the heating process, if allowed to
continue, may cause the loss of am

There is not one crop grown that
requires killing up if it is grown in
the right manner. Level cultivation
is best for all; while deep planting
provides depth of soil without the in
furious piling up OF the soil in ridges
The crops grown should be in
accordance with the demand of your
nearest market, but this rule does not
apply where articles can be shipped
to other points at q low cost. The
markets should be carefully observed
and prices noted.
Professor Storer says that many
farmers in New England have found
that mixtures of bone meal and wood
ashes serve them an excellent purpose
when used as substitutes for barn-yard
manure. On good land apply 600
pounds of bone meal and 20 bushels of
unleached ashes.
All plants and trees consume water
IN large quantles. Sir John LaweS
discovered that an acre of barley will
take up 1,094 tons of water in two
days. Trees and plants are COM
posed more largely of water than any
other substance. The branch of
tree will lose nine-tenths of it's weight
by drying.
A gallon Of pine tar costs very little,
but it is very useful to have around the
farm. 1t makes an excellent grease for
wooden axles; a little of it rubbed on
a trough in which salt is given to the

young apple trees will repel the hate

Cost of Working Poor Land.

The reason many farmers have to
work harder and Logger hours
is because their land is not
rich enough to give full crops.
Such land may be called cheap, but
the greater cost of working it in epro-
portion to its products makes it the
dearest Of all. So if the farmer wants
reduced hours of labor let his efforts
be concentrated on increasing the fer
tility Of his soil. When it is rich
enough he may make eight hours a
days labor. Hours of work for market
gardRers are always shorter than on
the farm. The land is richer and the
employees receive on the average bet
ter wages for their shorter hours than
do hired men on the farm.

is anticipated that 100000 acres of
land can thus be made to yield a good
crop annually.
Probably in no other locality in the
Union can there be found SO many
artesian wells of as great force and sup
plying SO large flow as those of South
Dakota.
The artesian basin has been found to
extend from jamestown, N. D., to YER
million, S. D., the eastern wall being
found to be nearly parallel to and about
100 miles west of the Minnesota State
line.
The depth of borings of the various
wells varies from $40 feet to 1875 feet,
the former being at Yankton, while the
latter is at jamestown. The flow of
water greatly depends upon the size Of
bore. The largest we'll in the Dakotas
at the present time is six inches in
diameter and the smallest two inches in
diameter. Nearly all of the smaller wells
in the southern part of the State pen
citrate only about $50 feet, where a
stratum of water bearing rock is found
which furnishes an ample supply of

to the artesian basin, have great force
and volume, flowing from $500 to 8, 500
gallons of water per minute, and having
a pressure of 30 to 100 pounds 10 the
square inch.
One well at Yankton has been furn.
ishing 40-horse power during the last
two years, and the Importance of the
artesian well as motive power is even
of more Importance than for irrigation.
The question of an inexhaustible supply
seems to be satisfactorily answered by
reference to the wells of Yankton Coun-
ty alone, whose boundaries contain not
less than 100 of these spouters, and there
is no decrease of flow or force yet per-
ceptible.
In the State there are $50 wells, those
noted for great flow being located at
the following points: Yankton, $500
gallons per minute; Huron, q. 500; Woon.

GOVERNMENT MIS-ApPROPRIA-
TONS FOR HARBOR M
PROVEMENTS.

One would suppose that the govern
ment would at least try to treat the diff
ferent states and cities as nearly alike as
possible. and that it would not deviate
from a long established policy, simply to
favor few cities. determinations against
all the rest: yet this seems to be the
case as regards harbor improvements.
The government has heretofore refused
TO do any dredging inside the shore line
of lake harbors. holding that the respec-
tive cities should pay for all such dredg-
ing. Manitowoc has expended more for
dredging and has kept its inner harbor
in better navigable condition than
most cities of its size. The cost of this
work has been heavy burden to the tax
payers, but there was no complaint from
them, because they know the work must
be done and it might aswell be begun soon
er as later; and knowing also that in or
der to complete the work of dredging the
inner harbor, the greater part of the work
and expense of same, renamed to be
done and paid for in the near future.
The taxpayers were not dissatisfied with
the action of its city officers in appropri-
ating so much of the city's fund for
dredging, because they took it for grant
ed that other cities, similarly situated,
were either burdened with the same
heavy expenses, or had no water in their
harbors. But now we have it from good
authority, that Menominee, Mich. harbor
| received an appropriation at the last ses-
sion of Congress, of $4,000 for dredging
the inner harbor, and that too despite the
fact that Major Davis reported against
such an appropriation. In the face OF
such gross injustice, it is mighty dis
couraging for any city to pay for work
out of its own pocket, which some other
cities have paid for them by the govern
ment: in other words, we must contribute
toward dredging Menominee harbor be.
sides being obliged to pay for dredging
our harbor ourselves.
| Ine question Is, ought tnls CITY 10 pay
out another cent for dredging the river:
Certainly not under the circumstances as
long as it can possibly get along with,
out, and then under protest only, if that
would do any good. Judging from the
precedent established in the case referred
to, if acted upon as such in the future by
| congress it would seem to be good policy
to await further developments before
any city attempts to do for itself what
the government is doing for others.

