over the whole southwestern part
of the state. 1t is said that the
smoke of steamers on lhe Mississip-

north the Baraboo bluffs bound the
vision, and TO the east the dome of
the capitol, twenty-five miles away,
is visible, with the heights beyond
looking blue in the distance. The
country near at hand to the south
and west was originally a prairie,
but is now divided into cultivated
farms, and is lifted in long sweep

trees and brushwood growing in the
hollows along which the water
courses run. 1t is one of the most
fertile as we'll as beautiful parts of
the Northwest. To the east and
north, the country is more broken,
and shows greater proportion of
woodland, but is a thickly settled

programmes next week for the diff
ferent farmers institutes to be held
in the state during the coming win
ter. They will begin on the oath of
November at Hudson, and next at
Chippewa Falls, thus enabling the
farmers who wish to 90 into the
pinery for the winter to attend the
meetings. The southern part of the
state will be visited later in the
winter, when corn gathering will not
be interferred with. The following
places have been decided upon as
places of Institutes: Hudson, Chip
pewa Falls, Mondovi, Neillsville,
Whitehall, Manitowoc, Sheboygan,
Fond du Lac, EIroy, Platteville,
Montello, Beaver Dam, Viroqua,
BoscobeI, Weyauwega, Wrights-
town, Amherst, Dodgeville, Fort At.
kinson, Evansville, Milton Junction,
Elkhorn, Union Grove, Dousman,
Menominee and Darlington. Three
or four other places are under con.
sideration and will likely be granted
an institute: Columbus, Brandon,
Chiffon and Sparta are the ones so
considered. These institutes will be
attended by Professors Henry and
Amsby, and large number of the
most intelligent, practical farmers of
the state, who will present many
important points of instruction con
corning the various branches of
farming. Each one of the men
selected are chosen on account of
his superior knowledge in some par
ticular branch, and will know what
he is talking about. The institute
will last from two to three days in
each place. The Chicago, Milwau-
kee a. st. Paul Ry. Co. has been
very liberal toward the movement
by promising to furnish transperta-
ton to the different convention
workers, thus making the expenses
Of the Institutes much lighter and
enabling the money to be used di-
rectly in the aid of the work. Much
interest has been manifested by the
farmers, and next winter will doubt
less prove very profitable to the
majority of them.
Mrs. Richard Carter, of Dodge
vile, has been in the city during
the past week the guest of Mr., Geo.

Attorney of Iowa county, was also

In Search Of the Picturesque.

In Search of the Picturesque.
This current month opened with
two of the blandest and mellowest
Of October days. The sun shone
brightly from a genial sky, and a
dreamy haze pervaded the atmos-
phere, softening and harmonizjng
all the varied tints Of the autumnal
landscape. No serious frost had
yet blighted vegetation, the August
and September rains had impaired a
vernal freshness to pastures and
meadows, and the woods were still
green, with here and there a maple
tree blazing out in crimson and
gold, or a hickory or elm haunting
the most brilliant yellows az if it
we're giving out again all the sun
shine it had drunk in during the
summer days. 1t was Just then that
small party left this city, like DR.
Syntax, in search of the picturesque.
Their objective point was Blue
Mound, which is situated about
twenty-five miles west of Madison,
and which is the nearest approach
to mountain that our state can
boast Of.
We have little in the way Of
scenery in Wisconsin that IS grand,
but much that is beautiful-wide,
CONTEMPLATING landscapes, with
scattered villages and farm houses,
| fields rich with culture, dotted with
trees and intersected by patches of
