Improve Your Soil.

How to improve light sandy lands and
render them productive and remuner-
alive with the least expense and labor,
and at the same time bring them into
this condition as soon as possible, has
long been leading problem. To rem
der such soils highly fertile is work
requiring time and patience, but it is
being done. Lands that were naturally
exceedingly barren and worthless in
their natural condition have, under
intelligent and judicious management
become rich and valuable. The anne
Iteration Of such soils, it hardly need
be said, consists in supplying them
with constituents necessary to plant
growth which they lack in greater or
less degree, and in constantly improv-
ing them. To supply such constituents
in the form of manures of various kinds
at the outset is impractical in almost
any case by reason Of the expense and
labor required; but this course is not
necessary. Nature is ever ready to
afford assistance and generously sec.
ond mans efforts in this behalf, if he
will adopt proper means to reach the
desired end. She has provided plants
that are specially adapted to such soils
The clovers are among such plants
The COW pea is specially adapted tc
such soils, and there are others we neeC
not stop to name, which seize upon the
slight nourishment afforded and by
their habits Of growth, shade the soil
extract valuable and necessary materi
al for their own subsistence both from
the earth and atmosphere, and work
as vigorously as possible to recuperat'
the productive capacity of the soil il
which theylive. Such crops in tim,
fill the soil with a mass of fibrous roots
cover the surface with foliage, if ther,
is possibility in doing so, thus shadin.
the ground and preventing the evapo
ration of such moisture from the earth
and extract valuable fertilizing matte
from the atmosphere which contribute
largely to supplying fertility. TIL
value of turning under such crops
well known and need not be enlarge,
upon. These, with the use of sue
suitable manures and fertilizers as ca
be readily supplied, supplemented wit
proper rotation of crops, and tn
keeping of live stock, will in tim
bring unprCductive, light soils into
good degree of fertility.-Texas Stat

If the great mortality among sheep
in Tennessee were caused by wolves the
Legislature would appropriate large
sum annually for the scalpS of the wild
animals. But as the sheep devourers
happen to be dogs the legislature does
not protect the sheep, but it does pro-
tect the Sleeps enemy. In Tennessee
the dog is sacred animal, and any
state legislator who should have the
boldness to advocate a statute against
the sheep killer would be quickly re-
tired to public life. Perhaps within a
half century hence the people may de-
generate into an era of wooLgrowing
civilization instead of dog culture

Dark Clothes for Hot Weather.

London Lancet: We have more
than once asked attention for the I'M
doubted effect of color on the radiating
power of clothing. Certainly light
colored clothing substances approach
ing to white do not part with their
heat so readily as dark. The bear of
the polar regions is for this reason pro-
vided with white fur, while her brother
of warmer climates has dark colored
integument. 1t therefore seems desi-
rable to wear light clothes in winter
and darker hues in summer. While
campaigning in tropical country un-
der the hottest of suns | became aware
that black coat was cooler than a
white one, both being of the same
weight, texture and thickness-in short,
ceteris paribus, save the color. The
fact led me to reflection, to correlation
of other facts and circumstances OBJ
served at the same time as on other
occasions. For one I could see that
my negro servant alongside me, envel
oped in coal-black skin, did not suffer
from the fervid rays of the sun half SC
much as l under my tripe-colored cpl
dermis. What could this be but 6
provision of nature--merciful nature
made for him whose home was to be il
the torrid zone?

PHAR1SEE AND sADDUCEE.

To church the two together went,
Both doubtless on devotion bent;
The parson preached with fluent ease
On Pharisees and Sadducees;
And as they homeward slowly walked
The lovers on the sermon talked;
And he-he deeply loved the maid
In soft and tender accents said,
Darling, do you not think that we
Are Pharisee and Sadducee9"
She flashed on him her bright black eyes,
In one swift look of sad surprise,
And then he fastened to aver
He was her constant worshiper.
"But, Mary, | insist" said he,
"That you are very fair, see;
/ know you don't care much for me,
And that makes me sad, you see,"

Eggs as Food.

