A CORRESPONDENT Of the Milwau-
kee News has the following to say
in regard to Northern Wisconsin !:
"To those in search Of pleasure and
recreation away from the din and
excitement of the city, who wish to
find sport and health in the wild
and picturesque, grand and hides
crlbable scenery Of portions of this
country, will find all and more than
enough to satisfy his appetite. In
the streams and lakes are to be
found myriads of fish. On the up
lands are to be found deer, bear,
p artridge and quail. Towns and
villages have sprung up and arisen
in day amidst the mighty forests,
foretelling in certain language the
day when throughout Northern
Wisconsin there viii be a commu-
nifty composed of the most sturdy,
energetic and intelligent people Of
the West. Every state in the
Union has contributed to our ag-
gregate growth, and as our resour-
ces are made known, a largo and
industrious army will seek homes,
where so mgny elements conspire to
their happiness and prosperity. In
dolence and shiftlessness will starye
to death here, but to those who
bring with them moderate means,
sobrietY, industry and thrift. the
door is wide open and the future
will award them abundantly with a
competency. To all we would say,
until you have travelled the leneht
and bread h ofyour own State drank
Of it's own mineral springs, inhaled
the pure and invigorating atmoa.
phere, explored the wonderful and
interminabfe resources of the north.
unless you know something Of the
stupendous and marvellous work
which nature has wrought for the
poor and the rich, the high and the
low alike; before going elsewhere
take a trip through Northern Wis
consin."

AS soon as the fever leaves, if

must be given in very Dali
quantities, and of the very hght-
est kind-say a couple of tea
spoonsful of barley water, rice
or corn meal Cruel at intervals
of two hours, or whatever the
stomach may be able to bear
during the first day, counting
from the time the fever leaves.
The next day a little chicken
broth or beef tea may be given.
Afterwards tea and toast and a
little broiled chicken, or a cou-
pie of fresh oysters if it should
be in seasan for them.
On no occasion should the
patient be allowed to eat strong
or indigestible food, as more
deaths occur from this cause,
and leaving the bed too soon,
than almost any other.
The great trouble is in con-
vlncing the patient that he must
lay in bed some time after he
thinks he is well. Often per-
sons thought themselves per-
fectly well and only committed
the small imyrudence of walk

a short time died in a few hours.
Others feeling themselves en-

Evergresns.


Evergreens can be set out at
almost any season of the year,
with a reasonable prospect Of
-araess. if the following rules
CSC observed:
First. Let them be taken
ap with such carefullness that
Il their roots, even to the
mallest fibre. shall be preserv-
j whole.
Second. Let the roots be
overed Immediately, SO that
leither sun nor wind may act
.,pon them to cause any drying
or shrinkage.
Third. Let them be set out
ii workInan-like manner Of
their natural depth. with the soil
carefully and somewhat solidly
impackcd about their roots.
Fourth. Let them be prop
erly mulched, with any loose,
Light substance, to be consid-
cradle depth, and to distance
bcyonnd the extent Of the
branches.
If they are set outin hot, sun
shiny weather, it would be safe
to raise some kind of a screen
on the south side of the tree for
a shade.
If these rules are adopted
there will be no more reason to
fear failure than when peach
orapple trees ace set out.

Mr. and Mrs. George Bancroft in
honor of Mrs. Hayes, at New
port, the dresses of the ladies'
were elegant in the extreme,
but there was none which at
tracted so much deserved atten-
ton as that worn by Mrs. Heap,
wife of Capt. David Porter
Heap, of the United States En-
gineer Corps. 1t was made of
heavy white silk and ornament
ed with painting by hand;
around the dress were several
bands of a delicate hue on
which painted roses budding
and in full bloom, besides most
exquisite little birds. The col
ors blended most beautifully,
the whole making a charming,
and at the same time. very rare
picture. The painting itself
was the work of the lady's hus-
band. Captain Heap.-P,ou-

Green Rye For Winter Pasture.


