business In the cheapest way We dairymen are
learning, and much light is coming to US through
experience, and the interchange of thought among
ourselves: We are learning that attention to little
things help to secure success that it is cheaper to
feed ensflage than feeding fodder In the usual way:
that we can, by means of the silo keep double the
number Of cattle to the acre than by giving:dry
feed. He believed the time was coming when a
farmer can keep one hundred head for every one
hundred acres.

were sent to tho stage for answer. They were
answered by Mr.. Hoard:
Question How large silo do want to keep

MIR. George J. Kellogg gave an in
structive talk on small fruits and
apples, before the Farmers Institute,
on Friday last. Mr. Kellogg has made
the subject of small fruits and apples
Il speciality for ty-three years, near
GAINESVILLE, in this state. 1t is interest
ing to mention that Mr.. Kellogg was
the first white child that was landed
on shore here from vessel (the
schooner lllinOis) Aug. 2, 1885. Mr..
kellogg received his early education in
this place, and was a pupil in the
school taught here by Gov. Harvey.
His father, Austin Kellogg, settled i'm
that early day at Pike Greek, about
two miles north of this place, where a
town was started. which for a couple
of years threatened to rival this place.

Senator Blair's educational bill.
which proposes liberal appropriation
for the education of the illiterate mass
Hs in this country, passed the Senate
last week by a vote of 80 to 80. This
measure has several times been refer
rid 10 in these columns; it has for sew
eral years been before Congress, and
has passed the Senate in former ses-
slons. 1t is not political measure.
The two Senators from this state are
divided on the question-Sawyer vot-
ing for the bill and Spooner against.
There is a strong effort to defeat the
passage of the bill in the House, the
opposition coming from quarters where
it ought not to be expected. Public
journals that have had much 10 say on
the dangers of illiteracy in this country
and the need of schools for the uuedu.
Gated, now oppose :he appropriation
from the surplus revenues to remedy
the evil of which they have so much
complained. And now, as still
further objection to the Blair education
bill, these opposition papers declare it
is found unconstitutional. This is al
most equivalent to charging the Senate
of the United States with stupidity ;
that body having bill of such vast i'm
portance before it for years, and never
before quite recently having discovered
its unconstitutionality, appears very
much like sham pretense for oppos.
ing it.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

~>N~A'~ -
We believe the sentiment of this
city is voiced In saying that entire
satisfaction is felt with the Institute
held here. Those who came from the
country towns proved agreeable guests
wherever they accepted the proffered
Inequalities of our citizens. If the
people of the country towns were as
we'll pleased with the Institute as
were the people of the city, then there
has been mutual satisfaction all
around. There is no hazard in declar-
ing that the Institute was a decided
success, and that it fully met the
reasonable expectations of all its
friends. The fact has received addi-
tional weight, that the farmers are the
rightful nobility in this country-not
nobility of caste, but as the basis of
all industrial occupations, and the up
holder of them all. Farmers are not
counseled to become politicians in a
partisan sense, but they are advised
to acquaint themselves with the work
ings of our system of government,
which, unlike most others, invests the
people with the sovereignty. The
future of this great country will not
be what few ambitious schemers
may seek to make it, but what the
sovereign people may determine to
have it. The farmers in the United
States hold the balance of power; they
numerically outnumber the mechanic.
al, professional and other classes COM
bined. If the laws do not mete out
equal justice to the tillers of the soil,
the farmers have the corrective in
their own hands majorities must
govern. 1t must be conceded that
the agricultural population have been
modest in claiming so small share of
the public offices, state and national.
OF the 76 members of the United
States Senate, there are but one or two
who are classified as farmers. The
number of members in that body who
are accounted millionaires has been
often matter of remark, and excited
suspicion that they did not all reach
their positions without the help Of
money. In the House of Representa-
tives, with $50 members, there is only
a very small sprinkling of those who
are registered as farmers. 1t will be
generally admitted that it would be
more in accordance with the true spirit
of our institutions, not that farmers
necessarily should be represented in
law making bodies in proportion to
their number rs class, but in much
larger numbers than they now are.

1t was freely talked at Washington
last week that Hon. L. B. Caswell
member Of Congress from this district

event that Gov. Rusk, the present in

TO THE GROWERS OF APPLES.

At the suggestion of citizens in this
county, who have for a number of
years past given attention to- the rails
ing Of apples, with varied success, it is
proposed to hold conference of those
interested in that branch of fruit cul-
ture. The object of the conference
will be to compare notes and expe-
riences with the growers of different
varieties of apples, and the kind Of
soil best adapted to each of the varie-
ties. Every variety of apples has its
peculiar history. 1t seems to be under
stood that Wisconsin is not as well
adapted to the raising of apples as
some other states. But because there
have been partial failures, the idea
must not be INDUCED that enough
apples cannot he grown for home use,
if nothing more. Apples are the most
indispensable fruit for every family
they contribute to health, convenience
and comfort. The purpose of this
article is to ascertain the sentiments
of owners of apple orchards and others
as to the propriety Of holding such a
conference. Answers are solicited
from all who are interested, suggesting
their opinion as to the proper time and
place for holding the conference. If
enough responses should be favorable,
the fruit growers who have proposed
the measure will call the conference.
The answers may be addressed to the
KenOsha TELEGRAPH Office. or to d.
b. Benedict. County clerk.