THERE Is some fault-finding because
the democratic state administration that
is to be, permits those not officers elect
to make appointments. 1t is an evidence
Of good sense on the part of the coming
officers. 1t is of no consequence to the
people who are appointed if the service
is good and the gentlemen who are man
aging the business are no spring chickens.
If Gov. Peck viii continue to be as tract
able while in office rs he has been in the
preliminary skirmish his administration
Will be a successful ore. 1t is always
wise to permit those to do for you that
which they can DO much better than you
can do yourself. The real appointing
power has nothing to do with the efii-
cheney of the person appointed. Gov.
Peck is acting wisely in delegating a
trust to those who are fully competent
to discharge it.

last week which afforded considerable
amusement to those who heard Oft. He
was at the railroad bridge on work con-
nected with his position as harbor mas
ter. A freight train was just about to
pull out and as Johnson was likewise
ready to leave, he jumped on to the rear
car, thinking of course that the train
would stop at the depot. To his amaze
ment it kept right on until it reached
Newton and there he dismounted and
walked back The story leaked out and

STATE SUPT.-ELECT WELLS is writing
an essay on the Bennett law which he
will read at the meeting of the Wiscon-
sin Teachers Association. There was a
time when Mr.. Wells opinions on this
matter would create some interest. Be-
fore he became candidate for state
superintendent his caution did not COM
mend policy of silence regarding the
merits of the law, and he is on record as
approvingit and deprecating any attempt
at making 1t a campaign issue. But his
integrity could not withstand his desire
for office and he accepted the nominal
ton for Superintendent of Public In
struction on platform which denied the
necessity of creating enlarged opportun-
tiles for instruction in the English lang
uage.
The present status of the Bennett
law is sufficiently clear without any
labored demonstration on the part OF Mr.
Wells. 1t is subject be should let
severely alone. When 1.-THE fight was on"
Mr.. Wells was not eagerly pressing to
the front to give his opinions voice. Now
when swords are rusting in their scab-
bards for want of argument, there is
something ludicrous in the appearance
of a painted warrior indulging in mimic
warfare.
When the Bennett law was an issue
Mr. Wells might with some propriety,
and possibly with some effect, have at
tempted an calculation of its principles"
The principles of the law which he recog-
nized during the campaign, were that
1t Is unnecessary, undemocratic, I'M
American and unconstitutional" The
people sustained him in these views and
thus fixed the present status" of the law
To be consistent Mr. Wells should sim
mer his paper down to plain Anglo-Saxon
and not use single dictionary word"
In announcing that I'VE won: the BENEFIT
law will be repealed" He would thus
earn reputation for directness. candor
and brevity. something which will be of
great assistance 10 him in dealing with
loafer factories which by courtesy are
known as public schools.

The Irish difficulty continues to be the
absorbing topic of the times The stu
alton at present is very serious and there
is prospect that blood will be shed.
Parnell is making tour of Ireland de-
hvering species and if not opposed by
the clergy would come out triumphant.
But with the church opposed to him
there can be only one outcome. his de
feat. Tim Healy is fighting Parnell with
more bitterness than he ever DISPLAYED
toward the enemies of ireland. The Eng
ish people are enjoying the faction fight
hugely. The hope of home rule for Ire
land is now wholly gone Justin Me-
earthly. who is opposing Parnell without
selfish motives is heartily sick of the
whole affair and it would occasion no
surprise if he should retire permanently.
The factions are growing more bitter and
the whole thing has become a disgrace

lost sight of.

Gov PECK Is daisy after all. When
he learned that The Pilot was particular
ly interested in preventing Walker and
Schmitz from being made Colonies, he
adopted scheme which effectually block
ed their ambition while relieving himself
of the d'sagreeable task of positive refusal
to grant their wishes. No person is to
be appointed colonel until he has pur-
chased uniform worth $3.50. When the
announcement was made Walker came
to Manitowoc at once and attempted to
borrow that sum at The Pilot office

wouldn't fill the bill. But he insisted
