WOOL.

Mr.. S. A. Pelton, of Reedsburg, Wis,
thus writes to the Madison wis
Western Farmer
We notice that an almost universal
feeling among farmers is that sheep
husbandry does not pay a. present
prices of wool, and many are disposing
of their fiocks at ruinously low prices.
| We question if any other branch of
mixed husbandry yields better returns
for money and labor invested to-day UNI
less it be poultry raising. Bright, I'M
washed, coarse Wisconsin woods have
sold from 15c. to 26c. in Chicago this
season, while in many cases local BUYERS
have only offered from 10c. to 18c. for
the same class of wool.
1t is self-evident fact that the farm
er who grumbles most at the present
state of affairs, is he who keeps flock
Of poor sheep and lily cares for them :;
and because their wool is cotted, dingy,
bury and chaffy, is obliged to take 10 cts.
for his clip-then he simply declares
there is no money in sheep. Well.
there is none for him whereas, let an
other man take the same flock and care
for them, and the receipts will double
those of the former owner simply on
the ground that success in all lines of
business rests in the man and not the
business.
Many keep sheep solely for the wool
and quietly ignore the mutton trade
and there is where they miss it again.
For the mixed farmer, mutton should
be first and wool a secondary object as
a rule, the best brings the highest price
IN market, therefore to that end work.
improvement means success, and success
is attained only by steady improvement.

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.

The annual road working has been
In progress FOR some time past, and
doubtless our enterprising farmers are
DESTROYS to have highway improve
ments we'll done. Wisconsin, is behind
some of the western states in the
adoption Of improved SYSTEMS for the
construction of country roads. The
statutes regulating the working of
highways in this state are substantial :
ly the same as they were in territorial
times, and the same as in some of the
old states a century ago. Good roads
in country towns are a matter of great
convenience and economy; they en-
nance the value of every farm by or
near which they pass. The legislature
of Iowa, at its recent session, passed a
law doing away with the old system of
working out road taxes by the persons
assessed, and requiring the highway
tax to be paid in money. The town
commissioner will then let the con-
tracts for repairing or building roads.
By this method much better results
are gained. The State of Ohio adopted
a similar method to this a few years
ago which has proved very satisfac-
tory. Illinois has also lately had a
road law of the same kind. The peo-
pie of Wisconsin, after witnessing the
good results in other states, will pro-
badly ask the legislature at the next
session to take action in the matter.

DTSAFFECTIONS IN THE RE-
Publican PARTY.

Our Democratic nelghbors have
much to say about the disaffection in
the Republican party in this and other
North western states, because of the
nomination OF Blaine. This is simply
absurd. Every one knows that the
voice of the Northwestern states was
strongly for Blaine before the nominat-
ing Convention was held, and there is
no reason why public sentiment should
have undergone charge now that the
people have secured the candidate they
wanted. The evidences of disaffection
do not appear in authentic form.
There are about one hundred and fifty
Republican newspapers in Wisconsin /;
among the whole number we have not
heard of one Republican newspaper
which has heretofore been regarded
reliably Republican that does not sup
port Blaine and Logan. Every Repub-
lican newspaper in. Illinois, so far as
known, supports the nominations of
the Chicago Republican Convention.
The same holds true probably of other
Northwestern states. The repc rted
disaffec:ion in the great west, with
perhaps the exception OF few in
dividuals, has no foundation in fact.

FOURTH OF JULR.

Of all the holidays in the year none
are so generally observed in the United
States as the 4th of July. The meth
DDS of concentrating the day have
been much departed from since the
earlier times of our history. Thomas
Jefferson once recommended the
manner of celebrating the 4th of July,
which contemplated patriotic demon
stration, unmixed with other objects.
The day is now made the occasion for
all sorts of purposes, religious society
benefits. charitable helps, horse rae
ings, and almost every conceivable
method for realizing money profit or
amusement. There is but little of the
old-tlme fashion of observing the day
left. 1t would be fitting if more of
appropriateness were added to the day
and less that is as foreign to its true
intent as the mountains of the moon
Thousands now spend their 4th OF
July without receiving a single i'm
preston of the trials, privations and
sufferings of our revolutionary fathers
in achieving for us freedom and in
dependence. May the true meaning Of
the 4th of July never be forgotten by
| the American people.

IMPROVEMENTS IN CHEESE
MAKING.

The cheese makers of this county
have in prospect the benefit of some
scientific and practical lessons in the
art of cheese making. The Wisconsin
State Dairymen's Association have en-
gagged the services of T. d. Curtis, of
Syracuse, N. Y, an expert in cheese
making, to give practical lessons to
cheese makers at different points in
the dairy districts throughout the
state. Mr.. Curtis has been engaged in
this work in Canada, New York and
other eastern states.
1t is said the business of cheese MAX
ing in the western states, which is al
ready large, can be increased in profit
by adopting the method which will be
impaired by Mr.. Curtis. The market
value in England, to which country
cheese is now mostly shipped, it is said,
can be increased from one to four
cents per pound. If this be so, it is
worth the attention of cheese makers.
Mr.. R. F. Roberts, whose name is
coming wldely-known for the interest
he takes in wool growing and dairying,
has put in our hands letter of inquiry
from the Secretary of the Wisconsin
Dairymen's Association, d. w. Curtis
not the Syracuse Curtis, which ex
plains the situation:

SHEEP NOTES.

