The Republican Ticket.

The Republican state ticket placed
at the head OF our columns this week
is one of the best tickets ever put in
nomination by the Republicans OF
Wisconsin. Especially in it's person
mel is the ticket a strong one and far
above the average Each of the men
nominated is capable and deserving
of the warm and active support, not
ony of Republicans, but of all citi-
zens who regard the good government
of our state paramount to every
other consideration.
The citizens of Jefferson county
have a peculiar interest," in this ticket
because OF two names upon it, those
OF William D. Hoard for governor and
Edwin D. Coe for secretary of state.
For nearly twenty years Jefferson
county has been the home of Gov.
Hoard, while Mr. Coe is a native of
Jefferson county and for a long time
one of its popular residents. The Re
publicans have selected a winning
ticket and it's success by a. majority
of at least 10000 may be considered
as certain.
Coupled with the wise selection of
candidates a grand platform of prin-
ciples was adopted to add strength
to the ticket and give assurance Of
victory in November. 1t is not a.
platform of double meaning express
sions and empty platitudes, but
speaks out in clear and express tones
that can be well understood. Upon
the school question it is fair and rea-
sonable, enunciating principle that
every true and loyal citizen of the
state can heartily endorse and firmly
stand by, unless he is blinded by fa-
naticism and false idea of the found
alton upon which this nation rests.

THE Republicans of Wisconsin de-
serve especial commentator for the
courage and good Judgment displayed
at the State convention held at Mil
waukee on the goth inst. The renom-
nation of Gov. Hoard by acclama-
tion was q platform in itself. His
course has been SO pronounced and
free from vacillation upon the dis
tinctly state issue of the period, the
Bennett law, that such an indorse-
ment was an eloquent expression of
public opinion. Theparty of progress
and intelligence has undaunted cour-
age in upholding it's principles and re-
warding it's fidelity in the discharge of
a public trust. The election last
spring of "Bad Boy" Peck to the
mayoralty of Milwaukee on an anti
Bennett law issue would have fright
ened some men, but had no effect up
on Gov. Hoard. He kept his flag fly
ing ali the same, and the party ap-
proves his course and indorses his
Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Man to Stand BY.

Two years ago w. D. Hoard was
called from his newspaper to be the
candidate of the Republican party.
His friends were mostly among the
farmers who had learned his solid
worth, his reasonableness, his infiex-
IDLE integrity, his courage and his alb
solute freedom from the least faint
of demagogy. He has made mistakes
perhaps, the mistakes common to
honest men inexperienced in public
Office, but the quick sensitiveness of
his patriotism, his complete disregard
of the ordinary suggestions of alarm
ed politicians when patriotic prin-
ciple is at stake, has endeared him to
the people, who have looked with in
tense interest to this convention to
express their affection and esteem
His two years of experience has fitted
him to meet with intelligence every
demand of the Office. He has never
affirmed the perfection of the Bennett
law in it's details, as his letters and
speeches show, but he has adhered
doggedly to the idea that the exist
ence of our free institutions depends
on the education of the people and
that to deny the right of the state to
enforce a reasonable measure of edu-
cation is to assault the very founda-
tions of the Republic. He comes be-
fore the people of the state again to
be Endorsed or condemned on his rec
ord as an honest patriot, on his de-
termined stand in favor of the little
school-house as the factory of intelli-
gent and devoted citizens. MiZaoaukee

SURELY the most infantile engineer

SURELY the most infantile engineer
ing project that ever commanded a
million dollars is that of the gravity
tunnel" to connect New York and
Brooklyn. As set forth in a telegram
the plan is to give the tunnel an incli-
nation toward the center from either
end and let the trains of passenger cars
III down by gravity. It is calculated
that the momentum will carry them
almost up to the incline on the other
side" From the point at which they
stop they are to be hauled up with q
cable. @Any schoolboy" ought to know
that this short haul will require exactly
the same expenditure of power (and
therefore cost exactly as much) as it
would to haul the whole distance on a
level track-.the time between termini
being equal. Tho protector of this fas-
cinating- enterprise is of course to be
President of the company, but he will
hold his place as castellan in the tower

Good roads AVE h~orsefiesh and We
hicles; bad roads wear out both. Good
roads are the exception in this country.
and bad roads the rule. In the winter
and early spring portions of our
try are almost inaccessible owing to the
soft, muddy and dangerous condition of
the roads. According to the recent ex-
animation of the mntter it was estimated
that a load which one horse con draw on
level iron rails will require, on smooth.
level asphalt road, ono and two-third
horses; on bad Belgian pavement. three
and one-eighth horses; OIL good cobble-
stone road. thirteen horses; on ordinary
earth road. twenty horses; on sand forty
horses. The wear and tear on horses
and vehicles will thus he seer to be
great on poor earth roads. The ques-
ton comes home to every farmer, aud,
in fact. every one who lives in the rural
districts. Good roads should be OBJ
tanned by all means, and there is no
better why than to hnvc the question
discussed at the Farmers Clubs.
Enough money and labor are annually
spent on the highways of most of our
States to produce good roads, but the
result does not yet show That good judg-
ment has been exercised i'll expanding
h time, labor and money. This then,
seems the most important question for
farmers to settle. Another question to
decide before spring is whether certain
road-beds should be surface drained or
underdrained with tile. Some roads
can be greatly improved by shortening
them, or cutting Off cnrves and wind
ings. A great deal of unnecessary wear
to horses and vehicles could thus be
saved by attending to the roads in time.

