REASONS WHY KENOSHA COUN-
TY FARMERS SHOULD ATTEND
THE FARMERS INSTITUTE AT
Union GROVE

There is an attempt being made by
interested parties to burden the tax-pay-
ers of the state by the purchase of a
large farm, the building of large seien-
tific barns, and the building of an extern
sive pile of walls, to be called an agricul-
tural college. IF this is done there will
be large OUTLAWS for the purchase of. fam
cy stock of all classes of farm animals.
There must be employed at large salaries
corps Of professors and teachers, and
all at the expense Of the taxpayer.
This is asked for under the plausible
but fraudulent plea of benefting the
farmer by affording his sons and daugh-
| tiers a gratuitous scientific agricultural
education. We now have state agri-
cultural college as well equipped for its
purpose as that of any in the United
States.
| There is room in it now for ten times
as many students as have ever sought
knowledge in its halls. Then where is
the need of spending half million dol
lars to build a school for which there
viii be no pupils? IF there were need
for another school or college of agricul-
ture the people would not object to be
taxed to build it and to be taxed every
year hereafter for its support. The bill
introduced in the legislature last winter
to establish a new school of agriculture
asked for the modest sum of $50, 900
This sum would barely buy the large

Mr.. /. N. Utter, resident of the first
ward, has been sick many months and
exhausted all his spare means for the
support of himself and family. He was
mach perplexed how to obtain money

his embarrassment, solicited help from
kindly disposed people, and collected
1875 for the sick man, which relieved
him from his present pecuniary trouble.

of kindness to the sick.

FIFTY THOUSAND SONG BOOKS.

The collection of students Songs, y
published by Moses King, of Harvard
square, Cambridge, Mass, has had the
most noteworthy sale ever known for a
book of its class-almost fifty thousand
copies already-this, too, although nu-
merous competitors and imitators were
put in the market after it became ap-
parent that Moses Kings collection had
met with so much success. This collec-
ton of Students Songs" was edited by
VIM. FL. Hills, Of the Harvard class of
1880 (now an editor of The Boston Globe),
and published by Moses King, of the
Harvard class of 1881, the names of
both appearing on the title page of the
genuine collection only. It's success is
due chiefly to the freshness of its sixty
copyrighted songs comprising those
Jolly and melodious tunes and peculiar
phrases which, within the past ten
years have arisen and become generally
popular among the students of all Amer
loan colleges. The low price, too
fifty cents-and the attractive appear
ance, also, have had their influence in
making Students Songs" the most
successful book of its class ever publish.
