You may put this in the paper and welcome, and

Butter-Making Begins at the Stable


The best butter-maker in the world will
fail to get the first quality of butter if the
COWS are MIXED in dirty stable. It is not
long ago that New Jersey farmer asked me
how he could best market his butter, which
he said was exceedingly good. He enlarged
upon his high-grade Attorneys and the
quality of his pastures and water. After
wards went out to see cow I wanted to
buy, and he sat down at milking time to let
me judge of her flow. l certainly never saw
dirtier pail of milk. Specks of dirt. dust,
dandruff, hairs, ETC., peppered the top, and
swashed about on the bottom as the pail was
emptied. He got only eighteen or twenty
cents for his butter, and think it was
worth no more. Does not this filth flavor
the milk, the cream and the butter? Most
assuredly it does. This is only obvious filth !;
the invisible and more potent volatile exha-
lations from the manure and the urlne-sat-
urated floors, and all the mal-odorous sur
roundings of most cow-stables, usually have
still greater influence. When milk is once
contaminated nothing can be done which
will entirely do away with the effect. Part
of the evil may be removed by thorough air.
ing Of the milk as it is cooled before setting
| Shallow setting no doubt favors the removal
of these odors, and Bration during churning
has a good effect. But here as in many
things, the fountain head is the spot at
which reform should be commenced.-Amer-
can Agriculturist.

verbenas from Seed.

The Verbena is perhaps the most snowy
and popular of all the ANIMALS. 1t is IA
vorite with everybody on account of easy
culture, beautiful colors of the flowers, and
the fragrance of some of them.
Verbenas are indispensable as bedding
plants in the geometrical shaped beds cut in
the lawns of the Weather classes, and are
equally SO in the modest posy-bed of a coun-
try farmhouse. 1t does not seem generally
known that verbenas raised from seed will
produce larger flowers, and more of them,
than on those plants grown by a florist from
cuttings; nevertheless it is so, and another
thing to recommend these seedlings to favor
is that the light-colored ones are nearly al
ways fragrant. If one desires to make bed
of verbenas in distinct colors, then recourse
must be had to the florist; for as he propa-
gates from named varieties, of which he
knows their colors and habits, he is able to
furnish us with scarlet, or white, or purple,
or striped, or many other shades. Seedlings
are not to be relied upon to produce certain
colors. They do not come true as a general
thing; but for flowers for bouquets Or to fill
a wire-work design should choose the seed
lings in preference to the others because of
their fragrance. The seed may be sown in
February, March and April, in boxes in the
house for early bloom, or in hot-beds; or it
may be sown in the open border in May. I
duVISe you, uoWeFcr, W StdrG UueIn IN Cne
house. Have boxes about three inches deep,
nearly filled with light soil. On this scatter
the seeds thinly, and then sift over them
about as much soil as its own thickness.
Press the soil down on them with smooth
board, and then sprinkle the seed-box with
water. Now place your box in the window.
If you can have half a dozen bricks ON the
stove, so that you can put couple of warm
ones under the seed-box frequently you will
be surprised how much more quickly the
seeds will terminate. This is what is called
''bottom heat" an essential probably the
most important of all in the florists bust
ness. Observe that, while there is danger
in keeping the soil too wet, the seed-box
must be kept constantly moist; and, as the
seed starts quite unevenly, disturb the sur
face as little as possible To get strong,
stocky plants, as soon as they have made
their third leaf transplant them into other
boxes, at a distance each way of, say, three
inches; and when warm weather comes, so
you can put them in the garden, give each
plant four feet of space. In all likelihood
your seedlings will be larger and healthier
plants than your florist will sell you for a
dollar dozen.-Rennie, in Ohio Farmer.

SOME subscribers who are in arrears
two years are indignant because we have
passed their accounts over to lawyer
for collection. We sufficiently advertis-
ed our intention to do so last February.
All we asked those subscribers to do in
order to avoid difficulty, was to pay up,
give notice that they intended to do so
in time, or state that they were unable
to pay, in which case we We're willing to
forgive the debt. Before placing the ac-
counts in the hands of lawyer we sent
out bills to every person two years in ar
rears. We then gave notice through the
paper IN which the following statement
was made: "We dislike to place any
bills in the hands of an officer for collec-
ton, but this is the last notice we shall
give. Ii you intend to pay or are unable
to do so, inform us either in person or
by letter, and we shall wait or remit the
debt. Recollect we have given you no.
tice and abundant opportunity of avoid
ing difficulty. 1t is your own fault if it
ensues." This notice was given Febru-
airy both, and two months were allowed
for persons to pay mp or make some ex-
cuse The accounts of those who did
neither were then given to lawyer. We
do not know how we could act more con-
siderately.

FACTS.

