EUREKA GRUB FULLER
THE
WEEKLY WISCONSIN
FOR 1876.
BETTER THAN EVER.

The camiug year, it is anticipated, will be
one Of the most important aud interesting in
the civil history of the country 1t will be the
year of Presidential election, in which the
question of finance will enter into the party
campaigns and political discussions AZ never
before. 1t will be the centennial year of the
nations declaration of independence and, be-
sides being marked by the celebrations incident
to such notable event, it is to witness an ex>
position of the products of agriculture, manu-
features and art far greater and more compre-
hensive than has ever occurred upon the con-
tinent These things will make newspaper
more than ever an indispensable thing in every
family
The propretors of the Weekly Wisconsin
design that it shall be, even more completely
than heretofore, if possible, an eptome of i'm
portant current events all over the world, and
especially in our own country Everything Of
general interest will find its appropriate mem
ton. Political affairs, commercial interests
especially those pertaining to our own State
and nation and social and moral questions will
be regularly reported, and fully and indepen-
IDENTIFY discussed, as their Importance may
seem to demand The currency question will
receive the thorough discussion which its great
importance demands, and the Wisconsin will
always be found on the side Of honest money
In addition to a complete digest Of the cur~
rent news, the Wisconsin will contain serial
and short stories of character to interest all
and offend none The young folks will always
find something to interest them, the farmer,
the gardner and housekeeper will not be for
cotton by the editor in filling up his columns.
Art, science fashion and general literature
will have % - &c, and, in short, nothing
that goes to make up complete and whole-
some news and literary paper will be omitted.

American Fish Culturists

Seth Green, Superintendent Of the
State Matching Establishment at
Rochester, New York, at the recent
meeting of the American Fish Cul.
turists Association, in an interesting
paper announced that he has now
100000 of white fish spawn nearly
to the Matching point, which will be
placed in Lake Erie this season, which
will completely restock that lake in
four years. At the hatching estab
lishment in Rochester they have
5000 salmon trout, with which it is
proposed to stock the small lakes in
that State. He also expressed the
opinion that all the depleted brook
trout streams in New York could be
restored easily Mr.. Roosevelt, one
of the State Fish Commissioner, in
the discussion stated that in addition
to stocking the rivers and lakes with
shad, whitefsh and salmon trout, sue
cesstul efforts have been made to
propagate surgeons by artificial
Matching.

Stock on the Farm

AT a recent meeting Of the Illinois
Wool Growers Ass )ciation, Hon. W.
G. Flagg, well known as one of the
leading agriculturists Of the State,
speaks as follows
II think it is dem onstrabe as
general psopositon true to neatly all
kind OF farming, that nearly every
kind of domestic animal, up to
certain limit, can be kept more profit
ably than it can be dispensed with,
by all farmers. 1t can be kept, so
to speak, without any expense be
yond personal care because it feeds
upon products that woulI otherwise
be wasted or sold for a low price.
Take cattle, and we know that
throughout Central Illinois a consid-
cradle body Of farmers have been
selling off their cornstoCks after the
corn is gathered at such low price
as to make the keeping of stock cat
tie through the Winter cost less than
their Summer pasturage. We know
that throughout the State large
amounts of straw are annually
burned, that might be feed for cattle
and horses. During the Winter OF
1874 5, as | was informed, IN one por-
ton of Missouri, where the wheat
crop had been except onally good,
the horses and other stock were sold
at very low prices, because their
owners had no feed for them. The
farmers of that region had not
sta cked their straw Your own eX-
perience and observation will show
you, that in all parts of our State
great quantities of farm products
that should go to feed the grow ani
mails on the farm, are burnt, wasted,
or sold at low rates. This is still
more true with sheep. The sheep,
as we all know, is a more general
feeder than any domestic animal,
except the goat, and eats nearly
every vegetable product with
good relish, including, | am sorry to
say, in the case Of certain old and
perhaps wiser sheep, apple bark, an
ndturet, from the tree, taken perhaps,
as a tonic. Weeds are generally
eaten as readily as the grasses OF
the weeds more common with me,
they seem to absolutely refuse the
horse nettle and the poke weed, and
do not quite like the jamestown
weed and Indian malow, although
they brows both good deal
This taste extends To dried weeds
found in hay or straw, and makes
them practically omnivorous Of vege-
table matter. This general taste.
makes the sheep very useful animal
in utilizing otherwise waste products
of the farm. He browses the hazel
brush, ana kills out the wild grasses
for the omigrant be gets abundant
food from the scattered grain and
springing weeds Of the grain stubble;
be cleans out the late springing weeds
and strips off the lower blades among
the ripening corn. He is a good
scavenger of weeds and fallen apples
in the orchard, and in doing all this
he is making mutton and wool out
of weeds and waste The cost of
keeping, up to the point where all
this waste matter consumed consists
only in the incidental expenses, and
the returns are manure, mutton wool
and increase"

