THE Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
yania has recently rendered several decisions
of general interest in the matter of road taxes.
The right of farmers to work out their road tax
has been generally, if not universally, CON
ceded supervisors in few townships ihsist-
ing that the tax must be paid in money. A
test case has been decided in favor OF the tax
PAYERS, and their right to work out the tax
distinctly and finally affirmed. In other cases
collectors of road taxes have claimed a COM
mission on the part worked out, as well as
that paid into the county treasury. Inc ou-
preme Court decides that all claims for such
Commissions should be rejected, the work
ing out of the tax imposing no labor on the
collector or treasurer, but on the supervisor,
who is fully paid for all his services.

Lake Horizon Reservoir.

A memorial to Congress asking for
means to be employed for the restoration
of Lake HORIZON as a water reservoir,
from which the water privileges along
Rock river may be amply and continual
ly supplied, is in circulation among our
citizens. The work of providing a sys-
tenn for the storage of water in Lake
Horizon would be of incalculable benefit
to the mill owners along Rock river from
Horizon to Rock Island. If successfully
carried through it would afford an equal
stage of water for manufacturing pur-
poses during the entire year, and there
fore is worthy of the earnest considera-
ton of all interested in water powers on
the stream Our citizens look upon the
measure to create reservoir at Lake
Horizon with favor and will do all in
their power to have the work carried
through to a successful termination.

DODGE COUNTY

JUNEAU, February Oath, 1880.
Circuit Court opened on Tuesday after
noon with some fifty cases in the docket.
The number of visitors in the village is
consequently quite large.
The announcement has been made that
A. K. Delaney, of Mayville, is in the
field for the congressional nomination.
Good material must certainly be scarce
among our democratic friends, but the
republicans can wish for no better oppo-
nent. Under the leadership of a good
presidential candidate it is not at all i'm
probable that there may be a change OF
front in the politics Of Dodge County.
Hon. Eli Hawks has been confined to
his house for week past by a severe at
tack of lung fever, but is again out.
Henry Kellerman who for six weeks
has been suffering from infammatory
rheumatism, is also ON his legs again, but
Richard Mertz for four weeks in his bed
with the same disease, is not yet able to
sit up.
Jacob Hargraves who was badly hurt
by circular saw some six weeks ago, is
now reported easier, although much fear
is yet expressed as to his ultimate recov-
cry.
Blaine is undoubtedly in the lead
among presidential preferences with the
republicans in. this locality, although
Grant has still many friends. Wash
burne on the other hand is the first choice
of not few, and the second choice of
nearly all others. Especially does he en-
joy great popularity among the Germans.
Sherman has no admirers here.
The hay press of Allard & Martin has
stopped operations for the season, after
having pressed and shipped some 500
tons Of hay, at an average purchasing
price here of $6. per ton.

land will be sent from here before long.
The country towns are yet to be heard
from and when their contributions are
sent forward the sum total from Water
town and vicinity will be something
handsome.

Salt az a Fertilizer.

AS matter of interest to our farming
community we publish the following re-
lative to the use of salt as fertilizer
from the proceedings of the Farmers
Club at Rio, Wisconsin:
At the weekly meeting of this club on
Saturday, January 31st, the subject OF
"salt az a fertilizer being under con-
sideration, much interest was taken in
the statements of those present who had
had experience in it's use. Mr.. Seth AL
len opened the discussion by giving his
experience in the use of salt upon his
land, and stated that he had first used it
on his farm eight years ago, and that it
added full fifty per cent. to his yield of
wheat that year. That for year or two
thereafter he did not use salt, on account
of the cost, but that he became thorough
ly satisfied that free use of salt was in
dispensible to the success of his farming
operations. That he had used it every
year since, resulting in increased crops
of grain OF improved quality, his wheat
from sailed land never going below No. 2
while that from unsalted land was infer
ior in both quantity and quality. At
first he used at the rate of one barrel of
salt to three acres, but now uses one bar
rel to two acres. After members in Civ
ing their experience and observations,
fully corroborating all that Mr.. Allen
had said in behalf of the use of "salt as a
fertilizer and after full consideration
of the subject, the conclusions arrived at
were as follows:
That salt has the property of fastening
the maturity of all grain crops that wheat
on sailed land will ripen six to ten DAYS
earlier than on unsalted lands, all other
conditions being equal.
That it increases the yield from Is to 80
per cent. That it stiffens the straw and
prevents rust and smut. That it checks if
it does not entirely prevent the ravages
OF the chintz bug, and that there is no dan
ger of mans pocket permitting him to
put too much salt upon his land, as two
barrels per acre would injure no grain
crop.
In answer to questions as to the best
time and manner of sowing salt, as also
the proper quantity to use, the following
answers were given:
The best time to SOW salt is in spring,
and ought to be the first thing done on
either fall or spring blowing, as the after
stirring of the land assists in its equal dis
tribution through the SOIL The best and
earliest method of sowing salt is from out
of the hind end of q wagon, the sower u.s.
ing both hands, while the team is being
driven at slow walk. In this way so
to 40 acres can be sown in one day. The
quantity to be used may be from $50 to
300 lbs. per acre, but the larger quantity
is the best.

Put it to Proof.

At time when the community is
flooded with so many unworthy devices
and connections, it is refreshing to find
one that is beneficial and pure. So con-
scious are the proprietors Of Dr. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, of the
worth of their remedy, that they offer all
who desire trial bottle free of charge.
This certainly would be disastrous to them
did not the remedy posses the remarkable
curative qualities claimed. DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption Will
positively cure Asthma, Bronchitis, Stub
born Coughs, Colds, Phthisic, Quinsy,
Hoarseness, Group or any affection of
the throat and lungs. As you value
your existence give this wonderful rene
dy trial by calling on K. Schubert &
Son, Druggists and obtaining a trial bot
tie free of COST or a regular sized bottle
for $1.OO.