No doubt many of the readers of the
PILoT, more especially the farmers will
recollect, certain article signed by Mr..
Henry Fricke, resident of the township
of Manitowoc Rapids. Mr.. Fricke after
using "Monitor Seeder" manufactured
by Van Brunt, Davis & Co., of Horizon,
Wis, for four seasons, felt called upon
20 notify the public that he had traded
for Van Brunt & Barber, as he had
trouble with the Monitor. The only
trouble having come to our notice pre-
vious to his communication through the
press, might have been the paying for
1t. We therefore wish to inform the
farming community that Mr.. Fricke did
not trade as he stated he had done, as he
was waited upon by couple of gentle
men recently, one prominent farmer
Of his township, and found him using
the Monitor as in seasons past. One of
the gentlemen addressed him by asking,
swell Fricke is not the Monitor the
seeder after all3" The reply was, eyes"
'How does it cultivated" The answer
Was, "Can't be beat" "Wen how does
it sow?" GAS well as any machine in the
market, and in fact 1 don't want any bet
ter machine" 1t will certainly appear
Mr.. Fricke is downright liar or else be
has been wheedled into signing his name
to an article devised by the low cunning
of some would be shrewd dealer, who
hoped thereby to gain trade by so doing.
At all events in either case Mr.. Fricke
shows he has no sense of honor, and that
truth and veracity is lacking in his men
tai organisation. We have been impell-
ed to make these facts known, SO these
that may have taken stock in his COM
munication may fully understand the
matter and Judge accordingly.
Respectfully yours,

REDUCTION OF DEBT.

Mayor Schuette's message and partic-
ularly that portion of it referring to the
reduction of the debt of the city by re-
funding the rail road bonds into state
debt, has not received the attention it
merits. OF course the city board could
moi make any money for the city, but it
has reduced the debt which is saving a
considerable sum of money to the city.
John Sherman receives great credit for
reducing the interest expenses of the
government by funding bonds bearing
high rate of interest into bonds bearing
a low rate. and the city board should re-
ceivs credit for reducing the principal
without increasing the interest.
Last year the city owed in notes and
bonded Indebtedness $40. 10000. At
present the city owes In notes and in
bonded indebtedness, 100000, a gross
gain to the city of Sc, 5090 90. The gen.
eral city fund on haad at the time OF the
report of the city treasurer, is less than
at the time OF the report this year. This
is on account of portion of the city
fund being used in the purchase Of the
bonds, thus reducing the amount which
it would otherwise be necessary to bor-
row from the state. Allowing for the de-
crease in the amount of the fund on
hand, and the sale of the hand engines,
the net reduction of the debt of the city
is s., $4,000. That is the city debt less
the amount of cash in hand is 81, $50 less
than the city debt at the close of the fs.
cal year 1889, less the cash then on
hand

IT is almost criminal on the part OF
parents not to take every possible pre-
caution to guard against diphtheria. A
great deal can be done to prevent the
spread of this very fatal disease. Clean
illness of person and surroundings is pos
sible for every person and should receive
attention. There is often in cellars
large amount of decaying vegetable mat
ter which breads miasma. Cisterns be.
come foul from stagnant water and should
be cleaned out. Rooms should be well
ventilated. Attention to these matters
will not only check the spread of diph-
liberia but contribute largely to general
health.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. On Saturday
night Mr.. Carl Dobbert resident of the
Bird ward was awakened by the tramping
of some person in the room. A lamp
was burning in the room in which Mr..
Dobbert slept and the door which led
into the room in which the visitor was
plying his vocation was open. Through
this he saw the fellow making deligent
search for something valuable. Dobbert
asked him what he vas doing and the
burglar. drawing his hat down and shad-
ing his face with his hands ran for the
street. From the fact that he attempted
to conceal his face it is judged lie is q
resident of the city.

Col. WATRoUs is one of the most level
headed men of the state. In his depart
ment of the Sunday Telegraph he crit
icises the action of the people of Mantle
voc in reference to the arrest of Hetig,
as follows. ''Instead of sending the old
hero to Jail they ought to have crowned
him with wreath of springs choicest
flowers, made him knight OF the White
Cross and carried him around on their
shoulders and then voted him pension
and the freedom OF the city. That's
what Manitowoc ought to have done and
we are little ashamed of her because
she did not"
Now, is the Colonel preaching modera-
ton or is he not? A short while ago a
young man, one of a charivari party, was
on trial in this county, for having killed
the father of the bride whose marriage
festivities were interrupted by this dis
graceful custom. The greatest cause for
regret in the present instance, is that the
young man who is most seriously hurt is
of excellent habits and was, In manner,
forced to accompany the party.

A CONVENTION of the assessors of the
several towns of the county was called to
meet at the court house on Tuesday of
this week. The object was to devise
a plan by which there would be some
uniformity throughout the county. We
have been unable to learn what was done
at the meeting. But as there were only
eight assessors present the result of their
deliberations cannot be fruitful of any
great results. The assessors of the fol.
lowing towns and cities were present.
Two Rivers, city of Two Rivers, Eaton,
Newton, city of Manitowoc, Two Creeks
and Cooperstown.
1t seems to us that the ,daO is suffi-
cient guide to all assessors, and that if
property is listed at its full value the
uniformity of assessment cannot we'll be
improved upon.
