag of $4,000 for making
q good road to the river. The Ap-
|peal Things the county Of Grant will
render material cid after 2 while in
the matter Of bridging the Wisconsin
river.
This is just what Mr.. Field and
the HERALD concern advocated late,
lly county taxation for such heavy
works as bridges, roads, railroads
and the like. Tit be right to use the
public exchequer for any one OF
these it is for all. The county, some
years since, appropriated $500 to
help improve the Botosi and Dun
leith ROAD parallel case, And what
Idiferepce, id matter Of principle,
were county aid required to build q
railroad somewhere ih the county /?
It vii do to agree that minoritiies
ought not to be taxed without their
consent, but whenever it is to the ia.
teres. of majorities to make great
improvements by means Of taxation.
no respect is paid to the emotional
bewailings of penurious minorities.
We cannot help favoring a liberal
system Of aids from the public ex-
chequer for these dear but needful
locsd improvements. Let us help
Boscobel, and make Boscobef rich ;
and then when Roscobel gets rich
she will help Cassville, Hazel Green,
Jamestoyn. Rotosi, and make them
also rich. This whole matter rests
Just here: Men are selfish, and when
last fall we advocated county aid for
railroads Boscobel kicked up because
she wanted no more railroad now
she wants q bridge built, and would
perhaps quite unanimously accept
some county aid for such very dear
work very well, what says Glen Ha-
ven-rather, what would Glen Ha-
ven say were bridge to build there,
or any other grand work in which
the country twenty miles about were
deeply interested /?
That New Steam Cooking Apparatus.
Two weeks ago we briefly de-
scribed this novelty-the Zimmerman
Steam Cooking apparatus, the right
for Wisconsin and Iowa owned by
Armstrong and Walker, Boscobel,
successors to F. Mcspadcn, who for
tho first time are introducing it in
the Northwest, The proprietors
sent US one with directions to give
the samoa faithful trial. then approve
or condemn and publish the trial res
suits in the HERALD.
The machine was taken to our
house and the woman whom we
should not be willing to swap for
any in the country, having been our
chief cook for twenty-six years and
never making mistakes in this most
Womanly of all arts and duties, has
given it a most faithful trial-the re-.
suits as follows
1t may be Used on any cook stove
or parlor stove, and to cook gen
eral dinner of meats and vegetables
requires some less work and bother
alton and considerably less fuel.
The cooking operation is quick
cned, as steam is some hotter than
boiling water.
The meat chamber, being situated
next above the boiler, the oil or fatty
matter passes down intp the latter,
which is Objectionable as the odors
therefrom may impart a meaty flavor
to the steam. But for soup this
objection would be changed to an ad-
vantage as the water in the boiler
provides a fourth dish.
With the help Of this apparatus a
much smaller stove may be used for
cooking for the largest families-in-
deed the cooking facilities are great
| ~ enlarged and the expense for fuel
and labor very much lessened.
The steam arising from the boiler
is condensed and returns to the boil>
er; the steam arising from the cook.
ing meats and vegetables is also con-
densed and the water therefrom
flows into the boiler, thus disposing
Of the cooking odors, hardly any Of
which escapes to the kitchen or room
where cooking is done. Such odors,
TO many quite offensive, are avoided
by this apparatus. Mrs. Cover says
she would not be without one OF
these contrivances for several times
it's worth-for all Of which we vouch
Persons visiting BoscobcI should
call and see this very useful cooker
