PLANT THE RIGHT KIND

Certain dealers in the County have
taken advantage of my liberal advertis-
ing of Ensilage or Fodder Corn and are
offering a cheaper grade of Illinois Corn
in its stead at slight reduction. It re-
quires only one-half bushel of seed per
acre, hence, difference of % cents per
bushel would make only a difference of
1913 cents per acre in the cost of seed.
Can you afford to take such risks for the
slight difference? If you think you can
am still ready to serve you, and have
secured a quantity of the same Corn
which L offer at $1.25 per bushel; should
you think it wise to plant it, would ad-
wise you, however, to pay . cents more
per bushel and get the true stock that
can warrant, and every one who planted
this Corn last year from Illinois will give
you the same advice.

CAPTAIN Dow of this city was taken
quite seriously sick last week. Physi-
clans found it difficult to determine the
nature of his disease until it was learned
he was the owner of a horse afflicted with
the CHAMBERS, and then the dread nature
O. his disease was only too apparent.
His sufferings were very acute and his
condition pitiable.
Some time ago he purchased a horse
from person living in Sheboygan Falls.
The captain was quite horse trader and
seldom kept a horse for any length of
time. The horse which he purchased at
Sheboygan Falls had been exposed to the
CHAMBERS, but it is not known whether
the disease had manifested itself at the
time the purchase was made. Captain
Dow contracted the disease from the
horse, which he groomed himself.
The state veterinarian was telegraphed
for to make an examination of the dis
eased horse. 1t is said there have been a
few cases of CHAMBERS among horses in
other portions of the county within the
last year.
Captain Dow died on Monday of this
week.

WE believe there is law in this state
authorizing cities to vote at their charter
elections an annual appropriation for the
support of a Tree public library; and in
deed 1t Is difficult to conceive OF step
more necessary or that would result in
more benefit than this. Our public
schools do their best to inculcate love
for reading in the young people. But
scarcely Is the appetite formed when the
vast majority quit the schoolroom, and,
for lack of ailment, the intellectual side
OF their natures becomes emsciated and
weak. Social dissipation engrosses the
spare time of the young, and moral and
mental starvation are the result. Solid
attainments are not the Immediate result
of school course. The germs may there
be sown but they need constant nourish-
ment that they may fructify. Such de-
velopement can only be reached by much
reading and reflection. Without pub
lie library much can not be hoped for in
this direction. With it would disappear
much of the emptiness in the minds of
the young and an appreciation of really
intellectual treats given by the best tai
ent from abroad would be more common.
Hours spent in the saloon, at the card
table and in numberless frivolous amuse-
nents that refine the serious right out of
the young be proftably spent in
the reading rooms of the library or in
studying its books by the family fireside
Professional men, and business men
sould then have access to a variety of
standard periodicals and reference books
which even the wealthiest can not often
have as private property. Upwards of
$1,000 could be annually appropriated in
4 this city and individuals would scarce
ly feel the burden. The enlightenment
of our citizens is public matter and this
question should meet with public agita-
ton. Private citizens concede, as in the
ate and laudable stereopiticon agitation,
that the young people need intellectual
timulants, but they feel also that what
the public needs private purses should
not often supply. A public library is
needed. 1t underlies all permanent lit
erary work whatever it's character. A
stereopticon would be of little use with
out 1t. Literary and debating societies
to be abiding and far-reaching in thei
influence, can not dispense with a well
equipped library.

LORD MACANLAY, in preparing a critl-

disposition to write unsavory language,
said man may talk nonsensically by his
own freside, but that he should write
out nonsense, re-write it, correct the
proof-sheets and send it abroad into the
world is enough to make man ashamed
OF his species. These words are peril
nent to certain case in this city. Will
some one skilled in the art of leading
the immature mind to form a conception,
take the editor of The Times in charge
and prevail on him to desist from writing
until he has thoughts to deliver and re-
frain for time from contact with htera-
