Walt Whitman's Prose Works,
UNDER TITLE OF
SPECIMEN DAYS AND collect.

This will he the first time that Whit
mans prose works have been issued in
book form, and the above announcement
will be good news to his many admirers.
The work will be in three divisions, tho
first being an Autobiography, or Specimen
Days of his early life, which is full of bright
passages that are sure to interest.
The Second Part is devoted to the war
period, and fit companion to his Drum
Taps" which attract SO much attention
among the poems, Here the authors do
scriptive powers areput to a test which
only proves them to be of the highest or
der.
The Third Division gives the second
part of the title or "Collect,' it being II
collection of essays on political and social
subjects, number of which have APP
peared in the North american Rerieo and
other first class journals.
A large part, however (Which the auth
or considers his best productions) have
been put aside from time to time with the
intention of making just such a book as is
about to be offered. Mr.. Whitman, now
in advanced years, intends this rs a mem
orial volume and, from the pains taken in
its production, we can safely bespeak its
having, what it certainly deserves, large
sale.

We were shown letter on Monday
last, written from the heart of the fruit
packing region of Hartford county, stating
that the best prices at which tomatoes
have been contracted for by packers are
rs and 27t cents per bushel and that were
the contracts yet to be made, that they
would not give so much. We mention
this to correct the prevailing idea that
much better prices prevail elsewhere than
here. True, such reports arrive here oc-
casionally, but in instances known to us,
they have been promulgated with view
to embarrassing the business here and are
readily understood as such, by those who
can give the matter any thought. Mr..
Young has bought corn and tomatoes OF
Mr.. Samuel Weant at Bruceville, which
is nearer the Union Bridge packing house
than this point, which is some evidence
that our farmers are receiving as good pri'
ces as the thrifty farmers of Carroll, who
wo know, usually get as much rs any one

JUNEAU.

VIM. Mendenhall, whose mishap was
reported last week, was taken to his home
in Watertown last Friday Is is not be-
lieved that any injury to the spine result
ed from the accident.
A large number of Juneau people visit
ed Watertown on Monday to see the cir
Gus and report themselves we'll pleased
with the exhibition.
Herman Schultz, to whose criminal
carelessness the spread of small pox at
Juneau, Hustisford and Ashippun is at
tributed, has skipped the country The
wife IN whose name the property is, will
sue for a divorce on the ground of adul-
terry, land will continue the hotel business.
Many complaints are made here regard
ing the manner Of running the trains on
the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
passenger as wellas freight trains. The
day passenger running south is running
very slow, making long and useless stops
at stations, while the freight trains are
hardly ever on time. The road bed be-
tween Fond du Lac and Watertown is in
a very rough condition, and the train
hands on the freight trains are greatly
overworked, so that it would not be sur
prising if some severe mishap would occur
at any time. The road is losing much
business, as great deal Of passenger and
freight business is done via Mimi. juno
ton on the St. Paul road, only 21a miles
distant.
The harvesting of rye and winter wheat
in this locality will begin during the pres
ent week. Both grains will yield abund-
antly, and the prospect for heavy crops of
oats, barley and spring wheat is alike IA
vorable. w.

The City LOck-gtD.

A. O. Wright, Secretary Of the State
Board of Charities and Reform, when in
the city last Saturday called the atten-
ton of some of our citizens to the bad
condition of our lookup The secretary
claims the Watertown lock up to be Who'll
Iy unfit for the incarceration of persons
and advises its complete renovation or
else the erection Of new building in its
stead. Attention has been called to
this subject from time to time, and some
improvements have been made to the
premises. The great trouble, however,
about the building is that it is in base
ment and consequently difficult, if not
impossible, to keep properly ventilated.
Another drawback to it is the absence of
yard and therefore there is complete
budding together of everything, con-
dition OF things that should not exist in
a building ofthis character

The Crops.

The fields of winter wheat and rye in
this vicinity are ready for the sickle and
by the close of the present week por-
ton of these crops will be harvested The
winter wheat never yielded better and
the berry is plump and good Rye is
fully up to the average and Of splendid
quality. All other grains promise finely
and with an average fair season from this
on the farmer may expect an abundant
return from spring wheat, oats and bar
ley. Corn is the only thing to be dis
couraged about. Many pieces it must be
admitted are backward and puny look
ing but still they have a good healthy
color, aud may yet yield fairly Some
pieces of corn are excellent and will
doubtless turn out full average crop.
The wet weather has interfered consider
ably with haying and farmers are some
what backward in cutting in consequence.
The hay crop is heavy the only difficulty
being to have the weather to cure it prop
erlv.

Under the head of "a curious rumor"
the Chicago Inter Ocean of last Saturday
publishes the following:
A rather peculiar rumor was current
here yesterday, and is repeated here on
ly because it comes from reputable and
source It is simply to the
effect that few days ago the manage
ment of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Road rendered the position of Gen
eral Manager of that powerful line to III.
B. Lcdyard, the General Manager of the
Michigan Central Road. The report says
that Mr. Ledyard was offered a salary
much larger than that now received by
him, but he declined the offer because he
did net care to leave Detroit for Milwau-
kee.
S. s Merrills friends, and perhaps Mr..
Merrill himself, will be surprised to hear
of this report, especially as Mr.. Merrill's
departure from the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul Road is not even limited at.

to be from Lowell Mr.. Smith with the

HO1U to Set MiIE.

This is subject upon which creamer-
les and farmers cannot be too we'll in
formed, and it is best to know the char
acter and objects Of those giving advice.
G. G. Buell., of Rock Falls, Ill, a we'll
known and successful dairyman, gives
the following directions for setting cream
so as to obtain the best results. And this
accords with the experience Of dairvmen
everywhere:
The milk put warm in deep vessels
in cold water, with good ventilation.
This will produce the best butter. If
we adopt the Cooley system the whole
must be submerged and without venti-
lation. He favored setting with ven
tilation as especially adapted to the
plan of settling the cream. All farmers
must have some means of cooling.
Let his milk set twelve hours and you
get butter as good as the best, if the fix
lures are all kept sweet and clean. The
difficulty is that farmers have not the
necessary appliances. If after the milk
is thoroughly cooled, the vessels are cover
ed all right, there is no longer necessity
for ventilation, after the animal odor is
carried off during cooling. Thus he
thinks the cream can b. as perfectly
saved as in any other way, and the cream
is then easily transported, if it be wished
to sell it; and, no light matter, the farm
er has sweet milk for use or for feeding
to hogs and calves The temperature re
quired is from so to so degrees Fahren-
heit. Thus 113 cubic inches of cream
should give pound of butter.
