Hop FARMs,-For dozen or more
years, Sank has been the great hop
county of Wisconsin, and some hum
dreds of TIE farmers have become so
rich at the business as 20 be quite
spoiled for usefulness. For some
years the price of hops has been 60
ing up, and it Has been quite com
mon TO pay fer farm from single
crop. The past crop, brought from
so to 90 cents per pound, which is
above any proceeding rate, and buy
ers are already going about offering
to contract and advance money on
crops OF next season ut 40 cents per
pound. For some time we have been
boxing up some reliable information
on hop culture and all that belongs
10 the business, and we have been so
fortunate as to come across half a
dozen columns Of information that
will stand criticism. The same will
appear in the Herald next week.
In looking over the Sank county
papers, we find among numerous ad
vertisements couple Of hop farms
for saie-one OF which paid for itself
last year, yielding 2,s60 of hops to
the acre. Another yields the sec
ond year from setting the roots, 1900
Dis from four acres. See Herald

hop question.

To the Legislature
The circumstances which attend

culsted TO call forth our deepest graft
ltude to the Creator for the meroiful
kindness with which He has guided
US, as a people, through the year Just

grown weary Of showering upon us
blessings Of richest profuson. His
gracious smile has rested continually
upon every department of oui indus
try, browning the husbandman, the
miner, the manufacturer, and the la
borer, with the rewards for which
they toiled. Our resources have
been developed, capital has largely
increased, our population has been
swollen by the influx of hardy, hon.
est emigrants neither pestilence nor
famine has been permitted to gain
Judgement in our midst. The year
has been marked by no glaring in
fraction of the public peace, but law
and order have reigned supreme with
in our borders.
Heartily do l congratulate you,
gentlemen, and through you our
common constituents, upon the gem

you in imploring continuance of
Gods goodness and care to our be,
loved commonwealth.

sisted of two bright circles cutting
each other, one of which had the
moon for its center, the other center
west, near the meridian, the eastern
limit of circle touching the moon.
The side lights were quite brilliant,
and their nodes showing the prismat-
ic eolors. 1t was altogether a grand
display of reflected lights. Such ex-
hibitioDs arc only seen during worry
