ERANKLiN,s IDEAS.



In letter to Lori Kames, dated Lon
don, July 21, 1869, Benjamin Franklin
writes: II have observed in America
that the farmers are more thriving in
those parts of the country where horned
cattle are used than in those where the
labor is done by horses. The latter arc
said to require twice the quantity Of
land to maintain them, and after all
are not good to eat; at least we do not
think them so. Here Is waste of
land that might afford subsistence for
so many of the human species. Food
is always necessary to all, and much
the greater part of the labor of man
kind is employed in raising provisions
for the mouth" Franklin, in this ex-
tract, exhibits his peculiar shrewdness
in regard to wastefulness. He was tho
apostle Of thrift and of the utilization
of time and Of every possible shred or
remnant that could be turned TO any
saving purpose. His teachings, rightly
applied, would be a mine of wealth to
the toilers of our day. An average
American family, it is said, wastes in
food daily what would sustain an aver
age Continental family. But Frant-
Inns observations of the use of h.. ~
cattle were confined to survey of only
Il limited portion of the then colonies,
from Maryland north into New En-
gland and to Canada, forest covered
legion and largely broken by rocky
and precipitous lands. where the work
OF breaking up and clearing was mainly
done by cattle. He lived in an era be-
fore the prairies were known and long
before the epoch of farm machinery
for cultivation, harvesting and th.esh-
ing. His was the period of slow hand
labor, anterior to our age of rapidity,
of stupendous enterprise and of steam.

decline in the farm animal lifo of this
country, few figures from tho census

DrED.-At Mauitowoc, Wis, May 25th
1888, Ervie E. Sherman, youngest daugh
ter of Lewis and Elizabeth Sherman,
aged 26 years and 10 months.
Twenty-six years ago there came into
the world this spirit bright, joyous, hope
full, constituted by nature to prominent
ly enjoy the pleasures Of earth-life. For
some reason which we cannot under
stand, it seemed best to the Divine Wis
dom that this beautiful spirit should in
habit a body exceedingly susceptible to
the encroachments of disease. In early
childhood there began friction between
the spirit and the flesh which grew into
a mighty struggle. Year by year subtle
disease fastened itself more firmly upon
the body bringing such dire pains and af-
fictions as few ever experience, debarring
the spirit from all social pleasures and
sapping life of almost every JOY. In the
midst of all these trials, when sympathy
was so precious, Death tore away
tender loving mother and most KIND
father. Nor was this spirit benumbed by
disease to its sorrows and deprvations,
as in many cases, but was left keenly
alive and sensitive to its great affections.
Do we wonder that such suffering almost
crushed the spirit? do we wonder that it
was hard to be reconciled, or that the
soul was tempted in bitterness 10 cry
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord?
forever"
But, let us rejoice that into the dark
ness their came light, into the terrible
combat there came aid to the spirit so
that, in spite of the powers Of evil, it rose
triumphant into that realm of "peace
which passeth understanding" and there
patiently, hopefully, unmurmuringly,
even cheerfulIy, awaited its perfect release
from the enemy already conquered. At
last, that release has come and the freed
spirit with JOY unutterable mounts to its
reward. X

THE Opera House was comfortably
filled last night and all enjoyed the must
cal treat. The opera is form of enter
tainment by no means common in Mani
towoc and familiarity with its features is
a necessity to its thorough appreciation.
The average person must find his enjoy
ment IN those musical tidbits with which
the opera Is interspersed. Miss Bensberg
is charming singer and her affabiIity
makes her genius more pleasing. Dur
ing one OF the interims between acts she
appeared in front Of the curtain and de-
lighted the audience with that incompar-
able song-The Last Rose OF Summer.
She was applauded with hearty onthu-
siasm.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.

During the winter I quoted Hiram
Smith of Sheboygan County as preferring
the ''Sheeptooth' Fodder Corn to the
"B. & W." This was the opinion he ex-
pressed during the fall before the maturi-
ty of the crop. Lately he has written
me expressing a different opinion and
now says that he regards the 'B. & W."
as the best and the 'Sheeptooth'' second
best. I make this correction at this time
both in justice to Mr.. Smith and to the
farmers of the county as many of the
farmers of the county have great respect
for Mr.. Smiths views and would pro-
badly be influenced by them.