The Boston Journal Of Chemistry
says: eggs, at average prices, are
among the cheapest and most nutrious
articles of diet. Like milk, an egg is
a complete food in itself, containing
everything necessary for the develop,
ment of perfect animal, as is mani
fest from the fact that a chick is formed
from it. 1t seems a mystery how
muscles, bones, feathers, and every
thing that a chicken requires for its
perfect development are made from the
yelk and white of an egg; but such is
the fact, and it shows how complete
an egg is. 1t is also easily digested, il
not damaged by cooking. Indeed,
there is no more concentrated and nour
ishing food than eggs. The albumeni
oil and saline matter are, as in milk,
in the right proportion for sustaining
animal life. Two or three boiled eggs
with the addition of slice or two o.
toast, will make a breakfast sufficient
for man, and good enough for king

Der0nged and Suffering.

A strange character named " illiam L.
PAIL appeared at the residence of John
LANCE in the town of WATERFOWL, last
Thursday morning, barefooted and sparse
ly clad. He appeared to be suffering
not only bodily on account Of both his
feet and ears being frozen but also in
mind. Warmth and care made him
somewhat comfortable and Deputy Sheriff
Bruegger being notified went down to
Lange's and took charge of the man. He
was taken to the Jefferson county poor
house and placed in charge OF Superin-
tendent Trucks. His parents who live at
Wilton, Monroe county, were notified.
1t appears that PAIL, who is about Is
years old, took up quarters at the Wis
consin House Wednesday, acting some
what strangely. After supper he sud-
denly started out of the house and went
up Main street with one of the night
watch in pursuit of him, which it is pre-
sumed frightened him and caused him to
continue his flight. Thesnext known of
his movements is when he reached
Lange's house. He claims to have had
$50 with him but the officer found no
money on his person. There is no doubt
that he is deranged.

JUNEAU,

BY the ADVICE of physicians Frank E.
Eastman, of this place, whose health for
some time past has been gradually fail
ing, will spend the winter in Florida or
some other southern climate, His many
friends hope that change of climate
may prove of permanent advantage to
him.
The County Board has appropriated
the sum of $4,000 for the purpose of
placing steam heating apparatus in the
Insane Asylum. The District Attorney
has also been instructed to commence
suit for damages against the Ruttan
Manufacturing Co., the furnaces plac-
ed by them in the Insane Asylum having
proved worthless.
Albert Mertz, master y. S. N, who
last spring was r-iered out on three
years cruise and LAS spent the summer in
the the North Atlantic, has obtained
sick leave and gone south, where his
wife has lately joined MIN. Physicians
have declared his lungs to be badly af-
fected and have ordered a change to a
warmer climate.
The trial of the Williams bastardy
case from Elba was concluded on We'd
nesday last by disagreement of the
jury. This is the second time the case
has been tried in this county, the first
trial having had the same result.
The session of the County Board has
brought out large number of candidates
for offices for biennial distribution next
year. As, however, the "bosses'' made
the selection more than a year ago, most
of the would>be candidates might as well
stay at home and save their time and
money.
Circnit Court will remain in session
for two weeks more.

Change Of Time.

The new standard time based for this
section of the country on the nineteenth
meridian, will be adopted by the railway
lines centering in Milwaukee on Sunday
next, November rs. In preparation Of
this movement the superintendent Of the
various roads have issued orders to their
employees to change the standard clocks
to correspond with the new standard
time, which is nine minutes slower than
Chicago time, which has hitherto been
the standard time governing the move
ments of trains in Wisconsin. It will
necessarily he but short time before all
clecks and watches will be set to conform
to the new railway time, for as the rail-
way clocks are run, so must those OF the
public be run. To have the new time a
few seconds off, but near enough for
average purposes, one simply has to turn
back his time piece nine minutes By
doing this at or after II o'clock noon,
next. Sunday, any person can have the
correct railway and standard time which
will then be in use throughout the entire
section of country which is governed by
the nineteenth meridian.

MAGGIE O'CoNNELL AGAIN.-The un-
fortunate Maggie O'Connell was discov-
cred last Friday night lying in an uncon-
scious condition on East Water street,
Milwaukee, and taken to the police sta
ton. Dr. Hasten was summoned who
declared the woman had taken laudanum.
After several hours work the effect of the
poison was counteracte6 and the would
be suicide was declared out of danger.
Yesterday afternoon she was sent to the
insane asylum.
