a TWISTED TALE.

Once on a time-this tale Is true
There lived an individual who
Believed his intellect held moro.
Than other mems did ten times Ger
he had most everything down pat
Enlightened folks on this and that,
And pointers" gave to great and small
This man who used to know 1t all
He told the farmers how to till
Their fields, their bins to overfn;
He told the merchants how to sell
Their goods that they their gains might swell
He told the writer's what to write
II they the people would delight:
Prosperity to them would fall
Who needed him who knew it all
Much Of his precious time was spent
In bowling at the government,
And Providence he'd often rake
For making some great big mistake
There wasn't anything but what
He thought he knew it to dot
And wisdom waited at the call
OF him who used to know 1t all
But strange as It may seem to you
IT'S no more strange than 1t is true
This man ne'er did single deed
To prove to other folks that he'd
The brains whereby he could invent
A plan to make a single cent
Good luck it seemed would not bofan
This man who used to know 1t all
One day he saw-this knowing fool
A farmer try to lead a mule
The mule was stubborn-like and slow,
And finally refused to go.
And as tho farmer pulled and swore
The mule hung backward all the moro
sit won't do any good to maui
The BRUTE" said he who knew 1t all
''But I've q little plan, you betl
To make that mule get up and getl
III neither beat, nor fog, nor fail
The beast, III simply twist his tall"
The farmer said: ut will not do
The wise man said he guessed he knew.
Bill Bang!l The funeral was small
OF him who used to know it all
There may not be q moral here,
But yet this thought is pretty clear,
We're very Uery VERY wise,
But yet some day to our surprise
We may bump up against fact,
And get our dome of wisdom cracked
'Twere well to now and then recall
The tale of him who knew it all

Its Prospects Are Brighter.
Plan to ReOrganiSe tie Green Bay
Road by Issuing Ne70 Bonds.

The committee representing the bond
and stock holders have formulated
plan for the reorganization of the
Green Bay, Winona & st. Paul railway.
At the request of the Farmers Loan
d Trust company, of New York city,
Judge Jenkins appointed that company
receiver for the road in August, 1890.
At that time the bonded Indebtedness
OF the railway was very large. 1t is
now proposed to reorganize the road
by issuing series Of bonds due in 1911
TO the amount of 81, 100000 bearing 5
per cent. interest; a series of bonds
amounting to 1871 900 to fail due in
1906, and to bear i per cent interest.
Preferred stock to the amount of
$1,000, 900 and unpreferred stock to the
amount of SS,000,000 will also be issued.
1t is thought that this plan will be
carried out. The Green Bay road was
built some twenty years ago, and up
to this time has never proved a great
financial success. Recently, however,
the road was built through to kewaunee.
and is receiving its share of the trans
continental business, which comes from
the East by way of the lakes, and it is
stated that the prospects for the road's
making money now are very bright

WISCONSIN AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
STATION.

To farmers residing in localities
infested with the Chinch Bug during
the summer of 1891:
The chinch bug (Blissus leucopterus)
may be expected to appear the coming
season in localities that were infested
with it last season. The later brood of
this insect passes the winter in the
winged state, under rubbish, in corn
shocks and straw piles, under boards
and among dead leaves in the woods;
most abundant, usually, around the
edges Of fields and IN th1ckets, and in
the borders of woods. From these
lurking places, such of the insects as
survive the winter emerge in April
and May (possibly sooner if the season
opens early and, after pairing, lay
their eggs in May and June in grain
and corn fields. Each female insect
is believed to be capable of laying
about FIVE hundred eggs, and it is from
these eggs that the injurious attack
proceeds. Such being the case, it is
clear that in proportion as we are able
to destroy the insect before they
emerge from their winter hiding places,
SO far we can reduce the danger of
serious attack the coming season.
1t is therefore recommended that in
districts infested with the chinch bug
last season, all areas that would
naturally serve as alternating place
for the beetles, such as the borders Of
fields, weed infested spots, thickets
and the borders Of wood lots be burned
over, SO far as this is practicable, as
early this spring as the ground becomes
sufficiently dry and that all brush,
straw and rubbish piles and corn shocks
in or about Infested fields be promptly
and thoroughly destroyed by burning.
The more thoroughly this recon-
mendation is put into pratice the less
will be the danger of serious attack
of chinch bugs be coming season.

BEGIN lining AGAIN.


When sometimes our feet grow weary,
On the rugged hills of life
The paths stretched long and dreary,
With trials and labor rife
We pause on the toilsome journey,
CHANGING backward in valley and glel
And sigh with an infinite longing,
To return and begin life again.
For behind is the dew of the morning,
In all its freshness and light,
And before are doubts and shadows.
And the chill and gloom of night.
We remember the sunny places,
We passed so carelessly then,
And ask with a passionate longing,
To return and begin again.
Ah vain indeed is the asking;
LIES duties press all of lis on,
And who dare shrink from the labor,
Or sigh for the sunshine that's gone?
And, it may be, not far before us,
When we are approaching the end,
Lies pathway may lead by still waters,
Though we may not begin Lie again.
ForeveFmore, upward and onward,
Be our paths on the hills of life,
And soon, with Il radiant dawning.
Transtigure the toll and the strife;
And our Fathers dear hand will lead us
Tenderly upward, then
In the JOY and peace of fairer world,
He'll let us begin again.
