MADISON Aug 9--The location Of the
new Hospital for the Insane is all unset
tied again. On the final report Of the
surveyor appointed to examine the site
selected near Oshkosh, and conference
~ith him and the architects, Governor
Fairebild has deeided not to approve the
site, and will so report to meeting Of
the Commissioners called to night The
principal reasons are understood to be
that forty acres of the tract Of three bun
bred acres is wet marsh, cons iderab Y
more than any of the Commissioners
supposed; also, that one building site
proposed is rather near the marsh, and
the elevation of the other is pronounced
by tho architect, owing 10 their distance
from the lake, insufficient for effective
drainage. There is some talh of the
Commissioners amending thar report,
but the probability is that site in some
other place-most likely Green Bay
will be chosen.

Reliable Life Insurance is furnish-
ed in this Company at its abso.

the ordinary rate, thus enabling all
glasses to insure. 1t is well known. that
old companies have become. immensely
rich after paying large sums to get bus
mess and keeping up very expensive eJ-
Establishments.
Taking the experience os forty-four
companies doing business in New York
last year, according to Barnes Report,
the cost OF insurance, BY loss from deaths,
was about sig dollars per thousand dol
lars, while their rates for insurance
range from lo1r 10 ten times that amount.
Many business men, learning this fact
are surrendering their policies in Old
companies aad taking insurance, on the

which 100000 is deposited with the
State Treasurer, thus complying with the
nsTancs law of the State, and giving
stability aad permanently to the Com,

I, cost the Railroad Conductors last
year about nine dollars on $1,000 insu-
rance, and all losses we're paid within
thi'ty days. 80 far, after three or four

STRAWBERRIES.-lt has become
fairly settled as the only sound meth
od ofcultiyatimg the strawberry that
the plants must be kept free from
runners. The effect of this practice
is wonderful. The whole growth Of
the plant is concentrated by this
means in the original stock, and it
cnlargeS, until as many as quart
of berries have been plucked from
a single plant. 1t will be under
stood that this method is followed
only with such plants as are not
raised with a view of propagation,
but are permanent varieties, set out
for family use. In order TO sell, the
runners must be encouraged. After
all the endless list of varieties which
have been eXtolled as the best, the
Wilson retains its position as the
best market berry. Much will be

Farm, Garden and Kitchen.

AT an agricultural fair in MaSsa-
chusetts, not long since, a farmer
entered for a premium his piles of
manure, made as follows:
About the middle of MAY he com
Menced cartiug into his yard sea
weed, sods from ridges where fences
had been, and meadow muck, mix
Ing with the droppings Of cows, !
horse, / bull, and an average Of six
hogs. Daring the months there
were used 80 loads muck. 30 loads
seawecd. 50 loads sods, and all the
refuse bedding and green matter
that was around the farm. The
cost per load was as follows: muck
10 cents: seaweed, 30 cents; sodS,
10 cents; total for all S2S.
AT the end of the time there were
found to be about 200 cubic feet OF
manure, which az II cubic feet per
loa1 makes 30 loads of 20 bushels
eich, at IA cost of only SIS; yet
worth as much as 81 per load, 500.
When asked hop il uas dome. he
said: BY stabling all cows and hors
cs at night, and by carefully saving
all refuse matter that is usually
thrown aside, forming unsightly
heaps. Wbea YOU look around my
farm, You will see everything that
can rot is cleaned up and put into
the hog or manure pens.
BY thus saving, at cost Of but
little time, every farmer can make 4
hundred loads more manure year!,
than he usually does.

cned, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the iolliclcs are destroyed,
or the glands atrophicd and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
Of fouling the hair with a pasty scdi-
mont, it will keep il clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free

make some preparations dangerous and
