THE Agricultural Experimental Station
at Madison has made an analysis of GER
tain kinds of land plaster and has fur
nished the papers of the state with the
result. Sandusky land plaster manu-
featured by Marsh & Co., selling for
$3.50 per ton, contains little over SO
per cent of pure plaster, and but very
little of it is soluble in acid. A ton of
it contains 1925 lbs of pure plaster; 100
lbs of pure plaster at the above rate cost
&c., and $1.0O buys 256 TBS of pure plss-
ter. The Bay Settlement land plaster
manufactured by M. NJ. Brous and SELL
ing for $500 per ton, contains no plaster
and is said to be almost wholly valuelss
as plaster though it may have in
gradients of some value.
The Buffalo land plaster manufactured
by Sherman Bros. sells for 81. 25 per Dbl.
1t contains little over rs per cent. of
pure plaster and almost 6 per cent. is
saluble in acid. A ton OF it contains
1,527 lbs of pure plaster, and 100 TBS of
pure plaster at the rate for which this
grade of plaster sells, cost SAFE. One
dollar will buy only 1873 Tbs of pure land
plaster.
1t will be we'll for farmers to take
note of this analysis as it is quite evident
the first named plaster is most valuable
as it contains the greatest proportion of
pure plaster.

TIE farmers club of Kossuth is doing
good work and is gradually taking in all
the younger men of the town. The club
has already purchased ten dollars worth
of works on agriculture and subscribed
for two papers devoted to the same in
terest. A committee of three have been
appointed to visit Hiram Smiths farm in
Sheboygan for the purpose of learning
how to make silo. The club had writ :
ten to an agricultural paper for infor-
nation on this subject and was advised
to call on Mr.. Smith.
Meetings are held once in two weeks.
The last meeting was held on Tuesday of
this week. The following is the pro-
gramme carried out:
Draining, Observation-Disclosures. .Adolph Chloupek.
Difference in Flowing for different soils,
John Rezek
Manner of Building Stable, =. John Chloupek.
How Calves should be Raised, $500 Enron Furst
Some of the older farmers of the town
who made their wealth by the hardest
kind of labor, do not look with favor on
the workings of the club, but this does
not embarrass the members. They Say
they find abundant food for thought at
these meetings in farming matters and
feel certain their work will be more in
telligent because of reflection.

SATURDAY last was remarkable Qay
in the history of our city, remarkable not
as being the anniversary of any great
event of the past, but remarkable simply
on account of the extraordinarily large
supply of new goods which arrived here
on that day. They went direct to o.
Torrison's store and are now adjoining
the interior Of that spacious building
To go into details and speak of all the
varieties of these new goods would be
quite task, we shall therefore make
mention Of only few. Firstly allow US
to call your attention to the bargains we
are offering. We have on hand 1000
yards of lace worth from 25c. to 4Oc. per
yard which we are selling for only 10c. a
yard. New styles of embroideries we
are selling at 3, and 1Uc. per yard,
which are worth al least twice the money
Our new and attractive line Of dress
goods equals anything ever brought to
this market They are beautiful i'll fin
ish, fine in quality and include all the
STYLES of the season. We invite you to
call and examine and be convinced of the
truth of our assertions. We have also
received an assortment of rugs surpass-
ing anything that was ever brought to
this city. Step into our store and see
our magnificent display. Our new rugs
are of the richest designs and embrace
everything that is novel in that line.--
Couple with this the extremely low price
at which we are selling them and we do
not hesitate to say that you never saw
anything in this part of the country that
so fully elected your admiration. The
house cleaning season will soon be at
hand. IF, while engaged in that work,
you find carpet that looks shabby and
worn, remember that now is the time to
get new one and that a most elegant
stock is always kept at O. Torrison's
store. II you find anything else that
needs to be replaced with something
new, bear in mind that O. Torrison keeps
everything and at his store is where you
can purchase it for the least money.

SUICIDE.

JOACHIM EGGKRT of this city committed
suicide on Tuesday evening by hanging
himself. Tuesday evening after his wife
had retired be mentioned that he wished
to go out AS he slept in room by HIM
self it was not noticed that he did not
return and in the morning Mrs. Eggert
did her work as usual thinking her hus-
band was still abed. She went to the
barn to milk the COW but found that the
door was secured from the inside by
means of a rope. She returned to the
house and found that the bed in which
her husband slept had not been occupied
during the night. A neighbor cut the
rope and on opening the door, Eggert
was found apparently standing on some
hay. Mrs. Eggert asked him to give the
COW some hay and as he did not answer
she went closer and found that he was
dead. He had used clothes line and
was suspended from ladder. He was
cut down and the body taken to the
house.
Two years ago he was taken sick and
though he regained his bodily health his
mind has been since affected. He was
75 years of age and used state that he
was old enough to die. On one occasion
he told his son he thought he would
hang himself. Fred thought it best to
treat the matter lightly ard got the old
man to laughing and from that time on
he never mentioned the matter to him
again. But the thought was often in his
mind.
There was no cause for the deed as the
old man was comfortably we'll off and did
not have to do any labor to support him.
self. His relations with his family and
relatives were always pleasant, but be
had grown very childish during fhe last
two years. He was born in Prussia.

THE FARMERS ASSOCIATION.

1t may be made'a good thing for cur
county. Farmers ought to think more
of their business. and improve their
methods of farming. What is most
needed in all branches of business now
is economy, the looking after the little
leaks. AS farmers learn to think more
of their work they will exercise better
Judgment in all departments. They will
use the same good sense in purchasing
seeds that they do in other things. They
will cease to pay twice as much for the
same quantity of seeds, (the quality of
which is doubtful at BEST as they would
have to pay at a seed store.
Money used to be made so much easier
that they couldn't 60 out of their way to
save few dimes or dollars even. Now
they are compelled to think of the small
items of expense.
At the seed store they pay for seed
only, not high colored Autographs. You
can buy in such quantities as you need
and in place of fancy colored papers you
can get more seed and better quality.

CdCus
THERE is one subject which teachers
should give some consideration to at
meetings and that is the social relations
Of the teacher. 1t is not the purpose to
intimate that anything like caste dis
tinction should be inaugurated, but the
teacher should be choice in his company
aud careful in his habits. A teacher
should have a standard of propriety
which he is careful never or rarely to
overstep. He cannot maintain that up
rightness of character SO essential to his
calling if he is not careful in selecting
his associates. Conduct which is not
deemed reprehensible in an ordinary day
laborer is otter improper for teacher.
There is great danger in attending balls
where the gathering is promiscuous and
the teacher who seeks these as regular
amusement will soon become unfit to be
in the school room. A gentleman in
speaking with the writer on this subject
lately said be visited school once and
found the teacher asleep in school hours,
and gave as an excuse that he had been
at a ball the night previous. School
boards are neglecting their duty when
they allow teacher to attempt to do his
school work after being up considerable
portion of the preceding night, and
just as soon as the teacher manifests an
inclination to run to every dance in the
neighborhood or every promiscuous
gathering where liquor is drank freely,
he should be dismissed. He can be
legally, for the reason he is not perform
ing the duties for which he is engaged.
There has been little to much carousals
for the good of the schools in some
quarters, little too much laxity of con-
duet for the honor of the profession and
it should be stopped