TITS about the season of the
year that farmers should begin
to think of sowing rye to fur
nish their stock green, nutriti-
GUS pasturage for winter and
carly spring. When corn fields
are SO Situated that stock can
be turned into them in winter
and early spring. a crop of rye
pasturage is really worth sever
al dollars per acre. In the win
ter season stock, need green,
succulent food, and nothing is
equal to rye to furnish it.
Calves ard colts can be kept
thriving and growing and fat if
green rye pasture is afforded
them, and it is pretty difficult to
keep them in such condition on
dry food.
Now is the time to SOW rye in
corn fields, just as they are laid
by. 1t can be done later if the
corn is not thrown down by
storms. A man can ride on
horseback and scatter the seed.
If sown just before a heavy rain.
it needs no further attention; but
ifthc weather continues dry, it is
better to run the cultivator be-
twecnthe rows ofoorn to cover
the seed.
Where rye is sown on land
wholly devoted to it, September
or October will answer to sow
the seed. A crop of green rye
IS OF great value to the land,
preventing it from washing and
and adding to its fertility.
Turned under in spring. it great
ly ennches the soil and is real
ly equal TO crop ofmanure.
In our state but little attention
IS paid to winter pasturage,
hence the sowing ofrye is all the
more important For pigs.
green ryeis excellent. ltkeeps
themin fine health and condi-
ton, and they viii go to the rye
field as regularly as any other
stock and derive as much beceft
from it.
Throughout the southern
where but little hay is cut
planters will find green rye a
most valuble crop in winter for
their stock.

A Farm Animal.

The growing interest taken in
their live stock by American far
mers, is certainly Il most graft
flying indication of our agricul-
tural progress. We now all
want the breed of hogs which
will fatten the quickest upon
the cheapest food; the breed of
mich cattle which will give the
most and the best milk, and will
keep at it, to the very bounds of
reason; the breed of horses
which will work vigorously and
show on their ribs all the food
we put into their managers; and
the breed of fowls which will
lay plenty of eggs, and hatch
chickens which shall be a credit
to the table, when they appear
thereon. ] say nothing in this
connection about cats and dogs,
although most farmers raise
great many Of them, but | can
not see that the breeds have
been lately improved, or that the
need of their increased number
has been very plainly shown.
But with all his care for his
farm animals, ! think that the
average American farmer stands
in constant danger of becoming
a farm animal himself. A horse
works all day, cats a. stated
times, sleeps at night, and rests
on Sunday. How many of our
working farmers do more than
this? The difference between
their lives and that of their horses
seems to be that they might do
better, but the horse cannot
By dawn of day the farmer rises,
and very often he gets through
4 piece of work, or, at any rate,
attends to his stock, before
breakfast. From that meal until
noon, the fields, or the barns, or
the orchards, or some other
parts of the farm, occupy him
steadily. After dinncr-gener-
ally a heavy, hearty one-he is
off again to the scene of his
morning labor, or to another
scene of the same character
When it is too dark to work any
longer, he comes in and has his
supper. Then it is candles and
bed. | believe that this is a
good cpitome of the daily lives
of thrce-fourths of the working
farmers of this country. l say
nothing about farm hands, for
their times and seasons of labor
are not regulated by themselves.
But the farmer is not the indie
pendent man we take him to be
II he cannot regulate his life to
suit himself. We know he does
do this-at least he SO manages
matters as to suit his love of la
Dor and his love of prosperity.
Woodworking farmers generally
die in comfortable circumstances
provided their lives arc of the
average duration and unluckv
accidents do not befall them
But | cannot believe that they
live in comfort, or that an cxis-
tence of constant physical toll,
varied by but few symptoms of
the possession of mental powers
or needs, is at all necessary to |
a comfortable and satisfactory |

STRENGTH OF GREEK SOLDIERS.

The physical superiority of the ante Alexandria
Greeks to the hardest and most robust nations of
Modern times is perhaps best illustrated by the
military statistics OfXexOphon. According to the
author Of the "Anabasis," the complete accoutre.
ments of a Spartan soldier in what we would
call heavy marching order, weighed rs pounds,
exclusive of the camp, mining and bridge build
ing TOOLS and the raions Of bread and dried fruit
which were issued in weekly instalments, and in
creased the burden Of the infantry soldier to 30,
95 or even to full 100 pounds. This load was
often carried at the rate of four English miles an
hour for twelve hours per diem, day after day;
and only in the burning deserts OF Southern Syria
the commander of the Grecian auxiliaries thought
prudent to sherten the usual length of day'a
march by one fourth. The gymnastic feats sp-
piled by the systGrchaS, or recruiting officer Of
picked corps, would appear even more preposter.
GUS to the uniform exqulsites of modern crack
regiment Even tall and well shaped men Of the
soundest constitution could not pass the prelimin-
airy examination unless they were able ito jump
their own height vertically and thrice their own
length horizontally, and two-thirds of those dis.
tances in full armor, pitch a weight equal to one
third of their own to distance of thirty yards,
and throw jayelin with such dexterity that they
would not miss mark of the size of mans head
