The excellent condition in which the
roads in this part of the country are in,
has proven a blessing of inestimable
value to all. Our country brethren are
happy insomuch as they can haul at
least quarter more to every load now,
than before the good sleighing. Wood,
usually scarce article, is at present
very plentiful and brings a good price
too. The live stock markets are very
active, especially the hog market.
Every day sees from twenty TO forty
loads Of hogs brought in, and from 10
to 20 car loads are shipped to the Chi
cago market every week The farmer
who has wood to haul is not the only
individual directly benefited by the ad-
mirable condition of the roads. Trans
portatlon, travel etc. is made easy, and
in consequence business is more active
in every branch.

tain over one and one-half acres and is

cistern, and 68 foot well with 20 feet
of water in ii; barn and stable for two
horses and two cows, good buggy
shed, a chicken house and other desir-
able conveniences. This property is in

The Farmers Institutes have unques-
done good work for the
farmers, and in fact for all the people
of Wisconsin. When the farmer is
benefited everyone else is. He is the
main wheel in the productive and pro-
gressiye machinery of the country. A
failure in his work dulls all trade and
pinches every industry. Located at i
distance from each other and kept bust
~ engaged with the details of farm life,
there is not that social intercourse
among farmers that there is among
those who pursue other callings. and
one object of these institutes is to bring
them together and to get them inter-
ested in the discussion of farm topics
and in the habit of nterchanging ideas.
