IT Is estimated that the crops in this
county will yield on an average from
five to ten bushels more to the acre than
they have the past fifteen years. This
together with the comparatively high
prices paid for grain, should have the
effect to bring the products of the farm
to market and relieve the strain upon
money by putting it in circulation. The
farmers of Manitowoc County are GER
tainly to be congratulated upon their
prospects.

THERE is a good story told on party
of fishermen who went out from Sparta.
One was La Crosse Baptist deacon.
They canped out and cooked their trout
in a rainstorm. In seasoning the trout,
while frying, tin pepperbox was used.
The pepper that came out seemed to be
in humps, but they said it was owing to
the rain, it had become damp. The
party ate the trout and all united IL
pronouncing them the best they had
ever tasted. When they got ready to go
fishing again they found that the pepper
box from which they had seasoned the
trout was bait-box filled with angle
worms and dirt. They all felt as though
they wanted to give their angleworms
and trout back again.
