strict enfoscement will result in
their speedy repeal.
Homestead exemptions are in de
rogation Of common right, and we
fully sanction the doctrine that
they should always be strictly con
strmed-grantiDg, when Q proper
Case presents, that relief which the
law maker intended they should af
ford, but guarding them jealousy
in every instance, lest too much of
such relief become an evil, and
they be made the incentives to dis
honesty and the cl0aks Of fraud.
The provision Of our Constitution
requiring the registry of property
set apart and claimed as = home
stead is to our minds eminently a
wise one 1t virtually takes the pro
perry so claimed, set apart and re
gistered, out of commerce, aud puts
beyond all possibility the unjust
spectacle OF certain property being
pointed to with one hand AS an in
ducement to credit, while the other
draws over it the protecting mantle
of an unrecorded homestead.
The learned Judge who presides
over the tribunal from whence this
appeal comes seems to assign as a
reason for not enforcing the provi
sion OF our Constitution relative 10
the registry of h~omesteads, that the
same Is a harsh law. that the con
vention which framed our organic
law was entrapped into it's pas
sage. and that it is in opposition to
the public sentiment Of our people.
This we cannot sanction. Our pro
vince is IT, cOnstrue the law as we
ifud it, believing it to have been en-
acted in wisdom and in the interest
of the whole people. The letter Of
the law says article Il of our Civil
Code is not to be disregarled when
clear and free from all ambiguity.
While We are not fully satisfied rs
to what public sentiment in Louisi-
ana really is relative to homestead
exemptions, we cannot believe that
. healthy public sentiment could
possibly demand that the courts Of
the country enforce the law other
wise than as they find it written in
the statute books.
Upon the face OF the record the
Judgment of the lower court is er.o
Plaintiff having contracted the
iebt sued upon IN suit No. 1924
prior to the registry Of his home
stead and subsequent to the Consti
,utiOn of 1879 and Act No. ia of
1880, cannot plead his homestead

surniss, "a A., p. 1913.

Mr.. EDIToR = DEAR SIR; As there are
many friends living in your community who
read your paper, and who would be glad to
hear from the country which have conclud-
ed TO make my home during this winter, /
beg space for a few facts which | would like
to lay nefJre the public at KeDosha concern
ing Calhoun County, Iowa
This, like most of the Northwestern coun-
ties of Iowa, is most suitably located for
stock raising as well as agriculture. Under
the magnificent system of drainage to which
these counties are subjected, it is NOT strange
that it sustains long droughts as well as wet
seasons. Never has there been known sea-
son in which these counties have been I'M
productive-even when their sister counties
in the western part of the etate, which are
ranked among the best in the United States,
have fallen victims TO the severe droughts,
these counties alone have come forward with
abundance.
We are here blessed with very deep soil,
varying from 80 to 500 feet, and our drain
age is absolutely perfect. Innumerabie
streams cross our broad prairies, giving the
land that undulatlug appearance which first
class farming regions are justly noted for.
Here is found in great abundance the famous
siblue joint grass. that grows from four to six
feet in height, which horses and cattle greed
lily MUNICH, and which is claimed by the
farmers of this section to be equal TO corn
for fattening purposes. The truth of this is
clearly exemplifed in the fact that cattle in
this community are looking round and sleek
the year round, with nothing but the grass
IN summer and the hay in winter.
One question which always comes up be-
fore my mind when in Wisconsin is at last
answered: Why, if these western lands
are superior to ours, are they not more thick
ly settled p The question easily answers
itself to an observer There is so mach of iti
Thousands of Immigrants have already set
tied in our state during the last year. and
their presence has hardly attracted attention.
Another striking feature of this community
is that the settlers of Calhoun County are
mostly americans which is consistent proof
that prosperity awaits the settlers. In all
the miles of my travels-and they are not a
few have never seen country which
seemed to exhibit facilities to the husband
man as does Northwestern Iowa.
Very respectfully, THos E. BOYLE.

But few people living in the country have
even the faintest idea of the extent Of outlay

but moi sgnarely as practice. Now they
must think that the people who pay
these great papers such enormous sums are
clever, misguided set Of fools to thus make
these newspaper establishments so rich, and
all for nothing. But would it not be fairer
to suppose that the advertisers know what
they are about-that the foolish ones are

It's circulation every newspaper, every
country weekly, pays the advertiser who
paironizes its columns just as good returns
as the great city daily. Human nature is no
different in the country than in the city !;
the only difference is that in the city the
people thoroughly appreciate and believe in
the newspaper as a profitable aid to the
transaction and promotion of business.

VANDALISM.

Some yagabond, with singular perception
of PROPHECY during the night of Sunday last,
took off the tops Of two ornamental ever
greens in front of the premises of s. Y.
Brande, on the Racine road, completely
spelling them for the purpose for which they
were planted Somebody wanted Christmas
trees for pleasure or gain, and this is not the
first offense
1t may be well for those tempted to commit
such acts to know that Section 4442 of the
Revised Statutes of Wisconsin provides a
penalty for the commission of such trespass
of Imprisonment for not more than six
months in the county jail, or by fine of one
hundred dollars.
Mr.. Brande will pay five dollars for infor
nation that will detect the culprit in the
present case.

We said two weeks ago some thousands of
dollars would be wasted In this county this
fall yet, by not churning in the right
way, and at proper time. We now say
there will be other thousands wasted by not
setting the milk at the right time after it is
drawn from the cows. Folks who have made
butter their life-times are plenty who don't
know that cream rises more rapidly and in
its greatest perfection when set as hot as
when MIXED, and cooled down to forty wi h.
In two or three hours. The more degrees it
can fall, through SO to 49, In that time the
better. Hence those who let their milk
stand around an honr or so in the cold, be-
fore being set, are making four cent hogs
out of their rich skim milk, instead of high
er-priced butter. A. Smith in Cedar5urg
