infamed condition of the udder, which
is commonly called garget. The treat

udder, with gentle kneading to soften

Bare lama Is waste Land.

An investigation of the best methods
of farming in England has proved that
a poor, arabic soil, without vegetation,
loses annually by drainage, nitrates
equivalent to pa pounds per acre of
sodium nitrate. And yet in the face Of
such fact, farmers will persist in
turning out land to recuperate without
sowing anything upon it, and they will
follow this up by writing to know
whether 200 pounds of nitrate Of soda
is not sufficient dressing of this fer
tilizer to enable them to make that
same land produce good crop. The
naked land itself, by natural drainage,
wastes more than that amount of this
fertilizer per acre every year it lies bare.
Cover it with growth Of peas, clover,
beans, rye or vetches, and not only
will this natural waste be stopped, but
nitrates will be accumulated in the
land for the food of subsequent crops
If you must turn out land from inabil-
ity to cultivate it, at least cover it with
crimson clover, to hold and increase the
nitrogen in the soil until wasted again.

Glad to get Home Safe.

Owing to stormy weather the excursion
of the Sunday school children OF the Bap-
fist and NJ. 4. churches was postponed,
and took place Thursday. The schooners
King and Chapelle had been chartered to
carry the young people and their friends
to the island, and the tug Ralph was to
do the towing.
About nine o'clock Thursday morning
the people had gathered on the Hitch
cock wharf in great numbers, and both
vessels were soon crowded with oxcur-
sionlsts, and when the King had already as
many people as she could comfortably hold
on her decks, the children OF the two SUM-
day schools marched to the wharf, headed
by band. They numbered several hun
dred, and when added to the crowd al
ready on the King and Chapelle, CON-
pletely filed them. The crowd was so
large that 1t was thought best to engage
another vessel, and the Sunny Side was
chartered, making three vessels In the
Ralph's tow. The King presented an i'm
posing sight as she was towed down the
river. The forecastle deck was covered
with excursionists, the main was densely
packed with men, women and children,
while the cabin roof was hid by humanity.
Boys were seated on the main boom and

Considerable Money In Alpena,

There are three banks In Alpena-the
Alpena National bank, the Alpena Coun-
ty Savings bank, and the private bank Of
the Comstock Brothers. The first and
last named were established In 1871, and
the savings bank on April 10th, 1894.
Two of the banks arc obliged to make re-
ports at certain periods OF the year and
publish them, but the private bank Is not
by law compelled to publish a statement
Of It's resources and liabilities.
The reports Of the two banks We're re-

Of 1857, 481 90, and the Savings bank has
deposits Of So, 808.86, making the total
deposits In the two. banks amount to $780,
064.75
1t Is certain that at date people OF this
city have at least half million dollars Of
savings deposited In Alpena banks, and
1t certainly speaks we'll for a community

q large surplus.

April OF this year, and its first public re-

We believe that the greater part Of the
savings deposits were made by persons
Of small means, and 1t speaks favorably
for Alpena when her citizens in these
days Of business depression are able to
save money and put 1t out at interest.
When the new bank was organized there
were two old and reliable banks In the
city, 80 that 1t had to seek its business,
to great extent, from class who either
spent their earnings or hid them in secret
places. In addition to the savings de-
posits, the bank has commercial deposits

business, amounted to $10l, 10S.e9.
