a very truthful man, and would not
hesitate to admit this himself
A thousand agricultural colleges in
the state of Wisconsin can do no more
to teach and advance the science oil
agriculture than is being done by the
agricultural college of the State Uni
versity. The press is disseminating all
the science of agriculture as fast as
gained.
Practical farmers are constantly civ
ing us through the press their most
valuable experience. 1.-THE legislature,
instead of throwing away the peoples
money by appropriating $3.50, 200 for an
agricultural college, would pass law
that every farmer should subscribe
yearly for four good agricultural papers,
and be bled in the back of the neck
with rusty nail if they failed to read
them, it wonld be doing a good work.
If there is lack of good schools in the
state, let the legislature take immediate
steps to supply them. But for human
lty's sake don't compel class education.

CANADA THISTLES

The following is the opinion of the
Prairie Farmer, Chicago, on Canada
thistles and Canada thistle laws The
first and most important point is, to
never let Canada thistle plant mature
its seed. If but a single plant give to
the winds its winged seeds, one never
knows at what points, and in how many
places, on his own land, and on that OF
his neighbors, plants may spring up.
This often occurs i'll out-of-the-way
locations and before one is aware of it,
or, possibly through neglect Or delay, a
new and wider distribution again takes
place. There are severe laws and penal
ties in several States, but there is an I'M
willingness among neighbors to enforce
the law. 1t ought to be made the duty
of SOME officer to whom complaint could
be made, confdentially, if need be, for
the sake of peace. The officer would
only be doing his official duty, and
could not be found fault with. We eff
fectually destroyed a plat of Canada
thistles that had got a Judgment on half
an acre Or so, by seed from an adjoining
farm, by sailing the sheep on it during
two seasons, and cutting out with hoe
any plants that escaped the gnawing and
tramping of animals.

A BAKING POWDER TRICK

All kinds ofschemes and tricks are re
sorted to by unprincipled persons to OBJ
tain unfair advantages over their neigh
bors. The latest and most dishonest Of
! these that has come to our notice is one
| by which certain manufacturers of bak.
ing powder have sought to prejudice
consumers against the use of other
brands that have an established reputa-
| ton as the best and purest in the mar
ket, for the purpose of introducing their
own. Their method, We are informed,
is to heat a can Of baking powder of a
well-known brand over lamp or stove,
when, if there is a gas given off having
the odor of ammonia, the powder is con-
demned as being made of ammonia and
unfit for use The prejudices of the I'M
suspecting are thus excited against the
baking powder submitted to the social
ed test, and the grocer who has quaint
ty of it on hand suffers serious loss in
consequence.
If the intelligent consumer will stop a
moment to think, she will readily per-
ceive that this test, )" if successful, proves
nothing but the superiority of the bak-
ing powder tested. The aim of all bak-
ing powder makers is to produce an arti-
Gle that shall most readily, under use,
give off its leavening gas. The powder
that does this with moderate heat, at
the same time evolving the largest guam
tity, is scientifically the best.
There is probably not an article pre-
pared for food that cannot be manipu-
lated to prove that something is wrong
aboutit and when a person goes into
kitchen or before a housekeeper who is
not to be presumed to understand chem
ical relations, and performs an expert
ment of even the most simplest charac-
ter, it is not dificu.ss to impress one that
something awful is the matter. AS to
baking powders, we could suggest doz-
en- tests that would be as ridiculous in
giving fair idea of their relative merits
to an uninstructed mind as the one here
mentioned.
The true domestic value of q baking
powder consists in its purity, wholesome
ness, and leavening power. It is only
the chemist, with his chemical appli-
ances, who can determine these qualities,
scientifically and exactly. Aside from
this, the best test for a baking powder is
to try it in making bread, and see which
makes the most and the best. To this
practical test all the established brands
have been put, and housekeepers have
very generally made up their minds
which they prefer, and the tricksters will
find ultimately that brand that has
been a household favorite for years will.
not be displaced by reason of any tricks
which they may show.

How AN AGED COUPLE WERE FOOLED BY
AN ENTERPRIsrNG SoH-N-LAw.
A good story is told on one of oul
prominent citizens who has been read
ing Chicago daily papers for years. In
fact he read them so long that he has
settled down in the belief that there are
no other papers, worthy of the anne
published in the country.
His daughter and her husband recent
ly made the old folks q visit, and the
son-in-law developed an equal enthusi.
asm over rival daily. But as all his
attempts to convert the elder reader
proved unavailing, he adopted the fol
lowing novel method to convince his OBJ.

Every morning he would cut the head.
ing off from the Chicago paper, paste il
over his own favorite, and, when dry
hand the combination to the old gentle.
man. After several days during which
the deceit had not been detected, the
father announced
II tell you, young man, my Chicago
paper has been better this last week than
ever before!''
"Why, how is that we thought you
claimed, before this week. that it was
impossible to improve it?'
$50 did, but nevertheless they have
improved it."
In what way?"
"In various ways. They have cut
out a great mass of the gossip from In.
diana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Mich.
gan, which I never used to read anyhow.
Then there is more news from our own
state, while all national and foreign
matters and miscellaneous news of gen.
eral Importance are as fully treated as
ever they WERE"
That is good. Are there any more

Yes, there are, the news is better ar
ranged and classified. the headings are
more accurate, and in every way it il
easier to read. Besides, there are edi
torials ON Wisconsin matters, and more
attention is given to our legislature a

POLL TAX.

The collection Of poll tax in this
parish would yield an amount sufti-
Gent to keep open the publicSchools
for several months longer. The
law gives ample authorization to
Sheritfs to collect this tax, and we
believe two.thiFds of the total
amount could he collected in this
parish If the proper method is
adopted. Sec. "a of Act 96 of 1882
seems to have been especially in.
tended for that purpose. 1t read as
follows:
"Be It enacted, etc., That The tax
collector or sheriff, is authorized tC
sell any growing or gathered crops
or shares therein; and to proceed il

of any salary, compensation, or re

for costs shall be required in Sucl
cases."-ISt. Mary Review.
