Ton knnfs.

Southwestern Wisconsin and North
western Illinois have produced more
men who have attained eminent posi-
tons in the various walks of life than
any other portion of the Northwest. In
the field, the farm, on the bench, before
the bar, in literature and business, the
lead region has furnished representa-
tiyes whose influence has been felt
throughout the length and breadth of the
land In the field it has furnished a
Grant, a Rawlins. a Rowley and Chef
ham. On the forum Washburn, a
Cobb and Barber The bench has
been honored by Drummond, Goth
rem, Cole, Mills, a Dunn and a Glenn
entson. The bar has been illuminated
by a Campbell, a johnson, a Douglas
(John Nd, Shean, an Orion and a
Carter. The lead region can yet num-
Der many men of eminence in their par
ticular spheres, who are as yet unknown
to fame, on account of their modesty
| and real worth, and for the want of
someone to let their great and good quail
tiles be known. We feel that we will
meet long-felt want, and place the
dear and indulgent reader under lasting
obligations, and in fact be justly entitled
to be called a public benefactor, by lead
ing these gentleman before an ever-ap-
preciative public by their top knots.
Geo. b. Cabanis, of Big Patch. Here
is a septagenarian that it is pleasure
to know and always delight to meet.
There are some people in the world who
seem to be perpetually bathing in the
fountain of youth The footprints of
time seem to make but little impression
on them. The hair may show the frost
of many winters, the step slower and be
taken with more care, yet the sparkling
eye, the pleasant smile, the ready re-
partee, tells of nature that never grows
old. Such man is Geo. b. Cabanis.
Seventy years have slipped over him as
easily as water slips over ducks back,
leaving him the same hearty, jolly, fun
loving, rollicking man that he was two
two score years ago. He enters as
heartily into the enjoyments Of the young
as he would if he were yet one of them.
Mr.. Cabanis was born in Kentucky,
came to Wisconsin in his early man
hood, is a carpenter by trade, and has
had large and successful experience in
mining operations. He has been a use
full citizen; disputes between neighbors
have been frequently referred to him for
settlement.
Mr.. Cabanis has been frequently cleo
| ted chairman of his town board and has
also represented his district in the legis-
lature. His house has frequently been
the home of orphan children, and the
aged and homeless were always welcome
to his door. We are glad to know that
the subject of this sketch, by his industry
and care, has acquired q competence for
the evening of life.

that Grant County got dollar for dollar
put in there. Now he would like to get
rid of the responsibility. He didn't
want to be on the committee. He sug-
gested electing one from each assembly
district by ballot. But if he should
serve it would be to the best of his
ability without favor.
Mr.. McFall thought Mr.. RYland,
from his experience and location, could
attend to il better than anyone else and
with less expense to the county.
On the motion of Mr.. BARLEY the
board adjourned to Wednesday at z
A. NJ
MISUNDERSTANDING SESSION.
Board called to order at A. N. All
present except Messrs. Glynn and
Wehrle.
The following building committee was
elected by ballot; Messrs. Macarthur,
Ryland and Kidd.
Mr.. Beebe introduced resolution as
follows:
Resotvcd, That the building commit
tee be and are hereby authorized to bor-
row all necessary means to carry for
ward at once the work of building the
addition to the County Insane Asylum.
Mr.. Whitcher called up the matter of
the Ellenboro bridge and favored an
appropriation to build it.
Messrs. BARLEY and ID. +. Brown OPP
posed it.
Mr. Beebe mad , long argument in
favor of the bridge.
Mr.. Hier objected
Mr.. McFall thought as it is county
road, the county should pay part of the
expense of tho bridge.
Mr.. Kidd thought the appropriation
Of $4,000 which it was customary to
make, could be largely given to aid in
building that bridge.
Mr.. BARLEY moved TO appropriate $3.50
if Ellenboro would pay the rest.
MIR. MCPHERSON said he was sure Ell
lenboro would not do it.
Mr.. BARLEY then moved to make the
amount $500.
Mr.. Beebe said many suits for dam
ages were likely to arise from the lack
of this bridge and made long argu-
ment for the appropriation and moved
to make it S400.
Mr.. Kidd asked if it was understood
that no part of the money was to be ex-
pended till Ellenboro had appointed an
equal amount.
The chair said it was understood that
tins money was not appropriated but
that the chairman was authorized TO
expend the money and the board at its
next annual session would appropriate
the money.
Mr. Beebe's motion was then carried.
The board then adjourned sine die.

