Considerable complaint is being made or
the alarming increase in the adulteration Of
butter by farmers. and st. Louis dealer now
comes forward and makes the following seri-
GUS charges against certain Wisconsin cheese
manufacturers, who market their cheese on
the Elgin Board of Trade. His statement is
as follows:
g. 1t will be but short time before the
reputation for the fine cheese Iow borne by
the State of Wisconsin will be ruined: for I
believe that not less than two-thirds Of the
Wisconsin manufacturers represented on this
Board of Trade are adulterating their cheese.
These men of course never did manufacture
the high grade of cheese for which the
Badger State has become noted but the
sending abroad of the adulterated stuff un-
der Wisconsin brand must work injury to
the producers of the genuine article. Ny
impression is that the manufacture and sale
of butterine and other compounds used for
butter would ipjure the legitimate dairy
business very little, if any, if the parties who
at one time were crying out to be protected
from the infringement did not themselves
become parties to the manufacture of the
compounds by using them to adulterate the
genuine. Except from this source, we have
little to fear from those compounds now.
They are in the market competing with cer>
tain grades Of butter, but in this respect have
done the business all the injury they ever
can; but when the very men with whom
rests the power to protect the people from
these compounds themselves make use of
them, we are placed in bad predioament."

SOMERS.

No January thaw this year. Only
once did the thermometer reach near,
but 7 did not see it above the freezing
point during the month, observing it
several times daily.
February bids fair to maintain its
reputation as the coolest month of the
year. Itcame in cold. Thursday morn
ing thermometers ranged from sixteen
to eighteen, and some said lower, de.
grees below zero. On Monday morn
ing the temperature was again the
same as Thursday; Tuesday some
milder, with another snow storm set
ting in during the afternoon and con-
tinuing during the night. On Friday
last a snow storm set in, lasting till
Saturday, giving us some ten inches or
more of snow, which drifted badly and
blocked the roads, so that some shovel
ing had to be done before teams could
pass, in many places. Quite a number
of road overseers deserve the thanks
of the public for their pluck and de-
termination by calling out the shovel
brigade to keep and maintain track
somewhere near the highway, so that
teams can travel, whilst few, I am
sorry to say, prefer, judge to let the
public go somewhere, if that be posi-
BILE, oftentimes to the damage of lots,
for want Of doing their duty. Credit
| is also due to many citizens who al
ways turn out, whether called on or
not, and shovel, and with their teams
make track somewhere, if it be
possible, in the highway.

RANDALL.

The roads are open, but the travelling
is worse than it was last week.
There is considerable sickness about
here, but it is mostly affections of the
throat and lungs. doubtless caused by
the sharp Wintry air.
G. G. Getting, of Richmond, ILL.,, one
of ethe Oldest settlers, and known
every where in the west part Of Keno
sha County, passed away last week.
We believe he has brother living in
Bristol in this county.
His numerous friends here were sad
dened by the news of the death of
Frank DickerSon. Frank was a native
Of Randall, and was a character of
which the people were very proud, be-
ing able, honest, and Industrious. We
are not acquainted with the particulars
of his sickness.

CARLYLE ON SELF EDUCA TION.

Carlyle, when asked for advice by one who
was struggling with the problem of self edu-
cation, said:
"Get yourself COED book of arithmetic
read, and again read, the rules and every
word Of explanation that is given, trying all
the while every difficult arithmeticai ques.
ton that comes up; and, in short, laboring
necessarily with your whole strength (Which
is the real secret Of success in all efforts In
whatever direction).
ain the rear Of arithmetic and essential
for school-master who will rise above the
lowest sphere Of his business, are mensura-
ton, geometry. algebra, and the whole field
Of mathematics q very noble subject withal
in which man Of real sense can make his
own way to any length without the help of q
teacher. Indeed, there are few or no sub
jects on which aman Of real sense-real in
dustry. honesty. and steadfast perseveranc e
cannot make his own way; and if you do
make it, it is better in many respects, and
far more productive for you than if teacher
had helped.
"For English grammar let me recommend
to you Cobbet's little book on this subject ;
it is one Of the clearest and best, and Goblet
is otherwise great example.
ST recommend geography, and all the as
tronomy you can acquire, and beyond and
in advance Of these subjects the foreign lam

Of first consequence for schoolmaster who
will at all rise in the profession, and indeed
for every man who aspires to cultivate him

with hardly any master Except perhaps a
chance hint about pronunciation). Ny
brother John had very little help or guild
ancs in acquiring Latin, and is nevertheless
perfectly expert in it.
"With regard to reading for general i'm
provement, need not much enter upon Civ
ing you directions.
"Read no FOOLS book if you can help it fly
from fool as you would from poison, in
your reading, and in all other pursuits of

very good experience, it is far less import
ant to man that he read many books than
that he read few well, and with his whole
mind Gwake to them. This is indisputably
certain. A very small lot of books will serve
to nourish mans mind if he handle them
we'll and have known innumerable peo-
pie whose minds have all gone to ruin by

ST. LUKE'S CHURCH CHOIR
COMPANY.


After emf oying the rich musical treat with
which we were RECALLED on Saturday evening
last, cannot but add my mite to the words
of praise which | am sure the "St. Luke's
Church Choir Company" so well deserve.
1t is very seldom, in place of this size,
that we are favored with concert pro-
gramme whose every number compares so
favorably with those which are rendered in
larger cities. where there must necessarily
be more of musical culture. and we are ths
more grateful when we enjoy the privilege
Of listening to such q one in our own little
town.
The chorus was large and unusually fue,
and none but a thoroughly drilled choir in
perfect sympathy with its leader could
achieve such worthy results. With the
" Hallelujah' chorus from the mount of
Olives still ringing in our ears, it is surely
little enough praise to say that Mrs. Brew
stsr is amply qualified to hold the position
which she now occupies.
The solo numbers were all good and well
rendered, the ladies having bright and
pleasant voices, which we hope it will be our
pleasure to hear again. Mr.. Louis Yout and
Master jamie Roy deserve especial men
ton. The last number of the programme.
quartette with contralto obligato, by Miss
Case, was charmingy sung; and the organ
ist-Miss White. we believe-and her &C
companist added not little to the enjoy
ment of the evening.
But we trust our sister city will not think
US egotistic if we make more than passing
mention of eur friend, Mr.. Dick Robinson.
1t has been my own good fortune to meet
and hear many distinguished tsnors. both on
and off the stage, and can recall but few
who possess voice at once so powerful. yet
sweet, pure and sympathetic as Mr.. Robin
sons.
Racine and "St. Luke's'' are certainly to
be congratulated on having such an excel
lent choir.
Respectfully, Mrs. A. FARR.