The Alexandria correspondent of the
London News writes as tOllOWsi Tue
death of Toussoum Pasha at the early
age of twenty-one isi a severe affll ctioh
tUtbe KhediVial family, for whom great
sympathy is felt by all classes. This
young Prince, only son of the late Said
Rasha, was married in 1873 to the Prin-
cess Fetma, daughter OF tue hhediVe,
and it was an exceptional instance OF
marriage tor affection. Hewasa a Mu5cir
(Marshai) and Minister OF the Marine,
and member OF the Privy Council, but
having been great sufferer tor manV
months, has been unable to take an
active part in the details of his depart
ment Tor some time. rHe funeI al OF the
dec Aased Prince took place ON Saturday,
the 8tn inst.
From daylight crowds OF natives made
their way to the Mosque Of Neb. .-damel,
near the family palace by the Mahmou.
die Canal. AT IL A. NJ. a guard Of cav
airy escorted large number OF buff tloes
to the place OF burial, and these, accord
ing to The Mussulman custom, were sac
rltced, and the flesh given to the poor.
Next came thirty camels laden with
bread, dates anu small money, all OF
which was distributed to the crowd. A
few minutes later came procession OF
the municipal guard, followed by u
squadron OF laucers with their lanees in
the belts, and two regiments of infantry
with their arms reversed.
The rear of the procession was brought
up by boys from The naval and military
establishments. His Highness Tustik
Pasha, eldest son of the khedive, was
present as chief mourner, accompanied
by Cheritf Pasha, Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, the Governor of Alexandria,
and numerous officials, by the consular
body, and by an immense number Of
bankers, merchants, and Inhabitants OF
Alexandria and Cairo. A detachment
of marines mounted guard, and their
band, having no duties to perform, car
ried silver trays filed vita perfume.
Servants and officers of the Princes
household bore tue decorations of the
Prince on cushions of velvet and gold.
The coffin, OF the simplest possible
kind, but covered with a priceless white
and gold cashmere, Was carried by SOL
dieFs and MARINES, and deposited in the
tomb where the Princes lather, Said
Pasha, was buried. About eighty thou
sand people were present in the neiga-
bOrhood Of the grave. The city of Al.
exandria was quite deserted, all the ma
tive and many European establishments
being closed. Never has their been seen
here such a spontaneous aud sincere
manifestation OF respect and sympathy.

Vanderbilt as a "Rsformer."

A Tribune correspondent thus chara C.
terizes Vanderbjl1s advent to the Presi-
dency Of the New York Central: Mr.
Vanderbilt kept acquiring New York
Central stock. Finally there was an
open letter addressed to him by the
brokers and holders Of that stock, asking
him if he would not be kind enough to
lake the Presidency. | presume he had
concluded TO do that already, and
wanted tnat letter to afford him a pre-
text for taking control. There was at
that time $2S,00J 600 OF the stock.
He did not own half or even a controll-
ing interest, but he represented by
proxy many New York holders, and
ton with majority OF his stock in his
favor. Tne night before it was under
stood that he waste be elected, the Su-
perintendent of the road was in his par
lor, and VIM. Ia. Vanderbilt and others
were presented to him! The latter was
reading to the Oommodere's son list of
the employees and their duties, and
among others he re ad off: ''Erastus Cor
ming, jf., son Of the then President:
signs passes on the road; salary, $1,000
a year.
The old Commodore looked up and
said, "What does thtt fellow do?" And
Lne name anu uuGleS we're again read TO
hm. He then went ON talking to those
while the rest Of the names
were being read. II was always the
custom to have a big dinner, and on this
occasion, when they met, there was q
plate with some apples on the table and
there might have been some bread-that
was about the style.
The election took place and the old
taking seat, put the stock
down and said, II guess this will settle
this thing" and he was duly declared
elected. II was the custom tor the Pres
ldent to sit at the head of the table at
these dinners, and he was installed in
that place. Horace F. Clark arose to
make motion, but the Commodore in
terrupted him and said: "Wait minute,
Horace" .....
Turning to his son, he said! "Bill,

swell, just tell him we don't
want him any more, we don't,n and the
first thing tnat was done alter he weat
in was The looping off OF young Corning's
head. "Now, Horace, you osngo on,"
said the old man. He mad worried about
that all night, for it, seemed to him like
giving away the property. -