In IN entertainment given at q village
in Illinois lately, a novel use of incan-
descent lamps was made. Several
young ladies gave q drill in military
costume. Their helmets were SUR
mounted with three incandescent lights,
with red, white and blue globes. In
certain parts Of the drill the lamps were
suddenly illuminated, and the effect was
striking. The means by which this was
accomplished was extremely simple. A
converter was placed on the outside of
the building in which the hall was
located. The secondary wires ran under
the floor to brass plates about three
inches square, arranged in twos on the
stage floor. From the lamps on the
young ladies' helmets concealed wires
ran down to little brass plates in the
heels Of the shoes. After concluding a
series of evolutions each young lady
would come to a stand in the front of
the stage and plant her heels firmly on
the plate on the stage. The lights
would flash up and contribute greatly
to the general effect.

THE DAIRY.
Right Temperature for Churnlne,

A butter maker. i'll an address before q
meeting OF New York dairymen, along
with other sensible remarks, said: 1T
is almost impossible to churn cream
from any two dairies at the same temper
ature." In this he struck the keynote
to c%hurning. There is n difference in
diaries as we'll as individual cows. The
speaker said he churned at GS degrees in
eighteen minutes, while n neighbor did
his churning at 81 degrees in twenty
minutes. Maj. Alvord places the range
grees to So degrees. Some dairies re-
quire one point and some another be-
tween these extremes. Every dairyman
must decide for himself by his own
thermometer. The time of year. the
distance either way the COWS are from
calving, the feed, the breed and other
conditions, perhaps some not known or
thought of, mny vary the required tenn
perature for churning. Too high q tenn
perature makes the buttercome too soft,
and too low n temperature makes SLOW
%churning," perhaps imperfect separation
of the butter from the milk. There APP
pears to be q medium point where the
butter globules IRE just soft enough to
cohere readily. This is the point to be
aimed at. And care should be taken not
to have the temperature to raise or fall
while %churning. Sometimes people be-
gin ut too low a temperature and churn
and churn until the temperature gets up
to proper churning point and the butter
at last comes" Slow churning indi-
Gates something wrong.-SoutherM Lire

Yes! and too quick churning as we'll.
We like to put the time from twenty to
forty minutes, never more than one

used extensively the temperature must
be higher.-Dairy Column.
Very often the churning is too slow"

THE ORCHARD.
Culuyntine the Orchard.

The orchard is generally supposed to
be a place to be utilized for several
purposes. If farmers were satisfied to
grow q single crop in the orchard, MS
they are in respect to cereals, there
would BIO fewer complaints about the
unproftableness of fruit; but they al
ways seem DESTROYS of procuring o crop
of fruit and q crop of grain or grass
from the land also. Now, MS the land is
no more capable of producing two good
crops when used rs an orchard than
when occupied by other crops, there is
no reason why an orchard which includes
the Ian i'll one sense should be afflicted
with more than it should produce. But
ms the space between the trees seems to
be ~unoccupied, though really not SO, the
farmer is tempted to put in q crop of
grass, grain, or vegetables, and wonders
why the orchard is SO unproductiye.
The production of a large crop of
fruit deprives the soil of q large q
tity of mineral matter. especially pot
ash. and although the trees themselves
seem to occupy but a limited space, with
their branches in the air, nevertheless
the roots occupy every portion of the
ground, and are ut work upon every
atom of available nutritious matter that
can be tnken from the soil. To add a
crop of grass is but subjecting the land
already heavily taxed by the trees to the
production of two crops The reason
why some orchards flourish while stand
ing in grass is because the demands of
the trees and of that particular kind of
grass are dissimilar, yet in the course
of time one exhausts the soil of that
which the other requires.
Instead of growing two crops the or
chard should be cultivated and kept
clean. Trees do not require stable ma
nure unless it is we'll rotted, but an APP
plication of lime or wood ashes in the
spring and fall, with the surface kept
clean with a c%ultivator, will greatly inn
prove the trees, and also the quality Of
the fruit. The pillow should not be used
by running too deeply, since that tears
up and destroys the roots. All the or
chari wants is occasional cultivation,
and close pruning once a year. Another
point to be observed is that of thipning
the fruit from young trees when they
are too heavily laden. II this is done,
that remaining will be Of a better quail
ity and finer in appearance. In nearly
all cases whore orchards fail, the cause
may be traced TO mismanagement.-Cor
American Caltirator.