Laying Out a Track.


A track for exercising win be found
valuable in the training of any horses
for road purposes and also in the break
ING in of horses to the harness general
", since if team becomes unmanage-
able it may be held to the track until it
gets tired, and thus Il good lesson will
have been taught. Often full mile
will be wanted. The following rules
will enable the work TO be done cor
rectiy:
For mile draw line through the
centre 1920 feet in length, setting a
stake at each end. Then draw another
line on each side and exactly parallel
with it and APO feet from it, setting
stakes mt either end of them. Now
fasten line or Irvine to the centre stake
and describe q half-eircle. A field OF
fortv-two acres will do. For half-pile
draw two straight lines GOO feet long,
ASP feet ) inches apart. With wire
loop find the center between these lines
and drive stakes at each end. From the
stake describe your half-circle for the
turns, and throw them up one inch to
the foot, Three feet from the line will
measure q full half-mile.

Drhorniow Cattle.

The subject OF removing the horns
from cattle has received an unusual
amount of attention among stock men
within the past few months, on account
of the prosecution by the Chicago HUI
name Society OF an Illinois farmer, Mr..
HaaT, who has for some years advocat-
ed and practicad dehorning cattle of
mature age His process is to confine
the animals, and then quickly, with Il
sharp saw, TO take the horns off close up
to the head. He claims that the opera
ton is not excessively painful, that it
makes the animals less dangerous to
each other and their attendants; that
considerable less food is required to
keep them (thc horns calling for much
animal heat to keep them warm in
climate like ours); that the cattle, by
budding more closely together in their
sheds, are better protected from cold;
and lastly, that abortions are less fire.
quent.
Public opinion seemed at first to be
against Mr. HaaH but as the matter is
investigated the farmers are taking
view similar TO his. Saving OFF the
horns is probably less painful, and GER
tainly far less dangerous than castrat-
ing a mature animal, process that
public opinion has sanctioned for CEN
turtles. We are aware that there are
many dangerous bulls kept by our farm
ers that would be far less dangerous if
they We're without horns; indeed, we
look upon a horn upon domestic ami
NAL as a nuisance in every case, but we
have never as yet either practiced or re-
commended others to practice the saw
ing off OF horns upon full grown ami
mails.
We once tried to cut out the incipient
horns on the head of calf, but had not
the heart TO do the work thoroughly, so
made failure of the experiment. We
do believe, however, that the removal of
the horns from young calves should be
a common practice, and that any one
with little experience and courage can
take them out eifectually, and with very
little pain or Inconvenience TO the ami
mails. And we are glad to learn that so
prominent a breeder of fine cattle as
Mr.. John Brooks. of Princeton, has de-
cidcd to give the dohorning method a
trial upon his calves the coming season.
i Hc nOl Il u y No8 - dl dppSBud9e,
not of the skull. but OF the skin. In the
calf the horn is loose on the head, and
may be removed W.;h section of the
skin. The horn IS fed by the skin, as
is also the hair; and rs the removal OF
the skin on any portion of the body
leaves a scar which will not hair over.
so the removal of the skin with the rudi-
mentary horn leaves q scar that cannot
produce a new horn. 1t is claimed that
there is no better time to perform the
operation than when the calf is two
weeks old. The horn at this age is
merely section of soft, hairless skin
called the matrix, or mother of the
future horn. In removing it, it is only
necessary TO make clean work of it,
taking rim of the skin an eighth of an
inch wide surrounding the matrix Ii
can be done with one firm sweep of the
knife, the calf being laid upon its side,
and the head held firmly to the ground
under the knee Of the operator.-N b.

the School running back any earlier
than the years 'S2-'S3 by which statisti-

ever, be OF interest. The High School
