At the annual meeting of the
Wisconsin State Horticultural So
ciety, held at Madison, February
Al, 1879, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We have reason to be-
iieve that the people of this State
are the victims OF useless and un-
reasonable swindle from unprinclpled
and irresponsible tree agents,
Resolved, That nurscrymen who
send out agents should in all cases
expect to be strictly and fully re-
sponsible for all their representations,
and to fully meet all the contracts
made by such agents.
Resolced, Thai planters
should, as means Of self-protection,
demand Of all who may solicit their
orders for trees at1tquestion0ble proof
that they are the authorized agent
of some reliable nurseryman, and
that such ,rseryman will hold him
strictly responsible Tor all the repre-
sensations of such agent.
Res0lced, That tree planters may
reasonably look for all new thin gs
that are really valuable in this eli
mate, in the leading nurseries of the
country, rather than i'll the hands OF
irresponsible travelling canvassers,
and that it may be taken as orin'o
fdcie evidence Of fraud when search
ty or extraordinary qualities Of ex-
cellence are claimed for them, or
exhorbitant prices are asked.
ResoiUed, That the newspapers
throughout the West will protect
their readers from swlndlers and adj
vance the cause of Horticulture by
publishing these resolutions.

What might be termed corfound-
ed mean trick, or joke. was perpetrat-
ed in logging camp near Neilsville,
last week. After the breaking up of
camp. the boys thought to have lit
tie fun, so few pretended to get int
a row. One discharged an old gun,
and another fell to the ground, saying,
Il am dead The pretended dead
was taken up and carried into the cab
in, and a general fight followed-of
course all in fun--bu one young fell
low was 50 frightened, supposing real
murder to have been perpetrated, that
he ran fifteen miles, scarcely stopping
to breathe, and telling the fearful tale
a. he went. The result Was, that the
father of the supposed shot man, trav-
eled in the night over the most terri
bic roads a distance Of fifteen miles to
take home the body of his son, and the
sheriff of Clark county went post haste
to arrest the murderer. To be sure
all hands were glad no crime had been
committed, but wasn't it little mean
to try squeeze sport out of an affair
that carried the most terrible grief to
the homes of friends? Such sport
isn't profitable.

Picked Barnum of the Torch

who very politely ask We editor Haze
gen any passes or thousand mile tick
cts to SELL? only week or two ago
Barnum wasn't sharp enough to see
that Dir. Man was just the individual
who didn't want to buy, but did ,0ant
to see who of the editors 10 this Sec
ton were dealing in rail road passes,
tickets. ETC. Barnum bit-said he
had an old 1000 mile ticket of last
year, and pass for 70 over the G..
b. & NJ. r. r. He didn't care about
selling any others that he possessed.
Of course Mr.. Nathan the Gen'l.
Ticket Agt. for said road heard of it,
and Bro Barnum was "out in the
wet" Then wasn't Barnum mad
though? Waugh how he did snort.
The greenback fever never had a worse
holt on him. He went right off and
advertised the G.. B. & NJ Road la
Peek, with none of Peck's wit. The
road is running its regular trains with
an increase of travel. We suggest
that Barnum loan the company his
sanguine countenance for head light.

and 600 tubs were turned out, with an
increase the coming week
The men work with a will, feeling sure

crease it. What is wanted in Wood

character, and they are coming, too.