E. w. Wellington & Co., of Ellsworth,
Kansas, carry 5000 sheep on their ranch.
The Central Kansas Wool Growers
Association represents fully 100000
sheep. The improvement made in
sheep and wool during the last two years
in Kansas is remarkable.
Mr.. Philo Curtis (of BristoD flock of
sheep is said to have averaged nearly ten
pounds of wool per head this shearing
whether washed or unwashed is moi
stated.
Mr.. Giles Myrick, of Paris, and Mr..
George Andrus, of Bristol, shipped their
clips of wool last week to w. A. Allen
& Co., Chicago.
George Andrus lost "a sheep in the
cold storm of rain last month. He
says they We're old PETERS, and their
lives ought to have beensaved by killing
them a year ago. They leave II pet
lambs behind to remember them bv.

The acknowledged leader of the Re-
publican reyolters against the nominal
ton of Blaine is George William Cur
It's. Most every one has heard of
Curtis, for no man has taken more
pains than he to herald his own name
abroad. Some seven or eight years
ago he was the champion and defender
of Blaine from the charges brought
against him; nothing new has oc-
Cured wherewith to bring an accusa-
ton against him. Only four weeks
ago this same George William Cur It's
stood up in the great Chicago Republi.
can Convention. of which he was a
member, and an active participation in
its proceedings. In a speech in the
Convention he drew the picture of the
Democratic party as follows:
1--WE are confronted with the Dam
ocratlc party, very hungry, and, as you
may well believe, very thirsty; party
without single definite principle,
party without any distinct nationa
policy which it dares to present to the
country; a party which fell from
power as a conspiracy against human
rights, and now attempts to sneak
back to power as conspiracy for
plumber and spoils."
This same George William Curtis. a
few days ago, issued protest on be-
half of himself and his fellow Repub-
lican dissenters against the election of
Blaine and Logan, and proposing a
conference Immediately after the Chi
cago Democratic Convention to con-
slider the matter of supporting tn e
nominee of that body. The Democratic
nominee, whoever he may be, will not
alter the historic character of the
party, which Mr.. Curtis declares g h IS
not single definite principle" a

spiracy against human rights, and now
attempts to sneak back to power by a

| Where can anything be found in TIT
Iannals of political history more con.
temptible, especially in men of such
lofty pretensions as Curtis? This
man Curtis now talks Of joining Z
Iparty which only few days ago he
denounced as conspirators and plum

MUSIC By THE BAND.

II is reasonable to conclude the people
of this city, especially those who have
listened to the musical entertainment
given by the National Cornet Band in
the park on Saturday evenings, enjoy
ed the music. A good band of music
is pleasureable attraction for any city,
great or small. Music has refining
influence; itcalms the rnffied passions
and soothes the troubled mind. A
gifted writer has said. "a case has
never been known where mother
punished her child while hum
ming a favorite stanzas., Music and
disturbed tempers are notin harmony ;
an irritated mind is not in accord with
sweet strains of music. If there have
been no plans devised for encourag
ing the band to continue their enter
tainment during the summer months,
| it should be DONE There are great
many things literally patronlzed by
the public of far less consequence
than band oe music.

BLAINE AND LOGAN CLUB
MEETING.

A meeting under the auspices of The
Blaine Republican Club was held in
Simmons Hall on Tuesday evening
last. Notwithstanding the notice for
the meeting had been imperfectly cir
culated, there was fair audience.
Col. ]. H. Howe, President of the
Blaine and Logan Club, presided.
Judge A. VanWyck made an excellent
speech, which was received with evil
dent satisfaction. He was followed by
COLI. III. Howe in well-timed remarks.
After which the Club proceeded to the
transaction of business matters. The
report of the committee on securing a
hall for the holding of public meetings.
also report Of committee on room for
business meetings of the club, were re.
,eived, and the consideration thereof
postponed to future meeting.

COMPROMISE NECESSARY TO
SUCCESS.

Prior to the late Chicago Republican
National Convention there were sew
eral prominent candidates for the nom
nation of President. Each had his
ardent friends and supporters, but only
one of the number could be nominated.
1t is not surprising, therefore. that
there should have been disappoint-
ments when the final action of the
Convention was announced. How
unreasonable for any one to fly of in
a tangent because his favorite failed
of a nomination? Unless there can
be compromise between those who
have had their strong preferences,
then nominating Conventions are of
no use.
