Farmers generally are busy with their
seeding the present week. The back
wardness of the season has kept consider
able of the land too wet and cloggy to
cultivate until within the past few days,
making seeding on the whole later than
usual. There will be a less amount of
spring wheat sown than last year, and
the area of barley and oats will be in
creased. Many farmers will plant en-
silage corn for the first time this spring,
as they find the matter OF winter feed for
stock requires extra attention with the
frightening of the winters shat is exper-
fenced in this latitude.
1t is given out in political circles that
Charles Barwig, of Mayville, will be the
coming nominee of the Democratic party
for member of Congress in the Second
district to succeed Richard Guenther.
Barwig is a wholesale liquor dealer, and
stands we'll as business man. He has
never been prominent in politics, but his
friends think be would make streng
candidate. There is prejudice or fear,
rather, about his hailing from Mayville
on account of this being Delahey's old
town, thinking that, perhaps, the same
ill-Iuck might follow him that did cart"
But as an offset to this feeling it is to be
remembered that Mayville is also the bal
liwick of S. w. Lamoreux, on whose
shoulders rests the guidance Of the Demo-
cracy of Dodge county at the present
time.
The lecture of Hon. @. r Field Fri
day evening was one of the best yet de-
livered in the Y. NJ. G. A. course, and
the subject, "Among the Law-breakers,"
was made deeply interesting to the large
audience present Mr.. Field showed by
his exhaustive summary that he had made
prisons and the effect of the various kinds
of prison regulations upon the condemned,
matters of study and thoughtful consider
alton. He is a firm believer in prison
reform as a means of ultimately benefit
ing not only the prisoner but also the
community. Mr.. Field regarded the FL
mira, n. Y, prison as the acme Of per-
lection in the reform plan, and gave
fine description of the institution. AS
converse to the Elmira system, he cited
the philadelphia prison with its solitary
confinement and other evidences of old
methods still in vogue within its walls.
