WHEAT.

While we are of the opinion that
the farmer should diversity his agri-
cultural products instead of devoting
his labors largely TO the growing Of
wheat, those who adhere to the Gus
tom of giving the cereal named pref
erence over stock and all other grain,
owe it To themselves to use none but
the best of seed. selected from those
varieties which command the highest
price in the market. 1t will cost the
farmers nothing to inquire into this
matter and we doubt not that he can
easily ascertain the names of the va
rieties that will sell for the most mon
ey. 1t costs no more to raise and
market good wheat than it does poor
while the difference in the market
value is largely in favor of the best.
The ''Scotch Fife" variety is very gen.
orally regarded as choice hard Spring
Wheat and we commend it to the care
full consideration of farmers. The
proprietors of the Junction Mills, of
this village, regard this matter as of
the utmost Importance to farmers,
and offer premiums to the amount of
$500 for the first, second and third
best deliveries at their mills of the va
riety above named. TO illustrate the
growing interest among millers and
grain dealers in an improvement of
the quality of wheat grown in the
northwest we VIII note the fact that
a Milwaukee and Chicago firm of COM
mission merchants have obtained a
large supply of Scotch Fife wheat of
the very best quality especially for
seeding purposes, and have perfected
arrangements whereby they can ship
the same in carload lots at one-half
the regular freight rates charged on
wheat shipped to Milwaukee. Farm
ers should exercise their brain as well
as their muscle in raising wheat, and
think over these suggestions.

u. S. History.

We will now briefly answer the first
half of the first question in u. S.
History" of last issue. May be there
are some who will say that the ques-
ton Give history of the maritime
awakening in the old world in the XIV
century, does not belong to u S. His
tory. To such | would say that the
events of to-day arc but the results of
agencies that were &C work in times,
perhaps, long passed away; hence if
we wish to profit by and enjoy the
study of history, we must continually
look back into the dim past" for the
first cause of the results that we are
learning about.
The XIV century witnessed remark
able awakening of human thought
and enterprise, the most remarkable
of which was the activity in maritime
undertakings, which led to the discov-
cry of lands hitherto unknown to CIV
ilized nations, and gave new life to
commerce. The principal agent in
the maritime awakening was the prac-
teal application of the compass to the
art of navigation at the beginning of
this century. 1t at once led TO the
undertaking of longer and more dar
ing voyages, and finally brought to
view a new world. In the early part
of the fifteenth century, during the
reign of Joan l, the Portuguese began
their remarkable career of maritime
discovery. Prince Henrique, or Hen
ry the fourth, son of King Joan, de-
voted himself to the advancement of
the nautical science. He established
an observatory near Cape st. Vincent,
where he gathered about him men of
all countries skilled in mathematics
and astronomy. and consulted them
concerning his favorte scheme, which
was to find passage to the East Indies
by sailing around the most southern
point of Africa.
In I416 his zeal was rewarded by
the discovery of the Madeira Islands,
and later still of the Azores, the Cape
de Verde Islands, and the coast of
Guinea. Before his death in 1893, the
Portuguese had pushed their discOy-
cries to within five degrees of the
equator.
lii l841, Joan Ii. came to the TIN one
or Portugal. He was "a wise and lib
eral friend of the maritime enterpris
es, and built up an active and lucrative
trade with the tribes of Guinea. Ex-
/ plorlng expeditions We're sent along the
African coast, discovering the African
Kingdoms of Benin and Congo, and es-
| tablished profitable commercial rela-
tions with the natives. In 1887, Bar
| tholomew Diaz doubled the southern
cape of Africa, and found that the
eastern coast of that continent stretch
ed away from the cape to the North
east. In consequence of the terrible
weather he experienced, he named it
the Cape of Storms" but the King
of Portugal was SO encouraged by the
discovery that he changed the name
to ''Cape of Good Hope In 1897.
Admiral Vasco Da CANA sailed from
Lisbon, doubled the Cape of Good
Hope. and reached Cdlicut, in Malabar,
in May, 1893.

IT costs the people of Wisconsin
$4 go per week to maintain each in
mate of the State Hospital for the In
sane, and $4.35 per week to maintain
those at the Northern Hospital. The
County of Milwaukee in 1879 built an
Insane Asylum, containing all modern
improvements, in which the insane OF
that county are supported at an ex
pense of $l93 each per week. This
simple fact illustrates the criminal ex-
ttavagance which chMacteriZes the
management of our State institutions.
aud it is 4 little singular that the rep
rrsentatives of the people do not go to
the bottom of the whole business.
Half the appropriations for the sup
port of insane are not much better
than robbery under the guise of chart
ty, and we had hoped that the legisla-
tme of 1881 would d stinguish itself
by introducing an improved system
for the management of our State in
situations.