Doubtless many of our citizens wer
pleased to notice among the speakers
at the Farmers Institute b. +. Norton,
once well known here. Mr.. Norton,
during a period of two years. from
May, 1854, to May, 1865, was the pastor
OF the Congregational church in this
place. He was regarded an acceptable
preacher fine speaker, having taken
and given evolutionary lectures while
in preparation for the ministry. His
health failed and his condition was
such that his physician assuredshim he
could not expect permanent relief
while he continued in the active duty
of preaching he therefore retired
from the ministry.

1t is sometimes regarded nnmanner-
ly to repeat overheard conversations,
but the temptation in this instance is
too strong to withhold it from the
farmers in the county. One of our
citizens relates that during an interval
in the farmers meeting in Kimball

speakers remarked to the State Insti.

intelligent-appearing body of farmers

present with two pieces of music with
a skill that would have been creditable
to younger and experienced perform

music keeps afresh the intellectual
faculties, and helps to smooth the path

good plants, true to name (not bought

Now, you men of muscle, prepare the

perseverance give the lords no rest till
you get the money or the plants, and

Mr.. Kellogg said he believed more
apples died through pure neglect, from
old age and exhaustion of the proper
fertilizers within reach of the roots, than
from the unfavorableness of the locality.
Wood ashes helped to keep apple trees
alive and in vig0r. Many trees die be-
cause set in too moist soil. He advised
farmers to plant on ridges that have
natural drainage, and, better yet, to
tile-drain deep between the rows.

Mr.. s. Gault, of Selma, being called
upon, related his experience. Had been
thirty-fve years trying to raise fruit,
but, taking it all in all, his orchards had

lack of knowledge. We know but very
little about the life and growth Of plants.
He thought understanding would do
more than anything else and, in addi-
ton, by selecting good hardy varieties
and taking good care of them success
might be secured.

The Senate Committee on Military to.
day authorized the Chairman to prepare
bill giving to the Major-General of the
Army all the rights, privileges and pow.

as to enable the Major-General to fill

are not provided for otherwise by statute.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
House to-day passed the Fortification
Appropriation bill Chairman Townshend,
of the Military Committee, intends to
push the report of the conferees on the
Army bill, which embodies the provision
for sea coast armament inserted by the
Senate. Report must be first made to
the Senate, but Townshend is hopeful of
getting it before the House in day OF
two. He says in his opinion there will
be no provision for Notifications this
year if the House fails to concur in the
conference report, as he is satisfied the
bill passed to-day cannot become law.

The failure of the age is the attempt of
the Republican leaders to convert re-
duction in the present war tariff which
amounts to only an average of seven per
cent.-that is, to be exact, reduction of
from 40 to AZ per cent, which is the real
scope of the Mills bill-into free trade.
The more intelligent of the Republican
leaders are themselves becoming ashamed
of this bold pretense. AS they are men
of fair intelligence and possessed of good
memories, they know we'll that their own
party in 1882 professed desire to reduce
the tariff an average of twenty per cent. !,
that it clamored for tariff reduction in
1883, and that the platform on which
Blaine was nominated in 1884 pledged
the party to tariff revision and reduction |!
They have felt the pulse of the country,
and they know that the war tariff howl
is not winning one. They would gladly
rewrite the Chicago platform of 1883 if
they could, and they would still more
gladly change their candidates. All the
blunders committed in the mad whirl of
their last National Convention stare
them in the face with the vividness with
which mans follies appall him after
night of debauch.

THERE are great many people who
have grave doubts as to whether Mr..
Blaine really desires to see Mr.. Harrison
elected to the Presidency. They reason
on the selfish principle, which frequently
governs politicians, that, having failed to
achieve the dream of his life, he is in no
great humor to have the prize go to a
man whom he looks upon as his inferior
in every respect. Those who hold this
idea will be confirmed in it by the speech
in which the Plumed knight defends the
great trusts which are now threatening
the whole business structure of the
United States. That remarkable utter
ance will certainly not make Harrison.
coupled with his own pro-monopoly, an.
ti-labor, pro. Chinese record, any votes.
On the contrary, it will solidiiy against
him that large and influential sentiment
which believes, with President Cleye-
land, that these menacing evils ought to
be curbed. 1t will surprise no one that
James G. Blaine, who used his position
as Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives to further the schemes of a railway
corporation. vacating his high place and
going on to the floor of the House for
that purpose, should entertain such
ideas, but it will surprise a great many
that he should have expressed them in
public.
