The following is from the advance
sheet of the Report of the State Board
of Charities and Reform, and will be
read with interest,
Kenosha County Jail and Court House
was visited Dec. Is. A new Jail has
been built with all the modern improve
ments. There are four cells on the low
er and five on the second story, each to
contain two berths, if required. Bath
room and water closets, and plenty of
water. The city uses for a lookup a
portion Of the lower floor, which is en-
tered from the outside, and can be kept
entirely separate from the Jail. The
cells being completely isolated, can be
used either above or below for females,
when necessary.
Two prisoners in Jail, one under SEN
tence to State prison, and leaves for
there tomorrow. One will be brought
from Racine soon.
Thejailor's house, for comfort and con-
yenience, is model. The Court House
also is entirely new. The lower part is
occupied by the city for offices, Council
room, &C., the city contributing $4,000
towards its erection. The court room is
q gem. Oak finish, plate glass windows
opera seats in court room for the audi.
ence. think it the neatest Court House
in the state. The county appropriated
1923, 900. Mr.. q. G. Simmons, as an in
ducement to the county to build, gave
$1,000, and Mr.. E. Balm, $1,000, and
then the county, fearing it could not be
built for that sum, hesitated, and Mr.. z
G. Simmons took the contract to com
plete itaccording to the plans and speci
tications prepared for the county, and
has done much that the plans did moi
call for. Having heretofore condemned
in no mild terms the Kenosha County
Jail and Court House, it affords me
pleasure to have it in my power tc
write this report.
Mr.. Simmons and some of the coun.
ty officers were with me at the Court
room, and Mr.. Simmons takes com.
mendable pride in showing it. To Mr.
Balm and Mr.. Simmons the people oil
Kenosha county are greatly indebted fol
these useful and beautiful buildings, the
whole cost of which to the county, wher
they pay the city the S., 900 which they
will doubtless soon do including the
lands for the Court House, will be $28,
900, cheaper than any county. in the
state that makes pretense of having good
buildings. ANDREW E. GILMORE.

Shows and various attractions which
have no proper connection with agri-
cultural fairs are relied upon as one
of the sources of revenue to pay the ex-
penses Of these exhibitions, the mora
substantial classes of tanners will not
care to give their patronage. There
are superfcial-minded people who sup
pose the business of farming is easily
understood, and that it requires but
little study to comprehend it all. Farm.
ers' Institutes, for which our state has
wisely made provision for encourage
ment, will open new fields for instruc-
ton in the science of farming. The

products which are grown for the use
of man in other parts of the world, and
which can be naturalized here with
advantage Agriculture is one of the
worlds great interests, upon which all
others for the sustentation of the race
are dependent. 1t is safe to- predict
that Farmers Institutes will become
one of the popular and useful home in
stitutions of the people in every county.

Is We may ask now what is the profes-
sor's science of agriculture He has
made g study of the facts and laws of
plant-growth, and he knows all about
the science of plants. He is an agricul-
tural botanist, and will give your SONS in
teresting and valuable lectures on agri-
cultural botany for a good round salary.
You think clover is a grass. He laughs
in his sleeve at your ignorance and says
your sons will know better after they
have been to college. He tells the boys
clover is not grass it is one of the
leguminous plants and is related to the
bean. Next the professor ofagricultural
chemistry takes up the clover. Heh
studied into and knows what the plant
is made of. He knows the science of
its elements. He has taken all the con-
stituents of the plant apart, as much so
as matchmaker does watch, and he
teaches your boys how much nitrogen,
protein, carbohydrates and ashit contains.

Ravenna little more than two years.
and by his ability and practical chris
tianity has endeared himself not only
to his own church members but to the
citizens generally, irrespective of be-
lief or creed. He is a gentleman of
broad and liberal views, possessing to
an eminent degree the qualities of q
man calculated to benefit all classes of
society. Charity is almost a watch
word with him, and for that reason he
leaves Ravenna without an enemy.
He was always found at the front in
ali movements of active moral reform,
and never compromised with the evil
he labored to eradicate. Yet his words
were'so tempered with the wisdom of
charity and spirit of love for mankind

he antagonized no man. In the de

tains a severe loss, and to his new
field of labor he. will carry the best
wishes of our citizens.

Kent is mourning because Rsvenns
is getting away with her in growth
and prosperity. All that is needed
here is the proper push and energy Of
thought and execution and We will
not only retain our extensive manu-
factories, but will speedily witness the
establishment of others. A happy in
dication that our citizens are begiu.
Mug to awaken to the emergency was
shown by their action in regard to
securing the new tile works. The
great things of this world are never
engineered by sluggards, and the same
is true of smaller ones. By the same
action displayed in the tile works pro-
ject our citizens will soon become
masters of the situation. There are
railroads in every portion of our city,
we have an inexhaustible supply of
water in every part of town and the
lay of the land is first class for the
erection of buildings and building
side tracks to them. In this respect
we have the advantage of any other
town in the county, and indeed are
able to offer better inducements in
every way than the metropolitan"
city on the classical Cuyahoga.
